What commission is there in Chapter 7?
Although Shiba Kiyokawa mercilessly slapped Ando so hard he was spinning like a top, he was actually quite grateful to the idiot.
Thanks to this person for recklessly courting death, Xiao Nan's once unwavering ideals were brutally crushed into the ground.
If mutual understanding between people is only for protecting bastards like this, is there really any point in upholding this ideal?
Upholding an ideal requires years of unwavering dedication, but its collapse often only takes a moment of despair.
From this perspective, Ando deserves immense credit for what he has achieved today!
However, now is not the time to deal with him.
The enemy has only one Iwagakure captain left.
Shiba Kiyokawa first comforted and reminded Minami.
"Sister Konan, the enemy is a special Jonin specializing in taijutsu. Try to keep your distance and avoid close combat!"
Special Jonin are not really Jonin; they only possess abilities comparable to Jonin in certain areas of expertise, but their overall abilities are still between Chunin and Jonin.
He can be considered a half-step Jonin who specializes in one area but not the other.
Like Hayate Gekko of Konoha in the original work, who was a special Jonin with special skills in swordsmanship and stealth.
Shiba Kiyokawa already knew that the leader of the Iwagakure team was a special Jonin.
He was always a very cautious person. If he hadn't been certain that the enemy's threat was still within a controllable range, he would have gone back to call for reinforcements the moment Ando harbored any ill intentions.
His ninja code was: "Better to harm the heavens than to harm the Qinghe River."
If Iwagakure had actually sent a genuine Jonin this time, he would have already closed the gates and released Nagato!
The only thing he didn't know was that there were two special Jonin in the Iwagakure team that came this time.
He still believes that the older man he just killed was just a chunin.
Therefore, at this moment, he carefully planned and proceeded step by step, with Sister Xiao Nan, one in the air and one on the ground, steadily tightening the encirclement of the enemy.
Little did they know that the trapped captain of Iwagakure had long lost his will to fight and was so frightened that he only wanted to escape!
The Iwagakure captain hadn't witnessed the battle inside the warehouse. At this moment, he couldn't fathom how his old partner and three genin teammates had been wiped out in such a short time by a boy from a ninja village who looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old!
Who exactly is this boy? How can he be a Jonin at such a young age? Is he the secret weapon of the Rain Village?! Is the Land of Rain planning a full-scale war against our Iwagakure?!
Shiba Kiyokawa never expected that his accidental performance would lead the enemy to such a divergent line of thought.
However, with his arrival, the enemy's intention to break out gradually became more and more obvious.
Shiba Kiyokawa immediately noticed.
"Sister Xiao Nan, this person is trying to escape!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan quickly separated more paper butterflies, which connected in the air to form a pair of huge white paper wings, which spread out to block the enemy's path!
Xiao Nan is not just a pretty face with a gentle demeanor!
Even within the Akatsuki organization, a group filled with powerful members in the original Shippuden series, she had her own place!
Fourteen-year-old Konan might not be able to fight against a regular Jonin from a major ninja village, but she could definitely stop a special Jonin who had lost all will to fight!
"Damn it! Get out of here!!"
As the Iwagakure captain faced the pair of paper wings blocking his path, he gradually lost control of his emotions and couldn't help but let out a roar like a trapped beast.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Guidance!"
At that very moment, Shiba Kiyokawa slashed down with his lightning sword!
"You brat from the Land of Rain, don't underestimate the ninjas of the Five Great Ninja Villages!"
Perhaps realizing there was no hope of escape, the Iwagakure captain finally mustered his last fighting spirit.
However, Shiba Kiyokawa, who was facing off against him, remained calm throughout, and even a hint of disappointment slowly crept onto his face.
The Five Great Ninja Villages, is that all?
This silent mockery only fueled the opponent's rage.
Kiyokazu Shiba seized upon the moment when his opponent lost control of his emotions and revealed a weakness!
He tossed the straight sword into the air and formed a hand seal.
"Water Release: Water Whip!"
As before, he used a common ninjutsu of low level.
It has neither the ornate dragon head of the Water Dragon Bullet nor the terrifying water output of the Great Waterfall Technique.
The summoned stream of water simply circles the enemy once before locking them in place.
The Iwagakure captain confidently boasted, "Kid, who do you think such a feeble ninjutsu can trap?!"
However, the enemy overlooked the fact that during the process of the water flowing around and then tightening, it actually stuck many paper butterflies to themselves.
The next moment, Shiba Kiyokawa caught the straight sword he had just thrown up, stroked the blade with his left hand, and used chakra to create arcs of electricity.
Then, without hesitation, he threw the straight sword at the enemy!
"Sizzle! Boom!!"
A flickering arc of electricity ignited the explosive tag disguised as a paper butterfly!
The Iwagakure captain, bound by the water whip, was unable to form hand seals and had nowhere to hide!
After the explosion, the severely injured captain of Iwagakure lay sprawled on the ground, his face still showing lingering shock and fear.
He couldn't understand.
"Why can a water-soaked explosive tag still detonate?"
Shiba Kiyokawa first cautiously stepped forward to assess the enemy's condition.
Only after confirming that the person was certain to die did he kindly offer an answer.
"Because I suggested that Sister Xiaonan put grease on the paper."
He was just using someone else's idea to offer it to someone else.
Because that's what Konan did in the original story. She even filled the entire trench with explosive tags, almost setting the sea ablaze and sending Obito Uchiha to his doom.
The captain of Iwagakure gave a smile that was both bewilderment and despair.
He concluded with a threat, "Rain Ninja, are you planning to start a war between the Land of Rain and the Village Hidden in Iwagakure? You'll regret this!"
Shiba Kiyokazu gave a mocking smile.
"How dare they, who infiltrate another country without permission and intend to use force to destroy local official organizations, shamelessly threaten war?"
"We...we're just here...to accept a commission, it's...a ninja's...duty."
The other person was getting weaker and weaker, and their speech was becoming increasingly fragmented.
However, Shiba Kiyokawa had already lost interest in listening.
He casually tossed a kunai behind him, both to shatter the Iwagakure captain's sophistry and to test Konan's current feelings.
The kunai he shot flew straight at Ando, who was lying paralyzed on the ground not far away.
He didn't throw the kunai very quickly; he deliberately slowed down his movements, and the kunai flew in the air for at least half a second.
A large number of paper butterflies were still fluttering around the battlefield. If Sister Xiao Nan wanted to stop them, she would have plenty of time.
However, the kunai was not intercepted at all and pierced Ando's forehead with unparalleled smoothness, right between his eyebrows!
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa smiled with satisfaction.
"What commission are you talking about? I only see you colluding with spies, plotting to overthrow the Land of Rain."
Captain Iwagakure stared wide-eyed in astonishment, and like his partner in the warehouse, he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
