I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 2 B-Rank Ninja Battle Mission: [Iwagakure Spy]! (Please add to your favorites and recommend!)

The setting sun melts into gold, and twilight deepens.

Two figures, one tall and one short, followed the last rays of the setting sun as they stepped out of the gates of Konoha.

Tsunade patiently counted the 100,000 taels of cash several times, then confidently stuffed it into her innate "four-dimensional pocket," and patted it lightly twice from the outside.

I'm risking my grandfather's name.

Tsunade can turn 100,000 ryo into 5 million ryo, no problem!

"Nara clan boy, you just said you're weak. Have you sought out a 'professional medical ninja' to help you with a physical examination?"

Tsunade gazed at Kikyo Castle shrouded in twilight in the distance, deliberately emphasizing a certain word, and asked a question that was clearly pointed at something.

Aside from her gambling skills, she was actually quite confident in her medical ninjutsu.

Despite having just had a minor misunderstanding with the child and even extorting 100,000 taels of mission reward from him.

However, Tsunade did not forget her professional ethics as a medical ninja because of this.

Okay, she just wants to make more money.

Normally, ninjas earn income by completing missions.

Of course, a very small number of people can make money through side hustles such as "literary creation"...

It's worth noting that the reward for a regular B-level mission is only around 100,000 taels of silver.

Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but you also have to share the money with your teammates. Most of the time, the actual income you can get is only one-third of the task bonus.

Due to certain personal reasons, Tsunade, who cannot bear to draw blood, has not been involved in any high-level missions for quite some time.

After all, missions of rank B and above generally require facing enemies head-on and engaging in fierce combat.

Even Tsunade's primary medical duties were significantly affected by this "special reason".

Despite being one of the legendary Sannin, Tsunade has long lacked a stable source of income, and she also has a slight gambling addiction...

In short, Tsunade would not easily miss any newly discovered potential source of income!

The Nara boy behind him comes from a very wealthy family. He casually offered a "mission reward" of 100,000 taels of silver, so he must be a super fat sheep that's rolling in oil.

If the other person's health problem is not serious and can be easily cured, then the 100,000 taels just now can be considered as payment for treating his illness.

But if the other party has serious health problems, Tsunade is prepared to discuss a really big business deal with this kid!

Tsunade awaited the "temporary employer's" reply, but one second passed, then two...

The Nara kid behind him was completely silent, as if he'd been run over by a steamroller.

Tsunade frowned, turned around, and was about to see what was going on with that kid.

The next second, she was suddenly met with a staring gaze.

"That brat!"

Tsunade clenched her fists instinctively, and several menacing veins bulged on Bai Jie's forehead.

She absolutely did not misjudge just now.

This brat is definitely the same type of person as Jiraiya!

Tsunade was about to punch this unruly brat, but before she could raise her arm, she saw Nara Ranke still walking forward unhurriedly, his pretty face showing no change in emotion whatsoever.

"No... I wasn't being spied on..."

Upon realizing that Nara Rinka wasn't spying on her, but was simply lost in thought, Tsunade involuntarily took a step back, unable to hide her embarrassment and shame.

"I'm being completely ignored!!"

Once she realized this, Tsunade's sense of shame was instantly replaced by a surge of anger.

This young lady is rich, beautiful, has a great figure, is skilled, has status, and has power. The men who want to date me stretch from Konoha to Kumogakure. You, kid, are following me around like a daze instead of being in heat. Do you think I'm invisible?!

Enraged, Tsunade simply stood still, sneering at Nara Ranka, wondering when he would finally come to his senses.

Step by step, Nara was getting closer and closer, about to commit the crime.

Tsunade finally raised her hand and slapped Nara Ranka on the forehead.

Snapped!

Nara Rinka was awakened by a cracking sound and a slight pain on his forehead. He immediately closed the "Lazybones Go to Heaven" panel, stared straight ahead, and tried to trace the source, but all he saw was a breathtakingly deep abyss that had split open on the white earth.

Our universe is filled with protons, neutrons, electrons, and—

Nara's laurel trees bowed their heads under the intense visual pressure.

His gaze swiftly descended, sweeping over that slender waist that seemed so tender it could be pinched to release juice, over those long, white legs that shone brightly even in the dim light, until it landed on the pair of ninja sandals on the ground.

A few plump, white toes playfully peeked out from the top of the dark ninja sandals. The meticulously manicured nails were neat and even, and the smooth, rust-red nail polish shimmered with a warm glow in the dim, natural light.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight, but Nara Rinka knows something is wrong.

"hiss--"

He gasped lightly, pretending to be in pain from the slap, and took a few steps back, asking in as calm a tone as possible.

"Lady Tsunade, is there anything I can help you with?"

"It used to be there."

With her arms crossed, Tsunade looked down at Nara Haruka with a smug expression, a triumphant smile playing on her lips.

"No, not anymore!"

Kid, you were looking at me just now, weren't you?

"..."

Nara Rinka was speechless for a moment, then deliberately looked away.

A born scoundrel, a fat sheep with a thousand hands!

He already paid the protection money voluntarily just now!

"Hmm? Kid..."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes; her sixth sense seemed to detect a hint of malice.

But before she could finish speaking, Nara Rinka's gaze first caught a stranger walking towards them.

