""The Adventures of Princess Gale"?"
Naruto Sasuke Hinata The three of them looked at the stack of videotapes Kakashi had thrust into them and looked at each other.
Kakashi later explained, "The goal of this mission is to protect the actress who plays the heroine of the "The Adventures of Princess Gale" series of movies and go to Land of Snow to complete the filming. This commission was a long time ago, but it has been delayed for some reasons...
Also, the client is not in our village right now and has to travel for a while starting tomorrow. I can use this time today to watch this video and learn about the other party's information."
"At six o'clock tomorrow morning, we will gather at the head of the village to prepare for departure."
After saying that, Kakashi and Body Flicker Technique disappeared in front of them. Their movements were agile, but there was no sign of injury at all.
Even the walking stick he used to pretend to be miserable didn't know where he had thrown it.
"How do I watch the video?" Naruto Monk Zhang Er was confused. He had never wandered around Training since he was a child. He had no idea about these relatively new entertainment methods, so he had to look at Hinata.
"Well, my family is relatively traditional and we don't have any contact with these things..." Hinata was also a little confused.
"Humph."
On the contrary, Sasuke just put these video tapes in his pocket, turned around and left, looking confident.
"Sasuke Do you have a video recorder at home?"
"How could I have that kind of thing!"
Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and turned his head. If it weren't for the ointment on his face, he wouldn't be cool at this moment.
"Kakashi didn't say it was a movie, so we can just go to the cinema and watch it."
"Doesn't that place cost a lot of money?"
Hinata's subconscious question made Naruto realize that something was wrong. Unfortunately, it was too late to interrupt, and Sasuke proudly puffed up his chest, took out a bulging money bag and waved it.
"This is the rent Naruto just paid. It's more than enough."
"Damn it..."
This was probably a rare moment when Naruto showed weakness and pain in front of Sasuke.
"Naruto-kun, let me ask you to take a look..." Hinata quickly took out his own small treasury to remedy.
"Thank you Hinata, I will pay you back when the task is completed and the reward comes!" Naruto moved Hinata's little hand, which obviously made the latter even happier.
[...I originally wanted to say that I would pay for it, but forget it, I'll book an extra venue myself when the time comes.]
Sasuke sighed inwardly, and then had no intention of disturbing the two of them in such an incomprehensible manner.
At this time, Kakashi on the other side has returned to Hokage Office, and Third Hokage is already waiting for him.
"Land of Snow, you have proposed to go back and investigate before. After all, when you were still at Anbu, you had already investigated and reported that there might be hidden forces there that could threaten Land of Fire's security."
Third Hokage slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and confirmed with Kakashi again.
"When the previous client found Konoha, you said that he concealed some dangerous situations about Land of Snow, so the village temporarily shelved the task based on your information. Now you take the initiative to find him, and he just accepts it?"
"Yes, after all, for a subjugated princess and attendants who have become homeless and need to take pictures to make money, they have no better choice. In fact, according to my guess, even if I don't take the initiative to find them, it is estimated that after a while at most, they will take the initiative to come to Shinobi Village again to issue tasks."
After hearing Kakashi's answer, Third was speechless, then stood up and patted his uninjured shoulder.
"You can arrange it however you want. I trust your judgment."
"Yes."
Since the last Kirigakure incident, Kakashi has been able to sense that Third Hokage has a very high level of trust in him.
Although I used to trust myself very much, but unlike this feeling, Kakashi even vaguely felt that no matter what I did, as long as it did not harm Konoha, Lord Hokage would fully support it.
Even if he proposed to hand over the A-Rank task to Naruto with an option, Third Hokage, who has always been conservative and abiding by the rules, would actually agree.
[It seems that Third Hokage has placed its expectations on someone on me.]
"One more thing, I will try my best to observe all the performances of Naruto Uzumaki during this mission, if..."
Kakashi hesitated for a moment, and then put forward his idea.
"If his performance meets expectations, I hope to specially promote him to Chunin. With his strength, as long as he performs well in actual combat, he has no reason to waste time in the Genin stage."
"..." Third was silent.
Waste of time, this word says it all.
As the earliest Kakashi in the village to advance to Chunin, he knows that only starting from Chunin will a Ninja have the opportunity to exercise his leadership and organizational skills.
Genin can graduate as long as he completes the basic Ninjutsu in school, but Chunin has to be born in the midst of assessments and competitions in full view of the public. The gap between the two and their importance to the village is self-evident.
Since Naruto wants to become Hokage who transcends everything, then Kakashi, who swore an oath in front of Memorial Stone, will help him embark on this path in the most reasonable way.
Today's Naruto is worthy of doing this!
But on the other hand, Kakashi and Third had the same idea in their hearts. They didn't know what Fourth Hokage left for Naruto that made him so outstanding.
If possible, it is best to regard it as Konoha's trump card and not expose it to others for the time being.
Of course, they never imagined that the most critical factor in this matter would be Nine-Tails.
"I will arrange this matter based on the report results of this mission."
After the words fell, Kakashi resigned.
"Even if it is the A-Rank mission, in your Kakashi judgment, is there no pressure on Naruto at this moment?"
Third raised his head from where he was and looked at the portraits of Hokage hanging next to Office. His eyes stayed on the photo of the handsome man Blond Hair for a long time.
"Minato, if it's really you, you would rather tell Hiashi all these years, but never appear in front of me. Are you still dissatisfied with me after all...?"
And two days later, in a village not far from Konoha.
"I refuse!"
The heroine who had not yet taken off her makeup was depicted in the filming, wearing a costume that was stained red with blood, and the expression on her beautiful face looked a bit scary.
Although her voice was a little childish, it had a determination and toughness that was irresistible.
Director, who was standing nearby waiting for the scene to end, frowned slightly after hearing this sentence.
"Didn't we agree to shoot the final battle scene first after this one? Why did you suddenly say that you want to go to Land of Snow to shoot first? I will never go to that place!"
"Miss Yukie Fujikaze, isn't this what your Manager and Director suggested? You agreed."
"My Manager?" Kazahana Koyuki, whose stage name is Yukie Fujikaze and plays the role of Princess Gale, looked surprised, "I didn't even hear what he said... Sandayu is someone else!"
Santarō Asama, also known as Manager of Kazahana Koyuki, a middle-aged man with glasses who looked a bit polite, was smiling at Naruto who came from Konoha to complete the escort mission.
"But I've been waiting for you to come, come on, come on, I'll tell you how to fool you next... No, convince my lady to go to Land of Snow."
