This Ninja Is Obviously Not Strong but Really Hard to Kill

Chapter 123: Urgent Mission

Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and looked at him. It was unknown what he was thinking.

For Aoba to say such words, it was unexpected and reasonable for Sarutobi.

Thinking carefully about Minato's kindness to him, Sarutobi roughly knew why this guy was so excited.

If it were for someone else, Sarutobi might not be so worried.

However, this guy knew too much. He liked to be emotional and impulsive. No one could guarantee that he would do something in his emotional state.

Moreover, hadn't this brat done enough reckless things?

However, from a different perspective, Sarutobi had to admit that Minato had a good eye for things. Aoba was indeed a good child. He valued relationships, had courage, and was grateful for his kindness. He was not a wolf that he could not raise.

Moreover, his talent and hard work were excellent, and he was truly a good seedling!

Sarutobi could not bear to part with such a talent and felt that it was good to have someone in the know who could occasionally help take care of and protect Naruto.

However, Jinchuriki was something he could not afford to lose. If he went too close, there would be hidden dangers.

Especially Danzo, this guy would definitely not compromise on this matter.

Sarutobi was a little distressed.

"I know what you are thinking. You can leave first."

Sarutobi directly gave the order to leave. Aoba didn't want to stay any longer and turned to leave.

At this point, it all depended on the fact that the already dead Minato still had some status in Sarutobi's heart.

Moreover, Aoba thought that his actions were not excessive at all. Not letting Naruto be bullied and letting Naruto suffer less. Was it not good?

However, reality proved that he still thought too simply and overestimated his own role.

..................

The next day, Aoba, who had re-joined Mikawa's class, returned to his usual appearance and was doing the mission at ease.

Itachi and Gekkou Hayate both had high EQ and did not ask about what happened yesterday.

Mikawa, on the other hand, mentioned it but did not probe further.

However, just as they completed a C-level mission, Mikawa's class was directly called to the Hokage's office.

...

Sarutobi was still sitting calmly in his seat. No one could tell what he was thinking at all.

There was a scroll on the table.

"This time, I called your Mikawa class over because I have an urgent mission for you."

Mikawa was stunned. Normally, such a temporary emergency mission could not be handed over to such a genin.

This was because this kind of mission was at least at B-level or even A-level.

If Mikawa was not leading Sensei, even if he was alone, for the sake of the village, he would not hesitate to accept it, even if he had to sacrifice his life!

But right now, he was still the teacher of the three students, so he had to consider it carefully.

Thus, Mikawa hesitated and said, "Hiruzen-sama, this kind of task is usually completed by several Jonin teams. These children have just graduated not long ago. I'm afraid they don't have this ability. If they fail..."

"You look down on the strength of these children too much. Moreover, the village is in a hurry for manpower. Otherwise, I wouldn't give such an important task to you. The specific content of the mission is here. You can take a look first and then decide whether to help the village through difficulties."

Since Sarutobi, the Hokage, said so, Mikawa could not refuse, so he picked up the Mission content without saying a word.

After reading, Mikawa was obviously relieved.

This was a B-level mission. They had to escort a batch of supplies to the border of the country of fire.

Because the journey was not far and they were in the territory of their own country, the possibility of encountering enemies was very small, so there was not much danger.

Mikawa was very experienced. It could be said that he had analyzed the pros and cons of this mission in a very short time, as well as the areas that he needed to pay attention to.

In this case, it was not impossible to accept this mission.

During the war, the country was facing a crisis, and as a ninja, he naturally had to contribute to the village.

Presumably, Lord Hiruzen also had too little manpower, so he could not help but to give such a mission to Mikawa's class to complete.

Thinking of this, Mikawa no longer hesitated, "Hiruzen-sama, we will accept this mission."

"Very good! We will set off early tomorrow morning. I will wait for your good news."

During the entire process, Aoba and the other two did not express any opinions because it was useless to say it. The only one who could make a decision was Sensei.

Moreover, even if they did not agree, during the war, Sarutobi could use the authority of the Hokage to issue the mission forcibly.

Therefore, whether they had any objections, it was not important at all!

Since they had chosen the path of a ninja, they had to learn to obey.

However, when Aoba walked out of the Hokage building, he couldn't help but think.

After all, he had only just come into contact with Naruto yesterday, and then he had said those words in front of Sarutobi. As a result, their entire team had been arranged for an urgent mission today.

If it were for anyone else, they would inevitably think about whether these two things were related or not!

Moreover, this trip would take half a month if they were fast, and if they were slow, they might only be able to come back after a month.

Could it be that Sarutobi wanted to use this method to prevent him from contacting Naruto too much?

Or was it really just a coincidence?

Aoba's hypothesis was not unreasonable, but no one could give him an answer. He could not ask in person. So it was useless to investigate further. It was better to make preparations and complete the mission safely as soon as possible.

"Everyone, get ready when you go back. Gather at Konoha's gate at eight o'clock tomorrow morning! Dismissed now!"

"Yes!"

Since they were going to leave the village to do an emergency mission tomorrow, it was best for them to conserve their energy and bring everything he needed to prepare.

Aoba was simple. A space folding ninja bag was enough to put down all his stuff.

However, before he left, he wanted to visit Naruto again and tell him about it so that he would not think too much.

However, when he came to Naruto's house, he opened the door and found that there was no one inside.

Needless to say, he must have gone out to find someone to play with.

After all, Naruto was very stubborn. The more he could not make friends, the more he refused to admit defeat.

Sure enough!

After walking, Aoba saw Naruto with some children.

"What demon fox reincarnation? He's just a brat!"

"That's right. Last time, my father insisted that I stay away from him. He was making a fuss over nothing!"

"But this kid is really stubborn. He won't cry even if he is bullied. Haha!"

"That's because you guys were too light. Watch me later!"

"I also want to see the difference between a child's cry and reincarnated Kyuubi's cry."

"Kid, did you hear that? If you don't want to suffer, just cry for everyone to see."

But from beginning to end, Little Naruto, who was being pushed around, did not shed a single tear...
