Chapter 11: "Teacher, Have We Received the Merchandise?"

Chapter 11: "Teacher, Have We Received the Merchandise?"

Today is a sunny day. Although it's February, the sun makes people want to shed some layers of clothing, like that person nearby.

"Phew!"

Tobio wiped the sweat from his forehead. Watching the green-clad man who had just run by, he muttered to himself.

"When will I be as energetic as Might Guy every day?"

"Good morning~!"

Suddenly, a faint voice reached his ears. Looking towards the source, he saw Hyuga Hana approaching with a pale face. Her white eyes and pale cheeks made her look like a ghost.

Seeing her teammate's half-dead state, Yugao felt a chill. She raised her hand and weakly greeted her friend.

"Good morning, Hana!"

"You don't look too well either."

Seeing that Yugao also looked pale, Hyuga Hana smiled bitterly.

"I hope there are no more setbacks today."

"Yeah, I've been bedridden for two days. The other teams who graduated before us have already completed two or three D-rank missions."

"Three missions in two days?"

A familiar male voice interrupted their conversation. They both turned to see their teacher, Tobio Uchiha, approaching proudly.

"Yugao, Hana, have you heard about the legend of Konoha, about doing ten missions in one day?"

Hearing this, their pupils contracted sharply, and they looked at each other in amazement, thinking about the recent village rumors.

It was said that due to two major events that had recently occurred in the village, many villagers working outside returned to witness the Fourth Hokage's coronation and wedding.

Moreover, an elderly couple, possibly not having seen each other in a long time, took advantage of the night while their son was asleep to "fulfill their mission..."

According to the village gossip, one day... ten times...

???

Seeing their pale faces blush instantly, looking at the ground as if there was a treasure there, Tobio Uchiha also looked at the ground. Not seeing anything special, he withdrew his hands from his pockets and placed them on their foreheads, trying to check if they were ill.

"Ah~!"

"Ah~!"

Their sharp cries broke the park's silence. Seeing his students retreat two steps in unison, Tobio's hands were left in the air. Smiling awkwardly, he looked at the sparrows in the sky and sighed internally.

[These students are hard to handle. I did nothing, and they're already protecting their chests, ready to escape.]

"Teacher, sorry for being late!"

At that moment, Iruka arrived, panting, breaking the awkward atmosphere. Supporting his hands on his knees, he breathed heavily while bowing to Tobio to apologize. After a moment, not hearing Tobio ask why he was late, Iruka felt uneasy.

Does the teacher plan to punish me?

With that thought, he lifted his head to explain himself, only to see Tobio sitting on the ground drawing circles with a branch. Iruka blinked in confusion, then looked at his teammates.

"What happened to the teacher? Why does he have that constipated expression?"

"Hmph!"

Hyuga Hana snorted and dragged Iruka to her side, pointing at Tobio with disdain.

"Iruka, you just arrived, so you don't know what happened here. Just now, he, with a proud face, wanted to tell us a 'certain type' of gossip. Is that appropriate for a teacher?"

???

Iruka looked at Tobio, then at his teammates, confused.

"What kind of gossip?"

Hyuga Hana, visibly upset, looked at Tobio, her cheeks puffed out in anger.

"That gossip about the Konoha legend of doing it ten times a day! How can that be something to feel proud of? Even if it is something to boast about, he shouldn't say it in front of two girls."

With that, she kicked a stone on the ground. Weren't the Uchiha supposed to be cold and distant? Where did this cheeky Uchiha come from?

Ten times a day???

Iruka, touching his chin, thought out loud.

"Isn't doing it ten times a day something to be proud of? While I was at home, I researched our teacher. In his mission record, he completed 17 S-rank missions, 169 A-rank missions, 287 B-rank missions, 334 C-rank missions, and 3078 D-rank missions. That record of ten D-rank missions a day was set by him at seven years old."

How many... how many?

Hearing the number 3078, Hinata Hana's voice raised several tones, looking at Iruka in disbelief.

"Iruka, how many did you say?"

