Enfirea Template

After leaving Konoha, Orochimaru began observing his two students.

Natsuki and Nawaki were both leaving the village for the first time, and upon their departure, they both appeared quite curious, looking around at everything.

But not a moment later, a difference emerged.

Because Natsuki quickly calmed down.

Orochimaru nodded slightly.

Compared to Nawaki, Natsuki was much more like a ninja.

Looking at it now, Tsunade making Natsuki a teammate of Nawaki was indeed a very good choice.

A team needs a tactical core.

Especially with a personality like Nawaki's.

If there is no one to watch over him at all times, it is very easy for something to go wrong.

"I will assign the tasks."

Orochimaru spoke up.

"Teacher, haven't we not arrived yet? Is there some other task?"

Nawaki asked in confusion.

"There is only this one task."

Orochimaru explained, "I am talking about what you need to do during the journey to the mission."

He quickly began to make arrangements.

Simply put, he wanted Natsuki and Nawaki to act as sensory ninjas, keeping an eye on the surroundings at all times.

It was rare for Orochimaru to say so much at once.

Natsuki and Nawaki both listened very carefully.

These words were valuable experience, and they might save their lives one day.

"Go, Saburo!"

Nawaki used the Summoning Jutsu to call out his ninja dog.

Ninja dogs have a keen sense of smell and are very helpful in detecting strangers.

Natsuki also summoned his ninja dog, Black Flower.

He and Nawaki walked at the front and back of the group, observing the surroundings for any abnormalities.

Orochimaru walked between them, telling them whatever precautions came to mind.

The journey was uneventful, and soon it was evening.

"During a mission, you must try to avoid all open flames."

Orochimaru opened a bento box and said.

Natsuki and Nawaki were well-prepared and also took out their bento boxes.

After dinner, the two began to discuss the bandit suppression.

The bandits were located on a mountain, and there were about twelve of them.

Only the Bandit Leader was a ninja; the others were not.

"We will climb up from the back of the mountain."

Natsuki suggested, "We'll launch a sneak attack under the cover of night."

His Megumi Fushiguro template required him to assassinate a Chunin and a Special Jonin.

The Bandit Leader this time might be a Chunin, which fit the criteria, so he naturally could not miss this opportunity.

"I have no objections."

Nawaki nodded and said.

If it were up to him to make the plan, he would definitely just charge in directly and not go through so much trouble.

"If we are discovered, we can set a fire to create confusion."

Natsuki added, "The Bandit Leader's strength is unknown, so whoever sees him must provide immediate support."

"A good idea."

Orochimaru praised.

In his view, for a seven-year-old Natsuki to think of so much already made him a natural-born ninja.

"You two will take the night watch tonight."

Orochimaru said again.

"Yes, teacher."

Natsuki and Nawaki said in unison.

Another new day had arrived.

After walking for two days, they finally reached their destination.

During these two days, Orochimaru had spoken a great deal, making Natsuki mistakenly believe that he was essentially a chatterbox.

It had to be said that when it came to being a teacher, he could be considered quite excellent.

Setting Nawaki aside, Orochimaru was actually quite good to Anko Mitarashi.

When he defected, he had even asked for her thoughts, and when she didn't agree, he didn't force her.

When they met again later, Anko Mitarashi had tried to kill him, yet he still showed mercy and did not take her life.

Night fell.

Natsuki and Nawaki exchanged a glance before heading up the mountain.

The mountain was not particularly tall, but since they were climbing the back side, it was very steep.

Fortunately, they were Ninja, so a steep mountain was nothing to them.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at a spot not far from the summit.

"You take the left, I'll take the right?"

Nawaki asked in a low voice.

Natsuki nodded.

Both of them leaped up simultaneously, rushing toward the two bandits guarding the back of the mountain at extreme speed.

They covered the mouths of the two bandits, and with a swipe of the Kunai held in their right hands, blood sprayed out.

"How are you holding up?"

After setting the bandit down, Natsuki looked at Nawaki.

"I'm fine."

Nawaki took a deep breath and said, "It's just that I'm not used to killing someone for the first time."

Everyone reacted differently to killing.

Perhaps because he had lived two lives, Natsuki did not feel any discomfort.

"Hurry up."

Natsuki walked toward the left side of the Bandit Stronghold.

Seeing this, Nawaki headed toward the right.

It was now the middle of the night, and apart from the patrolling bandits, the others were all fast asleep.

Natsuki approached a wooden hut and saw a bandit sleeping through the window.

He threw a poisoned Senbon directly.

The Senbon struck the bandit in the throat.

The bandit opened his eyes instinctively and clutched his throat, wanting to say something, but nothing came out, and he eventually fell into an eternal sleep.

Natsuki continued forward, killing three more bandits in the same manner.

But just then, a scream rang out from not far away.

The entire Bandit Stronghold woke up in an instant.

It seemed Nawaki had alerted the bandits.

Natsuki had his suspicions, but he didn't rush out to rescue him, choosing instead to hide in the shadows.

The next second, a roar echoed.

A water dragon surged out, rampaging through the Bandit Stronghold.

It was Nawaki's Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind Nawaki.

He threw a punch directly at Nawaki's head.

Nawaki reacted, but could only defend in a hurry.

He turned around and blocked the punch with his hands held in front of him.

Seeing that his first strike failed, the Bandit Leader immediately followed up with a sweep kick, hitting Nawaki's legs.

Nawaki felt the pain as his body fell backward.

"Fire!"

The sudden shout made the Bandit Leader look over instinctively.

He saw that the entire Bandit Stronghold was ablaze.

"There's another one?"

The Bandit Leader hesitated instantly.

Nawaki was able to use Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique at such a young age; his identity was certainly extraordinary.

Now that another person had appeared, continuing the fight might cost him his life.

Nawaki did not know what he was thinking, but he seized the opportunity and immediately formed hand seals.

Water Release: Wild Water Wave!

He opened his mouth and spat out a torrent of water.

"Get lost!"

The Bandit Leader drew his ninja sword to cleave the water flow, then turned and fled.

Natsuki finally made his move.

One Sword Style: Iai: Lion Song!

He transformed into a blurred gust of wind in the night, accompanied by a terrifying edge that pierced right through the Bandit Leader.

The Bandit Leader's body shuddered; he looked down instinctively and saw the tip of a blade protruding from his chest.

Natsuki's Sword of the Thunder God had run him through from the back, piercing his heart.

With his death, the remaining bandits completely lost the will to resist and were quickly dealt with.

"How are you?"

Natsuki looked at the limping Nawaki and asked.

"I've got some bruises."

Nawaki sat on the ground, pulled up his pant leg, and looked at his lower leg as he spoke.

"I have medicine here."

Natsuki took out a bottle, poured out a small amount of liquid, and applied it to Nawaki's lower leg.

Nawaki winced, but he endured the pain and didn't cry out.

In the Ninja World, besides Medical Ninjas, there was also a profession called a Physician.

Although they could not use Medical Ninjutsu, they knew how to concoct medicine.

In fact, Physicians were the mainstream.

After all, Medical Ninjas were far too rare.

As a ninja, keeping various healing medicines on hand was standard procedure.

And the most famous medicinal merchant in Konoha was the Nara Clan.

[You have awakened the Enri Emmot template.]

Natsuki's movements paused involuntarily.

Who is this?

He instinctively looked at the newly awakened template.

Natsuki's heart shook.

Three formulas flooded into his mind.

These three potions were truly incredible things!

The only problem was that these three formulas were very troublesome.
