Chapter 175 Levels of Tasks
“Fire Release·Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!”
Mu Yue quickly formed a seal and used fire escape ninjutsu on Troy's body.
Boom!
A large number of small fireballs all hit Troy's body, and the body was instantly damaged and charred.
It’s not that Mu Yue was so cautious that she had to blow people up to feel at ease, but because she didn’t want people to recognize who the body was.
Kumogakure Mugetsu, who is at Troy's level, doesn't believe that he will be an unknown person. Defeating that Oka Nozomi can let Sarutobi Hiruzen know and reflect his actual combat level.
But if he could defeat a ninja of Troy's level, that would be another story. His current strength in Konoha Village was not enough to do this.
After the sea of fire receded, Kakashi and Obito rushed to Muyue to check the situation.
After discovering that Mu Yue was fully capable of dealing with the two jounin, Kakashi and Metkai besieged the Kumogakure ninja who was fighting Obito. The three of them worked together to quickly solve the opponent.
Because they were worried that something would happen to Mu Yue, one of them protected the client, while the other two chased towards the place where Mu Yue left.
“Teacher Muyue, are you okay?” Obito asked quickly after seeing Muyue.
Kakashi noticed the charred corpse next to Mu Yue and knew that Mu Yue had killed all two jounin, so he reported:
“Teacher Muyue, we have killed all the Iwagakure over there, but I don’t think they look like Iwagakure ninjas.”
Although the enemy was dressed like Iwagakure and had the same forehead protector, Kakashi noticed that all the Iwagakure ninjas were using Thunder Release and no one was using Earth Release, which made Kakashi aware that something was wrong.
Two jounin were using thunder escape, and the chunin also used thunder escape. Compared to Iwagakure, he felt more like a Kumogakure ninja.
“These ninjas are not only good at lightning escape, but their skin becomes darker after they die. I feel like they are Kumogakure ninjas who use transformation techniques to disguise themselves as Iwagakure.” Kakashi expressed his conclusion.
Mu Yue smiled and answered Obito:
“I’ve taken care of all the enemies, so of course I’ll be fine.”
Mu Yue then nodded to Kakashi and said:
“There is something really wrong with these Iwagakure ninjas. Considering that both Iwagakure and Kumogakure are at war with us, it may be that the Kumogakure ninjas want to intensify the war between us and Iwagakure.”
"Ah, aren't these people Iwagakure ninjas? Then Kumogakure is too despicable." Obito said dumbfounded.
He was still thinking that he must teach the Iwagakure ninja a lesson if he had the opportunity in the future. Unexpectedly, the enemy turned out to be the ninja of Kumogakure Village.
"Each ninja village's ninjutsu inheritance is different. The ninjas of Iwagakure Village mainly use Earth Release Ninjutsu, while the ninjas of Kumogakure Village are good at using Thunder Release Ninjutsu." Muyue explained, and then gave Obito a while of popular science. Common sense in the ninja world.
“The main traditions of Sand Hidden Village are Wind Escape and Puppet Technique, while Kirigakure Village mainly inherits Water Escape and Assassination Technique.”
“What about our Konoha?” Obito found that Mu Yue missed one.
Snapped!
Mu Yue used her left hand to give Obito’s little head a blow and said:
“Aren’t you a Konoha ninja and your own village doesn’t know about it?”
“Hehe, I am indeed not a ninja, I am still an intern.” Obito scratched his head and chuckled, “After all, I don’t have many contacts with ninjas, and I feel like everyone is different.”
"We in Konoha are quite complicated. There are all kinds of escape techniques, but it can be judged by the ninja family. For example, you Uchiha usually use fire escape." Muyue said that the situation in Konoha is different from other ninja villages. .
Mu Yue then sealed all the Kumogakure ninjas into scrolls and prepared to take them back to Konoha.
Konoha has relevant policies when unexpected situations arise during this kind of mission. If the client conceals information and a ninja enemy says there is no information, the ninja can terminate the mission on the spot and leave directly.
If the client is not concealing information, but accidentally encounters a hostile ninja, during the war, the mission level and bounty can be increased to a certain extent according to the number and strength of the enemy. This money is given by the village.
Mu Yue estimated that it would be difficult to identify the two jonin corpses as jounin.