Iruka sniffed and looked at Tobio with admiration.

"3078, the demon of D-rank missions of Konoha. Then, the village added an unusual rule: except for team leader Jonin, no Jonin can accept D-rank missions in any form, or they will be sanctioned. Our teacher accepted missions even at a loss. Then, someone reported him, and the Third Hokage assigned Hyuga clan members to monitor missions and blacklist him."

"So..."

Hinata Hana, looking at Tobio with a downcast expression, murmured.

"Is that what he meant by 'ten times a day'?"

"What did you think he meant?"

Iruka looked at his teammate strangely. Sometimes he didn't understand what went through their heads. In school, girls' gossip was crazy...

"Teacher, I'm sorry."

Hyuga Hana, dragging Uzuki Yugao, approached Tobio. Seeing the circles drawn on the ground, they felt embarrassed.

"We misunderstood what you meant."

Clap! Clap!

Tobio dropped the branch, stood up, and shook his hands. Seeing their embarrassed faces, he smiled nonchalantly.

"I'm not resentful. If you have physical issues during a mission, the teacher can help modify your body structure. If in the future you don't want to have children, I can also perform sterilization surgery. Even you..."

Before finishing, seeing them tremble, Tobio ruffled their hair, smiling.

"It was a joke, don't be scared."

"Sorry, teacher..."

"Really, it was a joke. Let's go."

Tobio, taking the three of them, headed to the mission place. Initially, he became a medical ninja not just to combine yin-yang techniques, but also to get closer to Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Fugaku. They were demons. If he hadn't found the right moment, Itachi Uchiha wouldn't have been born. Who knows... maybe Mikoto would ask for his help for sterilization, or Fugaku... that would be fine too.

Upon arriving at the mission office, Tobio changed his expression to serious. Looking at the Hyuga clan member, he raised an eyebrow.

"I'm back."

Hmm?

Hearing the familiar voice, the Hyuga raised his head to see Tobio Uchiha. Recognizing him, his mind lit up.

"Uchiha Tobio?"

"Yes!"

Seeing the other nod, the Hyuga frowned.

"You know there are only C and D rank missions here. S, A, and B rank missions are assigned by the Hokage."

"Well..."

Tobio hugged his three students, leaning to rest his chin on Yugao's head, enjoying the aroma, smiling.

"I'm a teacher now, let me choose some missions."

???

The Hyuga noticed that Tobio was not alone, but with three children.

"How embarrassing..."

Seeing the Hyuga's questioning look, Hyuga Hana nodded with an awkward smile.

It seems their teacher is not very popular.

"Give it to me!"

"What?"

Tobio snatched the mission list while picking his nose, reviewing it.

Pet searching, behavior research, trash collection, pet searching, helping to harvest sweet potatoes, babysitting... the same routine.

After a moment, he pointed out some missions.

"Give me five cat searching missions, five pet searching missions, but no dogs. I hate dogs. Also, three trash collecting missions, but no babysitting. I hate mischievous kids. Oh, and one behavior research mission..."

"Teacher!"

When Tobio was about to continue choosing, someone touched his leg. Looking down, he saw Uzuki Yugao with a worried face.

"If you have something to say, say it, don't hesitate."

"Teacher, that's enough! Too many missions."

Tobio blinked and looked at the Hyuga in charge, doubting.

"Too many?"

"Heh!"

The Hyuga, seeing Tobio's innocent expression, bent down to pull out the mission scrolls and slammed them on the table, gritting his teeth.

"Uchiha Tobio, every time you come to accept missions, you make me feel like a shopkeeper."

"Thank you!"

With all the scrolls in hand, Tobio smiled at his colleague and the other ninjas as he left.

Gulp.

A ninja nearby, seeing the group leave with so many scrolls, swallowed hard, intrigued.

"Why can they accept so many missions at once?"

"It's Uchiha Tobio."

"So what?"

"Before, there were only three rules in the mission office, but since he became a ninja, they increased to eleven. Eight of them because of him."
