Rock~ rock~ sway~ sway, this is probably the whole feeling of sailing at sea, so alchemist Singed may have been a sailor before.
On the eighth day of leaving Konoha, they finally saw the gates of Konoha again, and the four were very happy. Because the continuous running around made the four of them a little tired, both mentally and physically.
After greeting Izumo and Kotetsu, they were about to enter the village, but the four suddenly stopped and looked back.
Three sallow and emaciated people ran towards Konoha, and when they reached the gate, they all fell to the ground. One of them struggled to raise his head before passing out and said, "Commission... mission..."
"Are they here to commission a mission? It seems we can't stand idly by." Kakashi scratched his hair, feeling troubled, and shouted, "Sakura."
"Understood." Sakura squatted down to check the bodies of the three people.
A few minutes later, the green light on Sakura's hand went out: "They are not injured, they just seem to be exhausted and overly frightened, and a little malnourished. According to their body data, they are just ordinary people."
"Then send them directly to the hospital. We still have to see Minato-sensei. This mission can't be completed just by submitting a report." Kakashi said, looking at Naruto.
Sasuke and Sakura did the same.
"Why are you all looking at me?" Naruto was confused at first, then understood, "Okay, it seems that Uzumaki Transportation Company has to open a first aid business."
As he said that, Naruto created two Shadow Clones and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to send them to the hospital.
"Done, let's go!" Naruto took two steps and found that his teammates were still staring at him.
Naruto was confused and asked, "What's wrong?"
Kakashi put his hand on Naruto's shoulder and said, "Hokage Office."
Sasuke put his hand on the other side and said, "I'm ready."
Sakura put her hand next to Sasuke's and stuck out her tongue: "Please!"
"...Are you too lazy to walk the last few steps?"
Naruto suddenly realized that these people wanted a DiDi Da Ming service.
"Then why didn't you let me fly you back directly from the Land of Snow?"
Kakashi said, "Because it's also my duty as a teacher to let you go out and see more of the world."
"Then now?"
Kakashi looked up at the Konoha gate, then pushed Naruto into the gate with Sasuke and Sakura, and said, "Aren't we already in the village now?"
"When did you three become so tacit..." Naruto complained, but still used Ninjutsu to take them to the door of the office—they couldn't fly directly to the desk every time, his old man also had the right to privacy.
"Knock, knock knock."
"Come in!"
Kakashi opened the door.
"Minato-sensei."
"Dad."
"Uncle Minato."
"Hokage-sama."
Four ways of addressing him, clearly indicating his status.
"Oh? It's you guys, you've worked hard on your journey!" Minato said with a smile, putting down the documents in his hand.
"This is the mission report." Kakashi briefly explained the unexpected situations encountered during their trip to the Land of Snow and the final outcome.
Although he knew Naruto had spoken with his family, he still mentioned all the important matters once.
"I understand, you handled this very well. The reward will be issued according to the highest standards for an A-Rank Mission."
Minato glanced through Kakashi's report, then stamped it and put it away, continuing, "I will arrange for people to handle the subsequent matters."
"Then we'll..." Kakashi didn't finish speaking when a rare beast pushed open the door and barged in.
"Mission accomplished! I let the pirates of the Mixed Stew Strait taste my fist full of love! If they can turn over a new leaf because of this, then the hot tears I shed for them will not have been in vain, ah ha ha ha ha..."
Guy rushed to Minato's desk like a green whirlwind, gesticulating wildly as he spoke about the mission's results, with an equally excited Rock Lee following beside him.
"Oh? Isn't this my dear friend Kakashi? It's been a long time! How about a long-awaited duel?" Guy hooked his arm around Kakashi's neck, raised a thumb, and flashed his blindingly white teeth.
"I refuse." Kakashi just wanted to go home and read a book as soon as possible.
"No~ Don't run away from the challenge of Youth! I've got it! Let's compare our missions this time! I just led my beloved students to complete a B-Rank Mission that exceeded the level of a Genin, you know~" Guy said triumphantly, "How about it? Did I beat you?"
Kakashi sighed, removed Guy's arm, and said calmly, "We just completed an A-Rank Mission."
After speaking, he left without paying attention to Guy, who was petrified on the spot. Sasuke and Sakura also followed, and Naruto waved to them, indicating that he had something else to do and they should go first.
At this moment, Neji and Tenten arrived breathlessly, knocked on the already open office door, walked in, and bowed together, saying, "We're sorry, Hokage-sama, Guy-sensei and Rock Lee were too rude!"
"It's okay, don't worry about it." Minato waved his hand with a smile, he understood Guy's personality and wouldn't get angry over such things.
"You completed your mission very well, take a good rest next."
"Fourth Hokage!" Guy suddenly revived, with two balls of flame burning in his eyes, "My Youth and my students will not lose to Kakashi, please give me a more difficult mission!"
"As expected of Guy-sensei!" Rock Lee took out a notebook he carried with him and wrote down Guy-sensei's words.
Neji and Tenten covered their foreheads, unable to bear to look: "Here we go again."
Minato showed an awkward but polite smile and advised, "I have received your request, I will arrange the mission, please go back and adjust your condition first, okay?"
"No problem, even if I'm adjusting my condition, I will do my best! Let's go, Lee, Tenten, Neji!"
Naruto watched happily from the side. To have this kind of employee who actively asks for overtime but you have to subtly persuade him to rest, Dad is really a good boss, a good boss like President Pei who cares about his employees.
"By the way, Tenten, stay for a moment." Minato called out to Tenten.
"Ah, yes!"
After Guy and the others left, Tenten opened her mouth nervously, "Um, Hokage-sama, Guy-sensei didn't mean any harm, he's just..."
Minato looked at the flustered little girl and smiled, "Don't be nervous, it's not about his matter."
"Huh?" Tenten was stunned, even more confused.
Minato took out a scroll and handed it to Tenten, "There is some knowledge about Sealing Technique and Summoning Technique in here. Take it back and study it carefully. After you learn it, come back to me, and I will try to teach you the Flying Thunder God Technique."
"Huh? Huh~~~~~"
Tenten dazedly took the scroll and left. She knew about the Flying Thunder God Technique, but she never thought she would have the chance to learn it. She made up her mind that she would stay up all night to read the scroll. This is my, Tenten's, youth!
"Ah, I was almost led astray by Guy-sensei and Rock Lee!" The little girl grabbed her dango hairstyle, walking down the street both happily and dejectedly.
