"Kakashi, you were on the battlefield when you were very young. What do you think? With Naruto's strength, can he go out of the village to do missions now?"
"This..."
Kakashi didn't expect that the decision-making power in this matter would fall on his own shoulders, and he was a little taken aback.
But he is Konoha's Elite Jōnin after all and has experienced many things.
He quickly regained his composure and bowed his head in thought.
"Okay..."
Kakashi thought for a while, turned his head, and stared at Naruto's face.
"It's not easy for a ninja to perform a mission."
"It's not like training. When you are in danger, the person training with you will stop, but the enemy will kill you by any means necessary."
"Sneak attacks, poison, overwhelming numbers, hostage-taking, etc., are all possible situations."
"As far as I know, Naruto, you have only entered the ninja school for less than three months, right?"
"Maybe you think you've learned a lot, but real combat is a whole lot different than what you learn in school."
Naruto nodded thoughtfully.
"To put it simply, you need to be strong enough to deal with all situations, right?"
"That's the truth."
"Then what kind of strength does Sensei Kakashi think is required to carry out a mission?"
Kakashi couldn't help but sigh, seeing Naruto seriously asking for information.
In his opinion, Naruto didn't understand his words at all!
After all, Naruto is an orphan.
And because of the Third Hokage's policy, he has never been exposed to any training since he was a child.
Kakashi is different.
His father is Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo, who is well-known in the ninja world.
Therefore, he received extremely professional training since he was a child.
This is one of the reasons why he was able to graduate from ninja school at the age of six.
Shaking his head slowly, Kakashi took out a bell from his pocket.
"Forget it, don't explain that much. Let's do a test."
"If you can snatch this bell from my hand, I will admit that you are qualified to perform the mission."
Kakashi was very confident.
With Naruto, who studied at the Ninja School for three months, it is absolutely impossible to snatch the bell from him...right?
However, the next second.
Swish!
A gust of wind passed by.
Kakashi only felt a chill in his hands.
He looked down.
The bell that was originally in his hand had disappeared.
Jingle Bell.
A crisp bell sounded.
Kakashi looked up quickly, his eyes wide in shock!
Because the bell that disappeared is now in Naruto's hands!!!
"????"
"This!?"
Kakashi was struck by lightning!
Stunned in place, it seemed that he hadn't recovered yet!
But Naruto showed a surprised expression.
"Is that all right, Sensei Kakashi?"
Kakashi was completely dumbfounded!
He never thought of it.
Naruto is so fast!
What kind of speed is this?
He didn't react at all!
The Third Hokage on the side also shook his hands in fright, and the ash fell on the table.
He never expected that Naruto's current speed is so fast!
He knew before that Naruto was practicing speed and dodging skills, but that was just training. Unexpectedly, he was faster than when he saw it before! Even Kakashi, no, even the Third Hokage didn't even see what was going on!
"Wait, that, the one just now doesn't count."
Kakashi came back to his senses, his face flushed slightly, but he waved his hands firmly and said.
"I wasn't ready just now, let's do it again."
This matter is not a joke; Kakashi must ensure that he was really robbed of the bell by Naruto, otherwise, it will be very dangerous if he misjudges his strength.
"Okay then."
Naruto handed the bell to Kakashi with a calm face.
Even to take care of Kakashi, he took three steps back to distance himself.
"Sensei Kakashi, are you ready?"
Kakashi held the bell and confirmed the weight of the bell.
He took a deep breath.
Then, he stared at Naruto intently, judging the direction he might rush towards.
"Come on, Naruto."
Kakashi said solemnly and seriously.
The next second.
Swish!
A strong wind blew past, Kakashi only saw a flash of golden afterimage, and then, his hands went numb.
Oops!
Kakashi thought something was wrong and immediately wanted to stop it, but Naruto's speed was too fast!
He couldn't react at all!
When he clenched his palms, the bell was gone.
Snatched by Naruto!
"This..."
The whole office fell into dead silence...
Kakashi, the Third Hokage, all opened their eyes wide in disbelief, staring at Naruto like they were seeing a ghost!
"This, how is this possible!?"
Looking at the bell in Naruto's hand, which was picked up as easily as grapes, Kakashi was shocked in his heart!
Although Kakashi was under the order of the Third Hokage, he did not take care of Naruto.
