Chapter 103 Tsunade's Unexpected Move, Breaking Bad Master Kurenai Yuhi
Tsunade leaned on the stone table in front of her chest and stood up from the stone bench.
Looking at Uchiha Ike's harmless smile, her expression was somewhat dazed, but she quickly regained her usual sassiness.
"Oh, you're back."
She smiled broadly, her lips curving upwards, and reached out to rub Uchiha Ike's shoulder.
"How did today's tasks go?"
Tsunade asked this question, but she had already anticipated that most of them had not met the standard.
After all, the requirements she set were not something that could be easily completed in just two or three days.
After all, Tsunade had her own reasons for setting this target.
Hunting wild boars may not be difficult in itself, but her goal was not to complete it just once, but a full one hundred times.
As the saying goes, quantitative change leads to qualitative change. When the requirements for completing a task reach a hundred times, many issues that were not previously a concern need to be considered.
It's important to understand that wild boars aren't like cabbages, which are found everywhere. They often live in groups in the mountains and forests, not only knowing how to band together to defend themselves, but also having a leader in their prime to direct their actions.
A herd of wild boars can range from twenty to dozens. Facing dozens of wild boars in a dense, dark forest is no easy task, even for experienced Chunin. It would require setting up some traps and coordinating with teammates to accomplish the task.
But this process takes time and effort, and it can't be completed in a short period of time.
They need to deal with a hundred of these wild boar herds.
"It's done..." Faced with Tsunade's smiling expression, Uchiha Ike hesitated for a moment before cautiously replying, "It should be alright."
"What do you mean by 'okay'?"
Tsunade frowned, and unconsciously increased the pressure on her hand. This choice of words was far too careless.
Uchiha Ike blinked and spread his hands innocently: "So, it means... it's almost finished, right?"
Tsunade's fingers, which were massaging his shoulder, suddenly stopped.
"It's done?" Her almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, her tone tinged with surprise.
"Hmm." Uchiha Ike nodded, carefully maintaining his careless choice of words: "Almost finished."
O
"How is that possible? It's only been three days!" Tsunade bit her lip, clearly not believing Uchiha Ike's words.
Although people often say that someone is "as stupid as a pig," pigs are actually not stupid, especially wild boars. They are naturally alert and have a keen sense of smell.
As the fifth squad's operation unfolded, the stench of blood on their bodies grew stronger with each wild boar they killed. And once the wild beasts caught the scent of their own kind's death, they would immediately stalk away.
In other words, the further you go, the harder the task becomes to complete.
Considering all these factors, it would probably take an average team several months to achieve this goal.
With a slightly better configuration and a better-coordinated team, it might be possible to complete the task in a little over a month.
As for Class 5...
Tsunade optimistically estimated that if everything went smoothly, it could be completed in half a month.
This was already her optimistic estimate: half a month and fifteen days, completing six or seven rounds a day, which meant eliminating six or seven wild boar herds a day.
Even their original Sannin squad wasn't this good.
And now...
Uchiha Ike said they've taken care of it?
She turned to Kakashi, raised her fist triumphantly, and said fiercely, "You know the consequences of lying, right?"
Faced with Tsunade's blatant threat, Kakashi's cheek twitched slightly beneath his mask.
Two days before the official mission, Tsunade gave each member of Team 5 a special training session.
Kakashi chose taijutsu at the time.
He figured that if he wanted to fight Uchiha Ike in the future, the only thing he absolutely couldn't neglect was taijutsu.
Then, he was punched by Tsunade and almost passed out.
Now, seeing Tsunade raise her fist again, Kakashi's eyelids twitched involuntarily, feeling like he was about to be punched to the ground again. His speech quickened: "If Kurenai's side has twenty, then we've met the target... If not, we'll have to wait another day."
Tsunade's hand fell down from Uchiha Ike's body, and she stared blankly at the two people in front of her.
Yuhi Kurenai's team only needed to reach twenty to complete the task, which means that the two of them had wiped out eighty wild boar herds in three days.
Uchiha Ike and Kakashi completed 80% of the target in just three days!?
This isn't hunting, it's chasing and killing!
Tsunade opened her mouth, momentarily stunned.
She had already thought of lines that would both discourage them and be encouraging.
Now, it seems I can't bring myself to say it?
Seeing Tsunade standing there in a daze, Uchiha Ike tilted his head, blinked, and asked, "Tsunade-sensei, if we complete our quota this time, you should be able to treat us to barbecue, right?"
Looking at the smug Uchiha Ike, Tsunade didn't say anything, but in the next breath, she reached out and patted his head.
Taking advantage of Uchiha Ike's distraction, she ruffled his hair. Tsunade often did this, and it always worked.
However, this time, Uchiha Ike dodged it.
Uchiha Ike calmly stepped aside, smoothed his slightly messy black hair with his hair gel-coated fingers, and smiled as refreshingly as a gentle breeze: "Tsunade-sensei, what do you mean by this?"
Tsunade glared at Uchiha Ike and gritted her teeth fiercely.
Hmph, so they've grown wings and now they want to run away?
He won't even let me touch him twice, and he still wants to eat barbecue?
She's the only one who gets to take advantage of others; no one ever gets to take advantage of her!
"It's not over yet." Tsunade crossed her arms and grumbled with slight annoyance, "There's only one Kurenai on her side, she might not be able to handle twenty boars..."
But before she could finish speaking, a clear female voice rang out from outside.
"Tsunade-sensei, I'm home!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yuhi Kurenai stepped in, her pretty face showing a slight weariness, but also a hint of excitement.
"You..." Looking at the smile on Kurenai's face, Tsunade had a vague feeling that something was wrong, and hesitantly asked, "How many missions have you completed?"
Kurenai Yuhi extended three fingers.
"Three?" Tsunade nodded.
When acting alone, catching a group of wild boars in a day is quite an achievement.
However... in general, it's still not finished.
Thinking of this, Tsunade defiantly puffed out her chest in front of Uchiha Ike.
But at that moment, Kurenai shook her head: "Not three."
Tsunade froze, turning her head to look over.
Kurenai took out a sealing scroll from her waist, formed a hand seal, and opened it.
An enormous gray-green sack fell to the ground out of nowhere.
Kurenai took out a kunai, squatted down in front of the bulging sack, and gently cut open the sack with the blade of the kunai.
One by one, dark black pig ears popped out like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
"I poisoned the wild boars, so to prevent other animals from dying after eating the poisoned carcasses, I collected the boar carcasses and burned them with fire or buried them directly."
Kurenai Yuhi, with her hair pulled back, explained softly.
"To prove I had completed my mission, I collected their right ears."
Tsunade:
'
'
Just as she was staring blankly at the pig ears scattered all over the ground...
Kakashi, who was standing to the side, had already squatted down and started counting.
"Fifty, one hundred, two hundred... one thousand... one thousand five hundred."
Kakashi rose from his half-squat and stood in front of Tsunade, saying in a strange tone, "There are at least thirty wild boars here."
