89: Chapter 89 Leading the Team AgainAlthough the time spent on missions with Hinata was wonderful, it was too short.After returning to the village, Hinata soon started a new mission.
Naruto was training with Lee by the river that day when he suddenly received a call from Tsunade, so they went to the Hokage Building together.
At this moment in the Hokage's office, Kai, who had just returned from a mission, was making a report.
"Mission accomplished!Those pirates have tasted the bitter blow of my fist of love, and now they all realize their mistakes!The tears I shed for them were not in vain!" Kai reported the mission results exaggeratedly.
Tsunade was no longer surprised by his style, and she drank her tea leisurely without paying any attention to Kai's exaggerated performance.
"Kai, you have a new S-level mission.The other party has specifically asked for you!Get ready and act quickly." Tsunade directly gave the new mission and sent Kai away.
"Sister Tsunade, why did you call us here?" Naruto asked in confusion when he saw that Li's teammates had also been called here.
"Three people who escaped from the mine issued a mission request, saying that a Black Hoe family had occupied the village below the mine and was frequently killing innocent people!"
"Your mission is to escort them back and eliminate the Black Hoe family.Naruto will lead the team this time!The mission is that simple." Tsunade looked as if this was a small task.
"Hey?Naruto-kun is leading the team?" Tiantian said in surprise.She didn't expect that Naruto could lead the team even though they were classmates!
Rock Lee had no objection to this, and Neji had nothing to say since he had seen some of Naruto's strength.
"Sister Tsunade, you know my strength!It's been a few months since I was promoted to Chunin.Now the situation in the village is so tense, you might as well promote me to Jonin.It will also help to relieve some of the pressure on the village.Otherwise, it will be so embarrassing for me to lead the team out!" Naruto took the opportunity to ask for some benefits, so that he could look good when he went out.
"You wish!You want to be promoted to Jonin after completing a few tasks for the village?Even if I agree, the Elders will not agree.But considering your strength and the special situation of the village now, I will make an exception and promote you to Special Jonin!" Tsunade thought for a while and said.
"I'm just a special Jonin.Then I'll accept it reluctantly!" Naruto said with no interest.
"You little bastard, don't be so ungrateful!Do you think it's so easy to be a Jonin?Who doesn't make countless contributions to the village to get promoted?" Tsunade got angry instantly.
"Don't get excited, Sister Tsunade!Look, I'm working hard for the village, but on the other hand I'm always being plotted against by that old guy Danzo.Can you at least give me some compensation?" Naruto said shamelessly, and at the same time, he tried to flatter Danzo.
Everyone present was from the Hokage faction, so Naruto had no qualms about mentioning Danzo.
"I will go to warn Danzo again, but you have to be careful too.I can't put too many restrictions on him right now!" Tsunade felt so angry when she thought of Danzo, but she really couldn't defeat him at the moment.
Danzo has been running Konoha for decades and his foundation is deeply rooted in Konoha, so it is indeed not so easy to solve.
Naruto was not in a hurry, as it would not be easy for Danzo to deal with him now.However, because he was concerned that one of Shisui's eyes was still in Danzo's hand, Naruto could not confront Danzo until he found a way to fight Kotoamatsukami.
"Ah.While fighting for the village, I also have to endure the persecution of the village!At such a young age, I am really worried about Konoha!" Naruto sighed and walked out.
Neji and the other two broke out in cold sweats when they saw that Naruto dared to speak to the Hokage in such a way.In order to avoid being implicated, they immediately bowed respectfully and ran away with Naruto.
Bang.
Tsunade slammed the table angrily and was about to pull Naruto over and beat him up, but fortunately Shizune stopped her!
"Calm down, Lady Tsunade!Naruto-kun has indeed suffered a great injustice.It would be difficult for anyone to accept such a thing!" Shizune explained for Naruto.
Tsunade naturally understood this truth.If Naruto was not so powerful, he would have been persecuted by Danzo long ago.She immediately summoned Danzo and put pressure on him to behave himself.
Naruto actually didn't care about the title of Jonin.He knew that Tsunade also hated corrupt tumors like Danzo, but her foundation was too shallow to make drastic reforms.
Naruto wants to gain a say in the village so that he can give Tsunade more support.After all, it will take a long time for the young warriors in the Hokage series to grow up.
As for the position of Hokage, he had no interest in it at all.The thought of dealing with so many affairs every day gave him a headache.
Anyway, as long as you are strong enough, your words will be effective wherever you go.If you have the power to destroy a village with a wave of your hand, what difference does it make whether you become Hokage or not?
After a short rest, the client barely regained his ability to move, and then immediately urged everyone to set off.After all, their relatives could be persecuted at any time!
Naruto had already completed his training of the Diamond Seal at this point, and was now attempting to practice the Four Symbols Seal.
"Come to think of it, I remember there's a magical store near our destination this time!" Li seemed to suddenly remember something interesting.
"Hey!What type of store is it?" Tiantian asked curiously.
"I won't tell you this for now.You'll know when the time comes!" Li has actually learned how to keep people in suspense.
The group soon arrived near their destination, and Xiao Li suddenly became excited.
"Grandma Sansho!" Xiao Li saw an old woman from afar and then rushed over excitedly!
"Xiao Li?It's been a long time since we last met!" The old lady was happy to see that it was Li.
Everyone quickly sat down in Grandma Sansho's shop.
"I was saved by the curry of the Sansho Grandma!" Li GeEveryone explained.
"Were you too hungry at that time?" Tiantian asked.
"No, it was a real life saver!That time when you were not here, Naruto, I was exhausted while training with Teacher Kai, and it was Granny Sansho's Life Curry that saved me!" Li said seriously.
"Curry of Life!Is it really that mysterious?" Looking at this dilapidated store every day, I can't see anything magical about it.
When the food was placed in front of everyone, not only Naruto and his friends, but even the three clients who were used to living a hard life fell silent!
The so-called curry rice has an ink-like color because it is too thoroughly pasteurized and the ingredients have been carbonized!
Only Xiao Li seemed to have seen the ultimate delicacy, and excitedly picked up the spoon to start eating.
Everyone's eyes were involuntarily focused on him.
Xiao Li took a spoonful of this authentic dark dish with anticipation, and the next moment his face turned red!As if he had tasted the ultimate delicacy!He devoured the rest of the dish in just a few bites!
Seeing that he didn't look like he was faking it, everyone took a bite with some doubt.
vomit.
The sound of vomiting continued!This wasn't a dish at all, it was just a hodgepodge of seasonings!
Aside from the lack of any flavor from the ingredients, the flavors of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, and numb are all perfectly blended together, with the spicy flavor being the most dominant!It's also mixed with a strong burnt smell.
Naruto felt that this dish could be classified as poison!
After all, the three clients only had ordinary physiques.Although they vomited out in time, they were still poisoned and fell on the table.
Naruto was extremely skeptical about Xiao Li's taste at this moment!He really didn't know if he was just pretending when he praised his cooking skills before.
