Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 96

The young man below the stage, sweating profusely, bowed and said, "Isn't this because you, sir, instructed us not to show our faces recently, so as to give the Konoha ninjas guarding the Fire Capital the illusion that we have a strong defense?"

"Damn it! That's my only son! If anything happens to him, I'll make you all pay with your lives!"

The daimyo was enraged, and his subordinates below the stage were sweating profusely, thinking that they might have to return to their wandering days: they dared not kill him, the successor to the daimyo would not dare to use him, and would spend a lot of money to have Konoha ninjas and even ninjas from other major countries hunt down wandering ninjas like them until they died.

If you try to escape, at most you'll just get more bounty notices on the gold exchange, and you'll still have a chance to survive.

"Go and get them back! Now is not the time to hide our strength! What if my two younger brothers find out..." The daimyo bit his nail, thinking to himself that he had always kept Enshin living in the inner city of the Fire Capital to prevent assassination attempts.

it's good now.

Isn't this just handing the opportunity to someone else?!

At this moment, inside a mansion in the inner city, curtains blocked the light from the outside, and darkness seemed to envelop the entire interior space.

dong dong dong.

The middle-aged man inside glanced down at the outline outside:

"A straight person."

"what happened?"

The thin young man outside lay on the ground and whispered, "Yuanxin, we've left the city."

"It was a Konoha ninja who took him out."

Click——

After a moment of panic inside, a deep, resonant laugh rang out from inside the room:

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"This opportunity has finally come!"

"The inner city is all my elder brother's men! Once we leave the city, even if my good nephew is dead, it's time for us to take the position of Daimyo of the Land of Fire!"

The man was well aware that his current fame stemmed from excessive indulgence in alcohol and sex in his youth, which had caused fertility problems, making it impossible for him to have children now.

"Immediately send your entire elite squad to assassinate the enemy and frame the Konoha ninja for it!"

"Yes!"

at the same time.

Outside the city, the Konoha ninja guarding the Fire Capital were yawning, but soon, the Daimyo's ninja guards arrived and immediately announced a major event:

"The Daimyo's son has been taken out of the city by your Konoha ninjas! Come with us now and bring him back!"

The man's face was filled with fear and unease as he threatened:

"If that child dies outside, you Konoha ninja will have to think about how to explain it to the Daimyo!!"

The implication is that the Daimyo will have Konoha hold the guards responsible for protecting the Fire Capital accountable.

Uchiha En and Uchiha Fuya, who were guarding the door, were speechless.

"Are you kidding me?" Uchiha Fuya, now a Chunin, said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, while inwardly questioning which bastard ninja had taken the daimyo's son away!

“We’ve never even seen the daimyo’s son, so how could anyone have gone to pick him up? Besides, it seems like no village ninjas have come to the Fire Capital on missions lately!!” said Uchiha En.

"all in all."

"That person is a Jonin from your Konoha Village."

Whether you go or not is up to you.

The man walked directly toward the Military Affairs Office: he needed to lead a few more people, otherwise one person would definitely not be enough.

"Wait a minute! I'll go inform our captain!"

......

The Konoha Police Department, responsible for guarding the Fire Capital, is led by two Jonin from the Utatane and Mitokado clans, with the rest being ninjas from various clans and even civilians. Their main responsibility is the safety of the Daimyo, providing timely protection when enemies appear.

At this moment, Jonin Utatane Anzu learned of this matter and gritted her teeth, saying, "Who is it! A Jonin comes to the Fire Capital to carry out orders. Under normal circumstances, even if the village doesn't send a signal, he should find a way to come and take the information himself! Why take away a child!"

Jonin Mitomon Jun frowned slightly and crossed his arms, saying, "No matter what, since they claim to be a Konoha ninja, we must find proof that they are not a Konoha ninja."

"otherwise."

"It will affect the daimyo's view of the village and also limit the village's post-war development."

"Then I'll go! I'm a sensory ninja, I'll go with those two Uchiha ninjas!"

Mitomon frowned again: "Aren't you bringing any other ninjas? Who knows, this might be a chance to make a contribution?"

Tsurugi An shook her head and sneered, "Meritorious service? At this point in time, they've either died in an accident or been taken away by other forces within the royal family."

"all in all."

"We're destined to take the blame."

"But fortunately."

"The next royal family to inherit the title will not hold the village against them too much."

"So, three people are enough."

......

