On the first floor of the Hokage's house in Konoha Village, there is a hall where Sarutobi Hisashi occasionally sits in when he is not working on document scrolls in the Hokage's office, assigning tasks to the ninjas.

Naruto and the others successfully passed the test and officially became Kakashiban's shinobi, and the first thing they did to guide the upper shinobi was to bring them to the mission assignment to take on the mission.

To become a ninja, there are two tasks that must be completed, one is to be called into the army in wartime and form a ninja army to participate in the war, and the other is to complete various entrusted tasks in peacetime to earn commissions.

Part of the commission earned by ninjas who complete tasks goes to the Konoha Village public account, and part of it goes back to the ninjas who complete the tasks as a commission.

The investment of the Dragon Chamber of Commerce has greatly increased the financial income of Konoha Village, and I believe that in a few years, the village will be able to pay salaries to every ninja and raise them.

Now it is the second year of the implementation of the revitalization plan, the village's industrial and commercial tax revenue is not so high, and the work of ninja has not changed as quickly as the times, and after discussion at the top of Konoha believes that tradition cannot be abandoned, and it is necessary to continue to complete tasks to hone skills, so as not to reduce the quality of ninja soldiers during the war.

The prosperity of Konoha Village has attracted a large number of illegal immigrants, as well as a large number of merchants and legal workers from other ninja countries, and the floating population has greatly increased.

There are more people, and there are more things that need to be solved by ninjas, and the task distribution office can be described as crowded, and the number of tasks undertaken every day has increased exponentially, and the ninjas in the village are not enough.

Sarutobi happened to be on duty today, and he has been busy since the door opened in the morning when the distribution office was opened, and he was so tired that his back hurt and his eyes were dizzy, this was the first time he had encountered so many clients coming to the door since he became the Hokage, and he was really a little uncomfortable.

It's tired, but the mood of the ape flying and slashing is very good, and the number of tasks undertaken has increased, which shows that Konoha is extremely popular.

Clients from other villages can contribute a lot of commissions to the village, and they will also spend money on the village's commercial streets, raising taxes, and the more ninja missions in the village are done, the more experienced and powerful they become, which is a virtuous circle.

The only problem now is that there are too many tasks, and the ninja is a little insufficient, especially the D-level mission, this kind of task is low in difficulty, has little commission, and is very troublesome.

D-class tasks are non-dangerous tasks, such as taking care of children, searching for lost pets, and even manual labor such as helping farmers dig sweet potatoes and helping pharmacists collect herbs.

The number of D-class tasks undertaken every day is the largest number of commissions, and now there is a large backlog, and many of the D-class tasks undertaken are difficult to complete without manpower, so they can only make the client wait for the time being.

There have been many clients who have impatiently given up the commission and left, and some people have protested in annoyance.

"Kakashi, it's just in time!"

Seeing Kakashi walk in with the team members, Sarutobi quickly beckoned to them, handed him a list of D-class tasks, and said, "There are too many D-class tasks to squeeze, and it just so happens that you are instructing newcomers, so let them help solve some of them." ”

Sasuke had done a preview before, and he had a certain understanding of the system of Konoha Village ninjas undertaking tasks, and he knew that D-class missions were very dull and troublesome, and it was very meaningless for him who wanted to participate in battles and improve his strength in actual combat, it was simply a waste of time.

Ninja missions are divided into D-level, C-level, B-level, A-level and S-level, and the classification is mainly based on difficulty, the lower ninja can undertake D-level and C-level tasks, the middle ninja can undertake C-level and A-level tasks, and the upper ninja can undertake A-level and S-level tasks.

C-rank missions are dangerous, but they don't fight ninjas either.

B-rank missions involve confrontation with ninjas from other villages.

A-rank missions are to confront elite ninjas from other countries.

S-class missions are extremely rare, and they are important intelligence and combat missions that can affect the situation of the country, and only Shangnin is qualified to participate.

Sasuke was very reluctant to see the list of D-class tasks in Kakashi's hand, which was densely packed with hundreds of trivial things, and he really didn't want to waste his precious time on these tedious chores.

Although he was unhappy in his heart, Sasuke didn't say it rashly, but his expression was a little stiff and he sighed secretly.

Naruto also stood on tiptoe to peek at the task list, and after reading it, he held his glasses and thought about it, and asked, "Captain Kakashi, can we only take on one task at a time?" ”

Kakashi is sifting through and plans to take on a mission to find a lost pet, which will train the ninja's tracking and investigation skills, and indirectly train his skills when capturing some agile critters.

Hearing Naruto's question, Kakashi replied casually, "Don't underestimate the D-class mission, even if it's not dangerous, it will take a lot of time." If you take on too many tasks at the same time and can't complete them within the time limit, it will be tantamount to default, and the task will be considered a failure. There are too many failed missions, which affects the ninja's evaluation. ”

Naruto asked with interest, "What if you take on a lot of tasks at the same time, but you can complete them within the time limit?" ”

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted, other shinobi couldn't complete several D-class missions at the same time, but Naruto was different.

This kid can perform the technique of multiple shadow clones, and create a large number of physical clones!

