C Rank Missions

The way home was smooth, even though I tested my chances, I didn't expect that I would achieve anything today.

My last class with Kushina didn't happen because Naruto was out of the village on a mission and this would continue until the end of the month.

With plenty of time to complete my missions, I mentally prepared myself for what was to come.

Desensitizing death is normal after so long, but at the same time I couldn't let it affect how people perceived me.

I needed to think about being able to enter and exit this state gradually and not just turn it on and off, which makes people uncomfortable.

Guy ended up making me think about how I should act, despite being annoying, Guy was a good person. I may have thought he was too soft for the job, but when I stopped to reflect I understood that his separation of right and wrong even in a society like this was commendable.

Guy's personality was something I didn't want to emulate in any way, but his ideals were something I was admiring.

Despite being a little schizophrenic, my way of thinking evolved until I reached the conclusion of what my way of dealing with this world should be.

I just hoped it wouldn't change me too much when I returned home.

This has happened before and I must say that some of my wives ended up going on strike because of my new way of acting, especially in the incarnations when I was more tyrannical.

Which I doubt will happen in this one.

I meditated at night and the Chakra within me continued to nourish my body.

Rank D missions were just time-consuming. But at the same time they helped me adapt to my new body.

It might seem like I handled the Sound Shinobi without much effort, but my body was overwhelmed by the use of my senses and movements that I wasn't used to.

Today I would deal with them in the same way but suffering less.

Due to my soul I needed fewer hours of sleep than others, but due to all the accumulated tiredness from the mission and the session with Ayame I needed hours of sleep.

Meditating all night, my Chakra stabilized around 3 thousand points.

I would need to sleep probably once this week if things weren't too heavy.

I prepared my equipment, a few dozen Explosive Seals made by me and half a dozen kunais as a form of delivery. Shurikens are more efficient than kunais as a throwing weapon but I consider them useless in the same way, the kunais in my bag are only used to shoot Explosive Seals from a distance.

Missing my spear even more this morning I walked to the Hokage's office to pick up my missions.

Apparently preparing for something, the three missions were to exterminate bandits near the edge of the Land of Wind.

Sunagakure would probably take this route for the Chunin exams and the old man wanted to give the impression that the Land of Fire was safer than it really was.

I left Vila da Folha shortly afterwards towards my objective.

Without the same rush as the delivery mission, I took my time to reach the first area.

With a little investigation and interrogating locals I found the location of the first group of bandits.

Twenty-seven idiots who didn't even know how to circulate Chakra lived in a cave inside a forest. I had to admit that they were bigger than a civilian and their few weapons served as a glove to intimidate ordinary people.

Positioning myself near the entrance, I waited for them to enter the vicious cycle of yawning until I took action.

The moment they both yawned together, I appeared between them, punching their chins with each hand.

The calculated force was enough to make their skulls rotate at the base of their spines and break the connection between them.

The sound of something breaking on both sides made my spine chill a little, the memory that an ordinary body can be so fragile made me think about everything that could happen to my wives who were ordinary people before they met me.

Quickly recovering, I ran into the cave.

I could just throw a dozen Explosive Tags and put an end to it, but I also wanted the money they kept inside the cave. I needed a new house and any money I can get is good enough for me.

The four bandits I encountered along the way suffered the same fate, leaving a trail of bodies along the way to the most open area of the cave. With twenty-one criminals still waiting to receive the same treatment.

When the first of the twenty-one fell to a palm that liquefied his brain inside his skull, the other bandits went on alert.

A bow was put into use, but I simply dodged the arrow with a side step.

The outlaws ran towards me with knives and clubs.

The first attack came from one of them holding tight to a club, holding the weapon with ease, I pulled him towards me and threw a knee into his forehead. Normally it's a tactic to break the opponent's nose, but I didn't want to waste time so I hit him in the forehead to fracture it and the pieces of skull cover the brain.

With the club free from the enemy's hand, I began to strike in all directions.

Each impact was accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.

Arms, legs and finally skulls.

Maybe in this life I have a preference for causing brain damage to my enemies, something I will need to reflect on.

One of the two knife users tried to stab me in the ribs while I was distracted, but I parried the blow before he could do any damage. With the handle of the club in my hands I dealt a short blow to the wretch's head and he fell with a heavy sound.

When it was all over I was breathing heavily.

As easy as it is to handle an average person being a Genin, their number still gave me trouble.

I collected the money and other valuable equipment they had in my backpack and left for my next target.
