Dazna couldn't help but feel like he was stealing chickens and losing money. The rewards for missions in Konoha were not small. As the default strongest ninja village in the world, they received countless tasks every day. When the market conditions were favorable, the prices naturally rose.
In fact, Konoha's mission rewards were the highest among the major ninja villages. They were even one-third higher than the average salary per task in the other five major countries. Despite this, many people still preferred to release their tasks in Konoha. After all, Konoha provided guarantees. Even if a mission failed, they would send a second group of stronger ninja teams to complete it. If a mission failed three times in a row, the rewards would be refunded.
The other Ninja Villages of the Five Great Nations, such as the Land of Thunder and the Land of Earth, refunded mission rewards depending on the circumstances. On the other hand, the Land of Wind never refunded any money, regardless of whether the mission was completed or not. As for the Land of Water, which had recently been unsealed, they received very few missions, so their refund policy wasn't a topic of discussion.
"Okay, let's go!" Kakashi made the decision, and Dazna sighed helplessly. Releasing a mission in Konoha required a significant amount of money. The funds needed for a B-level mission were already equivalent to the entire income of the Land of Waves for a month. Dazna felt a twinge of pain at the thought. Furthermore, Kakashi and the others would have to calculate the interest. If they had known, they wouldn't have released any C-level tasks just to save money. But regretting it now was useless—they had to keep moving forward and hope for a safe journey.
As they continued their journey, Naruto unexpectedly did the same foolish thing as in the original story—stabbing the back of his hand with a kunai. This was his way of expressing determination. Sasuke, witnessing this scene, thought it was quite something. Naruto's willpower was still strong, despite his occasional foolishness. Not everyone had the courage to self-mutilate like Naruto.
After Sakura bandaged Naruto's hand, the five of them resumed their journey. It was at this moment that Naruto made an unexpected request to Kakashi. "Mr. Kakashi, can you teach me ninjutsu?" Hearing this, Kakashi, who had been focused on the latest version of Intimate Paradise, froze for a moment before turning back to Naruto.
"Ninjutsu?" Kakashi wondered. However, he noticed Naruto looking at Sasuke with a tinge of envy. Although Sasuke was strong, he possessed ninjutsu that Naruto and Sakura couldn't learn. This created a sense of envy within Naruto. Witnessing Sasuke effortlessly dispatching their recent enemy had widened the gap between them. "Ninjutsu!" Naruto exclaimed, realizing that if he wanted to learn ninjutsu, he could only do so through the village by completing missions and exchanging contributions for training. Finding a teacher or alternative means was unlikely.
"Mr. Kakashi, I also want to learn ninjutsu. I don't want to be left too far behind Naruto and Sasuke!" Sakura blurted out, her face blushing. Kakashi, who hadn't considered this aspect, looked at Naruto and Sakura with anticipation. He realized that Sasuke's presence was putting immense pressure on them. They worried about falling too far behind in the future if they didn't work hard. A team shouldn't have significant differences in strength
, or they would struggle to integrate as a whole.
With expectant eyes fixed on Naruto and Sakura, Kakashi sighed, "Since you both want to learn ninjutsu, let me teach you the simplest techniques first." He reached into his pocket and pulled out three peculiar pieces of paper, throwing them to Naruto, Sakura, and even Sasuke. "Let's start by testing your Chakra attributes."
Naruto's test revealed his wind attribute Chakra, which was expected. Sakura's test indicated water attribute Chakra. However, when it came to Sasuke, his Chakra possessed two attributes—fire and thunder. It was precisely what Sasuke had hoped for.
"That's perfect. It's time for dinner. Let's find a place in this forest to spend the night," Kakashi suggested. "By the way, I will teach each of you a different ninjutsu—one that suits your Chakra attributes." Sasuke was momentarily taken aback, wondering why Kakashi was treating them all equally. But Kakashi clarified, "You are all my disciples, so I will treat you the same. I don't favor one over the other."
Kakashi hoped that Sasuke would recognize his fairness, as it was essential to foster a strong bond among the team members. Sasuke nodded appreciatively, expressing his gratitude. Kakashi added, "These things are to be expected when you have a teacher. Now, I have another ninjutsu here that is very suitable for you, and only you can learn it. Don't you want to take a look?"
As the camp was being set up, Kakashi assigned the task to Sasuke and Sakura, instructing them to guard the surrounding area. Meanwhile, he began teaching Naruto Wind Style ninjutsu, specifically the Gale Palm—a simple C-level technique. Naruto was thrilled to learn it.
When it was Sakura's turn, Kakashi taught her a basic Water Style ninjutsu called Water Flow Wave. These were foundational techniques for both Naruto and Sakura. However, when it came to Sasuke's turn, he expressed his desire to learn Lightning Style—Shadow Clone Technique.
Kakashi had initially planned to teach Sasuke Chidori, but Sasuke surprised him by requesting the Shadow Clone Technique instead. "Very well," Kakashi agreed. "Shadow Clone it is." He then mentioned that he had another ninjutsu suitable for Sasuke, something only he could learn. Sasuke's curiosity was piqued, eager to discover what awaited him.
