Potions: The Scars Behind Are a Ninja's Shame!

"We have many Ninja in Konoha, so there are bound to be some eccentric ones..."

With the two experimental subjects in hand, Kazeka, in a much better mood, kindly explained to Huangshi:

"Therefore, don't let the actions of a few individuals reflect on Konoha as a whole!"

"Men are truly disgusting!"

Unlike Kazeka, Hinata, now possessed by a delinquent young lady, looked at Kiba Inuzuka with disdain:

"Someone who acts shamefully and has his head full of lewd thoughts about dog girls is beyond saving.

I'm even considering whether I should personally eliminate him!"

"Hinata, don't you stand there and mock me..."

Perhaps the effects of the medicine hadn't worn off, or perhaps Akamaru's actions had excited Kiba.

He retorted to Hinata, which was rare:

"Ninja will do anything to win; biting someone a few times is nothing. As for Akamaru, I'm mainly worried..."

Kiba gritted his teeth:

"Akamaru is still so young; he shouldn't be acting so extreme. Of course..."

He trailed off, his expression suddenly becoming a bit perverted:

"Who could resist when Akamaru transformed into such a cute dog girl before?

I really don't want him to do anything that would defile himself!"

"Kazeka, can you still handle Huangshi by yourself?"

Hinata's gaze grew more annoyed:

"I want to get rid of this trash right now!"

"Let's deal with that after we capture Huangshi..."

Kazeka dissuaded Hinata:

"Huangshi has higher research value; I want to preserve him as intact as possible. Kiba..."

Kazeka looked at Kiba Inuzuka in the distance, who was affectionately petting Akamaru:

"Stop fooling around over there and come help.

Otherwise, I'll run another experiment on Akamaru, preventing him from transforming ever again!"

"Kazeka, I dare you?"

"Hm?"

"I'm coming to help right now!"

"Looking at you three, it seems you've got me cornered..."

While fighting, they still had the mood to banter. Kazeka and the other two's relaxed demeanor made Huangshi's expression even more sinister:

"The only reason I wasted so much time was to help those two useless wastes, Zhenyou and Guqi.

Since they're not living up to expectations, don't blame me for abandoning them..."

As he spoke, Huangshi took a hit from both Kazeka and Hinata, creating a distance of five to six meters.

He quickly formed hand seals, and by the time the three got close again, his legs had already begun to sink into the ground!

"This is my most proud Ninjutsu, Earth Style - Earth Dragon Vein Technique.

With this technique, I can move freely through the earth, immune to most attacks. Even a Jonin can't do anything to me in a short period!"

As he finished speaking, Huangshi completely submerged himself into the ground. Hinata's face darkened, and Kiba Inuzuka angrily shouted:

"Damn it, he got away! He's a Chunin, yet he has no fighting spirit!"

"With me, a Jonin, watching over this place, of course, he had to run..."

Kurenai Yuhi, who had been observing the commotion, jumped down from a tree:

"How was it, little ones? This is what a Ninja is.

Although you pushed him to the brink with your Genin strength, failing to capture him means the mission is a failure.

However, reaching this standard in your first real combat is quite good. I'll take it from here..."

Kurenai Yuhi stretched her wrists:

"A mere Chunin daring to escape in front of me is truly audacious..."

"Teacher, you don't need to act yet..."

Kazeka showed no disappointment in the mission's failure. Instead, his face was filled with disdainful mockery:

"As a Chunin, he didn't even notice my subtle tricks during the fight.

For such a person to think of escaping is a pipe dream!"

As his voice fell, a mound of earth suddenly bulged from the ground in the distance.

Suddenly, Huangshi burst out and roared at everyone:

"I am Huangshi. Retreat is a lifelong disgrace. I will be defeated, but I will never retreat!"

"Whoa..."

Kiba Inuzuka looked at him in surprise:

"This guy's state is a bit off. He was just acting smug about escaping, so why is he so passionate now?"

"He could have escaped, but he ran back to get himself killed. This Huangshi is trash, but he's not stupid enough to do something like this..."

Hinata frowned and looked at Kazeka:

"What did you do to him?"

"It's a degraded version of a battlefield stimulant..."

Hearing his experiment being discussed, Kazeka's spirits lifted:

"You all know about the battlefield stimulant designed by me and already in use by the village.

It can reignite the fighting spirit of ninjas on the battlefield who have lost their will to fight. This drug is a defective product from my experiments.

It doesn't increase a ninja's strength, but it ridiculously boosts their fighting spirit.

It allows ninjas to ignore any danger. Even a Genin would dare to charge at five Kage gathered together, or at a Tailed Beast capable of destroying the world!"

"So, in simple terms, it makes someone clueless and brave enough to charge at the Five Kage, right?"

Kiba Inuzuka's eyes widened in astonishment:

"Kazeka, your drug is truly quite peculiar!"

"Its peculiarity doesn't stop there..."

Kazeka continued:

"When the drug takes effect, it's intermittent, so it has a huge flaw.

We need to seize the opportunity and not give this guy a chance to escape!"

"Kazeka, is it? You're a terrifying fellow. I'll remember you. Next time we meet, I won't let you off so easily..."

Huangshi's current predicament was completely beyond Kazeka's expectations.

He couldn't fathom how he, a Chunin, had fallen prey to the schemes of Kazeka, a mere Genin.

However, now was not the time to dwell on it. He had just emerged from the ground facing Kazeka and the others, and in the next second, he turned and retreated again.

However, as he burrowed back into the ground, his mind suddenly went blank. When he regained clarity, he was already back in his original spot.

From his mouth, he involuntarily roared:

"A scar on the back is a ninja's disgrace! A warrior's tombstone should face the enemy!"

Huangshi: "...Σ(°△°|||)︴"

"Don't just stand there, attack!"

While Huangshi was bewildered, Kazeka, who was prepared, launched a fierce assault.

Five or six surgical knives shot out, leaving three wounds on Huangshi, who was desperately defending himself!

After enduring attacks from Kiba Inuzuka and Hinata, Huangshi, having regained control of his body, left two harsh words and fled again.

Less than a minute later, Huangshi, shouting "I'd rather die standing than live kneeling," burst out from his original spot again!

Kiba Inuzuka and Hinata attacked Huangshi with strange expressions. Under Kazeka's drug, Huangshi couldn't even mount a basic counterattack!

Watching Huangshi being repeatedly attacked, escaping, bursting out again, and then being attacked once more.

Kurenai Yuhi, while marveling at the potency of Kazeka's drug, muttered to herself:

"This scene really looks like a whack-a-mole game at an arcade!"