As long as the shadow clone is not attacked, it can last for a long time, and the D-class mission is not dangerous, and the shadow clone cannot be attacked!

"Naruto, are you interested in these D-class missions?"

Kakashi hurriedly asked.

"It's fun!"

Naruto lifted his glasses, and his eyes shone strangely, as if he had seen a favorite toy: "These tasks cover all aspects of people's livelihood, in addition to taking care of children, finding pets, and digging sweet potatoes, there are also promotions, handing out flyers, sorting out books, and conducting surveys on the streets...... I even saw a task to investigate the prices of commodities in the village. ”

Sasuke rolled his eyes when he heard this, he really didn't understand the meaning of these short-term tasks, it was a humiliation to do such trivial tasks as a ninja.

"Only by linking theory with practice can knowledge be integrated, and life is full of wisdom."

Naruto continued to explain to Kakashi, "It's a great opportunity to practice and try to use what I've learned to accomplish these tasks and learn from them." ”

After the last assessment, Kakashi already had a deep impression of Naruto and spoke highly of him.

This child may not be a strong ninja, but his heart and mind are far behind his peers, and he can often see the big from the small, have a deep understanding, and say very reasonable things.

Konoha Village arranged for Shinobi to complete D-class missions, on the one hand, to protect Shinobi from taking on dangerous tasks beyond their own strength prematurely, and on the other hand, to use these small things to hone them and accumulate their experience.

Life quests allow ninjas to have more contact with the populace, as well as allow them to try to solve practical problems and expand their minds beyond the use of force.

Ninjas are not killing tools, not only to hone their combat skills, but also to be down-to-earth, understand the people's feelings, and be close to the people, which is the educational policy of Konoha Village to cultivate new ninjas.

The reason for formulating such a policy is that in addition to the foresight of the previous Hokage, there are also lessons from the past, such as the blood mist policy of the Fog Hidden Village, which cultivated ninjas as killing tools, and the result was that the village became weaker and weaker, and the ninjas killed each other in cold blood and ruthlessly, and many of them became traitors.

Not only did the strength of the ninjas in the Fog Hidden Village not improve, but because of their rigid and old-fashioned thinking, they repeatedly made mistakes in battle, and the Fog Hidden Village became the weakest of the five ninja villages.

"I'll ask Hokage-sama to see if I can take on multiple tasks at the same time......"

Kakashi touched his chin and thought about it, thinking that it seemed to be really possible, so he walked to the window of the mission assignment office and asked, "Hokage-sama, our class wants to take on multiple D-class missions at the same time and ensure that they are completed within the time limit, is this okay?" ”

"This is not in accordance with the rules, if it is delayed because of too many tasks, it is not responsible for the client......"

Konoha really doesn't have this kind of precedent, in order to respect the spirit of the contract, it is customary for a team to be responsible for a commission, and it suddenly occurred to Sarutobi halfway through his speech that there is Naruto Uzumaki in the seventh class, and that kid can perform the technique of multiple shadow clones, and the sealing scroll of the forbidden technique was given to him by Sarutobi himself.

There is so much backlog of D-class tasks, if Class 7 can really complete multiple tasks at the same time, greatly improving efficiency, wouldn't it be the solution?

"No kidding!"

Kakashi was talking to the Hokage when a person next to him suddenly interjected: "Kakashi, you are an excellent ninja, but you are not a good teacher, allowing the new Shinobi to undertake the task is completely boosted by pulling out the seedlings, which will affect the success rate of the mission, and if there are too many failed tasks, the reputation of our Konoha Village will be smashed!" ”

The person who spoke was wearing a pair of sunglasses and a headscarf on his head, it was Konoha who was particularly shinobi, the elite teacher Ebisu, who was here to report to the Hokage on Konohamaru's learning, and when he heard this conversation, he couldn't help but interject.

Ebisu and Kakashi have a good relationship in private, and during the Chunin exam, when Kakashi was teaching Sasuke Chidori too busy, he asked Ebisu to help guide Naruto, although Ebisu and Naruto had had an unpleasant relationship before, and Kakashi agreed for the sake of Kakashi's face.

Ebisu also knew that his strength was far inferior to Kakashi, but he thought that he was better than Kakashi in teaching his students, so he said these finger-pointing words.

Sarutobi ignored his words and continued to ask Kakashi, "The time limit for D-class missions is within one day, so how many missions can your class take on at one time?" ”

Kakashi didn't bother with Ebisu, completely ignoring him, and turned his head to Naruto with an inquiring look.

"The first time you try to do multiple tasks at the same time, don't be too stressed." Naruto lifted his glasses and thought for a moment, "Then set a small goal first, and take on a hundred tasks today." ”

"A hundred tasks? There is a limit to bragging! ”

Ebisu wondered if he had misheard, and the necessary condition for Shimoshinobi to take the middle ninja exam was to complete sixteen tasks within one year, with no limit on rank.

As a special ninja, Ebisu graduated from the ninja school at the age of 10 and was promoted to the middle ninja at the age of 17, and it took a total of 98 D-rank missions to complete in seven years, an average of 14 in a year.

Naruto's small goal turned out to be to complete the total number of D-rank missions he had accumulated in his ninja career in one day!
