Volume 1, Chapter 24: Everything has a first time, even murder

A group of people were lying in ambush in the woods on the roadside ahead.

These people harbored deep ill will towards the team, and when Xiaobai discovered an ambush, he immediately notified Qianyue.

“Stop it.”

Chitsuki called out to Mikoto and her employer.

"Little brother, why did you stop?"

As they were getting closer and closer to Daming Prefecture, the employer wished he could grow wings and fly to Daming Prefecture immediately, but Qianyue asked them to stop at this time.

"There is an enemy ambush."

After taking a look at her employer, Chitsuki said to Mikoto:

"Misaki-nee, I'll take care of the left side, and you take care of the right side, so let's make this quick and easy."

"yes!"

The two quickly separated and rushed into the woods on both sides of the road.

Facing the enemy for the first time and about to start a fight, Mikoto was a little nervous.

It could be seen from the hand that was holding the kunai so tightly that the fingers turned white.

"Oh no, we've been discovered. There are only two little devils escorting that guy. Kill them!!"

Seeing the team split up, Chizuki and Mikoto rushed towards the woods on both sides, while the employer stayed where he was.

Those who were lying in ambush realized that they were exposed.

Killing is an inevitable growth experience for ninjas, and Chitsuki and Mikoto are no exception.

He is not dressed as a bandit, but more like a warrior kept by someone.

The people who were lying in ambush in the woods no longer hid when they found themselves exposed. They jumped out one after another, drew their samurai swords, and rushed towards Qianyue.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Qianyue quickly formed seals, and a fireball with a diameter of more than half a meter flew towards the captive warriors.

"No, run!"

The warriors didn't expect Qianyue to have no martial ethics at all. As soon as they met, he threw a fireball at them.

There was a violent explosion, accompanied by some wailing sounds.

Qianyue raised her hands and fanned them in front of her eyes a few times, because the smell of barbecue was spreading in the woods.

"Bah! Who the hell said that the Fireball Technique can't kill people?"

Looking at the messy scene and the charred corpse on the ground, Qianyue felt that she didn't want to eat barbecue in the past few days.

As for reactions such as nausea, discomfort, or even vomiting, they did not occur.

Qianyue solved the problem of a few ordinary samurai with just one ninjutsu, easily and without any trouble.

The only imperfect thing was that there were still two people who were not dead and were lying on the ground wailing.

Shaking his head, Qianyue threw out two kunai, ending the opponent's life, and ran to the other side.

Compared to Chitose's violent crushing, Mikoto's battle was much more troublesome.

She was not as strong as Qianyue, and because of her nervousness, she did not consider that even ordinary C-level ninjutsu could be deadly to these ordinary samurai.

There were many corpses lying on the ground, some with their throats cut by kunai, and some with their hearts pierced.

In the woods, Mikoto lowered her head while holding the ninja sword.

There was still blood dripping from the ninja sword, and her clothes were also splattered with a lot of blood.

"Mikoto-sister."

Qianyue walked forward and called out, tightly gripping the hilt of the knife, and Mikoto, who had been keeping her head down in silence, raised her head.

A pair of blood-red eyes were facing Qianyue, and there was a trembling magatama in each eye.

From this, it can be seen that the owner of these eyes is in a state of great emotional fluctuation at this moment.

Because it was my first time killing someone, did it open my eyes?

Mikoto is almost eleven years old. At this age, she is already in the upper class among the Uchiha people.

There are only a few rare cases of people opening their eyes at the age of seven or eight.

The vast majority of Uchiha clan members open their eyes after the age of ten, with twelve or thirteen being the most concentrated period.

Qianyue is a complete exception.

After all, he didn't open the eyes himself, but used a plug-in.

"It's okay, the enemy is dead."

Chitsuki raised her hands and pulled Mikoto into her arms, patting her back and comforting her.

With Chitose's comfort, Mikoto's mood swings quickly stabilized.

"Qianyue, my eyes......."

"Yes, your eyes have been opened. From today on, you are a true Uchiha talent."

Qianyue smiled and made a joke.

Mikoto relaxed completely.

"Let's go, I don't really like seeing these dead bodies."

It will take Mikoto some time to recover from the aftereffects of her first murder.

"Little brother, are you all right?"

Seeing the blood on Uchiha Mikoto's body, the employer was shocked and thought she was injured.

"fine."

Qianyue smiled and shook her head, saying, "They are just a few ordinary warriors. They can't hurt us. Uncle employer, let's continue on our way."

There are various animals in the Konoha forest, and these animals will dispose of the corpses in the forest.

"Misaki, when you first open your eyes, you will feel a little uncomfortable. If you open your Sharingan for a long time, your eyes will feel sore, and your mental strength and chakra will be consumed quickly."

On the way, Qianyue told Uchiha Mikoto about some of the symptoms she experienced after opening her eyes.

After experiencing an ambush and attack by the samurai, the team successfully arrived at the Daimyo Prefecture before noon.

The employer was successfully delivered to Daming Prefecture and the escort mission was completed perfectly.

Although the reward for this escort mission was a little lower, it opened Uchiha Mikoto's eyes. Qianyue felt that this was more worthwhile than earning more money.

After returning to the village and adapting to the Sharingan, Uchiha Mikoto's strength will continue to grow rapidly.

Single magatama, double magatama, triple magatama, every evolution of the Sharingan can greatly increase the strength of the Uchiha clan.

If you open the kaleidoscope and then transplant the eternal kaleidoscope, the improvement in strength will be a huge leap forward.

The two did not stop on the road and hurried as fast as they could, returning to the village in the early morning.

In the following period of time, Chitsuki and Uchiha Mikoto would take on a mission at intervals.

Minato expressed his envy of the two's freedom and felt anxious!

Ever since becoming Jiraiya's apprentice, Minato found that he had no time to rest.

With two teammates, I followed Jiraiya around the world.

"Teacher Jiraiya, why did the village ask us to monitor the movements of the Rain Village?"

Minato expressed his incomprehension of this mission.

It's peacetime now, and the village gave their team the task of monitoring ninjas from other villages. Aren't they afraid of provoking conflict by doing this?

"In fact, the teacher can't figure out why the old man wants us to carry out this task."

Minato and his two teammates were tired of the environment and bad weather in the Rain Country, and Jiraiya hated it even more.

When you go to other countries, you can occasionally go out to collect folk songs and find suitable places to collect materials.

But in the Land of Rain, there is nothing but rain.

Want to collect materials?

No way.

Why not leave this task to that guy Orochimaru?

Isn't he very good at lurking?

Jiraiya complained in his mind, but with a smile on his face, he explained to Minato:

"I think it has something to do with the Rain Village's continued expansion of its military strength."

"Why?"

This should be the Rain Village's own family affair and has nothing to do with Konoha.

Could it be that Konoha also wants to get involved in the military expansion of the Rain Village?

Minato is talented, has a high level of comprehension, and has first-rate combat awareness. Most importantly, when he encounters something he doesn't understand, he will humbly ask for advice, which makes Jiraiya very satisfied.

This disciple was the right one.

Not to mention, Minato might be the savior predicted by the Toad Sage.

Therefore, Jiraiya paid special attention to Minato's teaching, obviously more than Minato's teammates.
