Chapter 172: Chapter 173: Speechless Mission
However, since Natsuki had developed these giant creatures, he naturally wouldn't dislike them.
Sometimes in battle, you have to use the most effective move depending on the situation.
Even the useless Whale crash could sometimes have unexpected effects.
With the Water Golem research done, it was time for the Stone Golem.
However, once you understand one, you understand all; the situation with the Stone Golem was naturally similar to the Water Golem.
It was just a matter of controlling the rock density.
Stone Golems with high density wouldn't be easily shattered.
Furthermore, there was the Golem's form.
The human form was naturally necessary, which was convenient for fighting Susanoo.
Besides that, there had to be other forms.
Like the Thousand-Hand Great Buddha, at least it had many hands, making it more powerful in a fight.
In addition, things like Stone Dragons, Stone Tigers, Stone Lions, Stone Blind Men, etc., as long as Chakra control was good, he could do whatever he wanted.
The key was that the combat power had to increase!
Natsuki played for two more days, feeling that he had mastered it well enough before resting.
Just in time, Tenten had also just returned from her mission.
As soon as she got home, Tenten collapsed into Natsuki's arms, her face devoid of life, as if something had happened that left even her, the master of complaints, speechless.
Natsuki readily helped Tenten undress and sent her to the bathroom for a bath.
While helping her scrub her back, he asked: "Tenten, what happened?
You're so mentally exhausted."
Tenten silently pushed away a certain person's wandering hand and said helplessly: "Don't mention it.
Just thinking about it makes me can't help but show dead fish eyes like Kakashi-sensei.
This mission was truly speechless."
"That serious? Tell me quickly!
If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being rough!"
"Okay, okay, where are your hands?
Put me in the bathtub first."
After Tenten was put into the bathtub and lay down, she sighed comfortably, "It's still comfortable at home!
This mission was really, tsk tsk."
Natsuki silently washed himself and also sat in the bathtub, waiting for Tenten to speak.
"This time, I followed Team Asuma to escort a merchant caravan to the Wind Country, passing through the Land of Rivers along the way.
The journey was quite long.
Moreover, the caravan had a lot of goods, and they were all quite valuable, so the risks encountered along the way wouldn't be small.
Then I found that Sakura's vigilance was too poor.
She didn't know what she was thinking the whole way and only noticed the thieves when they were almost in her face.
Choji and Ino performed well, but they seemed unable to coordinate with Sakura.
Even fighting the thieves was full of mistakes and omissions, and they almost let the thieves succeed.
The caravan leader almost cried.
Fortunately, the other party still believed in my strength, so they dared to continue forward.
Just as we were about to pass the Land of Rivers, these three guys thought they were almost there and clearly relaxed their vigilance.
Choji even kept eating potato chips non-stop.
Then we encountered a trap.
A group of rogue ninja ambushed us, and these three guys handled it terribly.
In the end, I had to intervene, and only then were the goods saved.
You don't know, after reaching the destination, the caravan leader cried and thanked me profusely, saying that next time they posted a mission in Konoha, they would definitely look for me, and definitely not those three.
Can you imagine the psychological trauma of the caravan leader?"
Ah, this...
Natsuki knew that this squad performed very poorly after being reorganized, but he didn't expect it to be that bad.
It was no wonder Tenten complained, because Tenten's previous Team Guy was very reliable.
Neji used his Byakugan to detect enemies in advance, Xiao Li charged forward, Neji's combat power was extraordinary, and Tenten provided support from the rear.
Basically, they could easily complete missions without relying on Teacher Kai.
This was really the first time seeing a squad like Team Asuma.
It would be strange if Tenten wasn't mentally exhausted.
Natsuki could understand what was going on, because Ino-Shika-Cho didn't separate.
When Shikamaru, the strategist of Team Asuma, was still there, there naturally wouldn't be problems.
Now that Shikamaru had become a Chunin alone, Ino and Choji couldn't handle it, especially with the addition of an unreliable Sakura, it was naturally full of loopholes.
However, there's a saying: you don't fear not knowing the goods, you fear comparing them.
Only through comparison do you realize there are even worse squads!
Natsuki laughed: "Your situation is bad, I guess Neji's side is even worse than yours.
Think about Naruto's personality.
I heard that Team Kurenai's mission completion rate is basically zero!"
"It seems, it seems you're right."
Tenten, however, unexpectedly breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go ask Neji later and see if he feels the same way. Oh, let's ask Shino too."
Natsuki, though, had confidence in Aoba Team: "Shino's team will definitely be fine. You know Xiao Li, Runya, and Megumi's personalities."
Tenten immediately became depressed: "That's true. Sigh, why wasn't I put in charge of Aoba Team?"
Seeing his girlfriend so unhappy, Natsuki wanted to cheer her up: "Tenten, don't think about that for now. I'll show you the Water Giant I've been developing these past few days. Although it can't get too big in the bathtub, I can make a small one for you to see. Watch closely!"
Saying this, he clapped his hands together: "Water Release: Water Giant!"
The next second, a cabbage-sized water figure appeared in the bathtub and even did a set of punches on the water surface, immediately sparking Tenten's interest.
Tenten quickly asked: "Natsuki, you said it's a Water Giant. How big a giant can you create?"
Natsuki gestured a number: "Hehe, sixty meters!"
Tenten became even more excited: "Then that really is a giant! Why don't we go to the riverbank sometime to try it out? I want to see how powerful it is, and I want to sit on the giant's head!"
"Okay, okay, whatever you say. I'll finish the demonstration for you first."
Natsuki continued the demonstration, then created Water Dragons, whales, and especially at the end, a Kraken, controlling its tentacles to do a few things. The scene was too beautiful to describe.
Anyway, after the bath, Tenten still glared at Natsuki with a blush.
The two went out to find Neji, but unexpectedly found Neji and Shino at Ichiraku Ramen, so they also ordered a bowl of ramen to eat.
Only after asking did they learn that Neji had actually met Shino while feeling depressed. Remembering that Shino was also assigned a similar mission, he wanted to ask about it and also check on Xiao Li's situation.
Then, the entire time, Neji was venting.
For the usually cool and aloof Neji to become like this, it shows how ridiculous the situation in Team Kurenai is.
After understanding the situation, Natsuki and Tenten both had expressions that said, "As expected."
This time, Naruto's team was assigned a treasure protection mission. A nobleman's treasure was being targeted, and they were asked to protect it for a few days.
Originally, this team seemed decent. After all, Hinata and Kiba were strong in reconnaissance, and Kiba and Naruto's combat power wasn't bad. As long as they cooperated well, there fundamentally wouldn't be any problems.
But the key was in the cooperation!
Hinata was indecisive and unconditionally trusted Naruto's judgment. Kiba and Naruto wanted to compete with each other during the mission, abandoning the treasure to deal with the enemy, resulting in the enemy stealing it and taking the treasure.
If Neji hadn't been watching from the outer perimeter, the treasure would definitely have been lost, and Konoha's reputation would have been lost along with it!
