Also, if you havent noticed, gran gran tsu sumtimes chooses ppl who suit the requirements for a mission. Naruto can be put in combat-type missions. Also, when the village is under attack by the sand/sound, naruto will be able to defend the village and save lives, which i think is more important than finding buried treasure (excuse my reference towards fillar arcs).
I don't back myself up with facts about recent things in the series because I don't want to break the rule of "NO SPOILERS" in this section of the forum. Maybe this thread should be moved to the "Naruto Open Discussion" section of the forum, so people can speak more freely about different parts of Naruto. (Spoilers include reference to the most recent Naruto Anime, right? Or is that reference to Naruto manga which is further ahead?... Am I allowed to refer to any of the Naruto Anime that has already come out?)

Anyways, I will gather up a list of episode titles and give specifics, since you are "annoyed". Hard evidence is a little harder to deny.
