The next day, Kurosawa was smiling as he counted the coins he got from selling the pigs yesterday.

After counting, he put all the money into his pocket.

"Very good, very good. You have passed my test. You don't have to go back to school again."

"Teacher Kurosawa, I heard from other classes that their teachers didn't have very strict trials at all. Why was it that we almost lost half our lives here?" Tachibana Yulin complained.

"Didn't you say at the time that this was too easy and that I underestimated you? Why are you questioning me now? It turns out you were just bluffing."

"If we hadn't been lucky enough to encounter that spirit beast, we would have died miserably in the Black Beast Forest."

"Haha~ You are really lucky. You killed the most powerful corrosive spider inside."

"So you have been secretly observing us all along"

Ever since Ying Hui entered the Black Beast Forest, she had always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at them.

It turned out to be him.

"That's right. I don't care about your life or death. It's not that you are too strong. You can always get out of danger. There is no need for me to take action at all."

Just as they were chatting excitedly, an orange cat fell from the tree.

Kurosawa didn't even look at it and just grabbed the cat by the scruff of the neck.

He smiled and said, "See, you're so lucky that even the cats in the mission came to you on their own initiative."

……

"Oh~ my eldest daughter, mommy misses you so much!"

In the Hokage's office building, a graceful woman dressed in noble clothes was very happy and hugged the orange cat and kissed it fiercely.

Everyone present was afraid that the woman would get so excited that she would crush her cat to death.

"Oh, by the way, have you found my second daughter?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "If there is any news, we will..."

Before he could finish, Naruto suddenly opened the door of the commissioning room.

"Old man, we brought the cat back! Should we be given a different level of mission?"

"My daughter is finally back!"

When the woman saw the cats, she snatched them from Naruto's arms, hugged them and kissed them again. The two cats were in tears.

After the woman threw down the money and walked out happily.

Naruto couldn't help but complain: "What the hell is that old lady, calling a cat her daughter."

"You don't understand this. I also have a rebellious cat. When you feel lonely, at least you have a cat to keep you company." When talking about cats, Ju Youlin's face was full of happiness.

"So sometimes Yulin is as hot as a little wild cat!" Kurosawa joked.

When Ju Youlin heard these words, her face froze instantly and she felt like she had lost all desire to live.

"Well... okay, pay their wages and it's time to assign the next task." Sarutobi Hiruzen interrupted their conversation.

Ying Hui shook her purse. This rich woman was quite generous. She could get these in return if she handed over part of her money to Konoha.

"Next, there are two C-rank missions. Clients from the Wave Country, you can come in."

As he finished speaking, an old man carrying a bamboo bag and holding a bottle of wine came staggering in.

The old man looked around the room at everyone, then burped and pointed at them.

"What? Are all the people who accepted my mission just brats? If something goes wrong with me, can you afford it?"

Naruto looked at the old man unhappily and shouted: "Hey! You stinky old man, stop looking down on me!"

"Naruto! Don't be rude to your client." Sarutobi Hiruzen scolded.

"No...it was obviously him who was unreasonable first!"

"That's enough, stop messing around. This is Mr. Dazna from the Land of Waves. Your mission this time is to escort him to the Land of Waves safely."

"No? That's too boring! Third generation old man, what's the other mission?"

"Naruto, be careful." Kakashi, who had been silent, also reminded Naruto at this time.

"That's the mission of Team Nine."

"Hey, let me give it a listen. They are all C-rank missions anyway." Naruto looked expectant.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head helplessly.

"Hey~ Team 9, your mission is to go to the Land of Vegetables to purchase some goods. Because there are many thieves on the sea recently, the store has entrusted us ninjas to help with the purchase and transportation."

When Dazna heard their mission, he instantly became alert.

So he suggested: "You want to go to the Country of Vegetables? That's just right, it's closer by sea from the Country of Waves.

"Mr. Dazna..." Kakashi stared into Dazna's eyes and hesitated to speak.

“What…what’s wrong?” Dazna was a little nervous when he was staring at him. He dodged his gaze for a moment and then looked at him again.

