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

Page 126

The following morning, shocking news broke in Konoha: Nawaki, the grandson of the First Hokage, the successor of the Senju clan, and a special Jonin of Konoha, had gone missing.

At this moment, arrangements are being made in the conference room for the operation to capture the surgeon.

"The information we have so far."

"The other party may be related to Jiraiya's disciple."

"Should we directly cooperate with Amegakure to capture him?"

After Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, Tsunade looked at Jiraiya, who lowered his head in shame.

Orochimaru, upon learning of his disciple's disappearance after leaving the laboratory, sighed inwardly. He also felt somewhat disappointed that no trace of the 'surgeon' or anything similar had been found at the scene.

"The Uchiha clan will go all out." Mikoto Uchiha's words represented the Uchiha's attitude.

“The same applies to the Hyuga clan,” said Hiashi, a Jonin in his early twenties.

"The same applies to the three clans of the Uzuharaya." The Uzuhara clan, who appeared considerably more mature, replied...

“The same goes for the Shimura clan,” said a middle-aged Jonin from the Shimura clan.

Following this, ninja clans of all sizes began to express their stance, indicating that they would take full action in this matter.

Finally, the S-rank rogue ninja wanted by the surgeon was officially issued.

"No matter how strong the opponent is."

"The village will absolutely not allow anyone to wantonly harm our fellow villagers!"

"From this moment on, issue a long-term intelligence gathering mission. Once the surgeon's whereabouts are discovered, report back immediately after gathering intelligence. Lu Ji, go and notify the mission department."

"Yes! I'll do it right away." Nara Shikakichi replied and left the meeting room.

Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Orochimaru and Jiraiya:

"Orochimaru. As for Amegakure, the three of you can go together."

Orochimaru frowned. The Nawaki he liked was the eternally innocent and kind boy from back then, but the Nawaki of today was no longer what he liked. "I understand, Sensei."

Seeing Orochimaru's reluctance, and recalling the recent comments from the Anbu that Orochimaru and Danzo were getting close, Hiruzen Sarutobi realized that Orochimaru might have changed.

From the moment I decided to venture into the forbidden magic chamber.

"It's the teacher!" Jiraiya had finally gotten his chance and was going to ask Nagato and the others why they had joined the ranks of surgeons, especially if they were enemies...

"So."

"The meeting is now adjourned."

"We'll first send a team to Amegakure to convey our message."

"And then we set off again."

After all, it's a period of truce now. Sending three Jonin to investigate matters within another country requires reporting to the local ninja village leader first.

Meanwhile, after Shirahoshi abducted Nawaki at night, she successfully returned to the Land of Rain in a little over a day, evading Konoha's patrol forces.

In just two days, Nawaki went from a high-ranking Konoha Special Jonin to a prisoner.

After tying the young man up with a rope, they threw him inside the house.

Furthermore, Shirahoshi experimented with the Rope Tree along the way with the sealing technique.

Now we can truly lock down the opponent's stamina and chakra for a long time.

"Dean? Why did you bring a man back?! And in the middle of the night no less!"

"?"

"A man? The dean has a man?"

"??"

"The dean really brought a man with him!! Honglian, look at your teacher!!!"

"???"

After hearing Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan speak first, Shirahoshi's face darkened.

The rope tree underground is awake now, but it's not very strong.

Upon hearing the voices of the three children, her eyes widened, and tears involuntarily streamed down her cheeks.

It’s over.

So he likes men!

No wonder they didn't arrest my sister but arrested me.

At that very moment, a torrential downpour was falling outdoors, just as a clap of thunder sounded.

Bai Xing, standing in front of the door, looked somewhat frightening.

"Please. Don't like me!!!" Nawaki, a young man who was about to come of age, was so frightened that he almost peed himself.

"ill."

Bai Xing said casually. Hong Lian, who was rubbing her eyes and peeking out from Xiao Nan's bed, glanced at Bai Xing, then turned to Xiao Nan and said, "You're sick. Teacher would never like men. Teacher likes me the most."

"..."

Xiao Nan glanced at Hong Lian's figure and thought to herself that this seemed even more perverted.

