Homura Guesses, Chiba Blows Up The Street

Chapter 28: Homura Guesses, Chiba Blows Up The Street

As Chiba exited the yard, Mitokado Homura let out a sigh of relief. He had been apprehensive about Chiba's reaction, but it turned out that he was quite understanding. That was the impression Homura had.

Even though Homura had been thrown into the cesspit of shit earlier, it was not as significant as someone saving his son's life. Bringing his son inside the house, Homura began to inquire about the incident.

"I was overseeing the construction when there was an explosion in the forest..." Fujiki started explaining, and Homura listened attentively.

"I initially believed that the captain and the others would be able to handle the attack, but unexpectedly, the captain was gravely injured and fell right before me..."

"That Sand Shinobi is terrifying; he controls golden sand..." Upon hearing this, Mitokado Homura became fully convinced that the Sand Shinobi was Rōsa.

"And then what happened?"

"Then the captain was crushed by the sand..." Fujiki's tone seemed panicked, clearly haunted by the memory.

"Fortunately, Senior Chiba arrived at that moment. However, his cow went out of control, most likely attracted by the blood splattered on me."

"The cow went out of control? Danzo must have arranged it." Homura immediately blamed Danzo for the incident. First impressions mattered.

"I was knocked unconscious by the bull, and when I woke up, Senior Chiba was standing in front of me."

"Just Chiba? What about the Sand Shinobi?" Homura's expression displayed a hint of disbelief as he questioned his son. He couldn't fathom that Chiba could defeat Rōsha.

"The room was empty at that time, only Senior Chiba was present."

"Not even a dead body?"

"No, but there seemed to be an additional cesspit."

Upon hearing his son's account, Mitokado Homura pondered the situation. No corpses, just a cesspit? He couldn't bring himself to believe that Rōsa could be defeated solely by that.

"Something must have occurred while you were unconscious. Is it possible that other powerful individuals happened to pass by? Or maybe Chiba truly defeated Rōsa with a cesspit?"

Homura couldn't pinpoint the crucial point, but he was certain that everyone had underestimated Chiba.

"Hold on a moment!" 

Suddenly, Homura had an epiphany. He recalled being launched into the air by the excrement in the latrine the previous night, drenched in shit.

"If Rōsa was also covered in the paste, then it would explain..."

As this thought crossed his mind, Homura's expression stretched.

...

On the streets of Konoha, chaos ensued as Chiba made his appearance. The people on the street went into a frenzy.

A young couple who had been passionately kissing in a corner suddenly recoiled from each other upon catching a whiff of the stench as Chiba passed by.

A limping pedestrian, who had been walking slowly, immediately dashed faster than a rabbit upon sensing the odor.

Some individuals vomited on the spot while fleeing.

To exacerbate matters, when Chiba spotted someone eating with a bowl on the side of the street, he even knocked the bowl out of their hands while eating.

"I'm hungry too," Chiba remarked, feeling his hunger intensify as he observed others eating.

Wherever Chiba went, it turned into a disaster area.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Bang!

Crackling!

Pedestrians ran amok, residents shut their windows, and even the shops along the way closed their doors.

Everyone retreated.

In an instant, Chiba found himself surrounded by emptiness.

"No, I need to buy some barbecue quickly! What if the store is closed?" Hungry and growling, he rushed toward the entrance of a barbecue shop.

"Today's barbecue is incredibly delicious! Blech~~~"

"What's that smell? Why is it so repulsive? Ugh..."

"Was this cooked with feces? Ugh..."

"I can't bear it anymore! Blech~~"

The customers in the barbecue shop erupted, bending over the tables and retching.

"Boss, I'll have some barbecue!" Chiba's voice echoed from the entrance of the store.

As he spoke, a pungent odor wafted into the barbecue restaurant.

Now, the customers inside the shop were completely bewildered.

"Run, everyone! The dung king is here! Blech~~"

With that cry, the crowd in the store hastily rushed out, fearing they might be too slow.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

One ninja even employed the Body Flicker Technique to escape, leaving Chiba momentarily taken aback.

Within a few moments, the barbecue restaurant had emptied.

"Brother Chiba, as long as you never come to my shop again, I'll send you barbecue every day..." The shopkeeper, clutching a thick towel, emerged with a tone bordering on tearful.
