“What youth!” Might Guy stretched. “Well then, it’s time for me to step in. After all, this task is quite urgent.”
Chapter 7: Defeating Genius Through Hard Work
"Wow! So much energy so early in the morning, that's youth for you." Matt Kai flashed his signature big white teeth again.
"Tch, teacher, you've been here for a while now," Tian Tian said.
Might Guy scratched his head and laughed heartily: "I can't hide it from you guys after all, I wanted to see your strength."
"Teacher Kai, hurry up and tell me, what's the mission? I need to rush back to research ninja tools," Tenten said speechlessly.
Do they care more about their ninja tools than the mission?
"You're really impatient, but that's part of youth, isn't it?" Might Guy laughed heartily.
"So, what is our mission?"
“Pursue the rogue ninja—Takenaka Taishi,” Might Guy chuckled.
As he spoke, Matt Kai handed them some documents, the gist of which was this:
[Taishi Takenaka: A spy planted in Konoha by the Hidden Sound Village. He is a Chunin-level ninja with wind and earth chakra natures. He is skilled at using Earth Release to control his opponents.]
"Otogakure! Orochimaru, huh... It seems they're preparing for the Konoha Crush plan."
Looking at these documents, Neji thought to himself.
It seems Orochimaru can't wait any longer.
"Chunin! Wait, Guy-sensei, this should already be an A-rank mission, right?" Tenten asked anxiously.
In the Naruto world, missions are generally divided into six levels.
Super S-class, S-class, A-class, B-class, C-class, D-class.
Rank A missions are those related to the movements of a nation or village, including protecting important figures and attacking ninja forces. If a Chunin is involved, it is undoubtedly a Rank A mission.
"Teacher Kai, are we going to carry out an A-level mission?" Xiao Li asked.
"Ah."
Neji and his friends graduated a year earlier than the Konoha 9, and their growth in strength was obvious to all. Coupled with Might Guy's formidable strength, the Third Hokage allowed them to take on some missions that exceeded their own level.
In other words, they will occasionally take on missions that involve other countries and villages, which are classified as B-level missions.
This is the first time we've carried out an A-level mission.
"Wow! I finally got an A-level mission!" Xiao Li jumped up excitedly.
"This is the time to hone yourself."
The expected frown did not appear; instead, an excited expression came through.
A glint flashed in Matt Kai's eyes as he revealed a set of bright white teeth and laughed, "My youth is burning."
"I knew it, these two are hopeless," Tian Tian said with a shrug.
Neji was also speechless. So this was the style of Team 9 after all.
"Alright, let's go. If that spy gets away, it'll be a lot of trouble," Tian Tian urged.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The four figures moved through the woods, constantly keeping an eye on their surroundings for any unusual activity.
This made Neji think more highly of Lee and Tenten.
As expected of Team 9, they are more mature and composed than the newly recruited Konoha 11s, and their combat skills are also higher than those of the 11s.
While Neji was observing Tenten and Lee, Might Guy also glanced at Neji from time to time.
He's a master of disguise!
This is his assessment of Neji.
"However, Xiao Li is not bad either."
Perhaps because they were both practicing physical techniques, he had a competitive spirit towards the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist.
However, Hiashi Hyuga always had a stern face and rarely fought with him, so the two of them never actually clashed.
As his true disciple, Xiao Li naturally shouldered this important responsibility.
Ordinary people can defeat geniuses through hard work!
"Let me make this clear first, this mission is for your training, so I won't take action unless absolutely necessary. If necessary, it's okay to kill him on the spot," Might Guy said.
"Kill them on the spot!" Neji was slightly dazed; in this world, killing was necessary.
He has never killed anyone.
"Neji, Neji, what's wrong?"
The sudden shout of Tenten brought Neji back to reality.
"Neji, what's wrong with you? You seem distracted. This isn't like you."
"It's nothing." Neji shook his head.
This mission is very important; I need to see blood and learn to adapt to killing.
This is the most important lesson for surviving in this world.
If you don't kill him, he will kill you.
Traveling day and night, the four finally arrived a day later.
"Neji, Lee, keep watch on the surroundings; Tenten, be ready to provide remote support at any time," Might Guy said methodically.
"Yes!" the three replied.
"Yes, Teacher Kai."
The four of them moved forward cautiously, especially Neji, who, strictly speaking, was no different from a newcomer.
It was his first mission, and an A-level one at that, so he was a little nervous.
Suddenly, more than a dozen kunai flew towards them.
"Watch out!" Neji shouted.
"Leave it to me." Xiao Li leaped up, pulled out a handful of kunai from his waist, and deflected all the flying kunai.
"It seems the enemy has discovered us," Tian Tian said.
"Now it's your turn to shine, go for it," Might Guy said with a smile.
"Yes!"
Then, the three of them quickly leaped forward.
Deep in the forest, a person with an ordinary appearance and clothing was walking continuously.
He was none other than Takenaka Taishi, the target of Neji and his group's mission.
"Tch, they only sent three brats to deal with me. Is Konoha really out of people?" Takenaka Taishi glanced at the three people chasing after him and sneered inwardly.
"There's an open meadow just ahead, Tian Tian," Xiao Li said.
"Understood, watch this, unleash a barrage of hidden weapons."
Tenten leaped into the air, opened his scroll, and summoned all sorts of hidden weapons to attack Takenaka Taishi.
shhhhhh...
A series of whooshing sounds rang out as Takenaka Taishi formed hand seals and slammed his hand onto the ground: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall".
An earthen wall rose instantly, blocking Tian Tian's hidden weapon.
"It's not over yet, Twin Dragons."
Various hidden weapons flew out from Tenten's two scrolls, and Takenaka Taishi could only dodge them by constantly using the Body Flicker Technique.
"Little girl, you're asking for death." Takenaka Taishi suddenly turned around and shot out two kunai at Tenten.
Tian Tian quickly rolled away to dodge. At that moment, the explosive tags tied to the two kunai exploded, instantly snapping an old tree in half.
At that moment, Xiao Li suddenly appeared to the left of Takenaka Taishi and punched him in the face.
"Oh? That's pretty fast."
Takenaka Taishi smirked and grabbed Xiao Li.
"Kid, let's die together."
At that moment, an angry shout rang out: "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough".
Xiao Li was shocked and immediately looked back.
Suddenly, another Takenaka Taishi appeared behind him, exhaling a whirlwind from his mouth.
Xiao Li was swept away in the blink of an eye.
"Kid, die!" Takenaka Taishi immediately caught up with the flying Lee, holding a kunai and about to stab him.
Chapter 8 It's my turn to perform.
At this moment, Takenaka Taishi had already closed in on Lee from directly above. At such close range, Lee had no way to dodge.
"Oh no! I have to protect my vitals." Xiao Li was shocked and quickly used his hand to block his fatal spot.
Clang!
Just as the kunai were about to strike, Tenten also fired a kunai, defusing the crisis for Lee.
Seizing the opportunity, Xiao Li used a Leaf Whirlwind to kick Takenaka Taishi away, while barely managing to regain his footing.
"This guy, so decisive!"
The damage suffered by the clone will be felt by the original.
Xiao Li thought to himself with lingering fear.
So this is what Chunin are like? They're on a completely different level from the opponents they've faced before.
