Chapter 10

"Lord Hokage!"

After washing up and eating breakfast, Hayama arrived at Hokage's office as scheduled, two people had already arrived first.

"Since we are all here, let me introduce you to each other first."

Seeing Hayama coming, Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe,

Pointing to the two and introducing Hayama, he said, "This is Tekuno, and this is Hatake Kakashi."

Hayama nodded when he motioned to the two of them.

In fact, even without Sarutobi Hiruzen's introduction, Hayama already knew both of them.

Needless to say, Kakashi.

As for Tekuno, the big fat guy who is comparable to Akamichi Dingza, in Hokage's original work, he is his teammate.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen introduced the three to each other,

This was the only time for the three of them to be stern and said: "From today, the three of you will temporarily form a small team, with Hayama as the team leader."

"Yes!" Hayama responded.

Kakashi and Tekuno also nodded, expressing no objection.

After all, the level of the two of them at this time is just Chūnin.

So the captain's job, of course, belongs to Hayama, who is Jōnin.

[Ding! Triggered a system mission! Get the approval of the team members. The difficulty of the mission is 1 star. ]

[Mission rewards: 500 points of prestige. ]

[Master, do you want to take the task? ]

"Recognized by teammates?"

The sudden sound from the system surprised Hayama.

But when he thought about it, he took the task.

Now he is in urgent need to improve his strength, so he hopes the system will issue more tasks to give him impulse.

Seeing that the Hayama and the three had no objection, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. He then pulled out a document and said:

"Now there happens to be a task for you to perform, although the level is not high, it is still regarded as a task."

Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking and passed the document in his hand to Hayama.

After receiving the file, Hayama quickly read the information on it.

(Task content: Go to the border of the country of grass and land, dock with intelligence personnel, and escort the intelligence back.)

(In response to the secret code, ask: Did you eat fish today? Answer: My fishing net broke yesterday.)

(The difficulty of the mission is C level. If the enemy is blocked, the mission will be automatically upgraded to B level.)

(Remuneration for the task is, 5,000 Ryō.)

"Are you we bringing back information?"

After reading the content, Hayama handed the file back to Sarutobi Hiruzen, saying: "If this is the case, then we will take this task."

He said his farewell to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hayama took Kakashi and Tekuno and exited Hokage's office.

"This mission schedule will take about five or six days back and forth."

Outside the Hokage building, Hayama looked at the two people beside him, and said, "If you have anything you need to prepare, go as soon as possible and gather at the gate of the village in half an hour."

Hearing Hayama's words, Tekuno responded with a smile, ready to go.

But Kakashi stood there, unmoved.

"Kakashi, don't you need to prepare?" Hayama noticed Kakashi was a little strange.

"As a ninja, always stand by for emergencies…"

Kakashi stared at him with fish-eyes, and said indifferently and earnestly, "So every time after the mission is completed, I will prepare the necessary supplies for the next mission in advance."

Nani?

After hearing Kakashi's answer, Hayama was dumbfounded.

Although he doesn't know that because of his father's death, Kakashi has a particularly strong stubbornness towards tasks.

But the mission hasn't started yet, and the necessary materials for the mission have been prepared?

This is not only a question of overly strict compliance with the rules.

This is simply falling into a barrier…

Looking at Kakashi with a cold and stubborn expression, Hayama couldn't help but ask curiously: "Are you ready even for the food for the trip?"

"I'm always ready, and I have more than a week's ration pills."

Kakashi's voice is cold and simple.

"…"

Hayama doesn't know how to describe it anymore.

Unexpectedly, he would be so paranoid.

But thinking of Kakashi at this time, he has become his teammate, and the system tasks need to be recognized by the players.

So Hayama still persuaded Kakashi, "As the captain, I still recommend that you eat less military food pills."

"Although this thing is convenient to eat, it can quickly restore physical fitness and Chakra."

"But if it is consumed for a long time, the body will develop resistance to it, causing the recovery effect of the pill to gradually deteriorate…!!!"

Speaking of which… Hayama suddenly froze!

In the original book, Kakashi is stubborn no matter what, and he never eats real meals during missions.

Taking all those pupils without getting sick... Do you perhaps have drug resistance?

The more Hayama thinks about it, the more he realizes it is possible.

"How long have you eaten this thing?" asked solemnly.

"About half a year…"

Seeing Hayama look serious, Kakashi frowned and answered honestly.

"Your former teammate, didn't you tell you that this thing can't be taken for a long time?"

"…"

Seeing Kakashi shake his head blankly, Hayama suddenly understood what was going on.

It must be that Kakashi's character is too bad.

That's why his former teammates deliberately concealed the side effects of the pills.

He graduated from the ninja school nearly two years early, it is impossible not to know the side effects of long-term consumption of this thing.

"You still don't need to take pills in the future!"

Hayama was serious and warned to Kakashi:

"These pills are emergency food. You are still in the developmental stage. If you continue to eat it for a long time, it will be useless to you in the future."

While cautiously warning Kakashi, Hayama led him to the entrance of the village.

When passing by a ninja outing store on the way, he also bought two dry foods enough for seven days.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, Kakashi's approval, prestige +1. ]

[System tasks, 50% completed. ]

Hayama and Kakashi waited at the entrance of the village for about ten minutes, and Tekuno, who was also ready to finish rushed over.

After the three gathered together, they left the village straight away…
