Slitting Mizuki's Throat

Konoha Forest.

Chiye Jun looked at the battered and bruised Mizuki:

A kind expression;

A refined temperament;

A handsome appearance;

Yet his heart was utterly twisted and dark!

He knew that lonely Naruto needed comfort, and used warmth to conceal his vicious scheme.

With a silver tongue, he incited ignorant Naruto into making a terrible mistake.

While the mantis stalked the cicada, the oriole waited behind.

Just like in real life, some people smiled pleasantly to your face while stabbing you in the back.

People like that were fucking hateful!

But their endings were often miserable.

After Mizuki broke out of prison and defected to Orochimaru, he became a disposable pawn.

Invincible sleazebag, getting exactly what he deserved!

Chiye Jun believed:

When facing an enemy who wanted your life, you should not use an embroidery needle to remind them of your existence.

Instead, when they were at their most relaxed—

You should stab them hard!

"You think having Water in your name means you can stand alongside the other big shots? The difference is like heaven and earth!"

"Today! I'll end your suffering early!"

At that moment.

Naruto's morale soared after defeating Teacher Mizuki!

He nestled in Iruka's arms, acting all lovey-dovey.

The opportunity had come!

Chiye Jun carried the Kusanagi Sword and walked up to the unconscious Mizuki...

Splat!

The blade sliced directly through the carotid artery, and blood gushed out.

"I'll stab you to death!"

The agonizing pain woke Mizuki.

He clutched his throat and stared at Chiye Jun, his face filled with shock and despair.

"You should thank me. Otherwise, once you fall into that one-minute man's arms, your life will be even worse than death!"

Very soon!

Mizuki painfully closed his eyes.

Then, Chiye Jun sighed softly:

After Mizuki, there would be no more Hokage...

Iruka noticed something was wrong and cried out, "Chiye Jun! What are you doing?!"

At the same time.

Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi witnessed everything through the crystal ball, and his pipe fell to the floor in shock.

This little fellow had acted so decisively!

He immediately stood up and vanished with the Body Flicker Technique.

In Konoha Forest.

Iruka failed to save Mizuki.

Naruto stood there stupidly, staring motionlessly at Chiye Jun.

Chiye Jun was not too worried about killing someone.

Because he knew very well that the Third Hokage already knew Mizuki's character and scheme.

He had effectively pulled a poisonous fang from Konoha.

Chiye Jun counted on his fingers:

"Seven Root ninjas, Mizuki... Damn, in just a few months, I've killed eight..."

"Chiye Jun, this kind of matter should have been left for Lord Hokage to decide!!!"

Iruka's expression was ugly.

Faced with the questioning, Chiye Jun did not panic.

Having lived two lives, his skin had long been trained to be as thick as a city wall.

He quickly came up with an excuse.

But before that, he stripped off his shirt, took a mirror out of his space, and walked over to Iruka.

"What are you doing?"

"Teacher Iruka, please hold the mirror up to my back."

Then, Chiye Jun used the Mystical Palm Technique.

The green glow reflected off the mirror and onto the wound on his back...

"Medical ninjutsu can be used like that..."

Iruka was dumbfounded.

After coming back to his senses, he still said sternly:

"Chiye Jun, how could you kill him without authorization?!"

But at that moment, Chiye Jun received the system's reward.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You raised Naruto's morale and perfectly dealt a devastating blow to Mizuki. You are specially rewarded with Tailoring Skill and a self-created Lightning Release ninjutsu.]

Pfft~~~

Chiye Jun was dumbstruck!

What the hell?

What use did a grown man like him have for tailoring skills?

Was it trying to turn him into some sissy who embroidered flowers...

This was too fucking ridiculous.

And what was this self-created Lightning Release ninjutsu?

Utter nonsense!

"Chiye Jun! Did you hear what I said? Why did you kill him?!"

Iruka interrupted his wandering thoughts.

Chiye Jun came back to his senses.

His acting skills and talk-no-jutsu kicked in:

"...Teacher Mizuki used the Clone Technique several times today. Just now, I thought that was another clone too. You are my favorite teacher, and Naruto is my best friend. For your safety, I stabbed him, but I never expected it to be the real body..."

That lie...

Was incredibly believable!

It made perfect sense both emotionally and logically!

Iruka began to imagine things:

"Chiye Jun is only a boy."

"He really was deceived by Mizuki's clones just now."

"It was understandable that he would try to stab a clone."

With that thought, his expression softened considerably. He sighed and said:

"The Clone Technique has no physical body. It is merely a visual trick. Besides, you should have asked me first."

Chiye Jun lowered his head and muttered, "Teacher Iruka, I'm sorry. My fundamentals are not solid enough."

After saying that, he removed the forehead protector tied around his arm and handed it to Iruka.

"What are you..."

"I don't even understand the Clone Technique. I'm not worthy of being a ninja. Please take this back!"

Yet Chiye Jun was laughing wildly inside.

Sure enough.

How could softhearted Iruka endure such a sorrowful performance?

His heart was touched, and he hurriedly put the forehead protector back on him.

"My child, you were already outstanding today. You are more than qualified to become a ninja..."

Only then did Chiye Jun smile and say, "Thank you, Teacher!"

Naruto finally snapped out of his shock as well.

"Wow! Chiye Jun, you're so awesome! I admire you so much!"

Iruka asked in confusion, "What does 'awesome' mean?"

"Awesome can also mean badass or incredible. It describes someone as powerful and fierce..."

Just as he explained, a figure suddenly appeared.

Hiruzen Sarutobi!

"Lord Hokage!"

"Grandpa Hokage."

The Third nodded and looked thoughtfully at Chiye Jun.

After the medical team arrived, Hiruzen Sarutobi gave them a few instructions before taking Chiye Jun away.

Hokage Building office.

The Third said, "That excuse about the Clone Technique may fool Iruka, but it cannot fool me. You killed Mizuki on purpose!"

The old man had seen through him...

Chiye Jun immediately said:

"Then, Grandpa Hokage, do you think a sinister bastard like Mizuki deserved to die?"

Only then did the Third pat his shoulder and take out a large banana, handing it to him.

"Don't be nervous. Mizuki plotted to steal the forbidden scroll first, and both you and Naruto were victims. I will keep this matter quiet and go along with your explanation about the Clone Technique. But if you encounter something like this again, you must never act rashly. After all, many people are watching you..."

Chiye Jun smiled and nodded.

Through this incident, the Third saw a ruthless streak and wildness in Chiye Jun.

These were qualities a leader had to possess!

The softheartedness of a saint could be fatal...

If properly controlled and trained, he would surely accomplish great things in the future.

The Third adjusted his hat and suddenly had an idea:

Have Chiye Jun join the Anbu for training.

"But it should wait until after he becomes a Chunin..."

After returning home, Chiye Jun summoned the system and carefully studied the reward: the self-created Lightning Release ninjutsu.

After some experimentation, Chiye Jun created a new ninjutsu!

"Lightning Release: Egg Ball!"

Five or six blue electric spheres the size of eggs danced in his palm.

Unlike Raiga of Mist Village's lightning balls.

Egg Ball had no killing power, but it came with a paralyzing effect.

Just then, someone suddenly knocked on the door!

When he opened it, he saw Naruto.

"Hehe, perfect. I'll use him for a test..."

From a pavilion in the neighboring Hyuga Compound, Hinata secretly watched this way...
