****************
Colt was happy, he had heard of this artifact before.
[Kaminari: The sword of the legendary Thunder God. It is extremely sharp and has various special abilities.]
[Ability 1: As the legendary Thunder God's weapon, your lightning-based ninjutsu power is greatly enhanced!]
[Ability 2: The size is adjustable. After the Host awakens the Susanoo, the Kaminari will also transform into a matching oversized weapon.]
(Editor/N: I renamed this, it was just Thunder god sword, actually even worse, it was named as Budu Yusoul, but I didn't find any relevant sword for that, or maybe I didn't search deep enough, so I gave it this name, though it doesn't share the same look or abilities as the one in Naruto)
As soon as he thought about it, a long sword appeared in Colt's hand, with an ornately decorated scabbard.
"Shhing!"
Colt drew the Kaminari, a standard Japanese katana style, with no distinction between it and other swords.
However, that doesn't matter anymore.
The sword body reflected a faint cold light, and with a casual wave, the coffee table in front of him was cleanly sliced like cutting through tofu.
The sharpness made Colt a little shocked.
Next, he infused some Lightning Chakra.
Immediately, the whole sword was covered in crackling electricity, looking very fearsome.
After some experimentation, Colt was very satisfied with the Kaminari.
Especially after he'll be able to use the Susanoo, his construct will also have a suitable grand weapon to wield.
Itachi's Susanoo looks so fancy, he can't be too far behind.
The only pity was that Colt did not deliberately study any sword styles, nor did he pay much attention when reading sealing techniques.
He'll ask the Third Hokage for guidance tomorrow.
With a plan in mind, Colt put away the Kaminari and continued studying the Flying Thunder God Technique.
It wasn't until later that night that he stretched, ate some food, and then went to sleep.
...
Early the next morning, Colt went out.
"Congrats!"
"I'm happy for you, Colt-kun"
Neighbors rejoiced when they saw the Leaf Ninja forehead protector on his arm.
Everyone had watched Colt grow up, and they were very fond of this sensible child since his youth.
Colt responded with a smile, and his handsome face made many girls blush.
Coming to the Hokage building, the Third Hokage and another old man were waiting there early.
Colt raised his eyes slightly, and he recognized this man from watching the anime.
Kosuke Maruboshi.
"Colt, come here."
The Third greeted him with a smile, "This is Kosuke Maruboshi, he will form a temporary team with you to complete a few missions."
"After all, those D-rank missions are of no use to you."
Colt nodded politely, "Hello, Maruboshi-senpai."
Kosuke Maruboshi nodded with a smile, his first impression of Colt was very good.
The Third had said his piece, and it was Colt's turn.
"I want to learn some swordsmanship for a while, old gramps will provide me with some scrolls."
The Third was stunned for a moment, looking at the gorgeous long sword on Colt's waist.
"That's really a coincidence. Kosuke was once instructed by the Second in both ninjutsu and kenjutsu. You can ask him if you don't understand anything."
Only then did Colt remember that in the original story, Kosuke Maruboshi did have a combination of Genjutsu and sword skills.
It was apparently called the Maruboshi Style.
Kosuke also agreed, "No problem, as long as Colt-san wants to learn, I will teach him."
"Then I will trouble you, Maruboshi-senpai."
After coming out of the Hokage's office, the two came to the mission hall.
"Senpai, which mission do you think we should take?"
Ask if you don't understand.
Although Colt had sufficient strength, his experience was definitely not as vast as this eternal Genin's.
Maruboshi Kosuke was still smiling, "Lord Third said that you are not lacking in power, but only in experience."
"The long-distance escort missions are time-consuming and laborious, so we won't take those."
Colt nodded in agreement.
Generally, those escort missions take at least five or six days round trip, which was really not worth it.
Maruboshi Kosuke continued analyzing, "The rest are assassination missions and intelligence gathering missions, it depends on your preferences."
Colt doesn't like spying or intel gathering, that kind of task was boring, tedious, and if it didn't go well, it even required a long period to remain hidden.
That leaves only the assassination mission type.
"Let's choose an assassination mission."
Kosuke nodded, not surprised by Colt's choice.
In the end, he selected a mission to eliminate some bandits, located in the Niu Head Mountains, a few hundred kilometers away from Konoha.
At their traveling speed, they only need to camp one night to get there and back.
After the mission was selected, the two split up to prepare.
