I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Sasuke bound the opponent's hands and feet, rendering the opponent completely unable to move.

He looked up at Shi Yu and asked, "What should we do with this guy?"

"It's up to you to decide!"

Shigure gave the choice to Sasuke.

Sasuke glanced at another enemy who had already been killed on the other side, and immediately made a firm decision!

He raised his hand and swung his kunai, slicing the man's neck open and killing him instantly.

Sasuke's expression turned grim after killing someone for the first time.

Kakashi, who was observing from the shadows, sighed silently. Shigure's choice was correct; helping Sasuke and Naruto get through this hurdle as soon as possible would greatly help their future ninja journey.

"Alright, let's keep going!"

The rain was very calm, without any ripples.

Naruto and Sasuke, however, are far from at peace.

This is what it feels like to kill someone; this is what it feels like to face an enemy who wants to kill you.

Both of them began to feel unsettled.

However, Shiyu believes that the two of them will soon be able to adjust to this situation.

After all, they are the main characters of this world!

Tazuna stared at Shigure, who remained calm and collected throughout. 'This brat seems to have killed someone before!'

The same thing happened before; another guy had a fight, but he killed him by simply throwing a hidden weapon.

His strength is clearly the strongest among the three kids.

Upon realizing this, Tazuna even found himself moving closer to Shigure without realizing it.

After the group left.

Kakashi appeared beside the two Chunin who had just died.

Looking at the bloody wound that had been pierced through one of the people's bodies.

"...It really is terrifying power."

"Quick, accurate, and ruthless! It seems this isn't the first time Shigure has killed someone!"

"However! This test for you is not just that simple."

The Third Hokage was preparing to use a rogue ninja with terrifying strength as a whetstone for Shigure, to see just how sharp this suddenly rising blade really was.

It takes several days to travel from Konoha to the Land of Waves.

After being assassinated by two Chunin, the next day or so passed peacefully.

Even when resting at night, Naruto didn't sleep. Instead, he frantically held a ball and did something else.

Shi Yu simply smiled faintly at this.

It seems Naruto is also feeling the pressure and wants to become stronger as soon as possible, but haste makes waste.

But since Naruto was training all night, Shigure also felt it was necessary to make the most of the time.

They also continued physical training in the evenings.

Watching Shigure cultivate so frantically, it was just like the crazy master and disciple pair, Might Guy.

Kakashi, who was observing from the shadows, chuckled.

"No wonder this kid's strength is so terrifying; so his daily training includes these things?"

"But how did this kid manage to train like that and still be able to travel the next day?"

Most people don't have such a powerful recovery ability!

While Shigure and the others were resting in the evening.

Zabuza Momochi also received the news.

"They actually failed? Two Chunin managed to defeat three mere Genin brats!"

"Interesting. I'd like to see what's so special about these three brats from Konoha!"

Chapter 79 Shigure: Who Littered?

"Lord Zabuza, they are just three Konoha genin. There is no need for you to take action personally!"

"Leave it to me!"

Haku knelt before Zabuza and spoke slowly.

However, Zabuza grabbed the guillotine beside him and shouted, "No!"

They directly rejected Bai's suggestion.

"Among the genin of Konoha this time, there's a brat named Uchiha Sasuke!"

Even the corpses of Uchiha clan members can fetch a good price on the black market.

Wouldn't it be more profitable to catch them alive yourself?

Therefore, even if there are only three genin, Zabuza will personally take action this time.

……

Shigure and the others are on their way to the Land of Waves.

"If we walk for another three hours, we should be able to see the Land of Waves!"

Shiyu said, looking at the map.

Naruto and Sasuke finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This means we're almost done with the mission!

A C-rank mission, encountering an assassination attempt by a ninja midway through, is already considered an overreaction.

Fortunately, it's within an acceptable range, and there shouldn't be any enemies coming.

Shigure slowly put away the map; they were almost at the Land of Waves, which meant that the man was about to make his appearance.

I just don't know when the other person will show up.

Keep going.

Shiyu secretly observed her surroundings, and suddenly realized that this place seemed to be somewhat similar to the scene in the original work!

'This should be the place!'

Just as Shiyu was thinking, a sudden whooshing sound came rushing in.

Shigure immediately shouted at Naruto and Sasuke, "Crouch down!"

Turning around, a black shadowy figure was rapidly approaching from behind.

Kakashi, who was hiding in the shadows, frowned at that moment.

'This is……'

boom!

Shigure caught the flying decapitation sword with one hand.

Naruto and Sasuke stared at Shigure; they had reacted the moment they heard the sound.

Someone launched an attack on them, and judging from the incredibly sharp sound of the wind, the hidden weapon used must have been extremely powerful.

Shigure told them to squat down, and they assumed Shigure would also move away.

But to everyone's surprise, Shigure just stood there and single-handedly deflected the projectile thrown at him... no! It should be said that it was an extremely heavy broadsword.

It caught it so easily.

Kakashi, who was observing from the shadows, was also stunned, staring at Shigure with a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

How good must one's dynamic vision be, and how terrifying must one's physical strength be, to be able to stand still and catch such a heavy knife with one's bare hand?

"Who littered? Everyone has a responsibility to protect the environment, don't you know?"

Kakashi, who was hiding in the shadows, almost fell off the tree.

He never dreamed that Shigure would say such a thing so quickly.

Behind Shigure, Zabuza Momochi, who should have made a dashing entrance by leaping down from the tree and stepping onto the guillotine that was cleaving the tree, was about to make his grand entrance.

His face was now ashen.

After throwing the greatsword, he immediately used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to fly directly to the tree in front of him.

The person jumped down, but the knife is gone!

Upon hearing Shigure's words, Zabuza, who had just landed, was immediately enraged.

This little devil!

Is he joking on purpose?
