"Don't go, Yahiko!" Konan broke free from Kaze's arms and said sincerely.
Yahiko was overjoyed. Even if the whole world abandoned him, as long as Konan...
"Don't go, Yahiko. Run!" Konan said seriously.
Yahiko: "..."
"Nagato, they're all bullying me!" He buried his head in Nagato's arms and began to seek comfort.
Nagato coaxed Yahiko helplessly, his face full of indulgence.
Kakashi snickered on the side. Watching the lively group, his mood also lightened up.
Although at the beginning, he was a bit worried that the master was not reliable.
But now, he had completely integrated into Team Six and was really enjoying the team atmosphere.
"This kind of life is really nice," Kakashi thought from the bottom of his heart.
He had a caring dad, a teacher who is funny and crazy, and lively and reliable colleagues.
Everything was wonderful. He hoped that these peaceful and happy days would last forever.
But unfortunately, beautiful things are destined not to last long.
"Okay, stop fooling around and get into battle - ready state quickly!" Kaze reminded.
"Yes!" The four kids replied in unison.
The rest of the journey was very peaceful, without any more disturbances. The group successfully arrived at Base 214.
They confirmed their identities and handed over the intelligence. Thus, this mission was completed.
"Wow!"
"The first mission right after our debut is a B - rank mission. Are we the top team in Konoha now?"
On the way back to Konoha, Yahiko said smugly, apparently having forgotten about the previous incident.
"Alas, how has this kid become like this?"
Kaze sighed and looked a bit worried.
In the original plot, Yahiko was a deep - thinking young man with lofty aspirations, taking it as his responsibility to liberate the ninja world.
But now, due to his interference.
This kid seems to have first liberated his true nature and is going further and further on the path of being impulsive and unrestrained, just like a husky.
"Don't be complacent, Yahiko. Brother Kaze said that caution leads to a long - safe journey," Konan admonished.
"Everyone did a great job in this mission."
"Okay, go back and rest. You've worked hard on this mission. I'll give you a week off."
After leading the kids back to Konoha, Kaze gave a simple summary and then let them go their separate ways.
As for himself, he rushed non - stop to the Root prison.
"Yo, my young master, aren't you on a break? What brings you here?"
A guard came up and greeted Kaze with a smile.
"I have a need. Just coming to have a look. Do you have any good - quality goods from Kumogakure recently?"
Kaze patted the guard's butt and stuffed a banknote into her pocket by the way.
"Actually, there is," the guard said with a smile after thinking for a moment.
"A few days ago, Class monitor Yefeng sent a spy from Kumogakure. We just finished interrogating him and haven't had time to deal with him yet."
"If My young master needs him, you can just take him away. But his condition is a bit poor. I'm not sure..."
If someone's memory is forcibly read by the Yamanaka clan without cooperation, they may end up crazy or stupid at best, or even die directly at worst.
Presumably, that spy from Kumogakure has lost his mind, but it doesn't matter. As long as his heart is okay.
"Let me go and have a look first," Kaze said casually.
"Yes, please follow me," the guard replied respectfully and then led the way.
The dungeon of Root was dark and deep. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and the desperate aura of the prisoners.
After passing by several cells, the two stopped in front of a completely sealed cell.
"This is the place, My young master."
The guard took out the key and opened the door for Kaze.
"I'll keep watch outside for you. Just call me if you need anything."
Kaze shook his head. "No need. Just leave. I'll handle the rest myself later."
"I understand, My young master." The guard left tactfully and soon disappeared at the end of the dark corridor.
Only then did Kaze enter the cell and carefully examined the prisoner in front of him.
He was a big man in his forties, curled up in the corner with messy clothes, a dull look in his eyes, and saliva dripping from his mouth.
"Konoha... Konoha dogs... Heehee... Hahaha..."
After seeing Kaze come in, he started giggling, and his saliva drooled all over the place.
"System, show me his attributes," Kaze ordered.
[Killing power: 3 (26)
Speed: 5 (24)
Defense: 5 (19)
Chakra: 11 (21)
Chakra attributes: Yang, Lightning, Water, Earth]
"Not bad. This guy was previously a Tokubetsu Jonin renowned for his attacks, and he even has Lightning - attribute Chakra."
Kaze was quite satisfied with the big man and planned to use him for now. He could replace him with a better one later if he met someone.
Earth Grudge Fear!
Hiss, hiss...
Black lines emerged from Kaze's body, slowly climbed onto the big man's body, and crawled towards his chest.
"Hehe, hehe."
The big man was totally oblivious to the approaching danger. He still kept giggling and even blew a snot bubble.
Pfft!
The lines instantly pierced through the big man's chest, wrapped around his heart, and brought it into Kaze's hand.
"What an evil secret jutsu."
Kaze shook his head, activated Earth Grudge Fear again, and stuffed the big man's heart into his own body while it was still warm.
Thump, thump. Thump, thump.
The next moment, Kaze felt that there were two hearts beating in his body at the same time.
It was a very amazing feeling.
Double blood - pumping and double energy supply made him instantly feel a sharp increase in his strength.
"System, check my attributes!"
[The current attributes of the host are as follows.
]
[Killing power: 25
Speed: 31
Defense: 27
Chakra: 26]
Previously, after obtaining Hashirama cells, Kaze's three attributes, excluding speed, slowly increased to around 25 on average.
Now, with the blessing of The Second Heart, these three attributes have increased by another 1 - 2 points.
"Really increased!" Kaze's eyes lit up.
You know, the further you go, the more difficult it is to increase the attribute values.
This 1 - 2 points can leave several ninjas far behind like 1 - 2 points in the college entrance examination.
"Not only that, I've also obtained Lightning - attribute Chakra."
"From now on, I'll be a ninja with all attributes!"
"Haha, haha!"
The smile on Kaze's lips grew wider. He burst into laughter in the cell, making the prisoners in the nearby cells break out in cold sweat.
They wondered which Konoha pervert had come to interrogate the prisoners and enjoy torturing them.
Boom!
Kaze casually disposed of the big man's body and turned to walk out of the cell.
He needed to find a secluded place to adapt to The Second Heart until he fully mastered his newly - acquired abilities.
"By the way, where should I hide The Second Heart?"
After leaving the cell, Kaze fell into deep thought.
First, rule out vital parts, as these are the places the enemy is most likely to attack first.
Secondly, he hadn't come up with an idea yet.
But it must be unexpected. It'd be best to hide it in a place that the enemy couldn't think of even if they wracked their brains.
Only in this way can it have the effect of saving his life!
After thinking for a long time, Kaze came up with an excellent place.
"What about hiding it in my butt? No one would ever think of that!"
"Maybe I'll feel chest tight when I sit down usually?"
