Chapter 163 Commissioned Task (3k)
"Obito, you're late again." Kakashi said dissatisfiedly as he looked at Obito running over in a hurry.
“You should get up early instead of making everyone wait for you alone.”
“I got up very early, and I was late just because an old lady asked for directions on the road.” Obito defended.
“Your reason really never changes.” Kakashi said speechlessly. Obito had always used this reason when he was still in school.
“Because this is the fact.” Obito said unconvinced.
"Kakashi, sometimes you have to trust your companions. I think Obito should really help the old lady instead of making excuses for being late." Mu Yue said with a smile.
“Are there really so many elderly people in need of help?” Kakashi was skeptical.
"Could it be said that Obito's youth is to help the elderly?" Metkai showed a serious expression on his face.
"Why are you so weird for doing good deeds?" Obito couldn't help complaining. He just went to help someone when he saw someone in need.
“Okay, now that we’ve gathered, let’s go to the Hokage Building to pick up the mission.” Mu Yue said.
Things related to Konoha and ninjas basically go to the Hokage Building.
"What mission will it be, to protect our country's princess? Or to defeat the leader of the enemy country?" Obito looked at the tall Hokage Building and couldn't help showing a yearning look.
"What are you thinking? How can a trainee ninja like you, who is not even a real ninja, receive a mission of this level?" Kakashi ruthlessly broke Obito's fantasy.
"Genin can only accept D-level to C-level missions. You trainee ninjas can only compete with genin, and what you mentioned can only be S-level missions. Only jounin will be allowed to accept such extremely difficult tasks. Task."
Kakashi has been a ninja for several years and has long been familiar with Konoha's mission rules. Based on his speculation, Obito and the others may not be able to accept C-level missions, and can only do D-level missions.
“What will be the D-level mission?” Obito asked.
“Catch cats and dogs, clean up the trash and take care of the children.” Kakashi replied.
"Isn't this just doing odd jobs?" Obito was shocked. It was completely different from the ninja life he thought.
Snapped!
“You have to do the task step by step.” Mu Yue knocked Obito on the forehead and said.
Mu Yue also has some expectations in his heart, but he is not looking forward to completing tasks. He does not yearn for the life of a ninja at all. He is just looking forward to seeing whether his disciples will be rewarded for completing the tasks.
"Why don't they have forehead protectors?" The ninja who registered the mission asked when he saw that Obito and Metkai didn't have forehead protectors.
“Take out your internship certificate.” Mu Yue said.
Trainee ninjas will not be issued forehead protection, but will be given a trainee ninja certificate, which is equivalent to temporary forehead protection.
“It turns out that you are a trainee ninja. You can only accept D-level missions. Let’s choose from here.” The registered ninja took out a scroll and spread it out for Mu Yue to choose from.
Sarutobi Hiruzen has already informed in advance that a group of trainee ninjas will be doing missions recently, and they can be treated as just graduated genin.
Obito and Metkai both came over to take a look.
“Retrieve the lost pet cat, help take care of the three-year-old child, clean up the garbage at the training ground...” Obito found out that they were all chores, and Kakashi didn’t lie to him.
“Then let’s find the lost pet cat.” Mu Yue glanced at it and said.
Among them, taking care of children is a fixed time and takes one day. This must be eliminated first, and the others are pretty much the same.
“You can actually get five thousand taels for finding a cat!” Metkai looked shocked when he saw the reward for finding a cat.
He remembered that when his father didn't bargain, the meat was only one hundred taels per catty. Five thousand taels could buy fifty catties of meat.
“It’s not five thousand taels per person, it’s five thousand taels in total.” In order to prevent Metkai from misunderstanding, Mu Yue explained aloud.
“Five thousand two or four people are evenly divided, which is a lot.” Metkai said enthusiastically.
“Indeed, a bowl of ramen only costs sixty taels, and a cat can eat more than twenty bowls of ramen once.” Obito agreed.
Although doing odd jobs made him feel underestimated, he still felt that the reward for the task was acceptable.
Seeing how excited both Metkai and Obito were, Muyue did not break their beautiful illusions for the time being. Of course, it was impossible to divide them equally. Generally, the captain would have more, and Konoha would also levy taxes.
But Mu Yue doesn’t care about money, but is willing to share it equally.
“Akai, Kakashi, do you want to see who can complete the task first?” Obito suggested.
“Yo Xi, passionate youth should be full of duels!” Metkai agreed.
“It’s a boring competition.” Kakashi was indifferent to this.
“Kakashi, are you afraid of losing to us? After all, it’s really ugly for a chunin to lose to a trainee ninja.” Obito said excitedly.
Even though he knew that this was a provoking method, Kakashi felt uncomfortable hearing it from Obito's mouth, so he replied coldly:
“I’m just worried about hitting you, a newcomer.”
“It’s not yet certain who will attack whom.” Obito said we’ll see.
“Well, Mu Yue’s first cat-finding competition begins now.” Mu Yue announced with a smile.
