Chapter 0030: Delivering a Dress to the Big Shot
Intentional Avoidance of Ninjutsu Combat?
Jiraiya and Tsunade were momentarily taken aback, their faces reflecting astonishment.
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and asked in his raspy voice, "Do you remember? Two days ago, during the Jonin meeting, I casually mentioned this kid to Shinji. What was her reaction back then?"
At Orochimaru's prompt, Jiraiya and Tsunade recalled the meeting.
Shinji had proudly boasted, "My son, though not yet mature, shows some talent. I remember when he was seven, he could easily perform B-rank Fire Style techniques. It really surprised me at the time."
Being able to use B-rank ninjutsu at the age of seven was already impressive. However, what truly shocked Jiraiya and Tsunade was that despite such high-level ninjutsu talent, the boy had relied solely on taijutsu to subdue the Uchiha during their confrontation.
What does this indicate?
It meant that the opponent didn't even warrant the use of advanced ninjutsu! Or perhaps, Uchiha Danzan was merely a practice target for the boy to refine his taijutsu!
Unbelievable!
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, Jiraiya and Tsunade would never have believed such a preposterous scenario. An eight-year-old had managed to use a Special Jonin as a training dummy, and he did so with taijutsu and simple tactics!
This completely redefined the concept of "genius" for the three legendary ninjas. To them, the boy had become a prodigious talent of monstrous proportions!
In reality, they had misunderstood.
I had no intention of using others as practice targets. My taijutsu skills were hard-earned and didn't require further refinement.
The actual reason for concealing my abilities was much simpler: I preferred to remain low-key. Flashiness was not my style.
Unbeknownst to me, the three legendary ninjas witnessing today's events would make staying under the radar nearly impossible in the future.
The screams of Danzan gradually subsided, and the flames consuming him were extinguished. What remained was a charred figure, the once-proud genius now reduced to a blackened heap.
His clothes were burned to tatters, and his once-smooth long hair had become a scorched mess, resembling a badly styled wig.
What to do with him now?
I was a bit troubled. He was from the same village, so I couldn't just kill him.
But after turning him into this state, he would undoubtedly seek revenge once he recovered. I wasn't afraid for myself, but if he targeted my sister, that would be problematic.
Well, I had no choice but to stay vigilant in the future. If he dared to harm someone I cared about, I wouldn't hold back.
A cold glint appeared in my eyes. Just as I was about to turn away, a familiar annoying voice echoed in my mind.
[New options generated!]
[Host, choose one of the following options:]
[-> Option one: Take this opportunity to savor the fragrance of the charred meat. Burn him more and taste his meat.]
[-> Option two: Dress the big shot in women's clothing and hang him upside down on Hokage Rock.]
[-> Option three: Disassemble the boy's limbs and torso, wrap them as a gift, and send them to the Uchiha clan's elder.]
[Note: On failure, a specific part of your body will be cut into a thousand pieces.]
I didn't even take a look at the note as I was taken aback by the options. The system wanted to show no mercy at all.
The first and third options were out of the question. I wasn't into that sort of thing, and I wasn't a monster who would dismember someone and send their parts to their father.
So, the only choice left was the second. Conveniently, my ninja tool pouch had a set of "Balalala Magical Girl" costume, which could be put to good use.
"What's this kid doing?" The three legendary ninjas, having recovered from their initial shock, watched as I clumsily stripped Uchiha Danzan of his shirt and pants. Their expressions ranged from disbelief to astonishment.
"Is he… into that kind of thing?!" Jiraiya shivered and looked on with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Not everyone is a pervert like you, idiot!" Tsunade scolded, clearly displeased with her future disciple's actions.
Jiraiya smirked and said, "Well, your disciple isn't much better. I've heard he's been called the Legendary Gentleman… Pervert at school!"
"That's just childish nonsense!" Tsunade, clearly aware of that nickname, defensively argued, "Besides, I'll make sure to educate him properly. He won't turn into someone like you!"
"Let's not argue," Orochimaru interrupted the bickering. "It looks like the kid is pulling out something…"
"What's that? What is he—" Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru watched in shock as I pulled out a "Balalala Magical Girl" skirt and boots from my ninja tool pouch and quickly dressed him in them.
