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

Page 275

"I'm here to tell you some news."

"Hmm." The middle-aged woman seemed to understand something, and her nodding expression gradually stiffened.

Yulong will never forget, even if... even if she says that the child is still on the battlefield, still carrying out a mission somewhere, this middle-aged woman will still firmly believe it.

But she still spoke up.

“Genin Ayamaru, fourteen years old, died on the battlefield two months ago.”

After she finished speaking, Yulong didn't know how she left. At her age, she should have been on the battlefield, but because Uncle Hanzo valued her, she...

Plop—

"Someone jumped off the building!"

"Isn't this Aunt Xiu from the second floor?!"

"Quick! Get him to the hospital!!"

Yu Long turned her head to look at the middle-aged woman who had jumped to her death. She must have climbed to a higher floor after she left...

Are ninjas really only meant to be tools?

That day, she began to think.

Memories flashed through her mind again, and then came the scene at the end of World War II, where she killed countless ninjas to avenge her comrades. At one point, due to carelessness, she lost her right eye.

after the war.

As Yu Long stood at the door of the leader's office, about to knock, she overheard Yu Tengxing reporting to Hanzang:

"Lord Chief."

"The losses suffered by Amegakure this time are far too severe."

"The village of Amegakure originally had a registered ninja reserve of over three thousand, nearly four thousand."

But after this battle... less than a thousand remained!

"Furthermore, if our village's funds are used to pay pensions and funeral expenses for the various ninjas... it's a small matter that the village can't afford to train more ninjas, but I'm afraid that the other surviving ninjas... won't receive the compensation they deserve."

Upon hearing this, Hanzo sighed from inside the room.

"In the end, we were still defeated."

"Then... then let's reduce the amount of the former in all aspects. The latter will be paid normally."

"I will do my best to handle it!"

"but."

Yu Tengxing's tone was hesitant, but she finally said, "If this continues, I'm afraid the village's future maintenance funds will..."

"This battle is to protect the Land of Rain. Every city, town, street, and village should do their part."

"Yes! I understand!"

After their conversation ended, Yu Long snapped out of her daze and knocked on the door to hand over the documents.

The documents she submitted happened to be for family members who needed to receive compensation.

After reading it, Hanzo couldn't help but mutter to himself, "If everyone were like these family members, the village wouldn't have to worry so much..."

At that time, Yulong felt that her inner world had been severely damaged.

It was all because the page Hanzo turned to... was about a ninja family member who had died unexpectedly.

In other words, these are families that do not need to receive pensions.

That was the first time Yulong had other thoughts about her adoptive uncle, Hanzang.

then.

Several years passed.

The emergence of the Akatsuki Trading Company added a touch of brilliance to the gradually declining city of Amegakure after World War II.

Yu Long even believes that Xiao Shang Hui's businesses will grow bigger and bigger, and might even save the Rain Country, which is currently shrouded in darkness.

but.

Boom! !

A sudden heaviness gripped his body, and his lifeless eyes slowly opened, revealing a renewed sparkle.

Hanzo, standing on the cliff edge above the flat gorge, suddenly widened his eyes slightly:

"It's true, it's really alive!"

"Who...who exactly is this man?!"

At this very moment, beyond this area, there are still dark clouds, rain, and thunder in the sky over more distant areas.

The members of the new Rain Ninja were overjoyed to see Yu Long come back to life.

"Captain Yulong!!"

"Captain Yulong has really come back to life!! She truly deserves to be called the Almighty God!"

"This is wonderful!!"

Yu Long possesses considerable personal charisma, which is why everyone trusts her and she was able to become the commander-in-chief of that operation.

"Go down." Bai Xing tossed Yu Long, who had finished treating her, down, and she landed in front of Ya Yan. Ya Yan opened his arms and caught her.

Only after fully experiencing the warmth emanating from the young woman and the virgin fragrance brought by her hormones did Yahiko realize that Yulong was alive.

