The target has entered the alley, but the target is still alive.

In a dead end alley in Konoha Village.

Naruto sneaked up the wall and whispered to the radio:

"The target has entered the alley, OVER"

Sasuke, who also held the radio, also jumped up the wall on the other side and nodded to Naruto.

In order not to alert the target, he also lowered his voice and whispered to the radio in his hand:

"The plan has entered the second stage, and the ninja beasts have entered."

After Sasuke finished speaking, a small wild chrysanthemum walked into the entrance of the alley. It was Sakura's beloved pig, Xianglinger.

Ringing bells growled and dug its hind legs in the ground, as if it was ready to rush out at any time.

The target saw that the entrance was blocked, and subconsciously wanted to climb up the house behind him, but found that the wall behind him was too flat and there was no place to use leverage.

Fortunately, there were trash cans on the walls on both sides.

The target turned into a black shadow, stepped on the trash can next to it, and jumped onto the wall...

But Naruto, who had been waiting for a long time, was quick-witted and grabbed the target with both hands, and landed safely.

"Mission accomplished!"

Naruto raised the fat tiger-striped orange cat in his hand and shouted to Sasuke.

Sasuke jumped off the wall and nodded imperceptibly.

Kakashi also entered from the entrance, looking at the "Intimate Paradise" in his hand without raising his eyes:

"The mission is completed only when it is returned to the client."

------

Mission Hall

"Little Tiger!" A wealthy lady hugged the tabby orange cat affectionately.

The poor little cat was completely unable to break free from the shackles of fate, and with tears in his eyes, he let the lady squeeze it into a round shape.

"I'm sorry to bother you Konoha ninjas this time.

Little Tiger, don't run around next time."

The lady happily paid the balance of the mission, and then left with the howling "meow meow" little tiger in her arms.

Naruto, with scratches all over his face, swallowed his saliva:

"I seem to understand why it ran away."

Sasuke and Kakashi also showed a look of approval.

After watching the daimyo's wife leave, the three people and the pig came to the mission distribution office again to accept the mission.

"The next task for Team 7 is:

Help the ninjas who are out take care of their children, clean the courtyard, and help the villagers harvest sweet potatoes..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat at the task distribution station, puffing on his cigarette while explaining the next task to Team 7.

This month is the time when a new batch of Genin are doing tasks to accumulate experience. Sarutobi Hiruzen did not work in the Hokage Building, but came to the task hall in person to distribute tasks to the newly graduated Genin.

After all, almost all the future heirs of the Great Ninja Clan graduated in this year, and personally distributing tasks to them is also to make them familiar and leave a good impression on them.

"No, I don't want to do this kind of task again!

I want a more important task, give us another task."

Naruto crossed his hands in front of his chest and refused to do low-level tasks anymore.

Although Sasuke did not express his opinion, his eyes were full of affirmation.

"Idiot, you guys are still novices, you have to do simple tasks to accumulate experience.

Everyone has come this way!"

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could reply, Iruka on the side immediately shouted loudly.

Are you kidding? The guy in front of me is a student I taught. If he offends the Hokage, he might even implicate me as his teacher.

"But, but, Sakura is also a novice. Why can she not do these boring tasks!"

Iruka was speechless for a moment. He was actually wondering why Sakura was not in Team 7, but he didn't ask because he was afraid that it might be related to something.

"Sakura accepted a special mission entrusted by Konoha Hospital and is now assisting Konoha Hospital in department reform. Didn't I tell you before?"

Kakashi answered Naruto's question on behalf of Iruka.

"Besides, Sakura is not considered to have not participated in these D-level missions.

According to the regulations, tasks completed by ninja beasts or summoned beasts are also considered tasks completed by ninjas.

Although Sakura didn't come, she still sent ninja beasts to assist you."

As he said this, Kakashi gestured to Xianglinger with his chin.

Naruto looked at the small wild chrysanthemum on the ground, and his anger grew even stronger:

"Who wants this stupid pig! I want to do the mission with Sakura!"

Hearing the contempt in Naruto's words, Xiangling'er's wildness awakened immediately.

He dug the ground twice, and rushed towards Naruto with red eyes.

Naruto didn't dare to hurt Sakura's beloved pig, because he thought Sakura was not

She really likes me. If I hurt her pet again, there will be no chance for me and Sakura.

Soon, the man and the pig chased each other in the mission hall, and the scene was very lively.

"Ahem——"

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed twice and signaled to Kakashi.

Kakashi understood and disappeared in an instant. He picked up the angry Ringling and patted its back to calm its emotions.

With his other hand, he grabbed Naruto's collar and dragged him to Sarutobi Hiruzen. He pressed Naruto's head to apologize:

"Hokage-sama, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Kakashi had already played the villain, so the Sandaime would naturally play the hero.

