Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

"Sorry."

"Although I don't know who killed the hospital nurse, it just so happens that it helped me out."

After the Iwagakure spy dealt with the Amegakure ninja guarding the ward, he quietly placed him on the ground and thought to himself.

The nurse, who had removed her mask, was now a slightly overweight, dark-skinned man in a Rain Shadow uniform, who opened the room door.

Inside was a single hospital room.

Yahiko was sleeping peacefully on one of the hospital beds.

"I apologize, Chief Yahiko."

"Your words are indeed astonishing, and you have certainly done a great deal to save the Land of Rain..."

The Iwagakure ninja looked at Yahiko, a kunai in his hand, and quietly approached the sickbed:

"But I'm sorry, I'm an undercover agent."

At a certain distance, the Iwagakure ninja accelerated forward, aiming his kunai at the back of Yahiko's neck, and then used a teleportation technique to speed up!

"goodbye!"

puff--

Shirahoshi grabbed the kunai in front of her with her left hand, which was wrapped in chakra: "I see."

"There are still spies. This is troublesome." Shirahoshi opened her eyes, and the slime layer slowly separated, revealing its original form: "I have already assigned eight spies to guard Hanzo's mansion, but I didn't expect there to be two who slipped through the net."

"What?!" The Iwagakure ninja was slightly startled. He tried to pull the kunai out of Shirahoshi's hand, but finding it unsuccessful, he quickly let go and jumped towards the window beside him...

boom!

The Iwagakure ninja was instantly smashed in, his head bleeding profusely.

Seeing this, Shirahoshi calmly said, "I forgot to tell you. There's a layer of slime glass there... You've passed out, haven't you? Unsuspecting ninjas are really weak."

If a layer of chakra had been used to strengthen the head, this Iwagakure ninja wouldn't have been injured and fainted so easily.

The masked man appeared inside the hospital room, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed: "Senior~ I took care of that ninja~~"

"Thank you for your hard work," Shirahoshi said. "Next, use your Sharingan to get information on these two people, and then you can kill them."

"Okay, senpai~~"

The masked man approached the Iwagakure ninja and used his right eye's Kamui to absorb the ninja's body.

At this moment, all the other medical staff on duty received a signal from the main body and could switch back to their original doctors and nurses.

At this moment, both the nurse who died in the warehouse and the guard who died at the ward door stood up.

The blood on the ground began to be absorbed by the two, and the wounds started to heal...

Everyone arrived at the ward door one after another and patted the guard's hand.

Even the nurse who had faked her death came over at the very end, saying, "Finally, it's time to go home."

"Who did I, a ward round nurse, offend?!"

Shirahoshi's clone, still on night watch: "..."

After a moment of silence, she grabbed the hand of Shirahoshi's clone, who had transformed into a nurse, and said, "Why don't you take the night watch? I suddenly don't want to come out anymore."

"?" Nurse Bai Xing slapped Guard Bai Xing's hand: "Dream on! This is the original body's explanation!"

Guardian Shirahoshi: Waaaaah—

In this way, the chakra consumed by the clones will not be wasted.

Early the next morning.

From this day forward, the rule of Hanzo's old era has come to a complete end in Amegakure and the Land of Rain.

All old forces that are reactionary to the new era have been eradicated.

Subsequently, the deployment of defenses in towns, streets, and villages began.

It is imperative to gain the trust of the residents of the Land of Rain in the new Amegakure, and to make them believe that Amegakure can improve their lives.

Protecting residents' property and personal safety is the most important thing.

......

"Failed?"

"We had planned everything perfectly, but it seems the other side has someone smarter."

Last night, when Danzo, a member of the Amegakure guerrillas, did not appear at the appointed time, Danzo decisively led his Root subordinates away, found a safe place to spend the night, and set off early this morning.

At this moment, the team was almost at the border of Fire Rain.

Danzo believed it was a real pity that news of Amegakure had been cut off so easily and the specific details of the situation had not been clarified.

His eyes flashed, and he looked at the four members to his side, saying:

"Mist, Wind, Flame, and Orange Cat, the four of you will form a team. Each of you will cooperate to guard the town ahead, gather intelligence on the current situation in the Land of Rain, and promptly transmit it to me."

