Naruto: What do you mean you're from the Head-Touching Village?

Chapter 23 Jiraiya Akimura

The moment the sword [Tsunade (girl)] is switched, superhuman strength is immediately activated.

"boom!"

As Qiu Rishun threw a punch, a shockwave exploded the instant his fist made contact with the rock, causing it to shatter instantly. Several fragments, carrying a strong wind, shot into the cave.

The gravel hit the walls inside the cave, making a hollow sound.

After doing all this, Akihito Shun looked at Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sensei, what did you say you were going to teach me?"

"...It's alright, you go after them first."

Tsunade opened her mouth, but said nothing. In the end, she waved her hand and urged Akihito Shun to hurry up and give chase.

What could she say?

You learn so quickly, what else can I say?

At this moment, Tsunade finally discovered a very serious problem with Shun Akihime.

Indeed, it's very easy to take care of, requiring almost no effort, but it doesn't seem to give me any sense of accomplishment as a teacher!

Autumn has already chased them into the cave.

The path inside the cave is not complicated; it's basically a straight path.

Soon, Akira caught up with the fleeing bandit leader.

"You brat! You dare chase me?! You really think I'm afraid of you?!"

Knowing he couldn't escape, the bandit leader turned to face Akira Shun and began forming hand seals.

Is he afraid?

He was terrified!

The sound of Akira Shun shattering the stone with his punch was so loud that it echoed throughout the entire cave, and he naturally heard it as well.

With that kind of power, it goes without saying what would happen if it hit him. He had already planned it out: he would just use an Earth Release ninjutsu to stall for time and then use a clone technique to escape!

However, this situation only exists in his imagination.

An electric current was already emanating from Qiu Rishun's palm.

Chidori!

The flash of lightning illuminated the cave, and to the astonishment and fear in the eyes of the bandit leader, Akira, Akira, with Chidori, charged toward him expressionlessly.

"Pfft!"

He sent out the Thousand Birds, which instantly pierced through the bandit leader's chest!

The bandit leader's wounds still smelled of burning.

Akira Shun looked into the other person's eyes, and only after confirming that there was no vitality in those eyes did Akira Shun withdraw his arm.

The body, having lost its support, swayed twice before collapsing to the ground.

With one hand gripping the leg of the bandit leader's corpse, Qiu Rishun began to retrace his steps back to the cave entrance.

When Akatsuki Shun stepped out of the cave, the bloodstains on the ground had already been cleaned up by the three shadow clones, and Tsunade was already sitting in front of the campfire. There was a pot on the campfire, which contained the food that the bandits had cooked earlier.

"You brat's finally back. Eat it while it's hot. No need for soldier rations anymore."

These past few days, he's been eating only soldier rations, which has made Akira Shun feel nauseous.

He used to think that military rations were just tasteless and dry, but after trying them this time, he found that they were really hard to eat!

Qiu Rishun casually tossed the bandit leader's corpse aside, grabbed some water, washed off the blood, and then sat down by the campfire.

"Tsunade-sensei, what's inside?"

"Potato."

Tsunade casually retorted.

However, upon hearing this, familiar memories began to flood back, and the corner of Akira's mouth twitched.

Who cooked up our Naruto mobile game server?

Thinking this, Akira Shun fished the Naruto mobile game server out of the pot and began to tear it apart.

"How was your first life-or-death battle with a ninja?"

While asking the question, Tsunade also scooped a potato out of the pot.

"I killed him in one move. It wasn't a fight to the death, so I didn't feel anything."

Autumn shook his head.

"Hahaha, it's good that you can adapt to this kind of battle. Let's go back."

After eating a few potatoes to fill her stomach, Tsunade stood up and left first, followed by Akihito Shun.

Without the constraints of their mission, the two were no longer in a hurry. They rested whenever they got tired. It took them three days to get there and five days to get back.

After returning to the village, Tsunade first took Shun Akihito to the mission meeting place to familiarize him with the procedures after the mission ended.

Once you've accepted a quest at the quest gathering place, you can submit it here after you've completed it.

Normally, for such a task of clearing out bandits, a detailed written task report should be submitted after the task is completed to prevent the ninja from falsifying information.

However, such rules are useless to Tsunade; her reputation is enough to exempt her from all these troublesome procedures.

This mission was initially a C-rank mission, but it has been upgraded to a B-rank mission because of the subsequent encounter with a genin and the ensuing battle.

The reward for the mission has also been upgraded from 4 taels to 7 taels.

This amount of money isn't actually a small sum, but Akira Shun doesn't lack it right now. He could easily earn more by spending some time at any casino.

However, he mainly did these tasks to get used to fighting; he didn't care much about the money.

After receiving the money, Tsunade was somewhat disgusted.

"This amount of money isn't even enough for one!"

"It's okay, Tsunade-sensei. Just come to me when you need money. But I probably won't be able to get into the nearby casinos anymore; they've blocked me."

Thinking of this, Qiu Rishun couldn't help but sigh. To make money in the future, she would have to take an extra step and go to a casino further away.

"Hehe, I knew you'd remember me, you little rascal. By the way, what did you tell me to keep an eye out for you about?"

After hearing what Akihi Shun said, Tsunade immediately returned to her carefree self.

Akira Shun reminded her, "Tsunade-sensei, it's the Chunin Exams. I need to participate in the next Chunin Exams."

"The next Chunin Exams?"

Tsunade extended her thumb and gently touched her chin as she began to recall.

"The last Chunin Exams were only a short while ago, and the next one is probably in six months. Wait a minute, you brat, didn't you just graduate less than half a month ago? And you're already thinking about the Chunin Exams?"

Although she was surprised, Tsunade understood when she thought about Shun Akihime's performance.

"Don't worry, I'll remember to keep track of the exact time for you. By the way, today is your first time completing a mission, let's go to an izakaya to celebrate!"

Akira Shun, held in Tsunade's arms, said speechlessly, "Lady Tsunade, I'm still a child, I can't drink alcohol."

"You brat, why don't you just watch me drink? I didn't ask you to drink!"

......

For the next month, Akira Shun did various tasks, a few of which were D-rank tasks. He didn't leave the village and did odd jobs for the villagers, which was considered a relaxation.

The vast majority of them are C to B level tasks.

These were all specially selected by Tsunade to give him combat experience.

In other teams' battles, it's usually the three genin who take the lead, while the instructor assists from the side.

As for Shun's battle, since he had no teammates, he basically charged in and killed everyone by himself, while Tsunade just stood by and waited for the battle to end.

However, if Shun Akihime gets injured, Tsunade's healing skills can help him recover in the shortest amount of time.

One night.

Akira Shun spent time at Yuhi Kurenai's house, playing with her and telling her about the interesting things that happened during his missions.

Kurenai Yuhi's eyes lit up as she listened, becoming more and more energized even though it was already bedtime.

"Wow, that's amazing! I really want to graduate and become a ninja too, but my father won't let me~"

As soon as Kurenai thought of this, her happy face immediately dimmed.

"It's okay. Stay at school longer and build a solid foundation before becoming a ninja. That will make missions much easier."

Autumn Shun gently stroked the head of Sunset Red, comforting her.

Feeling the warmth coming from above, Kurenai nodded.

"Oh right, you were out on missions the whole time, didn't you know? Lord Jiraiya has returned to the village!"
