Chapter 26: Promotion (1)

Chapter 26: Promotion (1)

Three weeks had passed eventually and Kai had taken three appointments with Orochimaru. The man didn't teach him anything new or even talked about the missions which he was asked to do. Instead, Orochimaru first revealed the brunt of his disappointment that Kai would take Jiraiya's advice and then just stashed away the topic before amusedly asking his thoughts on a few case studies.

The case studies were more about shinobi who spiraled out of control due to their young age and high talent but the man didn't make this about Kai and instead questioned what the victims of their own ego could have done otherwise. Their chat would last 2 hours each appointment and while Orochimaru wasn't looking for some world-shattering philosophy, he certainly enjoyed the boy's sincere company and the thought that he could communicate with Cinnamon... which happened to be quite the adorable name in Orochimaru's eyes, gave him a new inspiration to follow.

And finally, after getting Orochimaru's approval, the team was ready for their promotional mission. Only... This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Tsunade, Mikoto, Kushina, and Kai looked at their temporary teammate and instantly recalled her as the weird inquisitive girl who tripped for no reason.

Nono Yakushi, the genin from the genin corps is said to have a mission rate slightly lower than Team Tsunade and she is of similar age to Mikoto being 12-years-old and was also a certified medic-nin apprentice with the mystical palm technique mastered to a certain degree.

"Please take care of me," the girl bowed slightly and her glasses fell down the next instant. The remaining four blinked in surprise and Tsunade inquired, "Genin Nono, why don't you wear lenses?"

Picking her glasses up, she looked up and blinked innocently, "It helps me look cute and thus lower the defenses of the male opponents while the pointed end of it can be used to stan the female ones."

But as they left the village, the trio tried to know more about her. After all, Tsunade is just an observer this time around since it is the four of them who wish to become chunins and a team of 4 chunins should be able to tackle a B-rank mission. Besides, temporary addition to the team is nothing new as these kinds of things happen all the time.

"So? You graduated the year before us, huh," Mikoto smiled, "I never thought that someone from genin corps could be so great at missions."

"It is understandable," Nono smiled, "But you will notice that bandits or merchants often drop their guard around a lone girl. Most of them are sick that way and I, too, just keep my headband aside so they don't know I'm a kunoichi before finishing them off. Those I cannot fight directly have to tackle my genjutsu."

"Oh?" Kai grew interested, "What kind of genjutsu?" He was only expecting a brief description but Nono was clearly quirky.

"Well, those that I cannot defeat are usually stronger and physically reactive so I based my genjutsu on the sensation of touch. It's registered to the Archives under the name of Last Harlot... as the name suggests, the genjutsu creates an elusive trap that makes my target, men or women, more susceptible to lust, and then they do unspeakable things to my illusion..." Nono's cheeks tinged with slight pink as she added softly, "While I watch..."

Tsunade almost groaned out loud but she had to admit that Nono's talent in genjutsu was great to have been able to create a C-rank Jutsu. After all, any genjutsu that focuses on one particular sense was at least C-ranked.

Kushina and Mikoto glared at the perverted girl with a hint of caution and realized how dangerous she was... in certain ways while Kai looked even more curious, "What kind of things did you see?"

"I saw one man whip out his"

"We're not talking about that!" Mikoto glared at the two that left no room for discussions and snorted mutedly, "We should focus on our mission instead."

Right, the mission. Kai smiled. D-rank missions gave him 2 SP. C-rank had 5 SP of earning. And B-rank provided 14 SP. In that case, a B-ranked Jutsu must cost 140 SP and would need 14 SP to level it up.

[B-rank Quest: A Chainbreaker

Summary: The root of the sudden inflation of slave trading has been identified and you must destroy it.

Reward: A New Title, A New Skill Tree, A C-rank Genjutsu Skill

Failure: Prevention of Promotion]

B-rank missions usually mean that aside from civilians, they will have to fight against enemy shinobi, too, and for that, they had to be alert.

"Damn it! Where is that bimbo bitch?! She ran away after losing all that money! Fuck!"

Five children, one blonde, one brunette, one redhead, one raven-haired, and one dark-haired boy walked out of the village with bamboo bags on their shoulders as various men of the village roared profanities and rushed around. The village was in momentary chaos as these men seemed to unofficially own the village and broke through the houses to find the woman of their description.

The five children soon left the outskirts of the village and the blonde-haired little girl scowled, "Damn it! I thought that my luck had changed... sigh." She shook her head as multiple poofs of white smoke covered the five and soon, Team Tsunade and Nono Yakushi reverted to their true selves.

"Sensei, did we really have to stop at every gambling den along the way?" Mikoto groaned.

"Of course!" Tsunade smiled, "Gambling is too good to be passed upon. Well, we're already at our destination so you guys can complete the objective. These three days gave you enough time to form a bit of cooperation with each other, right?"

Kushina only huffed as Nono nodded, "It did. I'm still amazed at Kushina-san's chakra reserve."

"Complimenting will get you nowhere!" Kushina pointed and snorted but the unconscious smile on her face betrayed her in a moment.

"Let's get things done," Kai smiled, "I'm looking forward to the Jutsu we will receive as a reward."

"That and things Jiraiya-san taught you is all you think about!" Mikoto grunted in annoyance as Kai smiled, "Well, those are the only interesting things around me..."

That may not have been the brightest thing to say as the only boy on the team as everyone except Nono glared and she nodded, "Indeed, Kai-kun is correct. Did you know that females"

"Alright, shove it," Mikoto rolled her eyes and stopped Nono to speak whatever Devil's info she'd wanted to and took a deep breath, "Since everyone agreed with me leading, let's go. We'll follow the plan as discussed last night."

And with that, the four flickered away while Tsunade smiled and shook her head as her presence started becoming more and more converged. 'Now... let's see what this Nono has gotten herself into,' the woman looked sideways. It was becoming increasingly clear that Nono wasn't aware of her own situation. Tsunade was confident in her knowledge of the human body and Nono didn't show any signs of deceit once Tsunade probed again about any superior of hers which meant that she wasn't aware she was being used as a beacon and she could have been marked only in one location before the mission.

Konoha.

Already aware that her clan was being targeted, Tsunade did not like the thought that someone had the guts to try anything sneaky with her. She thought that her reputation cowed many already. After all, Senju Clan was flourishing at the moment!

With the civilians having nothing to do in the clan and tending to their houses while enjoying their paid vacation made sure that the clan saw a steep rise in pregnancy rate and next year, the clan will have more than expected births. After all... Senjus are a passionate and vigorous bunch... which made her sigh a little.

She'd been royally fucked and not in the kind she would have wanted. Just these few months of serious management of the clan made sure that Tsunade would never want anything from it. She liked researching iryo ninjutsu way better than this!

Still, here she was... beating up healthy men for trying their chance with her and then lamenting the fact that nobody would man up to try his chance with her...

'Nawaki... grow up soon or your sis will really die a pure maiden...'
