Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 6

Bai Xing, arms crossed, leaned against a tree trunk, quietly waiting for Might Guy to finish his shower and for the smell of a garbage dump to disappear before he slowly spoke.

"Dai. Do you always take this long to shower?"

These words startled Might Guy, who was wiping his penis and hadn't reacted yet.

"Aaaaaah—there's a ghost!"

A few minutes later, Shirahoshi saw that Dai's wife, startled by Dai's voice, had quickened her pace to come over. Shirahoshi greeted her and apologized, saying it was his fault. After Shirahoshi coaxed Dai's wife back home, an enraged Might Dai also got dressed.

Might Guy slunk his clothes into the tub, ready to wash them, and took the opportunity to complain about how someone had been silently squatting in the corner earlier, "Shirahoshi, do you know that scaring someone can be deadly!"

"Isn't it because you seem to be having a good time taking a bath?" Bai Xing glanced at the candlelight shining through the woods not far away. "Have you taken Miss Xiao Lin to get X-rays, check-ups, and consult a doctor recently? Don't be careless about these things."

"Don't worry about that, Rin is perfectly healthy!" Might Guy instantly regained his youthful energy. Only at times like this did he feel that his youth had meaning. But suddenly, Might Guy remembered that Shirahoshi had come to see him at this hour, and a sense of unease crept into his heart.

"But, Bai Xing, you suddenly came to see me. Is there some problem with the team?"

Bai Xing waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about that. There are still two months left. Just be prepared for these two months. I will help you complete missions and accumulate experience so that you can earn some money by carrying out D-level missions on your own and make a living in the village."

Upon hearing this, Matt Day was deeply moved. He recalled how, when he was rejected by the team and couldn't afford the village rent, he and his wife were about to wander the streets. It was Shirahoshi who told Day that he could consider building a cabin in a forest outside the village, which Shirahoshi considered relatively safe. The price was relatively cheap, but the safety was not very good, so he needed to be more careful.

Before construction begins, simply request permission from the Hokage and explain your situation. Once the Hokage learns of Dai's circumstances, they will naturally agree.

—But Shirahoshi didn't expect that this guy's wife got pregnant, his life got worse and worse, and in the end he was still living here.

"That's good. I've saved up quite a bit of money already. A few months before the delivery, I plan to go back to the village and rent a house with good lighting so that Xiaolin can live there and make sure she can give birth to my baby comfortably."

Shirahoshi: "......"

Should he say Dai is honest or naive? In modern society, Dai would already be pinned to a rooftop by online trolls, ready to jump.

“Speaking of which, I’m planning to buy a house. I’ve already paid a year’s rent for the place I’m renting, and the landlord says he can’t give me a refund. Why don’t you consider it?” Bai Xing didn’t know much about physical training. When he met Might Guy, the guy had shared some of his experience with him without reservation. Now he could consider it repayment—anyway, he could still live off his 'disciple' for two months in the future.

Upon hearing about the year's rent, Matt Dai, while washing his clothes on a washboard, felt his strength wane. "But I don't have much money, only twenty or thirty thousand taels right now..."

When passionate youth clashes with social reality, even the most passionate male protagonist will become insecure, let alone a minor supporting character in the drama.

"Don't worry, it's free, but there are only ten months left. You'll have to pay for your own water and electricity bills, is that alright?" Bai Xing said.

"Absolutely no problem! Shirahoshi, why are you being so nice to me? You're not after my body, are you?" Might Guy's face lit up with joy upon hearing that the rent was free.

—That way I'll have money to buy my wife nutritional supplements.

The next day at noon, Shirahoshi got up from his small single room, which was about 20 square meters. Last night, he did not only do Might Guy a favor, but also because he really could not get his deposit back. He had paid two months' rent: landlords in Konoha usually rent for six months or a year or more, with a deposit of one or three months' worth of money, and the rent needs to be paid in one lump sum for one or two months.

That's why he almost stole something back then; he genuinely had nowhere to live. Only by experiencing what it's like to be almost homeless in an unfamiliar environment can one truly understand the hardships of ordinary people.

