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

Did I go to the wrong place? I need to leave!

After saying goodbye to Nawaki and Might Guy, and getting rid of a summoning snake that seemed to be a bit obsessed with looks, Shirahoshi returned home.

He took out a novel he had bought from the village's Jiying Hall as usual, lay down on the bed, and enjoyed a rare holiday.

Time passed quickly, and it was getting dark soon. Bai Xing went out again to find food. After packing up some food, she ate it and continued to laze around reading novels.

The window was open, and ninjas could occasionally be seen leaping over the high walls and eaves outside. Occasionally, Shirahoshi could be seen looking like this, which made him feel very gratified. He thought to himself that it was another day of protecting the people of the village, so he continued to work hard and do his missions.

It wasn't until bedtime that Bai Xing yawned, turned off the incandescent light in the room, drew the blue curtains by the window, sat cross-legged on the bed, and closed her eyes.

In the pitch black, you can see almost nothing, but you can better calm down and focus on whether you feel like you're being watched.

"Safety."

As she opened her eyes and the words fell, Bai Xing's lips moved once more:

"ROOM!"

The pale blue light shield took on a humanoid form, and as long as he was within this space, he was practically omniscient and omnipotent.

Today marks the second time we've conducted a human experiment specifically on ourselves since the last mission concluded.

"heart......"

"brain......"

"The five internal organs and six bowels..."

"Meridians..."

After confirming the current situation, it was also confirmed that the research direction over the past six months was correct and that there were no mistakes in the last experiment.

He could indeed achieve immortality by virtue of his Saiyan physique and the power of the Ope Ope Fruit.

But any technique has its flaws.

"Rejuvenating my cells, organs, bones, and meridians will slow down the rate at which I become stronger."

"Pity."

"But it's alright."

"Fortunately, I was born with the Saiyan physique, which has unlimited potential and can continuously increase its combat power."

Although he can't compare to Saitama.

After sighing, he began his plan to subtly modify various stats.

"As long as we restore all the body's vital organs, and even bones and meridians, to their state three months ago."

"Then I can live forever at the age of eighteen."

His birthday is May 16th. Three months + three months - one and a half months = four and a half months ago, so he should still be eighteen years old.

"But the drawbacks are also obvious."

If one had the ability to see through things at this moment, they could see inside the boy's body, and the organs, bones, meridians, etc., all seemed to have changed slightly from before.

If one possesses the Rinnegan or strong senses, one can see that the amount of chakra within the boy's body is also slightly decreasing.

On the wall, the hands of the clock are constantly turning.

Three hours later, time quickly passed.

It's already past midnight.

"Has your training over the past month and a half reduced your progress by about fifty percent?"

"It's been cut by 70 percent compared to last time."

"It's not a loss, really."

"It seems that the deeper the cultivation intensity, the more difficult it is to restore."

"Perhaps next time, if the rewind time is reduced, the percentage of the deduction will be even lower."

After opening her dark eyes, Bai Xing slowly exhaled a long breath and stretched her slightly weakened muscles and bones.

When I put my legs on the floor and tried to stand up, I felt exhausted all over: this was a state where my physical strength was almost completely depleted.

"That's a really good technique!"

Too weak to stand up to use the restroom, Bai Xing collapsed onto the bed, staring at the ceiling, a sense of melancholy washing over her.

"Compared to the techniques of Orochimaru, Hiruko, Kakuzu, and others."

"This is the true secret to immortality."

"Keep your body young forever."

"It's a pity we're not as immortal as them."

"After Shippuden, I'll be old enough to sit at the same table as Tsunade."

"Hey~~ the cheat isn't strong enough~"

"The Saiyans' fighting power doubles when they're near death. I really want to try it, but if I actually die while doing this in the ninja world, there won't be any Shenron to revive me."

Upon closer reflection, Bai Xing realized that he had been in this world for seven years already.

Because of my experience leading the team last year, I had to show some talent to avoid giving my teammates the impression that the rumors didn't match the reality during missions: to prevent myself from becoming a suspicious ninja in the village's records.

Then came the incident in the Land of Whirlpools, but thankfully this time he held back, not instantly killing the Chunin, but instead fighting him to a standstill...

