Don't Peek at Me Taking a Dump

The sun was setting.

Kakashi rowed until he saw stars, wave after wave of exhaustion washing over him.

"Look, there's an island ahead!"

Shisui suddenly cried out, and Kakashi finally snapped back to his senses.

He had been like a sleepwalker the entire way, seemingly paying little attention to their direction.

Water Release: Water Dragon Vortex!

The Hidden Mist ninja who had ambushed them at noon suddenly appeared, attacking from beneath the sea.

Not only that, he had brought two companions.

Lightning Release: Chidori!

Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!

Kakashi and Shisui struck almost at the same time. It turned out they had long noticed someone following them.

The scene descended into chaos, followed immediately by close-quarters combat.

Shisui used a Crow Clone Technique to fool his opponent, then swiftly took down two enemies.

Kakashi realized he had been a step too slow, and his opponent had once again fled despite his injuries.

Bang!

The man was sprinting wildly across the sea when a massive head suddenly shot up from beneath the water.

The Hidden Mist ninja was swallowed whole, after which the giant sea serpent began devouring the other corpses.

Qian Yun leaped onto the water's surface to flee, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"The smell of blood has drawn a bunch of giant sea serpents here! Hurry to the island and take shelter!"

Boom!

Just as Qian Yun finished shouting, another giant sea serpent suddenly bit down on him.

Splat!

Qian Yun was bitten to pieces, spraying blood all over Shisui and Kakashi's faces.

The two froze in place in shock.

Crunch! Crunch!

Qian Yun was chewed apart and eaten. Tears streamed down Shisui's face as his two-tomoe Sharingan activated.

But even more serpent heads suddenly shot out from beneath the water. The two had nowhere left to run.

Glug! Glug!

Just as their minds went blank, countless bubbles suddenly rose from the seabed, followed by a huge whirlpool.

Splash!

Kakashi and Shisui were sucked into the whirlpool. By the time they tried to escape, it was already too late.

Night fell.

Mist shrouded the ruins of Whirlpool Village, while the chirping of insects rang endlessly through the air.

When Kakashi woke up, he found the surroundings bitterly cold, with a warming campfire beside him.

Qian Yun sat on a rock, cooking food in an iron pot.

It smelled pretty good.

"Y-you... are you a person or a ghost?" Kakashi asked in terror.

Shisui was awakened by the noise and sat up as well.

The boy stared blankly at Qian Yun, his gaze somewhat dull.

Sigh!

Qian Yun sighed. "Haven't you noticed? It's freezing here, and the red spider lilies in the distance are so vivid!

Eat this last meal, then be on your way!

Remember to choose a good family when you reincarnate in your next life!

Don't become ninjas again. There's no future in all this fighting and killing!"

After Qian Yun finished speaking, Kakashi and Shisui lowered their heads and wept.

One of the basic genjutsu techniques: emotional manipulation.

Messing with them for fun seemed pretty interesting too.

Kakashi said, "So this is all I amounted to?

How laughable!

Genius, rules, missions...

To hell with all of it!"

Shisui said, "What will happen to my grandmother? How is she supposed to live alone from now on?

And the clan head's instructions... where does the Uchiha Clan's future truly lie?

Sob... sob...

It's all because I'm too weak. I clearly swore to protect Brother Qian Yun!

But... but...

When Brother Qian Yun was bitten to pieces, and his blood splashed onto my face, I was too scared to move!

I... I..."

The two cried endlessly while Qian Yun continued eating dinner.

After finishing, he went a short distance away, undid his belt, and relieved himself.

Afterward, he felt the urge to take a dump, so he rummaged through his backpack, found a roll of toilet paper, and squatted in the grass.

Kakashi finally came to his senses.

"No! He isn't dead, and neither are we!

Why would a ghost pee, need to squat to take a dump, and smell this bad?"

Hearing that, Shisui wiped away his tears with his sleeve and blankly looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi said speechlessly, "We've been fooled again!

