The new month begins with opening the Superpower Roulette.

After deciding he wanted to leave the village, Uchiha Yoichi spent another two days familiarizing himself with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. Only then did he prepare to see if the Superpower Roulette could refresh a powerful superpower before he departed.

[Sneeze Transformation]: After you sneeze, randomly select a person within ten kilometers and possess their animal form. After transforming into an animal, the person will definitely hear your thoughts. After sneezing again, the other party will end the transformation.

What kind of bizarre ability is this? What does this ability have to do with him?

Uchiha Yoichi pondered carefully and confirmed that this was an almost useless prank ability that had little to do with him. He then closed the Superpower Roulette and stopped paying attention to it.

Too many useless abilities had been drawn over the past year. Uchiha Yoichi, who initially expected the Superpower Roulette to bring him a heaven-defying destiny and help him achieve the Six Paths, now treated it as a routine check-in.

The ability drawn today was clearly a prank, and a random one at that. Uchiha Yoichi couldn't control it. Furthermore, if he remembered correctly, he had already sneezed when he woke up this morning.

After breakfast, Uchiha Yoichi packed his ninja tool bag and, fully armed, headed towards the Hokage Building.

He still had considerable savings at home. Taking missions was Uchiha Yoichi's way of wanting to leave the village. He was not a native-born Uchiha or Konoha resident, so his sense of belonging here was average.

Moreover, Konohagakure seemed large, but over sixty percent of it was residential areas for villagers and ninja clans. There were only a handful of places to explore, and staying here for too long would drive him mad.

Upon arriving at the Hokage Building, Uchiha Yoichi went directly to the Mission Assignment Division.

Normally, the Third Hokage would also handle mission assignments. A-rank and S-rank missions were personally issued by the Third Hokage to ninja. However, when the Hokage was busy, he wouldn't come to the Mission Assignment Division.

"I want to take a mission, preferably a C-rank mission that requires leaving the village. A solo mission to hunt down bandits."

After speaking, Uchiha Yoichi paused and continued with a heavier tone, "It's C-rank, not a fake C-rank that's actually A-rank and disguised as S-rank. Don't mix in any enemy Jonin into the mission again!"

The ninja at the Mission Assignment Division recognized the ninja who was requesting a mission. In the past six months, he had disbanded three mission squads and was known as the 'cold-blooded teammate' who prioritized mission completion above all else, disregarding his teammates' lives – that Uchiha Yoichi.

"Understood."

Although the people at the Mission Assignment Division were unhappy, the previous mission's failure could indeed be blamed on them. Moreover, the other party was an Uchiha, and his gaze wasn't exactly friendly, so the Mission Assignment Division personnel didn't argue.

"There aren't many C-rank missions. There are currently only four that require leaving the village. One is escorting a merchant caravan, which needs a small team. Another two are long-term protection missions, also requiring a ninja team. The last one was just submitted by a client, a resident near the village. Apparently, a wild beast trampled their fields and broke into their houses."

The ninja at the Mission Assignment Division introduced the available missions. Apart from combat, there were very few missions that required a single person.

Especially escort and protection missions, where employers preferred more ninjas, as they couldn't distinguish between ninjas of different strengths.

"Only the last one, clearing out wild beasts, can you take. The rest are D-rank missions, with no restrictions for Chunin. There are also some B-rank missions, but you can only take assassination-type ones."

Uchiha Yoichi was somewhat surprised to hear this, "I can take B-rank missions?"

Although Chunin could take B-rank missions, that was for Chunin squads. The success rate was lower for solo missions due to the lack of teamwork. If there were several failed mission records, it would damage Konoha's reputation.

"Others can't, but Yoichi-san, you can."

Hearing the Mission Assignment Division's words, Uchiha Yoichi immediately realized that his clan and the higher-ups had made arrangements.

"Help me see if there are any suitable B-rank missions."

He accepted a C-rank mission to clear out wild beasts and a B-rank mission to eliminate a yakuza group supported by ninja. The former was reported just today, and Uchiha Yoichi likely crossed paths with the client when he arrived at the Hokage Building.