"No problem."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone was calm, as if he didn't take this little thing to heart.

"I see. I will assign you a C-rank mission. Haruno Sakura will also participate in this mission."

"Great!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words made Naruto jump up excitedly.

Sasuke also crossed his arms and smiled with satisfaction.

But Kakashi frowned.

Because he knew that Sakura had not helped Konoha Hospital since she proposed the idea. She had been practicing medical ninjutsu for more than a month.

He also tried to ask Konoha Hospital for someone, but was strongly rejected by the doctors and nurses of the hospital:

"Sakura is a natural medical ninja. Without her, Konoha Medical will regress 50 years. Kakashi, do you want to be a sinner of Konoha?"

Kakashi wisely gave up the idea of ​​entanglement with Konoha Hospital.

After all, ninja is a high-risk profession. Injuries are commonplace. As long as people are intelligent, they will not take the initiative to offend doctors.

"Hokage-sama..."

Kakashi hesitated to speak. After all, it was not that he did not want Sakura to return to the team, but he did not have the ability to do so. Do you understand?

"Don't worry, I will go to the medical department in person."

The Sandaime saw Kakashi's tangled expression and understood his difficulties.

Because it was against the rules for the Hokage to give orders directly to Konoha Hospital, he could only go to the medical department responsible for managing the hospital first.

------

Medical Department

"Sarutobi, without Haruno Sakura, Konoha Medical will regress 50 years. Do you want to be a sinner of Konoha?"

Utatane Koharu pointed at the Sandaime angrily, spitting everywhere.

Not to mention that Haruno Sakura's own attainments in medical ninjutsu were not inferior to Tsunade.

The department reform she proposed could greatly improve the work efficiency of Konoha Hospital and increase the number of patients the hospital could receive every day by 3 times.

This is all money!

Because only one subject needs to be learned, the training cycle of medical ninjas is greatly shortened.

This is all money!

In addition, Haruno Sakura suggested that medical ninjas should use secret codes when prescribing medicine to patients, which corrected the "bad habit" of patients going out to buy medicine on their own when they see a doctor in the hospital.

This is all money! !

Utane Koharu wanted to hold Sakura, the cash cow, in her hands, and was thinking about how to persuade Sarutobi Hiruzen to let her leave Team 7 and come to Konoha Hospital as a vice president.

Who would have thought that this old monkey would find him first and ask Haruno Sakura to return to the team.

Utane Koharu was naturally furious.

"I can understand your feelings, and I also know about Haruno Sakura's medical talents, but..."

Facing the anger of his old classmate, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to patiently explain.

"But what, knowing her talents, shouldn't she stay in the hospital?"

Utane Koharu interrupted before Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking.

"Haruno Sakura's ninjutsu skills are equally outstanding. Do you want to train a miracle doctor for Konoha, or train another Minato?"

Seeing that his words were interrupted, Sarutobi Hiruzen directly picked out the key points.

Utatane Koharu was silent.

She understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant.

Now Sarutobi is old and frail, his strength has declined significantly, and the rule of the Third Hokage has also entered its final stage.

The Fifth Hokage is most likely Tsunade, Jiraiya or Kakashi.

These people are not easy to control, so if the Third Hokage Group wants to return to the peak of power, it can only hope to support the Sixth Hokage.

Originally, she, Hiruzen and Yan were all prepared to let Uzumaki Naruto, who was already bound by gratitude, become the Sixth Hokage.

However, Naruto's identity is always a time bomb. Who knows if he will resent Konoha after learning about his life experience.

Haruno Sakura, like Minato, has no other interests behind him. If he wants to become a Hokage, he can only rely on the power of the Third Hokage Group.

In addition, if Sakura didn't have the same military achievements as Minato, she wouldn't have many followers if she wanted to seize power.

If Haruno Sakura could become the Sixth Hokage, a mere civilian ninja wouldn't be able to do anything.

But...

"Haruno

Does Sakura really have the same talent as Minato? "

"More than that."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew Utatane Koharu's talent in judging people. After all, the famous three ninjas and Yellow Flash were discovered by him.

Utatane Koharu didn't say anything else, which was considered as tacit approval of Sakura's return to the team.

After briefly chatting about the current situation of Konoha Hospital, Sarutobi Hiruzen also stood up and prepared to leave the medical department.

However, after just two steps, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to remember something and turned to Utatane Koharu and said:

"By the way, I don't know what happened to the koi I raised in the pond recently. I always look listless and always lie at the bottom of the pond without moving.

It used to be very close to people, but now it always avoids people when it sees them passing by, and the color of the pattern on its body has also dimmed a lot.

Send someone to check if it has any disease."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried.