How could the land of the dead have stars and a moon, not to mention insect sounds?"

Shisui's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He then stood up and looked toward where Qian Yun was squatting.

"Brat, don't peek at me taking a dump!"

Qian Yun shouted angrily, and Kakashi and Shisui immediately burst out laughing.

The two finally began eating and drinking, critiquing Qian Yun's cooking skills as they did.

The next morning.

"It's your turn to row today!"

As soon as Kakashi jumped onto the little boat, he sat down with the expression of someone utterly beyond shame.

Shisui broke out in a sweat. Just as he was about to say that he would row instead, Qian Yun grinned and picked up the oars.

However, Qian Yun did not row. He quickly made a small mast, then hung up the blanket from their earlier camping trip.

The little sailboat set off with the wind, leaving Kakashi sweating profusely.

He had expected Qian Yun to play tricks, but he had not expected him to use his brains to shut him up.

How depressing. It made it seem as though Kakashi Hatake was an idiot.

He pursed his lips and sulked.

"Um, Lord Kakashi, don't be angry. I'll give you my egg to eat!"

Shisui tried to mediate, but Qian Yun suddenly cut in.

"Shisui, you're so kind. You're even giving your own egg to Kakashi. If he eats it, he'll grow a third egg!"

"Heh! Hehehe..."

Shisui truly could not hold it in. His snickering drove Kakashi mad.

"Qian Yun, you disgusting bastard! You're the one who grows eggs from eating eggs! I hope you grow eggs all over your body!"

Hahahaha...

Laughter rang continuously from the little sailboat. Even the awkward Kakashi became much more cheerful.

Basic genjutsu was quite useful, especially emotional manipulation combined with the right words.

Three hours later, Qian Yun suddenly sensed violent chakra drifting from ahead.

He immediately lowered the sail and formed a sensory hand sign.

Kakashi and Shisui noticed something was wrong and also used their clans' secret techniques to sense what lay ahead.

There was a small island ten miles away. A barrier had been set up around it, and Hidden Cloud ninjas were trying to capture Two-Tails Matatabi.

Qian Yun's mouth twitched as he immediately raised the sail and changed course.

But it was already too late. Only minutes after the little sailboat turned around, three figures raced toward them at high speed.

"Prepare for battle! Watch out for that dark-skinned guy's Lightning Release!"

As he spoke, Qian Yun took out a scroll and sealed away the little sailboat.

"Don't think you can escape!"

The first to rush over was a tall girl who looked full of fighting spirit.

Crackle!

She opened with Lightning Release: Lightning Scatter, forcing all three of them to use the Body Flicker Technique to pull away.

"Samui, don't let your guard down! The kid in the middle has a Sharingan!"

The short boy rushed over shouting, while the person behind him rapidly formed hand signs.

"Wait, we're just passing through!"

Qian Yun shouted, but they did not listen at all.

Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave!

"Ah..."

This large-scale ninjutsu directly struck Kakashi and Shisui, temporarily robbing them of their combat ability.

Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique Version 4.0.

Qian Yun hid beneath the sea's surface and cast the technique, immediately shrouding the area in dense fog.

"He's underwater, be careful!"

The short boy shouted, but it was already too late.

The three were still forming hand signs when they dropped to their knees the next second, then fell into the water.

[ Ding: Defeated ninja Samui. Obtained trait: Lightning Release Tracking! ]

[ Ding: Defeated ninja Darui. Obtained trait: Lightning Release Growth! ]

[ Ding: Defeated ninja Shi. Obtained trait: Skin Sensory Perception! ]

Two green traits and one blue trait, but Qian Yun had no time to admire them.

He quickly checked Kakashi and Shisui's injuries, then left behind a Water Clone Technique to loot their ninja tool pouches.

"We really were just passing through!"

After saying that, the Water Clone used the Body Flicker Technique and left. The tall girl, Samui, gritted her teeth in fury.

She had gotten her period these past two days. Without her ninja tool pouch, things would be very troublesome.
