Seeing that he had used up a lot of his savings from Twelve Towns, Nangong Zhe decided to take on missions to earn some money.
Ninja missions are generally divided into five levels: D, C, B, A, and S.
D-level missions are generally some miscellaneous jobs, so there's no need to talk about it.
C-level missions will involve some opponents like bandits, usually a mutual mission or bandit suppression mission.
B-level missions will involve ninjas, usually Genin and Chunin level ninjas.
A-level missions will give special Jonins and Jonins a chance to appear.
As for S-level missions, they are basically war missions, involving the survival of a country or a village, with far-reaching effects. Many Jonins, Quasi Kage, and Kage level powerhouses will participate.
Nangong Zhe's goal is a C-level mission, because Nangong Zhe's current means to fight against ninjas are still slightly lacking. Ordinary ninjas are okay, he can make up for the lack of long-range attacks with his advantage of speed and superb swordsmanship.
But once it involves Chunin and Jonin, although he has a chance to win, he will inevitably have to pay a certain price.
So … for the sake of stability, Nangong Zhe is going to pick a C-level mission to test the waters.
Walking to the Wood leaf mission hall, ninjas in strange clothes are busy receiving or handing in missions.
Nangong Zhe queued for a long time and finally reached the counter. Looking down, he saw Tanaka Kun (Watergate's classmate) at the entrance of the village. When Tanaka Kun saw Nangong Zhe, he was also stunned, but then he reacted. He asked in a formulaic way,
"Name?"
"Nangong Zhe."
"Level?"
"Chunin."
"Chunin?!"
When Nangong Zhe said that, Tanaka Kun was also shocked and couldn't help but exclaim.
A twelve-year-old Chunin, for most ninjas, is a genius level. The ninjas in the hall also turned to look at Nangong Zhe with a curious face. Some of them might have seen the battle between Nangong Zhe and Kakashi at the entrance of the village, so they started to explain it to those who did not know.
Well, Nan Gongzhe could be considered to be very famous now.
"Sorry, sorry … I lost my composure."
"It's nothing. Do I have a lot of tolerance at my age?"
"Generally speaking, people who become Chunin are twenty years old or even older. Many people have limited aptitude and can only stop here for the rest of their lives. "
"The minimum requirement to become a Jonin is to have the strength of a Chunin before the age of 18."
"As for you, it's not impossible to become a Chunin at the age of twelve. Take the White Fang's son, Hatake Kakashi, for example. He was a genius Chunin at the age of six. I heard that he's almost at the threshold of Jonin. "
"This is also the reason why you were the center of attention after your battle with him."
Seeing Tanaka taking care of him and explaining so many things to him, Nangong Zhe thanked him.
"Thank you, Tanaka-senpai. If you didn't tell me this, I'm afraid I'd still be confused. Let's get down to business. Can you find a suitable task for me first? "
"Well, with your strength, you can actually take a B-level task, but considering that you just became a ninja, I suggest you take a C-level task to test the water."
"Tanaka-senpai and I have the same idea."
"But do you know the most important reason?"
"This …"
"Your strength is indeed close to the level of a Jonin, but you have a fatal flaw."
"Please say."
"You haven't had blood on your hands. For us ninjas, it's easy to judge whether a person has killed or not. When you take the task and face the enemy, the enemy doesn't care whether you have killed or not. Meeting on a narrow road is just a matter of life and death. So you need to kill people, you need to accumulate experience of fighting with people. These are more important to you now than practicing swordsmanship or Chakra. So, you'd better take a bandit type task. It's a good way to hone yourself. "
Hearing Tanaka-senpai's words, Nangong Zhe froze in place.
What Tanaka-senpai said is actually not wrong at all. He's now engaged in a simple profession. He doesn't care about killing or being killed.
If he wants to live, if he wants to become stronger, it's inevitable to kill, not just one or two, but a lot of people. Until he's covered in blood, killing mountains of corpses and seas of bones, he can become a strong person in the true sense.
This is the reality.
The reality that every ninja has to face.
After a long time, Nangong Zhe bent down and bowed heavily to Tanaka-senpai.
Seeing Nangong Zhe's reaction, Tanaka-senpai was also satisfied.
"Nan Gong Jun, you don't have to do this. You just joined Wood leaf, and there are a lot of things you don't know about ninja. You don't have a formal teacher to teach you. I'm a few years older than you, and it's good that I can help you. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. Although I don't have much ability, I will try my best to help. "
"Thank you Tanaka-senpai."
After flipping through the thick task book, he finally found a suitable bandit task.
Wood leaf village's 19th town, northeast of town, there are bandits entrenched in Lion Mountain, causing trouble in the surrounding area. Wood leaf village officials issued a task, asking ninjas to go and suppress the bandits. There are more than 40 bandits.
This strength and number are just right for Nangong Zhe. With the help of Tanaka-senpai, Nangong Zhe accepted the task.
After going home to pack his luggage and explain to his sister, Nangong Zhe was ready to go to Lion Mountain to complete the bandit suppression task.
"Onii-san, be careful on the road. I've made some rations for you and put them in your luggage. I've also brought some clothes for you to change into. I've also cleaned your sword for you and … "
The little girl seemed to want to say something, but she choked as she spoke, and it seemed like she was about to cry.
Nangong Zhe could only go forward and hug his sister, comforting her.
"I know that Onii-san went out this time to get rid of evil for the people, to eliminate those bandits."
"But … but …"
"Even if those bandits had committed crimes, killing them like this would only bring some vengeful souls to us."
"I really … really … don't want Onii-san to kill people."
Nangong Rou was born with a kind heart. She never wanted to kill or be killed to happen to the people around her.
She gave Nangong Zhe the sword manual in the hope that Nangong Zhe would have some ability to protect himself.
"Rou Rou … listen to me."
Nangong Rou looked up with a few tears in her eyes.
"You always told me to be a benevolent and righteous person like grandpa. I've listened to you, and I will do it. "
"But there are always some unrepentant people in this world."
"Killing bandits is saving people, punishing evil is promoting kindness."
"Onii-san promises you that I will only kill those who deserve to be killed."
