"So comfortable, so sleepy..." Naruto muttered, tilting his head to the side and collapsing.
Sasuke bit his tongue, trying to calm himself and stay clear-headed, while his eyes met Xiao Tian's, conveying a message: 'Something's fishy!'
"Don't worry, everything is under my control."
Sasuke nodded slightly, and as soon as he felt relieved, he fainted.
Xiao Tian's lips twitched upon seeing this. Fortunately, his system was reliable; it alerted him the moment the smoke appeared and activated the data mode reminder.
The data mode can be immune to highly toxic substances and hypnotic substances that affect the brain, but it cannot guard against Genjutsu. Of course, it also has the ability to make itself feel no harm or pain, making it like a mechanical body.
Xiao Tian also collapsed, pretending to be unconscious.
Soon, the two sliding wooden doors on both sides were pulled open, and more than a dozen people rushed in.
"They captured two Uchiha geniuses and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki so easily."
"Enough nonsense. We're lucky this time. Quickly take your men and get out of Konoha through the secret passage. That item must also be delivered." Through Xiao Tian's senses, the authoritative voice belonged to the shop owner who had paid Kakashi for the trial card earlier.
What's the deal? Xiao Tian knew that Kakashi and even the villagers had been eyeing this group for a long time. Since that was the case, he... still had to collect the points!
"This kid! How come he's alright!" Ikeda Uji and the others paled. They knew that the colorless and odorless sleeping gas they used was obtained from the black market at great expense. It was said that even a Jonin would be unconscious for a minute after inhaling it.
"Liar!" Ikeda Uji hated the unscrupulous black market vendors in Konoha.
"Hehehe, so you're Mist Ninja ninja from the Mist Ninja clan. Why do you Mist Ninja have so many underhanded tricks?" Xiao Tian said with an innocent expression.
"Quickly knock this kid out!"
Xiao Tian swiftly kicked through the wall behind him, throwing the orange cat out. Before he could even form a hand seal, a powerful vortex of wind swirled around him.
" Wind Release: Great Whirlwind Technique!"
Visible, twisting whirlwinds crashed down on the two groups of Mist Ninja and the shop owner. They had no idea that Xiao Tian would act so decisively, and they hadn't even seen him Hand Seals.
Several genin Genin in agony, Chunin fared no better, their clothes ripped apart as countless swords slashed across their bodies, leaving them covered in blood.
Meanwhile, Xiao Tian's allies were dealt a heavy blow, and the unconscious Sasuke and Naruto were blasted away by the wind.
"This is truly beyond my expectations, Xiao Tian, you're unaffected." A blur of movement flashed by, Chunin out three Chunin who still had the strength to escape, before appearing beside Xiao Tian in a flash.
"A pointless mission." Xiao Tian yawned and turned to walk towards the orange cat he had just thrown away.
Kakashi didn't even glance at the scene; the matter now fell to the village's Anbu.
When Naruto and Sasuke were woken up by the cold water, they both shuddered.
"Who I am?"
Where is this?
What am I doing?
Xiao Tian gently flicked the forehead at the two boys who weren't fully awake yet.
" Xiao Tian, what are you doing!" Naruto glared at Xiao Tian, not understanding why Xiao Tian hit him on the head.
Sasuke scanned his surroundings, memories flooding back, and his expression changed drastically.
"You two still lack experience, but that's understandable, considering you're in your own village, your vigilance isn't very high. Naruto and Sasuke, you two messed up your first slightly difficult mission, which makes it hard for me to give you any more challenging missions." Kakashi removed the comic book covering his face, a playful glint in his right eye.
"What the hell! If I hadn't been drugged, I would have definitely beaten them to a pulp!" Naruto was extremely annoyed.
"Despicable," Sasuke muttered.
"Despicable? What's so despicable about becoming a ninja? From now on, the three of you will each complete 100 C-rank missions," Kakashi said lazily.
Xiao Tian curled his lip and said, "Where's the bounty?"
"Then it's naturally mine."
"Beat him up!" Xiao Tian, Naruto, and Sasuke immediately engaged Kakashi in a chase.