"After lunch, let's find someone to look at the house. Then we can have those two guys help Dai move in. That way, we'll make the most of them."

Bai Xing looked in the mirror, spat out a mouthful of white foam, changed into clean clothes, and went to the agreed location to wait for the three to arrive.

A week passed quickly, and the teams gradually became more cohesive. Although Class 11 was not particularly outstanding among the graduating classes, in terms of the evaluation they received for completing the D-level mission, they were the best team among all the classes.

In a three-story apartment building in the center of the village, near a bustling commercial street, lived four members of Class 11 and Dai's wife. The apartment was a full 60 square meters and in near-new condition.

Bai Xing placed a pot of stew on the large wooden table. After setting it down, he lifted the scalding hot white cloth with both hands and said to the group, "Be careful, it's hot. Thank you for your hard work cleaning today."

Mikoto Uchiha coughed, stood up like a little adult, and raised the glass of orange juice in her hand. "It's alright, Nono! Let's celebrate that our teacher and Uncle Dai's family moved to a new house!"

Yakushi Nonou and Uchiha Mikoto clinked glasses, "Yay~"

She took a sip and continued, "Speaking of which, we've completed five D-level missions now. Shouldn't we start working on C-level missions?"

Upon hearing this, Mikoto Uchiha and Might Guy turned their gazes to Shirahoshi, who was carrying a pot of rice over. Shirahoshi secretly rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that he would never undertake a C-rank mission in the current situation; it would be no different from being cannon fodder delivered to one's doorstep.

Afterwards, Shirahoshi made up a random excuse to get by, while the Third Hokage, having somehow heard that Shirahoshi had moved here, still took some time out of his busy schedule to use a shadow clone to send a moving gift to both Shirahoshi and Might Guy: a small amount, three thousand ryo.

In addition, thanks to Yakushi Nonou's mother being a medical ninja who happened to have some connection with the previous occupants of this house, she was able to purchase this 60-square-meter house for exactly 4.5 million yen. Based on the land price, she saved at least 300,000 yen: the price of second-hand houses and new houses in Konoha Village is basically the same.

Chapter 10 Saiyan Physique

After the meal, the joyful and pleasant time will eventually come to an end. These days filled with laughter and conversation will become important memories in the future.

Shirahoshi's gaze swept across the game system interface; at this moment, only one main quest remained—to survive until the Shippuden finale.

After cleaning the few remaining white plates, Bai Xing received the reward for this newbie task.

[Random reward draw complete]

[Saiyan Physique] (Claimed)

[All new player benefits have been distributed; players are welcome to use them freely.]

The moment Bai Xing received the reward, she felt her body mutate. Her calm blood began to feel hot and restless, and she also felt a slight stinging sensation.

Click.

Holding a white rag and wiping the plate, my hands accidentally 'shattered' the plate with too much force.

Bai Xing gasped, thankfully she hadn't activated her powers while reading about adult toys, otherwise...

He escaped unharmed. He didn't dare to walk too hard or sleep on the sofa. Instead, he planned to take a walk outside around 8 or 9 pm to digest the reward.

Upon leaving the village and arriving at a public training ground, Shirahoshi was so engrossed in doing push-ups that he left several handprints on the earth's crust. Fearing that this would be discovered, he even used his chakra to add a little more strength to avoid leaving any 'fingerprints'.

The exercise lasted a full two hours, but Bai Chen not only didn't feel tired, but felt refreshed and invigorated.

Is this what a Saiyan's body looks like?!

Bai Chen finally adapted to the sudden increase in strength in his body. He planned to go home to rest, but then he remembered something and immediately went to a big tree, imbuing the soles of his feet with chakra.

Click, click.

The floor cracked from the uncontrolled, high-intensity chakra.

As expected! He obtained the Saiyan physique, and the quantity and quality of the chakra he refined increased. The quality and quantity were no longer commensurate with his previous chakra, and he had to adapt to this power.

Otherwise, using chakra in tomorrow's mission will give away the secret.

......

Early the next morning.

