Naruto: Scourge of the Ninja World

Gekko Chizan had only infiltrated Sunagakure a few hours ago.

Yamanaka Heichi was already fully prepared, just waiting for Gekko Chizan to return and bring him into Sunagakure.

The two were supposed to gather intelligence together.

The rest of the team was in charge of guard duty.

But they all knew very well that Gekko Chizan, who had just infiltrated the village, couldn't possibly return so soon.

After all, just a few short hours wasn't enough time for him to even get a grasp of Sunagakure's terrain.

At that moment, Hatake Sakumo stood gazing into the direction of Sunagakure from afar. For some reason, he had a nagging feeling that something was about to happen. He couldn't calm down.

Suddenly, a presence surged up behind him.

He instinctively drew his blade and slashed backward.

"Damn! Don't cut! It's me!"

Hearing that familiar voice, the blade he was just about to swing came to a hard stop.

"Chizan?"

"You're back already?"

"And who's that in your arms???"

Hatake Sakumo's eyes widened as he looked at Gekko Chizan behind him.

The key point: this brat was carrying someone in his arms—and it was a woman???

What the hell was going on?

"Sakumo-sama, your reflexes are insane. If I'd called out half a second later, would my head be rolling on the ground right now?"

"Damn!"

Having just strolled by death's door, Gekko Chizan was furious.

He'd clearly warned this guy, and yet the man still swung his blade at him.

"Hehehe, sorry, reflexes."

Hatake Sakumo awkwardly sheathed his blade, then wiped the smile off his face and looked at him seriously.

"Chizan, what happened?"

"Why are you back so soon?"

"And who's that in your arms?"

The sudden commotion had awakened the rest of the squad, and they quickly gathered around.

All eyes were fixed on the person in Gekko Chizan's arms.

"Hey hey hey, what's with those looks?"

"She's a kunoichi from Sunagakure!"

Gekko Chizan was visibly irritated by the way everyone was looking at him—even Hatake Sakumo and Yamanaka Heichi had those weird expressions.

He brought her back for the mission, damn it.

Then he began recounting what had happened.

...

At the same time.

Sunagakure was on full alert.

Elite jōnin Kemaki was the first to arrive at the Kazekage's office.

"Kazekage-sama, what's happened?"

Although arrogant, Kemaki was absolutely loyal to the Kazekage.

He was also the first to show up.

"Kemaki, Pakura's likely been taken."

"Someone from another village infiltrated ours and used some unknown method to instantly extract Pakura from the village."

"Take a squad and pursue them immediately, in the direction of Konohagakure!"

The Third Kazekage's expression was grim. Based on his analysis just now, he was sure Konoha had sent someone.

With a major war on the horizon, they were clearly here to investigate Sunagakure's troop distribution.

And it was obvious they knew how powerful and important Pakura was—hence why they chose to abduct her.

"Pakura?"

"Hmph, I knew that woman would mess something up."

"I'll take a team and chase them down right now!"

Kemaki sneered with contempt, but still set off to pursue without hesitation.

As he watched Kemaki leave, the Third Kazekage's face remained severe.

This situation was far too strange.

He knew Pakura's strength well—she was absolutely elite jōnin level.

To abduct her without raising an alarm… who could pull that off...?

Suddenly, a face flashed in his mind.

His expression darkened.

"Someone! Go get Elder Chiyo for me!"

...

After listening to Gekko Chizan's account,

Everyone—including Hatake Sakumo—was utterly dumbfounded.

Who gathers intel at a hot spring?

No—wait, someone actually does. One of the Legendary Sannin: Jiraiya...

But who the hell kidnaps an elite jōnin for intel?!

And if what Gekko Chizan said was true, the woman he brought back was one of the few bloodline limit users in Sunagakure...

"You're sure she's an elite jōnin from Sunagakure?"

"You didn't just fall for her looks and go rogue, did you?"

Tsuchi had a very strange expression.

He didn't know Gekko Chizan well, but based on the current situation, he felt the guy looked like a total perv...

"Bullshit! You think I'm that kind of guy?"

"Heichi, you tell 'em. Would I ever abandon the mission just because of some beauty?"

Gekko Chizan didn't claim to be a good guy. One of the reasons he grabbed Pakura was her looks.

But while he could admit he was a bit of a perv—he wasn't about to let others say it out loud!

"You are..."

Gekko Chizan froze. The way he looked at Yamanaka Heichi was pure malice.

"Alright, Chizan. Just tell me, are you serious?"

Hatake Sakumo cut off the crowd's wild speculation.

Gekko Chizan nodded earnestly.

"Heichi, verify it."

As a member of the Yamanaka clan, perception and probing were their specialties.

"Alright."

"Chizan, adjust her position a bit."

"I need to use the Mind Reading Technique."

Gekko Chizan sat Pakura upright so she faced Yamanaka Heichi directly.

Yamanaka Heichi placed his right hand on Pakura's forehead.

As the sensory Ninjutsu activated, Yamanaka Heichi closed his eyes.

He began reading Pakura's memories.

"Pakura, you'll lead the surprise assault unit."

"Pakura-sama! Your Scorch Release is incredible!"

"Pakura-sama! I love you—please marry me..."

A surge of memories rushed forward.

Soon, Yamanaka Heichi opened his eyes and gave a nod.

"Chizan wasn't lying. This woman is an elite jōnin from Sunagakure. She has the Scorch Release bloodline limit."

"Most importantly, the Third Kazekage personally appointed her as the commander of their raid squad."

Everyone was visibly surprised at his words.

They hadn't expected Gekko Chizan to actually be telling the truth.

Holy hell, if this was real, then this guy's mission execution speed was insane.

Even Hatake Sakumo was impressed now.

From the time Gekko Chizan left for Sunagakure to his return, it had only been a few hours.

Not only had he identified a prime target—he actually brought her back.

The method was questionable, sure.

After all, drugging a woman unconscious and dragging her away didn't sound great no matter how you spun it.

"Hmph!"

"You people! Not only are you superficial, you even tried to slander me!"

"Just you wait—I'm going straight to report you all to the Third Hokage!"

With Yamanaka Heichi's confirmation, Gekko Chizan puffed up, glaring at his teammates with righteous indignation.

"Hahaha, not bad, Chizan. Picking you for this mission was the smartest decision I've made."

"In that case, bring this woman back to Konoha with us."

Hatake Sakumo laughed and immediately issued the return order.

Just then, Yamanaka Heichi sharply turned his gaze toward Sunagakure, his expression suddenly deadly serious.

He had just opened his mouth when a voice rang out from the distance—loud and menacing.

"Hmph! I knew it—you Konoha rats!"

"Think you can just stroll out of the Land of Wind like nothing happened?"

"Leave Pakura behind!"
