Civilian Naruto: Becoming invincible from the Eight Gates

Nojiri Oki and Suzumiya Musashi did not agree to Uchiha Izumi's request and asked Ebisu to take on a high-level mission.

Are you kidding? How nice it would be to be able to stay in the village? What good is there in the outside world?

Scratch the cat and fix the house.

The remaining time can be used for practice.

What a happy pace of life.

However, a high-level mission came to them.

"C-rank mission?"

In the Hokage's office, Uchiha Izumi's eyes brightened.

"That's right, a C-level mission. For you who have just graduated, it is undoubtedly a challenging mission." Sarutobi Hiruzen said to them.

Uchiha Izumi asked: "What is the mission? Lurking or assassination?"

"Ahem... It's peacetime now, so you guys are not needed for assassination missions or anything like that."

Sarutobi Hiruzen flipped through the mission manual in his hand: "It's a transport mission."

"The team stationed near the border between Grass Country and Iwagakure is short of some special supplies and needs you to deliver them."

"In the past, these missions were carried out by special ninja teams, but Konoha's new generation needs to see the outside world and grow quickly."

"Since this is a peaceful time, I am sending you on this mission."

Suzumiya Musashi said thank you in his heart.

"Is our team the only one starting the C-level mission?" Uchiha Izumi looked excited.

"Not really." Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "There are two more missions like this. The village will send out the outstanding graduate teams to carry out the missions."

Hearing that he was not the first, Uchiha Izumi felt slightly disappointed.

But soon, she started to get excited again. This C-rank mission was the first step for Uchiha Izumi to make her voice heard in the ninja world!

The people who received the task began to make preparations.

Prepare dry food, ninja tools, detonating tags, etc. Since it is not a sudden mission, you can also say goodbye to your family.

Upon learning that Suzumiya Musashi was going to leave the village on a mission, Ayame could not hide her worry.

The hand reminded her that this was inevitable for ninjas, but she still couldn't help but worry. Suzumiya Musashi hugged her and comforted her with kind words, and she finally calmed down.

Early the next morning.

Several people gathered at the village entrance, each carrying a large bag of mission supplies, and Ebisu only had a simple ninja tool bag.

That’s right, Ebisu doesn’t have to be responsible for any specific tasks, and he can also take away most of the task rewards.

The leading jonin is responsible for leading and guiding the team, and protecting the safety of the genin in case of unexpected situations.

Ebisu waved his hand and said, "Team Six, let's go!"

Along the way, Uchiha Izumi was in high spirits, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings from time to time.

It didn't look like he was on guard against the enemy, but more like he was expecting the enemy to bump into him without any eyes.

However, for several days, the few people did not encounter any emergencies.

After all, their route is not exactly the same as that of ordinary people. Even if they occasionally meet outsiders, they will not come to provoke them when they see the ninja forehead protectors on them.

As they got further and further away from Konoha Village, the towns and villages they encountered along the way gradually began to fall into disrepair.

The situation is not so bad in larger villages and towns, but in smaller ones, the difficult living conditions of the residents are visible to the naked eye.

"Teacher, why is this place different from the village?" Uchiha Izumi asked after looking around.

"Why is it different?"

"It seems... poorer. People don't have fresh clothes, and the market is not prosperous."

"Hahaha, of course! The Land of Fire is the richest country in the ninja world, and our Konoha Village is the most prosperous and peaceful hidden village. The villages outside naturally cannot compare to it." Ebisu said proudly.

"Isn't it a time of peace now? Why are people still living like this?" Uchiha Izumi asked.

Nojiri Ooki said, "It's because it's peacetime that you can see so many people. If it were a war, these villages might not even have people."

He recalled the day when he first met Suzumiya Musashi.

That experience was unforgettable for him.

He complained: "So, it's so good to be in the village, but you are the only one who keeps yelling about taking on high-level missions."

Uchiha Izumi: "You really haven't made any progress! Staying in the village all day, when will you grow into a powerful ninja?"

Nojiri Oki: "What's the point of becoming a powerful ninja? Besides, are you sure you can become a powerful ninja? You might die after taking two steps."

Suzumiya Musashi: "Shut your crow mouth!"

Ebisu said: "Oki, you are young ninjas, the hope of Konoha's future, you must stay energetic! Under my guidance, Ebisu, you will surely grow into powerful ninjas."

