Chapter 29: Pinru's Clothes
Naruto originally thought his teaching career would end quickly, but he didn't expect it to last for two months.
The three students, hungry for knowledge, made him realize the hardships of being a teacher.
Iruka-sensei, I promise I'll never skip class again.
If I skip class, let me never grow tall.
Naruto made a vicious vow on behalf of his original body.
After finding joy in the hardship, he looked at the hard, black steamed bun in his hand and fell into doubt.
Oda Nobuaki—this guy must be the reincarnation of some Saint of Survival.
For two whole months, nearly a thousand guards surrounded his home.
When he goes to the toilet, doesn't he feel a tightening in his rear being stared at by so many tough men?
"It can't go on like this!"
Naruto put down the hard steamed bun; he really couldn't swallow it.
This had already exceeded the level of a normal hard bun.
Moreover, his purpose for coming here wasn't to be a teacher, but to gain combat experience.
"I have an idea."
Naruto looked at Naoki and the other two, saying, "I plan to go out and draw the enemy's attention. You guys take the chance to escape in the chaos."
"Teacher, you mustn't!"
The three of them shouted in unison.
They naturally knew the danger involved.
Besides a regular army of a thousand, there was also a powerful Jonin like Asuma Sarutobi.
Once Naruto went out, it would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog—he would never return.
"There's no 'mustn't' about it."
Naruto had a smile on his face, showing no fear of death.
"Everyone has a mission, and I am no exception. As they say, death is like the wind, always by my side."
He stood up and waved his hand, taking not even a wisp of a cloud with him.
"Don't worry, I won't die that easily."
Tears welled up in the eyes of Naoki and the others.
This composure and calm would be forever etched into their DNA.
A few minutes later, Naruto returned to the cellar.
"Teacher, you're...?"
Naoki wiped the corners of his eyes, his face a bit dazed.
"I have to draw enough aggro to make them forget about your existence."
This was the so-called rule that you must prioritize attacking the one with the Taunt ability.
He planned to jump back and forth, saying 'come and hit me' to Oda Nobuaki and the others to max out his hatred value.
After Naruto finished speaking, he left again.
After several rounds of coming and going, the scent of blood on him became increasingly thick.
Ripple Merchant Guild...
This is my final Ripple.
Naruto sensed that the Chakra in his body was almost unable to maintain his form.
He drew a dragon with his left hand and said, "If you ever see this mark one day, it means it comes from Mandate."
"Teacher, can we join Mandate in the future?"
Naoki asked, holding back the grief in his heart.
"You already are."
Naruto looked at the expectant eyes of the three and laughed.
He patted Naoki and returned to the surface.
After several battles, his tracks had long been exposed.
Naruto glanced at Asuma and the guards behind him.
He didn't speak.
In his heart, he wondered if his short life had fulfilled the requirements of his original body.
Today, let me fight to my heart's content!
Naruto laughed heroically and charged forward.
In an instant, he was locked in battle with the crowd.
Asuma stood in place without making a move.
He could see that Naruto was at the end of his tether.
But that didn't hinder his admiration.
He thought of the Will of Fire the old man used to talk about.
In the years since leaving Konoha, this was the first time he had seen something similar.
The person in front of him exuded a sense of readiness to face death.
Asuma suddenly felt that he shouldn't die like this.
"Everyone back off, let me do it!"
He roared loudly.
Relying on his status as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja, the surrounding guards immediately retreated.
"Though we are enemies, you have moved me."
Asuma took out his Chakra Blades and said, "So I intend to personally send you on your final journey. But before that, can you tell me your name?"
He was indeed curious about where such a person was cultivated.
In terms of not fearing death, he had seen many, such as those in Anbu and Root.
But their eyes were dead, and their hearts were dead too.
Naruto straightened his back, looked at the layers of people, and laughed: "I am Mandate!"
All the remaining Chakra in his body gushed out.
In the night world, countless whirlwinds rose.
Like springs in the ocean, over a hundred azure light rings floated behind him.
In the nearly stagnant eye of the storm, exploding tags burned.
"Run!"
Asuma's pupils contracted as he roared in anxiety.
The sound seemed to trigger a chain reaction.
The whirlwinds began to tremble violently, and the Chakra twisted, like a bizarre and colorful spectacle.
In the next moment, they all snapped and expanded.
All the wind was covered by flames.
The ground disintegrated, armor disintegrated, human bodies disintegrated.
Everything fell into an irreversible collapse.
Finally, it formed a brilliant firework.
Rising in the night, it woke the sleeping people.
Chaos, screams, wailing, and cries.
Asuma looked at the center of the explosion with a dull expression.
The clothes on his body were already tattered.
Revealing patches of charred blackness here and there.
Although he was fast, he had stood too close. If he hadn't used Chakra to protect himself in time, he might never have been able to return to Konoha.
exploding tags were definitely a Ninja's ultimate weapon.
Asuma's body was trembling non-stop, partly from pain and partly from bewilderment.
He struggled forward, trying to find some evidence.
But everything was mixed together, and its original form could no longer be seen.
He grit his teeth and didn't give up.
Half an hour later, Asuma fished out a Kunai.
Besides himself, only the guy who just blew himself up was a Ninja here.
He was certain this Kunai was his.
Asuma's eyes scanned back and forth over the Kunai.
He was even more serious than when he looked at Yuhi Kurenai.
He suddenly frowned.
He seemed to have seen it somewhere before.
A moment later, his body jolted.
This is Cat Grandma's craftsmanship!
An incredible expression appeared on Asuma's face.
This Ninja who called himself Mandate actually came from Konoha?!
He was startled by his own conjecture.
If Mandate was a Konoha Ninja, why did he oppose Oda Nobuaki? And why did he have no reaction to him, the son of the Hokage?
Asuma couldn't figure it out.
"I must go back to Konoha."
He put away the Kunai and left Omi after handling the remaining matters.
As for Naoki and the others, they were no longer the focus.
Whether it was him or Oda Nobuaki, they both believed that Naoki and the others were just Mandate's subordinates.
After all, their strength was too poor... Hokage Building.
"Old man, do you know an organization or Ninjacalled Mandate?"
Asuma's boisterous voice gave Hiruzen Sarutobi a start.
He calmly turned off the crystal ball and said with a stern face: "So reckless. How many times have I told you to knock first?"
"I have an urgent matter."
Asuma didn't care about the details at all and said hurriedly, "Answer my question first!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave him a surprised look.
Setting aside the fact that this guy left the Land of Fire's Metropolis without permission, his current attitude alone was suspicious.
But he was his son after all.
He had always been good to Asuma, arranging everything clearly for him.
"Mandate?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head and said, "I haven't heard that name."
"That's strange then."
Asuma took out the Kunai and asked, "Old man, look at this, is it Cat Grandma's work?"
"It's hers. Why are you so frantic as soon as you get back? What exactly is going on?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi took out his pipe and took a deep breath. "Tell me the situation first."
Asuma knew he had indeed been too eager, so he paused and revealed everything that had happened over the past two months.
"Oh? A suicide agent at the Jonin level?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression also became somewhat solemn.
A Jonin is no small fry.
Using them as suicide agents is even more of a waste.
And from what Asuma said, Mandate is definitely not simple.
"I'll have someone investigate it thoroughly."
Hiruzen Sarutobi finally gave the order... 2nd Year Class A.
After Naruto finished reading all the memories of his Shadow Clone, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Why are you wearing Pinru's clothes?"
