Naruto: I have an attribute panel

Chapter 43: Man proposes, God disposes; Preparing for the First C-Rank Mission

Since receiving the illusionary magic data from the Kurama family, Taichi has had something more to do, and his days at the hospital are finally no longer so boring.

In the remaining two days, Taiyi also learned two illusion techniques included in the illusion technique manual—Magic Illusion: Tree Binding Kill and Fox Mind Technique.

What pleased Taiyi was that he successfully unlocked the Yin attribute nature change through learning these two illusions.

[Congratulations, you have learned the Magical Tree Binding Kill Lv1 (0/100)]

[Congratulations, you have learned Illusion Technique: Fox Mind Technique Lv1 (0/100)]

Congratulations, you have learned Yin attribute property transformation Lv1 (0/100)

Learning these three skills not only made up for Taiyi's shortcomings, but also allowed him to make use of his highest mental attribute, which not only enhanced his combat power, but also enriched his tactical options.

……

On this day, Taiyi's injuries were finally almost healed, and after a professional examination by Tsunade, he was finally able to be discharged from the hospital.

The moment Taiyi stepped out of the hospital, looking at the azure sky, the bustling streets, and the crowds coming and going, he felt as if he had been reborn, never before feeling that life was so wonderful.

"I never want to stay in this hospital again!" Taiichi thought to himself as he looked back at the hospital gate.

Outside the hospital, the team members were all waiting for Taiichi, and they all smiled when they saw him emerge. Uchiha Yohei was the first to run over, calling out before he even arrived, "Taichi, over here! We've come to pick you up!"

Saori Furukawa followed, leaving Captain Yamaguchi standing aside, silently watching the three team members talk.

"Taiyi, it's so good to see you out! We can do missions together again." Yangping didn't care about the occasion and spoke so loudly that passersby turned to look at him.

"Yeah, I'll get ready today and I can go take on the mission tomorrow." Taiyi chimed in, having been bedridden for the past few days in the hospital.

"Taichi, don't you want to rest a bit more?" Saori whispered a reminder from the side.

"It's alright, D-rank missions are all daily tasks, there's nothing dangerous about them." Taiichi looked at Saori and said with a smile, "Besides, Saori, we still have you guys, I can't be the one who holds us back!"

"Yes, yes, we're here for you! I'll help you, Taichi, don't worry!" Yohei said reassuringly, putting his arm around Taichi's neck. "Taichi, let's go! Captain Yamaguchi said he's treating us to snacks to celebrate your discharge from the hospital!"

"Is that so!" Taiichi looked at Captain Yamaguchi standing in the distance. "Yohei, is it because you wanted to eat the three-color dumplings that you persuaded the captain to treat us to snacks?" Taiichi joked.

"No way~~" Yangping blushed and quickly waved his hand to indicate that it wasn't him.

Saori, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled. Taiichi, seeing the situation, immediately understood. He had indeed guessed correctly.

The three chatted and laughed as they walked toward Captain Yamaguchi, and together they headed to the food street.

……

In the following days, Taiichi's life finally returned to peace.

The Eighth Squad was progressing with the number of missions at a rate of completing one D-level mission every two days. The rest of the time, they either trained individually or conducted group exercises under the leadership of Captain Yamaguchi.

Occasionally, Captain Yamaguchi would also instruct Taichi and the other two on some training techniques.

It's worth mentioning that, after Taiichi's persistent pestering, he finally learned the Shadow Clone Technique from Captain Yamaguchi.

Fortunately, having learned his lesson with the water clone technique, Taiichi didn't dare to be too reckless. He only created one shadow clone each day for swordsmanship training, and even then, dispelling the clone every night left him exhausted. At this point, he truly envied Naruto's physique; he was as resilient as a cockroach.

Two months passed in this leisurely manner until someone finally snapped.

"Ah~~ Mr. Yamaguchi, another D-rank mission. We've been doing D-rank missions for two months now!"

A complaint echoed throughout the mission hall, drawing everyone's attention to the source of the noise. Everyone wanted to see which reckless fool dared to make such a racket in the mission hall.

It's important to know that the Mission Hall is not only frequented by numerous ninjas, but also represents the face of Konoha to the outside world. All employers who come to Konoha to commission missions must go to the Mission Hall to complete their tasks.

Yangping's shout was so embarrassing that it made him look bad outside the village, but when everyone saw the people making the fuss, they just laughed it off.

The reason is simple: Team 8 is now quite well-known in Konoha.