The team continued to move forward, gradually approaching the border of the Fire Nation.

Along the way, the villages we passed by became increasingly desolate.

Suzumiya Musashi knew that this was the true face of the ninja world.

Even after Naruto graduated, when the ninja world had been generally peaceful for many years, the situation was not much better.

From time to time, battles broke out in villages, and the only popular villages we passed by were casinos and hot springs. We also encountered robbers from time to time.

The ninja world is like this: it is easy to die in wartime, and it is not easy to survive in peacetime.

If you cannot survive, reflect on whether you have practiced seriously.

As they got closer to the border camp, the few of them stopped talking and focused on getting on with their journey.

Several people kept walking through the dense forest.

Suzumiya Musashi in front suddenly stopped!

Seeing this, Nojiri Oki, who was at the back, immediately steadied himself and looked around.

He didn't notice anything unusual, but he had full trust in Suzumiya Musashi.

歘~

Uchiha Izumi waved his hand and shot a kunai at a tree crown.

A crisp collision sound was heard, and a figure flashed on the tree that was originally empty.

"Really? Were we discovered by the little ghost? I had no intention of showing up." The figure chuckled, as if being discovered was not a big deal.

Uchiha Izumi did not attack rashly. He opened his eyes wide and sensed carefully, and soon shot another shuriken in another direction.

"Dang!~"

Sparks flew, and another figure appeared.

"Two people. Watch the forehead. They are from Iwagakure. Have they crossed the line?" Uchiha Izumi said softly. After confirming that there were no other enemies, she subconsciously looked at Ebisu who had been following her.

The latter smiled slightly: "Don't look at me, you are the captain now, you are responsible for formulating strategies. I am just a combat force, I am not responsible for coming up with solutions for you."

Hearing this, Uchiha Izumi felt a little relieved in his heart.

Since the teacher let her make the decision, it means that the situation is not beyond her control.

After thinking for a moment, she stretched out her hand and gestured to several people to clean up.

The next moment, Suzumiya Musashi suddenly shot a shuriken at one of them, and then flew forward.

On the other side, Ebisu also nodded slightly and rushed towards another opponent.

The battle begins instantly!

The shuriken flashed quickly in the air, and the Iwagakure ninja chuckled and was about to reach out to block it.

Suddenly his face changed!

There are sparks flashing on the shuriken, it's an explosive talisman!

"boom!"

The figure retreated instantly, and the next moment, Suzumiya Musashi rushed out from the flames!

One of the characteristics of Taijutsu compared to Ninjutsu is that it can be activated quickly, so in battle, continuous attacks make it difficult for the opponent to perform Ninjutsu, which is a common fighting method.

Without giving the opponent time to react, Suzumiya Musashi, holding a kunai, quickly approached in three or two steps, and then swung his hand to attack.

“Dangdangdang!!!!!~”

Sparks continued to splash, and under the cover of the combat suit, subtle lightning chakra wrapped around the limbs, performing basic activation of the body.

This was his first battle after becoming a ninja. Even if he didn't want to reveal his strength, he didn't dare to be careless and took it seriously.

After the fight, he began to quickly judge his opponent's strength.

Average physical fitness and average physical skills.

Judging from his reaction speed to the enemy, he can't be considered an expert.

The kunai took advantage of the opponent's defense and cut several wounds, causing blood to ooze out.

Not a stand-in.

He kicked out, and the opponent tried hard to resist.

[Look at the posture, it's not a kick, it's a kick! His hands are forming seals, he's going to retreat and release a ninjutsu! ]

His brain quickly judged the opponent's intentions, and Suzumiya Musashi quickly removed the strength from his feet. Then he turned around and grabbed one of the opponent's feet, and pierced it hard into the ground!

"Bang!~"

The sudden change in the offensive force interrupted the opponent's seals. While he hurriedly protected his body, he still broke several branches and fell to the ground in a mess.

I felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment a sound of breaking air was heard.

"Ninjutsu: Four-sided Shuriken!"

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Battles between ninjas may change rapidly, but established tactics can still have a certain effect.

Before taking action, Uchiha Izumi had already designed several simple tactics, including how to deal with enemies of different strengths and numbers, and had basic rehearsals for whether to fight or retreat.

