Konoha 28 years.
February 1st.
One o'clock in the afternoon.
whoosh--
whoosh--
whoosh--
A series of whooshing sounds filled the air.
With the aid of Chakra, the group formed a flying goose formation.
They were speeding through the dense forest!
Looking towards the distant place where shadows could already be seen, Uka Senju continued to move forward, using tree branches as a stepping stone.
No longer conserving Chakra, a genuine smile appeared on his face!
moment.
"Bang*5"
The sound of footsteps hitting the ground rang out, and the four people and one dog stopped in front of the gate of the village hidden in the forest.
Looking at the endless wooden walls, the two green gates, and the symbol of Konoha Ninja Village above the gate.
The smiles on the faces of Uka Senju, Inuzuka Furin, and Aburame Kaun.
Beyond happiness, the words 'relaxed' and 'at ease' also come to mind!
From the left side of the door, one can hear noises outside.
Through the small window in the door, I could clearly see who was outside.
The Young Man Ninja in Combat Uniform opened the left-hand gate before they could even speak.
" Lady Tsukika, the three of you, welcome home!"
After bowing to Senju Tsukika was at the head of the group, Chao Zhu.
He smiled as he looked at the three children behind Lady Tsukika.
He nodded and accepted the gift from the younger member of the clan.
Senju Tsukika strode straight into the doorway.
After responding to the greeting clansmen with a big smile, Uka Senju and her two teammates pulled out their identification from their Ninja Tool Pouch and handed it over.
After waiting for them to finish registering according to the procedure, the three people and the dog followed in the direction the teacher had gone.
I walked forward in the middle of the street, weaving through the crowds who were making way for me.
Konoha looked even more prosperous than it had been a month ago.
Aburame Kaun, leaned close to her two friends and whispered, "You said we were gone for a month this time, how long will the teachers let us rest?"
"It will take at least seven or eight days!" Uka Senju thought for a moment before answering the question.
They were almost constantly on the go during the month they were away.
The first few tasks were relatively easy; I only had to deal with one during the day, and I could get a good rest at night.
But since going to the Land of Rivers, I have to deal with other situations while handling missions during the day.
Even at night, it's not always a good night's sleep; someone has to keep watch and be vigilant.
After a month of this, there was a significant improvement and a large amount of energy collected.
However, the mental pressure on them is still immense.
So it would take at least seven or eight days!
"It should take about half a month," Inuzuka Furin, accompanied by her Ninja Dog, guessed beside the two.
Besides sharing the same reasons as Uka, she felt that the teachers should have given them some time to process things.
Otherwise, with such a high intensity, there won't be any time to learn new things or summarize experiences!
We can't keep summarizing and adjusting our strategies all the time, can we?
Hearing her two friends' answers, Aburame Kaun pursed her lips somewhat unwillingly.
Both of them answered his question.
But the time allotted for speaking was far too short, wasn't it?
How could such an intense month be possible in such a short time!
Seeing Kaun's reaction, I guessed what he was thinking.
Uka Senju chuckled and added insult to injury, "Aren't you satisfied with what we said?"
"What if it doesn't even take seven or eight days like I said? Wouldn't you be devastated?"
Just when I thought the two of them weren't talking much, I heard my friend say this.
This immediately reminded Aburame Kaun.
Their teacher is not a kind person.
Thinking about the possibility of Uka's scenario actually occurring, he subconsciously shook his head!
If it hasn't been seven or eight days, then what's the difference between this village renovation and not having rested at all?
"Stop talking, stop talking, let's go!"
I hope your bad luck doesn't come true!
"I just want to get a few good nights of sleep at home without having to worry!"
As he spoke, he quickened his pace to catch up with the teacher's retreating figure.
How long and how much rest you should take will be known once you've completed the task.
It's best not to guess anymore.
To avoid getting more and more suspicious, which will only make your heart grow colder!
They quickened their pace, and the three of them and the dog caught up with their teacher before entering the Mission Center.
Looking at this building, which is not far from the Hokage Building, it is considered the third largest visible building in Konoha.
Uka Senju and her two companions were also filled with curiosity.
They had heard about this place since they were children.
But after becoming Ninja and doing so many jobs, this is truly the first time I've ever been here!
So, watching the Ninja and ordinary people coming and going...
As they followed closely behind their teacher, their eyes darted around, taking in the places this Ninja frequented.
Walk up the steps and enter through the two large red doors.
The first thing that catches the eye is a large hall composed of natural wood tones and red.
The hall was divided into two parts, left and right.
Based on observation, the main function of the right side is to receive tasks.
Those who went there were all clients dressed in various styles.
Besides the numerous rest and waiting areas, there were other places over there.
It's a long wooden counter with six sections for receiving tasks.
Four of the counters were partitioned off with wooden planks to resemble small huts.
He had never experienced or knew about the sound insulation effect of this type of wooden board.
However, this setup will certainly protect the employer's and the specific information about the task.
The area on the left is for the Ninja; almost everyone who goes there is dressed in combat gear to hand over their missions.
Like the one on the right, there are six counters here as well.
But what's different here is that the counters aren't partitioned.
Only at the very top of the counter are there six large signs distinguishing the functions!
Based on the labels, the task acceptance levels here are only A to D.
Among them, the most common C and B are each occupied by two different positions in the middle.
A and D each have only one element, one at the beginning and one at the end.
Seeing that it was something everyone could understand, Uka Senju suddenly wondered how they were going to complete the mission this time.
It seems like their tasks for this month range from C to A!
Should we go and teach them one by one like ordinary Ninja?
Or would you use some special privileges to directly choose the Senju window for communication?
But from his observation just now, the people sitting and working at those six counters didn't seem to be from the Clan.
Although he didn't have the ability to memorize the appearances of all the Clan members.
However, members of the Clan generally wear clothes and accessories with the family crest.
The clan emblem not only signifies identity but also serves as a deterrent to those with less pure intentions.
Just like in Konoha now, due to the continuous surge in population year after year.
Those refugees come from all walks of life.
Therefore, their first lesson upon arriving in Konoha was to understand the meaning of various symbols.
After all, there are ordinary people within the Shinobi Clan.
To prevent any unforeseen issues from occurring, this course was made mandatory for newcomers during the initial expansion!
None of the people behind the counters wore badges.
It can't be said that Konoha now has a unified uniform, can it?
