Chapter 11: 11. Legendary Pervert
Deep down in his mind, he just wanted to look at the legendary character of the Naruto world, the one and only 106 of that world. He was excited to have a good look at them.
...
"Hey! You got a mission for me?" Reko turned to the man at the chair who was supposed to be assigning missions to the shinobis.
"Why don't you go and meet the Hokage? She is calling for shinobis and assigning them missions by herself." The man replied to Reko after giving it a thought.
He was on his shift after the tragedy that had struck the village. There were lots of losses of lives from the civilian side as well as to the mission capable ninjas.
He did not want to have yet another youngster go out on a risky mission by himself in order to fulfill the village's need.
He suggested the young Chunin to go and meet lady Tsunade because he knew that she would choose an appropriate mission for him.
"Nice of him to directly send me to meet her."
Reko bowed as he greeted Tsunade, the fifth Hokage of his village. He was allowed to enter the room without waiting outside.
"Reko... You are a Senju??" Tsunade asked in surprise when he entered the room. She was not alone, even Jiraya who looked burly and taller than Reko appeared surprised.
"Yes, Tsunade sama. I have slight blood connection with the Senju, from my mother's side." Reko replied, he did not have much time to think of an answer.
He was looking at the beautiful yet revealing green dress called Haori, which Tsunade was wearing. Tsunade looked as gorgeous as he fantasised, and her bosom was really falling out of her cleavage.
"Hmm? A Senju, descendant of someone outside the family, well, there's a possibility." Jiraya who was about to go out stared at Reko with a scrutinising gaze as he came to a conclusion on his own.
There were so many shinobis in the Senju clan that it was hard to keep track of people outside of the main lineage. Reko must have been a grandchild of one of the average shinobis who decided to marry outside the clan.
Both Jiraya and Tsunade exchanged looks as they came to a similar conclusion.
"Good boy, wanna be my books mc? You appear to have a good taste." Jiraya commented on Reko when he saw him stealing glances at Tsunade's chest.
He is pretty average in the shinobi lifestyle. It would be better than being a cannon fodder that he would become a character in my book.
I can have him take care of my research, and just in case when I do get caught, I could just blame it all on him. Fantastic!!! I need to tempt him into it.
Jiraya looked at Reko with an intense gaze, his gut feeling was telling him that the weak looking average Chunin in front of him was good to make it big with his research.
Tsunade however looked pissed with Jiraya's attempt to corrupt one of the few people who might be slightly related to her lineage.
She stared with disapproval at Jiraya but looked satisfied with Reko's attempt to ignore the offer made to him by a legendary ninja.
...
"So you want a mission?" Tsunade asked instantly, signalling Jiraya that it was the end of their conversation and he should leave now.
"Yes Tsunade sama, I have been at the Chunin rank for a long time. I want to move up in rank." Reko replied to her, he wanted to appear as a motivated ninja who wanted to get stronger and grow in life.
He was choosing his words very carefully. But his mind had devious thoughts going on in it.
They look really big, 106 is quite a huge pair. Not to mention, she is really pretty too. I just wish I could be a part of Hokage's personal guards, that would be awesome.
Reko looked hopefully at Tsunade, he had hopes that she would not turn him down.
"Alright Tsunade, I am leaving. And yes, I would be taking that Naruto kid out of the village with me, for his training."
Jiraya left the room as he announced his departure and his intentions to take the nine tailed fox's host under his tutelage.
Tsunade did not object to Jiraya's intentions of training Naruto. She had predicted that things would develop in this direction.
Even she herself was tempted to teach that Naruto kid who resembled her brother and her dead lover Dan.
Tsunade nodded to his childhood friend Jiraya and once again began to concentrate on Reko's request.
According to her, it was not a good time for a Chunin to go out on risky mission.
But then again, Chunins were now the major force of her village and she needed them to take risks on the missions that were supposed to be completed by the now martyred Jounins.
However, Reko was different. He was a Chunin who seemed to possess a Senju lineage, though of a distant relative.
And most importantly, he seemed to have the determination to grow high in ranks and become a splendid ninja.
Tsunade did not care much about talent of her fellow shinobis, she knew that the determination to grow could make an idiot like Jiraya a Sainin.
"Right now, I want you to learn a few techniques with high requirements. If you are able to learn them in a week then I'd allow you to take part in the difficult missions.
Otherwise, I want you to train hard inside the village and try not to take dangerous missions which are obviously above your league."
Tsunade gave an ultimatum to Reko. She did not want a shinobi to throw away his life when he could grow safely in the village. Also, she felt like helping a distant relative of her clan.
"You are a Chunin... And you are a taijutsu fighter majorly while also keeping up with ninjutsu. Here, learn this jutsu and I'd allow you on mission with Jounin."
Tsunade threw Reko a scroll which likely contained a ninjutsu. Reko catched it and also heard a ding in his head, a quest from the system screen had finally came up.
He was expecting it to show up when he had met two of the legendary shinobis with Kage level strength.
