"Lord Chen, are you sure... you want to take this mission?"
Behind the counter of the mission center, the middle-aged uncle looked at the order form pointed at by Senju Chen. The expression on his face was a little weird, even wonderful.
"Well, that's it." Senju Chen nodded, his face still showing that harmless and well-behaved look.
"Um...Lord Chen, it's not me who talks too much." The middle-aged uncle lowered his voice and came closer. With a bit of concern to please Kazuma, he kindly reminded, "Although this mission is only D-level, the difficulty is not ordinary. That's just called 'Tora's cat has a very fierce temper. Several waves of Genin's team have failed before, and all of them came back with luck. You... are alone, why don't you find something easier? For example, help Nara Clan weed weeds or something?"
He really didn't want to see this young master of the Senju Clan, the future "God of Shinobi" of Konoha, being scratched to the point of disgrace by a cat in the first mission.
If this spreads out, his face as a task dispatcher will be disgraced, and he might even be angered by Lady Tsunade. Thinking about that person's fists makes people tremble.
"It doesn't matter, I just like challenges." Senju Chen said with a smile, but his tone was unquestionable.
Just kidding, that's what I've been waiting for!
Senju Chen felt happy for a long time.
This is the legendary creature that has been running through the entire early stage of Hokage, making countless Genin teams frightened, and its appearance rate is comparable to that of the protagonist group - the evil cat "Tora"!
No ninja career is complete without catching "Tora" Konoha Genin!
This is no longer a simple D-Rank Mission, it is a kind of inheritance, a sense of ritual, and the most down-to-earth step to integrate into the world.
This is his first task. If he wants to do it, he should do the most representative one.
Seeing Senju Chen's insistence, the middle-aged uncle couldn't say anything else, so he could only help him go through the task acceptance procedures with a grimace, and the wrinkles on his face almost turned into a chrysanthemum.
"This is the client's address and the photo of 'Tora', Lord Chen, you... be careful."
"Thank you."
Senju Chen took the information, turned around and walked out of the mission center.
The afternoon sun shone warmly on his body, dispelling the coldness in the Orochimaru laboratory. He stretched out, his bones making a slight crunching sound, and looked at the photo in his hand.
In the photo, a rich-looking, orange-and-white fat cat is holding its head proudly, its eyes are extremely sharp, and there is a pink bow tied around its neck, which forms a strong contrast with its fierce eyes.
"Tora... I'm coming." The corner of Senju Chen's mouth raised an imperceptible arc.
Let me meet you, this Shinobi World mythical beast that gives even Team 7 a headache.
According to the address, Senju Chen quickly found the client's home.
This is a very grand mansion in Konoha, and there are even two guards at the door. When they saw the mission scroll presented by Senju Chen, the expressions of the guards were exactly the same as those of the middle-aged ninja at the mission center.
"Please come in, Madam has been waiting for a long time."
Senju Chen walked into the gorgeously decorated living room and was immediately greeted by a plump middle-aged woman wearing a luxurious kimono. She was holding a handkerchief in her hand, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and she looked extremely anxious.
This must be Shijimi, whom Naruto calls "Fat Aunt".
"Oh! Are you the ninja sent by the village?" When Shijimi saw Senju Chen, he was startled for a moment, then his eyebrows stood up and his voice rose an octave, "Why did you send such a big child? Come? My Tora is not an ordinary kitten! It is very fierce! Can you do it? If something happens to my Tora, can you Konoha bear it?"
This barrage of questions made the maids on the side feel a little embarrassed.
Senju Chen didn't take it seriously. He raised his little face and showed an extremely bright and innocent smile. His voice was soft and full of confidence. "Madam, please don't worry. Although I am young, I am very strong. Moreover, I am the best at dealing with animals."
As he spoke, he quietly moved a trace of Chakra, with his palm upward, a small pink Xiaohua that exuded a soft breath of life quietly bloomed.
The kind and gentle Natural Energy made the originally tense atmosphere in the living room relax a lot.
Mrs. Shijimi looked at the Xiaohua that appeared out of thin air, and then at Senju Chen's clear eyes without any impurities, her aura suddenly weakened.
"Wood Release... are you the little genius Senju Clan?" The suspicion on her face turned into surprise and curiosity, "Oh, okay, okay, I believe you. You must get my poor Tora back!"
