Konoha's Tatsuya

Konoha, the Mission Hall.

Tatsuya was flipping through a list of C-rank missions, which detailed the currently available C-rank missions in the village.

After this period of "cheat-powered" training, Tatsuya's savings had been almost completely depleted. To continue his power-leveling, he needed to take on missions to earn money.

It wasn't that Tatsuya didn't want to accept higher-level missions, but his strength and ninja rank didn't allow it.

In Konoha, the classification of village missions was very strict. Ninjas of each rank could only accept missions of the corresponding rank. Jonin could accept all missions, including S-rank; Chunin could accept B-rank to D-rank missions; and Genin could only accept C-rank and D-rank missions.

Among them, S-rank missions were generally commissioned by a particular power, mainly involving the assassination of important figures, theft of classified information, and so on.

A-rank missions were also mostly commissioned by a particular power, mainly involving the protection of important figures, the pursuit of rogue ninjas, and so on.

B-rank to D-rank missions were generally commissioned by individuals. B-rank and C-rank missions had the possibility of encountering combat, while D-rank missions generally did not involve combat.

Tatsuya was currently only a Genin, so he could only consider C-rank and D-rank missions.

From the perspective of commission fees, Tatsuya naturally prioritized C-rank missions.

Tatsuya had also considered asking his team leader, Ichikawa Shin, to lead the 31st Squad on missions, but Sakawa and Yuuhi Teru were both immersed in intense training.

Two days ago, Tatsuya, whose strength had greatly increased, called the two to the training ground for a friendly spar and easily defeated the combined efforts of Sakawa and Yuuhi Teru.

Stimulated by this, the two vowed to learn the C-rank ninjutsu they had obtained as soon as possible and then redeem their defeat.

With no other choice, Tatsuya had to come alone.

However, after browsing the mission list, Tatsuya couldn't help but frown.

From the contents of the mission list, Tatsuya was confident that he could handle most of the listed C-rank missions; there should be no problem in terms of difficulty and strength.

However, these C-rank missions basically all had a requirement for the number of people, making it impossible for Tatsuya to accept them alone.

No wonder he had seen Konoha ninjas always going on missions in groups when watching Naruto; it turned out there were requirements for the number of people.

This made Tatsuya feel a headache. In the few months since he had come to the world of Naruto, he had had limited contact with ninjas, and there were very few people he could team up with for missions. Apart from Kyoko and the three members of the 31st Squad, Tatsuya couldn't find any reliable candidates.

Missions weren't child's play; there was always the possibility of losing one's life. Most ninjas were unwilling to team up with unfamiliar ninjas.

After thinking about it, with no other options, Tatsuya could only choose from the D-rank missions.

Mission: Find the White-Spotted Cat Mission Description: Mrs. Matsui lives in West Street, Building 10, Unit 2, in Konoha. The white-spotted cat is her pet of five years. The white-spotted cat disappeared from home 7 days ago, and Mrs. Matsui is very anxious. She s kind-hearted people to help her find the white-spotted cat. Mission Rank: D-rank Reward: 10,000 Ryo Contribution Points: 5 points Time Limit: Within 1 month Status: Not Accepted

Looking at the reward column, Tatsuya felt a little melancholic, but he still accepted it.

Even a mosquito's leg is meat! (A Japanese idiom - every little bit helps)

On March 1st, Konoha Year 48, starting with Tatsuya accepting the mission to find the white-spotted cat alone in the mission hall, his solo grinding mode officially began.

The mission to find the white-spotted cat took Tatsuya less than half a day to complete.

Finding a lost white-spotted cat might be difficult for other ninjas, but for Tatsuya, who possessed the bio-chip, it was simple.

He went to Mrs. Matsui's house, used the bio-chip to collect enough clues, and quickly analyzed and deduced the whereabouts of the white-spotted cat.

Tatsuya followed the clues and successfully completed the mission.

When Tatsuya returned to the mission hall to submit the mission and successfully received the 10,000 Ryo reward and 5 contribution points, he suddenly had an epiphany!