Then.

From now on, he'll just be a regular genin!

"Oh!"

"Going to the toilet."

Thud—

Bai Xing lay on the floor, his dead fish eyes showing: "Damn! I should have gone to the toilet first or rested for a few more minutes before going."

Last time I wanted to stand up and look at my whole body in the mirror, I tripped and fell.

—Now for the second time.

Early the next morning.

Beside the quest board at the quest post, the black-haired boy stood at the forefront, stroking his chin and squinting, clearly unsure which quest to accept.

—Rank D mission: Go to the Whirlpool House (the territory of the three clans on the outskirts of the village) and help move construction materials.

Bai Xing skipped over it, mainly because she had taken it over last time. It was a trap, and a very tiring one, since a portion of the three clans' wealth had been allocated to the construction of 'Flame Vortex City,' and most of the remaining money had to be used to maintain the clansmen's resources.

Therefore, this kind of task assignment is a real logistical job with low pay, high workload, and long processing time.

"Hey! Isn't that Shirahoshi?! We heard you recently completed an S-rank mission, and we're all so envious!"

Shirahoshi, Nawaki, and Dai turned their heads and saw the Ino-Shika-Cho trio under Shin-chan's assistant. They then silently looked at the task list and sighed in unison.

Akimichi Yumi: "..."

She immediately became somewhat depressed, ran to a corner and drew circles on her face. Behind her, Nara Yu comforted Akimichi Yumi, while Yamanaka Taiji clenched his fists and thought to himself, "What's so great about that?"

As Nara Yosuke processed the documents, he saw the state of the group and suddenly felt that the village's future was doomed: "Cough cough."

He coughed and, facing Bai Xing, said:

"Shirahoshi Genin."

"You've been watching for an hour."

"If all else fails, I currently have a C-level item..."

"Alright. Today is another day without any missions. Let's enjoy our training!"

"Oh!" x2

Nara Yosuke: "..."

He thought to himself, "Is it really that serious? Just a C-rank mission and you, a renowned genin in the village with a 99.99% success rate, are scared off?"

"Shirahoshi Genin~~~" At this moment, Nara Yosuke seemed to have transformed into a resentful ghost, staring directly at Shirahoshi, whose forehead was covered in sweat.

“Your class in the first shift hasn’t done any tasks for half a month.”

"Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"

Bai Xing scratched his cheek, thinking to himself that if it weren't for those three clans bastards who came early in the morning to take over most of the seemingly decent D-level missions in the village, leaving only the hard-working, low-paying, and almost physically demanding missions, they wouldn't need to come and scan the leaderboard every day.

The Third Hokage's intention was to return to normalcy after the Chunin Exams, primarily to allow the three clans to adapt to the rhythm of Konoha. Therefore, he relaxed the D-rank mission privileges by two months. Normally, this would not be allowed because there are other classes, and other genin need to gain experience and earn a living.

People of all three races also accept C-level missions, but there are more D-level missions.

"Okay. You tell me first, and I'll listen."

Chapter 76: Encountering a real C-rank mission, I was a little disoriented.

Although Shirahoshi wanted to refuse, in order to become a qualified Chunin and qualify for the Chunin Exams every year, she had to complete a mission every month, even if it was a D-rank mission.

But now, they spend their days either training, lounging around, playing cards, chess, chatting, or shopping, and there's also a married man who occasionally abandons them to spend time with his wife and children.

As a result, I didn't do a single task for half of June.

Konoha Mission Office.

The three members of both the first and second classes quieted down and stood in the middle of the long, curved wooden table, waiting for Yosuke Nara to assign them tasks.

"Actually."

"There's a C-level mission that I think would be perfect for you guys to complete together."

"Finally, I don't have to do those D-rank missions when Shinnosuke-sensei isn't around!" Akimichi Yumi excitedly raised her hand, hooking her left leg back in a little girl's pose.

Hearing this, Nara Yu nodded and crossed his arms. "I can't participate in the Chunin Exams right now, and I have to listen to my father nagging me about comparing me to my cousin Shikaku every day. It's getting a bit annoying."

"It would be good to do more advanced tasks."
