I'm Naruto, Starting With Ashura.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the center of the task receiving office, looked at the tasks completed by Class 7 and Class 8 yesterday.

"Yesterday's task was completed too well."

"The client had nothing to be picky about, and all the work was done to perfection."

Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that the most common tasks of Class D were a bit too easy for Class 7.

"It seems that we need to increase the difficulty of some tasks."

There are many tasks that Konoha receives every day.

There are more tasks such as D and C, and naturally there are also tasks such as B and A. However, such high-level tasks cannot be performed by a group of Genin. For Genin to perform such tasks, it is like looking for death. There is no difference.

"If Team 7 and Team 8 are combined, it should be okay to carry out a C-level mission of subjugation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen focused more on tasks such as C.

What Classes 7 and 8 accepted yesterday was the most troublesome of the tasks such as D, and it couldn't be completed by two classes in half a day.

But yesterday, the seventh and eighth classes still took half a day to complete the task.

Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't think that continuing to use D and other tasks can cultivate the character of Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.

Being able to complete the most troublesome rice transplanting task in half a day has proven how solid Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke's physical strength and skills are.

Not only was he very patient, he didn't hear any complaints, and even the supermarket overfulfilled the task.

It is natural to continue to toss around with tasks such as D for a period of time, but once this happens too much, you may become emotionally uncontrollable.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is looking for a mission suitable for Class 7 and Class 8 among the many C-level missions.

"The crusade against bandits does not involve the participation of ninjas from the enemy country. It is just a simple C-level mission."

Although it is a simple task of defeating bandits, it is not an easy task for the new Genin who has just come out of the ivory tower.

The point is that this task requires blood.

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused for a moment while looking at the task, and then looked at the client's brief introduction in detail and his simple judgment on the task.

"Well, this is indeed a very suitable task."

"Originally, I wanted to arrange it after Kakashi recovers."

Sarutobi Hiruzen hopes that Hatake Kakashi will teach the "Will of Fire" to Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, and teach them how to face this ninja world in a real ninja battle.

Teach them to cherish, rely on and trust their companions.

"It's a little early."

"It's okay, it means I've drawn Class C and other tasks in advance and arranged them together."

"Class 7, wait until Kakashi recovers and arrange a C-level mission."

After thinking about it for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to arrange a C-level task for Class 7 and Class 8 in advance to let them experience the real ninja world.

"Then arrange this task."

Sarutobi Hiruzen has already decided in his mind that this is the mission.

Umino Iruka, who was recording mission information nearby, also noticed Master Hokage reading the mission book.

But this is nothing surprising. After all, when Master Hokage delivers a task, he has to check a lot of detailed information on the task, and he also needs to confirm the general situation of the task based on character information.

"Hokage-sama, you are still as serious and responsible as ever."

"I can't leave the record work behind like this."

Umino Iruka is recording tasks more carefully.

While doing the recording work, Umino Iruka suddenly saw the medium task that Classes 7 and 8 completed yesterday.

"Uzumaki Naruto..."

Thinking of Class 7, Umino Iruka couldn't help but think of Uzumaki Naruto who concerned him the most.

"Nine Tails Demon Fox..."

"I still can't let go of the death of my father and mother."

Umino Iruka sighed secretly in his heart.

Hatred can never be let go so easily. Even after all these years, Umino Iruka has already known that Uzumaki Naruto is just a container for the Nine Tails demon fox.

But so what if you know?

Thirteen years ago, Nine Tails was still the monster that almost destroyed Konoha.

It was because of that monster that was raging in Konoha, and finally his parents died under the claws of that monster because of protecting him.

That is because Umino Iruka could not let go of that hatred, even now he still regards Uzumaki Naruto as the enemy who killed his parents.

It's just that Umino Iruka knew in his heart that his thinking was wrong.

But he couldn't help but think so, because for him, this was just a way for him to find a channel to vent his anger.

"Uzumaki Naruto, you should be more vulnerable, you should be more difficult to accept."

"Why can you accept this identity so easily?"

"I easily accepted the fact that I am the Nine Tails demon fox, and did not argue or make any rebuttal."

Umino Iruka still felt strongly unhappy.

He hoped to see Uzumaki Naruto's vulnerable side, so that he could have a channel to vent his anger.

But Uzumaki Naruto has never shown any sadness since five years ago.

Just face all the words around you very calmly.

This made Umino Iruka feel very unhappy.

He couldn't understand why Uzumaki Naruto could do it all of a sudden.

He also couldn't understand why Uzumaki Naruto suddenly didn't care about the sounds and eyes around him.

But, every time I see Uzumaki Naruto like this, Umino Iruka feels very ironic.

It was like 097 hitting cotton with a hard punch.

Since five years ago, Umino Iruka's anger has not known where to vent it.

Therefore, he could only sincerely hate Uzumaki Naruto for accepting his identity as the Nine Tails demon fox.

"Lord Hokage."

A sudden voice interrupted Umino Iruka's thoughts.

Umino Iruka raised his head and saw Jōnin, the instructor of Class 8, walking into the reception desk. Behind Yuhiko were students from Classes 7 and 8.

Just for a moment, Umino Iruka's eyes were locked on Uzumaki Naruto.

The fists hidden under the table couldn't help but clenched tightly, and he couldn't help but feel that strong anger.

In order to hide his anger, Umino Iruka had to lower his head and try his best to look at the information instead of looking at Uzumaki Naruto's face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not notice Umino Iruka's emotions, or in other words, thinking about Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke made him have no time to care about the emotions of a Chūnin like Umino Iruka.

Chūnin is considered the backbone of the Ninja Village.

But a Chūnin's emotions are not something a Hokage needs to care about.

What's more, he is only a lifelong Chūnin. Does such a person's emotions require Hokage to pay attention to him at all times?

At least Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't care about Umino Iruka's emotions.
