Chapter 28 Mission Completed
"Ouch! Spare me..."
"Help... I won't do it again..."
"I surrender, Grandpa Ninja, please don't burn it..."
……
Seeing that nearly half of the gang of thugs on the street had been burned to death by Akashi, and the remaining half were lying on the ground crying and begging for mercy, Akashi finally stopped.
These civilian chakra thugs can put up a fight against ordinary genin from ninja villages due to their numerical advantage, but against chunin, they have to resort to "human wave tactics," otherwise they're basically doomed to be slaughtered by the chakra thugs...
Unfortunately, both Akashi and Lanwu were Chunin-level, while the opposing group of a dozen or so was far from being a "sea".
With such a commotion here, and with Minato watching over Kurokichi, Akaishi and Ranmai weren't in a hurry to find anyone; they were just waiting for someone to come over.
Lan Wu was slightly surprised—Chi Shi's Fireball Technique just now seemed to be much stronger than when he was snatching the bell!
When they were fighting over the bell, Akaishi's "Great Fireball" was two or three meters in diameter; now it should be... a little over three meters.

More importantly, judging from the intense heat, Lan Wu realized that Chi Shi's fireball was even hotter than before!
While increasing chakra output could theoretically achieve a similar effect, it wouldn't be worthwhile. Moreover, Akaishi's performance just now didn't seem strained, so it should have been a standard "Great Fireball Technique".
In this case, the range is larger and the temperature is higher, which clearly indicates an improvement in morphological and property changes!
"Your Fireball Jutsu seems a bit stronger than before... uh." Lan Wu regretted saying it as soon as it left her mouth.
As expected, Akaishi said with a smug look on his face, "It's just a change in nature and a change in form, it's not that difficult."
Lanwu: ...
……
Not long after, the riot on West Street attracted the sheriff and other arresting officers. Heiji, who was trying to escape, was also brought over by Minato.
"Kurokichi! It's you... No wonder we couldn't find those thieves for so long!" Naijiu glared angrily at Kurokichi.
By this time, he had already heard from the Konoha ninjas about what had happened.
"Hmph, we work so hard as catchers, how much do we make in a month? It's not even enough to support our families. You fat pigs, you just hold meetings every day and then hand out huge sums of money... Isn't the peace of the Flower Capital maintained by us? I'm just taking back what's rightfully mine!" Blackie said defiantly.
What Heiji said...
Akaishi thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Minato quickly took Naku's mission confirmation letter and then left with Akaishi.
There might be accomplices among the catchers, but that's not their problem as Konoha ninjas. They've captured some of the thieves and the gang alive, and then the Flower Capital can investigate on its own. The Flower Capital only spent 100,000 ryo on this mission, and only 50,000 ryo ended up in the hands of the mission ninjas. How much after-sales service do they expect?
After receiving Naku's mission confirmation letter, Akaishi and his two companions returned to the inn.
"Oh? You completed the mission on the second day... Not bad, not bad." Jiraiya nodded in satisfaction after seeing the mission notice.
Jiraiya then put on a stern face and said, "But don't get too cocky. This mission was originally scheduled to be completed in only three days... You all need to remember to use your brains more in future missions!"
"Yes!" the three Akaishi responded.
Jiraiya paused for a moment, then adopted a "keep the music playing and keep dancing" expression, sipping his drink as he said, "Since you've completed your mission today, I'll cover your food and lodging expenses! You can relax now, and tomorrow we'll set off back to the village with Hiru's Chunin squad."
If Akaishi and the others fail to complete the mission, Jiraiya will definitely hold them accountable, making them feel a sense of urgency.
However, since the task was completed ahead of schedule, Jiraiya decided to cover his own expenses and let them relax.
As for Hiruko and the others, since they had just completed a long mission and were taking a day off in the Flower Capital, they would also set off tomorrow.
Akaishi was naturally the happiest, because on the way back he could ask Yashiro for advice and copy his ninjutsu.
only……
On the way back to Konoha, that very night while camping in the wilderness, Yashiro discovered the problem!
"Akaishi? Why are you practicing ninjutsu again? Can your eyes take it?" Yashiro frowned deeply when he discovered Akaishi secretly practicing ninjutsu.
"Brother Yadai, don't worry... My situation is a bit special, as the clan leader and Elder Lanyu know. I will pay attention to the degree of eye strain and do what I can," Chishi explained.
Although the clan chief and elders told Akaishi to keep his being entangled by an "unknown entity" a secret, Akaishi did not deliberately conceal his recovery ability.
Whether it was Fugaku or Yatsushiro, Akaishi simply did not explain the reason, nor did he make a point of letting people know that his recovery ability was different from that of ordinary Uchiha, and he did not dwell on not showing any "abnormalities".
after all……
Genius is an "abnormality" in itself, and the clan chief and elders did not ask Ashi to pretend to be ordinary.
Hearing Akaishi say this, Yashiro was relieved and did not ask any more questions. After confirming that his eye power was indeed calm, he copied a few more earth-style ninjutsu for him.
Three days later, on January 27th.
Jiraiya's team and Hiruko's team returned to Konoha and first went to the Hokage Building to submit their mission.
"After deducting the expenses during the mission, and my reward... this is your mission reward." Jiraiya said, distributing the "huge sum" of 8,200 ryo to each of the three, including Akaishi.
"So many? Jiraiya-sensei, you should be able to..." Akaishi said shyly.
This share is already quite substantial.
Generally speaking, when "one Chunin and three Genin" complete a mission, the Chunin takes half of the reward.
For this mission in the Flower Capital, there were considerable expenses for food and lodging, all of which were paid by Jiraiya. Jiraiya also treated them to a meal one day. The three of them earned a net profit of 8,200 ryo, which was split equally between Jiraiya and the three of them.
"Alright, today is the first time you've received ninja rewards. It's different from your usual pocket money. It's something to celebrate and commemorate. You guys treat me to barbecue!" Jiraiya interrupted.
"Okay! Let's go to the most expensive pine needle barbecue!" Lan Wu made the decision immediately.
She doesn't lack the eight thousand two hundred taels, but it means something different to her.
Including personal expenses such as provisions during the journey, each person earned about eight thousand on this trip.
Not a huge amount, but not a small amount either. In terms of purchasing power, in Konoha Village, it could buy 100 bowls of Ichiraku Ramen with double toppings, or 200 bowls of Ichiraku Ramen on sale...
Of course, none of the three were particularly interested in money.
If Akaishi hadn't obtained the "Immersion System," he might have been counting the money on his fingers, since ninjas also need to eat. But now... Akaishi only sees this as the beginning!
