A New Mission: Fuji Yukie

Sasuke struggled free from the gentle vortex with all his might, then asked Tsunade, "You're from Konoha..."

Tsunade directly covered Sasuke's mouth and said, "Don't say it!"

Then Tsunade grabbed her chips and ran off. She had to redeem Shizune first, then gamble away all the remaining money!

If I could win once, I could win a second time!

That was Tsunade's conviction!

Sasuke walked out of the casino and wandered aimlessly down the street.

Suddenly, someone called out to Sasuke from the rooftop. "Hey, Sasuke, why aren't you going to the hot springs?"

Sasuke looked up and saw Kakashi.

Kakashi was wearing a bathrobe, crouching on the roof as he smiled at Sasuke.

Sasuke said, "I'm just a little bored."

Kakashi jumped down from the rooftop and said to Sasuke, "By the way, your chakra includes the Lightning Release nature too, right?"

Sasuke nodded.

Kakashi planned to teach Sasuke Chidori.

Kakashi brought Sasuke to an empty clearing. Lightning gathered in his palm, letting out a piercing chirping sound.

Kakashi said to Sasuke, "This is Chidori, an S-rank ninjutsu I developed. It combines chakra shape transformation and nature transformation. Because of its piercing chirping sound, it's called Chidori."

"I once used this technique to cut through lightning, so it's also called Lightning Cutter."

"Because this technique requires piercing the enemy at extreme speed, it needs the Sharingan's support. You're the best candidate for it."

Sasuke watched Kakashi use Chidori several times.

Then Sasuke learned it. He used Lightning Release Ninja Body Technique to activate his cells, then used Chidori to dash forward at high speed!

Sasuke's Chidori was several times faster than Kakashi's!

Kakashi was utterly incredulous. He had never expected Sasuke to learn Chidori in such a short time.

Moreover, his speed was several times faster than Kakashi's, the technique's creator.

After Sasuke stopped, he thought to himself.

The noise produced by condensing Chidori just now had made Sasuke somewhat uncomfortable.

Sasuke tried speeding up the flickering current in Chidori. The next moment, an incomparably piercing chirping sound erupted!

The noise made Kakashi cover his ears as he asked Sasuke, "Sasuke, what are you doing?!"

The Chidori in Sasuke's hand dispersed. He said to Kakashi, "Kakashi-sensei, I was trying to use the noise emitted by Chidori to hurt people. Though sound isn't as fast as Chidori itself, it can inflict damage over a wide area!"

Using Chidori, Sasuke created a new ninjutsu: Chidori Cry!

The powerful noise would briefly deafen anyone who heard Chidori Cry. If it lasted too long, it could even rupture their eardrums!

Just then, Kakashi suddenly tilted his head.

Inside his mind, the Mind Transfer Technique activated.

Nara Shikaku said to Kakashi, "Kakashi, there's an A-rank mission. Does Team Seven want to take it?"

Kakashi said, "What's an A-rank mission? Team Seven can even complete S-rank missions, but we're on vacation..."

Nara Shikaku said, "But it's a mission in the Land of Snow. I thought you'd go..."

The Land of Snow?

Kakashi fell silent for a moment, then said to Nara Shikaku, "Vacation over!

Tell me, what's the mission?"

Nara Shikaku said, "Escort the big star Fuji Yukie to the Land of Snow for filming..."

Two days later, Konoha.

Inside Konoha's Grand Theater, Sasuke yawned. The movie playing on the screen, The Snow Princess's Ninja Arts Scroll, was far too boring.

Still, the female lead, Fuji Yukie, was quite pretty.

Apparently, she was only eighteen this year.

Sasuke yawned, looking completely indifferent. Meanwhile, when Naruto heard the line, "No matter what kind of danger you encounter, never give up,"

he was actually moved to tears.

When Sasuke saw Naruto wipe away a tear, and it looked like those tears would splash onto him the next moment, Sasuke quickly left the theater. After Hinata saw Sasuke leave,

she also left the theater. Hinata asked Sasuke, "Sasuke-kun, don't you like it? Miss Fuji Yukie is the most famous movie star in the entire ninja world."

Sasuke said, "If it weren't for this damn mission, we'd still be vacationing in the Land of Springs~

I still haven't gone to the hot springs with Hinata yet~"

As he spoke, Sasuke glanced at Hinata.

Hinata's face instantly turned red. She nervously hugged her chest and said to Sasuke, "No, no! Sasuke-kun, you can't be naughty~"

Sasuke shook his head. Suddenly, a girl with dark blue hair rode a white horse straight over the theater and fled outside!

"Damn it, I don't want to go to the Land of Snow!"

Several brown horses chased after Fuji Yukie. "Miss Fuji, the finale of our movie has to be filmed in the Land of Snow!"

"Then I quit! Isn't it normal to replace the female lead halfway through a movie?"

"But you're Fuji Yukie!"

Sasuke watched Fuji Yukie atop the white horse. He had not expected her to look even better in person than she did on the screen.

After activating his cells with Lightning Release Ninja Body Technique, Sasuke leaped across the rooftops and chased after Fuji Yukie.

Sasuke's speed after using Ninja Body Technique was far greater than the white horse's. Sasuke stood on a rooftop,

watching Fuji Yukie race past. Once she had reached a safe distance, electric currents flickered in Sasuke's hand.

"Chirp!!"

The noise created by Chidori instantly shook the people chasing Fuji Yukie off their horses. They clutched their ears in pain.

Sasuke stopped Chidori Cry.

Then he chased after Fuji Yukie!

By the Naka River, Fuji Yukie jumped off her horse. The white horse lowered its head to drink from the river.

Then Sasuke walked over to Fuji Yukie and said, "Miss Fuji, could I have an autograph?"

Fuji Yukie did not even glance at Sasuke. Already irritated, she directly mounted the white horse, intending to leave.

However, when the white horse saw Sasuke, it seemed as though it had seen some sort of monster and immediately went weak in the legs.

Seeing the forehead protector on Sasuke's forehead, Fuji Yukie folded her arms and said, "Do you Konoha ninja get to intimidate my horse?"

Sasuke said, "Not at all. It's just that you're part of my mission."

Fuji Yukie: "???"

Electric currents surfaced in Sasuke's hand, but they did not emit that piercing chirping sound. A current passed through Fuji Yukie's body. Her heartbeat quickened, her face flushed, and her entire body went limp, as though she would fall from the horse at any moment.

Sasuke jumped onto the horse and slapped its rump. The white horse immediately galloped away.

Fuji Yukie lay limply in Sasuke's arms, her heartbeat racing without end.
