Mission to Kill the Bastard

The next morning.

All things awakened, and the morning clouds filled the sky.

After finishing his training, Chiye Jun ran toward the Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage saw him arrive and greeted him with a smile.

Without another word, Chiye Jun directly used "Garden of Spring"...

Thirty seconds later.

He slowly came back to his senses, but his mind was completely blank about what had just happened.

Chiye Jun grinned and dashed away.

[Proficiency +1]

He knew that before long, Orochimaru would destroy Konoha Village.

The old man's life would soon come to an end as well.

He might as well let him enjoy his remaining years a little more.

So.

Whenever he saw him, he would use Garden of Spring...

That day.

The Third Hokage spread out a pile of D-rank mission scrolls.

"Hmm, Team 7's next mission is..."

Chiye Jun quickly glanced over them.

"Drying natto!"

"Harvesting sweet potatoes!"

"Catching thieves!"

"Babysitting!"

The only thing missing was helping cows milk...

He pulled Naruto over and taught him some new knowledge in a whisper.

Then.

Naruto leaped into the air and immediately put it into practice, shouting:

"Damn it, why are they always these boring odd-job missions? I want to do missions for real ninjas! You lousy old man are bad news!"

Ever since he had been banned from wearing the Divine Robe, Naruto had been in a foul mood.

"What does 'damn it' mean..."

Kakashi met the Third Hokage's gaze, and the old man shook his head as well.

This time, even silent Sasuke sided with Naruto.

"We need to grow stronger as quickly as possible, not waste time."

Iruka, seated beside the Third Hokage, angrily rose to his feet.

"Hey, you two brats..."

The Third Hokage pressed him back down and looked toward Chiye Jun.

"Jun, what do you think?"

Chiye Jun smiled.

He knew full well that they would soon receive the escort mission to the Land of Waves.

They were about to encounter Zabuza Momochi and Haku.

And his plan to "plunder" Kado would also be put into action.

Before long, he would be rich enough to rival a nation...

The thought made him unable to contain his excitement.

It seemed that no matter what world he was in, having money felt damn good!

"Chiye Jun, Lord Hokage is asking you a question," Iruka reminded him.

Chiye Jun came back to his senses and said steadily, "Grandpa Hokage, I also think it's time we took on a truly challenging mission..."

Before he could finish, an ANBU ninja walked in with an elderly man.

"Lord Hokage, bandits have appeared near the border of the Land of Fire. Several villages have been robbed."

The old man stepped forward, his face full of worry.

"Lord Hokage, I am the village chief of Potlid Village. There is a bandit leader named Koinu Shunichiro. He has no conscience whatsoever, bullies men and women alike, commits every evil imaginable, and is utterly vicious. He has made life in our village unbearable."

After saying that, he handed over the money they had gathered.

The Third Hokage narrowed his eyes, then nodded.

"Perfect. We'll assign this C-rank mission to Team 7..."

Though it was only a C-rank mission, at least they would finally get to fight!

The youngsters were overjoyed.

On the way back to prepare, Naruto could not help asking:

"Teacher Kakashi, wiping out bandits will definitely involve fighting, and there has to be danger. Why is this only a C-rank mission?"

Kakashi explained, "C-rank missions only involve enemies like thieves, bandits, and armed groups. Once the other side deploys ninjas, it becomes a B-rank mission or higher."

Meanwhile, Chiye Jun remained silent.

He kept thinking about the name Koinu Shunichiro.

Long gray hair, pretending to be an artist.

He was a complete freak, like a failed tiger painting that looked more like a dog.

No wonder his name had the word 'dog' in it.

He was a hooligan, scum, a filthy beast against humanity!

Could it really be that much of a coincidence?

Was there someone with the same name in the Naruto world too?

Chiye Jun was looking forward to seeing him soon...

Near the forests of the Land of Fire.

A bandit camp.

A sleazy gray-haired man gnawed on a chicken leg.

A large, dark-skinned woman lay in his arms.

Suddenly!

A burst of chaos and clamor erupted outside.

"I'll go take a look!"

He immediately grabbed his sword and walked out of the tent.

In the clearing.

Kakashi and his four team members were crushing the bandits.

For them, dealing with this group of bandits took no effort at all.

Chiye Jun turned to look.

It was that sleazy Koinu Shunichiro!

He spun around and charged over.

"So it really is you, you filthy bitch! Today, I'll grind your bones to dust!"

Koinu Shunichiro froze at his words and asked in confusion, "Who are you? What do you want?"

However.

When he saw the forehead protectors on their arms.

His pupils suddenly shrank!

Konoha ninjas!

Chiye Jun sneered coldly.

"I came to borrow something from you."

Koinu asked in confusion, "Borrow what?"

At that moment, Chiye Jun seemed like a god.

Towering above the despicable bandit leader.

He pointed at him, arrogant and imposing.

"Your dog head."

Koinu's heart suddenly tightened!

However.

Seeing that Chiye Jun was only a kid, he immediately relaxed his guard and drew his sword.

"A brat who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, and you dare act so arrogant!"

At that moment!

Five more black-clad figures emerged from the corner of the camp, attempting to surround Chiye Jun.

More than twenty enemies remained on Kakashi's side.

The battle was in full swing.

Seeing Chiye Jun surrounded, Naruto and Sasuke both wanted to rush over and help.

Chiye Jun shouted, "I can handle them myself!"

Kakashi naturally knew how strong he was and stopped the two of them.

Chiye Jun did not forget to cast Joy Release: Pleasure Technique on them.

Kakashi and the others instantly became far more powerful in battle!

Their morale soared.

And right then!

Sakura ran over by herself...

She had been staying on the outskirts, tossing shuriken around and finding no sense of presence at all.

Now.

Wanting to help Chiye Jun kill the enemies, she ignored Kakashi's orders.

Several shuriken shot forward.

One of them struck a bandit.

"I hit him, I hit him!" Sakura cried in delight.

But right then!

Koinu Shunichiro raised his greatsword and charged at Sakura.

He wanted to seize her as a hostage!

Seeing this, Chiye Jun wanted to stop him, but the remaining four men had surrounded him.

He sneered.

In what seemed like a flash of afterimages.

The four bandits fell dead one after another.

Chiye Jun also witnessed the power of True Ultimate Art: Destructive Foot—Egg Shattering:

With a single kick!

It pierced straight through the abdominal cavity and chest cavity before bursting from the mouth!

Finally, it exploded in midair, blooming into bright-red egg flowers...

Sakura nimbly dodged Koinu Shunichiro.

Kunai and shuriken went biubiubiu.

But right then!

A dark-skinned woman ghosted out of the tent and lunged straight at Sakura...
