Chapter 295 Class 7 Leaves the Village, Jugo Amazu of the Northern Base
"What? Another boring D-rank mission!"
"Damn it, Kakashi-sensei, you're even worse than the Third Hokage! I need a much more difficult, higher-level mission. No, it has to be a B-rank, or at least an A-rank mission!!"
In the Hokage's office, Naruto immediately shouted in dissatisfaction upon hearing the details of today's mission.
They are all stronger now than before the Chunin Exams, and Sasuke has even become a Chunin. There's no reason for them to be assigned lower-level missions.
How could this be repaired?!
“I agree, Kakashi-sensei.” Sasuke nodded in agreement, unusually speaking up in support of Naruto.
He was actually fed up with these time-wasting, low-level tasks!
"Well, this is really troublesome. Naruto is one thing, but I didn't expect even Sasuke to say that." Kakashi sighed, looking at his two angry disciples, and he himself had his own unspoken troubles.
It wasn't that he didn't want to send two people out of the village, but rather that the Akatsuki organization was still unclear about the situation. Orochimaru was also secretly coveting Sasuke; wouldn't sending them out on a mission at this time be too risky?
"Kakashi, since Naruto and Sasuke have said so, let's give us an A-rank mission. With me here, what are you worried about?" Just as Kakashi was having a headache, Junto finally couldn't help but step forward and say.
Honestly, he's the one who's suffering the most here!
What was supposed to be a high-risk, exciting mission set in a war-torn era has suddenly turned into a childish ninja game.
This kind of transformation is not something that ordinary people can understand or adapt to.
"Alright! Since even you've said so, then I'll give you a B-rank mission." Seeing Runtu speak up, Kakashi finally relented and agreed after looking into his eyes.
Naruto was about to argue and try to get an A-rank mission when Kakashi silenced him with a look, saying, "This is an escort mission that's very likely to be upgraded to an A-rank mission, Naruto."
"An escort mission of A-rank difficulty!!" Naruto's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, saying nothing more but looking on with anticipation.
If that's the case, then he won't be sleepy anymore...
"The Land of Tea will be holding the Todoroki Shrine worship ceremony, which takes place every four years. This is the mission request form. You will know the details of the mission when you meet the client, Lord Jirocho." Seeing that the biggest troublemaker was dealt with, Kakashi took out the mission request form and handed it to Junto.
"Jirocho? That name sounds a lot like Jiro-senpai..." Naruto muttered to himself, then immediately called Sasuke and Sakura to go home and pack their things with great enthusiasm.
"Wait..." Kakashi called out to Jundo with a solemn expression as he watched the three of them leave in a hurry.
"What's wrong, Kakashi?" Seeing Kakashi's serious expression, Junto frowned and turned his head.
Is there some other special circumstance?
"Now that you're Naruto's team leader, there are some things you need to know." Kakashi looked at Junto and said solemnly, "You know Naruto's identity. The reason I'm not letting him leave the village is because he's being targeted by a mercenary organization called Akatsuki!"
"dawn??"
"Yes, this is a terrifying organization composed of ten S-rank rogue ninja. They are a group of dangerous individuals whose goal is to collect the tailed beasts. Itachi Uchiha, the S-rank rogue ninja who wiped out the Uchiha clan, was among them!"
"Itachi!! So you mean..."
"That's right. They showed up last time and tried to take Naruto away, but Jiraiya stopped them! So Obito, if you encounter them, I'm counting on you for Naruto's safety. Also, don't let Sasuke impulsively seek revenge on Itachi Uchiha."
"I see." Runtu suddenly realized why Kakashi was so resistant to Naruto and the others leaving the village.
The Akatsuki organization? Since Itachi Uchiha was in there, does that mean we can conclude that these guys were the masterminds behind the Uchiha clan massacre?
"In short, be careful. If you encounter them, don't linger in battle. Abandon the mission and retreat immediately..." Seeing Runtu deep in thought, Kakashi immediately understood what he was thinking and gave him his final instructions.
Although Runtu's kaleidoscope reassured him, it would be troublesome if this guy got impulsive!
"Don't worry, with these eyes watching them, they'll be fine." Runtu smiled calmly and confidently assured them, showing no concern for Naruto and the others' safety.
Once he encountered Akatsuki, he immediately sent the three of them to the Kamui dimension to test Akatsuki's power.
If I could meet Itachi Uchiha, that would be wonderful!
Meanwhile, in the Land of Fields, in the Northern Strait.
"I sensed it! There's an unusual chakra reaction ahead. It should be the northern base we're looking for." On the shimmering sea, Karin suddenly stopped and looked in a direction, exclaiming in surprise.
"Found it? Orochimaru's experimental base." Tarojiro's face lit up with joy, and his eyes immediately gleamed.
My older brother said that there were many failed curse mark test subjects there, and it was also the location for their special training to master the power of the curse mark.
"Thank you for your hard work, Karin." Ishikawa smiled faintly, his left eye instantly turning crimson as chakra erupted from his feet. "Let's go. First, take out those guards and seize the northern base. We'll be spending the next two weeks here."
"Yes, Captain." Karin and the other two responded in unison, their steps quickening like arrows released from a bow.
In less than two minutes, the group of four rushed to the entrance of the base barrier, which was sealed off by an iron gate.
Without hesitation, Ishikawa, his speed undiminished, unleashed a monstrous punch with his right hand, "Bang!!"
The next instant, the heavy iron gate, covered with sealing runes, was blasted open by a violent force as if it were made of paper, opening the passage.
"Intruders! Stop them!" The base guards issued the warning almost as soon as the door was broken down.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt his body slam against the wall and lost consciousness...
"You can handle those guards. I'm going to find the target." Ishikawa's expression remained unchanged as he strolled deeper into the base toward the orange-haired boy who was being held in key custody.
"Konoha Anbu? Hmph, don't underestimate us!" The base leader and guard captain rushed out and sneered, "Don't think you can act so arrogantly just because you killed a Chunin guard."
The next instant, black curse marks appeared around his body, and his Jonin strength instantly increased several times over!
"This is the power bestowed upon me by Lord Orochimaru." With a low growl, the guard captain unleashed his power and charged straight at Ishikawa.
Despite the aggressive demeanor of the newcomer, Ishikawa remained unmoved and nonchalant.
Just as the captain rushed in front of Ishikawa, Karin's Rasengan struck him in the chest first, shouting, "Your opponent is me, Rasengan!!"
Almost simultaneously, Taro and Jiro exchanged a glance, activated their cursed seals, and charged into the base...
Ignoring the fierce fighting around him, Ishikawa strolled leisurely to the heavy iron gate of the base, and with a sudden burst of lightning from his right hand, he tore the gate apart as if slicing melons and chopping vegetables.
His gaze swept across the room, and his crimson eyes landed on a burly boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, huddled in a corner.
"Jugo, do you want to understand your true self? Do you want to truly master the power of the Cursed Seal...?"
