Chapter 19 - Chapter 19

The second day of the C-rank mission.

  At nine o'clock in the morning,

  Qingming arrived in front of the Hokage building on time.

  Before he approached, Ryosuke's voice came from afar.

  "Qingming, here!"

  Qingming looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ryosuke waving his arms and Mizutani Shizuko standing quietly beside him.

  So he walked over quickly.

  "Qingming-kun."

  Seeing Qingming coming, Mizutani Shizuko whispered.

  "Yeah, Shizuko."

  Qingming nodded and responded.

  "Qingming, why are you here on time again? Can't you come earlier?"

  Ryosuke looked at Qingming who was not in a hurry and complained.

  Qingming knew that the other party had no ill intentions, so he replied casually: "You came early. The teacher said to gather at nine o'clock, and it's not even nine o'clock now."

  "Ah!"

  Hearing this, Ryosuke sighed lightly and muttered speechlessly: "You are so mysterious all day long. You leave after completing the mission. I don't know what you are doing."

  'What are you doing? Of course, you are practicing. '

  However, you only need to know these things yourself, and there is no need to say them out.

  Therefore, Qingming pretended not to hear him and waited quietly for Guchuan's arrival.

  During this period, he did not forget to gather a small amount of chakra under his feet to brush up his proficiency in "chakra control".

  Although this is not as efficient as climbing a tree or treading water, it can be done anytime and anywhere, so the progress is not bad.

  Qingming estimated that in four or five days, he would be able to upgrade to level 3.

  By then, he could save 15% of chakra.

  However, it would be more difficult to go further.

  Qingming has vaguely felt the limit of this method of brushing proficiency.

  When it reaches level 3, it may be difficult to accumulate proficiency simply by gathering chakra under the soles of the feet. Even if it is possible, the efficiency will probably be greatly reduced.

  After that, maybe he will have to find some other methods to train.

  As for the goal,

  Qingming roughly has it - that is the chakra line used by the puppeteer of the Sand Village to control the puppet.

  It is not a simple matter to condense chakra into such a thin line and control it flexibly and freely. The chakra control required is definitely not low.

  If you can get the corresponding training method, you will definitely be able to improve the level of 'Chakra Control'.

  However, these are all later.

  At this stage, the focus is still on awakening the Sharingan.

  ·······

  At nine o'clock.

  A figure appeared silently.

  It was none other than Furukawa.

  "Teacher!" ×3

  Seeing the person coming, Qingming and others hurriedly greeted him.

  "Well."

  Furukawa nodded, his eyes swept across Qingming's feet, and then he said: "Since we are already here, let's go in."

  After that, he walked towards the Hokage Building.

  Qingming and others hurriedly followed.

  After passing through the door, everyone came to a spacious hall.

  There was a circle of wooden counters in the hall, and behind the counters sat a Chunin, who was the staff responsible for reviewing and issuing tasks.

  Qingming and his group walked towards it.

  On the way, Ryosuke asked boredly: "Teacher Furukawa, what mission are we taking this time, picking up trash or taking care of children?"

  "No."

  Furukawa said without turning his head: "We are taking a C-level mission this time."

  "What?"

  Hearing this, not only Ryosuke was shocked, even Qingming showed some surprise.   

  You know, in Konoha, a newly graduated Genin usually has to perform more than eight D-level missions before he is allowed to take on C-level missions.

  This is also the minimum threshold for taking the Chunin exam.

  Generally speaking, D-level missions do not involve combat, and are mainly for rookie Genin to practice, and are basically trivial matters.

  C-level missions will involve combat.

  Although there will be no battles with ninjas, there is a high possibility of encountering bandits, mountain bandits, robbers, gangsters and other thugs.

  Therefore, it is not absolutely safe.

  In the past half month, they have only performed four missions in total, and they were all D-level, which does not meet the conditions for taking C-level missions.

  'It seems that Konoha is going to speed up the growth of our group.'

  Qingming came to this conclusion almost in an instant.

  And this also made his heart, which had finally calmed down, feel a little more urgent again.

  Konoha did not send them directly to the battlefield, but it did not think about training them step by step.

  If he was right, it would not be long before their group would go to the battlefield.

  "Great, we can finally leave the village."

  Looking at Ryosuke who was still excited, Qingming didn't say much, but just followed behind Guchuan quietly.

  Although the other party was his companion, he didn't need to remind him of everything, and the other party also needed to grow up.

  In front of the counter.

  After talking with the staff, Guchuan got a scroll.

  After opening it, there was a task inside.

  Task: Suppressing bandits

  Content: There is a group of bandits entrenched on Xiaohei Mountain, which has a huge impact on the business road below the mountain. It needs to be eliminated as soon as possible.

  Level: C-level

  Requirements: Kill all bandits.

  Reward: 75,000 taels'It

  turned out to be a direct combat task. It really pays more attention to actual combat ability?'

  After reading the content on the scroll, Qingming glanced at Guchuan and muttered in his heart.

  From the content of the survival exercise, it can be seen that compared with other teachers who pay more attention to students' character, Guchuan obviously pays more attention to actual ability.

  For the same C-level task, direct combat tasks are obviously more difficult than escort tasks.

  After all, the former is almost certain to involve fighting, while the latter may be safe and sound.

  Bandits and robbers are also human beings, and they are also afraid of death. When they see that the target is guarded by ninjas, they may give up.

  So it is possible to avoid fighting.

  In this case, the novice Genin who performs the task only needs to bear the psychological pressure, and does not need to fight in real life.

  On the contrary, direct combat tasks are different. They really need to fight with real swords and guns, and blood will inevitably be seen during the process.

  Logically speaking, even if you accept a C-level task, you should start with the easy ones and then the difficult ones, but Furukawa obviously has no such intention and starts with the most difficult ones.

  This will inevitably cause greater pressure on the Genin.

  Just like now, after reading the content of the task, Ryosuke, who was excited and shouting just now, immediately quieted down, and Mizutani Shizuko beside him also had a pale face.

  After all, they are children around ten years old. Even if they have learned a lot of killing skills in the ninja school, they are still a little hesitant when it comes to killing people.

  Let alone them, even Qingming, an adult, will inevitably have a wave of emotions in his heart after knowing what he is about to do.

  As a young man who grew up in a peaceful era, Qingming has an instinctive reverence for life.

  Even if he traveled through time and accepted the memories of his previous life, it was not so easy to break the three views that had been set.

  However, he also knew that in the ninja world, where life was worthless, if he could not break through the psychological barriers, then only death would greet him.

  In order to protect himself, he could only let his fellow Taoist die rather than himself.

  What's more, these mountain bandits were not good people. Killing them would also eliminate harm for the people, so there was no need to have too much psychological burden.

  As if he had convinced himself, Qingming breathed a sigh of relief and his mood gradually calmed down.

  Looking at the three people who were silent, Guchuan did not say anything to comfort them, but just ordered: "Go back and organize your equipment now. Meet at the entrance of the village at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Remember, don't be late."

  After that, he left the hall with a flash.

  Looking at Guchuan who disappeared without a trace, Qingming retracted his gaze and looked at his two companions who were at a loss. He also did not say anything to comfort them. He just said, "I'm leaving first," and then walked away.

  Looking at Qingming's back, Ryosuke raised his hand and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he gave up in the end.
