On May 24, after seven days of rest, Team 7 gathered beneath the Hokage Building again at eight in the morning.
Jiraiya was not late today.
For leisure reading, choose Taiwan Novel Network, էաҟąղ.çօʍ—utterly relaxing.
"Teacher Jiraiya, there was a complication with our last B-rank mission. Let's take another one today!" Akaseki said spiritedly.
Ranwu rolled her eyes beside him. "Did you even understand what Teacher Jiraiya said before? He said that before the Chunin Exams, we need to settle down and train for a while."
"We've done an A-rank mission before. Doing a B-rank mission can count as relaxing!" Akaseki said reasonably.
Ranwu: ...
"Akaseki, you must take missions seriously! Even jonin who have completed S-rank missions have died on B-rank missions," Jiraiya sternly corrected him.
"Yes..." Akaseki answered.
Then Jiraiya's expression relaxed. "But Akaseki did get one thing right... we really are going to accept a B-rank mission."
Akaseki immediately perked up at that.
"Huh?" Ranwu, meanwhile, was somewhat surprised.
"But Ranwu wasn't wrong either. This mission... well, although it's B-rank, it's relatively easy." Jiraiya explained further before saying, "Come on. You'll understand once you go inside and see it."
Akaseki: ...
Akaseki really wanted to ask whether this counted as "I got one thing right, and Ranwu wasn't wrong either."
A B-rank mission, and it was relatively easy...
Didn't that mean he had been completely right?
Out of respect for his teacher, Akaseki did not argue with Teacher Jiraiya.
Not long afterward, on the second floor, Team 7 found this designated B-rank mission—a mission specifically assigned to Jiraiya's team!
After reading the mission description, Akaseki and the others understood why Teacher Jiraiya had put it that way.
It was indeed B-rank, but it really was easy—collecting the Sealing resources at the former site of the Land
