Naruto started to become stronger by becoming a disciple of Tsunade

Since Okamoto Dousuke was not a normal graduating ninja school student, there was no need to group him into any so-called groups.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Okamoto Dousuke. Teaming up with several experienced Chunin or even Jonin is much better than teaming up with those freshly graduated kids, which will allow him to adapt to the battlefield faster.

The danger level of a scout team is relatively high. After all, scouts mean gathering intelligence, which requires going to dangerous places such as enemy villages or even the enemy's hinterland.

At 7:30 the next morning, I brought all the ninja equipment, especially some extra antidote reagents.

At 7:40, Okamoto Dousuke, who had everything ready, arrived at the gate of Konoha.

He was the only newly graduated genin, and leaving a good impression on his seniors might save your life at a critical moment.

After a while, three ninjas, two men and one woman, arrived at the gathering place.

After everyone arrived, one of the middle-aged men said, "I am the leader of this team, Nakajima Sodai. Everyone, please briefly introduce yourselves."

"Hello. I'm Okamoto Dousuke, a Genin, please take care of me." Okamoto Dousuke greeted warmly.

After Okamoto Dousuke finished speaking, Nakajima Sodai, who was looking at the three of them, had his eyes light up.

"Well, hello. I'm Hyuga Ritsu, a Chunin, and I've carried out several scouting missions." In the big eyes were a pair of white pupils, making the girl's eyes look hazy. The Hyuga clan's conspicuous bloodline limit made the girl look even whiter.

This is a member of the Hyuga family, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and about half a head taller than Okamoto Dousuke.

"I'm Takuto Aburame, a Chunin." Another hooded man gave a name indifferently and said nothing more.

"It's getting late, let's talk while walking!" Nakajima Sodai looked at the time, stood up and walked towards the village entrance.

When he arrived at the gate of Konoha, Nakajima Souda threw a kunai and inserted the pass into the gate of Konoha, then ran out first.

Okamoto Dousuke, Hyuga Ritsuie, and Aburame Takuto followed closely behind Nakajima Soudai.

"Our mission this time is to investigate the movements of Sunagakure. The village received a tip-off that Sunagakure has attempted to attack the ninjas of our village." Having said that, Nakajima Sodai looked back at Okamoto Dousuke who was leaping between the tree trunks.

In order to prevent the mission from being leaked, the leading ninja will only go to the Hokage Building to receive it before the mission starts. So except for Nakajima Souda, the others only knew that they were going to carry out a scout mission, but did not know the specific content and location of the mission.

"Because Okamoto Dousuke is a Genin and this is his first time to carry out a reconnaissance mission, he needs to be painted during the mission. You guys need to take good care of him, Takuto." Nakajima Sodai said to the two of them.

"Captain Nakajima, I don't understand. The reconnaissance mission is so important, why would you let an inexperienced Genin come? If you can't explain the reason, I'm afraid I can't accept dangerous actions in the next mission." Aburame Takuto said calmly.

"I don't know the specific reasons. As a ninja, you have the right to question, but not the right to refuse. Ninjas must put the mission first. And Okamoto Dousuke joins the team as a medical ninja. Do you understand?" Nakajima Sodai ordered.

"I understand" X3

This is someone with a backer. Maybe Tsunade asked Nakajima Sodai to protect Okamoto Dousuke as much as possible.

You have to know that scout teams often suffer casualties.

No one spoke during the rest of the journey. Since leaving the village, except for the beginning when Nakajima Souda introduced the mission, the rest of the time was spent on the journey.

Along the way, the four of them jumped quickly in the Konoha Forest and approached the border of the Land of Fire at an extremely fast speed. With precise chakra control, Okamoto Dousuke's water escape technique burst out with a speed comparable to the instant body movement technique, and he did not lag behind the others.

At noon, Nakajima Souda waved his hand and signaled everyone to stop. "Everyone stop, take a simple rest, restore your chakra, and continue on the journey in the afternoon."

"Little brother Dousuke, aren't you in the hospital? Why did you join this scout team?" During the break, Hinata Tachie leaned close to Okamoto Dousuke's ear and asked.

As Hinata Ritsuji got closer, Okamoto Dousuke smelled a pleasant scent, like the aroma of milk. The breath from the girl's mouth tickled his ears.

"Sister Ritsuie, do you know me?" Okamoto asked with a slightly blushing face.

"I heard that you have a good reputation among civilians. And I heard that you almost defeated Kakashi in the ranking battle of the ninja school. He was a monster who graduated at the age of 5 and became a Chunin at the age of 6. If it weren't for his teammates' low evaluation, he might have been promoted to Jonin." Hinata Tachie explained.

"The most important thing is that I heard that you were accepted as a disciple by Lady Tsunade!" Hinata Ritsu sighed as she looked at Okamoto Dousuke.

"So that's how it is. Ever since I was accepted as a disciple by Tsunade, I have really been noticed by all the powerful families! The future Yondaime will be a disciple of the Sannin." Okamoto Dousuke secretly calculated in his heart.

After simply eating some military ration pills to replenish their energy, they continued on their journey.

Kingdom of the Wind, border.

Nakajima Sodai and Okamoto Dousuke and a few others stood on a hillside, looking at the small town not far ahead.

"This town is located at the border of the Wind Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom. Because of the trade between the two sides, ninjas from various countries often appear in this town. So we will stay here for one night to collect intelligence and then make plans." Nakajima Sodai said, staring at the prosperous town not far away.

"Ritie, use your Byakugan to see if there are any ninjas in the village now." Nakajima Sodai turned and said to Hinata Ritie.

"White eyes, open"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hinata Ritsu opened his Byakugan.

The veins around Hinata's eyes were bulging, making him look a little more hideous than in the animation.

"There are chakra fluctuations from four ninjas, one in the center of the town, two in the northwest, and one in the southeast of the village," Hinata Tateie said in a low voice.

Nakajima Sodai took out a map from the ninja tool bag behind him and handed it to Hinata Tateie: "Tateie, please mark the location of the chakra fluctuation you just observed on the map."

"Okay." Hinata Lihui took the map and marked the location in a few seconds. Remind: "Captain, the two chakras in the northwest are very close, they may be together."

"I understand. So, Aburame Takuto, you will be responsible for the southeast area, Hyuga Tachibana, you and Okamoto Dousuke will be responsible for the area in the center of the town, and the remaining two areas in the northwest will be left to me." Nakajima Sodai finished arranging the tasks.

"Your task is to find out which country these ninjas are from. As for what they are here for, it would be best if you can find out. If you can't, retreat and don't alert them. We will gather at the hotel in the center of the town tonight and then discuss it." Nakajima Sodai said, pointing to the location marked as the hotel in the center of the map.

"Yes," Okamoto Dousuke, Hinata Tachibana and others answered in unison.

This arrangement is relatively reasonable. After all, Okamoto Dousuke himself is a newcomer and not the kind of ninja who is good at gathering intelligence. If there is no one to lead him, it is not certain that he can complete the task successfully by only gathering information on one target.
