At the riverside meeting point.
"Renye-kun, you changed your sword?" Utatane Koharu asked, surprised.
"Yes." Renye nodded, gently stroking the scabbard.
"Does this sword have a name?"
"I named it innocence."
Senju Tobirama once told Renye that when this sword slayed enemies, no blood would stain its blade, so he named it innocence.
Danzo Shimura stared at innocence with fervent eyes.
He could tell it was a good sword, even better than the weapons used by the Jonin in their clan.
This couldn't help but make Danzo feel jealous.
Why could Uchiha Renye have such a good weapon?
Renye's strength was already greater than his, and with this good sword, it would be even harder for him to catch up to Renye.
Danzo Shimura thought to himself, "No, I must also have a good weapon!"
Soon after, Yusuke Senju appeared before the three of them with a Body Flicker Jutsu.
He noticed the sword in Renye's hand and praised, "Nice sword."
Upon hearing this, flames of jealousy ignited in Danzo's eyes.
A weapon praised even by Teacher Yusuke must be extraordinary!
If only he could also have such a weapon…
Yusuke Senju glanced at Danzo, who immediately composed his expression, pretending as if nothing had happened.
"I'll take you to pick up a mission."
--------
Mission Assembly Hall.
Renye's gaze swept around, noticing that different levels of missions had corresponding sections.
Yusuke Senju led them to the D-rank mission area.
"Wait here, I'll select some missions for you."
Saying that, he began to browse through the mission information.
"Heh heh, we'll be able to do missions soon." Danzo excitedly clenched his fists.
This was his first mission since becoming a Ninja.
He was already prepared to dominate!
Starting from his first mission, he would gradually become a powerful Ninja!
"Wow, my first mission, I'm a little nervous." Utatane Koharu mumbled softly.
Renye stared at the two with a complicated expression, "It's just a D-rank mission, what are you getting so fired up about?"
If he wasn't mistaken, D-rank missions were all about things like finding lost cats and dogs, right?
"Renye-kun, what do you mean by that?" Utatane Koharu asked, puzzled.
Renye had no intention of explaining, "You'll find out soon enough."
Danzo Shimura snorted coldly, this bastard was being mysterious again.
Soon, Yusuke Senju walked over with a pile of scrolls, "I've chosen the missions for you."
"Teacher Yusuke, this... isn't it too much?" Utatane Koharu gulped.
With so many missions, when would they finish?
"It's alright, you should be able to finish them today," Yusuke Senju said.
With the kids' strength, completing D-rank missions was very easy.
That's why he took a bunch of missions.
Upon hearing this, Danzo Shimura's eyes widened in shock; Teacher Yusuke simply didn't treat them as human beings!
How could Ninja missions be so easy to complete?
"Take a look at the missions."
Renye opened a scroll, his mouth twitching, "As expected..."
Hearing Renye's words, the two looked confused, "What kind of missions are they?"
They each opened a scroll, and the expressions on their faces instantly froze.
"Teacher Yusuke, these are our missions?!" Danzo Shimura looked astonished.
"That's right, these are your missions. It's best to complete them by the afternoon," Yusuke Senju said.
Danzo skeptically opened the second scroll, and after seeing the content, he fell completely silent.
It was unbelievable that these were missions a Ninja had to perform...
Mission One: Host a beauty pageant for Uncle Yukimura's pigs in the east of the Village.
Mission Description: Uncle Yukimura had a sudden idea to hold a "Konoha's Most Beautiful Piglet" contest for his ten spotted pigs, and needs Ninja to help set up the venue and organize the audience.
Mission Reward: 2000 Ryo
Mission Two: Mediate conflicts between fighting puppies.
Mission Description: Two stray dogs in the Village square often fight, scaring children away from playing in the square. Ninja are needed to understand the reason for their fights and mediate their conflicts.
Mission Reward: 1000 Ryo, plus a box of dog bone biscuits.
Mission Three: Change diapers for the children in the orphanage.
Mission Description: The orphanage's caregivers are on leave due to an emergency, and several Ninja are urgently needed to help change diapers for hundreds of children at the orphanage.
Mission Reward: 5000 Ryo.
.........
Even though Renye was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel a little strained when he saw these missions.
What the hell kind of D-rank missions were these?
"Teacher Yusuke, can we not do these missions?" Renye asked.
Yusuke Senju raised an eyebrow, "If you accept and don't do them, it will be considered voluntarily abandoning the mission, and you'll be penalized with a deduction of money."
Renye: "..."
To be honest, he didn't want to do these missions that involved a lot of work for little money.
D-rank missions themselves had low rewards, and the Village would take a 30% cut. The remaining 70% would then be divided based on the performance of the four, so they wouldn't get much money at all.
"Alright, go do your missions. You can divide the rewards equally among yourselves; I don't need any," Yusuke Senju said.
As a Jonin, he naturally disdained sharing mission rewards with a few children, especially for D-rank missions...
The three sighed helplessly and left the Mission Assembly Hall.
Although D-rank missions were not dangerous, they involved little money and a lot of work.
The three of them worked tirelessly all day, their short legs almost giving out, before they finally completed these missions.
After a day of missions, the faces of Danzo Shimura and Utatane Koharu no longer showed the excitement of their first mission, but rather a look of numbness.
Heaven knows what they went through that day?
The two finally understood what Renye's words meant.
So D-rank missions were like this...
Renye looked at the two who seemed to have lost all will to live and comforted them, "Although the missions weren't great, we earned money, didn't we?"
Hearing this, their expressions improved slightly.
"Renye-kun is right, at least we earned money," Utatane Koharu said with a smile.
Danzo Shimura nodded secretly; with money, he could buy the weapons he wanted.
The three headed to the Mission Assembly Hall with anticipation.
They had completed over a dozen D-rank missions today; they must have earned a lot of money, right?
Mission Assembly Hall.
"You have completed a total of 15 D-rank missions. Here is your reward of eighteen thousand Ryo. Please take it."
"Eighteen thousand? Are you kidding me?!" Renye exclaimed.
They worked themselves to death all day and only got eighteen thousand Ryo.
No... after being divided among the three, they only got six thousand Ryo each.
It felt like the sky had fallen!
Danzo Shimura and Utatane Koharu also had grim expressions.
After working hard all day, they only got this much money.
No one would be happy about this.
Although Ninja earned money quickly, they spent it even faster.
After buying the necessary Ninja tools, their pockets would be empty.
Renye divided the money among the two.
Danzo took the money with a gloomy face and said, "Tomorrow, let Teacher Yusuke get us C-rank missions!"
Renye nodded in agreement, "Exactly."
D-rank missions truly had no meaning for the current three of them; they definitely needed to increase the difficulty.
