In Konoha, Attributes Double Daily!

Finally, his gaze fell upon the [Skills] column.

"Perhaps it's because I haven't learned any skills?" Hankuang wondered.

Skills were easy to understand, nothing more than abilities like throwing Kunai and Shuriken.

He guessed that the system likely deemed his basic ninja abilities as not well-learned because the skills column was empty.

It was like a top-tier physics expert who was severely lacking in other subjects.

He slowly finished breakfast and hadn't received any news about the team gathering.

"It seems Teacher has handled the rest period."

Just as Hankuang had thought.

At this moment.

Minato Namikaze stood in the Hokage's Office, engaged in a heated debate with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hokage-sama, why do all the other teams get a short rest period, but Team 9 doesn't?" Minato reasoned.

"Minato, Team 9 has the genius Kakashi, so they can't be treated like ordinary Genin teams," Hiruzen explained.

"Even with Kakashi, why doesn't Team 9 get a rest period when even Jonin teams do?"

"Why are you going in circles again?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was exasperated.

Logically, Minato was right! But he was the Hokage, couldn't he have a little privilege?

If it were any other Jonin, Hiruzen would never compromise.

But Minato was different.

Minato's teacher was Jiraiya, and Jiraiya's teacher was himself.

Moreover, Minato's lover was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina.

This meant Minato's suggestions were important, and even he, the Hokage, had to consider them carefully.

Helplessly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi could only approve a three-day rest period for Team 9.

"Is that all?" Hiruzen picked up his pen, ready to continue reviewing documents.

"Oh, right. Please reimburse Team 9 for 500,000 Ryo, Hokage-sama."

Thud!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pen dropped.

"Reimbursement? Five hundred thousand Ryo?"

"Yes."

"Doesn't Team 9's Hankuang have a bathhouse? Why would he need a reimbursement?" Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.

The value of that bathhouse was at least a hundred million. Was it lacking this five hundred thousand Ryo?

"Lord Hokage, you may not know, but although that bathhouse belongs to Hankuang, he doesn't even have enough money to reopen it!"

"For this mission, even the money to buy intel was taken from the Survivor's Benefit."

Hearing this reason, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no choice but to agree.

Because the Survivor's Benefit was involved.

If handled poorly, it would have a huge impact on him.

After writing the Reimbursement Slip, Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage." Minato bowed and left.

Looking down to continue reviewing documents, Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself.

"I never expected that I, the great Hokage, would be tricked by a Dead Last!"

As Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi had handled countless intel missions. No ninja had ever asked him for reimbursement.

Only Team 9!

"Survivor's Benefit?"

He didn't believe for a second that ninjas would carry Survivor's Benefit with them on missions outside the village.

It was obvious that Hankuang had played a trick on him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't know that the main reason Hankuang did this was to avoid missions, or even to be stripped of his ninja qualifications.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Training Ground Number.

Minato Namikaze smiled.

Team 9 cheered together.

"Alright, I got the money back for you. Why aren't you putting it away yet?" Teacher Minato asked, a little confused.

Logically, this money was the survivor's benefit for Hankuang's parents. Shouldn't he put it away properly? What was the meaning of leaving it on the stone?

Especially!

Obito was staring at the money with shining eyes, as if it were the survivor's benefit for Obito's parents.

"Uh, I was too happy, I almost forgot."

Hankuang was a bit embarrassed and put the money away.

"Cultivate well for these three days."

With those words, Minato Namikaze left.

"Quick, quick, divide the money!" Obito urged impatiently.

"Huh? I'm here too." Rin held out her hand.

"Isn't 50,000 Ryo per person a bit too little?" Kakashi implied.

"Heh, if I hadn't gone to Teacher Minato to complain, you wouldn't have gotten a single Ryo." Hankuang glanced at Kakashi and said calmly.

Chapter 31: Rasengan Doubled, Even His Name Was Lost?

At the request of the entire Team 9, Hankuang treated them again.

However, he chose a ramen shop as the location.

"Hey, aren't you being a bit too stingy?" Obito expressed his dissatisfaction.

A total of 500,000 Ryo, Hankuang took 350,000 Ryo for himself, and then he only treated them to one bowl of ramen each?

"I'm stingy?"

Hankuang smiled, "Boss, three bowls of ramen."

"Huh?"

Obito's eyes widened.

Four people, what did he mean by ordering three bowls of ramen?

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, Minato Namikaze appeared.

As soon as he saw Teacher Minato, Hankuang guessed that this rest period would probably be wasted again.

"Emergency mission, report to the Hokage's Office immediately."

With that, Minato Namikaze vanished using the Body Flicker Technique, leaving Team 9 speechless.

This mission came too quickly? Couldn't they at least finish their noodles?

"Guests, your ramen is ready~~" Teuchi had just served the noodles when he saw Team 9 bolt out the door.

"Hey! Your noodles!" Teuchi shouted.

"We'll leave them for now, we'll eat them when we get back from the mission!" Hankuang called back from a distance.

Eat them when they got back from the mission?

Teuchi's face turned red with anger.

By the time they got back, these noodles would be moldy.

"Dad, they haven't paid yet, have they?" a little girl poked her head out from the side and reminded him.

"Ah? That's right!"

Hokage's Office.

As soon as he entered the office, Hankuang saw a ninja with his head wrapped in bandages.
