Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 32 Turning Point

In the morning, Genma had just finished training in Wood Release Chakra Mode when he discovered that he had gained 2 more points in his character settings.

I only found out after checking the log that it was provided by Tsunade.

"Looks like the method worked!"

Xuanma showed a look of joy.

Tsunade's recovery had a profound impact on Konoha.

If her hemophobia is also resolved, then the candidate for Fourth Hokage might not necessarily fall to Minato Namikaze.

"Resurrecting the dead is extremely difficult; even the Rinnegan's Rinne Rebirth Technique requires the sacrifice of one's life."

"But... summoning the soul of the dead using necromancy shouldn't require too many settings, right?"

Xuanma thought for a moment and tried to modify the spirit communication technique.

He learned this technique from Tsunade, and it was used to summon Wood Release chakra clones to replenish his main body with Wood Release chakra.

"Um?"

"Failed, 2 points of the setting value are not enough!"

Xuanma was slightly disappointed.

"Then let's save a little more."

Xuanma composed himself and created a shadow clone to continue his cultivation.

He possesses superhuman strength, can use the Substitute Technique to avoid danger, has the Healing Technique without a Seal, can transform to fly, and also has the Hatake Sword Technique.

Speed ​​and reaction time are now weaknesses, and the Hatake sword technique can only truly shine when combined with a skillful body-flickering technique.

Once the initial development of Lightning Release: Body Flicker Technique is complete, there will be 2 points of setting value, which will be enough for the first modification.

……

The day off passed quickly.

After having breakfast, Genma bid farewell to his parents and went out to the Hokage Building.

Yamashiro Aoba and Shizune have arrived.

Good morning, everyone!

Genma waved in greeting, then asked, "Has Master already gone to accept the mission?"

Shizune looked towards the Hokage Building: "I think so. We didn't see the teacher when we came here."

Yamashiro Aoba said, "Judging from the teacher's habits, he's probably already gone. By the way, what kind of mission will it be this time? Is it possibly a B-rank mission?"

Xuanma shook his head: "It's unlikely. Last time was an accident."

"Even if the teacher is willing to take the risk, the village won't allow it."

As they were talking, Sakumo Hatake suddenly appeared: "Everyone's here, let's go!"

Everyone immediately used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to leave the village.

On the way, Hatake Sakumo explained the mission details, and it turned out to be a C-rank mission as expected.

This time, I'm delivering some relatively unimportant intelligence to the Hot Spring Village, so I'm unlikely to encounter any ninjas.

Upon hearing that they were going to the Hot Spring Village, Shizune asked, "I've heard that the hot springs in the Land of Hot Springs are the best in the ninja world, teacher, is that true?"

Sakumo Hatake laughed and said, "That's true."

"Once we've delivered the intelligence, we can give it a try."

This was unanimously agreed upon.

After leaving the village, the team still didn't take the main road, but went straight into the woods and headed north.

This mission was indeed much simpler and more boring than the last one.

They encountered no accidents along the way, delivered the intelligence safely, and then enjoyed a hot spring bath in the Land of Hot Springs.

It is indeed different from the hot springs in Konoha Village.

This mission took four days, and upon returning, Sakumo Hatake immediately began squad training without taking a break.

It's not about teaching specific ninjutsu, but about training squad tactics and how to deal with traps and surprise attacks.

This is more tiring than carrying out missions, but Xuanma prefers it.

Because this allows one to clearly perceive their own growth.

He desperately needs this kind of experience.

Right now, he's just a kid who has power but doesn't know how to use it skillfully.

Xuanma needs to grow rapidly and flexibly apply the power he has mastered to actual combat.

Time flew by amidst cultivation and missions.

One afternoon two months later.

Having just finished a training session, Hatake Sakumo announced, "That's all for today. Everyone, meet at the village entrance tomorrow; there's a new mission."

"Grade B!"

Xuanma and the other two were all taken aback.

For the past two months, they have been carrying out C-level missions.

