Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

Chapter 20: Finishing Off is an Art, Kakashi, Have You Mastered It Yet?

Tsunade stood there blankly, her body stiff, her cheeks frighteningly hot.

The phrase "If you bet on me to win, you'll never lose" was like an unreasonable curse, stirring up a storm in her heart.

She looked at the face so close to hers, and in those always half-closed eyes, her own reflection was vividly clear.

"madman……"

She wanted to yell at him, but her throat was too dry to make a sound.

"I'm leaving."

Qian Xuan released her hand, stood up, and gently helped her to the side.

He didn't say anything more, but simply turned and walked towards the door.

"Hello!"

Tsunade called out behind him, her voice trembling slightly without her even realizing it.

Qianxuan stopped and turned to look at her.

"If you... dare to die out there..."

Tsunade gritted her teeth, as if using all her strength, to finish speaking.

"I...I'll dig up your grave!"

Qianxuan smiled.

He knew that these were the gentlest words she could ever say.

……

Meeting point at the entrance of Konoha Village.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Kakashi leaned against a tree, his hands in his pockets, and closed his eyes to rest.

Rin Nohara stood to the side, glancing worriedly at Obito Uchiha beside her from time to time.

Obito, clutching his hair and looking constipated, paced back and forth.

When Qianxuan's figure came into view, Obito seemed to have made up his mind and rushed over. Then, with a "bang," he bowed deeply to Qianxuan at a ninety-degree angle.

"I'm...I'm sorry!"

The noise was so loud that it startled all the birds in the trees into flight.

Qianxuan was taken aback by his sudden shout.

"Yesterday...it was my fault! I shouldn't have said those things!"

Obito's face turned bright red, and he kept his head down.

"I...I didn't mean that! Anyway, I'm so sorry!"

"It's Kushina-neechan."

Nohara Rin explained quietly from the side.

"She heard that you and Obito had a fight, so last night she dragged Obito away and gave him a good 'lecture'."

The image of the red-haired chili pepper going berserk flashed through Qian Xuan's mind instantly, and he couldn't help but shudder.

He patted Obito on the shoulder.

"Alright, I didn't take it to heart."

Obito looked up and saw that Sengen's face didn't look angry, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

……

In the dark and damp underground cave, a colossal Outer Path Golem stood silently, its body connected to countless thick pipes.

An old figure sat on a stone seat in front of the golem, his body covered with black tubes, as withered as a piece of rotten wood.

It's Uchiha Madara.

"That brat Onoki is still as weak as ever."

His voice was hoarse, as if it came from an ancient tomb.

A black, mud-like figure emerged from the shadows behind him.

"Yes, Lord Madara. Iwagakure has already launched a full-scale invasion of the Land of Grass, although it's a little slower than we anticipated."

"Hmph, what a boring trick."

Three tomoe gleamed in Madara Uchiha's eyes.

"How's that Uchiha brat I chose doing?"

"He has already set off."

Black Zetsu's voice carried a hint of flattery.

"We are heading towards Kannabi Bridge."

"very good."

Madara Uchiha closed his eyes, as if he were dozing off.

"My body won't last much longer. Black Zetsu, after I die, you must continue to guide him so that he can inherit my will and complete the 'Eye of the Moon' plan."

"Yes, Lord Madara. Your will is my everything."

Black Zetsu slowly sank into the ground and disappeared.

……

At the village entrance, Minato Namikaze appeared right on time.

He looked at the four men who had arrived, his usual gentle expression gone, replaced by the composure and seriousness befitting a commander.

"First of all, there is something I need to announce."

Minato looked at Kakashi.

"With the approval of the Hokage, Kakashi Hatake is officially promoted to Jonin starting today."

"Kakashi, congratulations!"

Rin Nohara was the first to offer her congratulations.

Obito pursed his lips and muttered to himself:

"What's so great about it..."

"Therefore, the team will be reorganized."

Minato continued,

"Next, I will act alone, tasked with a feint attack to draw the enemy's main force. And you..."

He looked at the remaining four people.

"A new team will be formed, with Kakashi as the captain, Rin in charge of medical care, and Obito and Sengen in charge of support and protection."

"What?!"

Obito quit again.

"Why was this guy made captain?!"

"Because I'm a Jonin, and you're just a perennial loser."

Kakashi responded coldly.

"you!"

"Alright, quiet down."

Minato interrupted their argument by unfolding a map and spreading it on the ground.

"Look here, the battlefront in the Land of Earth has advanced into the heart of the Land of Grass, and their supply lines are continuously supplying the front lines. Our mission is to infiltrate behind enemy lines, find and destroy this bridge called 'Kannabi Bridge,' and completely cut off their supplies."

Minato's expression became unusually serious.

"The success or failure of this mission will directly determine the course of the entire Grass Country battlefield."

He took out a uniquely shaped three-pronged kunai from his ninja tool bag and handed it to Kakashi.

"Kakashi, congratulations on becoming a Jonin. This is a gift for you."

Kakashi took the kunai and silently put it away.

"I...I also prepared a gift!"

Rin Nohara took out a small, exquisite medical kit from behind her and handed it to Kakashi.

"Although these are just some commonly used medicines and bandages, I hope you can use them."

"Thanks."

Kakashi's tone softened unusually.

All eyes were on Obito.

Obito scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

"I...I forgot."

Kakashi glanced at him, with an expression that said, "I knew it."

"I also have a gift."

Qian Xuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

He walked up to Kakashi, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him a piece of "advice" in a very serious tone.

"Remember, Kakashi. No matter what kind of enemy you defeat in the future, always finish them off."

Kakashi was stunned.

"Don't think that stabbing someone in the heart is the end of the matter."

Qianxuan's expression was so serious, as if he were imparting some incredible secret technique.

"Some people have their hearts on the right side."

He paused, then added.

"Some people even have five hearts."

Kakashi: "..."

Obito: "..."

Lin: "..."

Minato: "..."

The entire scene fell into an eerie silence because of Qianxuan's nonsensical words.

"Alright, that's enough of the small talk."

Minato Namikaze forcefully steered the conversation back on track, pointing into the distance.

"The enemy's reconnaissance ninjas are very close. We must set off immediately, cross the border, and head to the Land of Grass."

"The mission officially begins!"
