Konoha: Naruto From a Wolf

Chapter 36 Long time no see

Sunagakure Village, Mission Acceptance Office.

"I'll go, the price is so high, why don't you go and grab it?"

An exclamation attracted everyone's attention, and a man with a white cloth on his head looked at the quotation in his hand in disbelief.

Looking at the man's short stature, everyone was slightly stunned. In their opinion, the man with such a rich voice should be a man with a tall figure.

As for the content of the man's shouting, they said it was normal.

Anyone who enters this mission hall for the first time will be surprised when they see the quotation handed over by Suna Ninja. At most, this man's reaction is slightly bigger than others.

"This guest, Sunagakure, as one of the five hidden villages, is confident and more capable of completing the tasks you have issued." Sunagakure, who was in charge of guiding, said confidently.

"Really..." Naruto dressed as a dwarf muttered.

Although his body development is good compared with his peers, he is still a little short compared to adults.

Excessive disguise may cause discomfort, but disguise on a reasonable basis will be much better.

So he made some simple modifications based on his original appearance, transforming himself into a short man with a unique voice.

I walked around for a long time yesterday and didn't even see a single hair on Gaara's body, let alone find anyone.

So today he changed his mind and directly hired Gaara as his bodyguard.

Gaara's genin team has a very high reputation, with a 100% mission completion rate, making it a good choice for employers with limited funds.

But it is precisely because of the high quality of Gaara's team that the price of hiring them is somewhat exaggerated.

For a normal C-level escort mission, the average hiring fee for a genin team is 50,000 to 100,000 taels at most, but the hiring fee for Gaara team is doubled.

"Can it be cheaper?" Naruto looked around and asked in a low voice.

"Guest, you get what you pay for when you buy everything. Look at Gaara's team's mission completion rate, even the Chuunin can't compare with it." The instructor smiled slightly and rejected his suggestion.

Generally speaking, the normal task process is to issue the task to Sunagakure Village, review and rate it, then handle it by Sunagakure, then pay, and finally complete the task.

But the escort mission is different. Every employer hopes to hire reliable ninjas, even if the cost is higher.

After all, if the money is gone, you can make it again, but if your life is gone, it is really gone.

Therefore, various hidden villages have also followed the market and introduced different price ranges and different levels of guard team options.

"Just think about it, the Kingdom of Wind is so big. Sometimes you encounter more than just wandering warriors and ninjas. The bad weather is also extremely dangerous. A strong team can ensure that you have no worries during your trip and reach your destination smoothly, without spending any money.

Why not go higher?" Seeing that he seemed to be still hesitating, the conductor quickly pursued the victory.

"Alas..." Naruto sighed slightly inwardly.

It took me so many years to save up!

He seemed to understand somewhat of Mr. He Yan's deep hatred for ninjas.

"When can we leave?" The moment he said these words, Naruto felt as if his body had been hollowed out.

Although his financial situation in the first life was not difficult, it was not close to being wealthy; in the second life, Ashina was in poverty and poverty, and the class was solidified with no hope. Whether he had money or not, he didn't have much.

The difference; the situation has improved in this life. After all, no matter how bad the reputation of ninja is among the ordinary people, it is still a high-paying profession.

After working so hard for so many years, I didn’t expect that I would be back to the beginning because of a task.

[Gaara, we will remember this grudge...]

Naruto couldn't help but feel full of resentment towards that bitter and grudge-ridden young man.

"Is it okay to leave tomorrow?" The guide took out a brochure, flipped through it, and asked.

"Why?" Naruto raised an eyebrow, I spent money.

"Team Gaara is on a mission." The instructor spoke concisely and quickly explained the problem.

Normally, this kind of thing should not be disclosed.

But not long ago, Sunagakure and the others were pushed to the ground and rubbed by Konoha again, and they were still rude, and it was unrealistic to cede the land, so they had no choice but to pay compensation.

If you want to ask why, just one word - poor!

That's right, Sunagakure Village, one of the top five hidden villages, is poor.

Because of the defeat in the three battles, the daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind was so disappointed with Sunagakure that he cut off nearly half of the military subsidies with a wave of his hand.

Things were going well during the Fourth Kazekage's reign, with the Fourth Generation's sand gold ninjutsu digging holes from time to time to make up for the financial deficit. Although it was still difficult, it was manageable.

but now?

The Fourth Kazekage died at the hands of Orochimaru, and he had to pay the Konoha boss a sum of supplies.

This makes Sunagakure, who is already not wealthy, even worse.

Not long ago, the superiors even gave them instructions that anyone who steps into this mission hall must let him issue a mission.

Even if one of them escapes, they are all sinners!

"Hurry up! I spent the money!" Naruto said bitterly.

"You can absolutely trust Sunagakure Village!" the guide smiled.

Reluctantly handing over most of the family property, Naruto walked out of the mission hall angrily.

"Hey!" Looking at the sun that had just risen not long ago, Naruto sighed slightly, no wonder he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked for it yesterday, his feelings were on a mission.

"The sand bath in the Kingdom of Wind seems to be very good. I just have free time today. Let's go and have a look..."

…

The next day.

Boom!

Naruto opened the door, and a man about the same height as him, with his face painted in red dye, stood there with his arms folded.

"I am Kankuro, she is Temari, and he is Gaara. I will be responsible for escorting you on this trip." Kankuro pointed to the two people behind him and introduced them briefly.

"Can we leave now?"

Naruto nodded slightly, all he had now was the outfit he was wearing, there was nothing to pack away.

The three of them followed Naruto closely. Temari looked at the back of her employer. The familiar feeling in her heart not only did not fade away, but became more serious as time went by.

"Do you think this person's back looks familiar?" Temari asked in a low voice.

"Is there any?" Kankuro asked doubtfully, "Just pay more attention."

Temari nodded slightly, actually she wasn't sure, it was more of an intuition.

Gaara listened to the conversation between the two and remained silent.

Although the two siblings communicated in lowered voices, Naruto was also very human, so he naturally heard the exchange between the two clearly and couldn't help but smile.

Having been a ninja all his life, he has some experience in disguise.

Perhaps compared to ninjutsu such as transformation, his disguise method is not that effective, but it can still be used.

His breath, voice, and appearance have all changed drastically. Temari's familiarity with him is more of an intuition that is better than ordinary people, and cannot be directly determined.

After walking through the streets that were not busy compared to Konoha, passing through the long and narrow natural barrier, I could no longer see Sunagakure Village.

Gaara suddenly asked: "You came to me, what's the matter?"

Temari, Kankuro: "???"

Temari even took off the three-star fan from her back and looked at her employer in front of her warily.

There is no ordinary guy who can be remembered by Gaara.

"Did Shukaku tell you? It seems that you two get along well." Naruto smiled, looked sideways at Temari, who had a pretty and nervous face, and said:

"Miss Temari, you don't have to be like this. If you really had thoughts about you, you would have died in the battle a month ago."

After hearing these words, Temari felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy and unfolded all her three-star fans. Kankuro also took off the crows on her back.

"Don't be nervous, Temari, Kankuro." Gaara stepped lightly, blocking the two of them behind him.
