Escape From Konoha

"Oops, sorry, when I got up in the morning..."

Near noon, Kakashi arrived late.

However, before he could finish his sentence, Naruto asked impatiently: "Kakashi-sensei, has your friend met an old lady who needs help again?"

"I didn't expect you, Naruto, to have the potential to be a detective. Your reasoning is perfect."

Kakashi's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Naruto with the word 'unhappy' written all over his face in surprise.

"Asshole, it's enough to use this lame excuse once. If you use it so many times, you'll realize there's something wrong! Now that you know it's your fault, give me a good apology!"

After saying that, Naruto rushed over and hit Kakashi with his fist.

Kakashi dodged sideways, easily dodging Naruto's attack, and put his hand on Naruto's head, causing the word 'hic' to pop up on Naruto's forehead, and he clenched his fists harder, his face The upper skin is smiling but the flesh is not smiling.

"Don't be so grumpy. After all, I have all kinds of things to deal with here."

While stroking Naruto's head, Kakashi said in a gentle tone, not at all angry at Naruto's sudden violence.

"That's right, even if it's Kakashi-sensei's fault, attacking the teacher casually will only make you look rude, Naruto."

Sakura came to break up the fight and pulled Naruto out of Kakashi's grasp.

Sasuke looked on with a cold eye, completely uninterested in the play between Kakashi and Naruto.

He just put his hands in his trouser pockets, leaned his back against the wall, hummed softly, and ignored these farces.

"But, we have been waiting here for almost two hours, and we clearly agreed to meet at nine o'clock..."

Naruto folded his hands on his chest and lowered his head with a depressed expression, not wanting to pay attention to Kakashi.

"Sorry, I really have something to do in the morning... Well, it's time to eat anyway. I'll treat you to ramen at noon, so you can eat as much as you want."

"Really?"

The depression on his face was wiped away, and Naruto suddenly looked at Kakashi with excitement, his eyes full of expectation.

This kid is really simple and easy to understand. Seeing Naruto with such sincere eyes, Kakashi sighed slightly in his heart.

Then he nodded and said with a smile: "Teacher, I will let you eat as much as you want, but you are not allowed to waste food."

"Great! Long live Kakashi-sensei!"

Then Naruto's whole mind was only about eating ramen.

Even the matter of Kakashi being late was instantly forgotten by him.

This scene left Sasuke and Sakura speechless.

What a super idiot to be bought off so easily.

However, Sasuke and Sakura also felt that they were hungry, so neither of them refused Kakashi's treat.

Naruto walked at the front of the team, as if drooling from his mouth, and led the team to Yile Ramen Restaurant.

"Uncle Hands, bring me a huge portion of miso char siu ramen!"

In the Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant, Naruto yelled at the owner of the Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant.

"Oh, it's Naruto. A huge bowl of miso char siu ramen, no problem."

Turning his head and seeing a familiar figure, Shouda happily agreed.

"Sorry to bother you. Give me a big bowl of miso char siu ramen too. I'll be responsible for the ramen this kid eats."

Kakashi walked in after Naruto, and greeted Hand politely.

"Kakashi-san and Naruto know each other?"

Shou Da was quite shocked.

Because Kakashi is also a frequent visitor to Yile Ramen Restaurant, so Teta and Kakashi are also familiar with each other.

Even after joining Anbu, Kakashi would occasionally come to eat ramen every month.

"Of course, Kakashi-sensei is now my guide Jonin."

Naruto said from the side.

"So that's it. Then Naruto, you are really lucky to be taught by a celebrity like Mr. Kakashi. This is a good thing that many ninjas can't ask for."

Teida lamented Naruto's good luck.

"Is Kakashi-sensei famous?"

Naruto heard Teta say this, and looked at Kakashi suspiciously.

There is no clue that this teacher who always likes to be late is a celebrity in the village.

"You are the only one who doesn't know this. You are too negligent to the things around you."

Sasuke also came in from outside, followed by Sakura. After hearing Naruto's suspicious words, he glanced at him indifferently.

Only a very nervous guy like Naruto would not know the importance of Kakashi in Konoha Village.

The ANBU minister, the second-generation White Fang, the third-generation Hokage's right-hand man, is no longer an ordinary famous ninja.

Even on the desks of various village shadows, Kakashi is the focus of the high-level officials, and cannot be compared to ordinary minor characters.

"That, actually I don't know either."

Sakura smiled awkwardly and lowered her head guiltily.

Sasuke was startled for a moment, then exhaled helplessly, saying nothing, and just sat aside.

Not sure if she had offended Sasuke somewhere, Sakura sat down a little depressed.

The tacit understanding of this team... is really difficult to cultivate. Kakashi scratched his head in distress when he saw this scene.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. You are all Mr. Kakashi's students. You will always understand. Don't look depressed. So, what kind of ramen do you two want to eat?"