"Yes!" x4

The four then stopped, and Danzo and the remaining twelve Root members left.

The four—Mist, Wind, Flame, and Orange Cat—exchanged glances and removed their masks.

Their identities were top secret, and no one could recognize their appearance.

"Orange cat, your name is Xia Zhi today. Yan, your name is..."

As the team leader, Wu assigned names and identities to the three of them.

The orange cat and Yan are relatively young, one male and one female, and they are good at pretending to be a homeless young couple.

In terms of appearance and age, fog and wind are more suitable for solo travel.

After the four people left, they went their separate ways.

The clone of Shirahoshi, who had been tracking him, witnessed everything and stood on the trunk of a large tree: "As expected of that old thief Danzo."

"Even if that's all, you still want to monitor the Land of Rain?"

"Then I'll accept it."

Anyway, we already have the intelligence. Now, these four elite ninjas from Root, combined with his recent human experiments on the Four-Tails Jinchuriki... it's simply fantastic!

......

The ancient country of Loulan.

Tower No. 13.

After cooperating with Yahiko's plan ended, only one guard clone, the masked man, and the clone that impersonated him to track Root remained; there were no other clones.

The struggle of the Rain Kingdom against the three kingdoms has only just begun, and Shirahoshi has no time to waste on their antics.

The entity itself is what it should do.

--Research.

Before her eyes, a slime glove appeared on one of Shirahoshi's hands—or perhaps it could be called Shirahoshi's chakra glove—and she used this chakra to press against Roshi's receding abdomen...

"Ahhh-"

After extracting a ball of red chakra, Shirahoshi went to the next room, closed the door, and looked at the other member who had become a test subject...

This is a two-room laboratory for human experimentation, designed to ensure individual privacy. Glass partitions and curtains separate the two rooms, and each experimenter has their own private bathroom...

Xia Xue, who captured the bounty hunter, was said to have been a Chunin from Kirigakure in his previous life, but is now a rogue ninja.

"Please, let me go."

Xia Xue was tied to a large experimental shelf, and was naturally naked for the experiment.

In response to Xia Xue's words, Bai Xing smiled and said:

"I'm sorry. Becoming a safe resident of Loulan without paying a price... is impossible."

"ROOM!"

"And... the Four Symbols Seal!"

After opening the ROOM space, observe the Four-Tails chakra from the ROOM's spatial perspective, then use a sealing technique to knead it...

It transformed into a controllable mass of tailed beast chakra, then applied a layer of Four Symbols Seal, and struck Xia Xue's stomach. "Go, Four-Tails."

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The pain caused by the chakra affecting the cells and meridians made Xia Xue scream in agony.

Beside him, Lao Zi, who was also experiencing the same intense pain, had a somewhat dazed look in his eyes.

He regretted it.

If only he had died fighting alongside those Iwa ninja back then, but now his heart is sealed by a technique that prevents him from committing suicide, leaving him no choice but to become Shirahoshi's experimental subject.

"not bad."

"It's been sealed four times. It seems your body is starting to adapt to the Four-Tails' chakra. Let these four chakras fuse together while you're at it..."

"Ahhhh-"

......

After finishing, Shirahoshi unlocked Xia Xue's handcuffs, leg shackles, and neck shackles, picked up Xia Xue whose hands were bound by chakra-restricting bracelets, and walked towards a high tower with a battle arena room that he had set up in the inner city of Loulan.

However, before that, a female guard outside the door was asked to clean Xia Xue in the laboratory, change her into combat clothes, and take her away.

......

Tower number 21, fourth floor.

The elevator doors slowly opened, revealing Xia Xue, Uchiha Hikaru, and Shirahoshi.

At this moment, a hint of surprise flickered in Xia Xue's eyes.

This man had said something before she came over.

If she defeats this girl who looks like just a teenager, she can make her a formal resident of the ancient Loulan Kingdom and release her, giving her freedom.

Now, the ancient Loulan Kingdom has too many people, so it has begun to adopt a real-name identity system.
