Nanaha Yaja

Just as the beautiful Grass Ninja missing-nin walked toward Issui, one of the two Shuriken embedded in the tree trunk behind her turned into Issui in a puff of white smoke. He stood upright on the tree!!!

As it turned out, one of the two Shuriken Issui had thrown was Issui himself, transformed using the Transformation Technique, while the "Issui" who had remained where he was had been created with the Shadow Clone Technique. In fact, after two years of practicing with Shuriken, Issui was already highly accurate. He couldn't possibly have missed unless he had done it on purpose, deliberately throwing wide to make his enemy lower her guard. People were always easiest to attack when they were most pleased with themselves.

Actually, Issui had only wanted to give it a try. If the plan failed, it would mean his enemy was highly experienced in combat. Even an experienced ninja would have had trouble spotting it right away, though a cautious ninja was less likely to fall for it. After all, the Transformation Technique could only last so long.

As for this beautiful big sister, she could be called a complete rookie. Who knew how she had made it across the Land of Fire's border? Tch, the ninja guarding it had been far too careless, letting such a "big shot" in. Could it be that Konoha was short on beautiful women and wanted to guide and educate this woman? (Imagine Lord Third holding flowers, his face "peach-blossom" pink and drool pouring from his mouth as he said to the beauty, "I love you! Join our team of beauties in the Fire's Konoha! Love knows no bounds! Under the Will of Fire of the Fire's Konoha, beauties are flying everywhere! Join our team and let the love of fire fill the ninja world!")

As the saying went, big breasts and no brains made sense. Issui took a careful look at the beauty's chest and cried out at what a prize it was. It was a full 34E, rippling like blue waves. As the beauty advanced, the waves swayed back and forth. A riot of flowers threatened to dazzle the eyes; wave after spring wave lulled one to sleep. In heaven and on earth, there was only it, a soul-shaking wave that surged through the nine heavens. At that thought, Issui found himself a little reluctant. Such a perfect, lovely woman would be finished in the next second. What a pity. Maybe he should capture her and take her back instead. Killing her and leaving her in the wild wasn't good either; Lord Hokage could easily discover it. He might as well capture her and hand her over to the old Hokage. If the old man was pleased, he might even give Issui first prize.

With that decided, Issui acted. His hands quickly formed Hand Seals, and he pressed them against the ground. Lightning Release-Earth Flow.

"Ah~ You..."

After the beauty was attacked, the Issui standing in place dissolved into smoke. Only then did she realize she had fallen into that rotten brat's trap. He wasn't weak to begin with, yet he had deliberately acted like a rookie. The brat was too cunning. After being hit by the lightning-nature attack from the ground, she would be briefly paralyzed, but that brief paralysis could cost her life!!!

Sure enough, when Issui saw that his Ninjutsu had worked, he immediately charged in and smashed a fist into the beauty's slender waist. The tremendous pain made her stomach churn. He wasn't done yet. Issui raised his leg and swept it down onto her shoulder, sending her sprawling onto the ground. Her breasts hit first and bounced, then her little mouth shared a deep, passionate kiss with the earth. Too bad I'm not the one she's kissing, Issui thought.

That still wasn't the end of it. Afraid the woman would resist, Issui used his unpracticed "muscle-separating, bone-dislocating" hands on both her shoulders, working them back and forth several times. Yes, you read that right, several times. Although Issui had gained extensive knowledge of the bones in the human body, he had lacked a test subject to practice on. Now he finally had some experience. Issui wasn't satisfied and wanted to do it a few more times, but then he remembered that she was a beauty and decided against it. (Only just realized that, did you? Good grief...)

"Ah... That hurts like hell! You rotten brat, I'll kill you! I'll pull out your tendons, flay your skin, drink your blood, and feed your bones to the puppies, the little puppies... Let me go, now! I'm telling you, I'm a super-powerful ninja! Let me go right now, or I'll make you pay! Ah..."

Oh, beauty, weren't you a little too confident? The world had created you, but it hadn't taught you to recognize the facts. You were the loser, and your life was in someone else's hands. Honestly, what could anyone say about you? You sounded so sure of yourself. You really were all breasts and no brains. You shouldn't always be talking about killing people. Oh, what a foolish woman. Honestly...

"Tch, what do you mean, 'you'? This young master has a name. Remember it: my name is Issui Kanna. From now on, you're my prisoner. Oh, right, what's your name, big-breasted beauty?" Issui squatted down and gave the arrogant woman two hard smacks with his hand.

"W-what? Prisoner? How could that be? Ah, you bastard, how could you do this? What are you going to do? I'm telling you, I'm Nanaha Yaja, daughter of the Fire Daimyo! You can't do that sort of thing! Let me go, or I'll have old man Third throw you out of Konoha." The woman was finally a little scared.

"Tch, you're the daughter of the Land of Fire's daimyo? Hahaha... That's hilarious. If you're the daimyo's daughter, then I'm the daimyo's dad. Tch, you can't even make up a decent lie. The missing-nin mark on your forehead protector is from Kusagakure. Even if you were a daimyo's daughter, you'd be the daughter of the daimyo of the country the Grass Ninja come from. Besides, who knows if that little country even has a daimyo? That's a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the Land of Fire's daimyo you mentioned. You're just too cute, girl." Issui laughed loudly. Did I hit this woman stupid? She's still acting tough at a time like this. Her name does sound nice, though. Nanaha, Nanaha... According to that legendary detailed guide to Japanese names, was she born under the seventh leaf? Uh, my mind went somewhere dirty.

