Chapter 80: Mission

Sweat drenched his whole body, one hand holding the wall. Slowly, slowly, step by step, he moved his feet into the entryway.

I'm back!

Having exhausted the last bit of his strength, Yuzhibo Dongshilang entered the house; he did not rush to take off his shoes, but instead let out this ceremonious greeting in a weak, breathless voice.

He then sat on the step used for changing shoes in the entryway, naturally fell onto the floor, lay on his back with arms spread.

Allowing his utterly exhausted body to rest briefly.

After a long while, he barely caught his breath, allowing the nerves numbed by intense physical training to slightly relax, slowly recalling.

Who am I? Where do I come from? What am I supposed to do?

It's not that Yuzhibo Dongshilang is lacking.

It's simply that the two weeks of special training pushed his body and mind beyond their limits.

After each training session, he felt himself; both body and mind were on the verge of collapse.

As an elite Jonin, Yuzhibo Chongzheng could each day finely control the training intensity, letting his spirit and body constantly teeter on the brink of collapse, repeatedly jumping back and forth.

In this way, to temper Dongshilang's mental will, as well as his combat skills, physical strength, and every other aspect.

When the special training first began, the intensity was still somewhat mild. Not easy to handle, but not as painful as it is now.

As Teacher Chongzheng gained a further understanding of Dongshilang's abilities in all aspects,

While marveling at Dongshilang's talents in every way, he involuntarily began to raise the standards of Dongshilang's training requirements, hoping for the family to cultivate an outstanding genius ninja.

Watching this outstanding younger family member, as he arranged the various trainings, gradually increasing strength, Yuzhibo Chongzheng's trait of 'liking to teach' was slowly, slowly, evoked bit by bit.

After all, for a genius ninja, under his cultivation, even a slight growth brings a sense of fulfillment he had never experienced before.

But this just made things tough for Yuzhibo Dongshilang!

As his secrets were gradually uncovered by the teacher, the ensuing special training also increased bit by bit.

Its variety kept coming, each day bringing Dongshilang a different experience.

However, after each special training session, upon returning home Dongshilang basically stayed in this state, not even wanting to move his little finger.

He was simply too exhausted, both physically and mentally.

However, everything has two sides. Having endured this two-week special training that was like hell,

Thanks to the special training arranged daily by Teacher Chongzheng, plus the blessing of three real-combat sessions a day,

Now Dongshilang has made great progress in both combat technique and personal strength, incomparable to when he previously trained alone behind closed doors.

Now Dongshilang, when facing an ordinary Chunin in one-on-one combat, might lack the strength to slay him.

However, exchanging a few moves and maneuvering for a moment or two still poses no pressure.

(I'm embarrassing my fellow transmigrants again! ^_^|||)

Compared to other transmigrants, who already had the strength to kill a Jonin at age eight, Dongshilang, after four years of training, has barely reached Chunin level, which is indeed far inferior.

However, considering he was originally an urban white-collar worker, over these years, although he has read many books, he devised some questionable training items for himself; they have some effect, and the foundation he built is extremely solid.

But in terms of technique and specificity, he is still far inferior; he cannot compare his training to that of these orthodox ninjas, honed through countless brutal killings and a long history.

The Uchiha family excels precisely in this regard. Whether in reconnaissance, combat, search, or chakra control, or the practical application of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu, they have a special training method distinct from that of ordinary Leaf Village ninjas, and this method is exactly what suits their own clan members.

As a newcomer, Dongshilang still does not realize that his special training has only just begun; the days ahead are long, and there will be hardships to endure.

After Teacher Chongzheng's special training,

it transformed his great power, speed, reflexes, and chakra into actual combat strength.

Regarding ninja combat, he gained a more comprehensive understanding of stealth and sudden attacks, among other aspects.

He can also launch attacks more effectively and defend against surprise assaults.

(I'm embarrassing my fellow transmigrants again! ^_^|||)

Even so, his achievements are flawless among peers his age.

He kicked off the ninja sandals on his feet, struggled to rise from the floor, and finally caught his breath; Dongshilang, barefoot, slowly walked indoors.

Because of these days' ultra-high-intensity training, the shadow clones Dongshilang left at home decreased from three to one.

The training items also changed from Yin Release, Yang Release, and Genjutsu, etc., to chores and reading, in order to reduce energy consumption and mental fatigue.

No way, he's not made of iron; he cannot maintain three shadow clones' practice while coping with Teacher Chongzheng's special training.

Even maintaining a single shadow clone is so that after returning from daily training, he doesn't have to do chores like cooking and boiling water himself.

Entering the bathroom, he spent over an hour soaking in a hot bath prepared in advance by a shadow clone.

He immediately felt that the day's fatigue from training had largely dissipated, giving him a sense of being revived.

He couldn't help but marvel, the people of this world truly have abnormal bodies; after such brutal daytime training, they can recover in such a short time.

He didn't know whether it was due to chakra or his own youthful rapid recovery.

Having cast aside these miscellaneous thoughts, after dinner, the loosely clad Dongshilang walked to his home's armory.

He began preparing his equipment for tomorrow's mission, item by item.

Hand swords, kunai, steel wire, explosive tags, long swords, rations, soldier pills, plus changes of clothes and medical supplies.

Yes, after two weeks of special training, Yuzhibo Chongzheng fulfilled his earlier promise, taking from the Hokage Building a C-rank mission to exterminate bandits.

This is also the first C-rank mission for Dongshilang, Yan, and Zhe, three newly minted genin; it is also their first time leaving the village, truly facing the killing and darkness that ninjas encounter.

Regarding this mission, Dongshilang attaches great importance to it; he meticulously inspects both his weapons and equipment and the rations and medical supplies used for logistics.

Furthermore, just in case, he prepared banknotes worth 12,000 for emergencies.

There's no help for it; this is the first time he's left the Leaf Village's nurturing environment, facing the darkness and slaughter of the ninja world.

He will also face his first killing in life, and he cannot afford to be careless.
