Sitting on the grass, Obito casually plucked some grass from the ground, then suddenly looked up.

"Oh, yes."

Lin took off her headband.

"We are now Chunin."

……

Inside the Hokage Building, Obito looked up at the brief description of the mission scroll on the wall.

"Yo, here to pick a mission? Jonin Minato's back in the village?"

Tanaka, who was at the registration desk, had just finished settling the wages for a small team when he turned to the three little ones and asked them a question.

Kakashi shook his head.

"No, we'll take on the mission ourselves."

"Ok?"

Tanaka frowned.

In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, which position offers the best opportunity to interact with high-ranking officials?

Teacher? Hospital? Dark side?

neither!

There are only two.

One was the gatekeeper, and the other was the task registration desk.

That's why Tanaka took the initiative to greet Obito and the others, because their teacher was Minato Namikaze, who was currently known as "Konoha's Speed ​​King".

This title comes from the fact that Minato completed twenty-eight missions in one month, and was recognized as the fastest man in Konoha.

As a result, Shuimen was ridiculed by Lin Yi for a long time.

Therefore, Tanaka felt that it was not a good idea to bypass Minato and assign them tasks.

If they give them too little, they'll feel like they look down on them and will start talking badly about themselves.

If the reward is too high and the target isn't met, they'll still badmouth themselves.

And if the price is too high, what if it's discounted outside?

Obito looked at Tanaka, who was frowning and deep in thought.

"Hey, uncle, we're all Chunin now."

"Uh, I know, I know, congratulations."

Tanaka sighed. "Let's follow the rules. Minato's disciple can't be too bad."

"What kind of missions do you want? Escorts, exterminations, reconnaissance, oh, you can't do reconnaissance."

Um... and...

Tanaka spoke while flipping through the B-rank mission scroll in his hand.

"Is there a mission to rescue the princess?"

"Obito... so that's why you took this mission..."

Lin was speechless, and Kakashi next to her also twitched his lips.

As expected of you.

"Stop dreaming, there aren't that many princesses out there..."

"There really is one."

Kakashi's voice was stuck in his throat.

Tanaka turned to a batch of scrolls that had just been delivered.

"However, it's not a rescue, it's an escort."

"Oh? What exactly is it?"

Obito first gave Kakashi a look that said, "See, I told you so!", then quickly ran to the desk.

"It's a mission issued by the Snow Kingdom: to escort their princess back."

Tanaka nodded as he flipped through the scroll. Since there weren't many people around, there was no harm in chatting with them.

"it is good!"

Obito clapped his hands.

The hero who rescues the princess and the guard who escorts her seem pretty much the same, right?

He glanced back at Rin and Kakashi, but neither of them reacted.

Years of tacit understanding made Obito realize that they had no objections to this mission.

"We'll take this task."

With a bold wave of his hand, Obito reached for the scroll in Tanaka's hand.

However, Tanaka simply raised his hand slightly.

"I'm sorry, that's not possible."

"Eh? Why?!"

"Because escorting a princess of a country, even a small one, is an A-level mission."

Tanaka explained with a smile as he carefully put the scroll away again.

“Rank A missions can only be accepted by a Jonin-level team. If you want to accept one, you’ll have to wait for Jonin Minato to return.”

However, Tanaka doesn't think this mission will still be there when Minato returns.

Even if they were still around, this kind of time-consuming escort mission probably wouldn't be the first choice for "Konoha Speed," right?

Chapter 126 Team Leader, Lin Yi.

"Uncle, please make an exception for us. We're a genius team."

Tanaka's eyebrow twitched.

Putting aside the fact that this breaks the rules, their three teachers are Minato, and Kakashi is the son of the head of the Anbu. How could he dare to let them take on A-rank missions that are beyond their level?

He wanted to work for another two years.

"No, no, that's the rule."

Tanaka quickly shook his head, "If I really give it to you, I'll end up with him too, and then you won't be able to see me anymore."

Obito exhaled.

He has been out of school for almost two years now, and after experiencing so much, he knows that Tanaka does indeed have his own difficulties.

"Let's switch to a B-rank mission," Lin said gently. "Minato-sensei is so busy right now, he probably won't have time for it in a short time."

"But...but..."

Obito's face was full of conflict.

He knew, of course, that Minato-sensei couldn't come, but having just finished watching "The Hero Saves the Princess," he was about to be able to immerse himself in the story's male protagonist, and now the opportunity that was so close at hand seemed unattainable.

"Is it enough to have just one Jonin leading the team? It doesn't necessarily have to be Minato-sensei, right?"

Kakashi spoke calmly.

Although he liked to make sarcastic remarks about Obito, he knew in his heart that Obito probably really wanted to experience it.

Besides, Rin also enjoys traveling to different scenic spots. Now that the flames of war haven't yet reached the ninjas of Konoha, it would be a good time for her to go and see them.

Tanaka paused for a moment, then spoke hesitantly.

"This mission was indeed not specifically assigned to any particular Jonin."

The implication is that Kakashi was right.

Their team consisted of students who had graduated only a few years prior.

Normally, during wartime, once a squad member becomes a Chunin, they will likely be assigned to different locations, and the Jonin leading the squad will be reassigned to mentor new graduates.

Lin Yi's class and Shui Men's class are quite special.

Since neither they nor the Hokage spoke up, and it wasn't a big deal, they all turned a blind eye.

Regardless, they are indeed three Chunin. Three Chunin and one Jonin make up the standard ANBU team configuration, so it's perfectly reasonable for them to take on an A-rank mission.

Obito's eyes lit up again.

It doesn't have to be Minato-sensei; there's still a chance. We just need to find another Jonin who isn't on a mission.

Obito repeatedly emphasized to Tanaka that they must keep this mission in mind, and then he pulled the two of them and ran out of the Hokage Building.

"Who should I look for?"

Do you know many Jonin?

Kakashi glanced sideways at Obito.

"Brother Lin Yi!"

The three children had only experienced the early stages of the Land of Grass war and did not know Lin Yi's strength. However, Lin Yi was an elite Jonin of the Anbu, a fact known even to Obito and Rin.

Lin shook her head.

"We can't find Kai and Hong. They must have gone on a mission with Teacher Lin Yi."

"That's it..."

Obito simply plopped down on the curb.

"Have it!"

"Ok?"

"Kushina-sensei! She's a special Jonin."

Special Jonin are still Jonin, and they can also take on A-rank missions.
