It's better to be a rebel ninja than to be a Hokage

Let's briefly sort out the levels of missions that ninjas perform.

The tasks performed by ninjas are divided into five levels according to the three ninja levels: Genin, Chuunin, and Jonin.

There are four levels, A, B, C, and D, in the order of the 26 letters of the alphabet, from high to low difficulty.

And S-level tasks which are more difficult than A-level tasks.

Needless to say, D-level missions were the only missions the three members of Team 7 had been carrying out since they became ninjas two months ago.

Although D-level missions are also ninja missions, it is better to say that ordinary people can also complete missions of this level - the only difference is that "if you ask a ninja to do it, things will be solved faster."

Just like Mrs. Shijimi who always loses her pet cat, if the cat Xiaohu hides on the eaves, ordinary people may have to find other ways.

But the ninja only needs to jump lightly to stand on the roof.

Therefore, D-level missions are not dangerous at all for ninjas.

They are just chores like taking care of children, looking after pets, or even helping with farm chores.

C-level missions are slightly related to the nature of ninjas. Violence may be used in the missions, but the targets of violence by ninjas in C-level missions are just ordinary people who pose a threat of force.

For ninjas who can use ninjutsu to deal with these ordinary people, it is just like adults bullying children.

"...Mr. Dazna, when you made a request to Konoha, you should have learned about the ninja mission hierarchy from the Konoha staff who was responsible for issuing your request, right?"

After dealing with the bodies of the ghost brothers, Kakashi looked at the fidgeting Dazna and asked.

Naruto used the mind-decapitation technique to imprison the two demon brothers, sparing their lives.

But as the ninja who attacked them was also a rebel, Kakashi couldn't possibly let the two demon brothers live forever.

After getting the necessary information from the ghost brothers, Kakashi dealt with them on the spot.

This is the norm in the ninja world, kill and be killed.

Even the most peaceful of the five major nations, the Konoha Ninja Village, firmly adheres to this law of survival.

Having obtained the information, Kakashi changed his previous easy-going attitude and confronted Dazna in an interrogative tone.

Dazna said nothing, as if he thought that as long as he adopted an attitude of neither admitting nor denying, he could confuse Kakashi's questioning.

"...Mr. Dazna, I know you may have some unspeakable reasons. But we made a contract with you because the commission you reported to Konoha was a C-rank mission."

Kakashi glanced at Naruto and the others before continuing, "According to the level of the mission, the village will assign ninjas of corresponding strength to carry out the commission. My subordinates have just graduated from the Ninja School not long ago. Because yours is a C-rank mission, the Hokage assigned my team to this mission."

"You have concealed the true difficulty of the mission, and it has reached B level."

If it is a C-level ninja mission, the regulations also allow for Genin to be assigned to carry it out.

B-level missions that require fighting with ninjas can only be accepted by ninjas with the strength of Chunin.

The upper limit of commission for D-level tasks is 50,000 taels.

The minimum commission for a C-level task is thirty thousand taels.

The commission for a B-level task is between 80,000 and 200,000 taels.

However, it is almost impossible to hire a ninja for a B-level mission at the lowest possible commission.

One only needs to look at the ninja-level commission prices to see why Dazna lied about the mission levels.

The commission that Dazna paid to Konoha was somewhere between the high price for a D-rank mission and the low price for a C-rank mission.

He hired ninjas to perform B-rank missions at such vague prices.

"This is not just a matter of commission price. False information will cause us as ninjas to make wrong judgments. Your commission is beyond the capabilities of my team."

Kakashi characterized Dazna's behavior.

This matter is extremely bad and its seriousness needs no elaboration.

No matter how much Dazna's secrets are, no matter how he tries to whitewash his actions.

What this alcoholic old man did was essentially "pushing a young child into the fire."

Dazna obviously knew how irresponsible his behavior was, both to the ninjas who protected him and to himself.

If Dazna's previous silence was intentional, now he really has nothing to say.

Seeing that Dazna was unwilling to discuss the matter with him, Kakashi no longer cared about the client's feelings.

Kakashi returned his gaze to the three members of Team 7, "This mission is too early for you. Let's go back to the village. I will report the details to the Hokage."

Naruto had no objection to this. The battle between Team 7 and the Demon Brothers just now was enough for Kakashi to include them in the list for the next Chunin Exam.

As long as Kakashi has such intention in his heart, Naruto is confident that he can make Kakashi change his mind from "preparing to apply for the Chunin Exam" to "officially participating in the Chunin Exam" before the Chunin Exam.

Although if Naruto could go to the Land of Waves as in the original work, he would be greeted with about half a month of free life without surveillance, which made Naruto somewhat tempted.

But one thing more is worse than one thing less.

Deep down in Naruto's heart, he doesn't have the sense of responsibility or honor that a ninja needs to complete his mission.

Naruto, who has anti-reconnaissance capabilities, feels more at ease in the familiar environment of the village.

So should we continue to head towards Wave Country, or should we go back home now?

Naruto can accept it.

After thinking about it, Naruto decided not to express his opinion.

What surprised Naruto was that Sasuke didn't comment either.

He thought that someone like Sasuke, who harbored hatred in his heart, would desperately seek every opportunity to become stronger.

But thinking back carefully, in the original work, when Kakashi was about to terminate the mission and go back, Sasuke did not object.

It seems that Sasuke was still full of rationality before Uchiha Itachi reappeared in Konoha.

It was not until he met Itachi again that Sasuke became obsessed and pursued power at all costs.

In the original work, however, Naruto failed to see clearly his own strength and the danger of the B-rank mission, and he did not even blame Dazna for complicating the situation by reporting false information.

He shouted loudly to continue the mission.

If Haku hadn't been a guy who had never lost his kindness during his long life as a rebellious ninja, Naruto in the original work would have had to take the responsibility for killing Uchiha Sasuke because of his own arrogance and stupidity.

Since Sasuke had no objection, like Naruto, he gave the decision of whether to continue the mission of protecting Dazna to Kakashi.

According to Kakashi's personality, he who cherishes his friends in the village should decide to give up the mission immediately.

But there are always unexpected things.

This sentence is really applicable in any situation.

In the original work, Sakura, who clearly advocated returning to the village, spoke up and expressed her opinion at this time.

"Kakashi-sensei, I…I think we should continue the mission."

While Naruto and Sasuke had no objection to terminating the mission, it was unexpectedly Sakura who wanted to continue the mission.
