Chapter 44: S-Rank Mission

Torifune thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Sasuke, for his part, was also very pleased, remarking that he had benefited greatly. Taking advantage of the dinner, he had been secretly using his infrasonic radar to perceive the details of the changes in Torifune's body, studying and analyzing while imitating and comparing. After the meal, he had finally deciphered the principle.

It turned out that the process of using chakra to stimulate the vagus nerve endings in the intestine involved a much more detailed method of chakra stimulation, one that even reached the level of cellular activation. The entire process, accounting for the differences between cells and neural networks in various parts, carried out a multi-level, high-frequency, and extremely detailed chakra stimulation to improve the conversion efficiency of food energy.

Fortunately, Torifune had been eating and digesting food right in front of him, allowing him to conduct continuous comparative experiments, a process almost equivalent to copying a ninjutsu with the Sharingan. He realized that the digestion technique he had developed in the afternoon was too simple and crude. It not only wasted a lot of food energy but also increased the load on his heart, liver, and gallbladder. The full version of the Akimichi Digestion Technique not only achieved perfection in the utilization rate of food energy but also considered the burden on the body. It was truly amazing.

He also recognized the terrifying depth of the ninja clans. Clans like the Akimichi had a long history, their legacy accumulated by countless generations of ancestors. Their heritage was so profound that one could benefit infinitely with just a glimpse.

"Sasuke," Torifune said, patting his belly, "the merit points for the intelligence mission from the Land of Wind have come down." He leaned in and whispered, "The mission was of a very high level and involved a jinchūriki. It's been classified as an S-rank mission."

"Oh? S-rank, and it involves a jinchūriki," Sasuke's gaze condensed, feigning shock.

Torifune didn't explain much, just said a little embarrassedly, "Sasuke, we originally agreed to split the merit points in half, but now you'll only get 30% and an S-rank completed mission record. I feel like I got the better end of the deal."

"Lord Torifune, 30% is already a lot," Sasuke said, full of praise, though in his heart he was ecstatic. The merit points were valuable, but compared to an official S-rank mission completion record, they were nothing.

High-level mission completion records were a prerequisite for being evaluated for ninja promotions and for exchanging for mid- and high-level ninjutsu. In his entire ten-year career, he didn't have a single A-rank completion record. To get an S-rank record was a once-in-a-lifetime stroke of luck.

He knew that S-rank missions were generally strategic-level, and even elite jōnin might not complete a few in their lifetime. The S-rank mission completion record was a necessary prerequisite for exchanging for A-rank ninjutsu and being evaluated for the title of Konoha Jōnin.

This prerequisite policy was a reform implemented by the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. Originally, during the time of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, one hundred C-rank missions were equivalent to ten B-rank missions, which were equivalent to one A-rank mission. As long as you completed enough tasks, you could even exchange for A-rank ninjutsu. But Hiruzen's reforms blocked this path, widening the gap between civilian ninja and the clans.

Clan disciples inherited ninjutsu and were often led by jōnin, giving them many opportunities to complete high-level tasks. For ordinary mid- and low-level ninja, however, they could only rely on themselves, and were often stuck, unable to break through the bottleneck of high-level mission completion records.
