Chapter 2: Luck Is A Form Of Strength
The 20th, Anbu locker room.
Just finished Konoha Village daily patrol, everyone facing their own locker, unfastening their own Anbu vest.
Yoru’s breathing was a few degrees weaker than usual, afraid of being called out by the captain.
Can you imagine how terrifying it is to be called out by the captain?
It’s like you’ve been slacking off for a week, and the manager calls you out to present the scheme.
It’s like you just got home from a foot bath, and your wife calls you out to hand in your homework.
The captain still called out Yoru’s code name.
“Fox, go watch Tsuruzuki Izakaya tonight.”
Done for, it’s himself after all.
Yoru put the Anbu vest he had just taken off back on his body.
This vest wasn’t a normal ninja’s cloth armor, but gray iron armor, just like Kakashi’s outfit in Anbu in the original story.
The iron vest provided no sense of security at all.
After nightfall, Yoru hid in the woods at the street corner, staking out the izakaya in the distance.
In a certain instant, he slightly moved his eyeballs under the mask.
He had been very serious, even made predictions, but still didn’t know how the squad leader had appeared with Body Flicker.
Asked the captain for money, this time shamelessly asked for three stacks.
Don’t refuse if it’s free, I’m bleeding for Anbu, Anbu can’t mistreat me.
Entering Tsuruzuki Izakaya, Yoru still went straight to the corner.
“Bring me the most expensive sake!”
The female boss he had seen in his previous life, carrying the wine, smiling flirtatiously, leaned close to Yoru.
Her neckline was so low.
Yoru looked entranced.
So big, so beautiful, why doesn’t it jiggle, it’s ultimately lacking a bit of beauty.
Same procedure, his side ribs were squeezed by the female boss’s ample chest as they walked into the backyard side room.
The female boss closed the door.
“Ninja lord, do you like Yang Release or Yin Release?”
“I get this, I really get it. Sometimes I like Yang Release, sometimes Yin Release. If I’m tired, Yin Release, you come on top. If I’m still good, Yang Release, I come on top!”
“Hehehe, Ninja lord, you really understand.”
Yoru was flirting verbally, but deep down he was highly alert.
Moved!
Something moved!
There was something in the corner, drilling over from underground.
The ground showed no change, but Yoru also knew Earth Release: Fish in Water Reflection Jutsu, and sensed the arrival.
At the same time, the female boss also moved.
She pressed close, just like last time, her red lips so soft.
“I can’t wait anymore! Skip the kissing scene, come on, Yang Release first!”
Yoru suddenly exerted force, pinning the female boss to the ground, lunging toward the shadow’s direction.
He drew the hidden kunai from his lower back, fiercely stabbing between the female boss’s legs.
The female boss originally thought this Konoha ninja was very eager, but suddenly from behind Yoru’s shoulder, she saw the iron ring of the kunai.
Oh no!
Between her legs, it felt a bit cold.
As soon as she fell to the ground, just as she was about to exert force, she suddenly heard a muffled grunt from behind her back.
Even worse!
The kunai wasn’t assassinating her, it was stabbing toward the teammate underground!
Under the ground behind her back, the teammate was convulsing.
This Konoha ninja had precisely stabbed the spy teammate’s heart from between her legs.
A storm raged in her mind.
Hidden Stone Village had sacrificed many companions for her spy identity, the teammate who had accompanied her for years, the teacher who taught her, all died in Konoha Village.
To protect each other, she and this teammate under her had never met face-to-face, communicating with each other using code marks.
Teammate exposed, she absolutely could not be exposed.
The only chance to preserve the spy identity was to pretend she knew nothing.
Exposure meant death, discovery meant death.
If she fainted, Konoha might misjudge that she knew nothing, this was the only opportunity.
“Ouch!”
The female boss’s head heavily hit the ground.
Yoru clearly felt the female boss’s body go limp, fainting.
He touched the ground between the female boss’s legs, got a handful of blood, and Yoru decided to call the captain first.
Yoru left the side room, jumped onto the rooftop, signaled the captain with hand signs, then returned to the backyard room.
The door was open, seconds later, the captain also entered the side room.
The captain cautiously closed the door, immediately examining the scene: “Blood bubbling from the ground around the kunai, someone underground! Fox, did you kill him?”
“Captain, my chakra nature is Earth, I sensed someone underground, so I tried stabbing the kunai into the ground.”
The squad leader nodded, saying: “Very good, excellent.”
The squad leader raised his hand, and in the next second smashed open the ground, smashing out the person underground.
Covered in dirt, mixed with bloodstains.
After checking, the squad leader continued:
“Skilled in Earth Release, from the square face shape, looks like someone from the Land of Earth, suspected Stone Ninja spy.
Very good, Fox, you completed a B-rank mission.
Someone who just passed the Chunin Exam, completing a B-rank mission, your luck is good. Lord Sakumo Hatake said that luck is also a form of strength.”
He hadn’t expected his own captain to have dealt with Sakumo Hatake.
Kakashi said luck is a form of strength, seems like he heard it from his father Sakumo Hatake.
Yoru corrected: “Captain, my strength isn’t that bad, is it?”
“If not for over a thousand ninja dying on the Land of Hot Water battlefield, and the Chunin Exam being lenient during the Ninja War, you wouldn’t become chunin even in three more years.”
Seeing he couldn’t change the captain’s impression, Yoru turned to the female boss, indicating there was still one living person here.
“No problem, the female boss has fainted, can’t hear our conversation.” The squad leader said:
“First take this man away, extract intelligence from the man’s brain. Following the intelligence, maybe we can pull out a whole line.”
The captain hoisted the spy and left the house.
Yoru restored the ground, then moved the female boss to the bed.
Finally glanced at the female boss, some regret. Though it doesn’t jiggle or feel soft, it’s big, what a pity.
Retrieved his equipment from the street corner woods, and Yoru also returned to Anbu.
Yoru and the captain sent the corpse to the Intelligence Department.
A Yamanaka Clan ninja took away the corpse.
Yoru said: “Captain, can I rest for a few days? The patrols, staking out these days, and this spy mission have tired me out a bit.”
The captain originally wanted to refuse, but thought about Fox’s poor strength, the squad made no difference with or without him, and considering he just completed a spy mission, said:
“Can give you three days recovery time, stand by for notification anytime. The village is short on manpower right now, must return to the squad after three days.”
“Got it, thanks Captain.”
Yoru wanted to stall until the next full moon on the 15th, to have a resurrection opportunity.
These 25 days, drag out one day at a time.