He was burly, dressed in coarse brown clothes, and had an ordinary appearance; he looked like a cold and hard rock.

"Are there still civilians daring to linger outside the village at this hour?"

Nara Rinka's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

As one of the eight great mountains guarding Konoha Village, Kikyo Mountain has a considerable number of ordinary people living in Kikyo Castle at its foot.

Konoha Village also dispatches a certain number of ninja forces to protect the city, such as the Nara clan, whose main occupation is deer raising and who also serve as ninjas.

As for Nara Rinkazu personally, he also had a good relationship with the blonde female director of an orphanage in Kikyo Castle.

However, the situation outside the village is indeed tense. Even the people of Konoha have voluntarily reduced their evening outings. And this man coming from the direction of Kikyo Castle...

"Probably just ordinary people trying to make a living?"

Nara Rinka suppressed her unfounded suspicions.

However, even though he had lowered his guard, Tsunade, who had also noticed the stranger's approach, did not let her guard down.

'His aura was incredibly steady, his footsteps were silent, and the distance between his steps was almost perfectly accurate... Most importantly, this guy actually avoided my gaze!'

Tsunade, who had waded through the mire of ninja wars since childhood, stared intently at the newcomer.

"This guilty conscience is utterly irritating!"

Tsunade casually gathered a little chakra in the soles of her feet, then unleashed it, the immense power almost shattering the ground.

Amidst a few flying fragments of mud and rocks, Tsunade leaped high into the air, gazing down at the unfamiliar man below who had abruptly stopped and looked up warily. Then, she plummeted downwards like a cannonball.

Upon seeing this, the seemingly taciturn man raised his right hand without hesitation, bringing his index and middle fingers together, and urgently refined his chakra, releasing it outward through the chakra meridians in his legs.

Body Flicker Technique!

whoosh-

The man's figure fled the spot as swiftly as a ghost, so fast that Nara Rinka could only see a fleeting afterimage.

"They really are ninjas!"

Nara Rinka, a novice in the field, was taken aback.

"And this speed... this guy is definitely not an ordinary Chunin! A Special Jonin? Or even a Jonin!?"

The next second, Tsunade's foot arrived a step too late, landing not far in front of where the man had just been standing, and...

tread!

Tsunade landed lightly on the ground, her sharp eyes fixed on the new location where the stranger had appeared behind her.

Whether it's attacking the target location or the seemingly unstoppable "superhuman strength kick," it's all just a feint!

Tsunade shouted, "You rascal, you really are a ninja! Which village are you from?"

"Long golden hair, coupled with that exaggeratedly powerful aura... Could it be that you are...?"

The man looked at Tsunade in horror, but his right hand, which was still raised in front of him, remained in place.

"One of the legendary Sannin of Konoha! The Slug Princess! Tsunade?!"

"That's right!"

Tsunade nodded proudly.

"That's right—wait, what?!"

The moment Tsunade nodded in response, the man's figure vanished abruptly from the spot, as if erased from the world by some kind of special eraser, and even his body odor completely disappeared.

The reputation and characteristics of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha are truly remarkable.

Even before they got close, this spy jonin from Iwagakure had basically identified Tsunade's true identity.

The conversation just now was merely to buy him time to activate the secret technique of Iwagakure that he had mastered!

"Throughout?"

Tsunade frowned slightly, and without hesitation, immediately flashed back to Nara Rinka's side.

"No! It must be some kind of stealth technique from an enemy village! Sunagakure doesn't seem to have this technique, so it must be a ninja from Iwagakure?"

Almost simultaneously, several new message notifications popped up on Nara Rangsei's virtual panel.

[A Rank B Ninja Battle Mission has been detected!]

[Rank B Mission: Iwagakure Spy]

[Mission Objective: Defeat/Kill a Jonin from Iwagakure]

[Mission Reward: B-Rank Ninja Scroll. Opening this scroll will randomly grant you one B-rank quality technique, ninja tool, or other miscellaneous item.]

[Task Hint 1: Upon first completion of the task, the task reward will receive a quality upgrade of one tier.]

[Mission Hint 2: A B-rank ninja battle mission can be completed once a month against the same target]

[Mission Hint 3: Just a lazy ninja's mission! You can complete the triggered mission (based on the panel) without any cost, at the cost of a lower mission reward quality (one tier lower). Accept/Decline?]

"So that's how it is! This is the correct way to unlock the [Ninja Scroll]? Obtain random rewards by acquiring scrolls!"

Nara Rinka quickly skimmed through the mission information on the panel, her mood fluctuating slightly.

"Since there are dedicated ninja combat missions, there must be other types of missions as well, right?"

"While it's possible to speedrun, if it's limited to the panel's content, it doesn't seem to have much meaning, since the real-world tasks still need to be done... Wait a minute!"

"Actually, even if you don't do the task, or even just before you fail a real-world task, it seems like you can use this feature to end the task early and claim the reward? This is probably..."

"A lazy ninja living on welfare?"

During the new book release period, no extra updates will be added in principle.

But I can't say no to the readers' requests.

So I'll just mention the extra chapter rules again.

Two more chapters will be added for a 10,000 yuan reward.

Two more chapters for every 1000 monthly votes.

One more chapter for every 10,000 recommendations.

The Alliance Leader updates 20 times.

that's all.