Tezuda laughed and comforted Sakura who was in a bad mood.

"Just give me the same one as Kakashi-sensei."

Sakura cheered up.

"Same as above."

Sasuke cherishes words like gold, and apart from sweets, he is not very picky about food.

"Okay, let's do it now."

Shou Da smiled and walked into the kitchen to get busy.

Naruto's stomach has been growling for a while, but he still hasn't seen the handmade come out of the kitchen. It should take a while before it is ready.

"Speaking of which, what kind of celebrity is Mr. Kakashi?"

Bored left and right, Naruto brought the topic to Kakashi. He could still see a little bit of the hand hitting and Sasuke's abnormal reaction.

So, his eyes were fixed on Kakashi.

"Well...it's not a big deal."

Kakashi said casually.

Sasuke poured himself a cup of hot water and said in a calm tone: "If the ANBU minister is not a big shot, then there are no ninjas in Konoha who can be called big shots."

An inadvertent sentence made Sakura's body tremble, and she looked at Kakashi beside her in shock.

If she remembers correctly, the so-called Minister of the Anbu should be a senior cadre who manages the entire Anbu organization.

Even in front of Hokage, he is a celebrity ninja who can speak.

If Sasuke didn't say this, she wouldn't know that her mentor, Jonin, is such a powerful person.

"Anbu...what kind of minister? Are you very powerful?"

Naruto seemed to doubt the weight of this title.

Because he just felt that he had heard of the title of Anbu somewhere, but he didn't seem to have heard of it, so he couldn't react for a while.

"I'm telling you, how little common sense do you have? The ANBU department should have been mentioned in the school textbooks. They are the right-hand men of the Hokage-sama, and are important figures who have risen to the upper echelons of the village."

Sakura glanced at Naruto helplessly.

She didn't know how Naruto, who lacked common sense, passed the school's graduation exam.

Moreover, in the guidance battle of the previous graduation exercise, the advanced avatar technique that can change entities was used.

And on the basis of the avatar, she can use the transformation technique again to change into her appearance and successfully frame Kakashi.

In Naruto, Sakura sees a lot of conflicts and conflicts, some of which cannot be explained clearly.

"Ah! Is that so?"

Naruto finally reacted.

As soon as Hokage was mentioned, his whole mind cleared up a lot.

"What else do you think?"

"That is to say, if I become Hokage in the future, Mr. Kakashi will be my subordinate, right?"

No matter how Sakura told her, it was a pity that Naruto's brain circuit was not on the same line as hers.

Kakashi, Sasuke: "..."

Becoming Hokage, this idiot really dares to think about it.

"When I become Hokage in the future, I must correct Kakashi-sensei's problem of always being late."

Naruto seemed to have imagined his future as Hokage and laughed.

"This kind of unrealistic fantasy should wait until you become Hokage."

Kakashi didn't want to talk to Naruto because he might lower his IQ and be defeated by Naruto using his rich experience.

While several people were talking, the ramen was also prepared by hand, and four large bowls of miso barbecued pork ramen were placed in front of the four of them.

"Okay, everyone, please enjoy."

Hand hit said with a smile.

"Thank you, uncle! Then, I'll start!"

Naruto rubbed his hands, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating.

Seeing that Naruto loved the ramen he made so much, a smile of satisfaction appeared on Teida's face.

To make every customer satisfied with the ramen you make is Suda's biggest pursuit in his life.

"Seeing Mr. Kakashi bring his students here to eat ramen, I can't help but recall the scene when Mr. Sakumo brought his team members here for the first time more than 20 years ago. The ramen at that time was also I did it."

Seeing Kakashi and the other four eating the ramen he made, Teida suddenly remembered the long-lasting memories in his heart.

One day more than twenty years ago, a man with silver hair and a short sword on his back brought three young boys and girls to Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant to eat ramen. It is exactly the same as the current scene.

However, the people are completely different.

The father was replaced by a son.

The three boys and girls who were still young in appearance and temperament back then have grown up and bid farewell to Konoha.

"That's all old history. I can't help but remember you so clearly."

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and glanced helplessly at his hand.

"After all, he is the ninja known as Konoha White Fang, so it would be difficult not to remember him deeply."

Over the years, Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant has welcomed countless customers.

For some guests with special status, hand tapping is basically remembered.

Besides, when he was still young, Konoha White Fang was a well-known hero in Konoha.

Even ordinary people like them, who are not ninjas, have all heard and witnessed those heroic deeds.

"makes sense."

Kakashi smiled and said no more.

"Who are you talking about?"

Naruto looked over with curiosity on his face.

"It has nothing to do with you, just eat your ramen in peace."

Kakashi glanced at Naruto.

"What, Kakashi-sensei, you are too appetizing."

Naruto looked at Kakashi angrily.