According to the investigation feedback, it was said to be a wild boar that escaped from the Forest of Death, trampled a field, and then destroyed the house of a village chief near Konohagakure.

The village chief was so frightened that he immediately rushed to Konoha, hoping to hire a ninja to kill the beast.

Beasts that escaped from the Forest of Death were likely to have Chakra within them. However, even with Chakra, they were still unintelligent beasts and did not pose a threat comparable to ninja.

Uchiha Yoichi took this mission purely out of convenience. Killing a wild beast would earn him fifty thousand Ryo, and he wouldn't have to share it with other team members. Thinking about it this way, not having a team was quite good.

At the gate of Konohagakure, he met the village chief who had requested the mission, and Uchiha Yoichi walked towards the village with him.

The attacked village was not far from Konoha; they arrived in ten minutes.

While on the way, Uchiha Yoichi also learned the general situation from the village chief.

The attacker was likely a wild boar, but its tusks were as large as an elephant's, and its body was as big as a small hill. The village chief was terrified at the time, but according to his recollection, its body was conservatively estimated to be four to five meters long.

Such a size was not small even in the Forest of Death, but considering the irregular natural environment for ninja, it was considered normal. The Land of Grass even had bamboo over ten meters thick.

Tracking wild beasts was also simple. Unlike ninja, they couldn't hide their tracks, and the footprints they left behind were obvious.

Uchiha Yoichi observed for a while and then prepared to act to find the beast. "Village chief, wait here for news."

With that, he used the Body Flicker Technique and disappeared before the village chief's eyes. The Lightning Release Chakra Mode required daily stimulation and training of the body with Lightning Release Chakra, so the Body Flicker Technique had become his frequently used Body Flicker Technique.

'How did I turn into a wild boar!?'

Waking up, Tsunade was so shocked she could barely find her bearings.

She had been drinking at home last night, and after waking up today, she found herself in a forest on the outskirts!

Her body had also changed. Her vision was completely different from usual, and when she tried to speak, she only made grunting noises. She couldn't even raise her hand.

As a top medical ninja, Tsunade's understanding of the human body was arguably the best in the Ninja World. She quickly realized that her body was no longer human.

Her body was enormous, her limbs short, covered in foul-smelling mud, and she was very hungry.

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph!!!!"

'Damn bastard, who is playing such a joke on me? I'll kill you once I recover!!'

After realizing she had turned into a wild beast, Tsunade roared in anger. However, what came out of her mouth was just the grunts of a wild boar.

Finally, she reached the riverbank and realized she had turned into a wild boar, and this place seemed to be the Forest of Death.

Normally, it would only take Tsunade ten minutes to leave the Forest of Death, but now, in her boar body, she could barely mobilize any Chakra. She couldn't climb trees or walk on water, and on top of that, she was very hungry. She could only pick one direction and move forward.

After crashing through the fence of the Forest of Death, and spending a little more time, Tsunade found a village next to Konohagakure.

At this point, Tsunade realized she had gone in the wrong direction. However, the hunger in her stomach was unbearable, so she broke into the village chief's house and ate some from the rice bin. Eating raw grain was already the limit of what Tsunade could tolerate; if she had to eat what a boar normally ate, she would rather die.

After eating her fill, Tsunade returned the way she came towards Konohagakure. Her primary goal now was to turn back. In her memory, she recalled Jiraiya using a Ninjutsu that turned people into animals.

However, he turned people into toads. Turning into a wild boar, Tsunade wasn't too sure. But she didn't think Jiraiya did it. If he dared to play such an excessive prank on her, Tsunade would make Jiraiya break another twelve ribs.

Konohagakure. After I get back, I'll find Jiraiya first. But avoiding villagers and Ninja is a hassle, and I can't speak right now.

Just as Tsunade was thinking about how to turn back, a sense of impending crisis, honed by countless battles, instantly made her realize something was wrong. So, she pushed off with her hind legs and leaped forward abruptly.

As soon as Tsunade jumped, six shuriken attacked from several directions behind her, whistling as they embedded themselves in the ground.

Uchiha Yoichi, watching from a tree in the distance, widened his eyes slightly at the sight. Was his shuriken throwing technique really that bad?

Even a wild boar could dodge it?
