"What did you do yesterday?"
The next morning, when Rei appeared in front of Tsunade, his bloodshot eyes and haggard face scared Tsunade.
"Um...I tried to create an extra shadow clone yesterday." Upon hearing this, Rei pursed his lips slightly and said with some melancholy.
Just by adding one more shadow clone than usual, Rei almost died.
"Are you crazy? Four shadow clones plus the original body practicing at the same time is already your limit." Tsunade frowned and subconsciously wanted to slap Rei, but when she saw Rei's blank look, her hand stopped in mid-air.
Tsunade pinched the air awkwardly and could only take it back silently.
"I feel it." Rei nodded, turned and walked towards the third training ground.
"If it doesn't work, just take a day off today." Tsunade walked forward and hugged Rei's arm and walked forward side by side with him.
"How can that be possible? I'm asking for leave on the first day of official reporting. How will Sarutobi-sensei look at me?" Rei shook his head and continued walking towards the training ground.
"Really? You're so talented and work so hard, don't you really want to be surpassed by me?"
There was a hint of resentment in Tsunade's tone, and she spoke with a hint of meaning.
"That's not the case." Upon hearing this, Rei shook his head, glanced at Tsunade, leaned over and spoke softly. "I just want to protect you."
"So disgusting!" Tsunade almost subconsciously pushed away Rei's face.
But the smile on her lips could not be stopped.
…
The third training ground.
"Hey, Jiraiya you weren't eliminated?" When he saw Jiraiya, Rei raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a smile on his face.
"What are you talking about? I am Jiraiya sama, I'm very strong, okay?!"
Seeing Rei, Jiraiya jumped up suddenly and spoke loudly to Banyue.
"Well, Jiraiya is indeed very strong. After all, he is a man who can kill himself , he is really ruthless." Rei nodded upon hearing this and spoke to Jiraiya with a serious face.
Orochimaru, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw this scene.
"Uchiha Rei! I'm going to kill you!" Jiraiya's face became distorted, and without saying a word, he rushed towards Rei.
Today's Rei looks particularly easy to bully.
"Bang!"
Tsunade, who was standing next to Rei, took a step forward silently and hit Jiraiya's chin accurately with an uppercut, causing Jiraiya to fly backwards immediately.
Seeing this, Rei chuckled, took a step back, and hid directly behind Tsunade.
"Uchiha Rei! Is it true that you can only hide behind women?!" Jiraiya got up from the ground and yelled at Rei.
"if you want to hide, do you have a place to hide?" Rei was not angry at all and asked Jiraiya directly.
Jiraiya closed his eyes in despair, feeling as if a knife was stabbed into his chest.
It hurts more than my jaw.
"What happened to Rei-kun last night?" At this time, Orochimaru came to Rei and asked him with a hint of concern in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Rei waved his hand and said casually. "I practiced very hard last night and haven't recovered yet."
"Rei -kun is truly a hardworking ." Upon hearing this, Orochimaru was amazed that even with a kekkei genkai as powerful as the Sharingan, Rei was still willing to practice so hard.
Sure enough, every powerful person has his own reasons for being powerful.
"Don't praise me all the time, I'll be proud."
Upon hearing this, Rei chuckled and punched Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was stunned, covering the place where he was punched.
The force was not very strong, but was this Rei's unique way of releasing kindness?
"Humph, you are so strong, but you are still working so hard. The ninja world's atmosphere is corrupted by people like you!" Jiraiya said to Rei with an unhappy look on his face.
"Everyone seems to be getting along well."
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice rang out, and everyone turned around and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Is Rei in a bad mood today?" Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Uchiha Rei who looked tired and said with concern.
"It's okay. I went a little overboard during my training yesterday." Upon hearing this, Rei explained to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Very good, young people should have this kind of ambition." Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded approvingly, paused, and then spoke to Rei.
"But you also have to take care of your body, otherwise it's easy to get hurt."
"Okay, I understand." Rei nodded and chuckled when he heard this.
"Well, today I have something to announce to you all." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, ignoring Jiraiya who was in a dishevel and had a swollen chin.
You don't even have to think about who beat Jiraiya.
But Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't intend to take care of such things before Jiraiya cried and complained to him.
"According to the order from the Hokage, Team 7 will not accept C-rank and D-rank missions that have no possibility of combat. Instead, we will start with B-rank missions."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said to everyone. To be honest, when he received this order from his teacher, he was not surprised at all.
After all, if we ignore Jiraiya, this team would be a completely elite team.
Among them, after the brief fight yesterday, from Sarutobi Hiruzen's point of view, Rei and Tsunade's strength is no weaker than that of Chunin, and maybe even Jonin.
Orochimaru's strength is relatively weaker, but his strength is close to that of a Chunin.
For team members like this, only B-level tasks can better hone them.
As for Jiraiya...
"Yeah!" Jiraiya suddenly shouted excitedly.
When he thought about fighting with the hostile ninja soon, he felt the blood in his body boiling.
"Jiraiya, in a B-rank mission, there is only one thing you need to do. Listen more, watch more, talk less, do less, and protect yourself."