Instead of spending more time and energy on risky high-level missions, he might as well use that time to complete more D-rank missions.

In terms of individual mission rewards and contribution points, D-rank missions were naturally far inferior to C-rank and above missions.

But Tatsuya was highly efficient in completing D-rank missions, and he received the rewards and contribution points all to himself, without risking his life.

Where else could he find such a good deal!

And so, for the next month, many Konoha ninjas who frequented the mission hall witnessed a jaw-dropping scene.

Tatsuya began to frantically sweep through the D-rank missions issued by Konoha's mission hall.

On the bulletin board of the mission hall, in the D-rank mission section, Tatsuya's name appeared most frequently.

March 2nd, morning: Konoha Genin Akimichi Tatsuya successfully completed a D-rank mission, helping villagers drive away wild boars that were damaging the farmland.

March 2nd, afternoon: Konoha Genin Akimichi Tatsuya successfully completed a D-rank mission, assisting villagers in clearing the Baosheng Village canal.

March 3rd: Konoha Genin Akimichi Tatsuya successfully completed a D-rank mission, finding the cause of death of spring wheat seedlings.

...

Every time Tatsuya appeared, he either picked up a large number of D-rank missions or submitted several completed D-rank missions at once.

In just one month, Tatsuya alone completed 79 D-rank missions.

This number was almost close to the total number of D-rank missions completed by many stronger ninjas in their entire lifetime.

This scene truly stunned many people. Since the establishment of Konoha, no one had ever seen anyone complete D-rank missions with such efficiency.

However, Tatsuya's actions also aroused the dissatisfaction of many lower-level ninjas.

Even in Konoha, one of the five great ninja villages, the number of missions issued simultaneously in the mission hall was limited.

Tatsuya alone swept through so many D-rank missions, naturally reducing the number of missions that other Konoha Genin could accept. Many low-strength, commoner ninjas relied on these missions to make a living.

Soon, Tatsuya aroused the anger of this group.

Privately, some people had already labeled him as deliberately disruptive.

If you have the ability, go take on higher-level missions! Why are you competing with us for these?

With the crowd indignant, the matter was directly reported to the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Receiving the report, Minato Namikaze was somewhat amused and helpless. He could only dispatch an Anbu member to give Tatsuya a few words of warning, limiting the number of D-rank missions he could accept each month.

Tatsuya was a little depressed about this. He had finally found such a quick way to make money, and it was cut short just like that.

Unwilling to take a loss, Tatsuya spent a lot of effort and finally managed to wrangle two C-rank ninjutsu from Minato Namikaze.

One was Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall, and the other was Wind Style: Great Breakthrough.

These two ninjutsu, one offensive and one defensive, were perfect for enhancing Tatsuya's combat power.

During this month, while Tatsuya was frantically soloing D-rank missions, his strength was also steadily and rapidly improving.

The commission fees from the 79 D-rank missions were almost spent as soon as he received them, all used to buy food to support his and the green snake's training.

Both man and snake, under the enhancement of the Fujinhoin, had become major consumers of food.

However, although the expenditure was high, the results were also astonishing.

Now, Tatsuya had steadily reached the elite Chunin level. Both his physical fitness and his chakra reserves were almost at the limit of a Chunin.

The only thing Tatsuya lacked now was practical combat experience!

Moreover, a few days ago, Tatsuya clearly felt that the effects of the Body Activation secret technique and the Fujinhoin had weakened during his training, and his body also felt slightly bloated.

At first, Tatsuya was a little puzzled, thinking that there was a problem with his training.

Later, after using the bio-chip to investigate, he found the reason.

A ninja's body has its limits. Tatsuya was currently only a fourteen-year-old youth, and his body hadn't fully matured. With his aptitude, the elite Chunin level was already his limit.

To break through, he would have to slowly transform his body using the Body Activation secret technique and wait for his body to naturally mature.

In the short term, Tatsuya was temporarily unable to break through to the Jonin level.
