At this moment, Sarutobi, who was hiding in the shadows, looked at the corpses all over the ground and secretly praised him, saying that he was not uncomfortable at all when he killed for the first time. On the contrary, he became more and more courageous as he fought. This kid is simply a born ninja.
I threw up for a long time the first time I experienced this. It's true what they say, comparisons are odious, and the younger generation always surpasses the older.
On the battlefield, the three genin leaders immediately cowered upon hearing that the ninjas were from Konoha. The title of the number one ninja village in the ninja world was not just for show; offending Konoha would likely mean leaving the Land of Fire in the future.
But upon hearing the second half of the sentence, their fighting spirit was reignited: "To hell with you! Surrendering or not, we'll die! Brothers, let's fight!"
After saying that, he rushed towards Tianqi, and the group of people clashed together. As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. Ordinary people are easy to deal with, but facing the attack of three genin, Tianqi was also at a disadvantage for a time.
Damn, I miscalculated. I should have known better than to provoke them and give them some hope. These three guys were just using a trade-off strategy. Luckily, I used my Sharingan to avoid a fatal blow.
Looking at the wounds on his body, Tian Qi secretly rejoiced that he had taken the Water of Life and gained a strong physique, otherwise he would not have been able to hold on by now.
This won't do. We can forget about Karami, but we need to take down one of the three genin to completely tip the scales of victory.
In the midst of the chaos, Tian Qi appeared directly in front of the third leader. Upon seeing Tian Qi standing before him, the third leader did not hesitate and stabbed Tian Qi with his kunai.
"You brat, you'd better die!"
Seeing the shocked expression on Tian Qi's face after being stabbed, the third leader was also stunned for a moment before becoming happy. "Hahaha, kid, you've finally fallen into my hands. Let's see how excited you are now."
Tian Qi suppressed his shock and gave the third leader a cold smile: "You're celebrating too soon!"
"What?"
Before the third leader could react, Tian Qi's body slowly transformed into a flock of crows and flew in all directions. Then, the flock of crows condensed back into Tian Qi next to him.
"What kind of ninjutsu is this? I clearly stabbed him, how could this be?"
The ninjutsu of later generations is something that people today have never seen.
Tianqi, who was gathered next to the third leader, activated his two-tomoe Sharingan and thrust a kunai directly at the third leader.
"Third brother, watch out!"
"Third brother, watch out!"
Hearing what the eldest and second eldest brothers said, the third leader was also stunned. As soon as he turned around, a black kunai pierced through his heart.
The third leader looked at Tian Qi in disbelief, then spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly spoke.
"This, this, how is this possible?"
After saying that, he collapsed.
Looking at the fallen Third Master, Tian Qi said, "It's not unjust for you to lose to this move. You've already gotten your just desserts by dying under Itachi's attack."
The ensuing battle was almost entirely one-sided; with one less man, the two bandit leaders were no match for Tianqi.
Half an hour later, [Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission, reward 5000 points] After shaking off the last ordinary bandit, Tian Qi knew he had completed the mission upon hearing the system's voice.
He then cut off the heads of three lower-ranking ninjas and left the mountain stronghold.
Two minutes later, Sarutobi appeared in front of Tianqi. Seeing Tianqi sitting wearily at the entrance of the stronghold with the heads of three low-ranking ninja bandits on his left, he spoke.
"Tianqi, well done. Congratulations on completing your first B-level mission."
"Forget it, it's good enough that we didn't suffer a complete disaster this time. Here, take these three genin heads. I don't even have the strength to walk right now. Let me recover."
Sarutobi took the three heads from Tenki and looked at him with a bewildered expression. "Tenki, you don't know this, do you? We only take the bodies of rogue ninjas back, and we only take heads from the underground black market. We don't care about wandering ninjas like these."
"Really? I'm not quite sure." Tianqi genuinely didn't know any of this. He cut off his head just to prove that he had completed his mission; he hadn't really thought about anything else.
"Alright," Sarutobi then threw the three heads back to the stronghold and formed hand seals. "Earth Release: Earth Flow River," an A-rank ninjutsu, buried the entire stronghold.
Watching Sarutobi's movements, Tianqi sighed, "As expected of the future Third Hokage, he can use such powerful ninjutsu so easily."
Sarutobi then immediately carried Tensei on his back.
"Let's go to the hotel and recover slowly. I heard there are hot springs there. We finally got to come out, so we have to go soak in one."
Tianqi, who was being carried on his back, also showed a disdainful expression. "I thought you were worried about me, but it turns out you just wanted to peep at me at the hot springs."
"What spying? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I just wanted to go to the hot springs. Is that how you see me, Tianqi?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a serious expression. Anyone who didn't know him might actually be fooled by his earnestness.
Tianqi had seen through him long ago. He ignored him on the surface but thought to himself, "No wonder he's the master of the lecherous sage Jiraiya. Like master, like disciple. Spying is one thing, but making up an excuse to take a bath is another. How vulgar."
At the inn, Sarutobi booked two rooms for him. When Tianqi returned to his room, he took out the remaining bottle of Water of Life from the system, drank it, and instantly all his injuries healed, and his physique also improved.
After a long day of work, Tian Qi didn't even take a shower before collapsing onto the bed and falling asleep.
The next morning, Tianqi, who had just gotten up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, ran to Hiruzen Sarutobi's room, pushed open the door, and found that the room was empty.
Without a second thought, Tianqi went to soak in the hot spring. When he arrived at the bathing area, he changed his clothes and went inside. As soon as he entered, he saw Sarutobi standing next to the hot spring, peeking at the women's bathhouse across the way with a lewd look on his face.
"I knew it, that lecherous old pervert must be here," Tianqi said as he entered the hot spring pool and slowly approached Sarutobi. Once next to Sarutobi, Tianqi spoke up.
"Brother Sarutobi, didn't we come here to soak in the hot springs? Why did it turn into peeping?"
Hearing someone speak, Sarutobi was startled and quickly covered Tenki's mouth.
"Shh... keep your voice down. I'm not spying. I'm just checking to see if any perverts are watching. If so, I want to protect these women."
"I think you're the pervert. Protecting women? Who would believe that?" Tianqi looked at Yuanfei with disdain again.
Sarutobi realized that his explanation was indeed a bit far-fetched, and seeing Tenki's disdainful look, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Ahem... Tianqi, you'll understand when you reach my age. Do you have someone you like? If so, tell me. As your captain, I will definitely take good care of your life's most important matter."
"Come on, Sarutobi-san, you should take care of yourself. I think you should hurry up and find a wife so you don't have to come here every day and ruin these girls."
"What scourge? I already said this is for protection, don't you understand?" Sarutobi said with a serious expression.
Tianqi wore a disdainful expression again. If someone didn't know better, they would really think Sarutobi was protecting someone looking so serious. Unfortunately, Tianqi knew him too well. He could never forget the scene of him using the telescope technique with the crystal ball in his old age.
Seeing that Tianqi was still looking at him with disdain, Sarutobi changed the subject.
"Wow, the injury you got yesterday is already healed and you can soak in the hot spring today. Your recovery is amazing."
"They're just superficial injuries. I was just too tired yesterday. I don't have many other advantages, but I heal quickly," Tianqi replied.
Hearing Tianqi's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no doubts. Some people do have good physiques, and their external injuries do heal quickly.
"I was originally planning to go back tomorrow, but since you're all better, let's go back today. I really miss the girls in the village... cough cough, I really miss the delicious food in the village. I'll treat you when we get back."
Seeing that Sarutobi almost let it slip again, Tianqi silently felt sorry for the women in the village. With such a voyeur, the women in the village were going to suffer.
