Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 121

"The ninjas of Konoha are all very strong!"

“That’s right.” Hinata Suzuka, oblivious to the implication in Fukuyama Sawa’s words, said smugly, “Ryuun, hurry up and take care of your enemy!”

"I am very sure of that."

"Regardless of what happens to the child ninjas of Amegakure."

"But you."

"I will definitely not let this go!!"

Yuhi Ryuun formed a hand seal with one hand, then instantly appeared in front of Shirahoshi. Before Nagato could react, Shirahoshi pulled him aside and flung him to the side. The slime kunai in her hand collided with Yuhi Ryuun's—*sss*!

"What! How could it be so fast!"

While Yuhi Ryuun was still wondering why the other party hadn't taken any extra action to get the kunai after actively pulling Nagato away, he suddenly realized that what the other party held in his hand was not a black kunai at all: but a kunai made of light blue energy that could be seen with the naked eye!

"Chakra Kunai".

"It's used in the same way as my eyes, Miss Liuyun."

Shirahoshi teased, then produced a slime kunai with her other hand, slashing towards the entrance of Yuhi Ryuun. The girl reacted quickly and dodged by stepping back.

"I see."

"You enhanced your eyes using chakra, didn't you?"

The setting sun and drifting clouds appear calm and serene on the surface, but in reality, they are deeply awestruck!

When will the eyes be able to enhance color?!

Hinata Suzuka and Shiranui Kumo were also shocked one after another.

"Eyes can be enhanced too? Ninjas are really amazing." After saying that, Fukuyama Sawa noticed the shock on everyone's faces. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Is this very difficult?"

—Fukuyama Sawa wants to find some easy-to-learn skills for her 'weak' fiancé so that he can become stronger and fulfill his wish to become a Chunin as soon as possible.

"This is something that only members of the Hyuga and Uchiha clans could accomplish! How could an ordinary person possibly do it!"

Both the Byakugan and Sharingan possess ocular power that protects their eyeballs, allowing them to output chakra to enhance and utilize ocular power.

At this moment, Hinata Suzuka's tone was filled with disbelief.

Upon hearing this, Fukuyama Sawa immediately realized that the difficulty was extremely high and began to shut up.

"That's not necessarily true~ There's a girl with rolling eyes wearing blue underwear~"

"???" Countless question marks appeared above Hinata Suzuka's head, and finally her face turned deathly pale: "You really..."

"Is it really blue underwear?" Fukuyama Sawa asked the Hinata girl, who was trembling and had her back to her, with some curiosity.

Hinata Suzuka nodded, her face pale.

"Impressive. It seems you're no ordinary ninja. How about joining the Fire Country's Military Intelligence Bureau? I'll offer you excellent benefits."

After receiving Hinata's affirmation, Fukuyama Sawa instinctively began to extend an invitation: "How about an annual salary of 100 million yen?"

"????"xN

At this moment, Shirahoshi remained silent.

He thought to himself that he hated rich people the most, especially such generous rich people, whose words were always so tempting and distracting: Of course, unless that rich person was me.

After checking on Yahiko, Konan found that he was fine. Upon hearing the word "100 million," she stood there stunned, wondering if it was a Rain Coin or a Fire Coin.

Nagato was completely dumbfounded. He now knew exactly how much money could buy. According to the rewards the 'Dean' had previously mentioned for missions to major countries—20,000 to 30,000 ryo per mission—100 million ryo meant that as a ninja, he would have to do… That's it! It's beyond counting!!!

Shiranui Unjin swallowed hard, thinking to herself, "No wonder she's a super rich woman who's pursuing my good friend. Who can resist this way of throwing money around?"

Hinata Suzuka recalled that not long ago, her family approached her, offering her the position of Hiashi's fiancée, with a dowry of only a few million yen...

Xi Ri Liu Yun felt a chill run down his spine, thinking that he couldn't let this wretched woman speak to him. What if the man in front of him really fell in love with joining the Daimyo's mansion? Putting aside whether this would be detrimental to Konoha.

The main problem is that after it happened, she can't bring herself to lay a hand on this man! How is she going to overcome that mental hurdle?!

"Don't even think about agreeing!"

The sound of the setting sun and drifting clouds broke Shirahoshi's silence once again, silenced by Sawa's allure of money. As for why "once again"...

At this moment, Bai Xing's gaze fell upon Xi Ri Liu Yun, who seized the opportunity and formed a hand seal with one hand:

"Illusion Art: Cherry Blossom Dance!"

huh, huh, huh-

In Bai Xing's vision, more than a dozen cherry blossom clones appeared around her, all at the same height as Liu Yun. The figure of Xi Ri Liu Yun seemed to have completely sunk into this spiritual space, and the ground also turned into cherry blossoms: her actual body sank into the muddy ground.

Immediately afterward, while Shirahoshi was captivated by the cherry blossoms around her, the attack arrived in an instant.

The blade that burst from the ground aimed straight at Shirahoshi's mask, and Yuhi Ryuun revealed a triumphant smile—I won!

Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and everyone, even Nagato and Konan, began to focus on what the surgeon actually looked like...

Shirahoshi glanced down at the half-real, half-illusory Yuhi Ryuun and the ninja sword in her hand. In the instant she raised her hand, she seemed to shift her body to the side with a very gentle force, pushing the blade to the side to deflect Yuhi Ryuun's attack angle: the speed was very fast.