"After eating ramen, there are still tasks to do. Don't you want to do the task? This is your first task. Don't put your energy into unnecessary situations."

Kakashi said this, successfully diverting Naruto's attention elsewhere.

For the ninjas of Naruto's generation, the deeds of Konoha White Fang are too long ago.

Moreover, that is not a glorious thing.

Over the years, few people have mentioned this past event. This name does not appear in textbooks.

Therefore, even a top student like Sakura has never known the meaning of the title Konoha White Fang, and has never heard of this character.

Everything is coldly carved on the tombstone. It also means that everything ends there.

There is no need to release it from the dark box.

Sasuke looked thoughtful, but he just glanced at Kakashi and said nothing.

◎

After the four of them ate ramen, they walked outside to the road.

"It feels really good to eat, Kakashi-sensei. Please give me dinner, too."

Naruto licked his tongue, shamelessly wanting Kakashi to treat him again at night.

"Hey, if you always eat ramen like this, it will lead to nutritional imbalance, and your body will have problems."

Kakashi gave Naruto a helpless look.

"I don't eat ramen every day..."

Naruto started to defend.

"Then what did you eat at noon and night yesterday and the day before yesterday?"

Kakashi asked.

Naruto froze for a moment, scratched his head embarrassingly, not daring to look at Kakashi.

"Really, you'd better eat something else. No matter how delicious ramen is, don't eat it every day."

"Understood, Kakashi-sensei, you are so annoying."

Naruto said impatiently.

"I'm doing this for your own good..."

"Okay, Kakashi, ignore him, you have to go to the task next? We don't have time to chat here."

Sasuke interrupted the conversation between Kakashi and Naruto.

Kakashi nodded, knowing that it was time for these brats to get in touch with ninja missions.

So, with the three people watching, Kakashi coughed and took out a scroll from his ninja bag. It was the seventh team mission scroll given to him by Hiruzen, the Hokage.

He had read the missions in the scroll beforehand, so he said directly: "Because you are still novices, I will not give you too difficult missions. The first mission you take is the simplest D-level mission. Go to the designated area. , clean up the garbage in the river."

"What kind of mission is this? Kakashi-sensei, are you looking down on us? Picking up trash is not what a ninja should do, right?"

The word 'unwilling' was clearly written on Naruto's face.

Picking up trash and stuff like that was not the ninja life he wanted at all.

"But, this is the mission that genin can do. Moreover, don't underestimate these D-level missions. Although they are simple, they are not easy to do at all. No matter who it is, they always start with the simplest missions at the beginning. Yeah, don’t be picky here.”

"Damn it! Sasuke, please say something. Do you want to pick up trash too?"

Naruto prepared to drag Sasuke into the water.

Sasuke said calmly: "No, I agree with Kakashi. It is also good for us to use the simplest D-level tasks to practice our skills first. It is a difficult task at the beginning. Kakashi has no problem, but we Three, and the entire army might be completely wiped out."

Moreover, these simple tasks are certainly not done just for the sake of completion. It's just to hone the team's ability to work together.

How can three people complete one thing effectively and quickly? If they can't even do small things well, let alone a difficult combat task.

That was simply not a task that a rookie team could handle.

Furthermore, he only had a preliminary understanding of Naruto and Sakura's abilities, and he didn't know much about the more specific things.

Based on this situation, he did not feel that the D-level mission was a simple waste of time.

Only people who don't know the meaning behind D-class tasks would think that such a simple task is meaningless.

"It makes sense, Sasuke."

Kakashi said in a complimentary tone.

"I also agree with what Sasuke-kun said, Naruto, please don't cause trouble."

Sakura unconditionally chooses to support Sasuke.

"ok, I get it……"

With no one supporting Naruto, Naruto had no choice but to give up and do the D-level mission that Kakashi received.

…

Because the garbage in the river has not been cleaned up in this area for a while, a lot of dirty garbage has accumulated in the stream.

Fortunately, none of the three Narutos are spoiled children. Even Naruto, who is the least good at housework, can actually take care of himself. At most, he seems a little clumsy.

"This is the area. Okay, hurry up and get rid of the garbage. The trash cans are placed here."

After saying that, Kakashi walked to the shade of the tree, leaned against the tree, took out the book "Intimate Love in Paradise" and began to read it with gusto.

"...That's not a serious book, is it?"

Naruto saw the book "Intimate Paradise" in Kakashi's hand. When he once transformed into an adult and went to the bookstore to pick up bad books, he also saw the books in this series, which were placed not far away. The label also says something like ‘18 Prohibitions’.

But since it was all text, Naruto was not interested.

What he likes is the catalog of beautiful models with rich and plump patterns.

Just looking at the text, it is too boring, how can there be a colorful bikini beauty who looks refreshing.

"Why do you know this Naruto?"

Sakura said.