In a place of green hills and clear waters, the orange-red sunset was about to set. Bai Xing glanced at Yuan Xin, who was still in a state of excitement, and planned to give the child a simple lesson for an hour or two, and then send him home when he got tired of playing.

"Speak of it."

Have you ever trained in chakra before?

Bai Xing looked towards the circular channel.

“No.” Yuanxin shook his head, then excitedly raised his hand: “I just saw a lot of history books about ninjas in the library!”

"Oh? What's in the book?!" Shirahoshi thought to herself, "The Fire Country's Daimyo's Mansion has gathered quite a lot of information about the ninja world. It's probably related to Hashirama Senju..."

"It's the Sage of Six Paths!"

Shirahoshi: "......"

Yuanxin, completely oblivious to the flash of shock in Baixing's eyes, continued his rambling speech:

"Legend has it that the Sage of Six Paths brought chakra to the ninja world, and that the ninja world has a sect called Ninja Cult, which was also created by the Sage of Six Paths."

At this point, Yuanxin scratched his head:

"But that must have been many years ago; it's just a legend now."

"There's nothing to investigate."

"Oh...so that's what it is..." Shirahoshi sighed helplessly, thinking to herself that the daimyo had indeed collected a lot of information, but his purpose was probably to represent ordinary people in resisting the ninja forces while enjoying the privileges of the nobility.

Next, Shirahoshi began to teach Enshin how to cultivate chakra: after all, chakra refining techniques were commonplace, and noble sons could have them anytime they wanted.

Cultivation mainly relies on talent or bloodline.

Time passed by, and Bai Xing was getting a little bored. She looked around at the surroundings and gazed at the fish in the lake, feeling a bit like she wanted to try night fishing.

Just then, a strange noise came from the woods behind them, and Bai Xing turned around to look.

Followed by.

Chi chi chi——

The clanging of metal made Bai Xing frown again, followed by a voice coming from the woods:

Fire Release: Explosive Fire Impact!

Then, Takeya's voice rang out:

"Wind Release: Gale Technique!"

— It is a C-rank ninjutsu that is almost identical to Wind Release: Great Breakthrough, but the Wandering Ninja developed it on his own, so it has its own terminology.

There is no inherent conflict between wind and fire. Their clash is simply a matter of which has greater power. The one that can devour the other's wind/fire can transform it into a more powerful ninjutsu and return it to the other.

Slightly——

A slight, subtle noise came from beneath Yuanxin's feet. Bai Xing keenly noticed this and immediately pulled Yuanxin, who had just awakened from his cultivation state and was still in a daze from hearing the sounds of fighting, over. Then, a wisp of cold light flew out from below Yuanxin, along with a guy dressed in black.

"As expected of an elite ninja of Konoha."

"That's a really fast reaction! It actually detected that I used Earth Release: Earth Escape Technique!"

Tread-tap-

Shirahoshi protected Enshin and glanced around at the six ninjas who had suddenly appeared using the Body Flicker Technique: Judging from their appearance, they were no ordinary weaklings.

"Hand over the people in your hands to us."

"I can let you go! How about it?"

The man in black who had just spoken extended his right hand to grasp the kunai, and said...

"Brother Bai Xing!" Yuan Xin cried out frantically, hiding behind Bai Xing, "I'll give you any amount of money you want, just please don't leave me behind!!"

Shirahoshi gripped a kunai, thinking to himself that the mission had suddenly been upgraded, and whether 110,000 was a bit of a loss. "Don't worry, the ninja's code is ultimately about completing the mission."

"Since I've already taken your money..."

"It's only natural that I want to protect you."

"Brother Bai Xing!!" Yuan Xin was deeply moved, thinking to himself that Bai Xing was the first person to protect him not because of his status: Yuan Xin considered a mere 110,000 taels to be just small change.

If only Shirahoshi were his personal bodyguard...

At this moment, Take, who was Yuanxin's personal bodyguard, could not withstand the power of the Jonin's fire-style attack and decisively used a substitution jutsu to leave.

boom--

The combined power of wind and fire created a sea of ​​fire that shone on the clothes of all the men in black.

Immediately afterwards, the ninja who had just fought with Takeya noticed the charred and exploding pieces of the substitute wood in the sea of ​​fire and immediately looked to the side.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

Six Chunin-level rogue ninjas were instantly kicked away, and Takeya shielded Enshin:

"Are you alright, Young Master Yuanxin?"

"Takeya, you're so slow. Besides, Brother Shirahoshi will protect me!"