For example, now, three people are fighting against one enemy.

Since Suzumiya Musashi's physical skills are far beyond what he showed in the ninja school, he is tasked with the task of exploratory attack.

His physical skills have a fast attack speed and high damage, which can quickly test the enemy's strength and prepare for the subsequent battle. Of course, if the enemy is too weak, it is also possible to take it away in one wave.

Uchiha Izumi is the brain of the team, processing on-site information and taking on the main attack mission. After Suzumiya Musashi's tentative attack, he launches a powerful ninjutsu against the enemy.

As for Nojiri Oki, he is still the last one in the list. Before the new ninjutsu can be used, his main task is to protect himself.

The secondary task is to cooperate with Uchiha Izumi to block the opponent's retreat route when he attacks, and to respond temporarily.

The two men's fire escape and shuriken quickly attacked the enemy ninja. At the critical moment, the opponent's face became ferocious and he quickly formed seals with his fingers.

"Earth Style: Earth Shell Technique!"

The mud flowed quickly, forming a semicircular shield above the ninja's head.

He narrowly fended off the attacks of both men.

"His strength is that of a Chunin!" Uchiha Izumi made a judgment based on the other party's reaction.

He was able to block Fire Style and Shuriken because the physical impact of these two attacks was small, and the opponent's Earth Style was not that strong.

Suzumiya Musashi took out a shuriken from his ninja tool bag and stared at the earth escape shield.

When the chakra that maintained the earth escape dissipated, he swung it out with force, instantly covering the earth escape. The powerful shuriken hit the figure that had just jumped out, and smashed the earth escape shield into a piece of broken soil.

"Oh!"

"It's a clone! The other party used a clone under the shield!" Uchiha Izumi said, searching around carefully.

The opponent is a ninja who can escape or attack from underground.

Now that the battle has begun, of course we have to find a way to keep the opponent.

[Given the opponent's strength, his earth escape shouldn't be able to go very far! ]

[It would be great if I could open the Sharingan. It would be much easier to see through the opponent.] Uchiha Izumi thought to himself.

Suddenly, her eyes fixed. "Da Mu, under your feet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soil beneath Nojiri Oki exploded!

The ninja shot out at high speed, holding a clay spear, and pierced Nojiri Oki's body fiercely.

"Bang!" There was a dull sound, and then the body turned into a wooden stake.

According to Izumi's tactics, when he can't find the enemy's trace, Nojiri Oki must ensure that he is not ambushed.

Although he has no tactical value, everyone would be very sad if he died, so be prepared.

Nojiri Oki really listened to it.

The attack missed and the ninja's face showed anger.

There were several wounds and traces of burns on his body; he had not completely avoided the attack just now.

"Damn it! How come the kids from Konoha are so powerful?" After cursing, he turned around and prepared to escape.

The kid is much stronger than he thought, and there is another person among his teammates whose strength is unknown, so his team has no chance of winning.

"Are you thinking of running away now?" Uchiha Izumi said coldly, waving his hands and shooting kunai one after another.

The ninja dodged quickly, but the kunai kept colliding in the air and finally fell around him.

Thin streaks of light flashed.

The ninja's face changed drastically, but before he could say anything, Uchiha Izumi pulled hard with both hands, and the iron wires tightened instantly!

The iron wire tightened around his flesh, and the ninja let out a scream. The next moment, a broken branch was waving in the hands of the green-clothed imp, and it quickly enlarged in his eyes.

boom!

Wood splinters flew everywhere, and the enemy instantly fell silent.

After confirming that the enemy had been dealt with, the three breathed a sigh of relief and began to look for Ebisu.

"Well done! You three." Ebisu walked out from behind the tree trunk, holding a corpse in one hand and gently adjusting his sunglasses with the other.

It seemed as if he had been waiting for the three-way fight to end.

"You three newly graduated Genin are capable of dealing with the enemy's Chunin. I believe that Lord Hokage will praise you when he finds out. You are worthy of being the team I lead." Ebisu praised nonchalantly.

However, the careful Uchiha Izumi and Suzumiya Musashi had already noticed that Ebisu was struggling to calm his rapid breathing, and had minor injuries on his body that had not yet been treated.

Even though he had just arrived, he pretended to have finished it ahead of time.

[What a strong-willed teacher!] They thought to themselves.
