The Heavens: From Naruto to sign in

After receiving the mission issued by the system, Yoruha couldn't help but sigh.

What a strange and convoluted check-in location.There was absolutely no one around.Still, it didn't really matter.

Activating two check-in tasks in a single day—That was basically hitting the jackpot.

Even if the rewards felt a little odd,It was still better than getting no mission at all.

When he finally reached the designated check-in point,Yoruha stood quietly on the fifth stone described by the system.

"System, give me some strength," he muttered under his breath.

But this time, there was no usual system prompt to begin the sign-in.Yoruha frowned.

Did the system seriously glitch at a crucial moment?

Just as he was about to question it—

Whoosh!

A sharp wind sliced through the air behind him.A hidden weapon!

Yoruha was long familiar with every type of concealed weapon.He could even combine and improvise them freely—A level of mastery that had already made him an expert in the craft.

So when the sound of wind behind him felt even slightly off—His body had already flipped through the air several times, creating distance between him and the unknown enemy.

At that same moment—Boom!

The stone he'd just been standing on exploded into a cloud of white mist.

When the fog cleared,A ninja with no visible village insignia appeared in Yoruha's sight.

"Tch. Konoha Village really lives up to its name as the number one ninja village," the stranger said coldly."My Transformation Technique, something I've always been proud of, was actually seen through by a kid?"

"Ha! Xiu'er, didn't I tell you this wouldn't work?" another voice joined in, mocking."If you can't even fool a brat, how the hell are you going to deceive someone from the Leaf?"

Two ninjas stepped into view.

One had just been disguised as the stone.The other had been hiding in the shadows, using a hidden weapon to attack Yoruha from behind.

"Kid, it's a shame—But we can't allow anyone to leak our whereabouts.From here on, you only get one option: die.Say your last words."

There was a dead coldness in Xiu'er's eyes.In them, Yoruha was already a corpse.

Facing that icy gaze, Yoruha frowned and sighed.

"Honestly…I didn't even realize you turned into a stone.I don't know who you are,I have no clue what you're planning,And I really couldn't care less.

So… how about we rewind things a little?Pretend this never happened?I mean, I'm just a kid, right?"

"Huh? Brat, are you out of your damn mind?" Xiu'er spat."What does being a kid have to do with anything?You wouldn't be the first child I've killed—Just the next name on the list."

But before Xiu'er could finish—

Yoruha had already moved.

Swish, swish, swish.

His body shot into the air.Hands flicked forward.Miniature shurikens, hidden in his palms, exploded outward in a tight barrage.

The shuriken whistled through the air, slicing toward the two attackers.

"Hmph. For a brat to be this good with hidden weapons…" Xiu'er snorted."Among kids, I'd say you're the strongest I've seen."

Both ninjas leapt into the air.Their bodies twisted, moving smoothly through the air as they dodged every single shuriken.Then, they started mocking him.

But Yoruha didn't respond.He was already preparing his next move.

Both hands gripped a handful of senbon (needle-like throwing weapons).Just like before—He launched them with precision at the same two enemies.

This time, Xiu'er laughed.

"I already told you, brat—Tricks like that don't work on adults! Ha!"

Again, they avoided the attack with ease.

But then—Clink! Clink! Clink!

A metallic ringing echoed behind them.

Xiu'er stiffly twisted his neck.What he saw made his face freeze.

All the senbon Yoruha had just thrown—Had struck the missed shurikens from earlier, which were still embedded in nearby rocks.

And in that instant—The mini shuriken bounced off with renewed force under the precise impact of the senbon.

The rebounding shuriken shot out like lightning.

Puff!

The sharp blades pierced through the throat arteries of both ninjas—clean, deadly, surgical.

Yoruha had landed his first kill.

When the bodies collapsed,He slowly walked over to the corpses and let out a quiet sigh.

"Sigh…Wouldn't it have been better to just stay alive?I told you I'd give you a chance.But you didn't want it."
