Naruto World: Acquiring the Dung Fruit and Joining the Second War - Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Chiba Moves, So Is Third Kazekage

Chiba considered himself a good person. He would remember those who treated him well and those who bullied him.

The Sand Shinobi had poisoned the livestock on his farm, so he thought it wouldn’t be excessive to drown the Sand Shinobi’s frontline troops. They had also tried to murder his friends, so he decided to eliminate a few high-ranking Sand Shinobi. Was that acceptable?

With his mind made up, Chiba fell asleep. He had a vivid dream in which he imitated the Planetary Devastation. Early the next morning, Chiba woke up.

“Hey, your lunch.”

As he opened his eyes, Jingmei stood in the room, holding out a boxed lunch. Chiba started eating the rice, while Jingmei quietly watched.

“Don’t just stand there, sit down.”

“Stop sitting, my butt hurts.”

Shizuka had a peculiar aversion to chairs.

“Oops.”

Chiba realized his mistake and felt a little embarrassed. After finishing their meal, the two of them took a stroll in the yard.

“It’s a shame you don’t have any walls around your yard, but you still lock the gate.”

Looking at the ground-level wall, Shizuka found it amusing.

“All the walls are gone, yet you’re worried someone might steal your gate.”

“Well, it’s more convenient this way.”

Chiba couldn’t find a better explanation and forgot to mention the real reason.

“Then I’ll go to the farm. Our family is cultivating insects, so I need to help.”

“Sure!”

Watching Shizuka leave, Chiba also prepared to depart. He was determined to teach the Sand Shinobi a lesson they would never forget.

As he contemplated, Chiba wondered why the Sand Shinobi had targeted him. The answer was that he had been too kind.

The kinder he was, the bolder his enemies became. If he didn’t fight back, who would endure their daily poisoning and attacks on his friends?

“To prevent this from happening again, I am compelled to fight back.”

With a strong sense of justice in his heart, Chiba set off on his path.

Thump!

As soon as he stepped onto the street, a figure stood in front of him—it was Danzo.

“Chiba, don’t do anything foolish.”

It seemed that Danzo knew Chiba planned to leave the village and solemnly warned him.

Chiba was surprised.

Even Shizuka wasn’t aware that he was leaving, so how could Danzo guess it?

“Master Danzo, what are you talking about?”

“I’m saying, don’t leave the village. I promise you’ll be safe within the village,” Danzo made a pledge.

Chiba: “Master Danzo, you misunderstood. Can I leave now?”

Danzo was stunned.

“No, you are the village’s hope. You can’t leave.”

“Why can’t I?”

“Well, I can send the Orochimaru team to protect you, but…”

Whoosh!

Before Danzo could finish speaking, Chiba vanished instantly. Letting the Orochimaru team protect him? He might as well face a block of tofu head-on. As soon as Chiba fled, he could already see the village entrance.

Boom!

Suddenly, a cloud of smoke appeared at the entrance, and Danzo arrived.

The guard Shizukana shrunk his neck, hiding in the duty room, afraid to show his face. Chiba was speechless. If he had known that Danzo would try to stop him, he would have used Transformation from the start and left the village earlier.

“Chiba, don’t act impulsively~”

Danzo earnestly tried to persuade him.

In Danzo’s eyes, Chiba was a money-making machine. How could such a valuable asset go to the front lines?

Thump! Thump!

Chiba took a step forward, meeting Danzo’s gaze.

“Master Danzo, do you have any friends?”

“Of course I do.”

“Then if your friend is hurt, what would you do?”

“I…”

At that moment, Danzo couldn’t find an answer.

He recalled the Second Hokage and how he had faltered back then.

Whoosh!

Chiba left.

This time, Danzo didn’t intervene.

…

In the Land of Wind

The Third Kazekage wore a blue Kazekage robe and soared through the air with sand and iron wings. Behind him, hundreds of Sand Shinobi marched toward the front lines with great momentum.

“This time, we will break through the Land of Fire’s border in one fell swoop. As long as we seize their border positions, the flames of war will spread into the Land of Fire. Whether the war is halted or not, the initiative will be in my hands…”

As Chiba moved forward, the Third Kazekage already had numerous strategies in mind.
