Team 7, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Hinata Hyuga, along with their instructor Kakashi Hatake, has been carrying out incredibly childish missions every Tenten lately.
"Ugh, I can't take it anymore! Why would someone post a task for us to do homework?"
He had been writing about Sasuke all morning when he angrily threw down his pen. He had had enough and couldn't write anymore.
"I've had enough, I've had enough! I can't take this stupid quest anymore. Why risk my life for a quest that only costs a little over a hundred taels?"
"Stop writing, everyone stop writing, let's go eat."
Sasuke put down his pen and immediately reached out to pull Naruto, but he used too much force and Naruto exploded into smoke.
"Damn, Shadow Clone, I should have known sooner."
" Hinata, let's stop writing and go eat."
"I'm sorry, Sasuke-kun."
Seeing Hinata covering her mouth and snickering, Sasuke knew things were about to go wrong.
" Sasuke-kun, Naruto's calling me. We're at Ichiraku Ramen..."
Hinata hadn't finished speaking when she exploded into a cloud of smoke and disappeared, leaving Sasuke alone in the hut.
At this moment, the child who issued the task walked in. Seeing that Sasuke was the only one there, he was somewhat unhappy, especially when he saw that Sasuke wasn't doing any work.
"Hmph, hurry up and write, or you're not allowed to eat."
Sasuke, who originally wanted to leave, is now completely unable to escape.
"A friendship of three is too crowded; I never imagined I'd be the one being ostracized."
Sasuke of tears, feeling as if he had been betrayed.
At this moment, Naruto and Hinata were sitting in their chairs at Ichiraku Ramen, waiting for Sasuke.
"Hasn't he arrived yet?"
Naruto looked at Hinata with some confusion.
"I don't know, I just told Sasuke-kun."
"Let's eat first and then take it back to him."
It turns out that the moment Naruto sensed his Shadow Clone disappearing, he gave Hinata's Shadow Clone a look, telling her to tell Sasuke to come to Ichiraku Ramen before she left.
When the two of them found Sasuke with the takeout ramen, they saw that Sasuke had gone mad.
"Hey, Uchiha Sasuke, stop writing and eat something."
Sasuke almost cried as he took the ramen Naruto handed him. Had these two really just abandoned him to go out for dinner?
Another afternoon passed before the three of them finally managed to complete their task.
" Naruto, I can't take it anymore! I've really had enough of these missions! When will this suffering ever end?"
Hearing Sasuke's complaints, Naruto said there was nothing he could do; he wasn't Hiruzen Sarutobi, and he couldn't give him missions or anything.
Unbeknownst to them, in the Hokage's office at that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was handing Kakashi a mission briefing.
"Look at that, Kakashi."
Kakashi took the mission briefing from Hiruzen Sarutobi with a puzzled look, glanced at it briefly, and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi uncertainly.
" Lord Hokage, is this really alright? This doesn't seem to be a C-rank mission, does it?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe and spoke calmly.
"I think there will be no problem with this mission; your team is capable of handling it."
Kakashi wanted to say something more.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted him directly, not giving Kakashi a chance to continue speaking.
"Don't worry, I believe in your team, and I believe in you. You can definitely handle it."
Kakashi was speechless upon hearing this. Did they really think that highly of him?
Kakashi didn't know how he got back. When he told his subordinates about the mission, there were no cries of agony as he had expected, only Sasuke's frantic voice.
"Haha, so it's finally time to take on other missions?"
"Let me see, let me see!" Sasuke snatched the mission list from Kakashi's hand, and after reading it, he excitedly exclaimed, "Wow, it's a C-rank mission! I knew it! This is the kind of mission I, Sasuke Uchiha, should be taking, not some childish ninja game of catching cats and dogs or doing homework."
"Hahaha."
After Sasuke tossed the mission sheet to Naruto, he covered his eyes with one hand and laughed maniacally, looking incredibly arrogant and insane.
Kakashi, looking at Sasuke like this, asked with some concern:
"Is he alright?"
"Oh, it's nothing serious. I've just gone crazy from doing those D-rank missions."
Kakashi could only sigh helplessly as he watched Sasuke gradually go mad. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing for them to accept this mission, especially since Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't given him a chance to refuse.
"Alright, are you really sure you want to carry out this mission? Giving up is fine too."
Sasuke immediately bristled upon hearing Kakashi's words.
"No, we have to accept it. If we don't accept this mission, who knows when we'll get another C-level mission?"
"And you? Do you also agree to carry out this mission?"
Hinata glanced at Naruto, and seeing him nod, she nodded frantically in agreement to the mission.
"Alright, fine. We'll meet at the Hokage's office tomorrow morning."
Unbeknownst to Kakashi, shortly after he left the Hokage's office, a figure whom no one had seen for a long time appeared before Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the newcomer with some surprise.
" Danzo, what brings you here?"
The newcomer removed his hood, revealing his true face.
"Hmph, aren't you going to welcome this old man, Monkey?"
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and looked at him, not understanding what he meant.
" Monkey, I heard you've decided to Jinchūriki out of the village?"
"How?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe and glanced Danzo.
"Hmph, you Monkey, how dare you! Do you know how many eyes are watching the Jinchūriki right now? You're knowingly committing a crime."
But Danzo Hiruzen Sarutobi's words and simply looked at him calmly.
Just as Danzo was about to continue his attack, Hiruzen Sarutobi shut him up with a single sentence.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and carefully observed Danzo.
" Danzo, what happened to your arm? Did you get another Sharingan?"
Danzo immediately shut his mouth, covered my arm, and took several steps back, distancing himself from Hiruzen Sarutobi.
" Monkey, what are you doing?"
"I didn't use my Sharingan this time."
"This old man's arm has grown back."
Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi probably felt that he had something to Danzo.
You only used one basic attack, and you used all your ultimate abilities?
"You'd better not have one. Alright, if you're fine, just leave now and don't let anyone see you."
"Hmph, this old man..."
Danzo was about to speak when he noticed Hiruzen Sarutobi's gaze fixed on his right arm. Startled, he covered his arm and slammed the door shut as he left.
"Hmph, I'm leaving now. Sit down there, Monkey, no need to see me off. Besides, you'll regret this."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips twitched. Danzo taken some kind of gunpowder today?
However, she still played along, calling out to his departing figure, "Don't forget, I am the Hokage."
In a secluded corner where no one was watching, Danzo pulled up his hood. Just before the shadows fell over his face, a faint smile could be seen playing on his lips.
