Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 105

"what happened?"

You still seem a bit restless!

The woman who appeared before Brubi proactively tore off her own human skin, revealing Orochimaru's aloof face:

"Let me fill the void in your heart and completely liberate you from the anxiety and restlessness of being a Jinchūriki!"

"Ughhhh—" Brubi's eyes widened, his gaze vacant, his body still trying to struggle. But the genjutsu drug was specially developed by Orochimaru, and he couldn't resist it at all. Then, Orochimaru formed the characters 'fire, water, wind, lightning, earth' on the tip of his right finger, and as the sealed chakra was released, black characters with sealing patterns appeared on the front of Brubi's chest:

"Welcome your new path—the world of death!"

“Unblock!”

"Come out! Eight-tails!!"

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Boom boom boom——

The Eight-Tails' enormous tentacles suddenly erupted, instantly attracting the attention of the sealing force ninjas left behind by the Third Raikage, who also immediately rushed over from the Raikage Building...

On their way to Kumogakure, Shirahoshi suddenly sensed something and stopped. The Milie squad ahead of him were puzzled. At that moment, Shirahoshi squinted and looked at a coastal area on the outskirts of Kumogakure: there was a powerful chakra fluctuation that was erupting there, which he estimated could only be of this level.

"What's wrong?" Milie stopped and asked Shirahoshi.

A while ago, Milie was weak from her injuries and caught a cold and developed a fever. After Shirahoshi examined her, she had Wuhua make some ginger soup to warm her up and used medical ninjutsu to treat Milie's body. She recovered in no time.

Inviting Shirahoshi to visit Kumogakure is also a way to recruit him as a medical ninja.

Of course, Shirahoshi explained that she was just going sightseeing, and as for becoming a ninja of a major power, well, forget about it.

But Milie didn't give up, thinking that their team and Shirahoshi had become friends after their initial conflict, and that Shirahoshi's character made her someone worth trying to win over.

then.

The team arrived near the Hidden Cloud Village.

But now, Shirahoshi felt it was not advisable to stay here any longer. If the Eight-Tails' matter were pinned on him, that would be bad: "Mr. Milie."

"what?"

"I suddenly remembered that I still have something I haven't taken. I'm so sorry, I have to go back to town."

"I see." Milie didn't suspect anything. After all, if Shirahoshi really was a spy or undercover agent, she would have made her move long ago.

Perhaps the other party has some urgent matter at hand, but is not at liberty to explain.

He didn't think Shirahoshi was an ordinary medical ninja.

He was able to kill his disciple without using chakra, so he must be an elite-level combat-type wandering Chunin.

"Ok."

"This is my invitation to you. If you ever have the chance to visit Kumogakure again, you can give this token to the guards, and they won't stop you!"

Milie took out a wooden plaque, then thought of his wife and hugged Shirahoshi's shoulder. Shirahoshi continued to observe with her shallow chakra eyes (afraid that Old Man Deng might suddenly give him a kunai):

"Oh, right. Actually, there's another thing I need your help with that I invited you to do."

"Uh. What did you say?"

Milley said with a serious expression, "My wife's health has not been very good since giving birth, and I see that you can help me recover with ordinary things, so I think your way of maintaining health must be quite good."

"So I'd like to ask you to help take care of my wife."

"If you have other urgent matters, you can come to the village after you're done to help my wife with her treatment. Money is not a problem!"

"Uh. Well, it doesn't really matter." Bai Xing scratched his cheek, thinking to himself, "You change your mind so quickly." But suddenly, Bai Xing noticed many figures appearing in front and behind him, and he was stunned: countless patrolling Cloud Village ninjas appeared one after another.

"Jonin Milii! Something's happened! The Eight-Tails has appeared from the village!!"

A voice suddenly rang out from a Cloud Village Jonin, and a series of gazes swept over Shirahoshi. However, since he had been walking with Mirii when they passed through the official road earlier, the Cloud Village Jonin did not pay any attention to Shirahoshi.

—After all, Milie dared to bring the other person back to the village, so the other person's identity must be legitimate.

Furthermore, gathering important intelligence within the Hidden Cloud Village without being discovered by the village's ninjas is an extremely difficult task.

"Eight Tails?!" x3

The exclamations of the three genin hit Milie on the head. In an instant, he thought of what Shirahoshi had just said. Shirahoshi's face remained calm, but her heart was beating faster as she prepared to expose her identity.

“You—” Milie drawled, her voice low, staring directly at Shirahoshi, whose fingertips were poised to unleash an attack.

But next second.

Milie, however, patted Shirahoshi's shoulder generously, almost making Shirahoshi explode, and said:

"I didn't expect Mr. Bai to be a sensory-type ninja!"

No wonder you wanted to leave just now.

"So you noticed it."

"But I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, please stay in the village with my team for a while. It's not safe outside now. If a Tailed Beast Ball comes at us, we won't be able to defend against it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xing felt relieved and realized that leaving now would not be a wise move, so she nodded and said, "Whatever."

"But I'll make it clear first."

"I will not join your Cloud Village."

"If you seek treatment from me, I will charge you."

"No problem, no problem. Wu Hua, Troy, and Carly, the three of you escort Mr. Bai to the village to rest!"