“Start, whoever finds the cat first wins!” Metkai shouted excitedly.
Kakashi glanced at Muyue, his mood was a little subtle. He felt that this teacher in the ninja school had a different style from every instructor he had experienced before. Because of Obito's provocation, Kakashi became extremely serious and separated several shadow clones to go together to find the cat described in the mission.
Metkay, on the other hand, regarded this task as exercise and quickly ran towards every corner to find the cat.
Obito saw that Kakashi used a shadow clone, and he also separated two shadow clones to find the cat.
The three of them all looked very motivated.
But to Kakashi’s surprise, Obito found the cat described in the mission within an hour.
“Hey, it looks like I’ve won!” Obito held up a fat orange cat with both hands and proudly announced.
“Meow!” The orange cat was frightened by the sudden lift, and started to scratch at Obito like crazy, causing Obito to let go subconsciously.
But before the orange cat landed, a hand quickly grabbed the orange cat's Destiny's neck, making the orange cat dare not move rashly.
"You're so half-baked." Kakashi grabbed the orange cat and shook his head at Obito.
“No matter how half-hearted I was, I found it first.” Obito said unconvinced.
“It was just good luck for a while.” Kakashi felt that Obito was lucky enough to encounter him first, which didn’t mean anything.
“Very good, the mission was completed quickly, let’s go take on another mission.” Mu Yue said after seeing this.
Then Mu Yue took her disciples to the Hokage Building to deliver the task.
"It was completed so quickly." The registered ninja was also a little surprised. Catching cats is not an easy job. First of all, Konoha is very big and difficult to find, and those cats that often run away are very good. They are not only fast but also flexible. It is not true. Easy to catch.
【Disciple Metkai worked hard to complete the entrusted task and received Chakra +10, and was led by the teacher himself as an additional reward of Chakra +5】
【Disciple Uchiha Obito worked hard to complete the entrusted task and received Chakra +10. The teacher himself led the team and received an additional Chakra +5】
“Have you gained thirty chakras in more than fifty minutes? It’s much faster than going to class.” Mu Yue thought as she looked at the reward.
His last morning's small class only had twenty chakra points, and the big class had a little more than forty chakra.
There is no need to compress each task into one hour. As long as you do two D-level tasks in one morning, the chakra gain in one morning is equivalent to three small lessons.
This is still because Shisui didn't participate. If Shisui did, it would be 45 points of chakra at a time, and the benefits would be even higher.
“It still can’t completely replace class. Even if all three disciples have bonuses, the total is only fifteen points. Moreover, if students are kept doing tasks without practicing, it will affect a series of rewards such as apprenticeships, return to masters, training tasks, etc.”
Mu Yue thought about it carefully and felt that the mission reward was just a tack-on, at least based on the current reward range.
“Let’s do another mission to find the lost items.” Mu Yue glanced at the mission scroll and said.
"Kakashi, aren't you convinced? How about we compete again to see who can find the lost items first?" Obito challenged again.
"You may not have such good luck this time." Kakashi agreed directly. He did not believe that he would always lose to Obito based on his experience.
“Everyone’s fighting spirit is high.” Metkai was also excited and ready to go all out to find the lost items.
“The Mu Yue Class Lost Items Search Competition begins now.” Mu Yue announced with a smile.
Obito wanted to continue to win against Kakashi, Kakashi wanted to turn the situation around, and Metkai, who was working very hard for some unknown reason, all three of them took action quickly and wanted to be the first to complete the task.
Kakashi still adopted the shadow clone tactic. This time he created more clones. Each clone did not retain much chakra and had no fighting ability, but it was easy to use to find things.
Kakashi didn’t believe it. He and the eleven shadow clones could still lose to Obito and his two clones if they acted separately. Even if he was lucky, there was a limit.
About an hour later, something unexpected happened to Kakashi.
“It’s done, sorry Kakashi, I won again this time.” Obito said holding a box and a bag.
Kakashi after releasing his shadow clone:…
“What’s in that bag? Isn’t the only missing item the box?” Metkai asked curiously.
"It's a handmade pastry. When I was looking for something, I ran into the old lady who asked for directions in the morning. She insisted on telling me it was a reward." Obito scratched his head and laughed.
“It feels delicious, Teacher Muyue, please help me divide it.”
After everyone finished eating the pastries, they went to the Hokage Building again to deliver the mission.
【Disciple Metkai worked hard to complete the entrusted task and received Chakra +8, and the teacher himself led the additional reward of Chakra +4】
【Disciple Uchiha Obito worked hard to complete the commissioned task and received Chakra +8, and was led by the teacher himself as an additional reward of Chakra +4】
“There are actually fewer, is it because it is easier to find relics than catching cats?” Mu Yue speculated now.
So Mu Yue took on another task of catching a dog.
After Obito and Metkai set off, Muyue stopped Kakashi and said:
“Kakashi, do you still think it’s luck that Obito finished it quickly? Come with me.”
