Under the Bamboo Forest of Naruto

Putting the scroll back, withdrawing Mikazuki Munechika, Ryūha formed the seal and left the ancestral hall space. Regarding everything he discovered in the ancestral hall space today, Ryūha did not intend to reveal it to the higher-ups of Konoha. The family should still have some secrets of its own.

When he came outside the ancestral hall, he picked up Yuta Kusachi who had just been sent out by him. Liu Yu smiled softly. Perhaps because he had found a way to deal with Obito, Liu Yu seemed much more relaxed now.

"Sister Liuyu, an ANBU just came over. It seems that the Fourth Hokage has something to ask you. Please come over as soon as possible."

Just as Ryuyu placed Kusachi Yuta on her bed, a child from the Kusachi clan came over to remind her.

"Yeah! I understand, you can go train yourself first!"

Liu Yu gently waved his hand to show that he understood, and at the same time showed a hint of helplessness. He had just rested for two days and returned to the mission again.

...

"Jounin Kusanagi Ryuha is here to report."

After a while, Liuyu rushed to the door of the Hokage's office, and Liuyu said loudly outside the door. It is impossible for Liuyu to be like the later generations of Naruto, who never knocked on the door when entering the Hokage's office, and even shouted at the fifth generation Tsunade, "Mother-in-law."

.

"come in!"

As soon as Ryuu finished speaking, Namikaze Minato's gentle voice came out.

"Sorry, I'm late!"

After getting permission, Liu Yu pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as she entered, Liu Yu bowed slightly to express her apology. Although she was late because of Kusachi Yuta and the ancestral hall space, this was not the reason for her being late.

"Ah! It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. The task is not urgent."

Namikaze Minato, who was sitting in the Hokage's seat, waved his hand gently, indicating that Ryūha didn't need to pay attention.

"Hokage-sama, what is the mission this time?"

Liu Yu raised her head and asked softly.

"Wait a moment! Other personnel for this mission haven't arrived yet."

Namikaze Minato waved his hand again and did not directly answer Ryūha's question. Instead, he asked Ryūyu to calm down and wait for his companions on this mission.

"companion?"

Liu Yu looked a little surprised, not because she found a partner for this mission, but because her partner hadn't arrived yet.

You must know that she arrived relatively late because she helped Kusachi Yuta awaken the Kusudun Blood Successor and discovered the secret of the ancestral temple space. However, she did not expect that her companions on this mission would actually come later than she did.

"Hokage-sama, who is my companion for this mission?"

Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but ask softly, who is it that dares to let Namifeng Minato dove off?

Hearing Ryūha's question, Namikaze Minato replied directly: "Ah! Your companion for this mission is..."

"Jounin Hatake Kakashi is here to report."

Before Minato Namikaze could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of a report coming from outside the door. Hearing this, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but spread his hands helplessly, and then shouted for Kakashi to come in.

"It's actually him!"

Looking at Kakashi walking in, Liu Yu looked a little surprised.

After Kakashi came in, his face was indifferent, he just looked at Namikaze Minato quietly, waiting for Namikaze Minato's next order.

Looking at Kakashi's disregard for him and the indifference on his face, Liuyu couldn't help but frown. Since Lin's death, Kakashi has really changed. He rarely seeks partners when going on missions, and more often

A person walks alone.

Those ninjas who occasionally go on missions to temporarily partner with Kakashi do not have a high opinion of Kakashi. According to them, Kakashi's whole person exudes a cold aura and repels people thousands of miles away.

.

During the mission, Kakashi never said much except for things related to the mission. Sometimes after the mission was over, the ninjas who were traveling with him would invite Kakashi to have a dinner together, thinking of easing the relationship. In the face of this kind of deepening friendship

Kakashi always coldly rejected invitations without hesitation.

"What do you want to do?"

Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but glanced at the smiling Minato Namikaze on the Hokage's throne. She no longer cared much about the specifics of this mission.

Intuition told Liu Yu that it didn't matter what her mission was specifically, what mattered was Kakashi.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let me explain the specifics of this mission."

Namikaze Minato naturally noticed Kakashi's excessive indifference at this moment, but he had no good solution at this moment.

Hearing what Namikaze Minato said, Ryūha and Kakashi's ears perked up. After all, they were here to prepare for a mission.

"This commission was issued by a village on the border of the Land of Fire. Their request is that Konoha sends ninjas to help the villagers eliminate a group of bandits and possible rebel ninjas nearby. Tomorrow you will escort the client back to the village.

."

Namikaze Minato whispered the specific requirements of this mission.

After hearing Minato Namikaze explain the specific requirements of this mission, Kakashi, who had a cold expression on his face as soon as he entered the Hokage's office, couldn't help but reveal a trace of doubt.

Cleaning out bandits and possible traitorous ninjas is just an ordinary B-level task. Under normal circumstances, such B-level commissions are handled by chunin, and the employer's commission is sufficient, unless there are special requirements.

Ryuyu's first mission after becoming a jounin was B-level (later promoted to A-level), which can be regarded as a transitional mission after Ryuyu became a jounin.

After the transitional mission, the mission that Liu Yu will perform again should be at least A-level. Even he has not performed a B-level mission for a long time.

There are generally two situations when jounin performs B-level. Except for those who have just become jounin like Ryūha to make a transition, they basically serve as jounin and lead their own ninja students for training.

To send out two Jonin for such an ordinary B-level mission, is this a big deal? The village doesn't have enough manpower at the moment, right? Or is it that the employer this time was particularly generous and offered a particularly large amount of employment compensation?

"yes!"

However, despite doubts about Namikaze Minato's row, Kakashi still agreed in a cold voice, and then retreated to prepare for the departure of this mission.

"Hokage-sama, is this mission too simple? Or maybe this mission is actually not that simple."

After Kakashi walked out, Ryūha did not follow the Hokage's office. Instead, he turned around and asked Namikaze Minato. When Namikaze Minato said that this mission was just an ordinary B-level mission, Ryūha was sure that there was something fishy in it.

.

Looking at Ryuu's pointed eyes, Namikaze Minato sighed softly, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of light worry.

"It seems you have guessed the true purpose of this mission."

Namikaze Minato said helplessly and mixed with worry. Needless to say, Ryūha had already guessed the reason why Namikaze Minato arranged Kakashi as her partner for this mission.

After saying that, Minato Namikaze glanced at Ryūha expectantly. Minato Namikaze also knew that this smart little Ryuu had already guessed his intentions.

"I'll try my best!"

Looking at Namikaze Minato's expectant eyes, Ryūha nodded slightly and said she would do her best.
