Konoha's Immortal Disciple

Chapter 27 The first C-level task

"Grandma Hashimoto, is my strength still acceptable?" Hoshino Shu squeezed an old man's shoulder.

"Hehe, it's very good and comfortable. It's great to entrust a child like you to take care of me. Many children are frizzy and impatient." Grandma Hashimoto happily enjoyed Hoshino's smile. take care of.

"Hehe..." Hoshino Shu smiled, feeling MMP in his heart.

"I, Toad Immortal Jiraiya's disciple, the elder brother of the future Seventh Hokage, the third person who learned how to make meatballs, the one-in-a-million time-traveling protagonist, and now I am helping an old man rub his back and shoulders."

"Auntie, how many floors do you have to carry this bag of rice?" In a blink of an eye, Hoshino Shu received a new task to move things for the villagers.

Hoshino sighed softly, now he would rather wear a green tights and run with Kai on the playground while shouting "Long live youth" than doing these unnutritious D-level tasks.

So far, on his tenth day as a Genin, he has retrieved two cats, three dogs, looked after four elderly people, and helped a primary school student with his homework.

What made him even more depressed was that the people who asked him to help find the lost cats and dogs were a group of middle-aged women with heavy makeup on their faces, and the pungent perfume smell could be smelled several meters away.

The task he expected was to help a lovely little girl find her beloved kitten, and the little girl happily embraced her little pet and gave him excited and thankful eyes.

And with her soft and waxy voice, she said sweetly: "Thank you, big brother, I made a cake, do you want to eat it?"

The boring life has created his powerful obsession ability.

"This is not the ninja life I want. I'm a ninja, not the boss of Master House." Hoshino Shu returned to the entrusting office to submit the task.

Sitting at the commission office today is a young female ninja named Araki Kusu, and Kosuke is waiting for him here.

"It's very efficient, Shu, you've already completed two tasks today." Arakinan smiled at him.

"Sister Nan, when can I accept some higher-level commissions? These are not things that ninjas do at all." Hoshino Shu grumbled.

"This is a peaceful age, and it's a blessing to have such a stable and comfortable thing to do."

"Hey, that's it again." Hoshino Shu felt a headache.

"Teacher Gu Jie, you know my level, I am fully capable of doing more difficult tasks now." Hoshino Shu cast a pleading look at Gu Jie again.

"It's better to be safe." Gu Jie said seriously.

Hoshino Shu knew Kosuke's character well, and because of his youthful experiences, he would never put his teammates at risk in whatever he did afterwards.

Not to mention that Hoshino Shu is the student who was handed over to him for three generations.

"Alright then." Hoshino Shu could only walk out in frustration.

"Come on! I will definitely win the title of Catching Elvis." Hoshino Shu clenched his fist and put it on his chest to encourage himself.

"Even so, there is still no motivation at all."

As he was walking out, a middle-aged man passed by him.

"I'm sorry, sir, the reward for a C-level task is 10 to 8000 taels, and you only have [-] taels, so you cannot issue a C-level task entrustment."

When Hoshino Shu heard this, he turned his head curiously, and saw a middle-aged man with a straw hat hanging behind his back, dark skin, and simple cloth shoes standing in front of the table at the entrustment office.

"Ah, when our dates are ripe and sold, we will have money. That's why I came here." The middle-aged man was a little anxious.

Araki Kusu patiently explained to the middle-aged man:

"You don't have enough money, and I can't issue an entrustment to you. The premise of issuing an entrustment is that you must first ensure that you can afford the remuneration marked on the entrustment."

"Then what should I do, I really have no money, so I can't sell what's in my store."

The middle-aged man subconsciously took the straw hat on his back to his chest, and rubbed the corners anxiously, which was a movement he would make every time he was in a hurry.

"Sister Nan, I'll take this entrustment!" Hoshino Shu swaggered back.

The middle-aged man, Gu Jie, and Araki Kusu all looked at him with astonished eyes.

Araki Kusu said embarrassingly: "Although you want to accept this task, the rules have clearly pointed out that such tasks as a bodyguard for the client are C-level and above, that is to say, due to insufficient remuneration, this commission cannot be accepted at all. You can’t accept it even if it’s released.”

"Uncle, you have 8000 taels right now." Hoshino Shu looked at the middle-aged man.

"Yes." The middle-aged man was very surprised, he didn't know what the kid was going to do.

Without saying a word, Hoshino took out the wallet from his pocket, took out 2000 taels of banknotes and handed it to the middle-aged man:
"Dashu, now you have 3 taels, right?"

Araki Nan smiled helplessly, thinking: "This kid has tried his best to accept a C-level mission."

"There are still children like you who pay the client money before the mission starts in order to accept the mission."

Hoshino tree doesn't care about money at all, after all, someone is supporting him.

The middle-aged man didn't realize it for a while, and after a while, he took Hoshino Shu's hand and said gratefully: "Master Ninja! Thank you so much!"

Hoshino Shu could feel the roughness of the middle-aged man's hands, and combined with his attire and his previous words, he could deduce that this man should be a farmer who made a living by growing and selling dates.

Araki Nan turned to look at Gu Jie: "Grandpa Gu Jie, do you think this is okay?"

Gu Jie looked at the middle-aged man, then at Hoshino Tree, and felt that both of them were quite satisfied with the current progress of the matter, so he couldn't bear to break the beautiful atmosphere, so he nodded.

"This kid Shu likes to take on challenges. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive if he stays in the village doing these trivial tasks. I'll take care of him, no problem."

Hearing Gu Jie's final answer, Hoshino Shu was really relieved.

The anxiety of the middle-aged man finally eased a little. When he went out a few days ago, he just came to Muye Village with the attitude of giving it a try, but he didn't expect that this test really made him succeed!
"You two, let me introduce myself first. My name is Farmer, and I am a jujube farmer from Zao Village. As you can guess from the name, most of the villagers in our village rely on selling jujubes for a living."

"Although the income from selling this is not much, it can still maintain a basic livelihood. When the harvest is good, there will be a few wealthy jujube farmers in the village. We have been living a peaceful and happy life like this."

"But recently, a group of armed robbers came near our village. They often rob us on the way back to the village from selling dates, taking away the fruits of our hard work."

"It's almost harvest time now. Selling jujubes is the main source of income for our family. If we are robbed of the income from selling jujubes, our family of five will have no food. So..."

Farmer, who had been narrating with his head down, looked up.

"Your task is to protect me from being robbed on the way back to the village from selling dates."

"Understood, Uncle Zaozi!" Hoshino Shu was ready.
