บท 6: Chapter 6
A new month began.
After contemplating leaving the village, Yoichi spent an additional two days familiarizing himself with the Lightning Style Chakra Mode. Then, he decided to see if the Superpower Roulette could refresh a powerful ability before his departure.
[Sneeze Transformation]: After sneezing, randomly make a person possess an animal within a ten-kilometer radius. The person who becomes the animal will hear your thoughts. Sneezing again will end the possession for the other person.
What kind of bizarre ability was this? And what did it have to do with him?
Yoichi pondered for a moment and confirmed that this was almost a prank ability unrelated to him. So, he closed the Superpower Roulette and stopped paying attention to it.
In the past year, he had drawn too many strange abilities. Yoichi had gone from expecting the Superpower Roulette to change his fate and achieve the Six Paths, to just checking it routinely.
Today, this ability was obviously for pranks. It was random, and Yoichi couldn't control it. Moreover, if he remembered correctly, he had already sneezed when he woke up in the morning.
After breakfast, Yoichi packed his ninja tools and armed himself before heading to the Hokage's office.
There were still some savings at home. Taking missions was Yoichi's way of wanting to leave the village. He was not a native Uchiha or a Leaf Shinobi, so he didn't feel much attachment here.
Moreover, despite the seemingly large size of Konoha, over sixty percent of it was inhabited by villagers and ninja clans. There were few places to visit, and staying here for a long time would suffocate him.
Arriving at the Hokage's office, Yoichi went directly to the mission desk.
Usually, the Third Hokage managed the distribution of missions. A and S-rank missions were personally assigned by the Third Hokage to the ninja. However, when the Hokage was busy, he wouldn't come to the mission desk.
"I want to take a mission, preferably a C-rank mission outside the village, like a solo mission to subdue bandits."
After speaking, Yoichi paused for a moment, then continued in a more serious tone, "It's C-rank, not fake C pretending to be A or pseudo-S. Don't mix in some enemy Jonin in the mission!"
The ninja at the mission desk recognized the ninja in front of them who had disbanded three mission teams within half a year and was known as the "cold-blooded teammate", prioritizing mission completion without caring about the lives of teammates.
"Understood."
Although the people at the mission desk were not very happy, there was indeed a mistake in the last mission. Besides, the other party was an Uchiha, and his expression wasn't very friendly, so the people at the mission desk didn't argue.
"There aren't many C-rank missions left to leave the village. There are only four. One is to escort a merchant group, which requires a team. There are also two long-term protection missions, also requiring ninja teams. The last one was just submitted by the client, a resident near the village. It is said that wild beasts trampled their fields and even broke into their houses."
The ninja at the mission desk explained that apart from skirmishes, there were hardly any missions suitable for solo individuals.
Especially for escort and protection missions, in the eyes of employers, the more ninjas, the better. They couldn't distinguish which ninja was stronger.
"Only the last one, clearing out the wild beasts, is available for you. The rest are D-rank missions, with no restrictions for Chunin. There are also some B-rank missions, but you can only take some assassination types."
Yoichi was somewhat surprised after hearing this. "I can take B-rank missions?"
Although Chunin could take B-rank missions, they were usually assigned to Chunin teams. Solo missions had a higher failure rate. If there were several failures recorded, it would damage Konoha's reputation.
"Others can't, but you, Yoichi-san, can."
After hearing the words of the mission desk, Yoichi suddenly realized that this was probably arranged internally and informed to the higher-ups.
"Help me see if there are any suitable B-rank missions."

Yoichi took on a C-rank mission to clear out wild beasts and a B-rank mission to eliminate a black-market organization supported by a ninja. The former was reported to the village just today when Yoichi arrived at the Hokage's office, so he probably just missed the client.
According to the investigation feedback, it was said to be a wild boar that ran out from the Forest of Death, trampling fields and crashing into a village near Konoha.
At that time, the village head was frightened and hurried to Konoha, hoping to hire ninjas to kill the beast.
The wild beasts that emerged from the Forest of Death were likely to have chakra in their bodies, but even if they did, they were still beasts without intelligence and didn't pose a threat to ninjas.
Yoichi took on this mission incidentally. Slaughtering a wild beast would earn him fifty thousand Ryo, without the need to split it with other team members. Thinking about it, it wasn't bad to do it alone.
At the gate of Konoha, Yoichi met the client who had commissioned the mission and walked with him towards the village.
The attacked village was not far from Konoha, only ten minutes away.
While on the way, Yoichi learned about the situation from the village head.
The village was attacked by a wild boar, but the tusks of that wild boar were as big as elephants, and its body was like a small hill. The village head was frightened at that time, but according to his memory, it was conservatively estimated to have a body length of four to five meters.
This size was not small even in the Forest of Death. However, in the irregular natural environment of ninja, it was considered normal. There were even bamboo trees over ten meters thick in the Land of Grass.
Tracking wild beasts was simple; unlike ninjas, they couldn't hide their tracks. The footprints they left behind when they left were clearly visible.
After observing for a while, Yoichi prepared to take action to find the beast. "Village head, wait here for news."
With that, a Body Flicker Technique, and Yoichi disappeared from the village head's sight. The Lightning Style Chakra Mode required daily stimulation with Lightning Style Chakra to stimulate and train the body, so the Body Flicker had become his frequently used technique.

"I've turned into a wild boar!?"
Waking up from a nap, Tsunade was shocked and almost lost her bearings.
She had been drinking at home last night, and today, after waking up, she found herself in a forest on the outskirts!
Moreover, her body had changed. Her vision was completely different from usual, and when she tried to speak, she made grunting noises. She couldn't even wave her hand.
As a top medical ninja, Tsunade's understanding of the human body was unparalleled in the ninja world. She quickly realized that she was no longer in a human body.
Her body was huge, her limbs were short, covered in stinking mud, and she was very hungry.
"Oink oink oink!!"
"Damn bastard, who played such a joke on me, I'll kill you when I recover!!"
After realizing that she had turned into a wild beast, Tsunade roared angrily, but her words turned into a series of grunts like a wild boar.
Finally, she reached the riverbank and discovered that she had indeed turned into a wild boar, and this place seemed to be the Forest of Death.
If it were normal times, Tsunade could leave the Forest of Death in just ten minutes. But now, in a wild boar's body, she could barely muster any chakra, couldn't climb trees or swim, and with her stomach growling, she could only move in one direction.
After breaking through the protective barrier of the Forest of Death and spending some time, Tsunade finally found a village near Konoha.
At this point, Tsunade also realized that she had gone the wrong way, but the hunger in her belly made it unbearable for her. So she broke into the village head's house and found a rice jar to eat some; eating raw food was already the limit for Tsunade. If she had to eat what wild boars usually ate, she would rather die.
After eating her fill, Tsunade retraced her steps towards Konoha. Her top priority now was to change back. In her memory, Jiraiya seemed to have used this kind of ninjutsu to turn someone into an animal before.
However, he turned people into toads, not wild boars. Tsunade wasn't very clear about it, but she didn't think it was something Jiraiya would do. If he dared to play such an outrageous joke on her, Tsunade would break him twelve more ribs.
"After going back, I'll find Jiraiya first. But it's troublesome to avoid villagers and ninjas now, and I can't speak."
As Tsunade was thinking about how to change back, her well-developed sense of danger, honed through countless battles, made her feel uneasy in an instant. So, with a kick of her hind legs, she leaped forward suddenly.
Just as Tsunade jumped out, six shurikens attacked from several directions, whooshing and piercing into the ground.
Seeing this scene from afar, Yoichi's eyes widened slightly. His shuriken throwing technique was so bad? Even a wild boar could dodge it?
