Chapter 0063: Breakthrough! Breakthrough!
Land of Wind, where the wild sands roamed fiercely.
Under the bright moonlight, a team of about a thousand people advanced rapidly like a black dragon, surging toward the Sand Ninja headquarters.
"Tsunade-sama, there's a Sand Ninja outpost about 4,000 meters ahead," reported the sensory-type ninja who had scouted the area.
"And their numbers?" Tsunade asked, her voice calm and controlled.
"Not more than twenty."
"Good. Quick and decisive."
"Understood!" The dozen or so ninjas who were at the forefront of the assault unit all nodded in unison. Their figures flashed forward like streaks of black light toward the outpost.
It wasn't so much a battle as it was a silent assassination.
In the face of the most elite assault unit from Konoha's western front, the Sand Ninja guards didn't even have time to scream before they met their end and ascended to the afterlife.
"Move forward," Tsunade ordered after the fight was swiftly concluded. The group set off once again.
It was just a small encounter—a minor bump in the road for this formidable assault unit. These little outposts weren't even enough to serve as appetizers.
Guided by the Sand Ninja defense map and the elite vanguard unit clearing the way, the team encountered almost no resistance as they pierced deep into the heart of the Sand Ninja headquarters.
A massive camp soon appeared before them, with lights glowing from within.
Sand ninjas, fully equipped and ready, were patrolling the front gates. Around the camp's perimeter, eight wooden watchtowers stood tall, with guards keeping a close watch from above.
"This must be their main base," Nara Shikaku commented as he rubbed his chin. "Even at a time like this, their defense remains unwavering."
"Does that mean we have no choice but to break in head-on?" Tsunade agreed, nodding slightly. "No matter the cost, as long as we complete this raid, the Sand Ninjas' plans will be completely thrown into chaos. This will work heavily in our favor."
"It'll also crush their morale," Shikaku added. "But if we force our way in, we're bound to suffer heavy casualties."
"That's war." Tsunade's eyes flickered with a trace of sadness. "That's why I hate war."
Shikaku fell silent. To be honest, he hated war too. But for the sake of the village, there was no avoiding it.
In just a few moments, Tsunade's sorrowful expression disappeared, replaced by a stern one. "I'll be in charge of support. From now on, you'll take command of the operation."
"Understood." Shikaku nodded, fully aware that Tsunade wasn't suited for front-line combat due to her hemophobia.
"And one more thing..." Tsunade sighed, her tone softening. "My student will be with you. Keep an eye on him for me."
Student?
In Shikaku's mind, an image of a cute little boy surfaced—a boy who constantly begged Tsunade for hugs, kisses, and to be lifted high into the air.
He had heard from Tsunade that the kid was quite skilled. After all, the boy had completed a solo mission and returned with intel from the "secret order." Clearly, he had some real talent.
But Shikaku just couldn't picture this soft-looking kid fighting in a brutal assault. Could this fragile flower, raised in a greenhouse, really handle such a tough battle?
Well, as long as he can protect himself, that should be enough.
With this in mind, Shikaku asked, "Tsunade-sama... where is your student now?"
"He's with that squad on the right," Tsunade said, glancing over toward where Hiroto (Wuyue) was supposed to be—but the familiar figure was nowhere in sight. "Huh? Where did he go?"
…
Meanwhile, off to the side of the Konoha assault unit, in a hidden grove, I was caught in a dilemma.
Just now, I had received yet another infuriating task from the system, with three equally ridiculous choices. Compared to the difficult decisions I had faced in the past, this one was even more twisted and insane.
[New options generated!]
[Host, choose one of the following options:]
[-> Option one: Wear a girl's outfit and perform "Gokuraku Jodo" in front of the Sand Ninja camp to soothe the souls of those about to die.]
[-> Option two: Strip naked and rush into the Sand Ninja camp, bending over and asking them to stick something up your… you know.]
[-> Option three: In the midst of battle, pull out your "golden rod" and perform the infamous "Urine Escape" technique on the Sand Ninja headquarters to show them your strength and valor.]
[Note: Penalty???]
How could I choose?! How was I supposed to make a choice between these?!
No matter which option I picked, it would surely ruin my reputation! I would be humiliated so badly that I'd be forced to leave the village in shame! Everyone present would remember me forever—not for my power, not for my bravery—but for my perverted, twisted actions!
While others had titles like "White Fang of Konoha," "The Legendary Sannin," or "The Yellow Flash," I was going to end up with the title of "Konoha's Great Pervert"!
Was there any way out of this?
Desperately racking my brain, my eyes suddenly lit up. I remembered the "Fantasy Transformation" skill the system had awarded me after I had fondled Konan's... parts.
Though the idea of turning into a little girl again made me feel deeply uncomfortable, at this point, I had no other choice.