"Uh... ahaha, what... let's pick up the trash quickly. I love picking up trash."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Sakura to ask, Naruto directly took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers, stepped into the stream with his bare feet, and began to clean up the garbage in it.

"Really, this guy Naruto..."

Shaking her head helplessly, Sakura followed Naruto's example, took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, and walked into the stream.

"Sasuke-kun, won't you take off your shoes?"

Sakura looked at Sasuke who walked over without taking off her shoes and asked in surprise.

"No."

Walking to the shore, the depth of the stream is not deep, so bending down and reaching out can completely clean the garbage out of the stream.

So, under Sakura's surprised gaze, Sasuke walked directly to the surface of the water on foot, bent down to clean up the garbage, and didn't get a drop of water on his body.

"W-walk on the water!?"

Such a scene made Sakura extremely surprised.

Naruto also noticed Sasuke's movements and began to yell: "What's going on? How did you, Sasuke, stand on the water?"

"Is it difficult to hold back?"

Sasuke's lips curled up in a relaxed and carefree manner, which made Naruto very jealous and dissatisfied.

Why does this bastard have to act cool even when picking up trash?

It was the same when I was in school, and the eyes of all the girls in the class were attracted.

What a stinker!

"What's the use of just standing on the water? Look at me!"

With that said, Naruto directly formed a seal, and with a bang, twenty shadow clones appeared in one breath.

"Everyone, come on together and let this stinky guy see our power!"

"Oh! Come on!"

All the clones of Naruto shouted loudly and began to clean up the garbage in the river with all their strength.

"idiot."

Sasuke shook his head and ignored Naruto's somewhat idiotic behavior.

"Naruto, this kid is quite motivated. It seems that this task will be completed soon."

Kakashi, who was resting under the shade of a tree, smiled when he saw Naruto's energetic look.

After a while, with the help of Naruto's shadow clone, the garbage that originally took three hours to clean up now only took half an hour to clean up the garbage in the river and make it clean.

"How about it, Kakashi-sensei, I'm really amazing!"

After cleaning up all the garbage, Naruto ran directly to Kakashi to ask for credit. After speaking, he gave Sasuke a provocative look as he walked slowly.

"Of course, Naruto performed best in this mission."

Kakashi complimented Naruto unceremoniously, making Naruto scratch his head in embarrassment and giggle.

"Then, let me see the next task... is to help nearby farmers grow rice."

"give it to me!"

A large group of Naruto rushed out in a hurry.

Sasuke and Sakura had no choice but to follow, leaving Naruto to complete the task alone while they enjoyed the results. They were not so shameless yet.

The afternoon passed and it was dusk.

Kakashi brought the exhausted Naruto and the three of them to the Hokage Building. He went in alone and came out after a few minutes.

"Here, this is the reward for you three to complete the mission."

Mission rewards are an important source of funds for ninja life.

Therefore, every ninja attaches great importance to the reward of the mission.

Even a young man like Sasuke, who is not short of money, attaches great importance to the first money he earns.

This is very different from the somewhat restrictive feeling of using a family inheritance.

And because of Naruto's shadow clone, they completed nearly four D-level missions in one afternoon. When Kakashi went over to report, even the Third Hokage was surprised.

After knowing that it was the work of Naruto's shadow clone, Hiruzen, as the Hokage, felt relieved. Although his brain is a little dull, he is not vague at all when doing tasks. He is exactly the talent Konoha needs.

Therefore, the cumulative reward for several D-level tasks is more than the reward for a single D-level task.

Kakashi would withhold half of the full 60,000 taels of remuneration and put it in his pocket as a guidance fee, and the remaining 32,000 taels of Naruto would be divided equally among the three.

"This is too unfair, Mr. Kakashi, you haven't done anything all afternoon, have you?"

Not only Naruto, but even Sasuke and Sakura frowned.

It would be fine if Kakashi worked with them, but Kakashi just took half of the reward after just taking a leisurely afternoon. They worked so hard for a long time and only got so much, which made them feel very uncomfortable. Balance, feeling the insidiousness of the adult world.

"I've said it all, this is the guidance fee for guiding the jounin. Don't even think about it, I should pay as much as the appearance fee for a jounin."

Kakashi spread his hands.

"Damn it, when I become Hokage, I must change this unreasonable rule!"

Naruto said viciously.

"Then work hard, continue the task tomorrow, and gather at the old place at nine o'clock in the morning."

I didn't do anything and spent a leisurely afternoon and got thirty thousand taels for free. When I think about it, I can continue to get countless rewards from Naruto and the other three. In total, it's a considerable amount of money. Kakashi suddenly liked the job of coaching jounin.

This life of free prostitution tasks is more enjoyable than imagined.

With a good mood, Kakashi's figure gradually faded away under the sunset, leaving behind the three people who looked unwilling and depressed.