While wiping non-existent tears with a handkerchief, she began to complain, "That little scoundrel, even if he usually dominates the house, he always likes to run out! Every time, he makes me worry so much that I can't eat or sleep! This time I have been running out for most of the day. I don't know if I have suffered outside or been bullied by other wild cats..."
Senju Chen listened quietly, but was complaining crazily in his heart.
Sister, with your "Tora"'s physique and fighting ability, it's good if it doesn't bully other cats.
"Madam, can you tell me where Tora usually likes to go?" Senju Chen interrupted her thoughts at the right time.
"It likes to climb high and low, on roofs, trees, wherever it is remote!" Mrs. Shijimi thought for a while and added, "By the way, it likes to go to the fish market in the east of the village the most. It has stolen fish from the fishmongers there several times!"
"I understand." Senju Chen nodded, already having a plan in mind.
It's not his style to wander around the streets like Team 7.
In addition to the mansion, he closed his eyes and used Wood Release's power of affinity with vegetation to spread his Chakra perception to the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.
As a Senju clansman with huge Chakra and Sage Body qualities, his perception ability is naturally far superior to that of ordinary people. Although it is still not possible to perceive the entire battlefield with closed eyes like Second Hokage, it is still possible to find a specific, weak Chakra source in a fixed area.
In the air, countless mixed Chakra signals poured into his mind.
Pedestrians, ninjas, store guards...
He patiently filtered out these powerful signals and focused on those weak, animal-like Chakra.
Soon, a life signal, although weak, full of irritability and vitality, appeared on a street not far from him.
Found one.
His figure turned into an afterimage, and disappeared from the outline of the roof in a few ups and downs.
Konoha East District, on the roof of a residence.
The plump orange cat "Tora" was lying lazily on the tiles, basking in the sun, with half a saury "shunned" from the fish market in its mouth.
It yawned, showing its sharp teeth, and glanced at the "Two-legged beasts" coming and going on the street below with a stern look, full of the disdain of a king.
At this time, a small flower bloomed quietly next to the roof
"Meow?"
Tora raised his head suddenly, twitched his nose, and looked at the source of the fragrance.
On another roof not far away, a black-haired kid was looking at it with a smile. And at the kid's feet, a green vine extended to the opposite roof.
That strange fragrance comes from that little white flower!
"Meow!"(Mine!)
Tora's eyes instantly burst out with greedy light. It threw away the dried fish in its mouth, kicked off its hind legs, and its strong figure was like an orange lightning, rushing towards Xiao Baihua!
However, just when it was about to pounce in front of the flower, something changed suddenly!
Several slender but tough vines wrapped around its limbs and body like a living creature, instantly weaving into a strong cage, trapping it firmly in place.
Wood Release·Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands·Mini version!
"Meow--!!"(Let me go!)
Tora struggled violently, and its sharp claws scratched white marks on the vines, but could not hurt them at all. These vines made of Chakra were very tough, and the more they struggled, the tighter they became.
Senju Chen Slowly Earth Flow walked over, squatted down, and looked at the grinning "legendary creature" in the cage.
"Little guy, you really have a bad temper."
He stretched out his finger and gently tapped Tora's nose through the gap in the vines.
"Stop making trouble and come home with me."
His voice seemed to have a strange soothing power. Tora, who was originally irritable and restless, slowly calmed down, but there was still a threatening "snoring" sound in his throat, and a pair of cat eyes stared at him warily.
Senju Chen smiled, untied the vines, and took the fat cat into his arms.
It was quite generous, at least fifteen kilograms.
"Come on, let's take you to see your anxious master."
He held the cat in his arms, jumped a few times, and then returned along the same path. The entire process, from locking the target to successfully capturing it, took less than an hour.
When Senju Chen reappeared in the living room unharmed holding Tora, Mrs. Shijimi was completely stunned.
"Tora! My poor Tora!"
She rushed forward and snatched the cat from Senju Chen's arms, followed by a suffocating massage and kiss.
"Meow--!"
The offended Tora couldn't bear it anymore and finally exploded. The sharp claws left several clear red marks on Mrs. Shijimi's face.
"Oh! You little rascal!"
The living room suddenly became agitated.
Senju Chen stood aside, looking at this familiar scene, the smile on his lips became deeper.
Done.
D-Rank Mission, complete one.
There are nine left.
He took the mission reward from the maid, a small bag of jingling shiny coins, and left the mansion in a happy mood Earth Flow.
Next, which one should be interesting?
