Naruto:The System's Shadow

The old man looked at Kaito, somewhat surprised, and said, "You're taking on a mission at such a young age?"

Kaito embraced his Ama no Murakumo sword and smiled, saying, "A ninja's strength isn't always measured by age."

The old man nodded in agreement, looked at him a few more times, and said, "Are you Uchiha Kaito?"

"How did you know?" Kaito touched his face in confusion. Did he have his name written on his face? He was very sure that he had never met this old man before.

To this end, he specifically sized up the old man, age about fifty years old. It was already very long-lived to live to this age in the Warring States period. He was wearing the Uchiha clan's usual black wide robe, and was very energetic. The most impressive thing was his left eye, which was completely sunken in, as if his eyeball had been dug out by someone. Kaito couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Seeing Kaito staring at his left eye, the old man was not angry, but smiled and said, "The Uchiha clan has produced two peerless geniuses, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Kaito, whose names have already spread throughout the entire family. At your age, coming to take on a mission in such a swaggering manner, your identity is not difficult to guess."

Laughing twice, he pointed to his left eye. Most people are very taboo about others staring at them when they are disabled, but he was different. Instead, he said proudly, "This left eye, about twenty-five years ago, when I was fighting desperately with the Senju on the battlefield. At that time, I was trapped by them, and the situation was critical. I awakened the Sharingan, but unfortunately, they were too many people, and I still couldn't beat them. Thinking that I couldn't die and leave my eye to the other party, I dug out my left eye myself and crushed it. I didn't expect that the clan's reinforcements arrived just as I was about to dig out my right eye. The clan thought of my loyalty, and no longer sent me to the battlefield, and gave me a job of issuing missions, until now."

Kaito listened silently. Although it was only a few words, he could feel the dangerous situation the old man was in at that time. He would not have done such a thing as self-destructing his Sharingan unless there was a shred of hope.

"Old man, I got carried away with my words, and forgot that you came to take on a mission. Come, come, you're taking on a mission for the first time, let me help you introduce it."

The old man smiled and, seeing Kaito nodded, began to introduce: "The family's missions are divided into two types. One is bounty missions entrusted to the family by other families or forces. For example, if a small family cannot do something, they can spend a lot of money to entrust us to do it. Then we will roughly assess the difficulty of the mission and issue it to the family's ninjas to complete it. The other type is the mission issued by the family itself, which is also called family missions. The reward and reward may not be as high as the bounty missions, but you can get ninjutsu scrolls. However, family missions are generally more dangerous, and sometimes they are very urgent and will be issued mandatorily, without allowing refusal. Hey, old man, I remember the last time there was a big battle with the Senju clan, at that time family missions were one after another, all the jonin and chunin who were not on the battlefield were sent out, and in the end, even children as big as you were sent out to perform missions, it was a terrible death."

Uchiha Kaito nodded, so that was the case.

"Also, according to the difficulty, we roughly divide the missions into levels. You see, the ones on these white papers are the lowest-level white-level missions, suitable for chunin to do, and the ones written in gray fonts are gray missions, suitable for special jonin to do. Above that are black missions, which are generally taken by jonin. Missions above the black level can only be taken by elite jonin level and above, and are not issued here, but are directly issued by the clan leader.

Of course, this is not absolute. If there is an urgent situation and there are not enough people, black-level missions will be delegated, allowing several special jonin to complete them together. You can take a look." He pushed some of the different missions in front of him forward.

Hearing this, Kaito carefully read the missions in front of him, white, gray, and black missions, and understood something in his heart. This was probably the prototype of the level division after Konoha was established, but the current level division was very general, and some even had misjudgments, far less accurate than the missions of Konoha and other ninja villages later.

He believed that the Senju clan also had a similar mission assessment model.

He casually read the white missions and found that most of them were relatively simple, mostly escorts or gathering intelligence, which chunin could completely handle, and the rewards were all money.

Kaito was not interested in this. His purpose was to find those escaped ninjas or ninjas on wanted lists to hunt down, in order to increase his points.

Without thinking, he put the white missions aside and looked at the gray missions.

The first piece of paper had a big "kill" written on it, and then circled in blood red, indicating an assassination mission, with words below.

Mission: Assassinate General of the Mingling Clan

Term: Valid within three months

Strength Analysis: The Mingling Clan is not a ninja family, but a force in the north of the Land of Fire, with three special jonin guards beside them, day and night, and a samurai, strength unknown.

Mission Difficulty: Gray

Mission Reward: 30,000 gold

Recommendation: Taken by five special jonin or two jonin.

After reading this, Kaito frowned. Everything else was fine, but what was the deal with the samurai whose strength was unknown? He remembered that the original work mentioned the profession of samurai, which was a profession eliminated by ninjas, and only existed in the Land of Iron.

After thinking about it, he put this mission aside. The current mission level division was really unreliable, and even the other party's strength was not clear, but the level had already been divided.

Of course, Kaito was confident that he could complete this mission alone, but it was completely unnecessary. There was no challenge in fighting against special jonin now, his purpose was to find trouble for jonin.

Thinking of this, he pushed the gray missions aside and directly read the black missions. The first mission made his eyes light up.

Mission: Kill a Rogue Blood Ninja.

Term: Before he escapes the Land of Fire.

Strength Analysis: Blood Ninja, former jonin of the Qiyuan Family, known as the Blood Ninja, because he likes to leave a bloody handprint on people after killing them, also known as Blood Hand. A month ago, he suddenly raped the eldest lady of the Qiyuan family for some reason and killed her cruelly, killing two special jonin of the Qiyuan family and injuring one jonin. Now he is on the run, and the Qiyuan family has issued a ninja world wanted order. Latest information, he appeared in the northwest of the Land of Fire a day ago, and is likely to escape to the Land of Earth.

Mission Difficulty: Black

Mission Reward: 80,000 gold

Recommendation: Because the Blood Ninja's strength is higher than that of ordinary jonin, it is hoped that two jonin will take action together, or one elite jonin will take it.

Kaito tore off this page of the mission and said, "I want to take this mission."
