Chapter 435 Joint Mission

Kushina complained angrily, "What kind of B-rank and C-rank missions does the old man assign to our Class 3? I can handle them without even lifting a finger."

"I haven't been exercising much lately, my bones are practically rusting. If I don't get some exercise soon, I'm going to tear this Hokage Building down!"

The Chunin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "But... Lady Kushina, the current high-level missions suitable for your team..."

Kushina's gaze swept across the scroll and instantly landed on the scroll in Kakashi's hand.

"Huh? A-level commission?"

Kushina's eyes lit up instantly, like a hungry wolf seeing fresh meat.

She snatched the scroll from Kakashi's hand and quickly glanced at it.

"Loulan Kingdom? Dragon vein disturbance? That sounds great! Exciting, and it's sure to be a good fight!"

Kushina clapped her hands excitedly.

"This is it!"

"Wait! Lady Kushina, that's..." The Chunin who was receiving them hurriedly tried to stop them.

"I know, the client specifically requested Class 7." Kushina waved her hand dismissively.

"What does it matter? This mission is so dangerous anyway, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting those kids go."

Kushina turned her head and gave Kakashi what she thought was a kind smile.

"Kakashi, Minato is too busy right now to go on missions with you guys. You're the captain of Team 7 now. Do you think that if we added me, an experienced Jonin, and three Chunin who are a bit slow but have decent fighting skills, forming a joint mission team between Team 7 and Team 3, wouldn't the safety factor be greatly improved?"

After the Chunin Exams, all the Konoha contestants who passed the village's assessments were successfully promoted to Chunin.

"..."

Kakashi looked at Kushina's kind smile and swallowed hard.

He knew very well that if he dared to say even half a "no," this mission hall would definitely be torn down by this Blood Red Pepper, and he would be the first victim.

So he swallowed back what he was about to say: that their team hadn't decided to take on the mission yet.

"...I think Lady Kushina's suggestion is very reasonable."

Kakashi wisely chose to follow his heart, turning to the Chunin who was receiving them and saying, "Please ask the Hokage to change this mission into a joint mission."

"Yay! We can go out of the village to play! Kakashi, this is our first mission together!" Kana cheered excitedly from behind.

Obito clenched his fist in excitement.

Shizune looked at this strangely styled joint team, sighed silently, and prayed that they would return safely from this mission.

The Chunin hesitated and said, "Well... it's best if Lady Kushina goes and speak to her herself. I don't have the authority to do so."

Sending a Jinchuriki out of the village is one thing, but sending a Jinchuriki abroad? Or even to some unknown small country on a mission? He didn't dare to even mention it.

After all, he was just a poor working man, unlike these young masters and ladies with powerful backgrounds.

Maybe if we give them face this time and talk to the Hokage about this, he'll be fired tomorrow for stepping into the mission hall with his left foot.

There are countless people eyeing such a safe and secure position, and he has a family to support, so how could he possibly risk it!

Kushina didn't make things difficult for him, but simply nodded and said, "Since Class 7 has agreed, I'll go talk to the old man."

Then, she dragged Kakashi straight to the Hokage's office.

The Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked at the two of them and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"Kushina..." The Third Hokage put down his pipe, his tone tinged with helplessness. "This is just an A-rank commission to investigate the dragon vein's unusual activity. Team 7 is more than capable of carrying it out."

"You're a Jonin, and... cough, someone with a special status, what are you doing bringing Team 3 to join in the fun?"

Kushina, hands on her hips, retorted fiercely, "What do you mean by 'joining in the fun'! Old man, you give Minato so much work every day, he doesn't even have time for me now."

"I've been leading my squad on missions that aren't very challenging. If you don't let me get out and stretch my legs, I'll tear this building down!"

The Third Hokage's lips twitched. If Kushina were really pushed to the limit, she might actually be capable of demolishing a building.

Moreover, he knew that Minato hadn't had time to spend with Kushina lately because of the shared destiny of the ninja world, and he felt somewhat guilty.

"However, this mission is located on the border of the Land of Wind, a long and arduous journey..."

"With me here, what danger could there be!" Kushina pulled Kakashi in front of her, patting his shoulder. "Besides, Kakashi is the captain of Team 7 now, and he agreed to it. This is a joint operation between the two teams; we'll look out for each other, so it's absolutely safe!"

Under the Third Hokage's dangerous gaze, Kakashi's lips twitched slightly beneath his mask, and he could only nod stiffly: "Yes...yes, Hokage-sama. I think Lady Kushina's suggestion...is very prudent."

The Third Hokage, seeing Kakashi's expression, immediately understood what was going on.

He sighed and picked up his pipe again.

"Alright, alright, since you've all decided, then go. But remember, mission first, safety second. Your safety is more important than the mission. If anything seems amiss, retreat immediately. Don't linger."

If it were the old Konoha, he would never have agreed to let the Jinchuriki run so far, but the current Konoha is different. Compared to before, it is much more confident and has a deeper foundation. Moreover, he does not regard Kushina as a simple Jinchuriki.

In his view, Kushina was first and foremost a member of the Uzumaki clan, the current pillar of the clan, and a descendant of his teacher's wife, Mito Uzumaki. He had watched her grow up.

Secondly, Kushina and Minato's relationship was quite stable, and it was highly likely that they would form a family. Moreover, Minato was the next Hokage that Kushina was training. Given this relationship, he wouldn't be too harsh on Kushina.

What? What if something goes wrong?

The Third Hokage declared it impossible, absolutely impossible!

Even if something unexpected happens, he will nip it in the bud.

From a utilitarian perspective, Kushina is the most suitable candidate to be Minato's wife, and he intends to bring the two together. Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Minato and the Jinchuriki to get so close before.

Finally, the mindset of Konoha's higher-ups has changed, and they have become much more lenient in managing Jinchuriki. Nohara Rin, who is also a Jinchuriki, didn't even have any Anbu following her after the initial period when she hadn't mastered the Three-Tails' power. The villagers also liked this war hero very much and didn't treat her differently because of her status as a Jinchuriki.

"Yay! The old man is the most understanding!" Kushina cheered excitedly, pulling Kakashi along as they ran outside. "Let's go, let's go back and pack our bags, we're leaving first thing tomorrow morning!"

Watching them hurry away, the Third Hokage shook his head, but couldn't help but smile.

"These energetic young people..."
