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

Page 77

The Rain Mist Technique takes about three seconds to generate. Once completed, the Jonin Kiyomi used Water Instantaneous Movement within this area, arriving in front of Shirahoshi in just over a second.

At this moment, Qingyu could even see Bai Xing's 'panicked' face.

laugh--

"W-what!"

The ninja sword was blocked, blocked by the kunai in Shirahoshi's hand.

"I thought you were something special." Bai Xing smiled calmly, her strength almost equal to Qing Yu's. After a brief standoff, the two separated.

But Shirahoshi found something strange; Shimizu's strength shouldn't be this weak: Shirahoshi only used the strength of an ordinary Chunin to block.

"impossible!"

"Wait! I understand!"

Qingyu's expression suddenly changed, and she pointed her sword at Baixing: "You're not a genin!"

"My assassination technique is so advanced that even ordinary Jonin would have a hard time reacting to it, yet you saw through it!!"

"Hehe. Well... is it possible that I'm actually a sensory ninja?"

"Perception... I see." This time, Qingyu finally understood why Baixing was able to accurately evade the pursuit of their Rain Shadow Squad. So that's how it was.

"But unfortunately, you're dead."

"Even if you are a sensory ninja and can detect the general direction of my intended attack, you cannot continuously sense it."

Regardless of the sensory abilities one possesses, the effects are best achieved when one calms down.

If a ninja continues to attack at a high speed, their senses simply cannot keep up with their opponent.

finally,

They will still die.

"Oh." Shirahoshi replied casually, throwing the kunai and shuriken together in an instant—whoosh!

Qingyu smiled coldly, shifted her body slightly, and her shuriken and kunai brushed past each other: "I forgot to tell you, I also have a shallow sense of perception in this mist."

Hate your own weakness!

"..." Bai Xing's shadow clone was silent for a moment, thinking to himself, "You're really good at showing off. If it weren't for the need to leave this place without making a sound, I wouldn't fight you."

Moreover, among the hidden weapons just thrown, one kunai was rather unusual.

Of course, it's not the Flying Thunder God Technique.

—It's an explosive tag.

boom! ! !

......

In the instant of the explosion, the Jonin of Amegakure was blasted into water droplets.

Of course, this clear rain is also a disguise, not real. The real rain concealed the act of stopping along the way, thus completing the switch.

"How dare he do that at such close range... Oh no!"

Shimizu suddenly realized something: this Shirahoshi was fake!

—Shimizu's perception ability only relies on the area around her body to sense incoming attacks, so she did not notice that Shirahoshi's main body had been replaced by a shadow clone, and that her main body had also disappeared into the ground.

The explosion just now caused Shirahoshi to shift from a cautious, slow movement to a reckless, high-speed movement.

At this moment, Shirahoshi had already left the jungle and simultaneously realized that her shadow clone had only lasted two rounds before being instantly killed.

Of course, he deliberately got killed instantly here.

Otherwise, defeating the opponent in an instant would be a piece of cake, since shadow clones can also activate Devil Fruit abilities.

but,

He's a genin!

Running away is reasonable, but a Jonin who's instantly killed or an elite Jonin? What a load of rubbish!

Send it back, and you'll become a Jonin soon!!

in addition,

Finally, I can experience my first ever international vacation!!!

Chapter 85: The journey is coming to an end, and I've also witnessed the arrival of the Three Ninjas.

shhhhh--

Several hours later,

In the jungle where Shirahoshi was previously surrounded by Shimizu and the other two, a heavyweight ninja team emerged: Tsunade, Orochimaru, and a Hyuga ninja as their leader, followed by six Konoha Chunin, two of whom were medical ninjas, one of whom was Inuzuka Umeko.

"Captain Shirahoshi!"

Umeko Inuzuka shouted in all directions, but there was no response.

Even though the rain washed away most of the traces of the battle, Orochimaru still noticed a faint red bloodstain above a green leaf on the muddy ground.

"So he really died after all?" Orochimaru thought bitterly.

The rapid journey and the sudden situation left Tsunade slightly out of breath. She looked at the Hyuga ninja who had activated his Byakugan and asked, "Where's the body? Have you found it?"

Hinata's expression was grim. He turned off his Byakugan and shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry, Tsunade, there are no traces of corpse fragments nearby. There are only two possibilities for the other party."

"Captured alive or the body was taken away."

—Because no matter how you look at it, a genin could never defeat the jonin opponent named Kiyomi that Hyuga Suzuka described.

"There's another possibility. Shirahoshi might escape unscathed despite being injured. But that possibility is really slim." Orochimaru glanced around regretfully, closed his eyes, and silently shed a tear: this was originally meant for Nawaki.

In any case, Shirahoshi did not disappoint him as his disciple, except for his lack of ninjutsu.

—If I had known, I would have given him the contract for Ryuchi Cave. That way, I might have been able to use the spirit snakes in Ryuchi Cave, or even use reverse spirit techniques to reach the living areas of weaker snake groups, and have a chance to escape from Ryuchi Cave.