Colt, who had nothing else to do, also went to check on Hinata and Ino's teams.
Similar to team seven, in order to cultivate teamwork, they all started from the most basic D-rank missions.
Seeing Colt's appearance, Ino excitedly put down the bag of rice she was carrying and ran over to complain to him.
"Colt, you won't believe the boring stuff they're having us do"
While Shikamaru and Chōji were forced to carry her abandoned workload too.
Colt looked at the two apologetically and created a Shadow Clone to help them.
"This will help you guys,"
"Thanks, Colt"
Then the main body took Ino aside to rest.
His girlfriend complained at length about the unreliability of Asuma and Shikamaru, feeling that her team was a disaster.
And, he also got an unexpected tidbit from Ino.
Currently, Asuma and Kurenai were not in a relationship, Asuma was just one of Kurenai's suitors.
And whether to accept him or not, Kurenai was still considering it.
This detail differed somewhat from the original storyline. (E/N: Lol, of course, they did)
After spending some time with Ino, Colt left.
He's also going to find Hinata's team.
Sure enough, Team 8's mission looked arduous.
Coincidentally, when he met Team Kurenai, they were chasing a loose cat.
Upon seeing Colt, Kiba called out excitedly.
"Colt, help us catch that cat!"
Hearing this, Colt stretched out his palm, "Wind Style: Gale Palm!"
A small harmless tornado emerged and pressed the running feline directly against a wall.
"Ha, finally caught it."
Kiba went over and scooped up the cat with some effort.
"Thanks, Colt, if you didn't step in, we would have been chasing it for a while longer."
Akamaru also expressed his gratitude with a bark.
Hinata trotted over to Colt's side with surprise in her eyes.
"C-Colt..."
"Hey there."
Smiling, he reached out and patted Hinata's head, Colt found that he really liked this action.
Whether it's for Hinata or Ino, their small heads always made him feel affectionate.
At this time, Kurenai Yuhi also appeared. As the Jonin instructor, although she wouldn't intervene easily, she would still follow behind her students.
Naturally, she also witnessed the scene of Colt using his wind ninjutsu.
'He has very precise chakra control.'
Not only did he avoid hurting the cat, but also restrained it steadily.
This was not something an ordinary ninja could do.
Inexplicably, Kurenai's impression of Colt deepened considerably.
Not only was he handsome, but also extremely skilled.
Capítulo 44: Chapter 44: Kill the evil to protect the innocent

****************
Colt was still a little excited about leaving the village.
After staying in the ninja world for so many years already, the farthest place Colt had gone to was the forests around Konoha.
Strictly speaking, it was still within the Fire Country's borders.
But this time, it was a true departure from the village.
Before leaving, Colt checked his ninja kit again.
Explosive tags, kunais, shurikens, and some ration pills.
Although with his physique, the chakra that soldier pills can help him recover was very small.
But it was also good to have it in critical moments.
When he came to the Konoha gate, Maruboshi Kosuke was already standing there with a gourd on his back.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Maruboshi-senpai."
Colt said apologetically, but Kosuke didn't mind and spoke, "I just got here too, but now that you're here, let's go."
"Okay."
After the two registered at the gate guard station, they left Konoha.
And this also allowed Colt to meet the legendary Konoha Gate Guards, Izumo and Kotetsu.
It was said that because of the existence of those two, even Nagato chose to go around to attack Konoha indirectly.
Along the way, their traveling speed was not fast, and Maruboshi Kosuke frequently recounted his mission experiences as they walked.
Since the Third's request was to let Colt gain experience as soon as possible, he naturally had to guide this younger kid in every way he could.
Colt listened very carefully.
The ninja world was vast, and there were no boundaries to the strange things out there.
He will not underestimate the world because of his own strength.
Perhaps when encountering familiar characters from his previous life, he could easily deal with them using foreknowledge.
But if he became arrogant because of this, he would suffer a great loss one day.
The distance to the Niu Head Mountains was not too far, and even without rushing at full speed, they reached their destination by nightfall.
According to the intel report, this was a vicious group of bandits, burning villages, killing innocents, looting and pillaging - doing all kinds of evil.
Countless innocent lives have perished at their hands.
The nearby villagers who could no longer bear it teamed up to gather enough reward money for this extermination mission and requested Konoha's assistance.
This was very common in the ninja world. After all, the backward feudal system represented the harsh inequality between the rich and poor.
