This finally calmed down the unruly people of Konoha, who dared not gossip about the noble daimyo's wife anymore.

In the morning, Team 7, led by Kakashi, came to the Hokage Building to receive their mission and saw the notice posted at the bottom of the building.

"Eh~ that lady is actually the daimyo's wife, how could that be~~" Upon learning that the beautiful older sister he had been longing for was already married, Naruto was immediately filled with disappointment.

"Hey, Naruto, you idiot, what are you feeling down about?!"

Sakura grabbed his collar in a fit of rage and yelled, "It's been a whole night, why is he still thinking about her?"

"You big idiot," Sasuke said sarcastically as always.

However, Naruto was deeply affected by this and surprisingly didn't argue back.

Kakashi glanced at the noisy students behind him and stopped walking.

He had also heard some of the rumors from yesterday, so the reserved white-haired man couldn't help but ask his student:

"Is that Lady Daimyo of the Land of Lightning... really that beautiful?"

"Kakashi-sensei, what's wrong with you too?!" Sakura exclaimed in shock, then gave a disdainful snort and turned her head away.

Naruto got really excited about this and immediately wanted to describe it to Kakashi-sensei.

Unfortunately, being semi-literate, he couldn't think of any good adjectives and could only give a super-beautiful evaluation after some random gestures.

Kakashi: "..."

He glanced helplessly at the student who seemed to be talking nonsense, and then turned his attention to Sasuke.

"...", Sasuke frowned, really not wanting to waste his breath on such a boring matter.

But he couldn't ignore the pleading look in his team leader's eyes, so he could only scoff in annoyance and slowly say:

"In terms of appearance and temperament alone, that woman is truly a rare sight in the world."

But for some reason, I always felt she wasn't simple; she gave me a creepy, unsettling feeling.

"Oh, I see," Kakashi said meaningfully, his right eye narrowing as he seemed to be deep in thought.

The four teachers and students stopped in front of the notice board without noticing the two people approaching from behind.

"Hehe, it seems that my charm has not diminished over the years. Look how these young men are infatuated with me."

The sound from behind startled Kakashi, who quickly turned around and saw a man and a woman standing behind them.

How could this be? I didn't even notice anyone approaching!

Thinking in surprise, Kakashi's heart began to beat faster without him even realizing it.

If this had happened on the battlefield, and the enemy had gotten this close, he would have been dead long ago.

Of the three genin, only Sasuke was a beat too slow to react and turned his head in time to be on guard.

However, when he saw what the two people looked like, his pupils shrank immediately.

It's them!

In contrast, Naruto and Sakura lacked sufficient vigilance. It wasn't until they saw the two people beside them looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy that they belatedly turned around to look.

"Ah, it's Raikage and the pretty lady from yesterday!"

Upon seeing the two, Naruto practically blurted out his name.

That's right, it was Bitz and Liang Bing who quietly crept up behind the four of them.

Are these the Daimyo and his wife from the Land of Lightning?

Upon hearing Naruto's address, Kakashi immediately realized what was going on and discreetly sized up the two of them.

Seems much more easygoing than I imagined...

Looking at their attire, Kakashi thought for a long time and could only describe them as easygoing.

Well, the couple were both dressed very casually today.

Beetz wore a loose blue short-sleeved T-shirt, a pair of off-white shorts with a dog pattern, and simple gray slippers.

If it weren't for his nearly two-meter height and his exposed, powerful arms and legs, which made him appear very imposing.

Kakashi genuinely believed he was just an ordinary tourist visiting Konoha.

Compared to his casual style, Liang Bing's is more fashionable.

She wore a light blue cropped top that showed off her waist, paired with white high-waisted shorts and blue strappy high-heeled sandals.

She also made a point of applying eyeshadow and lipstick before leaving the house.

Her delicate, charming face, paired with red lips that held a slight mischievous smile, almost made Kakashi unable to look away.

"Hey kids, we meet again."

Liang Bing casually put one hand on her hip and nodded with satisfaction at Naruto and the other two.

The three of them swallowed hard, unable to contain their envy at the stylish and charming beauty before them.

This is not the stereotypical image of a gruff, middle-aged woman with a fat face, wearing heavy, grotesque makeup and a gorgeous but fussy kimono.

Kakashi, with his vast experience, was the first to react, bowing respectfully 90 degrees and greeting the two:

"Greetings, Your Excellency and Madam. Wishing you both good health."

After saying that, he reminded the three students, "Stop daydreaming and quickly bow to the two adults."

After his reminder, the three belatedly followed his example and bowed to Bitz and his companion in greeting.

Now it was Bitz's turn to speak.

"You're too kind, Jonin Hatake, and the three excellent Genin from Konoha, please get up."

"Thank you very much."

Perhaps because the Hatake family was a samurai family, Kakashi's every move was very proper.

Sasuke also came from a prominent family, and his upbringing ensured that he wouldn't lose his manners in such a situation.

Naruto, an orphan, and Sakura, who came from a commoner background, were somewhat awkward with each other. Naruto could only imitate the two of them, thanking them and then carefully straightening up to observe their expressions.

Despite not being a daimyo from the Land of Fire, Kakashi, after showing the respect due to a nobleman, reverted to being the excellent Konoha ninja he was.

"I never expected that you, esteemed sir, would have heard of my name."

