Kenji said goodbye and quickly disappeared from the training center, Ayume looked at this and said: "He's really not good with people, he leaves as soon as he finishes what he has to do and doesn't even talk to his students."

Dazen laughed and said: "He seems busy, maybe that's it, don't forget that Konoha is in a complicated situation at the moment."

Ayume agreed, but then furrowed her eyebrows and said: "I understand that, but he could have gone easier on us, in the fight several times I felt like I was going to faint from his blows, we are still children."

Dazen agreed with this point, it seems that the stronger a ninja the more he likes to beat children, Hideki looked at the two and said: "I think the teacher wanted to get us used to facing strong opponents, that's why he used a little more force against us.'

Ayume replied: "Maybe, well then I'll go home, I considered asking you guys to eat somewhere since we're a team, but I'm too tired, all I can think about is sleeping."

Hideki said: "We can go another day, no problem."

Dazen also agreed and said goodbye to the other two and started heading towards his house while thinking, 'The fight was better than I imagined, the other two can be as strong as me, this helps me a lot, if I had bad companions It would be difficult to survive risky situations and Kenji-sensei is quite strong, so I don't think I'll have any problems on the missions.'

'Now that I'm a genin I have to master more powerful jutsus if I want to get stronger tomorrow I'll go to the village library and look at the Rank D and C jutsus.'

Dazen had already finished the first step of chakra nature change training and had already started the second step so it wouldn't take him long to master the D and C rank jutsus.

The next day Dazen got up and went to the library to check the jutsus, the Konoha library was close to the ninja academy and soon Dazen found it, so he went towards the jutsus section and soon found what he expected he took the scroll which contained the D rank lightning jutsus and began to read.

Dazen read all the jutsus and thought: 'There are several useful jutsus, but I won't learn many D-rank ones, I will focus more on C-rank jutsus since they are jutsus that I will use throughout my ninja career no matter how strong I am. '

Of the D rank jutsus Dazen decided to learn 3 jutsus which were as follows:

Lightning Style: Thunder Ball — Which consisted of creating balls of electricity and throwing them at the opponent, it could also be used by creating multiple balls of electricity.

Lightning Style: Lightning Burial — The jutsu creates an electric current that travels through the ground or air towards the opponent, causing a lot of damage.

Lightning style: Full charge — It consisted of covering the body with lightning chakra and causing damage by touching the opponent or releasing lightning from any part of the body.

Having chosen which jutsus he would learn, Dazen was satisfied and returned home to begin training. The next day, Dazen and the other two were already at the training center waiting for Kenji to appear.

Ayume looked very excited as she said, "Hey, do you think Kenji-sensei is going to take us on a mission today, after he told us to prepare, so I think he plans to take us on a mission."

Hideki nodded and said: "It's possible, he was quite impressed with our performance, so I don't doubt he'll take us on some mission to gain experience."

Dazen looked at the two excited children and said: "Even if he takes us on some mission, I doubt it will be something very important, after all we are still genins who have barely left the academy."

Ayume agreed with what Dazen said: "Of course he won't take us to fight ninjas or anything like that, but he should take us to capture some bandits who aren't ninjas, my parents told me that there are many missions like that, I bet Kenji-sensei will take us on a mission like that.'

Dazen chuckled inwardly thinking about what missions rookie ninjas like them are sent on and thought, 'It seems like the older ninjas don't tell their kids about what the rookies' missions are, I bet they do it to have fun with the whole rookie situation.'

The conversation soon ended when Kenji arrived at the place and noticing the look and expectation of the three students, he smiled and said: "It seems like you understand what's going to happen today, don't you..."

Kenji didn't have time to finish when Ayume asked expectantly, "Sensei, are you going to take us on a mission?"

Kenji smiled at Ayume's impatience and said, "Yes..." Hearing the answer, both Ayume's and Hideki's expressions filled with joy, but that didn't last long when they heard everything else Kenji had to say.

Kenji continued to smile evilly as he spoke: "We are going to do a very important mission for the people of the village, one of the village elders lost her cat and our mission is to find him before anything happens to him, indeed a very important mission for the three of you.'

Ayume and Hideki were in shock of having to carry out such a mission while Dazen thought in anguish: 'Saying this with such an evil smile on his face as expected of a jounin from Konoha, this bunch of ninja who have nothing better to do than torment defenseless children.'
