Time flies like the wind.
Eight months have passed since Yasu began the training program newly arranged by Orochimaru.
Now, at the age of 13, Yasu is on the coastline of the Land of Fire.
Orochimaru accepted a C-rank mission for him, which was to eliminate the pirates who landed on the Land of Fire's coastline.
Around Yasu at this moment, a large number of headless corpses lay scattered.
These corpses belonged to the pirates, and to his surprise, there were even ninjas among these pirates.
Logically, a C-rank missions shouldn't involve ninjas.
However, in front of him, not far away, stood three individuals, all of whom could use ninjutsu.
During the exchange, he realized that these three were definitely not pirates, but rather ninjas from a ninja village.
Their combat methods were unmistakably those of ninjas.
After some deliberation, he guessed that they might be enemy ninjas hiding among the pirates, attempting to infiltrate the Land of Fire.
The three ninjas, on the other hand, were looking at Yasu with a wary and troubled expression.
In a short while, this young boy had actually killed all the pirates. If they hadn't been standing at the very edge of the pirate group, constantly interfering with him, they might have been beheaded as well.
Knowing they were no match for the young boy in front of them, the leader of the three ninjas whispered 'Retreat,' and they planned to escape.
But Yasu revealed a bloodthirsty smile: "Unfortunately, you all have to stay here permanently!"
"Thunder Breathing, First Form: Thunderclap and Flash!"
A thunderous sound, like tearing the air, rang out as he transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the ninja closest to him.
With a single slash, even with the back of the blade, he cut into the opponent's flesh.
The ninja who was struck let out a miserable scream, his entire body collapsing onto the ground like a puddle of mud.
The ninja, struck in the back, had his spine directly shattered by Yasu's blade.
Subsequently, Yasu quickly formed hand seals, took a deep breath, and his chest swelled greatly.
"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song!"
He then spat out four fire dragons towards the front, simultaneously attacking another ninja from the top, bottom, left, and right.
Upon seeing this, the second ninja immediately formed hand seals and pressed his hands on the ground.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
By channeling water-attribute chakra into the ground, he created a vertical water wall from below.
The water wall successfully blocked the top and bottom fire dragons, but failed to defend against the two fire dragons coming from the left and right.
After the two fire dragons hit the ninja, they instantly exploded.
The charred ninja flew out from the explosion and collapsed on the ground.
Yasu's gaze then turned to the third, and last, ninja.
The last ninja was running quite fast, already some distance away from him.
But Yasu pointed the tip of his katana at the ninja who was still running with all his might and lightning crackled and roared around the katana.
"Thunder Breathing, Fifth Form: Heat Lightning!"
A lightning-like slash with high heat was instantly released from the katana, striking the last ninja.
The lightning-like slash was so fast that it struck the target almost in the blink of an eye.
The last ninja's hair stood on end in the lightning's attack, his body convulsed, and white smoke began to rise from his body.
Only then did Yasu stopped the sword form in time to prevent him from being electrocuted to death.
The three ninjas were almost powerless and were dealt with by him with ease.
Yasu gathered the three ninjas who had already lost their ability to fight. Then, he formed hand seals again and pressed them on the ground.
"Summoning Technique!"
A cloud of smoke appeared, and after the smoke dissipated, a large white snake appeared in front of him.
The white snake greeted him indifferently: "Lord Yasssu."
Yasu pointed to the three unconscious ninjas on the ground: "White Snake, swallow them into your belly."
Upon hearing that it would swallow them into its belly, the white snake's voice immediately became extremely enthusiastic, and its snake body wrapped around Yasu's hand, acting coquetishly: "Oh, Lord Yasssu, you are so kind, you knew I was hungry and sent me food, indeed you are my favorite."
Yasu rolled his eyes. As soon as it heard there was something to eat, it became so enthusiastic. This glutinous snake's face changed so quickly.
Just as the white snake opened its mouth, preparing to meal on the three unconscious ninjas directly, Yasu reminded it: "These three are not for you to eat as food. I still have use for them. They are only temporarily stored in your body. You can eat the surrounding corpses as you please."
The white snake, upon hearing that they were not for it to eat, immediately became anxious: "What, Lord Yasssu, are you playing with my feelings? What's so good about eating these dead people!"
Yasu grabbed the white snake off of himself: "You're even picky about food now? Are you going to do it or not? If you don't, there are plenty of snakes in Ryuchi Cave who will!"
"Okay, okay, I'll do it, no need to be so anxious. Summoning people out like this, huh, I simply don't get paid enough for this."
The white snake still agreed, grumbling as it began to eat the surrounding corpses.
The corpses disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yasu who heard its grumbling twitched his eyebrow, but he was still very surprised to see this. After eating so many corpses, the white snake's abdomen showed no signs of swelling.
Soon the corpses were all eaten, and it was the turn of the three ninjas.
Yasu couldn't help but remind it: "I really have use for these three ninjas, don't actually eat them!"
The white snake flicked its tongue at him, dissatisfied: "Lord Yasssu, I also have professional ethics, okay, just chill."
The white snake opened its mouth again, swallowing the unconscious ninjas one by one.
This time, the white snake's belly finally changed, swelling greatly.
Yasu asked curiously: "Why wasn't your abdomen bigger when you ate those corpses just now?"
The white snake explained: "My gastric juices can quickly corrode flesh. These three people are now staying in a place in my body without gastric juices."
Yasu suddenly understood: "So that's how it is. Alright, then these three ninjas will be temporarily stored with you. I will summon you out later."
A cloud of smoke enveloped the white snake, and the white snake instantly returned to Ryuchi Cave.
After tidying up, Yasu set off for Konoha.
In these eight months, he basically received a C-rank mission from Orochimaru every month.
If it weren't because he was just a Genin, Orochimaru would have planned to have him accept B-rank missions.
And in these eight months, his strength completely changed day by day.
Because he already had experience in mastering the shape transformation and nature transformation of lightning-attribute chakra, he also successfully mastered the shape transformation and nature transformation of fire-attribute chakra.
Not only did he master the Uchiha clan's fire-release ninjutsu, but he also completely mastered the Summoning Technique, and also learned some of Orochimaru's secret techniques.
At the same time, in the rigorous training, his Sharingan also evolved into a double-tomoe Sharingan.
However, his greatest progress was not these, but his chakra capacity.
Now Yasu's chakra level has been increased to the chakra level of a Kakashi in the Sharingan state.
He was very clear that this must have been brought to him by the Senju clan physique. A Kakashi in the Sharingan state's chakra level is at least the chakra level of a special Jonin.
