"Finally, I can get my first payment."
Asuma's enthusiasm, which had been waning due to boredom, returned.
"Yeah." Kurenai nodded slightly.
This payment needs to be distributed among the team.
She looked at Kiyoshi, who was walking over with the Jonin instructor.
She thought that Kiyoshi shouldn't be so short on money now.
Honestly, Kiyoshi's request for three months' worth of tutoring fees had almost emptied her little savings.
The group said goodbye to the shop owner and headed to the mission building to hand over the mission.
"This is your payment."
The staff in the building quickly counted the reward and distributed it to everyone.
Doing missions is like getting paid daily.
As long as you complete it, you get the money that day, and there's no delays.
"A little over a thousand ryō..."
Kiyoshi put the money in his pocket.
It just so happened that today's mission was about helping out at the shop, with little to do and good income.
But unfortunately, there aren't missions to do every day.
It's estimated that there will be no missions for several days.
The reward for a normal D-rank mission is between five thousand and fifty thousand ryō.
Helping out at a shop has a reward of just around five thousand ryō, and this money needs to be split equally among everyone.
Otherwise, for each person to get five thousand ryō, the reward would need to be twenty thousand ryō.
This doesn't even include Konoha's cut, which takes some platform fees.
D-rank missions are small tasks like finding lost pets, taking care of children, or even helping farmers harvest crops in the fields.
Who would be willing to spend so much money on these meager tasks?
Five thousand ryō at a time is already considered a very high cost.
Asuma said, "Kurenai, wanna go have some Barbecue? I'll treat you."
Asuma ran to Kurenai, wanting to have a celebration feast for their first mission.
"Kiyoshi, what about you?"
Kurenai turned to look at Kiyoshi and asked.
"I won't go." Kiyoshi shook his head.
Going to Barbecue costs at least two or three hundred ryō, and that's just for one meal.
In his first year as a hardworking Genin, Rock Lee had carried out 20 D-rank missions and 11 C-rank missions, with an income of about one hundred and ten thousand ryō.
And this money has to cover not only living expenses but also the daily expenses of a ninja.
Kiyoshi naturally wants to save as much as possible, as there are still many places where he needs money.
His ninja pouch only has two kunais, three shurikens, and a sword in a sealing scroll.
Apart from that, he doesn't even have military ration pills or smoke bombs, let alone other ninja tools.
"Then I won't go either." Kurenai shook her head.
"Ah, why?"
Asuma scratched his head.
What does Kiyoshi not going have to do with Kurenai not going?
...
A dozen days passed, and Kiyoshi an the others carried out another D-rank mission during this time.
The rest of the time, he was at home training.
"I have finally gotten the hang of it."
Kiyoshi channeled chakra to his chest, converted it into Fire chakra, and then surged it up from his throat.
Boom!
An oval fireball of about two meters in size, radiating scorching heat, spewed out of Kiyoshi's mouth.
'Now I can participate in the Chunin Exams too.' Kiyoshi thought to himself.
[Apprentice Fire Release Ninja (White)]
[Requirement: Successfully use a Fire Release ninjutsu once.]
[Progress: Completed]
[Effect: Your talent in Fire Release nature transformation increases by 10%.]
[Note: Can be upgraded.]
[Upgrade Route 1: Integrate it with Chakra Flow: Fire Release (White) and Strong Physique (White) to upgrade to Fire Release Genin (Green)]
This trait had appeared not long after he had started practicing Fire Release.
At that time, it was still at 1% progress. After this period of practice, Kiyoshi had already completed the progress bar.
The completion rules of the trait panel are very random.
Sometimes a new Trait is given directly, and sometimes you need to keep working hard to meet the requirements to get the Trait.
Kiyoshi deduced that most abstract things would directly meet the conditions.
And for things like exercise and practice, the conditions take more time, so there is a progress bar.
The only thing that can be clearly determined is that he can get the corresponding trait for nature transformation ninjutsu as long as he can get started.
And after fulfilling all the conditions or most of the conditions, an upgrade route is revealed.
It's just that the judgment is a bit strange.
For example, when Kiyoshi had acquired [Reading Absorption (White)] and [Basic Memory (White)], it did not show that the [Early Graduation (White)] was required to advance to [Academic Genius (Green)].
But at that time, when Kiyoshi had acquired [Apprentice Lightning Release Ninja (White)], the subsequent upgrade route was instantly shown.
[Upgrade Route 1 has been met, do you want to upgrade?]
A mechanical synthesized female voice without a trace of emotion sounded.
"Upgrade."
Kiyoshi immediately chose to advance.
The increase provided by white traits are not much. In contrast, green traits are much better.
And after upgrading, the white traits are still there, but they become gray, like they are locked, but the increase effect is still there.
Almost instantly, the trait completed the upgrade .
"You have acquired a new trait [Fire Release Genin (Green)]."
[Fire Release Genin (Green)]
[Requirement: Reach Genin-rank Fire Release.]
[Progress: Completed]
[Effect: Your meridian system will have better adaptability to Fire Chakra, increasing by 20% on the original basis.]
[Note: Can be upgraded.]
[Upgrade Route 1: Integrate it with Lightning Release Genin (Green) and Genjutsu Genin (Green) and Medical Genin (Green) to upgrade to Chakra Nature Transformation Master (Blue).]
"The first blue trait..."
Kiyoshi's eyes flickered.
"Medical ninjutsu is not a big problem, but this Genjutsu..."
Kiyoshi slightly frowned.
Since Nono had taken him as a disciple, she will definitely prepare a complete teaching process.
And even though he has the sharingan, genjutsu needs to be learned.
Only the basic genjutsu can be used with just instinct.
Higher-rank Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique, Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change, Izanagi, Izanami, etc, still need to be learned even though they are exclusive genjutsu of the Sharingan.
And these are all inherited within the Uchiha clan.
Who knows how long it will take for Kiyoshi to think about it and learn by himself?
In the original story, Sasuke was only able to use the basic functions of the Sharingan.
This shows the difficulties of lack of inheritance, and how difficult it is to not have someone to guide you.
From beginning to end, he only knew the most basic genjutsu.
If he had learned Izanagi, the winner of the battle with Naruto would have been hard to guess.
