[OMG!!! Translating this book is so hard. No wonder no one has translated this. Dont even bother with reading MTL. MC name is dragon realm.
Chinese raw is written is such a way that a paragraph doesnt even form a single sentence.]
"Ryoma has reached position A."
"Kurenai has reached position B."
"Asuma has reached position C."
The voices of Team Six came through the earpiece.
"Good, we're very close to the target. Once you're ready, we'll move together!"
Chōza's deep voice also came through the earpiece.
Ryoma kept his eyes fixed on the target, relaying information to Asuma and Kurenai.
"I'll count to three, and after I finish, we move together!"
"Three, two, one, move!"
Three figures dashed out from the grass.
Asuma, swift and sharp-eyed, instantly grabbed a struggling shadow figure.
"Confirmed the characteristics; it's definitely the client's lost cat, Tora." Ryoma reported to Chōza through the earpiece.
Chōza's voice came through the earpiece: "Yosh~! Then this D-rank mission: Find the Lost Cat Tora is complete. Next mission, help Elder Itō at the east end of the village with his fieldwork. Turn in the mission, and get ready to move out immediately!"
The three replied together, weakly: "Yes~."
Genin missions really were far more boring than imagined.
Ryoma even felt that doing missions here was worse than going back to discuss life with Orochimaru, or swallowing snakes.
Our Asuma had long been unable to stand it; the one who wanted to spread his wings and soar was now stuck in the village doing things like catching cats, teasing dogs, and walking children—this made him feel incredibly frustrated.
But there was no help for it; the backlog of D-rank requests in the village had recently peaked.
Many ninja had been dispatched out of the village, and there simply weren't enough hands to deal with these time-consuming and labor-intensive D-rank missions.
And so, fresh out of the Ninja Academy, they had become the perfect labor force.
They even gave it the nice-sounding name of 'training for newly promoted genin'.
Ryoma could only express one thought:
Vicious capitalists!!!
In the one week since becoming ninja, Ryoma's team had completed a total of 19 D-rank missions.
Honestly, this pace was truly astonishing.
Even the Third Hokage praised them as a hardworking team.
Ninja from other teams had also heard that their Team Six was the hardworking class; no matter how troublesome the D-rank mission, in their hands it absolutely wouldn't last half a day!
Their efficiency was extremely high.
Of course, this was naturally thanks to Ryoma's Shadow Corps~
Ryoma's development of the Shadow Corps had once again achieved a milestone breakthrough!
For search missions, the Flying Corps just took to the skies and conducted aerial searches!
For transport missions, the Giant Corps just hoisted the loads onto their shoulders and carried them off!
For fieldwork, hoeing, and harvesting wheat, the Shadow and Claw Corps were even more professional, swinging their hoes faster than anyone!
It's just that the soldiers of the Shadow Corps couldn't speak and were completely obedient to Ryoma's commands.
If, while working, hoeing the fields, or repairing walls, one of the shadows suddenly stood up, and shouted, "Generals and ministers! Are they born to rule! Brothers, let's kill this tyrant!"
Ryoma wouldn't have been surprised at all.
Tarakudo thought, you're really using my Shadow Corps like this, huh!
You act as a beast of burden for others, and then have my Shadow Corps act as beasts of burden for you.
You're really quite the genius.
Ryoma replied, we're all buddies here, what are you saying, Commander Tarakudo. If I could summon you right now, you'd be out there with the Shadow Corps swinging a hoe too!
Tarakudo: "666, all vicious capitalists deserve to die!"
...
Finally, through the unremitting efforts of Ryoma's group and the Shadow Corps,
Team Six earned a new title: The D-Rank Mission Processor...
Team Seven, where Obito was, under the leadership of the fastest man in the entire ninja world, Minato,
also included Kakashi, who had already been promoted to chunin last year, within the team.
In one month, they completed 27 D-rank missions, bravely taking second place!
And Ryoma's Team Six, in one month, completed 107 D-rank missions!!!
Averaging 3.5 missions per day.