With that, Milie looked at the newcomer, a Jonin from Kumogakure: "Lord Tsuchidai. Let's go together!"

"Hmm!" Tsuchida glanced at Shirahoshi. From the conversation between Miri and Shirahoshi, he could deduce that Shirahoshi was probably a medical ninja, so he didn't pay much attention to her. At this moment, Tsuchida didn't have Byakugan; he had ordinary eyes.

Chapter 101 Red Hair Under the Moonlight

Restlessness and unease were Shirahoshi's first feelings upon entering the Hidden Cloud Village.

Even if the Eight-Tails' release doesn't happen in the center of the village, it can still cause great panic among many ninjas.

Then, this sense of panic will unknowingly spread to other people.

The living environment in Kumogakure is far inferior to that of Konoha or even Konoha's towns: almost all houses are built using natural rocks to stabilize them, thus reducing the amount of construction materials needed.

After passing through the protective gate of Kumogakure, flashes of blue lightning frequently appeared in the sky, a natural phenomenon common in high-altitude areas.

"As expected of the place where the Hidden Clouds reside."

"With the aid of natural lightning in training, one will have a natural advantage against lightning-style ninjas."

—High lightning resistance.

At this moment, Shirahoshi had no idea what Sasuke was thinking, actually wanting to use Lightning Release in front of this group of roughnecks who specialized in Lightning Release, especially against the Raikage...

"I'll take Mr. Bai to my house first. You all go to Teacher Milley's house and take good care of Mrs. Ruixue and little Samui."

"Yes!" x2

Wu Hua and Carly nodded slightly, both glancing at Bai Xing at the same time, before rushing off towards the Milie family's house.

Seeing this, Bai Xing glanced down at Troy: This kid seems a bit wary of him.

"Let's go."

Shirahoshi had no objection, nodded slightly, and followed Troy to his home.

......

Just as Shirahoshi thought, the living conditions in Troy's house wouldn't be much better than those outside the gate.

Before them stood an entrance resembling a cave, with a steel gate nestled among the natural rocks.

In addition, this door looks very heavy.

After Troy took out his key, he didn't open the door immediately. Instead, he went to the gate, lay down on the ground to examine it, seemingly checking if anyone had come in. Then he stood on tiptoe to check if the thin wire left on the iron gate was broken...

"What the hell?! Is this your home or an enemy military base?!"

In response, Shirahoshi internally complained about just how bad the safety index of Kumogakure really was.

click-

Troy pushed the iron gate open forcefully, revealing an interior scene that surprised Shirahoshi: modern decor, the rather ordinary kind.

"Here, wear these, so you don't mess up my living room." Troy took out a pair of slippers and placed them to the side. He then took off the long combat boots worn by Cloud Village ninjas, put on a pair of slippers, went inside, and turned on the lights.

"When I saw you coming home like this, I thought you Cloud Village ninjas were living the life of ancient savages."

"Hehe. This is all part of the training a ninja should receive." Troy poured himself a glass of water, then poured one for Shirahoshi. Turning to Shirahoshi, who had put on her slippers and was walking over, he took a sip and continued:

"Whenever I leave home and no one is home, I must be prepared to be vigilant."

"This is one of the components of our Cloud Village ninja promotion assessment."

"So this heavy-looking iron gate is also part of the test?" Shirahoshi took the water Troy poured and drank some. "Being a ninja in a great nation is really tough."

“That’s not it.” Troy put down his water glass, lay down on the only three-seater sofa in the room, and casually picked up a magazine from the table:

"This is for my training. And the door, which weighs about 200 kilograms, can also prevent outsiders from stealing."

"..." Bai Xing glanced at the surroundings and thought to herself, "If someone knew earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to enter), they would have been able to get in."

Next, Bai Xing observed the entire room: a 50-square-meter single room, rows of transparent windows facing the main door, many photo albums hanging on the walls, a bouquet of flowers on the shoe cabinet, a large bed about 1.5 meters wide placed in the corner, and a separate bathroom...

Bai Xing stepped to the window, looked up, and saw the surrounding mountains towering into the clouds. Looking down through the thin clouds, she could see a bridge formed from natural rock and a street scene that had been built later.

Troy, who was resting on the sofa, was outwardly glancing at the contents of a magazine, but inwardly he was worried about Milie's safety. However, in front of outsiders, he maintained the composure befitting a ninja. At the same time, he was also observing Shirahoshi's behavior out of the corner of his eye.

"Nice scenery."

"But it is not suitable for people with a fear of heights to live in."

Shirahoshi commented, and Troy sneered, "If you can't even handle this little bit of setback if you want to become a ninja, then you might as well not be a ninja at all."

"That's true."

Shirahoshi thought that Killer Bee seemed to have gone to the border with the Fourth Raikage to participate in the defense work when he was about ten years old. Presumably, the education of the Cloud Village ninjas was somewhat different from the traditional education of Konoha: "Speaking of which, aren't you worried about your teacher's safety? The Eight-Tails sounds like no ordinary opponent."

As a wandering ninja, one should not know too much about the tailed beasts. After all, most villages use the tailed beasts as nuclear weapons to deter enemies, and in reality, the number of times the tailed beast ball is used on the battlefield is very small.

"do not worry."
