Chapter 6: Hey You—Let Go of That Girl
Morning—still the same familiar park…
Li Jie Xuan let out a deep sigh. The space-time kunai danced nimbly between his five fingers. However, he really wasn't in the mood to train his kunai throwing right now.
The survival mission to make money had been hanging in his head for three full days already. Yet in those three days, he hadn't earned even a single coin…
The Naruto world was completely different from his previous life. Most people here made a living through skills. Buy-low-sell-high trading was only profitable for traveling merchants who crossed several countries. Not to mention that the entire ninja world was currently in a state of war—full of taboos no one dared to touch.
"Sigh…"
Li Jie Xuan let out a long breath. "Who would've thought that I, a transmigrator, wouldn't be able to find even a single business opportunity. How embarrassing…"
But the boast had already been made. If he couldn't earn money, he'd be too ashamed to keep mooching off the medicinal baths of Might Guy and his son. And without medicinal baths, there was no way to train taijutsu. Just as Li Jie Xuan was sighing in frustration, a commotion between children suddenly came from outside the park…
"Don't—don't come any closer!"
A boy covered in bruises stumbled into the park. On his high-collared short kimono was embroidered the red-and-white fan emblem of the Uchiha clan.
"The Uchiha clan?"
Li Jie Xuan cautiously hid behind a tree, his mind immediately turning things over.
This was the twelfth year of Konoha. At this time, the Uchiha clan's status was still extremely prestigious. Who would dare beat up a child of the Uchiha clan like this?
Just then, a cute little girl with yellow-brown hair chased in after him. But completely at odds with her adorable appearance, her cute little face was filled with a devilish grin. Clenching her pink little fists, she laughed sinisterly. "Little dried fish, daring to talk trash about people behind their backs? Then you'd better be prepared to pay the price!"
"Waaah—"
Uchiha Daiyu clutched the swollen bump on his head and cried his eyes out, whining miserably, "It wasn't even me who called you a freakishly strong girl! It was my cousin!"
"I know—but…"
The cute little girl grinned wickedly, slowly raising her fist, then smashing it down hard on Uchiha Daiyu's head. "You just called me that now, didn't you?"
Entrapment—this was blatant entrapment!
"Tsunade, don't go too far! Our Uchiha clan isn't afraid of your Senju clan!" Uchiha Daiyu stiffened his neck and brought up his family name—this was the backbone of the Uchiha clan's confidence…
Who would have thought that no one cared in the slightest about his Uchiha identity. The moment Tsunade heard that name, she beat him even harder.
As for Li Jie Xuan hiding behind the tree, he had completely ignored the Uchiha clan by now. He was so shocked by the little girl's identity that he was momentarily speechless.
"Tsunade!"
This cute little girl was actually Tsunade!
In Naruto, the wildly popular Fifth Hokage—Tsunade-hime. The princess of the Senju clan, the beautiful woman Jiraiya had secretly loved his entire life without ever laying a single finger on!
The instant Li Jie Xuan confirmed Tsunade's identity, a line of text suddenly appeared in his mind:
Beginner Mission: Defeat Tsunade.
Mission content: The child tyrant Tsunade runs rampant. As a righteous ninja, you must defeat Tsunade and rescue the oppressed children from their nightmare.
Mission reward: Genin-level basic chakra.
Mission time limit: Five minutes.
The moment he saw this, Li Jie Xuan couldn't help getting excited. Training taijutsu with Might Guy was great, but chakra was, in the end, the foundation of this world!
But defeat Tsunade…
This was Tsunade-hime—the future one of the Legendary Three Ninjas of Konoha, the freakishly strong woman!
If it were Tsunade from twenty years later, Li Jie Xuan would definitely abandon this mission without hesitation.
But right now?
Li Jie Xuan couldn't help grinning. It would be difficult—but it wasn't entirely without a chance.
"Hey you—let go of that girl!"