At this moment, Shirahoshi could see that the face of the girl closest to her was filled with shock.

But the battle is not over yet.

Just as the evening clouds fully emerged from the ground, Shirahoshi kicked the girl's right-hand sword hilt, sending the sword flying into the air. Then, he grabbed the evening clouds' clothes, slammed them to the ground, raised his right foot, aimed at the girl's abdomen, and stomped down hard—

boom! ! !

Click, click——

"Ahhhh-"

The muddy ground was blasted into a human-shaped crater by the aftershocks of the chakra force, and the girl screamed in agony.

Shirahoshi stepped on the evening clouds and caught the falling ninja sword with his right hand.

Then, with a forceful flick, he stabbed the object into the head of the suffering girl, waved to Guren and Nagato on the other side, and walked towards Konan and Yahiko. Guren and Nagato nodded, stepped over the fallen Yuhi Ryuun, and came to Shirahoshi's back.

Lying on the ground, Xi Ri Liu Yun glanced at the blade reflecting the light and thought to himself, "So strong. Too strong. The speed has exceeded my understanding."

"Damn it! Is this guy that strong?" Shiranui Kumo landed beside Ryuun after the 'enemy' had gone far away and asked, "Is Ryuun alright?"

"He should be fine. He seems to have focused his attention." Xi Ri Liu Yun lifted her vest and undershirt, revealing her smooth, fair belly: a deep red footprint was visible on it.

Seeing this, Yuhi Ryuun became even angrier. He pulled off his clothes, got up with the help of Shiranui Kumo, picked up his ninja sword, and was about to charge again.

After checking on Yahiko, Shirahoshi said, "Yahiko was just under a spell and was knocked unconscious. His central nervous system hasn't recovered yet. He'll wake up in a little while."

"Whoosh—" x2

"Even Yahiko-nii isn't very good at it," Guren complained.

Konan and Nagato thought to themselves, "Why don't you give it a try!"

Subsequently,

Shirahoshi also noticed that Yuhi Ryuun intended to continue fighting, and turned to glance at him:

"Do you still want to fight?"

"The gap is already quite obvious, isn't it?"

"Don't even try! You scoundrel!" Yuhi Ryuun gritted his teeth, brandished his ninja sword for a moment, then sheathed it and closed his eyes.

Then, Shirahoshi clearly saw that Yuhi Ryuun's entire chakra was being mobilized at this moment. It should be a combination of genjutsu and swordsmanship, which was different from the crude genjutsu technique of the 'Konoha Style Swordsmanship: Sakura' he had just used.

next moment.

The setting sun and drifting clouds opened their eyes.

A smile appeared on the young woman's face, which was covered in red eyes.

This time, Shirahoshi can truly experience the 'Konoha Style Sword Technique: Sakura'.

"Konoha Style Sword Technique: Sakura!"

In reality, ten Sunset Clouds appeared all around at this moment. Even if the illusion were broken in a second, ten Sunset Clouds figures would still appear all around: nine of them were illusionary clones, and Sunset Clouds used teleportation to switch places with one of the clones.

Within the illusionary realm.

Not only has Shirahoshi's surroundings transformed into cherry blossoms, but the cherry blossoms beneath his feet have also begun to climb upwards, restricting his movements.

As he raised his hand to form a hand seal, Mu Teng suddenly appeared and grabbed both of his hands. At the same time, the ten 'cherry blossom girls' around him also gripped their blades and charged forward.

"interesting."

"Within the illusion, binding control, physical attacks, and visual interference all appeared at once."

"awesome."

Shirahoshi had to admit that the power of this illusion was far greater than that of Kurenai Yuhi in the future.

"go to hell!"

This time, Yuhi Ryuun had no intention of holding back, aiming her blade at Shirahoshi's heart.

puff-

Bai Xing was stabbed through the body by Xi Ri Liu Yun's knife, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, yet she raised the corner of her mouth and whispered in the ear of the girl who was leaning towards her:

"Ouch, that hurts, Liu Yun."

When Yuhi Ryuun heard the true voice of Shirahoshi, the hilt of the sword in his hand trembled violently.

But in the next moment, Shirahoshi grabbed Yuki Ryuun by the throat and held her up in the air: "What's wrong? Aren't you going to celebrate your victory, girl?"

"Uh—" Xi Ri Liu Yun realized she had been tricked, but her throat was being choked and she couldn't breathe. Her hands could only climb up at this moment, trying to break free.

Shirahoshi used chakra threads in her left hand to swiftly pull out the blade. Her face twitched slightly as she thought to herself that this was the first time she had been injured in battle since the beginning of Team 6: she had moved her vital organs away beforehand.

Then, he began stitching up his wounds with chakra threads, followed by healing himself with Healing Palm Technique...

"Uh, uh, uh—"

At this moment, the evening clouds were already rolling their eyes, and the shiranuko clouds were at a loss, standing there dumbfounded, their brains racing to think of any attack methods they could use to save people.

Just then, Hinata Suzuka, who was on the tree trunk, rushed up with her hands forming the shape of chakra.

"Gentle Fist..."

"The Eight Trigrams—"

*Plop!*
