Chiye Jun spotted a shifting figure.
He immediately crouched and hid in the reeds, slowly inching forward.
Ino!
Chiye Jun recognized her.
She had come to pick flowers for the flower shop...
Ino seemed to sense something unusual!
She suddenly turned around!
Frightened, Chiye Jun quickly lowered his head.
Ino did not spot him.
But she did spot a terrifying giant green snake!
She let out a scream.
Though she was already a genin and could easily kill the snake with a kunai.
What girl wasn't afraid of snakes?
Ino was utterly terrified and began crying for help again.
"Damn, it's just a snake. Is that really worth crying for help?"
With that thought, Chiye Jun secretly parted the reeds again.
Only then did he realize that Ino had been scared by the giant green snake.
Just then!
The giant green snake suddenly leaped up and lunged at Ino...
Chiye Jun reacted swiftly, pulling out a kunai and hurling it at the snake.
The giant green snake soon stopped moving.
Ino trembled like a flower in the wind, wailing and shrieking.
Chiye Jun could only stand up and walk out.
"Jun!!!"
After saying that, he stepped forward and looked at the snake on the ground.
It was fine until he looked—then he was startled!
The snake's back was emerald green, its eyes orange-red, and a white stripe ran along its sides.
A bamboo pit viper?!
A venomous pit viper!
Good thing he had saved her in time.
Just then, Ino suddenly rubbed her butt and frowned. "Ow... It hurts so much. My leg is numb too..."
Chiye Jun suddenly recalled the check-in mission:
Use Ten Thousand Poisons Yellow Springs to detoxify.
His chance had come!
He stepped forward and said, "Ino, that was a bamboo pit viper. The venom is acting up now, so let me take a look."
Upon hearing this, Ino's face flushed red with embarrassment.
Chiye Jun imagined:
If this were Hinata, she would definitely have fainted.
If it were Sakura, I'd probably have lost half my life...
Ino hesitated as she reached down to feel it!
Sure enough, it was hard and painful, swollen into a huge lump.
Her face drained of color, and her eyes reddened.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Jun..."
Chiye Jun crouched down.
"Don't worry. I know a detoxification technique. I'll remove the poison for you."
Chiye Jun prepared to use Ten Thousand Poisons Yellow Springs.
He gently placed his hands over the wound. Chakra gathered, and a ball of green light surged forth...
Ino gritted her teeth, her face flushed scarlet.
"Ino, why did you come all the way out here?"
By then, Ino's swelling had gone down, and she felt much better.
"I came to pick flowers for the flower shop. I didn't expect to run into a snake..."
Picking flowers!
An idea struck Chiye Jun!
"I'll help you!"
With that, he summoned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
Hundreds upon thousands of figures packed the sea of flowers, quickly gathering countless blooms.
The system popped up at that moment:
[Ding! The fourth usage method of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique has been discovered—flower picking]
After the treatment ended, Ino's wound had healed, and all the poison had been purged.
"All right, the poison has been cleared!"
Ino smiled happily.
"Thank you, Jun. I'll treat you to barbecue!"
At the same time, the system issued a reward.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the check-in mission. You have been awarded the secret technique Konoha Dragon God]
Konoha Dragon God!
It was an ancient secret technique.
It was the ultimate taijutsu created by Master Chen, Konoha's king of taijutsu.
Moreover, only Master Chen had mastered it!
When Konoha Dragon God was activated, the user could spin their body at high speed to create a tornado, drawing themselves or surrounding objects into it and slicing up their opponent. This taijutsu was incredibly powerful!
When Master Chen was resurrected during the Fourth Shinobi World War, he instantly defeated Might Guy when Guy was not using the Eight Gates.
Unfortunately, Konoha Dragon God had not been passed down to future generations, and the ancient taijutsu gradually faded into obscurity.
Although Lee later used the Front Lotus to exploit Konoha Dragon God's weakness.
It was still an insanely powerful taijutsu move.
Just then.
Three figures quietly appeared...
An hour earlier...
Naruto had rushed over to find Chiye Jun.
"Tomorrow is my birthday, and he hasn't made a move at all. I can't let him forget—I need to remind him..."
By coincidence, Sasuke had also come to discuss taijutsu with Chiye Jun.
But after knocking for ages, they found no one home.
At that moment, Hinata had also come with Hanabi to play with Chiye Jun.
After asking around, they learned that he had headed toward the Valley of the End.
"What's he going there for?" Sasuke wondered.
Naruto said excitedly, "I know! He must be picking flowers for me—a birthday present!"
"Childish..." Sasuke sneered and turned to leave.
"Hey, Mr. Cool, why don't we go find him together?" Naruto suggested.
Sasuke thought, Could he be training Water Release by the river...?
Thinking that, he nodded in agreement.
Hinata asked softly, "Can I come with you?"
Sasuke nodded.
With her there, finding someone would be easier...
So Hinata took Hanabi home, then followed the two of them to the Valley of the End.
The Hyuga Clan's Byakugan also had to be trained before it could be activated.
Hinata had already awakened hers.
But she only possessed the abilities of the Eye of Insight and the Telescopic Eye.
When they arrived in the valley and looked out over the lush sea of flowers, Naruto's head began to ache.
"Whoa! It's so huge! Where are we supposed to find him?"
Sasuke said to Hinata, "Can you take a look?"
Hinata nodded.
At once, her eyes turned pale blue-white, veins bulged around them, and black markings appeared in her pupils.
Hinata quickly found Chiye Jun.
There was another woman beside him...
Her mind turned to mush, and a thousand emotions churned within her, as though a bottle of vinegar had been overturned.
Holding back her tears, she pointed ahead, then fainted onto the grass...
