After two days of travel, Shin and his team finally arrived in the Land of Whirlpools.
"This is the Land of Whirlpools?"
Mikoto looked around in surprise. There was no one in sight, only dilapidated buildings.
"It is. Looks a bit run-down, doesn't it?"
Shin surveyed the surroundings. "It wasn't always like this. It used to be a beautiful country. But after the Uzumaki Clan was destroyed, the Land of Whirlpools ceased to exist."
The people of the Land of Whirlpools had abandoned the island nation after the Uzumaki Clan's downfall.
"It's so big. How are we supposed to find that missing-nin?" Kushina asked.
The Land of Whirlpools wasn't huge, but it wasn't small either. Finding someone here would be difficult.
"Don't worry, I have the Mind's Eye of Kagura," Shin reminded her.
Finding an ordinary person might be challenging, but finding a Shinobi was easy.
He could sense Chakra within a radius of several dozen kilometers. As long as the missing-nin had Chakra, he couldn't escape Shin's detection.
After some searching, Shin finally sensed a Chakra signature. But its location was unexpected.
"Did you find him?" Kushina asked impatiently.
"Yeah, but he's at our old house."
Kushina was surprised, and Mikoto looked curious. Their old house?
"Let's go."
Shin led Kushina and Mikoto towards their former home.
"Is this where you used to live?" Mikoto asked Kushina.
"Yeah, this was our house. I can't believe someone's squatting here now." Kushina was indignant.
Even though they had abandoned it, it was still their home.
"Hey, you squatter! Get out here!" Kushina yelled.
Kawada Heiwa, the missing-nin, emerged from the house. He wore a Konoha forehead protector with a scratch across it, signifying his status as a missing-nin.
Shin didn't understand why missing-nin still wore their old forehead protectors. Was it to show which village they had betrayed?
"Who are you?"
Heiwa frowned at them. He had been here for a while and hadn't seen anyone else.
"You're Kawada Heiwa, the Konoha missing-nin, right? We're here to take you down."
Heiwa burst out laughing.
"Is Konoha that desperate? Sending three brats after me?" he scoffed.
"Don't underestimate us! Shin, you stay back. I'll take him!" Kushina declared.
Shin nodded.
He wasn't planning on interfering anyway. This mission was mainly for Kushina and Mikoto's benefit.
"Kushina, Mikoto, he's all yours," Shin said.
"I can handle him myself!"
Kushina used the Adamantine Sealing Chains. Several Chakra chains erupted from her back, whipping towards Heiwa.
Heiwa's eyes widened, and he leaped back, narrowly dodging the attack.
"You're not getting away that easily!"
The chains, under Kushina's control, pursued him relentlessly.
Mikoto activated her Sharingan. She could see Heiwa's movements clearly. She swiftly threw several Shuriken, blocking his escape routes.
Heiwa's face paled.
If he dodged the chains, he would be hit by the Shuriken. And he didn't have time to use the Substitution Jutsu.
Mikoto had seized the perfect opportunity. Even Shin was impressed.
"Nice teamwork, Mikoto and Kushina," he praised.
"Damn it! Two little girls, cornering me like this..."
A Shuriken was embedded in Heiwa's arm, blood dripping to the ground.
He had chosen to block the Shuriken with his arm to avoid the Chakra Chains.
"Kushina, keep attacking! Don't let him use any Jutsu!"
Mikoto instructed.
Jutsu required hand seals. If he couldn't form hand seals, he couldn't use Jutsu.
Kushina nodded and disrupted his attempts to weave hand seals with her chains.
"The intel was wrong. This guy is stronger than an elite Chunin. His speed is comparable to a Jōnin's."
Shin observed Heiwa's movements.
If he were just an elite Chunin, he wouldn't be able to dodge Kushina's Adamantine Sealing Chains so easily.
"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!"
Mikoto seized the opportunity and unleashed a stream of fire towards Heiwa.
The Dragon Flame Jutsu was only a C-rank, but it could still kill. The human body was fragile.
The flames could pierce a tree; burning through flesh was no problem.
Kushina's chains closed in from all sides, leaving Heiwa with no escape.
"You think you can kill me with just this? Water Style: Water Trumpet!"
Trapped, Heiwa used a Water Jutsu to counter Mikoto's flames.
But the moment he did, Kushina's chains bound him tightly.
It was a fatal blow. He had avoided being burned, but he couldn't escape the chains.
As a Ninjutsu specialist, he didn't have the strength to break free. The Adamantine Sealing Chains could even restrain Tailed Beasts.
"I never thought I'd be defeated by two little girls," Heiwa said, his voice filled with regret.
"There's a lot you haven't thought of. You underestimated us. Still think we're weak?" Kushina sneered.
"If you kill me, you'll only get a measly reward. Why not let me go? I'll give you all my Jutsu and money."
Heiwa tried to bargain.
"Do you think Jutsu can be measured with money?"
Kushina and Mikoto looked at Shin. The decision was his.
"Kill him," Shin said coldly.
What Jutsu could this guy possibly have that would interest him?
Mikoto threw a Kunai, ending Heiwa's life. Their mission was complete.
But Shin wasn't planning on returning to Konoha yet. He had come all this way; he wasn't going to rush back.
