Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

!!!

Every ninja in the Kusagakure Village, whether they were on a mission or resting, was shocked by the sudden loud noise.

"What happened? What happened?"

"Where did the explosion come from?"

"It seems to be in the direction of Lord Amakusa!"

"Is there an enemy attack? Then I have to go back and pack my things..."

"Stupid! Where can you run to? Why don't you come with me and see what's going on there!"

The ninjas were in a panic for a while, and the civilians also felt a strong sense of uneasiness. They closed the doors and windows of their homes for fear of being affected.

Although the ninjas of the Kusagakure Village were a bit weak, they were still ninjas after all. After a brief hesitation, everyone decided to go and check it out.

Even the ninjas they met on the road would automatically form teams, as if this would make them feel more at ease.

The bright moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds at some point.

The night grew darker.

"There is a battle wave!"

"Someone is performing a ninjutsu!"

"Could it be that Amakusa-sama is fighting the enemy?"

Feel the fluctuations of ninjutsu in the distance and the collision of high-quality chakra.

The ninjas looked at each other, their eyes showing deep fear and uneasiness, and then they tacitly slowed down their pace...

What a joke, old man Amakusa is extremely stingy. Normally, he only gives them so little money when they are asked to carry out tasks. Now that they are in trouble, they are gloating!

Moreover, if I go up there with my mediocre skills, wouldn't that be courting death?

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered!

However, there are exceptions.

For example, Tanaka, who just made a small fortune today!

He had followed Amakusa for a long time, and the price Amakusa gave him was 20% higher than that of others.

As the saying goes, a gentleman will die for his friend. Although Tanaka did not understand this principle, since his price was 20% higher than others, his speed should naturally be a little faster.

Moreover, Tanaka knew the strength of Amakusa. In his mind, there was no one in this village who could threaten Amakusa!

"If I can arrive first, I might be appreciated by the adults!"

"If the battle situation is not favorable, my lord, I can retreat immediately and escape before anyone else!"

"In short - it's a sure win!"

With this thought in mind, Tanaka rushed to the scene as quickly as possible!

However, the scene before him shocked him!

The battle was over, leaving several horrible craters on the ground, still emitting billowing hot steam.

A Grass Ninja was kneeling on one knee with his head lowered so deeply that his expression could not be seen. His breathing was rapid and heavy, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death fight.

Not far in front of him, stood an old man with his back to him. Although his clothes had changed, Tanaka was very sure that this was definitely Lord Amakusa!

Sure enough! I came to the right place!

Tian Xin felt happy, but also a little regretful.

What a pity I wasn’t the first one to come here!

He stared at his companion who was kneeling on one knee with his head down with some fear.

I didn’t expect that there would be such a person in the village!

You're even more of a fence-sitter than I am. This won't do!

But judging from his taciturn appearance, he probably doesn't talk much.

Tanaka thought about it, and immediately shouted loudly: "Lord Amakusa is indeed extremely powerful! I don't know which villain dared to go against you, he is simply courting death!"

"Lord Amakusa! Are there any other invaders? I am your most loyal Tanaka! I will fight them to the death!!"

While shouting, he quickly ran forward and knelt on one knee next to the Kusanagi ninja. At the same time, he quietly moved his body, pushed the Kusanagi ninja to the side, and occupied the center position himself.

"Ha ha……"

"Amakusa", with his back to the two of them, sneered twice.

"You two are the only ones coming to this Kusagakure Village?"

“I am so disappointed!”

There was anger in his tone, but Tanaka was delighted.

Isn’t the opportunity here?

"Lord Amakusa, I believe they didn't do it on purpose. They may have been delayed by something..."

Tanaka said carefully, then suddenly lowered his head.

A hint of tea fragrance wafted quietly in the air.

The grass ninja next to him trembled his shoulders, which made Tanaka feel quite dissatisfied.

You little brat, you don't know how to flatter me. Are you jealous of my talent?

Don’t think that you can seize the opportunity just because you are the first to come. Today I will tell you what it means to be the latecomer and gain the upper hand!

When Tanaka was feeling proud, his eyes accidentally glanced to the side.

There were three small corpses neatly arranged there!

!!!

He was shocked and quickly lowered his head even lower, while his body couldn't stop shaking, as if he had seen something terrible.

I don't feel as confident as before.

Because he knew these three people!

Although they had only met once, weren't these the three ninjas that he had brought into the village not long ago?

Especially the guy in the middle, who generously gave me some reward at that time.

Seeing the three of them again at this moment, all kinds of past scenes suddenly emerged in Tanaka's mind, and he was a little dazed for a moment.

"What's wrong, Tanaka?"

"Amakusa" said with a hint of joking: "Your expression is weird?"

"I……"

Tanaka quickly fell to the ground, sweating profusely. He took out the reward money from his arms tremblingly and threw it on the ground as if it was scalded.

"I deserve to die! Please spare my life! Lord Amakusa!"

He got up from the ground, his body still shaking uncontrollably, and he was cursing madly in his heart.

Damn it! These little bastards have caused so much trouble to me, it’s over, they’re dead this time! With the old man Amakusa’s bad temper, I’m afraid he’s going to get hurt this time!

Fortunately, at this time, the ninjas who were originally coming slowly heard Tanaka's howl, and they all sped up and ran over, and also learned to kneel on the ground.

In front of "Amakusa", a whole group of Kusanagi ninjas suddenly knelt down.

The scene was quite spectacular. The Grass Ninjas were like students being punished during military training, not daring to even breathe.

Tian was terrified and didn't know what to do. His mind raced as he thought of a solution.

However, to his surprise, "Amakusa" did not seem to intend to hold him accountable, and instead glanced at all the Kusanagi ninjas with cold eyes.

"The enemy is attacking, I'm here to fight them, what are you doing?"

"My lord, please forgive me!"

The grass ninjas were sweating profusely and immediately got down from their seats, putting their heads on the ground.

Tanaka also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it seemed that the adults did not intend to pursue his crime!

The last time someone made such a mistake, he was beaten to death on the spot! That scene left a deep psychological trauma on Tanaka.

but……

He was also somewhat puzzled. Did the old man Amakusa change his nature? He didn't even mention the punishment? Or... the old man was actually seriously injured!

The trembling of Tanaka's body slowly stopped, and some other thoughts came to his mind. Now might be the time when old man Amakusa is the weakest!

If possible……

A bold idea slowly formed in his mind!

Old man Amakusa can be the leader of the Kusagakure Village, but I, Tanaka, can't?

There were many people who had the same idea as him. Many of the people who had originally bowed their heads began to breathe differently and their heartbeats suddenly quickened!

The atmosphere became a little weird!

All of this naturally fell into the eyes of "Amakusa", causing a faint red color to appear in his eyes!

"You guys disappoint me so much."

He looked at everyone with eyes like he was looking at a bug and said, "I have been in Kusagakure Village for so many years, spent so much money, and raised you for so long, is it just for this day?"
