Chapter 60: Mission Room (Edited)

"Well, I can use the intelligence system in the Anbu department to look for any kind of information about the Kusanagi sword, if not, I can always look for another sword that is resistant first," After rubbing his chin and muttering, Naito tossed the hilt into his hand, then turned around to leave.

Walking through the streets of Konoha.

Naito walked through the streets of Konoha towards the Anbu department to research on sturdy swords.

The Kusanagi sword was a very rare item, even if he was an official Anbu member, they wouldn't give him the information for free, so he had to think of a way himself.

However, after inquiring here and there, Naito could not find any kind of information.

In other words, Naito's status was too low to get this kind of information.

What a bummer.

Helpless, Naito began to wander the streets of Konoha again until he found himself in front of the store for ninjas.

Although it was a normal store, who knows, he might find something!

After becoming a substitute Anbu member, Naito's daily expenses would be paid by Konoha, in short, he would no longer worry about food, clothing, housing or transportation.

As he walked down the street past some people, Naito noticed that the look on their faces was unfamiliar to what it was before.

Although the fact that Naito defeated Uchiha Samui in the life and death battle and defeated all the substitute members in the Anbu department was covered.

But still, Naito won first place in the Ninja Academy's combat exam, and everyone learned that he had defeated Minato.

"That's the genius, Yuu Naito."

"Oh, I heard he's an outsider..."

"Oh, yes, but in fact, his village was destroyed a long time ago, he grew up in Konoha, so he's one of us."

The eyes looking at Naito, as well as the words they said, no longer carried any derogatory remarks.

Naito didn't expect that, but it seems that Hiruzen did something in secret.

For a Hokage, one word can change the atmosphere of the village.

At the ninja store.

The owner's attitude has also changed since the last time, when he saw Naito, his attitude became warmer.

When Naito asked for a sturdy ninja sword, the owner showed a hint of embarrassment.

He had ninja swords for sale.

But... they were of poor quality.

Although he had some rare swords there, but no sword had good stamina, they were all of poor quality and deformed, so Naito couldn't use it.

In the end, Naito walked away helplessly again.

Leaving the equipment store, Naito was about to go to the Anbu department, but after walking a few streets distractedly, he saw a lively place, so he stopped to observe.

"Mission Salon?"

He was slightly surprised.

Looking at the sign above the door of the building, Naito immediately thought of the Anbu department's mission hall.

The Anbu department's types of missions are naturally secret.

And this mission hall must be where Konoha missions are delivered.

In the anime, Kakashi and team seven would always come to the mission room to accept missions to complete.

But, in general, the Hokage's job became easier every time someone took a mission.

Although there were thousands of ninja in Konoha, there were also countless missions to do every day, how could the Hokage oversee each one of them personally?

Naito shook his head slightly, he wasn't planning to go inside, but he was a bit curious, so he took a look inside.

But to his surprise, this glance led Naito to see an unexpected scene.

Inside the Mission Hall was a counter, with several ninjas handling paperwork and information in the back.

In one of the corners, Naito saw a familiar figure.

Might Duy!

"It's been a long time since I've seen him, so I was doing some missions," Pausing slightly, Naito looked at Might Duy and smiled.

In fact, most of the times Naito went to the forest to train, he would meet Might Duy and they trained together.

And from time to time they would end up having a spar.

But recently, Might Duy wasn't there, so he didn't witness the development of his Kekkei Genkai and his new Jutsu: Hakai.

But that was natural, after all, Might Duy is not a member of the Anbu department, he needs to do missions to get paid to meet his daily needs.

At that moment, Duy was arguing with a guy in the mission room.

"This is a C-Rank mission, but the difficulty compares to B-Rank missions, and for that reason, you won't give it to me!?", Duy's expression was incredibly angry.

Of course, he was very confident in his strength, that's why he chose this task to get the most money.

However, he can only get one C-Rank mission.

Duy chose the most rewarding mission, but the person in charge told him he couldn't do it!

The ninja in charge of missions told him, "Although this task is classified as C-Rank and does not require combat, it is very likely that an unavoidable battle will occur, the Rank is C, but the difficulty is B."

"This doesn't make sense, you placed it as a Rank-C mission, then I'm more than qualified to pick it up! Otherwise, why didn't you place it as a Rank-B mission?", Might Duy insisted on retaking this mission because after completing it, he wouldn't have to worry about life for a short while.

"Because this mission must be done by a team, and you are alone, it will be very dangerous," The ninja in charge did not show pity for Might Duy.

In his opinion, Duy will never be able to perform this difficult mission, and Might Duy's mission failure rate was too high.

And because of that, the failure will end with his death.

Even if the ninja in Konoha belittled Duy, they would not throw him to his death.

"Team...," Might Duy had a sad look on his face.

But at that moment, a voice came from behind Might Duy, "Two people count as a team?"

"Yes... wait, what!?" The ninja in charge replied unconsciously, but the next moment, he reacted after looking at the figure behind Duy.

"Hey, is that you, Naito?", Duy turned and saw a familiar figure, he was surprised for a moment, then greeted Naito with a simple and honest smile.

Naito smiled back and nodded to Duy, then walked beside him so he could see the ninja in charge and said, "So there are two of us now, there won't be any problem, right?"

As soon as he said this sentence, not only the ninja delivering missions, but even Duy was surprised.

"Of course not!", The ninja refused without hesitation and then said, "You're a kid who hasn't even graduated from Ninja Academy, what are you doing here?"
