Chapter 32: Inventorying the Harvest, a Scale of the Three-Tails!
"Something?"
Zabuza showed a hint of curiosity.
However, after seeing what Byakuya took out, Zabuza almost cried out in surprise.
"This is...?"
Seeing Zabuza's reaction, Byakuya knew he must recognize this object.
"Lord Byakuya, I have sensed the Chakra on this thing before on the Fourth Mizukage!"
The feeling this armor-like object gave him was the same as when he had faced the Fourth Mizukage.
"Yagura?"
Byakuya pondered for a moment. If that was the case, he probably knew what this was.
"Lord Byakuya, how did you obtain this piece?"
Zabuza asked curiously.
To this, Byakuya simply explained that the villagers here had given it to him.
"Lord Byakuya's luck is simply heaven-defying!"
Zabuza was shocked by Byakuya's incredible luck.
Once Byakuya had handled everything in the Land of Waves, he prepared to return to Konoha.
Coincidentally, Kakashi and the rest of Team 7 were also preparing to return.
This time, Byakuya didn't mind returning together with them.
"Byakuya!"
If one were to ask who was happiest about Byakuya accompanying Team 7 on their return...
It would undoubtedly be Sakura.
"Byakuya, is your mission complete?"
Sakura asked curiously.
Team 7's mission was to escort Tazuna back to the Land of Waves.
Along the way, they really completed this mission as if it were a C-rank mission.
They just didn't know what kind of mission Byakuya had completed.
"A C-rank mission!"
Facing Sakura's inquiry, Byakuya simply spoke indifferently.
"Ha, so the mission Byakuya completed was the same as ours!"
Naruto instantly became excited upon hearing this.
"Idiot!"
Sasuke, unable to stand Naruto's foolish behavior, cursed at him.
Could the mission Byakuya executed possibly be C-rank?
Thinking of that man named Zabuza they fought today, Sasuke's expression became incomparably serious.
"The mission Byakuya is executing is at least A-rank!"
Although Sasuke wasn't clear on the mission rank divisions,
that Jonin named Zabuza certainly wasn't someone who could be brushed off as B-rank, right?
At the same time, Sasuke's gaze toward Byakuya became even more earnest!
He now dared not imagine just how terrifying Byakuya's strength actually was!
On the way back to Konoha Village,
perhaps because they were accompanied by Byakuya, the journey was exceptionally smooth.
So much so that they returned to Konoha in less than a day.
"Let's go submit the mission."
When Kakashi Hatake brought Team 7 and Byakuya to the Mission Center together,
the people inside completely boiled over with excitement upon seeing Byakuya.
"It's Byakuya, he actually really came back!"
"No way, he could return from that mission completely unscathed!"
The expressions of many people seeing Byakuya were filled with disbelief.
"What's happening?"
Naruto was a bit dazed; why was everyone around them discussing Byakuya!
"Oh my, Byakuya-sama!"
At this moment, the person in charge of the Mission Center came running out in a hurry.
Only after seeing that Byakuya was safe and sound did his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settle.
"I am truly sorry, Byakuya-sama, there was an error when the client submitted the mission for review!"
"The mission you completed should have originally been A-rank!"
After Byakuya left last time, he had maintained a skeptical attitude and had the reviewers re-examine it.
It didn't matter if he didn't look, but once he did, he was shocked!
It turned out that Kado, from a local shipping company in the Land of Waves, was causing trouble behind the scenes.
Moreover, according to information obtained from the black market,
Kado was suspected of hiring the famous Rogue Ninja of the Hidden Mist Village, Zabuza Momochi!
The person in charge, who now knew the truth, was already on the verge of tears.
He had actually assigned a mission that was at least A-rank as a C-rank mission to a genius Ninja of his own Village.
The key point was that this genius Ninja had no experience in executing missions.
If any accident occurred, he would definitely be dead meat.
"Are you talking about Zabuza?"
Looking at the other's expression, Byakuya roughly knew what was going on.
"You really encountered him!!"
The person in charge was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped.
"Byakuya not only encountered Zabuza, but also heavily injured him!"
At this time, Kakashi stood up to explain for Byakuya.
The reason Kakashi only said he was heavily injured was because he hadn't personally seen Zabuza be killed.
"My god!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding Ninjas completely boiled over!
A genius Genin who just graduated leaping to become a Special Jonin was already terrifying enough.
Now what was even more terrifying was that he could actually heavily injure an established Elite Jonin!
"As expected of Konoha's number one genius!"
At this moment, these people finally understood the weight behind the Third Hokage-sama's words calling him Konoha's number one genius!
"This is the reward for the revised mission, one million Ryo!"
Seeing that Byakuya had completed the mission, the person in charge immediately took out a reward of one million Ryo.
This reward was more of a minimum than an excess for defeating an enemy like Zabuza!
"What, one million Ryo!"
Naruto cried out in surprise.
My god, he had never seen so much money in his life.
But Byakuya actually earned it in a single mission!
"Then, then what about our mission!"
Naruto hurriedly and anxiously handed over their mission completion report.
The person in charge took it and only gave it a rough look.
"I didn't expect you guys to encounter Zabuza as well!"
"This is the bonus for you, one hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Ah, why is there such a big difference?"
Naruto directly called it unfair; they also encountered Zabuza, so why did they only get one hundred and fifty thousand.
"Idiot, if it weren't for Byakuya, we might all have died there!"
Sasuke glanced at Naruto.
They didn't play much of a role, and being able to get one hundred and fifty thousand was already far beyond their original C-rank mission.
"Fine then!"
One hundred and fifty thousand it is; it doesn't seem like a small amount.
But in the next second, Kakashi, as their teacher, directly took out about one hundred thousand from it.
Naruto:????
Nani!!
