C-rank mission

"Alright, I surrender, I surrender, okay?" Anko surrendered reluctantly, wiping the drool from her face and glaring at Yang Xing, saying, "How disgusting! Don't you have any compassion for girls at all?"

"You tried to sneak into my room and ambush me, I'm just returning the favor."

"I... I..."

If this guy hadn't told her yesterday, she wouldn't have come so early. That bastard actually turned his back on her.

With her eyes wide open, Anko could only vent her dissatisfaction through her gaze.

But this kind of look didn't bother Yang Xing at all; instead, it made him feel a sense of pleasure, and a smug smile appeared on his Kakuzu.

"Fine, I can't beat you no matter what." Anko rolled her eyes angrily, but unexpectedly, Yang Xing turned around and pressed down on her.

Given their height, she was pinned down on the bed with her hands behind her back, and with Yang Xing's strength, she couldn't move at all.

Hey, what are you doing?

"I never said I'd let you off the hook. I haven't settled the score with you for sneaking into my room."

"So what do you want?"

"Of course..."

As Yang Xing's head drew closer, Anko's heart raced. The complex emotions she felt made her heart pound. She had initially thought Yang Xing might do something reckless.

To her surprise, that bastard, that despicable bastard, only touched her forehead. The way he smiled made Anko realize that she had been deceived.

"Just kidding." Yang Xing lightly touched her forehead, not kissing her at all, but quickly pulled away and jumped off the bed. "Well, it's getting late, I have things to do, I'll settle things with you later."

With a leap, Yang Xing got out of bed and put on her coat.

The movement was indeed very fast, leaving Anko stunned and unable to react.

By the time Yang Xing realized what was happening, he had already opened the door and left the room.

"Also, next time you're going to come, it's best to do it at night, remember that?"

Frowning, Anko gave a cold snort at Yang Xing's retreating figure.

Yang Xing really wanted to do something naughty with the cute Little Anko, but he had things to do in the morning.

Engaging in strenuous exercise can clearly hinder what you're trying to do.

So Yang Xing, suppressing his anger, quickly left home.

"Calm down, calm down. I still have Kurenai Yuhi waiting for me. I can't let that scoundrel Asuma get there first." Yang Xing muttered to himself as he clenched his fists and jumped between rooftops.

The sun was high in the sky, nearing noon.

A temporary C-rank mission in Konoha: Help nearby villagers get rid of pests in their farmland.

For Yang Xing, accepting such a C-level mission was impossible, and if the Fourth Hokage found out, they would never let Yang Xing do it. Yang Xing's abilities were more than enough to complete various S-level missions.

Doing these C-rank missions for low-level ninjas is simply a waste of their potential.

However, since this was Yang Xing's own choice, no one could stop him.

The reason for this is quite simple: Kurenai Yuhi's team can only complete this kind of mission. In order to join Kurenai Yuhi's team, Yang Xing can only hide his strength and work alongside them.

And try to find an opportunity to curry favor with this mature woman and get closer to her.

Yang Xing admired his own plan; it was perfect. Of course, if that one damn jerk had been removed, it would have been an absolutely perfect and brilliant plan.

"Hey, why are you following us?" Asuma turned around, glaring at the guy who was giving him a hard time. "You're really annoying."

"I told you, I'm not with you, I'm..."

"I know, it's all for fame. What's so good about fame? A brat is still a brat."

Yang Xing almost used a Fire Style to shut it up forever.

"Alright, Yang Xing is just trying to help out of kindness. The Fourth Hokage also instructed everyone to get along well." Sanada Sarutobi, the chubby guy, had a wry smile on his face. Being a substitute teacher was really tough for him.

Upon hearing Sanada Sarutobi's words, Asuma curled his lip, his expression still showing displeasure. "Tch, sending a brat to help? I bet he'll only make things worse. This guy probably can't even cast a Ninjutsu."

"Asuma, Yang Xing is..."

Sanada Sarutobi was about to emphasize Yang Xing's identity when Yang Xing interrupted him, saying, "The mission destination is over there, right? That little village, isn't it?"

The interrupted Jonin at Yang Xing and felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the cold gaze Yang Xing was casting at him. He forced a smile and immediately suppressed all the words he wanted to say.

Unfortunately Sanada Sarutobi didn't say anything, but Asuma continued with a disdainful look, "The Fourth Hokage's disciple, huh? Pshaw, he's just a guy who became famous because of his master. What abilities does he have?"

"Asuma, don't say that." Hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't help but speak up for Yang Xing: "Yang Xing is a few years younger than us, maybe in a few years he'll be much more capable than you."

Sister Kurenai Yuhi, you don't need to wait a few years. He has already reached a level that Asuma could never achieve in his entire life.

Yang Xing, who didn't want to explain further, simply listened silently, too lazy to waste his breath.

His only goal is to pick up girls; nothing else matters to him.

"Alright, we're here, this is the place."

The group didn't have time to chat much, as they had already arrived at their destination, a small village.

The village elder, who had been waiting for a long time, welcomed them with a smile, "Oh dear, you've arrived so quickly. I'm counting on you for today's task."

Leave it to me.

"Asuma, it's good that you're energetic, but you don't even know the general outline of the mission yet, so don't talk big."

"Haha, this young man is not bad either." The village elder chuckled a few times, his face kind as he addressed the crowd, "Actually, it's nothing serious. It's just that some harmful insects have appeared in the vicinity of the village, ruining half of the villagers' crops. Although we want to eradicate the insects, unfortunately, we don't have enough manpower here. This time, we've asked the Konoha ninja for help."

After explaining these things, Sanada Sarutobi went to fetch some pesticides. "Alright everyone, here are some pesticides. Spread them in the village's fields separately, don't go too far."

"Hi."

The task was indeed very simple, Asuma, who agreed, looked listless and dejected.

Yang Xing, on the other hand, watched from the sidelines as if nothing was wrong. After all, he had only come along, and Sanada Sarutobi didn't dare to actually give him a task.

As a result, Yang Xing was quite idle from the very beginning.

The task of spraying pesticides was simple; the destination was within a mile radius, posing no threat whatsoever.

This led Asuma to constantly complain, "It's always these kinds of tasks for brats. Doing this kind of thing all day long will never make us stronger. Besides, this is Third Shinobi World War; we should be doing bigger things."

Kurenai Yuhi frowned, her expression serious. "Asuma, even the Lord Third is having a terrible time with the Third Shinobi World War. Our strength is insufficient."

"It's you who's incapable, not me." Asuma glared at Kurenai Yuhi, put his hands behind his head, and said with an air of arrogance, "I'm going to become a top-tier Chunin."

"Then why couldn't you make a move when even that Jonin didn't yesterday?"

"You're so long-winded! It was just an accident, nothing more."
