"Then I want to be the squad leader." Naruto made the request.

"No!" Tsunade refused without hesitation, "The third team are all honest people. If you are the team leader, the three of them can be deceived by you."

"If you don't do it well, the entire reputation of Konoha will be ruined by you alone."

"It's not that exaggerated, right?" Naruto scratched his face, "I am also an honest person."

"Huh?" Tsunade's eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly walked over and grabbed Naruto's collar. The big ball pressed tightly against her made Naruto breathless, "You'd better not trick them into doing anything weird.

”

"If I find out, you will be dead!"

"No, no!" Naruto sneered.

Tsunade let him go, her face still looked ugly, and she poked his forehead and said.

"Jiraiya takes you to practice but you don't want to go. If you don't do more tasks, how can you improve your strength? I have chosen tasks for you in the midst of your busy schedule, and you are still picking and choosing."

"Next time you let me hear such words, you will come to the office to do odd jobs!"

"Got it."

Seeing that Naruto was finally honest, Tsunade threw him back on the Hokage's chair, poured herself a glass of water, and opened her red lips slightly.

"This mission is a bit special." She said bluntly, "A mining village in the Kingdom of Sichuan was occupied by people who claimed to be the Black Hoe Family. It involved the mining village and the Black Hoe Clan, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."<

/p>

"It is very possible that that person is Black Hoe Lei Ya, one of the seven people."

"Is that person very strong?" Naruto couldn't remember who was among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. He had the impression that the seven members of the previous generation were beaten into three auspicious treasures by Matt Dai.

The one who has a slight impression is Itachi's former teammate Haju Juzo, a Kirigakure elite jounin, who was kicked by Matt Dai and became the shinobi world's sister-in-law.

Whenever you meet a ninja in Konoha, you must ask if you know a genin named Matt Dai.

"Strong? I can't say." After thinking for a moment, Tsunade knocked her head and said, "But that group of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen escaped from the Blood Mist Period, and things are generally not normal here."

"Originally, I planned to let Kai lead the team, but he was entrusted with protection tasks by a famous figure from another country, so I can only send you."

Hearing this, Naruto's face was filled with black lines, and he sat on the Hokage's office chair with his legs crossed.

"What do you mean you can only send me? Being a temporary worker is already very tiring. Just be a cow or a horse. There must be some practical benefits, right?"

"Huh?" Tsunade frowned slightly.

"No, I mean. Paid vacation."

"What do you think of me? Although I am Hokage, I still distinguish between public and private affairs." Tsunade dragged Naruto to open the door and threw him out. "If you can't complete this mission, don't go on another mission."

, come to the office to do odd jobs."

As soon as I finished speaking, the office door slammed shut.

Distinguish between public and private? Naruto was a little speechless, that's not what he said some time ago. Women are really fickle. After shaking his head, he stood up, patted the dust on his body and left.

There were still two hours before the departure time, and he wanted to go home and pack his things. But the client was in a hurry, and before he could leave the Hokage Building, he was stopped by Xiao Li from behind.

"Naruto, wait."

"We are leaving now." Xiao Li, wearing a green tights, said.

Hearing this, Naruto looked back.

Xiao Li stood in the sun with a serious expression, as if something big had happened.

Two figures appeared in the irregular shadow of the Hokage Building. One on the left and one on the right slowly walked out of the building. They were Hyuga Neji and Tenten whom Naruto had seen.

Neither of them looked very good-looking, and they looked extremely serious. Naruto could feel that this seriousness was not directed at him, but at this mission.

In other words, the preparation time for the task is cancelled.

"What do you mean by setting off now?" He asked with a smile, "Isn't there still two hours of preparation time?"

"Sorry, Rokusuke is too worried about the village Kanpachi." A big, sturdy man with a naive appearance walked out of the Hokage building, dressed as a villager, with a beard on his face.

The man's face was covered with a bandage, as if he had been injured by a blunt object such as a shovel.

Behind him, two other thin men dressed as villagers came out. They looked to be around thirty years old, and their hands had thick calluses left by hard work.

One person was wearing blue clothes, with thin lips, and the words "Don't fool" written all over his face. The other person narrowed his eyes and looked like the kind of moderate and honest person who is easy to talk to.

Glancing over, combined with the information that Xiao Li just mentioned in advance and what the bearded man said in advance, Rokusuke was worried about Kanpachi. Rokusuke must be the thin-lipped one, and Kanpachi is probably a villager who is in danger.<

/p>

He didn't remember some details very clearly. He only remembered that the third team seemed to have gone on a mission to eradicate the Black Hoe Thunder Fang, and the whole process was a bit overwhelming.

As for the source of the response, Naruto looked at the three villagers who entrusted the task and frowned subconsciously.

The special thing Tsunade said was waiting for him here.

"Let me explain." Hinata Neji came over and said without any emotion, "Their village is suffering oppression, and anyone who offends the Black Hoe family will be nailed to death in a coffin and buried alive."

"The three of them desperately escaped and asked for help, hoping that Konoha could help them eradicate the Black Hoe family and help them get rid of the fear of death all day long."

"Their companion Kanpachi was buried alive, we may have to leave early."

"That's right!" Xiao Li echoed energetically.

Tiantian didn't seem to have any objections. The three of them all looked at Naruto, as if waiting for him to say "Let's go now!" something similar to this.

But.

"I disagree."

Naruto's words went beyond everyone's expectations, and the atmosphere at the scene froze instantly. Most of the resentment and dissatisfaction came from the thin-lipped villager Liusuke, while Xiao Li, Tenten Ningji and the three others were more surprised.
p>

"Why?" Ningji asked, not wanting to hold him accountable, but simply asking.

"I don't have anything ready to go." Naruto explained, "Besides, Xiao Li has obviously just finished training. If he doesn't rest, he won't be able to travel for a long time."

Xiao Li scratched his head: "I can persist."

Hearing this, Ningci didn't say anything. He thought carefully for a few seconds and nodded.

"Then we will set off according to the normal mission time and cancel the advance."

Tiantian showed a helpless smile, with an expression that said he could do anything.

Only the thin-lipped villager Liusuke, who had been silent all this time, suddenly became excited and shouted loudly: "Are you kidding me!"
Chapter completed!