May I ask what brings you two to the Hokage Building?

"If you're here to see the Hokage, I can show you the way."

"I have naturally heard of the name of Konoha Technician Kakashi Hatake."

Bitz subtly glanced at the three of them, inwardly marveling at how coincidental it was to run into Kakashi's team.

"Not at all, please follow me."

With Kakashi leading the way, the two entered the Hokage Building without any problems.

They then met Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was working in the Hokage's office.

Given Bits's status, he would naturally be secretly monitored by Konoha's ANBU.

The Third Hokage received the news as soon as the two of them left, and knew that he was coming to the Hokage Building.

But when they met, he still pretended to be surprised and quickly got up from his seat.

"Lord Raikage, what brings you here? And Madam, are you comfortable with the residence arranged by Konoha?"

While asking the two questions, the Third Hokage's gaze kept glancing at Kakashi's team, who had come in with them.

What's going on? Why is it Naruto and the others again?

The Third Hokage hasn't forgotten; yesterday, Liang Bing specifically mentioned Naruto and the others.

The two of them came to his office again today with Kakashi's team, which made him secretly suspicious.

However, Bitz said it was just a coincidence, and he never expected to run into Kakashi and his group on the way.

After exchanging pleasantries, the three generations invited the couple to sit down on the sofa.

Kakashi and the others were also curious about the purpose of the two coming to see the Third Hokage, and seeing that the Third Hokage did not kick them out, they decided to stay as well.

After politely declining the three generations' offer to brew him tea, Beetz went straight to the point:

"Lord Hokage, participating in the Chunin Exams is only one of our purposes."

One of our purposes is to fully appreciate and explore Konoha, the number one ninja village in the ninja world, and experience its prosperity.

We, the 2. 5 generation, have come specifically to deliver a request to your esteemed village, hoping that the Hokage could send a few reliable ninjas to serve as our guides.

Guide, tour guide?

The Third Hokage and the four members of Kakashi's team were all dumbfounded. They never expected that the Beethoven couple would come to the Hokage's office for this matter.

After the initial surprise, the Third Hokage immediately relaxed and smiled, saying:

"It was my oversight; I forgot that the two of you are not familiar with Konoha."

"There's no need to issue a mission. I'll see if there are any free ninja squads to serve as your guides."

This kind of mission can be easily assigned by any genin squad; the Third Hokage couldn't let Beetz pay for the mission himself.

If word gets out and other ninja villages find out, they'll laugh at Konoha for being so stingy, having to pay for such a small thing themselves.

"No, no, no, this is our private matter. How can we waste Konoha's manpower?"

Hokage, please proceed with the normal mission assignment.

Beetz feigned politeness for a while, but in the end, he couldn't refuse the old man's insistence and had no choice but to accept it politely.

Just as the Third Hokage was looking through the files to see which ninja squad was currently available.

Having listened for most of the day and finally understanding the purpose of Bitz and his companion's visit, Naruto couldn't sit still any longer.

"Me, me, me, third-generation grandpa, our Class 7 happens to be free of missions, so please take this mission from us!"

Oh no, I forgot Naruto is still here.

I humbly beg all my esteemed readers to give me more flowers and monthly tickets, and I desperately request that you urge me to update more frequently and provide rewards. I would be eternally grateful.

Chapter 127 Team 7 Becomes Guards, Beethoven Gives Sakura Guidance!

The Nine-Tails inside Naruto is a crucial asset for the village, and the Third Hokage would never allow people from other villages to get close to Naruto.

Taking a deep breath, the Third Hokage tried his best not to let his tone show anything unusual and shook his head, rejecting Naruto's request.

"Stop fooling around, Naruto. The safety of the Raikage is related to the peace and friendship between the Fire and Lightning Kingdoms."

This is not something a few genin like you can handle.

"What does it matter? My grandfather is just visiting the village. What danger could there be?"

"And we also have Kakashi-sensei, and Sasuke, Sakura, and I are all quite strong. We can definitely protect the Daimyo!"

Naruto argued forcefully, saying that aside from the beautiful older sister who attracted him, the mere fact that he was willing to protect the Daimyo and his wife was enough for him to shamelessly snatch the mission.

Sakura opened her mouth, wanting to persuade Naruto not to make things difficult for the Hokage.

But when she thought about the opportunity to become a daimyo's bodyguard, she hesitated and swallowed her words.

Even Sasuke secretly supported Naruto's actions, compared to boring D-rank missions like weeding, taking care of children, and picking up trash.

Becoming a tour guide in Daimyo seems like a much better option.

Moreover, it will add a respectable achievement to the ninja's record, which will be beneficial for future promotions.

With his two teammates' tacit approval, Naruto got even more excited.

"Grandpa Hokage, please agree to our request! We are elite ninjas who even defeated Zabuza Momochi. This kind of mission is absolutely no problem for us!"

"Sigh~ Naruto, this is different from the mission of Zabuza Momochi."

The Third Hokage sighed helplessly, feeling utterly overwhelmed. He had no way to deal with Naruto, who was practically throwing a tantrum on the ground.

At that moment, Bitz's surprised voice rang out.

"Momochi Zabuza? Is that Momochi Zabuza from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"

"That's right, it's Zabuza!" Naruto excitedly chimed in, rubbing his nose and boasting with a proud expression.
