Naruto: Blood Mist Escape

Kirigakure

at dusk

In Taro Takeuchi's weapon shop, Wuxin sat in the middle of the counter, his chin supported by his left hand, playing with a gleaming dagger with his right hand, and occasionally looking back at the wall clock.

Ever since Wuxin created the Wind Release Fan half a year ago, the owner of the Takeuchi Weapon Shop, Mr. Takeuchi Taro, was astounded. As a weapons dealer, Takeuchi Taro was keenly aware of Wuxin's value and hired Wuxin on the spot as the blacksmith in his weapons shop with a high salary.

Wuxin, who was a Genin, did not have many tasks to do during his career, so after careful consideration, he agreed.

Of course, the main reason is that the conditions offered by Taro Takeuchi are too generous. The ninja tools in the weapon shop can be used on unlimited credit.

As for the repayment of the account, it can be deducted from the commission of Wuxin's forged treasure at a 50% discount in the later stage. This is simply too much for Wuxin, a ninja.

Wuxin's main job after joining the company is to forge weapons for Takeuchi Taro, but because the weapon forging furnace is not opened every day, he also works as a clerk in Takeuchi Taro's weapon shop.

The Wind Style Noble Phantasm is named Banana Leaf Fan and is sold exclusively in Takeuchi Weapon Shop. Excluding the cost of approximately one million taels of chakra metal required, each Wind Style Noble Phantasm fan is sold at 10 million taels. Wuxin's commission is 40% of the selling price.

The remaining 60%, including raw materials and sales channels, are all handled by Taro Takeuchi.

"Why hasn't Uncle Taro come yet? I still have to report to Teacher Yuto."

Wuxin put away the dagger, looked at the wall clock, and felt a little moved.

In the past six months, Wuxin followed Murakami Yuto and successfully completed two B-level missions. Since graduating from the Genin, he has handled a total of four B-level missions.

The time cycle of a B-level task is usually one to three months. Wu Xin's efficiency of completing four B-level tasks in half a year is not fast, but it is definitely not slow.

When Wuxin was considering whether to close the door and retreat, Taro Takeuchi finally appeared.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I'm late."

Taro Takeuchi had a smile on his face, as if something good had happened.

Wuxin saw Takeuchi Taro's smile and guessed something, but he was worried about Murayama Yuto's call for assembly, so he stood up in a hurry and said:

"Uncle Taro, you're finally here!

The jonin instructor summoned me to assemble, so I'm leaving now!

The accounts are all on the table, you can look at them yourself. If there is anything unclear, I will check the accounts after I am done. "

While Wuxin was talking, he supported himself on the cash register with one hand and flipped out easily.

"Hey, wait! Wait! Wuxin, aren't you curious why I'm late? I sold another banana leaf fan!

Hahahahaha, the profit from this sales is enough to earn those kunai and shuriken for several months!"

Taro Takeuchi had a big smile on his face as he told Wuxin the good news.

"Congratulations! See you later!"

When Takeuchi Taro shouted "wait", Wuxin stopped for a moment. After listening to Takeuchi Taro's words, he replied, disappeared, and after a few jumps, he left the street.

The smile on Taro Takeuchi's face froze, and as he looked at Wuxin's figure walking away, he shook his head slightly.

"This child is really..."

Wuxin's figure took a shortcut on the roof and quickly shuttled back and forth, rushing to the assembly point.

In the evening, the sky in the Hidden Mist Village darkened quickly. After about twenty minutes, Wu Xin arrived at the Higashino Hot Spring Hotel in the east of the Hidden Mist Village. It was already completely dark and the street lights were on.

Wuxin walked slowly into the hot spring hall and met his jonin teacher, Murayama Yuto, on the sofa in the living room.

"Teacher Yuto."

Murayama Yuto, wearing a bathrobe, glanced at the clock on the living room wall, a helpless look appeared on his face and he said:

"You are quite punctual."

"The teacher taught well."

Wuxin smiled and flattered. Influenced by Murayama Yuto, Wuxin was also good at calculating the assembly time. He would never come a minute early, nor a minute late. He would always arrive at the time he said.

"Put on your bathrobe and we'll talk in the men's hot spring."

Murayama Yuto stood up, greeted, and walked towards the door curtain with the words "Men's Bath" written on it.

Influenced by Yuto Murayama, Wuxin also started to like the activity of taking a hot spring bath and went to the dressing room to change his clothes quickly.

Compared with other hot spring hotels, Dongye Hot Spring is divided into many small compartments, unlike other large bathing pools where everyone soaks in one pool.

In the small cubicle, Yuto Murayama was soaking in the hot spring with his head tilted back with a towel on his forehead. Next to him was a wine tray with a wine jug and wine glasses.

Next to him were Wuxin's other two teammates, Mai Kizuna and Shui Lian. They followed suit, tilting their heads back and applying towels to their bodies. The three of them, teacher and student, looked the same.

"Teacher Yuto, are we going on a mission?"

Wuxin asked softly after stepping into the small hot spring pool, then imitated Murayama Yuto and leaned his head back against the edge of the hot spring.

There are many streams and rivers in the Land of Water, and the Hidden Mist Village is filled with fog all year round, with thick water vapor and heavy humidity. In such an environment, drinking and hot springs are favorite activities of the Hidden Mist Ninjas.

"No, this time I summoned you not for a mission."

Murakami Yuto replied softly, took off the towel, then picked up the wine jug beside him, poured out a glass of sake, drank it all in one gulp, made a sound of drinking very happily, and then said:

"Wuxin, it's been about half a year since you graduated, right?

The village will hold the Chunin Exam next month, and I have recommended you to participate."

Shui Lian, who was standing by, heard the words, straightened herself, took off the towel, wiped her cheeks, and said in a trembling voice:

"The...Chūnin Exam?"

"Well, good! The Chunin Exams are finally here again. I can't wait!"

When Mai Kizuna heard the news, she took off her towel and straightened her body.

Shui Lian looked at Murayama Yuto with a serious expression, then looked at Wuxin, and finally looked at Gui Deng Mai, and said with a serious expression:

"I luckily survived the last Chunin Exam. Thinking of Kimoto's miserable condition during that exam, I..."

“Muben died in the exam simply because he was not skilled enough!

The Chunin Exam is not like the Genin Graduation Exam, where you have to decide life and death. The Chunin Exam does not encourage killing, and Kimoto's death was just an accident!"

Murayama Yuto interrupted Shuilian's words, his face somewhat serious, and continued:

"Every ninja is a valuable fighting force of the village. After being trained in the ninja school, the Genin are already useful.

The village's Chunin Exam is just to select the best among these Genin to serve as Chunin captains.

And in principle, exams do not encourage killing. If someone can die in such an exam, it is only because they are not proficient in ninjutsu. Such a person will die in the mission sooner or later!

You three are all my students, Yuto Murayama. I hope you can become Chunin as soon as possible! This is not only about my reputation, but also about your future!

Do you want to be a ninja for the rest of your life?"

Wuxin had never participated in the Chunin Exam, but Murayama Yuto's words gave him some interesting information, and he thought:

"The Chunin Exams do not encourage killing? Is this the attitude that the Hidden Mist Village should have?"
