I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

As he spoke, the third generation took out a document.

"You're going on your first mission tomorrow, right? I don't think low-level missions are really suitable for those three kids!"

"Take a look at this task!"

Kakashi took the papers out of the document bag and glanced at the information on them...

Then, somewhat uncertainly, he asked, "Third Hokage, are you serious?"

"Ah! Of course!"

"In the end, the children still need to experience some challenges!"

Well, since the Third Hokage has made this decision, Kakashi can't let him change it.

"Yes! I know what to do!"

After saying that, Kakashi left the Third Hokage's office, and after Kakashi left...

The Third Generation looked into the crystal sphere and saw Shigure, who had already returned to his room and was fast asleep.

He looked so tired; he must have been practicing cultivation.

With such talent and such hard work, if everyone were like Shigure, Konoha would become incredibly powerful.

Danzo of the Root organization was also quite surprised as he listened to his subordinate's report.

"To be able to match Kakashi, even though Kakashi certainly wasn't using his full strength, the fact that he forced Kakashi to use his Lightning Blade shows just how terrifying this kid's strength is!"

It seems that sending ordinary ninjas is no longer enough to complete the mission.

Now that Hiruzen has arranged for Kakashi to protect him, it will be even more difficult to succeed.

It seems we can only put this matter aside for now and wait for the right opportunity to make a move!

The next morning, after Shigure got up, he glanced at the time.

Based on the original story, Kakashi will definitely be late.

and so!

I'll sleep for a few more hours!

When Shigure had had enough sleep and got up to head to the meeting point.

Kakashi's expression was gloomy, and neither Sasuke nor Naruto dared to speak.

They waited there for several hours, but the timely rain still hadn't arrived.

Even Sasuke was getting angry; this was a waste of time, and such a huge amount of time at that.

When Shigure arrived, he saw that all three of them had dark faces, and even Naruto seemed to be full of resentment.

Shi Yu was a little confused.

'Kakashi's here so early?'

I thought he'd be late!

It seems we can't completely trust the original works!

After staring at Shigure for more than ten seconds, Kakashi finally spoke, "Alright, now that all three of you are here, let's begin!"

"Your first mission after becoming genin is... escorting!!!"

Shi Yu was surprised, "Escort...escort???"

Chapter 72: Starting to Make Dumplings Ahead of Schedule

"Our Seventh Squad's first mission is a C-rank mission: to escort a bridge builder from the Land of Waves back to the Land of Waves!"

"Due to some special circumstances, he may be intercepted by enemies. We need to protect his safety and send him back to the Land of Waves safely!"

After hearing the general outline of the mission, neither Naruto nor Sasuke felt much.

I thought this was just a normal situation.

However, only Shigure knew that this was not normal, it was extremely abnormal.

In the anime, Team 7 takes on many D-class missions, such as weeding and catching pets.

We've been busy for over a month!

Why is it that when it comes to me, I have to escort Tazuna home?!

Could it be that my actions caused this impact?

"However, the person we need to escort has just arrived in Konoha. It seems he needs to rest in Konoha for a day to discuss some matters concerning the materials needed to build the bridge!"

"So we have to wait for him for a day before we can set off tomorrow!"

"Alright, that's about it for today. Go home now! Get ready to leave promptly at 8:00 AM tomorrow!"

When it came to punctuality, Kakashi glanced at Shigure and said, "I hope no one will be late tomorrow, otherwise I won't wait for you!"

He stared at Shi Yu. "Do you think anyone will be late tomorrow?"

Shi Yu shook her head helplessly. "No!"

"Very well! That's settled then!" Kakashi said and disappeared.

The three left behind could only leave on their own.

Shigure was exasperated. Who knew Kakashi would be on time? This king of lateness could actually be punctual sometimes?

"Shigure!"

After Sasuke left, Naruto suddenly called out to Shigure, who was also about to leave.

Shigure turned to look at Naruto. "What's wrong?"

Naruto rubbed his hands together a little embarrassedly. "Um, Shigure, could you teach me some more ninjutsu?"

"Uh! Of course, it's okay if there are difficulties. I was just asking casually!"

Naruto's desire to become stronger seems even stronger than in the original story, and he's also become smarter, knowing to ask me for help.

That's normal, though, since I taught him the Shadow Clone Technique before.

And what kid wouldn't want to learn more ninjutsu!

During the bell-collecting battle, Naruto saw Sasuke unleash a Fire Release technique again.

Shigure's astonishing swordsmanship seemed to be solely due to his own shadow clone.

Compared to his two companions, Naruto felt that his fighting ability was too weak.

Shigure looked at Naruto and pondered for a moment, while Naruto was filled with anxiety.

Fortunately, Shiyu didn't think for too long. After only a few seconds of consideration, she replied, "Okay! Sure!"

"Really? That's wonderful, Shigure! You're such a kind person, thank you so much!"

Naruto rushed up and grabbed Shigure by the neck.

"Alright! No need for words of gratitude. We're colleagues, helping each other out is nothing!"

"Let's go! Let's find a secluded place where I'll teach you ninjutsu!"

Naruto's chakra is wind-attribute.

Shigure currently only knows one wind-style ninjutsu: Wind Release: Beast Wave Palm.

This wind-style ninjutsu isn't particularly strong, but it's definitely very practical. It consumes little chakra while still having decent power.

If Naruto could master it, it would certainly add a bit to his attack options.

At the same time, he is more like a ninja. Otherwise, if he doesn't know any ninjutsu and only knows how to use shadow clones and make Rasengan, it would be too low-class.

Although rolling the balls directly turned him into a god...

and many more!

Roll the dough into balls.

Shigure frowned. With his current chakra control, making a Rasengan shouldn't be difficult!

Perhaps we can give it a try.

Upon arriving outside Konoha Village, this time we didn't go as far as the waterfall; we simply found a grove of trees and began our hike.

The first thing Shigure taught Naruto was Wind Release: Beast Wave Palm!

Shigure explained to Naruto everything, including hand seals and how to mobilize chakra.

Although Naruto has not yet mastered the nature transformation of the wind style, he is born with wind style chakra.

Its own chakra possesses the power of wind.

Nature transformation is merely a form of professional training; only after mastering it can one truly unleash the full power of a ninjutsu.

However, it doesn't affect anything.