Rich people can spend lavishly, while the impoverished cannot even afford a C-rank mission's fees.
Along the way, Colt also passed by many small towns and villages.
Compared to them, the villagers of Konoha were simply blessed.
Even poor families could support themselves through honest labor.
The slightly more wealthy can even hire ninjas to assist with tending to their respective needs.
With the cover of the dark night, the two easily made their way to the base of the Niu Head Mountains.
"The mission is to eliminate the bandits. They are all ordinary civilians. The only complication is that these bandits have many hostages in their custody."
"This mission is entirely up to you to lead, and I will follow your arrangements throughout."
Maruboshi Kosuke took out the mission scroll and said to Colt.
At the same time, Colt's system released the first mission prompt ever.
[Mission: This world is diseased and requires your healing touch. The first step lies with the bandits before you.]
[Kill the evil to protect the innocent, eliminating these transgressors is not murder! Please kill all the bandits and rescue all the captive villagers.]
[Mission Reward: 200 Points]
200 points, a hefty sum, which was a windfall gain.
This mission was not only to expose Colt to bloodshed and familiarize him with the feeling of killing, but also to test his heart.
If he disregards the hostages' lives in order to complete the mission expeditiously, it also means that Colt was not truly qualified to become a Hokage.
Konoha does not need a leader who would readily sacrifice subordinates at his whim.
Hearing this, Colt also understood the underlying intent.
"I understand, in this case, I can handle it alone. I will ask Maruboshi-Senpai to retrieve the hostages while I create a distraction."
"No problem," Maruboshi Kosuke responded.
The two moved swiftly, with Kosuke locating where the hostages were being held, guarded by over a dozen bandits.
Colt directly drew the Kaminari and jumped out.
With Lightning Chakra enhancing his body, crackling electricity coated the blade.
Those guard bandits were cut down like melons before they barely even raised an alarm.
And they were only able to attempt sounding an alarm because Colt deliberately allowed it.
Only in this way could all the other bandits be drawn in to be eliminated in one strike.
Because the Kaminari was incredibly sharp, and Colt could not utilize any refined sword techniques yet.
He only knows how to rely on overwhelming physical power to hack and slash.
Many were directly bisected into multiple pieces, red viscera flying everywhere in a grisly scene.
Facing this carnage, Colt didn't feel the legendary urge to vomit, but goosebumps crawled up his body.
His mind entered a wondrous state.
The three-tomoe Sharingan manifested automatically.
And the other bandits who heard the commotion also rushed over. Seeing the death of so many comrades, the bloodlust in their bodies was thoroughly ignited.
"Kill him! He's alone!"
"What ninja, it's not like we haven't killed them before!"
A bandit who seemed to be the leader roared, and the surrounding ones rushed forward, but he retreated stealthily.
They had killed ninjas before but also paid with over ten lives that time.
This time, he won't foolishly charge in recklessly.
Colt was keenly aware of his movements. Under the Sharingan's crimson glare, these bandits seemed frozen, unable to move.
A handful of kunai were thrown out and pierced the leader's throat under his terrified gaze. Soon, it was also his troops.
After dealing with them all, Colt calmly raised the Kaminari and beheaded these bandits one by one.
He had just noticed that most of the hostages were young girls.
The looks of dazed trauma in their eyes hinted at the unspeakable sufferings they had endured.
Because of this, Colt didn't feel any burden in killing these depraved men, but rather his blood was enflamed with anger.
Every time a bandit fell, his pupils power increased by a tiny amount.
When the head of the last bandit rolled, the three tomoe finally linked together, forming a wondrous kaleidoscopic pattern.
At the same time, the system chimed.
[Congratulations to the Host for completing the mission and earning 200 Points!]
Maruboshi Kosuke could only see Colt's back at this moment.
"Colt-san, are you alright?"
Kosuke asked worriedly, as many people will change temperament after killing too indiscriminately.
He worried that Colt might be the same.
Kosuke could clearly see the merciless methods employed just now.
Hearing this, Colt quickly reigned in his chakra, the Mangekyo Sharingan disappearing as his eyes returned to normal.
He turned his head and smiled, "Of course I'm alright, I just think these bandits got off too easily with such quick deaths."
Looking at Colt who seemed completely unaffected, Maruboshi Kosuke was a little dazed.
This person's demeanor shifted too rapidly.