As a team composed of graduates from the Ninja Academy, they were quite diligent in carrying out their missions. After all, other graduate teams still had a lot of time to train, while their team consisted of either "experts" who could graduate early or clan ninjas, making their team level a cut above the other teams.

But more importantly, their team had a unique Uchiha member. The other Uchiha ninjas were all aloof and rarely interacted with other ninjas. Uchiha Yohei, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. Compared to Obito's goofy personality, Yohei was easygoing and loved making friends.

In just two months, he has become able to talk to all the staff in the mission hall, making him a true social butterfly.

At this moment, Yangping realized he had caused trouble and waved his hands repeatedly to apologize to everyone who was looking over. Naturally, Taichi and Saori, who were standing to the side, also bowed and apologized, and then pulled Yangping to a corner.

"Captain, Yangping is right. We've been carrying out D-level missions for two months now, and we're familiar with everything we need to do. With our abilities, can't we take on higher-level missions?" Although he pulled Yangping aside, he still had to stand by Yangping's side when it came to choosing missions.

Saori stood to the side, tapping her index fingers together, and whispered, "I want to do high-level missions too."

When Captain Yamaguchi saw that his team members all had this request, he readily agreed. In fact, even if they hadn't asked, he would have taken on a C-level mission for them to practice on in the next couple of days.

It was unexpected that Taiyi and the other two were so patient; even the unconventional Yangping only raised his objection today.

"Okay, but there's one thing you must remember. C-rank missions are different from D-rank missions. C-rank missions are more likely to involve combat." Captain Yamaguchi said seriously to the group, and Taichi and the other two nodded repeatedly.

"Also, although the combatants are usually ordinary people or samurai, the danger is incomparable to that of a D-rank mission. When carrying out a mission, you must follow orders and not act on your own." This time, Captain Yamaguchi stared directly into Yohei's eyes and said.

"Hmm~ Hmm~ Hmm!" Yang Ping nodded repeatedly, but after a while he sensed something was wrong. He looked around, then said with a wronged expression, "Captain, you're not talking about me, are you?!"

Taiichi and Saori were both chuckling to themselves, and Captain Yamaguchi didn't answer him: "Alright, come with me and see what suitable C-rank missions we can take on."

The three of them followed happily, while Taiyi, who stayed behind, secretly gave Yangping a thumbs up, which made Yangping chuckle.

Actually, if Yangping hadn't brought it up today, Taiyi would have. After all, continuously carrying out these kinds of missions doesn't provide much training and is just a waste of time. The Third Shinobi World War is coming soon, and Taiyi needs to improve his strength as quickly as possible so he can better protect everyone.

In the mission window, Captain Yamaguchi was carefully flipping through the mission sheet. Taichi and the other two were also standing on tiptoe to look at the scroll. There was no way around it; the three of them were still too young. The tallest, Yohei, was only about shoulder height from Captain Yamaguchi, let alone Taichi, who was only 8 years old.

"Captain, Captain, how's this? Let's wipe out the bandits." Yang Ping pointed and gestured from the side.

"No, it's too dangerous. This is your first time carrying out a C-level mission. Pick an easy one," Captain Yamaguchi said without hesitation.

"Then this, this~~ and that one~~" Yangping continued babbling on and on.

Finally, "Captain, how about this one?" Taiichi pointed to a task.

At the same time, Yamaguchi Seisuke pointed to a mission and said, "This is it."

The two of them surprisingly chose the same task at the same time. They looked at each other and said, "Taiyi, that's great. Tell us why you chose this one."

Taiyi scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "First of all, it's close by, right next to the Land of Rivers. Also, it's an escort mission, and the items are just some large quantities of supplies. Although there is some danger, it's not worth hiring ninjas to intercept Konoha's escort team for such a small amount of stuff. This kind of mission is perfect for a rookie team like ours."

Yamaguchi Masasuke listened and nodded with a smile, praising, "Your analysis is very accurate, well-organized, and you've considered all the necessary points."

"Remember, from C-rank onwards, intelligence becomes increasingly important. You must learn to analyze the necessary intelligence from simple matters, as this is related to your future growth and safety," Captain Yamaguchi earnestly instructed.

Taiichi and the other two nodded frequently as they listened, knowing that this was Captain Yamaguchi's instruction to them.

After selecting the mission, Yamaguchi Seisuke led the three of them to accept the mission and obtain the mission certificate and the village exit permit.

Outside the hall, Captain Yamaguchi waved his mission token and said, "Go back and prepare everything you need to today. Don't forget anything. This is our first mission outside the village, so we need to make sure everything goes perfectly. Alright, meet at the village entrance at 8 a.m. tomorrow. Dismissed!"
