I just returned to Konoha and found that all my clan members were gone.

"I wonder what Grandma Tsunade wants us to do?" Naruto went to the Hokage Building with his teammates. The recent mission was very boring. When Naruto heard that Kiba's class had carried out an A-level mission last time, his face was full of envy.

"I'll give you a new mission this time." Tsunade handed them a scroll about the mission when she saw them arrive. Sasuke, as a Chunin, took it directly.

"Let's take a look at the level of the task." The task assigned to them by Tsunade herself must not be too simple, Naruto said excitedly.

"A B-level mission, a protection one?" After seeing the scroll, Sasuke couldn't help but think of the first mission they carried out outside the village. It was also a B-level bodyguard mission, but they met a senior ninja like Zabuza.

"What? Only B-level!" After Naruto became stronger, he began to look down on missions of this level.

"Stop being so picky, just stop it!" Tsunade tried hard not to get angry. Although she was optimistic about Naruto, his personality was really unpleasant.

"Where is Sensei Kakashi?" Sakura discovered that Sensei Kakashi was not there to take on the mission this time.

"Kakashi has gone to perform other missions. I have arranged for a jonin to lead you on this mission. Come out." With the Uchiha and Jinchūriki in the team, Tsunade was really worried about them going out on the mission alone, not to mention the existence of the Akatsuki organization. Even though the village was really busy, Tsunade still spared some manpower.

"Hello everyone!" Ye Lan's figure suddenly appeared in front of everyone. His free time was not long. Tsunade found him just a few days after he returned from Sand Village.

"Brother Ye Lan!" The three people who were familiar with Ye Lan immediately became happy. They felt much more at ease with the powerful Ye Lan by their side.

"Let me speak first. Unless there is an emergency, Ye Lan will not take action on this mission. This mission is mainly completed by you on your own." Tsunade explained the situation first. A B-level mission requires an Uchiha Chunin and two pretty good Genin, so the specifications are sufficient.

"Don't worry! We can complete the task by ourselves and won't let Brother Ye Lan do it!" Naruto patted his chest.

I hope so... Tsunade couldn't help but think that since Ye Lan didn't take action, it meant that there were no unexpected situations, so she could rest assured.

After several days of journey, they were finally approaching their destination. During this period, except for the three people who asked Ye Lan for advice on their practice, he did not give too many instructions to the team, but let them play freely. At this time, they arrived at a restaurant and everyone planned to have a meal here before continuing on their way.

"I'm so tired and hungry, boss!" Naruto shouted as soon as he entered the door and ordered a lot of food. It seemed that he had a good appetite.

Ye Lan sat down with them. The most things he brought with him on this trip were books, which he still hadn't put down in his hands.

"Brother Ye Lan, what have you been reading recently?" Sakura was a little curious. Why did Ye Lan always have books in his hands like Kakashi? She couldn't help but wonder if it was the same kind of books that Kakashi's teacher read.

"This one." Ye Lan showed the cover of the book to Sakura. It read "The Direction and Experience of the Development of General Ninjas in Konoha".

Seeing the title, the three of them were puzzled as to what kind of book this was.

Seeing the doubts on the faces of the three people, Ye Lan smiled and said, "This is a book for civilian ninjas to learn from Genin to Jonin. It is very helpful for ninja planning."

"But Brother Ye Lan, you are already a Jonin, and you still read this kind of book. Is it helpful?" Naruto asked puzzledly.

"This book doesn't contain any ninjutsu to learn. It contains a lot of theoretical knowledge and development suggestions, as well as an understanding of the changes in chakra properties and forms. Sakura, this book is very suitable for you. You can study it if you have time." Ye Lan said, "And this book was written by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. It can be regarded as his experience and insights as a teacher. Although reading it cannot increase my strength, it can broaden my horizons."

"It's actually a book written by the Second Hokage!" Sakura said in surprise.

Naruto was a little surprised to hear that the book was written by the Hokage, but he really had no interest in reading and studying.

Seeing that the topic was opened, Ye Lan couldn't help but say a few more words: "Naruto, isn't your goal to be Hokage? You should know that no matter which village the Kage is from, in addition to being very powerful, they are all very knowledgeable ninjas. Even Lady Tsunade is still constantly learning now."

"Ah! I understand. I'll go to the library to find this book when I get back." Naruto felt a headache when he heard about studying, and said while scratching his messy hair.

Sakura and Sasuke both laughed when they saw Naruto's appearance.

The food had been served and a group of people were eating when a man suddenly appeared beside their table.

Ye Lan didn't care. He saw this diner when he just entered the room. He had already sensed through his chakra sensing technique that he was a Genin. It depended on how Sasuke and the others would deal with it.

"Beautiful lady, I'm so lucky to meet you here. My name is Morino Idatsu-ten, what's your name?" Unexpectedly, the man came directly towards Sakura. Ye Lan looked at the reactions of the three people with interest.

Sakura was still a little overwhelmed, but Naruto instantly got angry and stood up, rolled up his sleeves and said, "What are you doing? Don't take this opportunity to chat up Sakura!"

"So your name is Sakura! Have you thought about your future life?" Idatsu-tei said directly without paying any attention to Naruto.

"What kind of life?" Sakura's face turned red. She didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

"Just give up being a ninja and become my bride!" Idade said very confidently.

"You bastard, I'm going to beat you up!" Seeing Naruto was about to attack, Sakura immediately spoke out to stop him. They, as ninjas, were not allowed to attack civilians, especially in other countries.

"Naruto, don't pay attention to this little thug, we still have a mission to do." Sasuke, who has become a Chunin, knows what is important and what is not, and spoke up immediately.

"Tsk, Konoha's ninjas are so boring. It turns out that being a ninja is an easy job." Idakuten looked around and saw Ye Lan, who seemed to be smiling, and his face immediately changed. "Just treat it as a joke. I'm leaving first."

"This guy..." Naruto saw that the other party had left and did not continue to chase him. He sat down again.

All of a sudden, everyone lost their appetite, and the proprietress came out and handed Sakura two bills.

"Two servings?" Sakura looked at the proprietress in confusion.

"The guy who just left said you were together and you paid the bill and left." The proprietress explained.

"This bastard actually played tricks on us!" Naruto, who had already calmed down, started cursing. Sakura was also angry as she didn't expect the man to be so excessive.

After taking a look at Ye Lan, Sasuke lay down and put his ear close to the ground. From the sound of footsteps, he could tell that they were running for some distance and the speed was not slow.

"Brother Ye Lan!" Naruto couldn't bear it anymore. He had to teach that kid a lesson and wanted to get Ye Lan's opinion.

"Lady Tsunade said that I will not direct your decision-making unless it is an emergency." Ye Lan took a sip of tea slowly.

"Let's go! Sakura! Sasuke!" Naruto called the two of them immediately after hearing this, preparing to catch up with Idade.

Ye Lan did not follow him up but continued eating. He was sure that he did not know the man just now. A ninja with such weak strength was no different from a new graduate. It was just his surname that caught Ye Lan's attention. He didn't know what relationship he had with Morino Ibiki.