"Th-that was given to me by one of my samurai. I put it on because I thought it looked fun. I just wanted to dress up as a ninja and play. You bastard, even though I've learned Ninjutsu, I never meant to hurt you! I only wanted to act out a legendary ninja battle. Just let me go. I won't ever dare do it again." Nanaha looked at the brat before her, full of regret. I never expected that after learning Ninjutsu for so long, I wouldn't even be able to beat a brat. Father's ninja said I already had the strength of a Chunin and counted as one of the Shinobi World's "elite." Maybe I just wasn't paying attention and let my guard down, giving this brat an advantage. If I get another chance, I'll definitely beat him flat. As soon as you let me go, I'll show you what I can do. Hahaha, this beautiful genius ninja girl will make you kneel and beg me for mercy!

"Idiot, I bet you're thinking about how you'll beat me up after I let you go, make me kneel and beg you, and keep tormenting me to show that you're a beautiful genius," Issui said with a curl of his lip. Tch, this young master won't fall for tricks meant to fool children.

"Ah... Ah, I'm going to kill you! Kill you again and again, kill you a hundred times over..." Nanaha's expression finally changed drastically. I never expected him to guess! Is this beautiful genius girl going to submit at a demon's feet? You'd better not give me a chance. If I get one, I'll definitely show you what I can do, you brat! This is too hateful...

"All right, we should head back. Otherwise, Konoha's gate will close. Once we're back, I'll hand you over to Lord Hokage. Maybe he'll even reward me. How much money could I get for you? Not only are you a missing-nin, you're also fairly pretty. I'm sure you'll be very useful, so it should be a lot of money. Once I have it, I'll buy little Hinata lots of things. Her clothes should be cuter, and her shoes more comfortable. Her hair is so smooth and soft, so I'll buy a pink bow to tie the ends. And winter's almost here, so I'll get her a pair of little bunny gloves, and..." Issui talked to himself, paying no attention to the beautiful listener beside him. He grabbed the beauty by the waist, tossed her over his shoulder, and carried her toward the Konoha Gate.

"Ah... I'm furious! You brat, don't you know how to respect a beauty? I'm not merchandise! Ah... My arms hurt so much! I curse you to choke to death on your food, choke to death on your water, trip to death while walking, drown in the bath..." Nanaha's face flushed red with anger. This is too unreasonable! This rotten brat is actually selling me to old man Hokage as merchandise, and he's going to spend the money on things for a girl who hasn't even grown up yet! Heavens, I'm a beauty! You should respect my feelings! Why? I'll definitely get revenge. Aren't we about to see old man Third? He'll definitely recognize me. When that happens...

"I'd advise you to save your strength. Once we get to Konoha, you'll have to defend yourself. Though I'd advise you to give up on that, too. Go ahead and yell if you want. These might be the last 'moans' of your life. Sigh, poor kid. Why did you come out here without learning your Ninjutsu properly? A little missing-nin like you, with such lousy skills, actually dared to swagger around Konoha. Good thing you ran into me. If you'd met a slightly stronger ninja, you'd be lucky if you weren't killed and then raped. One random Fire Style attack and you'd be roast meat." Issui spoke with a sigh, smacking the beauty's butt twice with his palm as he talked. You had to admit, it was wonderfully springy.

"Ah... Bastard, I'm going to kill you..."

"Tch, if a mouth could kill, I'd have died who knows how many times by now. But I'm still alive and well, so you'd better save your strength."

"I, I, I..."

"What about you? Stop squirming. You're way too heavy; you're tiring this young master out. I'm carrying you back, and you're enjoying yourself, understand? It's like you're riding in a carriage for free."

Even with the beauty on his shoulder, Issui moved quickly. Before long, he reached the Konoha Gate. Konoha's villagers and ninja stared at him in surprise. He had only been out for a little while, and he'd already brought back a beauty. They had been standing there for ages without finding a single female to chat up, and judging by the look of it, he'd even kidnapped her. The world was really going downhill...

"This is..." Genma Shiranui voiced the question on everyone's mind.

"Oh, she's a missing-nin from Kusagakure I found near the village. She attacked me without success, and I pushed her down instead—no, I mean I captured her. I thought she might be up to something, so I brought her back to hand her over to Lord Hokage," Issui said casually, as though it had been a piece of cake and not worth mentioning.

The people of Konoha didn't react nearly as calmly. This kid really was a genius! He had only attended the Ninja Academy for two years, yet he could already defeat a foreign missing-nin. He was definitely a genius! He didn't even look injured. It was really enough to leave them speechless. Could he have done any better? And he sounded so casual. Did he think a missing-nin was just a blade of grass...?

"Th-this is... too surprising. Kotetsu, close the gate. Come on, Issui, I'll take you to see Lord Third." As an outstanding ninja, Genma quickly recovered. He told Kotetsu to close the gate, then hurried toward the Hokage's office building with Issui.

"Come in. I already know, Issui, Genma."

As soon as they reached the door to the Hokage's office, Issui heard old man Third's aged voice from inside. Tch, spying again. Could you be any more shameless? Doesn't the saying go, "See no impropriety"? You have no sense of public decency.

"Creak~"

Issui and Genma walked in. Genma stood respectfully to one side, while Issui put the woman down from his shoulder. Huh? This prize actually fell asleep. Damn it, you're unbelievable. You could even fall asleep like this? How embarrassing. Angry, Issui kicked the beauty's springy butt twice.

"Ah, which bastard dared kick Lady Nanaha? I'll kill you!"

The three males in the room were dumbfounded. How could she still sleep at a time like this? She was incredible. Even if uncle could put up with it, auntie couldn't.

"Stop yelling. I'm telling you, the man in front of you is our great Lord Third Hokage of Konoha. If you dare act out again, watch out or you'll be punished." Issui gave her another kick.

"Ah, you brat, I'm going to kill you..."
