Returning to Konoha separately from Kosovo, Hatake Meitan returned to the peaceful days of the past.

Because there was no right time, Hatake Akita had no reason to leave Konoha.

Until this day, Kakashi informed Hatake Akita that he was going out on a mission.

The mission this time is to escort Tatsuna back to the Land of Waves, which is the mission where Zabuza and Haku appear.

Although the level of the task from Hatake to Datsuna was not consistent with what he described, Hatake did not reveal it.

Otherwise, if the mission level increases, it will not be handed over to the seventh team to execute.

By then, he would have lost the opportunity to meet Zabuza and Haku.

"Just send these brats back with me? Are you sure they can protect me?"

Before entering the Hokage's office, Hatake Akita heard Tatsuna's furious voice.

"Mr. Dazuna, the remuneration you paid is only enough to hire them. If you are willing to increase the remuneration, we would not mind arranging stronger ninjas for you."

Naruto has also experienced a lot. When faced with Dazuna's questioning, he only answered tepidly.

Although Konoha is kinder than other ninja villages, it is not a good person either.

The reward provided by Dazuna and the situation described were only suitable for ninjas of the level of Team [-] to complete, and Konoha would not choose to waste manpower just because he was dissatisfied.

Of course, the Hokage didn't lie to him. If he could provide a reward, there might be a chuunin willing to take over the task, and the Hokage wouldn't mind changing the candidate at that time.

The Hokage replied, and Tatsuna had no way to refute.

If possible, he would also like to increase the reward and hire stronger ninjas to protect him when he returns to the Kingdom of Waves.

But the problem is that he has already spent all the money he has left, so there is no money left to increase his remuneration.

"And there are jonins leading them on missions, so you don't have to worry about safety at all."

Seeing that Tazuna was willing to compromise, Naruto's attitude became a little better.

Although tasks like this are carried out by ninjas of Team [-]'s strength, Konoha will also consider unexpected situations.

Therefore, the class teacher will also perform the tasks together.

However, the teacher cannot take action unless necessary, and students must complete the tasks independently.

In fact, the Hokage felt that this task assigned to Team [-] was overqualified.

After all, there is an exception in Team [-]: Hatake Akira.

The Hokage naturally knew about Ghost Light City, and also knew that Hatake Akita had the power to compete with ordinary jounin.

If you want Hatake Meitan to go on a mission, this reward is definitely not enough.

But there is no way, other classes already have other tasks, this task can only be taken over by the seventh class.

Moreover, Hatake Meitan has been thinking about going outside Konoha to practice recently, and this time is also a good opportunity.

After comprehensive consideration, the Hokage decided to let Team [-] accept this mission.

"Okay, but you'd better be careful. If you dissatisfy me on the road, I will definitely complain to you!"

When Dazuna heard that there was a jounin following him, he felt much relieved.

But he couldn't help but say a few words when he looked at Naruto and the three of them.

"Hokage-sama, is this the target we are escorting in this mission?"

Hatake Akita walked in at the right time, glanced at Tatsuna, and asked the Hokage.

"Who is this guy? Could it be that this brat is the Jonin you mentioned?"

When Tatsuna heard Hatake Akira's words, his expression turned ugly again.

No matter how you look at it, Hatake Akita is only the same age as Naruto and the others.

If you say he is a jounin, you won't believe it even if you beat Tazuna to death.

And Tazuna also knew that Naruto's class usually consisted of three people, so he naturally thought that Hatake Akita was the jounin mentioned by the Hokage, and thought that the Hokage was deceiving him.

"Although the mission this time is simple, you must carry it out seriously and put your own safety first."

The Hokage was too lazy to talk to Tazuna this time, and just spoke to Hatake Akita.

A normal person wouldn't think that Hatake Akita was the jounin he mentioned when he saw the genin forehead protector on his head.

And speaking of it, Hatake Meidan does have the strength of a jounin.

"hateful!"

Seeing that the Hokage didn't answer him, Tatsuna could only grit his teeth.

"Uncle, don't underestimate Mingtuan, he was able to fight a Jonin six years ago!"

Although the Hokage and Hatake Akita were too lazy to explain, Naruto, who was close to Hatake Akita, had to defend Hatake Akita.

"Mingduan? Are you the ghost sword?"

Although Dazuna has not been in Konoha for a long time, he has heard some words circulating in Konoha.

Among them, Ghost Sword Hatake Mingduan was the one he heard the most about.

At only six years old, he was able to face the undefeated Kumogakure Murakunin, and recently he almost injured him when fighting the warden of Oniden Castle.

"Sorry, I was rude!"

Dazna perfectly interpreted the word "adjust to the wind". His face, which had been filled with anger just now, was now full of smiles.

"It doesn't matter, after all, I still need to improve."

Hatake Akita didn't care about Dazuna's attitude, and he was misunderstood not once or twice.

"As expected of Ghost Sword, he has such a big belly at such a young age!"

Tatsuna ignored this and continued to praise Hatake Meitan.

"Also, the Jounin that Hokage-sama talks about is not me."

Hatake Akira said, pointing to Kakashi who was leaning against the wall at some point.

"Yo."

Seeing that the eyes were focused on him, Kakashi just raised his hand to say hello, and then turned his attention to the book in his hand.

"Haha, I'm so sorry."

At this time, Dazna also knew that he had misunderstood, scratched his head, and apologized sheepishly.

The farce in the Hokage's office was over, and the mission was about to begin.

Walking out of Konoha Village, Kakashi and Hatake Akita deliberately kept a little distance from other people.

"He didn't tell the truth. Please be more careful on the road."

Although Kakashi was talking to Hatake Akita, his eyes were focused on the book.

"Ah."

Hatake Akira responded, and the two of them followed.

Seeing Kakashi's attitude, Hatake Akira sighed inwardly.

Although he has lived with Kakashi for 12 years, he still feels that this person is a bit difficult to see through.

Just like now, it seems that he doesn't care about this matter, maybe because he thinks that even if Dazna lies, there will be no accidents beyond his control.

But in fact, perhaps only Kakashi himself knows how vigilant he is.

Along the way, everyone has different moods, and danger is quietly approaching.