Sarutobi Hiruzen poured a bucket of cold water on Jiraiya's head without any mercy.
The excited smile on Jiraiya's face gradually froze, and he finally fell silent.
"So when do we start?" Rei asked Sarutobi Hiruzen .
Fighting with more ninjas and learning more ninjutsu, so as to make full use of one's own abilities to defeat or even kill the enemy, is a quality that a strong man should possess.
"Now, I will take you to meet our client." Sarutobi said to the four people, turning and walking towards the direction of the Hokage building.
_________________________________________
"Hello, I am Sarutobi Hiruzen, a Jonin of Konoha who will escort you to the Land of the Moon. These are my subordinates." Sarutobi Hiruzen said to the employer in front of him.
"Hello, Mr. Jonin, my name is Takenaka Heizo, and I am sorry to trouble you this time." Heizo Takenaka said calmly.
Such a businessman would definitely have some trusted ninjas around him to protect him closely.
Thinking of this, Rei subconsciously glanced at the two people hiding behind Takenaka Heizo.
"You are too polite. Let me introduce them to you. These are my subordinates." Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen chuckled and turned sideways, showing his image to the four people in Rei behind him.
Seeing this, Rei smiled and spoke politely to Takenaka Heizo in front of him. "Hello, my name is Uchiha Rei. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation on this journey."
Heizo Takenaka looked at the haggard child in front of him, who was only twelve years old.
Although he did not show it, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After all, I paid a lot of money for this mission. Konoha shouldn't use a student who just graduated from a ninja school to fool me, right?
However, Heizo Takenaka did not say this. Between his trust in Konoha and his suspicion of these four little guys, Heizo Takenaka chose to believe Konoha.
As the recognized largest hidden village in the ninja world, Heizo Takenaka still believes that Konoha will not joke about its reputation.
But when he heard Rei's self-introduction, Takenaka Heizo's heart suddenly filled with joy.
"I know you. I once cooperated with the Uchiha family . There was a little accident at that time. It was your father, Kenji who personally led people to recover the goods."
There was a hint of joy in Takenaka Heizo's tone.
"Now many businessesmen know that the Uchiha family has a genius who opened the three-tomoe Sharingan at the age of six. Rei is really a rare genius." Takenaka Heizo paused and said to Banyue.
"Ah? Ah, you're too kind." Rei was stunned. My goodness, has my reputation begun to spread to the ninja world?
Thank you so much, my beloved father!
"Hello, my name is Tsunade." Tsunade glanced at Rei and a trace of pity appeared in the corner of her eyes.
A great reputation means that most people know the information about Rei.
"Hirokage-sama's granddaughter, Princess Tsunade. I never expected that I would be able to meet the descendants of the two great families that pacified the troubled times at the same time this time." At this time, Heizo Takenaka could be said to be overjoyed.
As the head of a large business, Heizo Takenaka has been dealing with ninjas for many years, so he knows a thing or two about some things in the ninja circle.
Even if the second generation does not take his mission lightly, he will certainly not take the safety of his granddaughter lightly.
"You are too kind." Tsunade's smile was somewhat forced when she heard this. Her situation seemed to be similar to Rei's .
"Hello, my name is Orochimaru." Orochimaru said to Takenaka Heizo.
"Well, I'll need you for the rest of the journey."
Heizo Takenaka is in a very good mood now. As an Uchiha genius and a direct descendant of the Hokage, Heizo Takenaka is already very satisfied.
As for the other two, even if they were unknown, Takenaka Heizo could accept them.
"Hello, my name is Jiraiya." Jiraiya said to Takenaka Heizo.
"Well, you are quite energetic. Thank you for your hard work on the rest of the journey."
Heizo Takenaka had a warm smile on his face, and he didn't give people the feeling that he looked down on others.
Jiraiya was extremely happy. This was the first time in his life that he met someone who respected him so much.
"Heizo-kun, you can see that Rei is not in a good condition today. If possible, I hope to take a day off today. How about we set off early tomorrow morning?"
Sarutobi took over the conversation and spoke to Takenaka Heizo.
"Of course"
Hearing this, Takenaka Heizo nodded. The caravan did not need the money for a day's rest. The most important thing was the caravan's safety.
Then he said to Sarutobi. "Mr. Jonin, it's almost noon now. Why don't we all eat something together and then go to the Konoha baths to relax. Tomorrow morning, we will head to the Land of Moon. How about that?"
.
In fact, Takenaka Heizo had also heard of Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation. He was the direct disciple of the Second Hokage.
It was said that in the underground exchange, Sarutobi Hiruzen's head was very valuable.
"You are too polite. Forget about the meal. We can just go back and eat something."
Sarutobi Hiruzen refused out loud when he heard this.
"Don't be polite, Hiruzen-kun. I don't know how much trouble I will have to cause you in the rest of the journey." Takenaka Heizo hurriedly spoke to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
You have to eat, and you have to take a bath.
Although I am their employer, I still have to do what I should do.
How much does it cost to eat and take a shower?
If I really encounter danger, even if the goods are lost, it would be a good thing if these people could take me with them when they run.
