Mission Killer
"Shisui, it uses its tail to maintain its balance!" Koki shouted a reminder.
"I see."
"Furthermore, its whiskers enhance spatial awareness," Koki continued, shouting loudly.
"Understood!" Shisui immediately understood Koki's intention.
He calmly and Kunai in all directions, each one whistling as it flew through the air.
"Where are you throwing it?" the Ninja Cat mocked, stopping in his tracks with a smug look on his face. "Not bad at throwing Kunai, but still a long way off."
"Ah, is that so?" Shisui's eyes revealed a confident and assured air.
Before the words were even finished, three Kunai fell from the roof. Two of them precisely cut off the Ninja Cat's whiskers, while the other slammed into its head.
The Ninja Cat was completely caught off guard by Shisui's move. Before it could react, it was knocked Kunai and fell straight down.
Koki was already waiting. He quickly reached out and caught the falling Ninja Cat steadily. Looking at the unconscious cat in his arms, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the two of them.
"Done!"
Holding the Ninja Cat in her arms, Koki, along with Shisui and Hayate, quickly handed the Ninja Cat over to Granny Cat Granny. Cat Granny, looking at her beloved cat who had been lost and found again, smiled broadly and expressed her deep gratitude to Koki and the others.
After completing the mission, Koki couldn't wait to return to where she had come from.
There, Minato Namikaze was immersed in the world of cats, playing and frolicking with a group of adorable felines. His gentle smile and relaxed demeanor made it seem as if he had transformed into a cute big cat himself.
The return of the three surprised Minato, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes. "They completed the mission so quickly?"
Many teams were at a loss when it came to this task. Minato originally estimated Koki it would take Mitsuki and the others at least a day to find the Ninja Cat, but they returned so quickly.
"Yeah." Koki said casually, without a trace of fatigue in her eyes, as if what they had accomplished was nothing more than an easy game.
"By the way, Minato-sensei, how many D-rank missions are there in total?" Koki suddenly asked.
"... That is a problem."
Minato's mind flashed to the two thick booklets in the staff member's hands, and he replied, "There should be two or three hundred, why are you asking?"
Koki estimated in his mind that there were several hundred. He figured that if they did six or seven tasks a day, they could finish all the D-level tasks in about a month. Hehe, he felt that they were fully capable of completing all the D-level tasks within a month.
"Teacher, please assign all the tasks tomorrow. Prioritize the more urgent ones, and let's try to finish them within a month!"
"Huh?!" Minato looked at the calm young man in front of him and fell silent. Completing all the D-rank missions within a month was simply an impossible task.
"Alright, since you're so determined, I'll trust you. Tomorrow I'll collect all the D-rank missions, but you must be careful and not take any unnecessary risks."
To many ninjas, D-Rank Mission are nothing more than trivial matters, just like how Naruto was anxious when he first started carrying out these missions. But for Koki, this was exactly what he wanted.
First, these Class D missions are indeed not life-threatening, and in most cases, they do not require combat or frequent life-or-death situations. Moreover, these missions offer rewards of up to tens of thousands of vehicles.
Secondly, Koki has a particularly good relationship with the elders of Konoha, which becomes a major advantage when carrying out tasks such as finding things. The elders are always happy to provide him with various clues and help, allowing Koki and his companions to complete the tasks with ease.
Finally, and most importantly, carrying out these D-rank missions allows him to spend time with his adorable younger brother, and for Itachi, it's the same; as long as he can be with his older brother, he's content with anything he does.
That's killing three birds with one stone!
Koki was initially worried that Shisui and Gekko Hayate might find these missions boring.
However, Shisui said that he would do anything as long as he was with Koki.
Gekko Hayate had no objections and silently supported Koki's decision.
D-rank missions are often looked down upon by most ninjas. Not only are the rewards low, but they are also extremely troublesome, making many ninjas reluctant to take them on.
They crave high-level missions that are full of excitement and challenges, and yearn to demonstrate their strength in fierce battles and reap rich rewards.
Many ninjas would rather brave mountains of knives and seas of fire, facing powerful enemies and perilous situations, than hold a crying baby in their arms. The piercing cries seem to penetrate eardrums, causing annoyance and making one feel irritable; it is simply torture.
In the bustling streets, they were unwilling to search for their lost puppy in full view of everyone; the embarrassment and helplessness were like thorns in their backs, unbearable.
Other tasks, such as doing farm work in the fields and killing wild boars, were simply not of interest to ninjas who sought glory and excitement.
However, for the Team Koki, these D-rank missions were a piece of cake.
Koki, Shisui, and Hayate each have their own strengths, and their division of labor and cooperation are extremely efficient.
Koki stands out with her keen insight and decisive decision-making; Shisui follows closely behind with her calm and powerful strength; Hayate's swordsmanship and Transparent Release skills also play an indispensable role in the mission.
Furthermore, Shisui and Koki can even use the Shadow Clone Technique, allowing them to cultivate themselves while carrying out missions.
They accepted all comers, and no matter how difficult the task, he could complete it perfectly with his wisdom and courage.
In the past month or two, Koki and his team have managed to resolve most of the backlog of D-level missions.
Their hard work and dedication earned them 100% praise from the client!
Every client who saw the mission successfully completed praised the Team Koki.
The news spread quickly throughout Konoha, leaving everyone amazed and incredulous that a newly formed Genin squad could complete so many D-rank missions so efficiently. Even the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, heard about it.
However, all of this seemed to have nothing to do with Koki. At this moment, he was carrying the sleeping Itachi on his back and chatting with Shisui as they walked home.
Itachi's small body leaned against Koki's back, sleeping soundly.
"I wonder if Obito and Kakashi will be able to come back today."
"Yes, I hope they return safely."
"What should we eat today? How about a mini hot pot?"
"Great, that sounds good."