Because the two jonins died so miserably, one was burned to the point of being reduced to a human figure by the flames, and the other was directly blown up by Mu Yuefeng's fairy fire last-ditch attack.
But what Mu Yue wanted was this effect. The two jonins were obviously one jounin and seven chunin. Although the jounin's body could no longer be seen, there were so many chunin, and it made sense for one jonin to take the lead.
“It’s okay, you guys can continue to sleep.” Mu Yue said to the tent where the client was.
"Sorry to trouble you." After hearing Mu Yue's words, Numata Yoshihuai was completely relieved, but he did not dare to sleep too deeply, fearing that there would be trouble. The movement just now was too big, and it was very close. Mu Yue and her three disciples then took turns keeping vigil and spent this somewhat restless night.
The next morning, Numata Yoshihuai woke up according to his biological clock. Perhaps because he didn't sleep well last night, he felt a little dizzy.
He carefully walked out of the tent without disturbing his wife and daughter who were still sleeping. However, when he saw the world outside the tent, he was dumbfounded.
To the north of the tent is a forest full of green trees, and to the south of the tent is a charred world.
The flames burned away all the green leaves of the big trees. As far as the eye could see, not a single tree had any green leaves. They were all dark and bare. There were black ash and black residual trees everywhere on the ground, a scene of doomsday.
"Is this the strength of a ninja?" Numata Yoshihuai swallowed, and his world view was greatly impacted.
He knows that ninjas are very powerful, otherwise he would not go to the ninja village to issue entrusted tasks to protect himself.
But what he thinks is strong is that a ninja can break a big tree with one punch, and use ninjutsu to destroy hard rocks, rather than just one night and find that the place he is in has changed from a forest to an incineration plant.
An inexplicable emotion suddenly appeared in Numata Yoshihuai's heart. Are ninjas with such destructive power still the same species as them?
“Uncle, good morning.” Obito smiled and greeted Numata Yoshihuai.
“Well, good morning.” Numata Yoshihuai responded with a smile.
In any case, after all, he was the ninja who was protecting him, so he didn't have to think about whether he could get home safely.
During the rest of the journey, they did not encounter any more ninjas. At most they were bandits with swords, and they successfully entered the capital of Tian Country.
"If I have another chance in the future, I will definitely name a few of them. They are so reliable." Numata Yoshihuai said with a smile after returning home.
Konoha can name ninjas to complete tasks, if the named ninja is available.
Mu Yue smiled and said a few words of humility, then turned around and left with her disciples.
“Goodbye, big brothers.” Little Loli, Mu Yue and others waved goodbye.
“Goodbye.” Obito waved excitedly.
"This mission is so exciting. It would be great if every mission was like this." On the way back, Obito was still excited when he recalled the fierce battle that night, especially Mu Yue's combination of ninjutsu. He thought about it I was so excited.
"What are you dreaming about? This time it was an accident within an accident. Under normal circumstances, a task of this level would be at least A level." Kakashi shook his head and said.
Because he had never fought against those two Jonin and did not know their specific strength, Kakashi was more conservative.
"What happened to the A-level mission? We haven't won yet." Obito said with a proud look on his face.
Kakashi stroked his forehead speechlessly and said, "The reason why I can defeat the enemy is because Teacher Muyue is super strong. Why are you so proud here?"
In Kakashi’s mind, this battle was actually very dangerous. If their teacher was not Mu Yue but an ordinary jounin, I am afraid no one could leave alive.
"Why can't you be proud? Teacher Muyue is my teacher. Can't you be proud that my teacher is strong?" Obito raised his head slightly and asked.
"And in terms of effect, my effect should be greater than yours. At least I have held back one enemy. If Teacher Mu Yue hadn't been protecting you, you would have been killed by the enemy long ago."
Kakashi's eyes flickered, and the memory of that night reappeared in his mind. Obito was indeed right. He became a burden to Mu Yue in that battle, and Mu Yue blocked many attacks for him.
“If it were me, would I protect my teammates like this?” Kakashi thought to himself.
If the enemy's strength is unknown and a teammate is controlled by an unknown ninjutsu, he may give priority to destroying the enemy and completing the mission rather than protecting his teammates.
“Teacher Muyue, is the belief you want to implement also to protect your companions?” Kakashi remembered what Muyue said to him on the first day he and Muyue met. Real ninjas implement their beliefs.
There will be more later