"If you don't mind going the same way, there's nothing wrong with us."

"I don't mind... Of course I don't mind." Daz smiled awkwardly.

"This second mission is so boring... Forget it, I'll just have to deal with it." Naruto said to himself.

"Here is your order form."

The assistant next to Sarutobi Hiruzen handed over a list and a bag of order money.

"Oh, thank you." When Kurosawa saw the money, he suddenly became energetic and hurried forward to take it.

But Ying Hui took it away first, and she took out the payment and counted it.

"Seven thousand taels in total, right?"

"Um... yes... that's right." The assistant didn't expect her to confirm it again, so he was a little confused.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and nodded. This child is quite cautious. Not bad. He has the potential to become a jonin.

Ying Hui put the money back into the file bag and handed it back to Hei Ze.

"Such an important thing should be handed over to the teacher for safekeeping."

Kurosawa took the money, his mouth twitched stiffly, and he gave a fake smile.

"Then teacher...thank you for your trust."

The corners of Sasuke's mouth rose slightly, and he suddenly remembered Ying Hui who bargained with him in the snow that year.

Konoha gate.

"Let's go! This is my first time walking out of the Konoha gate and seeing the outside world. I can't wait!"

Naruto was already extremely excited the moment he stepped out of the gates of Konoha.

Dazna looked disgusted, "Is this brat really okay?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Dazna. I'm a jonin here, and we won't be fighting against ninjas or the like on this mission," Kakashi explained.

"We were here before we arrived at the Land of Waves, so Grandpa Dazna, you don't have to worry." Tachibana Yurin also tried to comfort her.

She looked at Dazna and thought of her deceased grandfather, so she was particularly gentle today.

"Mr. Dazna, I see you seem to be worried about something. Why don't you tell me about it?" Kurosawa asked in a playful tone.

"It's okay. I'm just thinking about what to do next for my unfinished bridge."

"But you, the Wave Country, are very far-sighted. If the bridge is completed, it will be like opening the door to wealth. May I ask if you are still short of investment for the bridge?"

"Um... investment may..."

"If I invest, then the dividends from the investment will be..." As he said this, Kurosawa put his arm on Dazna's shoulder, squeezed his hand, and began to hint to Dazna.

"Kurosawa, please stay away from our client." Kakashi took his arm away and walked between the two of them.

"How petty! We are all colleagues now, and we should put aside our hatred for each other."

"I don't have hatred, I have prejudice."

"Tsk tsk, your words are really hurtful! After all, we are friends who have risked our lives for each other, how could you ..."

As the two were talking, suddenly, four dark shadows emerged from the ground.

The enemy tied up the two men separately with thick toothed chains, and before anyone could react, they were torn into pieces in an instant.

The fragments fell to the ground and dust rose up.

"what!!"

"teacher!"

Naruto and Haruno Sakura both yelled at the same time.

Then the two enemies went straight towards Naruto.

But Naruto had not yet recovered from the shock. Watching the enemy attacking him, his legs felt like they were filled with lead and he stood there motionless.

Sasuke immediately threw a shuriken, nailing the enemy's fang chain to the tree, and then threw a kunai, piercing the middle hole of the shuriken.

"Can't pull it open?" The enemy was stunned.

Sasuke took advantage of this opportunity, jumped onto his enemy's arms, and kicked him hard in the head with both feet.

Just then, two other enemies with chains also rushed towards Sasuke and Naruto.

Ying Hui immediately stood behind Sasuke and cut the chain between the two enemies with a short knife.

However, the two enemies who were kicked hard by Sasuke threw away the chains in the mechanism and quickly moved away.

One rushed towards Naruto and the other rushed towards Dazna.

"Uncle, step back!" Haruno Sakura immediately stood in front of Dazna, her hand holding the kunai still trembling.

Seeing them rushing towards Dazna, Ju Yulin was unusually sober this time.

"I won't let you hurt Grandpa Dazna!"

She found the right moment, swung the whip, and instantly wrapped it around the enemy's neck.