But he had been silently watching him.
So he knew very well that Naruto shouldn't have much strength.
But the speed shown by Naruto just now is really too fast!
Even his father, Namikaze Minato, known as the Yellow Flash, probably couldn't match this speed, right?
"Do you want to do it again, Sensei Kakashi?"
Naruto's innocent voice reached Kakashi's ears, making him pull back his thoughts.
Kakashi just felt dizzy for a while.
He had only been away from the village for a few months, but it seemed like he had been away for decades.
Naruto's changes are too great!
"Cough cough."
At this time, the Third Hokage stood up, suppressed the horror in his heart, and said aloud.
"No need."
"Since Naruto has snatched the bell, let him try it this time."
"Very good!"
Naruto raised his hands high in celebration.
"However, you are the first contact after all, so I will not choose a task that is too difficult."
"..."
The Third Hokage pondered and began to think about what kind of tasks are suitable for Naruto to handle.
Naruto's identity is sensitive after all.
If others discover his identity as a Jinchūriki, he will definitely be coveted by ninjas from other countries.
But if the difficulty is too low, I am afraid that with Naruto's personality, he will definitely not be satisfied.
At that time, he might have to give him a second, third, or even more.
That's troublesome.
"Don't worry, no matter what the task is, I will try my best to complete it."
Naruto patted his chest for assurance.
"Well, I believe you."
The Third Hokage nodded perfunctorily, then opened the drawer and took out the scroll.
After searching around in the quest scroll, the Third Hokage finally found a suitable quest.
"Well, that's it."
"It's moderately difficult and doesn't go very far."
As he spoke, he placed the mission scroll on the table.
Naruto stepped forward impatiently.
"Is this... a reconnaissance mission?"
Only the type of task is recorded above, and the specific content of the task needs to be opened to view the scroll.
"Yes."
The Third Hokage nodded, then looked at Kakashi:
"Kakashi, this time for Naruto's mission, I'm afraid I will trouble you. Only you can keep an eye on him."
"In addition to the two of you, there needs to be someone who can provide control."
"Let's have Kurenai Yuhi go with you."
The Third Hokage thought about it and decided on the candidate.
Kurenai Yuhi is good at illusion, and with Kakashi's offensive ability, she can be foolproof.
"Thank you, Grandpa Hokage, I will definitely not disappoint your trust and complete the task perfectly!"
Naruto showed a simple and happy smile on his face, which immediately touched the heartstrings of the Third Hokage.
What an honest and reliable boy.
He's just too serious sometimes.
"Okay then, if you decide to go out on a mission, you need to make various preliminary preparations."
"Kakashi, take Naruto to prepare some investigative tools."
Kakashi nodded and led Naruto out of the office.
But in his heart, he was very depressed.
What about the holidays?
What about my vacation?
You just returned to the village; why are you going out to do missions again now!
Sighing helplessly, Kakashi just felt that his luck was really bad today.
But...
Looking at the happy Naruto beside him, the depression in Kakashi's heart also eased a little.
Never mind.
Just take it as compensation for him.
Time flies by.
After a night of preparation, the next morning, the three members of the investigation team assembled at the gate of Konoha.
Naruto was the first to reach the gate.
Kurenai Yuhi also arrived early.
"Sensei Kakashi is really slow."
Naruto sighed helplessly.
How could he have forgotten this?
Kakashi is a notorious procrastinator.
As long as it is not an emergency, he will never appear early.
Finally.
They waited at the door for a full hour.
Kakashi arrived late after Naruto did push-ups at the door for an hour.
"Sensei Kakashi, you are too slow."
Naruto sat up and spoke righteously.
"If it is a time of war, a slow assembly speed like yours will kill people."
"I know, I know."
Kakashi waved his hand, with a nonchalant expression on his face.
On one side, Kurenai Yuhi glanced back and forth between the two of them.
These two people are really two extremes!
Kakashi is laid-back, Naruto is intense...
Can they really complete the task successfully?
"Okay, let me briefly explain the specifics of the mission."
Kakashi took out the quest scroll and said.
"The goal of this mission is the border of the Land of Rain. Our mission is to go to the border to detect their movements."
"If there is any abnormal situation, the information must be passed on to the village as soon as possible."
"But it's more likely that nothing happened, so take it easy, everyone."
