Chapter 39: Nine-Tails's Chakra
Kazuki didn't feel there was anything wrong with Kushina like this. After all, she was just a seven-year-old child.
Could he possibly demand that Kushina be as rigid as Rinka? How boring would that be?
Children should have a childlike disposition.
Kushina wasn't a troublesome child. On the contrary, she was very sensible. She was just more straightforward in front of her family and important people, expressing her thoughts.
In fact, Kazuki was also full of dissatisfaction with such an environment. Let alone being here, he was dissatisfied with village life when he first arrived.
This world has no convenient online shopping, no food delivery, no mobile phones, no computers, no mobile games, no computer games, no online thots. Such a world is incomplete.
If he hadn't transmigrated into a world like Naruto, which requires strength, he would definitely find a way to develop various internet companies.
He must make sure that all those apps for admiring beautiful women appear.
As a transmigrator, Kazuki's adult soul couldn't get used to such a primitive environment, let alone Kushina.
Kushina pursed her lips and didn't continue to complain to Kazuki.
She knew that if she kept complaining, she would probably be sent back to the Ninja Academy by Tsunade, and then never be able to leave Konoha for missions again.
Rinka watched this scene silently, then took out two Military Rations Pills, put them in her mouth, looked up at the nearby trees, found a relatively thick one, and quickly climbed up.
"By the way, what's our mission this time?" Kazuki looked at Tsunade and asked.
"It's mainly to let you experience bloodshed." Tsunade said, then took out the mission scroll and handed it to Kazuki.
Kazuki opened the scroll and his lips twitched sharply. "A spy base found within the Land of Fire? You want our small squad to deal with it? Isn't this Anbu's job?"
"This is our first time working outside Konoha, and we haven't even seen bloodshed yet."
"Even for a bloodshed mission, shouldn't we be fighting rogue Ninja or looking for trouble with bandits?"
Kazuki's words immediately caught the attention of Kushina and Rinka. Rinka hadn't expected Tsunade to give them such a mission.
However, the more difficult the mission, the more challenging it was, and the more she looked forward to it.
Her recent progress in strength was fast, but it ultimately couldn't meet her expectations. She needed powerful opponents to push herself further.
As for fighting Kazuki, she wasn't that foolish.
Anyway, she felt that Kazuki was hiding a lot, and when he fought her, Kazuki never used his full strength.
"How can a bloodshed mission be like this?!"
Despite saying this, Kazuki still returned the mission scroll to Tsunade, his heart filled with eagerness.
He also looked forward to fighting strong opponents. In the combat arena, he could fight without restraint, but in real combat, he couldn't. He still had to face every opponent cautiously.
Otherwise, he might end up like Nawaki, getting into trouble in an unexpected place.
"Hmph, you're happy, aren't you?!"
Seeing Kazuki, Tsunade knew that he was quite satisfied with this mission.
Indeed, no matter how good-natured an Uchiha was, they were still an Uchiha. They had a pursuit for battle.
"After we finish eating, we'll rest. Tonight, we'll take turns on watch. I'll take the first half of the night, and the three of you will take the second half." Tsunade continued.
If they were outside the Land of Fire, or if Sakumo and his team weren't following them, Tsunade wouldn't feel comfortable letting three children stand guard.
Even if their configuration seemed perfect.
Unfortunately, Kushina hadn't awakened Kagura's Mind Eye like Mito, otherwise her sensory abilities would have been significantly enhanced.
"Alright!" Kazuki didn't refuse.
...
"Kazuki, I feel like someone is following us."
During the second half of the night, when it was Kazuki and their turn to stand guard, Kushina leaned into Kazuki's ear and whispered.
"Oh?"
Kazuki looked at Kushina with a hint of curiosity. He remembered that Kushina hadn't awakened Kagura's Mind Eye, had she?
When did she gain such sensory abilities?
"Hehe, when we left Konoha, Grandma Mito gave me some life-saving things. I found that I can sense the good and evil of people around me." Kushina boasted proudly.
Kushina was very happy today. She found that Kazuki was quite fond of her, even more so than Tsunade.
Not just Kazuki, but even Rinka was maintaining goodwill towards her, which meant she had also come to regard her as a friend.
This made Kushina very happy. Not long after they left Konoha, a group of people followed them. Some of them harbored ill will, while others harbored good will.
Kushina was a little confused. What was going on?
Kazuki's eyelid twitched. Mito must have given Kushina the Nine-Tails's Chakra, right?
And from the looks of it, this was very likely the Nine-Tails's Chakra purified by Mito, otherwise, with Kushina's current body, it would be difficult to withstand this Chakra.
Even if she could withstand it, she wouldn't be able to use it smoothly.
Rinka's heart tightened. She activated her Byakugan, scanned the surroundings, and imperceptibly nodded to Kazuki.
"It should be the village's Anbu. The spy base shouldn't be the main target. We might be the bait to draw out the spies." Kazuki pondered for a moment and then gave his guess.
Rinka frowned slightly, clearly agreeing with Kazuki's guess, but such a guess made her very uncomfortable.
Anyone being used as a target would feel uncomfortable.
"Actually, there's nothing strange about it. If our squad has the chance to continue existing, we will inevitably attract the attention of hostile forces, and our bounties won't be lower than Tsunade-sensei's."
Kazuki waved his hand and said, "We just need to do what we're supposed to do."
"Trust your comrades, trust Tsunade-sensei, and trust the village."
At this, Rinka and Kushina both fell silent.
What more could they say?
If they said anything more, it would be a sign of distrust towards the village and Tsunade.
Not far away, the sleeping Tsunade showed a smile.
These children were not foolish!