Yahiko's face, bathed in a ray of sunlight, had a warm glow.

"Is everything okay?"

Yu Long blushed slightly and turned her head away, saying, "N-nothing."

The others also started whistling.

Yahiko quickly said, "I didn't mean anything by it!"

"Heh." Nagato sneered, his expression saying, "Do you think I believe you?"

The expressions on the other people's faces were similar.

The masked man immediately retorted, "Oh right, right. You've already lost a game, and you're still so smug."

Only then did everyone come to their senses and look at the group of sneering Rain Village ninjas on the opposite bank with a sudden realization.

"We won the first match," Hanzo said, raising his hand.

There was absolutely no sadness in his eyes about the child he had adopted and raised almost dying.

Seeing this scene, Yulong finally understood that Hanzo had completely changed and was no longer the leader of the Rain Village who was willing to sacrifice his life to protect the Rain Kingdom.

Yahiko noticed Yulong's expression, and looking at Hanzo's cold face, he said as if making a vow, "We will not lose."

Yulong was taken aback, but seeing Mihiko's cool profile, she blushed and nodded, "Mm!"

......

The ROOM space began to disappear, and Shirahoshi began announcing the opponents for the second match:

"Alright, let's begin the second round."

Bai Xing recalled the name on the crumpled paper and waved her hand downwards:

【Idol Deva Kyūsuke vs. Rain Spirit】

"Finally it's my turn."

Idaten Kyusuke stretched his limbs, and on the opposite bank, an ANBU ninja removed his mask, revealing a cold face with long black hair cascading down like a waterfall.

Bai Xing is probably that guy named Yu Ling.

"Hanzo is really cautious. Even when preparing for battle, he didn't have her standing by his side to prevent Yahiko or me from spying on his strength..."

"However, judging from her skeletal structure and other features, this woman is probably another assassination genius like Yu Long."

In terms of assassination, Bai Xing couldn't say for sure who was stronger. Therefore, Yu Long was the first person chosen to make the move.

As both sides took their seats, the referee, Shirahoshi, began to read the announcement and fire the flare:

"Then... let's begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two men below drew their weapons and charged forward, clashing together.

laugh! ! !

The moment Yu Ling, this aloof woman, pouted, Wei Tuo Tian Jiu Zhu immediately recalled one of the assassination techniques Yu Long had mentioned:

"Oh no! She must have a poisoned needle or some kind of hidden weapon in her mouth!"

Subconsciously turning his head, Wei Tuo Tian Jiu Zhu dodged Yu Ling's hidden poison needle attack. Yu Ling was slightly taken aback, after all, neither Yu Long nor Ji Yu had shown this technique in the previous battle.

If one attack fails, another will follow.

After four or five rounds of clashes between Idaten Kyūsuke and Yurei's ninja swords, they were locked in a stalemate once again.

But Yu Ling applied a little force with the sole of her shoe, making a soft clicking sound. Upon hearing this, Wei Tuo Tian Jiu Zhu immediately sensed something was wrong: "Damn it!"

Wei Tuo Tian Jiu Zhu immediately retreated, flipping his body in mid-air to increase the distance between himself and Yu Ling.

huh, huh, huh-

Three long, slender iron needles flew out, about to strike, and Idaten Kyūsuke's expression stiffened slightly...

puff!puff!puff!

Yu Ling smiled, but soon, five shurikens appeared between her right fingers and shot towards the side of the arena.

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

"Holy crap! What kind of power is that?!"

Above, Shirahoshi rubbed his temples as he watched the battle, thinking to himself that the Jonin from Amegakure were too strong, and the Jonin from Yahiko's side were basically being crushed!

Fortunately, he knew this in advance and made preparations accordingly.

Regardless, Yahiko will definitely win all three matches.

Yu Ling's attack speed is very fast, and her eyes are also very sharp. These are the basic qualities of an assassin: fast, accurate, and ruthless!
