XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX

After listening to Sakura's words, Third Hokage was completely disillusioned. He didn't think Sakura was lying to him. Konoha also coveted the power of the Senju clan, and although Third Hokage himself never touched on those matters, he had looked at the data collected from Orochimaru's laboratory when the latter defected. The data clearly recorded some results about experiments, including a highly aggressive power that existed within the cells of the Senju clan's Hashirama. At the time, Third Hokage didn't understand it, but now he thinks it must be the power of Yang Release.

"Ah..." Third Hokage sighed, feeling a little disappointed but also excited. Although only Sakura could use the power of Wood Release, she was a member of Konoha. With Sakura around, Konoha would eventually return to the status it had when the first Hokage was in power.

With this thought in mind, Third Hokage had some other ideas.

"Um, if there's nothing else, you can leave now!" Seeing Third Hokage's alternating expressions of sorrow and lewdness, Sakura shuddered with goosebumps. Could this old man's mind be going crazy? He was old and yet he still liked to look at those X-rated things, getting all worked up all the time. Maybe some part of his brain had been accidentally severed!

"Okay, we'll go do some D-rank missions and accumulate some experience. You'll all participate in this year's Chunin exam, and show your skills in the arena!" Third Hokage suddenly said with a meaningful tone.

"Understood!" Although they didn't understand what Third Hokage meant, everyone nodded in agreement.

What are D-rank missions? Tasks like weeding, taking care of children, carrying water, and picking up trash. They were tasks similar to household chores, with little danger and not much effort required. The only downside was that the rewards were too meager.

However, for Sakura and her group, the amount of the reward was not a big deal at all. Not to mention the wealth that people like Sasuke and Hinata already had as heirs of their respective clans, the profits generated by the Tenka Kai that had been registered under their names for the past several years were already a huge sum of money. Even if divided among twelve people, it was still a huge amount of money. Even Lee, who came from an orphan background, had become a small millionaire by now. They didn't care about the rewards for doing missions. They did missions just to accumulate experience and prepare for their promotion to Chunin and Jonin in the future.

Whether it was for promotion to Chunin or Jonin, having mission experience was necessary. It could even be said that mission experience accounted for a large proportion of whether or not they could level up.

Apart from doing small tasks like weeding and carrying water every day, the rest of the time was spent in practice. Their daily lives seemed to have become fixed. In the beginning, it was okay, but as time went on, Naruto, who was lively and active, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Naruto, let me teach you a trick. Go pull Third Hokage's beard, and he'll definitely give you a higher-level mission!" Uzumaki Kushina was egging Naruto on to pester the old man.

"Um, Mom, are you sure Third Hokage will give me a higher-level mission?" Naruto was a little tempted. He really didn't want to keep doing these petty tasks. In his imagination, ninjas should be doing big things. How could they waste their time on household chores all day long?

"He dares not give it to me, but after I'm resurrected, I'll smash his crystal ball!" Uzumaki Kushina laughed wickedly. As someone who had dealt with Jiraiya for years, she knew what kind of person Third Hokage was, and she also knew how much he valued that crystal ball.

"Um, Kushina, Naruto is still young, don't teach him these things!" Minato Namikaze smiled awkwardly. If Naruto really smashed Third Hokage's crystal ball, Third Hokage might have a heart attack and end up in the hospital.

"Minato Namikaze, we weren't able to accompany Naruto as he grew up. That old man, Third Hokage, let Naruto be bullied for so many years. What's wrong with me smashing one of his crystal balls?" Uzumaki Kushina was like a lioness protecting her cubs, and the killing intent in her eyes told Minato Namikaze that if he dared to say anything against her, there might be bloodshed today, and Naruto might even become a single-parent family.

"No, I think it's a good idea..." Minato Namikaze smiled and went along with it. He didn't dare to provoke Uzumaki Kushina. Whenever, wherever, she was the one with the highest status in their family.

"Hmph!" Seeing that Minato Namikaze was obedient, Uzumaki Kushina didn't plan to trouble him.

"Hehe, Minato Namikaze, I didn't expect you to be a man who's afraid of his wife. If the ninjas of the ninja world knew that the Fourth Hokage, Yellow Flash, was a man who's afraid of his wife, I wonder how they would feel?" Nine-Tails lay there lazily and said with a disdainful tone. How could he have capsized in the gutter and fallen into the hands of this guy? It was a pity that his reputation had been ruined.

"What are you talking about, you single fox? You're getting too big for your boots for someone who's still single at your age. You're obviously a virgin fox, a useless guy..." Hearing Nine-Tails dare to say something about Minato Namikaze, Uzumaki Kushina immediately fought back. Only she could bully their Minato in their family, and no one else dared to try.

"What did you say? Do you want me to kill you?" Nine-Tails got up suddenly, with killing intent all over his body. What was a single fox? He didn't want to find a girlfriend casually, so that's why he had been single all this time. It wasn't because he couldn't find a girlfriend!

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Uzumaki Kushina didn't back down. When she was pulled out by Nine-Tails, she could use the Diamond Seal to seal him up, and now in the spiritual space, she could exert her full strength. It wasn't easy for Nine-Tails to kill her, and besides, "You said you want to kill me? Aren't you afraid of being hit by the Onoki's Dust Release again?"

"Ah, ah, ah, damn Kushina..." Nine-Tails' eyes turned red, and even after so many days had passed, whenever he heard the words "Dust Release," he still felt a headache. The psychological shadow was too big.

As Nine-Tails and Uzumaki Kushina argued back and forth, Minato Namikaze sat on the side, smiling and trying to mediate, while Kakashi looked at Sakura sitting under the tree with some curiosity and asked, "Sakura, don't you find it boring? Even Sasuke's emotions are a bit unstable. How can you be so patient?"
