Patrol Missions
Patrol mission
Konoha Military Police Force.
"Hey, did you hear? Our new boss seems to be a ten-year-old brat!"
"Hehe~ This is really hilarious. From now on, we'll be bossed around by a little brat..."
"Don't say that, they have a core disciple of the Uchiha."
Six young people, aged between fourteen and twenty, dressed in Konoha Military Police Force, were identified as four men and two women.
One of the long-haired youths looked up at the time and said irritably, "Looks like we've been put on airs right from the start. We're already late on our first day in office!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than another voice followed.
"Listen carefully: never complain about your boss being late."
"Huh?!" Everyone heard the sound coming from the window and instinctively turned their gazes, only to see that the window, which had been pushed open, was empty, as if it had been blown open by the wind.
The next second, everyone quickly turned their attention back to the hall, where a boy in uniform was sitting on a sofa not far away.
"When?!"
"That armband, could it be...?"
Everyone looked astonished. First, they had no idea when Shunren had entered, and second, the two red armbands on Shunren's right shoulder identified him as the squad leader.
Shunren's gaze swept over the six people in front of him, his expression calm. Judging from their reaction speed just now, he had a rough estimate of their strength: two Special Jōnin and four Chunin.
That's about the level of his subordinates.
After everyone realized what had happened, their expressions turned somewhat unpleasant. Although Shunren didn't say much, his brief display of skill was clearly a warning to them.
"Wow~ So cool!" However, Shunren's intimidation was seen as showing off by the girl. There was a young girl, about fourteen years old, with brown hair and a pair of light purple eyes filled with starlight.
Shunren glanced at her. The first person to detect his presence was this girl, and it seemed she knew a little about Sensory Technique.
"Yay~ Our little captain is so cute~" The speaker was a girl with braided hair and round-framed glasses. She was quite well-endowed and looked to be around twenty years old. However, judging from her blank expression, she exuded an aura of "I'm an idiot," which is what they call "big boobs, no brains." Of course, Shunren's attention wasn't on her, but on her ten fingers. They were fair, slender, and long, with each fingernail meticulously trimmed, giving her a pure and clean appearance. She was probably a medical-nin, and the small backpack she carried likely contained medicine or something similar.
As for the other four youths, they all carried a short sword, suggesting they were pure martial arts ninjas.
There's nothing to worry about; they're just a bunch of nameless extras from the Shunren.
"Alright, you can all do as you please. Although I'm your leader, I generally won't interfere with your activities." Shunren had no intention of ordering his subordinates around. He didn't come to the Konoha Military Police Force to indulge in leadership, but rather to complete tasks according to his own needs.
The difficulty doesn't need to be too high, just moderate is fine. There's no need for Shunren to pursue high-difficulty tasks, because the higher the difficulty, the more strength he would have to exert, which wouldn't be conducive to his practice of new sword techniques.
Shunren's words clearly and simply expressed his stance.
This surprised everyone slightly. After all, they thought that Shunren, who had become a squad leader in the Konoha Military Police Force at such a young age, would definitely be arrogant and domineering, and like to show off. But now it seemed that he was not quite the same as they had imagined.
"Forehead..."
"Even the self-introduction upon first meeting was omitted..."
"This guy completely disregards us!"
Some astute individuals recognized Shunren's intentions.
He was immediately dissatisfied, but it was true; Shunren didn't take these people seriously. Shunren's attitude was also very clear: you guys go do what you're supposed to do, I'm not going to do missions with you.
Shunren ignored the crowd's dissatisfaction. Although he was a newcomer to the Konoha Military Police Force, according to the law of the ninja world, he had overwhelming strength and had no reason to be subservient to them. On the contrary, as his subordinates, they should be doing their jobs according to Shunren's wishes!
"That's all." After saying that, Shunren went to his desk, opened the stack of task scrolls, and selected a suitable task.
The first volume is C-Rank Mission: apprehending criminals. In such a large village, there are bound to be some petty thieves, but those who dare to commit theft in a ninja village are usually ninjas. Ninjas committing crimes naturally need to be punished by ninjas, which is also a daily task for the Konoha Military Police Force.
Shunren put down the scroll. This was a routine task usually done by Chunin, and it didn't require much skill.
Volume Two is C-Rank Mission: patrolling the village. It's only natural for ninjas to be brave and combative. If you discover ninjas fighting in the village, things could easily escalate. Fighting fire with fire is the best option.
Volume 3 is B-Rank Mission: patrolling outside the village. Konoha, one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, is surrounded by numerous spies and ninjas from other countries, especially now during wartime. These missions are usually carried out by Special Jōnin or those with Jonin strength; after all, anyone daring to infiltrate the area around Konoha must be quite skilled. There's a degree of danger involved, but the chances of catching them are relatively high.
After thinking for a moment, Shunren decided to accept the two scrolls of patrol missions. The patrol range covered both inside and outside the village, a distance that allowed him to practice the Body Flicker Technique throughout, while simultaneously using his Sensory Technique to search for unusual Chakra fluctuations. This was not a difficult task for Shunren.
