Chương 16: Chapter 15: A-level task

In the basement.

Uchiha Natsu took out an immortal pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

However, after waiting for a long time, the expected drunken reaction did not come.

After the immortal Pill was swallowed, it became a warm current that passed through the whole body, and there was no follow-up.

Not to mention being very drunk, he didn't even feel slightly drunk, just like drinking a cup of hot water.

Moreover, the improvement of Uchiha Natsu's chakra is not great, but the skin seems to have become whiter.

"Could it be because my physique has been improved enough that only those like Uzuki Yugao, who have not experienced system improvement, will have the effect?"

Uchiha Natsu immediately thought of the reason and couldn't help sighing.

Originally, I thought that relying on immortal Pills would give me a leap in strength, but in reality, it didn't help much.

However, if he gave the immortal pill to his trusted subordinates, such as the disciple Yugao, it would be equivalent to improving his strength in disguise.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Natsu packed the remaining sending pill and stored it.

There was nothing to say all night.

Early the next morning, Uchiha Natsu came to the mission center and asked about the final result of the mission.

"The Third Hokage has approved the mission, and this mission level has been raised to B level."

The staff gave an affirmative answer, and Uchiha Natsu and Uzuki Yugao's resumes already had one more B-level mission experience.

Uchiha Natsu felt relieved and then saw a familiar figure walking into the mission center.

This time, Kakashi didn't wear a mask, nor did he wear Anbu's attire. After glancing at the hall, he went straight to Uchiha Natsu.

"Morning." Uchiha Natsu extended his hand in greeting.

"Natsu, the third Hokage is looking for you," Kakashi said concisely, as usual.

Uchiha Natsu's hand was in the air, and he felt that Kakashi was about to become a tool used by the third Hokage to find him.

Hokage has summoned him, and Uchiha Natsu couldn't delay. After saying goodbye to Kakashi, he immediately left the mission center and came to the Hokage Building, which was not far away.

As soon as he entered the door, Uchiha Natsu found that, besides the third generation, there were several acquaintances.

Standing on the right are Yamanaka Kaiichi and Uchiha Shisui; on the left are two advisors from Konoha Village; and Danzo has a bandaged right eye and a cane.

Danzo kept squinting his eyes, like a dying old man and only opened his eyes slightly after Natsu Uchiha entered the door.

But obviously, Danzo has no interest in Uchiha Natsu, and after taking a look, he continues to close his eyes and pretend to be dead.

"Master Hokage, the two advisors, and Lord Danzo." Uchiha Natsu saluted and said hello one by one, showing humility without showing any abnormal expressions.

Although there is some disgust in my heart,

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said in a deep voice, "Natsu, I called you this time because I want you to participate in an A-level mission and temporarily form a team with Kenichi and Shisui."

Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi shared the content of the mission with Natsu Uchiha.

During this period, Uchiha Natsu discovered that the Third Hokage always avoided Uchiha Shisui's eyes, whether it was intentional or not.

Even when explaining tasks, they deliberately avoided looking at each other.

It seems that the third Hokage already knows that Uchiha Shisui opened the Mangekyou. And there is a high probability that shisui took the initiative to say it.

However, after listening to the content of the mission, Uchiha Natsu couldn't help but feel a jump in his heart.

This unexpected development by Cloud made Uchiha Natsu feel a little strange. This time, going to Cloud Village in the Land of Thunder might be a trap.

Even if the chances are very small, if Cloud Village came to take revenge in reverse, wouldn't they be in danger?

After hesitating for a moment, Uchiha Natsu said cautiously, "Master Hokage, could this be a trap by Cloud Village?"

Danzo opened his eyes unexpectedly when he heard these words and then closed them slowly, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, the two consultants, Mitomon, and Koharu had their impression of Uchiha Natsu dropped a lot in an instant.

"This is the result of high-level negotiations between the two parties, and Cloud doesn't have the strength to declare war on us now. If you are afraid, replace someone else." snorted coldly and said

What Koharu said in the bed was exactly what Uchiha Natsu wanted; he didn't want to go into this kind of muddy water; he was just a Chunin, so he couldn't take the risk.

However, before Uchiha Natsu could make a sound, Hiruzaru Sarutobi laughed.

"Haha, it's a good thing to be cautious, and it's reasonable for Natsu to have such concerns. Rather, it's because of Natsu's character that I was chosen to participate in this mission."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, it was equivalent to an order, blocking the possibility of Uchiha Natsu's evasion.

Uchiha Natsu thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Master Hokage, is there anyone else participating in this mission?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand stroked his beard, and then said, "Take your disciple, Uzuki Yugao, too."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's idea is very simple. He thinks that Uchiha Natsu said this, probably because he wants to win the mission for his disciples.

After all, it was to win over Natsu Uchiha, so the third generation directly made the decision.

Because the mission this time is to sign a peace treaty, there is no danger in itself, and it is still an A-level confidential mission. This resume is very precious to the Chunggenin.

Moreover, Genin has almost no chance to come into contact with this kind of task.

So I sold it to Uchiha Natsu as a favor, and Uchiha Natsu will also appreciate his kindness in the future.

Originally, Uchiha Natsu just wanted to suggest that the fourth person choose a powerful jonin, such as Kakashi.

But the third generation said so, and Uchiha Natsu finally did not refute it but decided in his heart: this mission must use the shadow clone to participate.

If we want to fight, a bunch of shadow clones are released on top, and the main body can run as far as possible.

The two most important candidates have been decided, and the two consultants of are too lazy to care about the rest, so they didn't have any doubts about the decision of the third generation.

As for Danzo, he never spoke from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even look at Natsu Uchiha directly.

After the task was finalized, Natsu Uchiha, Kenichi Yamanaka, and Shisui Uchiha withdrew from the Hokage office.

"Senior Natsu, please take care of me on this mission," Shisui said to Uchiha Natsu with a smile as soon as he left the house.

The two are of the same family, so they have known each other for a long time, but they are not very close.

When they met for the first time, Shisui had just started school and Uchiha Natsu had already graduated, so Shisui called Uchiha Natsu "Senior Natsu."

Until now, Uchiha Natsu is a Chunin, but the eleven-year-old Shisui is already a Jōnin, but the title has not changed.

"It's me who has to rely on Shisui to take care of me." Uchiha Natsu also responded with a smile.

Several people already know each other, so there is no need to get too familiar with them. After saying hello, Uchiha Natsu ran to look for Uzuki Yugao.

When Uzuki Yugao heard that she was going to perform a very important A-level task with two jonins and the teacher, she immediately became excited.

But Uchiha Natsu explained his worries to Uzuki Yugao.

"Be careful; I will use the shadow clone on the bright side. But your shadow clone is not proficient; you can't use it in front of their eyes; you can only be vigilant at all times."

Uzuki Yugao put away her excitement, nodded solemnly, and understood the danger of this mission.

Uchiha Natsu was very satisfied with Uzuki Yugao's reaction and continued, "If there is an emergency, break my shadow clone, and I will find a way to solve it then."