They held the top spot alone, a first place by a landslide!
Honestly, seeing this statistical data, it wasn't just the Third Hokage who was greatly shocked;
Even their jonin instructor, Akimichi Chōza, who did the missions with them, was once again astonished by how useful Ryoma's ability was.
Wasn't this just a pure infrastructure maniac?
It even caused a recent rumor to spread in Konohagakure:
When you encounter trouble, don't panic, don't worry.
Sad days will always pass.
Take your money, and go to Konoha's mission assignment office.
No matter how time-consuming or labor-intensive your problem is, a group of blue-skinned, good-natured youths wearing black ninja gear
will lend you a helping hand~
Ryoma looked at Obito beside him, whose expression, though unwilling to admit it, was one of utter shock.
He walked over and patted Obito on the shoulder.
Obito, was getting a bit agitated.
The Shadow Corps thought, who are you trying to impress...
Our second-generation ninja, Asuma, wasn't having it anymore.
He started bouncing around the mission hall.
He hadn't become a ninja just to do infrastructure work for the village!
Although following big brother Ryoma on missions recently had earned him a good amount of money~
Hehehe, so nice~
But if this old man gave them another boring mission like this, he, Asuma, would charge headfirst into Konoha's mission assignment desk and die!
We've already completed over 100 D-rank missions, doesn't that count as being mature genin yet???
The Third Hokage took a helpless drag on his pipe.
Although, normally speaking, genin really could only do simple D-rank missions.
Still, he couldn't fault Ryoma and his team for completing them so incredibly fast!
They took on D-ranks as if their lives depended on it, which left hardly any simple missions for the other classes.
And he couldn't very well assign C-rank missions to the other newly graduated teams; their strength wasn't even close to Ryoma's team's.
Taking another puff of smoke, the Third said helplessly, "In that case, I'll give your team a C-rank mission then."
Asuma, upon hearing this, immediately got excited.
He ran in front of the Third Hokage and asked happily, "What's the mission, old man?"
The Third Hokage took out the mission log, searched through it, then spoke to Ryoma and the others:
"Considering the number of missions you've completed, you really are at a stage where you can try taking on some C-rank missions, gradually transitioning towards C-ranks."
"Then, for Team Six, led by Akimichi Chōza, the content of this C-rank mission is: a group of bandits has appeared on Mount Unraikyō, about twenty kilometers northwest of Konohagakure. They've been active recently, robbing several traveling merchants. The client's intention is to eliminate this entire group of bandits."
"The mission reward is the highest tier for C-rank, one hundred thousand ryō. Whether you accept this mission is up to you."
Listening to the Third Hokage's words, Ryoma couldn't help but sigh once more.
In the world of Naruto, the lives of ordinary people really were like blades of grass.
"Eliminate them all, huh. The client is willing to pay a good price. It seems this mission expects us to kill all these bandits to completely eradicate the future threat!"
Ryoma stated his analysis.
Asuma and Kurenai, hearing Ryoma's words, were also slightly taken aback.
Akimichi Chōza thought for a while, and finally resolved to accept this mission.
"Hokage-sama, Team Six accepts this mission."
After confirming they would take the mission, Ryoma couldn't help but feel a tremor inside.
"So it's finally come, has it."
Having been in this world for so long, Ryoma knew clearly this was something he had to experience.
But honestly, as a good youth who had received nine years of compulsory education in earth in his previous life, Ryoma still couldn't so easily regard human life so lightly, nor be completely indifferent to others' fates.
The expression on Ryoma's face visibly changed, but he quickly made himself return to normal.
As if he had convinced himself internally.
Chōza took in the expressions of his three students completely.
Though in Chōza's heart, he didn't want his beloved pupils to come into contact with the true nature of the ninja world so early.
He genuinely felt Ryoma and the others were still too young, still just children.
But, the world is cruel.
Enemies won't show mercy just because they are children.
This was his mission as their jonin instructor.
This was their choice as ninja.
This, too, was the necessary path for Ryoma and the other two's growth and transformation!