The White Star Society possesses the art of summoning spirits, but currently has not found a suitable creature to form a contract with.

The team searched for a while, and after about ten minutes, they found almost no clues except for a few traces of the Rain Village ninja.

—At the time, the shadow clone wanted to exchange a few more blows before finishing him off. After all, the shadow clone felt it was a rare opportunity to have some fun.

As a result, Qingyu disregarded martial ethics and insisted on instantly killing the shadow clone. So, she endured being slashed by Baixing's shadow clone with her right arm holding the sword, and then used her other hand to instantly kill the shadow clone: ​​the shadow clone was gone after just a scratch.

At this point, Shirahoshi's file was temporarily set as missing, and the support team at the Metasequoia Forest camp withdrew.

If any intelligence or trace remains by the end of the war, Shirahoshi will be declared dead in battle: he will be paid a salary of 3.5 million yen, a funeral allowance of 3 million yen, and all his bank deposits and purchased properties will be handed over to his heirs.

When Hiruzen Sarutobi asked Shirahoshi for the name of her successor, she left the name Nono: At the time, the gentle girl was quite happy, thinking that her cheap master wasn't so stingy after all.

but now.

Nonou didn't want to see the money; she just wanted to see Shirahoshi-sensei return. "Tsunade-sensei, you're lying to me, aren't you? Shirahoshi-sensei isn't dead! He's not dead!!"

Inside the white camp, the blonde girl's face was streaked with tears as she clutched Tsunade's collar, who had just returned. Tsunade's combat armor was still damp from the rain.

Tsunade remained silent, unable to respond to the girl's emotions. She could only silently hug the girl's hair and stroke it to comfort her.

Outside the camp, Orochimaru raised his head, gazing wistfully at the gloomy sky: "Weakness leads to death, what is the meaning of life after all...?"

-

Time passed, and in a town called the Curtain Town, Shirahoshi was happily leaning against a building sheltered from the rain, eating the steamed buns she had just bought.

Also, this is the seventh region.

"Nagato, Konan, run!!"

"You bunch of thieves!! We've got you!!"

Shirahoshi wore a sheep-shaped mask with a simple pattern that she had previously purchased using the Transformation Jutsu. She had long, smooth black hair and wore a Japanese-style robe commonly seen in summer, with a white cloth sash tied around her waist.

He took a bite of the fish bun, a specialty of the Land of Rain, and looked at the two bald shopkeepers selling fish and fruit in front of him, who had grabbed Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato.

"Wait a moment."

As he stepped out from under the eaves, he grabbed an umbrella from the wall and used it before approaching the shop owner and the trio: "I'll pay for what they took."

The bald fishmonger was somewhat incredulous, but then he noticed that Shirahoshi's attire was not that of an ordinary person, and that she also carried a knife: a short knife that she had customized using her transformation technique.

"Thirty thousand taels."

“They’ve stolen from us at least several times during this period. Thirty thousand taels isn’t expensive at all.”

"I see." Bai Xing took out a stack of 10,000 taels of banknotes from the Land of Rain from his pocket: before the war, the exchange rate between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire was 2.5 to 1, but now it has reached an astonishing 5 to 1.

That means one tael of Fire Coin can be exchanged for five taels of Rain Coin, and food prices continue to soar during the war...

"Count it. The amount is correct, right?" Before going on the mission, Bai Xing had already taken out 100,000 taels of Fire Country currency to exchange for Rain Coins, preparing to find an opportunity to go on vacation.

It's been over a week now, and I still have 200,000 Rain Coins left. Also, I hear there's a lot of fighting going on outside, and safe towns are now under strict security.

Shirahoshi, being a complete stranger, registered as a wandering samurai upon entering the city. The authorities confirmed that Shirahoshi hadn't used any transformation techniques, thus perfectly evading a thorough check.

Furthermore, Shirahoshi was very well-behaved in the city, basically a homebody except for going between inns and restaurants.

Such a person is not suspicious at all; they can be monitored for a day or two and then let go of.

Shirahoshi respects and likes the rules.

As long as the rules exist, everyone, regardless of who they are, can live safely and relatively freely in this world.

"No, no problem, but are you sure? These kids have nothing to do with you. They're just... just unwanted children." The bald boss knew very well what would happen to orphans, and as someone who ran a small business, there was really nothing he could do to help.

"It's alright. Consider it a good deed I've done." Before leaving, Shirahoshi asked again, "Is it safe to walk outside now? I've been hearing since the day before yesterday that the Konoha ninjas have invaded inside."

The bald boss took the money, glanced at the banknotes, and shook his head: "Young man, you'd better stay here for the time being. It's too dangerous outside."

"Once you leave the safe zone, you may be attacked by ninjas."

The bald fruit vendor next to him scoffed, "What?! Even in a safe zone, if you're alone outside, you could still be robbed of your food and killed by ninjas."

"I see." Bai Xing replied, glancing at the few children who hadn't left. "What? Even though I paid, are you still going to pester me?"

"that......"

"May I invite you to my home?" Yahiko asked with a grin, holding a large watermelon.
