Especially the previous battle where Team 7 was established.
Let Sakura realize that, not to mention compared to Kakashi-sensei, compared to Naruto and Sasuke, he is just like a drag in the team. Of course, even the most rubbish Genin, It can also complete the vast majority of C-level missions, not for any reason, just because Ninja is Ninja after all, and cannot be compared to ordinary people. Most of the C-level missions only encounter ordinary people. C-level missions that can encounter wandering Ninja are all It is the most difficult C-level mission. Therefore, even Sakura can normally kill many thieves, robbers and similar beings in an instant, but this is only theoretical. (After all, there are reasons such as whether you have combat experience, poor mentality, etc. Strength is strength, whether it can be used is another matter. Well, throughout the decades since the establishment of Five Great Shinobi Villages, there are many examples of Genin being killed by ordinary people. These are all representatives of poor mentality and tolerance. When you see a bloody scene in the first battle, your mind will go blank, and you will even freeze on the spot and be killed.)
Just as there are theories, there are also practical examples.
Sakura Haruno is an existence that is almost like a flower growing in a greenhouse, and is weaker than ordinary flowers. C-level tasks may be a bit reluctant. Fortunately, Sakura Haruno himself has such a self-consciousness, almost Just when Third Hokage finished speaking, he corrected his mentality. But Sakura Haruno didn't know that this special C-level mission was a mission that Naruto was determined to win!
"That's right, you have to remember everything Naruto! Lord Hokage said! Understand your position now, do you understand!?"
Iruka on the side also followed Third Hokage's words and looked at Naruto with a very serious expression.
"Yes, I understand, Iruka-sensei, but we are no longer the children in the Ninja Academy. Iruka-sensei, I think our team is fully capable of receiving C-level tasks. D-level tasks no longer mean much to us. If the chicks If it had been hiding in the bird's nest, it would never be able to soar into the sky, right? Third-generation grandfather! Besides, as far as I know, Kakashi-sensei seems to have graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of five or six, right? And when he was the same age as us, he was already Jonin!"
Naruto looked at Third Hokage and Iruka in front of him with a very serious expression. At the last sentence, he turned his head, looked at Kakashi behind him, blinked his eyes, and said with a chuckle.
And the words of Naruto.
It also made Sakura and Sasuke on the side each show expressions of varying degrees of surprise.
12-year-old Jonin?
Graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of five or six?
This?
Sasuke was staring at Kakashi in front of him with a very surprised light in his pupils at this moment.
Even Kakashi couldn't help showing a look of surprise.
"This kid..."
Kakashi shook his head a little funny, it really can be compared with a reference object.
"Baby bird? Soaring in the sky?"
Third Hokage sat in his seat, his slightly cloudy eyes seemed to become extremely clear at this moment. Looking at Naruto in front of him, Third Hokage couldn't help but think of that golden figure in the depths of his mind, with a fleeting expression of emotion and reminiscence, and his eyes also became extremely deep at this moment.
"Minato, your child has grown up and will definitely become as outstanding as you Konoha Ninja in the future."
The same smile, the same confidence, the same golden figure.
At this moment.
Deep in Third Hokage's heart, the figures of Fourth Hokage--Namikaze Minato couldn't help but emerge.
"Is that so? Okay, I understand your understanding, Naruto, but after all, you are not the only one to receive the mission. Your team is a whole, so I also need to ask the opinions of the other two people in your team. Do you two also think that your team's strength is enough to receive the C-level mission?"
Third Hokage first nodded to Naruto, then turned his attention to Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha, and asked softly in a gentle tone with a hint of sternness.
"Yes!"
Before Sakura was still a little confused and wanted to answer no.
Sasuke on the side answered Third Hokage with capable and decisive words. That extremely affirmative tone, as well as the faint sense of expectation and excitement, made Sakura on the side feel helpless. He nodded and agreed. After all, the two members of his team, especially his most beloved Sasuke, had expressed their intention to accept the C-level mission. Even though he was a little refused and unwilling in his heart, Sakura could only hold his nose and agree.
"Fortunately, Kakashi-sensei is still here, there shouldn't be any problems with a C-level mission..."
Although I was still a little uneasy, when I saw Hatake Kakashi beside me.
Sakura's inner uneasiness was mostly eliminated.
In the opinion of Sakura.
A low-level task that only Genin can perform.
With Jonin like Kakashi here, there shouldn't be any accidents.
"I see, well, you have indeed shown me your consciousness. In this case, I will give you a special C-level mission."
Looking at the three young subordinates in front of him.
Third Hokage After pondering for a while, he nodded slightly and said this with a more serious expression on his face.
"Lord Hokage..."
And before Third Hokage could finish speaking.
Iruka on the side showed an anxious look, stood up and said quickly.
From the perspective of Iruka, whether Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, or a group of children who stayed in the previous learning period of the Ninja Academy, it is completely different from D-level tasks. C-level tasks are to a large extent bloody, including but not limited to protecting the caravan (only Encounter bandits), wipe out bandits, or clean up the underworld or even wipe out the wandering Ninja who wander around the border and other border areas causing trouble (note that they are the kind of wandering Ninja who deliberately cause trouble or even destroy local production, otherwise, the Shinobu Village will basically turn a blind eye to these wandering Ninja.)
Of course, exterminating the wandering Ninja is almost the most difficult C-level mission. Iruka knows that Third Hokage will definitely not give it to him, but even so, even if it is given to other slightly easier C-level missions, it will not work.
Because in most cases, C-level missions require bloodshed!
Even murder is a very common result.
Let Genin, who has just graduated a few days ago, participate in such a task?
Iruka thinks it is very inappropriate.
At this time, Iruka completely forgot, or subjectively ignored that Naruto had already seen blood on the day of graduation, and almost single-handedly killed a Chunin.