He tossed Nawaki into a corner and covered him with a blanket. The next morning, when Yahiko was brushing his teeth, he heard Nawaki calling him.

"Little brother, can you untie me? I need to pee."

As Yahiko brushed his teeth, he spat out a mouthful of foam and said, "Don't ask me. I have no right to help you."

"Oh no, what am I going to do if I pee? Your room is going to stink!" Rope Tree said, as if to say, "If you don't untie me, I'll wet myself on the spot."

"Big brother, how old are you?" Yahiko rolled his eyes. "Go ahead and pee if you need to. We're moving soon anyway."

Seeing that Yahiko wasn't buying it, Nawaki looked at Nagato and Konan, who had just gotten up, and cried for help, but was ignored. Meanwhile, Shirahoshi, who was leaning against the wall, opened her eyes, got up, and came to Nawaki: "Stop yelling."

laugh--

The slime kunai severed the ropes binding the ropes, causing the rope tree to lose its chakra. After being starved for two days and one night, Shirahoshi believed that the rope tree would understand the situation.

then.

As expected, Rope Tree was very sensible. After using the toilet, he came back, leaned against the wall, and sat down obediently, becoming a prisoner.

I saw Shirahoshi and the others having breakfast.

The rope tree's belly rumbled.

His dignity wouldn't allow him to ask someone who had kidnapped him for food.

Shirahoshi didn't throw him any cookies, but ate them all by herself, and then let Nawaki come out with him.

outside the house.

Rope Tree leaned weakly against the wall outside the house.

"Tell me. What kind of experiment do you want me to conduct? You probably can't get my grandfather's cells anyway."

Nawaki knew about the Wood Release experiment, so he naturally understood that the village valued the power of Wood Release and would never easily reveal it.

"I don't need that thing. What I plan to do is experiments related to immortal arts."

"You don't seem to know any magic."

Rope Tree rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, if he could learn magic, would he still have let you catch him?!

"will not."

"So, I want to use you as a test subject for my Sage Mode experiments. But I don't know Sage Mode either. So, could you summon some ordinary snakes that live in Ryuchi Cave? The previous one won't work."

"I don't have any chakra right now. What am I supposed to summon?" Nawaki thought to himself as he finished speaking. You can't just summon snakes from Ryuchi Cave like that. They don't care about you and won't give you any response.

"Not now. Just do it if you can."

"We have other things to do later."

"We can't stay in the Land of Rain for the time being."

"correct."

At this point, Shirahoshi noticed the three eavesdropping boys and said, "The person I captured is a Konoha ninja."

"You were Jiraiya's former students."

"Be careful when you go to Konoha."

"Especially that ninja who plays with snakes, he has a cold and aloof appearance, and that other guy is also an expert in human experimentation."

Nawaki thought to himself, "Orochimaru-sensei is not that kind of person."

"Nagato, do you understand what I mean?" Shirahoshi said to Nagato, ignoring the disdainful look in Nawaki's eyes.

"I understand, Dean."

"What should we do if we're discovered?"

Nagato said nervously.

"It's alright. Find Jiraiya. Ask him anything you want about me."

"What if Jiraiya-sensei doesn't protect us?" Konan also knew that this Konoha ninja was very important to the 'Headmaster,' which was why she spent a whole day... Wait a minute?!

"Dean, you didn't just travel from here to Konoha in a single day, and then spend another day traveling back, did you?!"

Yahiko and Nagato: "..."

Rope Tree nodded to himself, thinking that if he hadn't been carried around by this guy and exposed to the wind all day, he wouldn't believe that anyone could travel from Konoha to the Land of Rain in about a day.

Hearing Xiao Nan's praise, Bai Xing nodded in agreement, crossing her arms: "That's true."

"It's not far."

"?????"

An ordinary Jonin-level ninja, without using chakra enhancement or relying solely on chakra to step on trees for leverage, can normally run one kilometer in a little over twenty seconds.

Running on flat ground without using any chakra takes about thirty seconds.

If you continue taking drugs, you can use chakra to enhance your ability to run and travel continuously.
