Minato Namikaze watched in surprise as Hyuga Iwa jumped from the window of the Hokage Tower, then swiftly ran over to him.
"Minato-sensei, I can go now. Here, this is Team 7's mission document, and this one is Team 13's. Hehe, the Hokage agreed to let us go together."
After handing the mission document to Minato Namikaze, Hyuga Iwa waved the other one in his hand, looking thoroughly pleased with himself.
Minato Namikaze opened the mission document and checked it over. He had no doubts.
He said helplessly, "All right. In that case, we probably can't leave today. Let's gather at the village entrance at eight tomorrow morning, then set off together. How does that sound?"
"Okay, then I'll be going. I need to tell Guy and the others the good news. Hehe, come to think of it, we've never done a B-rank mission before. This is our first time. Hongye and Guy should be satisfied this time, right?"
Minato Namikaze laughed. He had heard that Team 13 had completed the fewest missions of any team, and their missions had also been the least difficult. Many people claimed that Team 13 lacked the strength to complete high-difficulty missions, but Minato knew that wasn't the truth.
Minato had learned from Kakashi Hatake long ago that Hyuga Iwa and Guy were no weaker than him. They also had an Uchiha Clan member, and no matter how weak she might be, she could not possibly be that weak.
Minato knew very clearly that, in terms of the combined strength of the two teams, Hyuga Iwa's team might actually be stronger.
With such strength, how could they possibly fail to complete high-rank missions?
It was simply because the Hokage had never assigned them such missions!
