After opening the Second gate, my body felt calm. There was no more muscle tears or Exhaustion which meant the revitalization ability was being used alongside the Gate of Rest.
I threw a punch forward and I was surprised to see how fast it was, Sparing a look at the Status box, I found all of my stats had tripled.
'Considerable improvement,' I thought.
Shortly after, I cashed in on the rewards of the Daily quest.
…
Leaning on a wall in the Mission room, I stared at the ceiling. The Mission room was a part of the Hokage's tower, this was where all the missions were distributed amongst members of the Genin corps.
What surprised me was that the Hokage was behind the counter today alongside other Ninja and he was giving us our mission.
"Good morning Mr. Hokage," Hanabi said respectfully.
Sasuke maintained his calm uncaring demeanor only to get a head rub from Hiruzen who chuckled at his antics.
His eyes briefly met my figure and then went to Kakashi instead.
"How have they been?" Hiruzen asked.
"Well, Lord Hokage, Team 7 shows incredible cooperation," Kakashi said, "They're finely in tune and not to mention our resident strategist, Naruto Uzumaki who devises plans to complete missions quickly deserves a lot of praise,"
Kakashi's tone was sarcastic but he was giving me some praise- That's the least he could do.
Hiruzen was shocked but did his best to not show it as his eyes went back to my figure.
"Well Naruto, It seems you've grown," Hiruzen said and I looked at him, my blue eyes briefly meeting his.
"Lord Hokage, If I may say- Our missions have been quite easy," I said, "Too easy in fact, We have already completed 10 D-rank missions and we're already bored so can I request for a C-rank?"
I did this not only for my wellbeing but for the wellbeing of the others as well, Hanabi's Byakugan could see through any wall and most D-rank missions were about finding lost pets so imagine how easy that was.
Others were Babysitting which I really didn't like doing and then we have Shop keeping too, not to mention Community cleaning… Doing D-rank missions are stressful.
"Kakashi, what do you think?" Hiruzen asked, still clearly surprised by my demeanor.
Alright Kakashi- it's all in your hands.
"I think they're ready," Kakashi said, "It'll be a change of scenery for them and this will be very necessary for their growth as Shinobi,"
Yes, Fucking Yes Kakashi! You saved me from a death of boredom!
"Okay," Hiruzen gave a short reply and opened the small drawer at the side, revealing a green scroll.
"This is a C-rank mission, You shall escort a man named Tazuna who is a Bridge builder from the Land of waves," Hiruzen said, "He's here in Konohagakure now but the mission shouldn't be too hard,"
'This is an S-rank mission in disguise,' I thought as I let out a small sigh.
It was something to be mentioned that all Genin corps were required to have a Bingo Book. The people in the Bingo book have bounties on their heads and if you bring their heads in literally, You get the bounty money.
But for the strong people in the Bingo Book, Their names and faces were there so you could look the other way and run wherever you met them.
"Okay," Kakashi said, "It's just an escort mission, so it shouldn't take us long,"
"I shall send someone to notify him and you shall embark to the Land Of Waves in a few hours," Hiruzen said.
…
I want to burn through these hours doing something reasonable, Sure there would be clones busy continuing the research on the Strong Fist and others doing Chakra control exercises… I always wanted to know something.
There are some people that have red names right? What happens when you know… kill them?
I was in the business district and suddenly I saw someone with a red name.
"Status,"
…
[Status]
[Name: Uro Iganyo]
[Level: 23]
[Title: Iwagakure Spy]
[STR: 32]
[VIT: 30]
[END: 27]
[DEX: 33]
[INT: 29]
[Specialty: Assassin]
[Description: Uro Iganyo is a Chunin from Iwagakure working as a spy under the alias of a Genin of Konohagakure]
...
A spy, huh?
…
[Bounty has been generated]
[Target: Uro Iganyo]
[Bounty: 1, 000 SC]
[After killing your Bounty target, You can have one of their skills]
[Accept / Decline]
…
Holy crap, Look at that guy's bounty… His stats despite being a Chunin are a lot lesser than mine and not to mention that I have the gates.
I clicked Accept and instantly a red arrow appeared on his forehead, pointing down to him. Yeah, this is a far better way to spend my time.
I followed him around for a while, using my Sensory ability of course to maintain a gradual distance from him. That is until he reached one of those Training grounds, Training ground #53.
I hid in a bush as the brown haired man continued walking, only to turn around and threw two Shuriken in my direction. My reaction was quick though as I leapt out of the way.
"You've been following me, haven't you?" Iganyo asked.
"And so what if I have?" I asked, "I'm just intrigued about you… Spy,"
The last word of my sentence made him surprised and that moment of surprise was enough for me to exploit, I dashed to him and closed the distance between us quickly, entering the Strong Fist stance.
Iganyo threw a punch forward but I ducked, giving him a stronger punch right in his stomach. His pupils dilated as he staggered backward, the force laced in that blow had caught him off guard.
While he was disoriented, I jumped into the air landing a powerful kick on the back of his skull. Ripples went through the air as his face was engraved into the ground the next moment, blood rushing out of his ears.
You know since he was an Assassin type Shinobi, I was expecting a longer battle but it seemed I caught him off guard a little bit too much- After all, I'm supposed to be a weak Genin.
