Why someone would still be performing D-ranks when they were a Chūnin was beyond Naruto’s comprehension at the moment, but he supposed someone had to take that option, since it was written there in blue and white. He also had to wonder why catching a cat was seen as such a big deal by the village’s shinobi force.
Letting out a breath and trying to focus around his itching nose, Naruto gave the list of mission a moment of serious considering. Painting Fences would not only be a quick and easy way to start off with, plus it would give him the chance to test that little trick Iruka had told him about using his new [Suiton: Suigun Suima no Jutsu]. As for the other mission, he decided that walking the Inuzuka Clan’s dogs would be good for Sakura-chan’s and Ino’s physical conditioning if nothing else, plus it would give him a chance at a rare loot drop.
As soon as he made his selections, colour seemed to flood back into the world in an instant and time started to flow again. The sudden shift was actually pretty jarring and more than a bit freaky.
"...now then, let us see what missions we have for your first set." Jiji seemed to pick up mid-sentence as he picked up one scroll, opened it up and glanced at it. "Ah, Haramura Nodoka-san needs her back garden’s fence painted today. Also...Inuzuka Tsume has asked for someone to help her clan walk some of their ninken as well."