Apart from the initial C-rank mission, there were no unexpected incidents and no clashes with other ninjas.

This makes one quite excited.

However, Sakumo Hatake still did not reveal the specific details of the mission in advance.

After the team disbanded, Genma and the other two went to an ice cream shop.

On the way, Aoba Yamashiro asked curiously, "By the way, what will tomorrow's mission be like?"

"A Rank B mission might involve encountering ninjas. Will they be similar to us?"

Shizune said, "It shouldn't be too dangerous, after all, we're all just genin."

Xuanma guessed, "Perhaps it's to protect some important person?"

"Or maybe we'll go to the border."

"As for the ninjas we encounter, anything is possible, depending on the importance of the mission."

The three arrived at the cold drink shop and found that they recognized quite a few people there.

"Hey, Genma!"

Before even entering the door, Matt Kai started shouting.

Genma glanced around and saw Kakashi, Might Guy, Genma Shiranui, and Ebisu gathered together, with Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara sitting nearby.

"Gai, Kakashi, you're here too!"

Genma greeted him with a smile.

Genma Shiranui complained, "It's so hot."

After exchanging greetings, Shizune went to talk to Rin Nohara. Obito Uchiha felt a little embarrassed to be with the two girls, so he stood up.

"Xuanma, did you just return from a mission?"

"Uchiha Obito asked."

Xuanma shook his head: "No, training just ended, but we have a mission tomorrow."

How's everyone doing lately?

Ebisu said, "Missions and training. I used to look forward to missions, but I've found they're not that interesting."

Matt Kai exclaimed passionately, "Whether it's fun or not doesn't matter! As long as it helps us grow continuously, then we haven't wasted our youth!"

Genma Shiranui scoffed, "You're being too hot-blooded."

Having just picked up the cold drink brought over by the waiter and taken a sip, feeling refreshed all over, Genma laughed and said, "Life isn't always that interesting. Missions are just missions for us; they're just a small part of life."

Ebisu chuckled, "You always make such a good point."

Genma couldn't help but laugh.

Shizune then asked, "Where are Hong and the others? Are they still on their mission?"

Genma Shiranui said, "It should be them. I haven't seen them in the village these past few days."

"Kakashi, have you guys encountered him?"

Kakashi shook his head: "No."

"Of course, it's also possible they were alone together."

Matt Kai looked puzzled: "Alone? Who and who?"

Genma Shiranui sighed, "Hey, Guy, isn't this obvious enough?!"

A group of teenagers chatted and laughed on a summer afternoon.

Only Genma knew that this was one of the few leisurely moments before the great battle.

night.

After dinner, Xuanma announced that he was going out to carry out a mission.

Yu Fenglan exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, what a coincidence! I was just about to say that I'm going out on a mission tomorrow."

Genma and his mother Ritsuka both felt something was strange.

Yu Fenglan is also someone who can decipher enemy codes and analyze intelligence, so why does he suddenly want to leave the village to carry out a mission?

Faced with his wife and son's questions, Yu Fenglan smiled and said, "Such a thing is indeed rare. Well, this mission isn't classified. We're going to the Grass Ninja Village in the Land of Grass for an exchange."

"Don't worry, the mission is safe."

Ritsuka cautioned, "No matter what, you're leaving the village, so please be careful."

Yu Fenglan readily agreed, "Yes, Mrs. Yu Feng!"

Ritsuka immediately rolled her eyes at her husband, then turned to her son and asked, "Genma, what's your mission tomorrow?"

Xuanma shook his head: "The teacher didn't say, but there shouldn't be any dangerous C-level missions."

"Don't worry, I'll be very careful."

Ritsuka nodded with a smile.

She was quite at ease with her son, partly because of the powerful Hatake Sakumo, and partly because her son was very cautious.

However, when mentioning Kusagakure, Genma couldn't help but think of one particular character.

Karin!

Karin must not have been born yet, so is her mother already in Kusagakure?

He should be around eighteen or nineteen years old now.

Go and bring it back?
