Hearing Choji's words, Hagoromo, who was chatting with Asuma beside him, couldn't help but look at Asuma with a hint of pity.
Hey kid, your wallet's in for a rough time.
"What's wrong?" Asuma, who was smoking a cigarette, noticed Hagoromo's strange look and couldn't help but ask.
"It's alright, I'll take Naruto to carry out their mission first."
Hagoromo waved her hand, then called Naruto and the others.
The first day of ninja life had to leave a deep impression on Naruto and his Naruto.
"No, I need to finish my mission first. We can talk about barbecue later." Naruto declined Choji's invitation.
Now he just wants to complete as many missions as possible; even Shikamaru and the others have already completed two.
I can't afford to lose to my teammates whom I've trained with for several years.
Sasuke had the same thought, nodded to Shikamaru, and quickly followed Hagoromo away.
"Naruto isn't even eating the barbecue?" Choji looked puzzled, scratching his head as he watched Naruto and the others leave.
"I guess they think we've already completed two tasks and want to catch up."
Shikamaru shook his head and headed to the registration desk with the scroll.
Ino, standing to the side, looked at Asuma and asked, "Asuma- senpai, are you really sure you want to treat us to barbecue?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Asuma nodded.
"Then you'd better get your wallet ready~" Ino said with a sly expression.
After saying that, she ignored the curious Asuma and turned to walk towards Shikamaru.
"That's weird," Asuma muttered as he exhaled a puff of smoke.
That noon, Asuma understood the meaning behind Hagoromo's expression and Ino's words.
Holding her pitifully empty wallet, Asuma was on the verge of tears, and couldn't help but worry about what she would do if she went on a date with Kurenai in the future.

Time passed Tenten by day, during which Hagoromo led Naruto and the others into a mission-obsessed mode.
Fortunately, it was a holiday, and the previous intern ninjas had all successfully graduated and started taking on C-rank missions.
Otherwise, given Naruto and the others' pace of accepting missions, they might not even have enough D-rank missions to take on.
Every day in the mission hall, you can see Naruto and Sasuke frantically accepting missions.
Even Shikamaru, who's usually quite laid-back, got dragged along by Ino and Choji to start grinding missions.
This actually made Asuma's previously empty wallet full again.
After completing yet another D-rank mission, Naruto went straight to Hagoromo and started complaining.
"Teacher, when can we take on C-rank missions?"
"I heard that Asuma- senpai from Shikamaru's side is preparing to take Shikamaru and the others out of the village on a C-rank mission."
Sasuke, standing to the side, also looked on with anticipation, as the recent D-rank missions had indeed begun to frustrate him.
Hagoromo couldn't help but stroke her chin; indeed.
During this period, we have almost exceeded the target for D-rank missions.
From three or four a day at the beginning, to nearly a dozen a day now, and being able to complete this amount of work.
It's simply because Naruto frequently uses Shadow Clones, and he encounters tasks like taking care of children or cleaning up river debris.
Naruto simply creates Shadow Clones, while Sasuke and Hinata refuse any payment for the mission.
After all, Naruto accomplished all of this by himself.
However, it wasn't without its benefits, namely, it added to the ninja files of Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, and others.
The number of D-rank missions is approaching three digits, and this is only in less than half a month.
At least when Hagoromo compared her own records from back then, she realized she had only been arrested a pitifully fifty times.
Moreover, school will be reopening soon.
If Naruto are still carrying out D-rank missions, those sixth-year students preparing for their internships will probably be dumbfounded.
"Alright, after we hand in the mission, we'll take a day off. We'll start our C-rank mission the day after tomorrow."
After considering it for a while, Hagoromo felt it was necessary to let Naruto start going out of the village to see the outside world.
With the intervention of several major ninja villages, the Akatsuki simply vanished without a trace.
"Yay!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto jumped up with joy; he simply couldn't contain himself any longer.
Sasuke also smiled; doing D-rank missions all the time would no longer allow them to grow.
Moreover, he had heard his father say that his older brother had made rapid progress back then.
No matter what, I can't lose to Nissan.
"I'll prepare properly when I get back," Hinata said from the side.
If she were to leave the village, she would need to prepare some things carefully.
After all, one of her roles in the team is that of medical-nin, and she has to prepare everything that is needed.
"Wow! That's a great pose, Hinata!"
Naruto gave Hinata a thumbs-up in praise, while Sasuke secretly rolled his eyes.
Even he could see the difference between Hinata and Naruto, yet this idiot still hadn't realized it.
That Dead Last is a complete idiot!
Hagoromo, along with Naruto and Sasuke who were already prepared, headed to the mission hall to accept a C-rank mission.
He had already spoken to the old man about it yesterday.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had no objection to this, and it was indeed due to consideration of the tasks assigned to sixth graders in the new semester.
The frequency with which Naruto and Shikamaru take on missions is simply too exaggerated.
At this rate, even the sixth-year trainee ninjas will be able to lie down and do nothing.
Please take a look at the list of C-rank missions.
Hagoromo stepped forward and spoke to the ninja registering, who quickly pulled out a C-rank mission book.
Hagoromo looked at the task list in her hand and began to select tasks.
The first C-rank mission is mainly for training Naruto and his friends, so some of the more troublesome locations need to be avoided.
For example, the border line, and some places where wandering ninjas often appear.
However, looking through the quest Hagoromo, Yu Yi couldn't help but feel speechless, as it seemed that most of these quests had locations she had anticipated.
Oh well, Naruto and the others aren't too badly strong anyway.
Hagoromo shook her head and directly selected a mission location.
A giant beast has recently appeared in a small country bordering the Land of Fire and the Land of Water.
As for why the Land of Fire was chosen to award the prize, it was simply because ninjas had already gone to the Land of Water before.
However, it seems the problem wasn't completely solved in the end, as the giant beast reappeared after the ninjas from the Land of Water left.
"Let's take this mission."
Hagoromo spoke to the ninja who was registering.
"Okay, I'll register you right away, please wait a moment."
After that, the registration ninjas got busy, since every team leaving the village needed a permit to leave.
These items need to be registered with the relevant departments within Konoha before they can be collected.
