A-rank Missions Are Too Easy
In the blink of an eye, another three days passed, and Konoha was once again in an uproar. All the villagers were celebrating in the streets, cheering and jumping for joy.
Large numbers of Konoha Ninja were also celebrating in the streets, because at this time, the Land of Fire had completely become Konoha's territory. The Fifth Hokage Uchiha Qingcheng, was also serving as the Flame Blaze Emperor of the Land of Fire, and was even the First Blaze Emperor.
A massive parade of villagers took to the streets to celebrate Konoha's takeover of the Land of Fire. The scene was incredibly grand and spectacular, with an unprecedented number of villagers participating in the parade, reaching a staggering 800,000.
A large group of Konoha Ninja, waving red flags, were there cheering and celebrating.
Another group of villagers held up banners that read, "Congratulations to the First Blaze Emperor for ruling the entire Land of Fire and expanding the territory of Konoha!"
Expanding territory has always been the wish of the Konoha. Now, the entire Land of Fire, with its thirteen major cities, is under Konoha's control. For all the villagers, Land of Fire is like coming home. How could they not be happy about such a thing?
Qingcheng's reputation had already reached its peak, and it was from one peak that it reached another.
These villagers, who had paraded through the streets to cheer, shouted loudly.
Long live Blaze Emperor! Long live the Fifth Hokage! Long live Konoha! Long live the Hokage!
A large group of Police Force personnel were also in the parade, but they were all carrying large speakers that were playing the Konoha Battle Song.
Thump, thump thump thump, thump, thump thump thump, lulu lulu, lulu lulu, du du du,"
The intense music invigorated the Konoha, and their shouts grew even louder, filling the entire Konoha with cheers and jubilation.
The inauguration ceremony for the Land of Fire has been completed, and even Kakashi has returned to Konoha from the Land of Fire.
Upon returning, Kakashi was taken aback by the spectacular sight before him, and said rather awkwardly:
"It seems I've come at the wrong time. I need to go back to the Land of Fire. I don't want to join these parades and cheering crowds, especially since I just finished my inauguration ceremony."
After saying that, Kakashi prepared to leave, but a group of villagers immediately surrounded him and gave Kakashi a small red flag.
Some villagers even shouted directly at Kakashi, "Come on, Assistant Hokage! We're celebrating the grand ceremony of the First Blaze Emperor!"
Kakashi, looking at the villagers who couldn't refuse his hospitality, said awkwardly:
"But I just participated in a parade in the Land of Fire. If I do it again, I'll have done it twice. Could you give me a little break?"
Caught off guard, Kakashi was pulled into the parade by a group of villagers, who gave Kakashi several small red flags to wave around.
Just then, Might Guy Kai laughed heartily, looking extremely excited, and shouted out:
"Kakashi has also joined the parade to cheer on the Hokage. He truly is my formidable rival. Let's have a contest to see who can cheer for the Hokage the loudest. This is our twenty-ninth match, and I'm sure I can defeat you!"
Kakashi, seeing Might Guy's imposing figure, was filled with surprise, his deadpan eyes widening in embarrassment. Might Guy simply shook his head and said:
"Might Guy, you're here too? Can I not compete? This isn't good."
When Might Guy heard Kakashi reject him, he immediately gave a thumbs up and said excitedly:
"Of course I'm not alone here. I brought a few disciples with me to cheer on the Fifth Hokage, hahaha,"
Rock Lee, Tenten, and Neji all peeked out from behind Guy, their round heads peeking out. The three main characters looked excited and called out to Kakashi, "Assistant Hokage, long time no see! Hehehe!"
Only Neji's expression was somewhat normal; he simply smiled slightly and greeted respectfully, "Good afternoon, Assistant Hokage."
Kakashi watched Neji others parading and cheering, then smiled and said very seriously:
"You guys graduated last year, and you've been doing missions these past few days. How does it feel to become Genin? Is it tough?"
Upon hearing Kakashi's question, Rock Lee replied respectfully:
"Kakashi-sensei, we didn't have to work hard at all. Those C-rank Mission, B-rank Mission, and A-rank Missions were so easy! Tomorrow, Guy-sensei is going to take us on S-rank Mission."
Kakashi was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and said very seriously, "Can Genin take on S-rank Missions? Isn't A-rank Mission?"
Might Guy looked at Kakashi, who had a questioning expression on his face, and laughed heartily, saying excitedly:
"Genin can't do S-rank Missions, of course, but I'm a Jonin from Konoha. As long as it's not SS-rank Mission, I can take it. Besides, S-rank Missions aren't dangerous at all. At most, I'll encounter a few rogue Jonin on the way."
Kakashi looked at Might Guy, who seemed so confident, and thought to himself:
"No wonder Konoha always has the highest mission quotas in the Shinobi World. Some employers would rather go out alone to deal with bandits than post missions in Konoha, for fear of turning it into an A-rank Mission. If they encounter some wandering ninjas, it might even become S-rank Mission."
Kaka also began to admire Qingcheng, who seized upon those employers and relentlessly exploited them, squeezing them dry.
Just then, Tenten said with a smile, "Kakashi-sensei, I'd like to buy a Chunin rank. The Chunin Ninja Exams are just too troublesome. I wonder if this is legal?"
Kakashi shook his head and said with a smile, "I never use back channels. You've come to the wrong person."
Neji said directly to Tenten, "If you want to get special treatment, you should go to Minister Zhang. Their Police Force is known as the 'know-it-all' of Konoha. As long as you're willing to spend money, they can even get you an Elite Jonin from Konoha."
Tenten was a little rich girl, and hearing that money could solve her problems, her face lit up with a smile.
Tenten said excitedly, "That's great! I really don't want to take the Chunin Ninja Exams. Taking them in that dirty and chaotic environment is disgusting, and having to fight against people from other ninja villages is just too much trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi thought to himself, "Shouhon Yihan is simply too reckless. How can she cheat on something like this? Isn't she just deceiving people?"