Uchiha Mikoto and Yakushi Nonou, who were the first to arrive at the Hokage Building, greeted Might Dai upon his arrival.

"Uncle Dai, you're dressed like this again? I'm getting a little tired of seeing you like this after all these days." Uchiha Mikoto chuckled, but for a proud Uchiha, it was a well-intentioned remark.

"Haha—this is the equipment that represents youth, and I will absolutely not take it off!" Might Guy gave a thumbs up, flashing his pearly white teeth.

"But this is the first time Shirahoshi-sensei has been late. Could it be that she forgot to set her alarm after moving to a new house and overslept?" Yakushi Nonou's eyes flashed with a mischievous glint, and her hands were already itching to play a prank.

Just as the three were discussing going to the house to look for someone, Shirahoshi, dragging his tired body, arrived at the Hokage Building right on time.

"Good morning, every body."

"Shirahoshi-sensei, you're so late~" Uchiha Mikoto complained. "We almost went to your house to see if you had bought any inappropriate or lewd items in your room."

Bai Xing rolled her eyes. "Are you my mom?! Not to mention I'm already eighteen, my real self is twenty-eight, so I'm practically fifty!"

He didn't respond to Mikoto's words, his eyes were tired, and there were some dark circles under his eyes. The observant Yakushi Nono noticed this, but didn't mention it. Instead, he watched Shirahoshi and Uchiha Mikoto walk into the Hokage Building, and followed them with Might Guy, who was oblivious to the fact.

......

After nearly a month of carrying out D-rank missions since the class was formed, Uchiha Mikoto and Yakushi Nono of Class 11 felt like they had almost memorized which cat and dog lived in which village.

Might Guy, on the other hand, maintained his passion and enthusiasm, remaining energetic and focused when performing tasks.

"Teacher, let's not do any more missions tomorrow. Even if we don't do C-rank missions, we should at least start teaching us about training." Although Mikoto Uchiha acknowledged that Shirahoshi, as a veteran of D-rank missions, was qualified to be a teacher, she felt that constantly doing D-rank missions wasn't sustainable.

While walking halfway, Shirahoshi didn't hear Uchiha Mikoto's words. Instead, she mentally calculated her savings, which had dropped from over 4.91 million ryo to around 500,000 ryo: Retirement is still going to be difficult!

"Teacher, are you even listening to us?!" Yakushi Nonou tugged at Shirahoshi's clothes, bringing him back to his senses. Shirahoshi looked around and realized that he had gone too far while giving Yakushi Nonou and Uchiha Mikoto a ride home.

"The team's synergy is almost there. Tomorrow, I'll give you a supplementary combat survival drill. I'll go inform Dai. The time is set for 10:00 AM at Public Training Ground 118. That's all." Shirahoshi waved her hand dismissively and walked towards Might Guy's house, completely unaware that Uchiha Mikoto and Yakushi Nonou behind her were looking at her with expressions as if they had seen a monster.

Is this still the same lazy teacher who makes me do D-level missions every day?!

Walking down the street, Bai Xing pondered for a long time, pacing back and forth in front of Might Dai's building, feeling conflicted. From the second-floor window, Dai's wife, Ms. Xiao Lin, noticed him early on, patted Might Dai on the shoulder, and said that Bai Xing was in trouble, and as his student, companion, and friend, she couldn't just sit idly by.

After pondering for a long time, Matt Dae finally decided to take out half of his recently earned savings and his own deposits, a total of 30,000 taels of loose banknotes, put them into a file bag, and then ran downstairs.

After thinking for a long time, Shirahoshi still didn't want to be promoted to Chunin, but he needed a good excuse, otherwise he would be promoted to Chunin and become a qualified village henchman, able to fight wherever the Hokage pointed.

"Shirahoshi!" Might Guy ran down the stairs, panting, carrying a thick file folder in his hand.

"Dai, I actually have something to tell you." Seeing Might Dai reminded Shirahoshi that he needed to inform Dai about tomorrow's survival drill. "Tomorrow..."

"Stop talking, I know everything." Might Guy patted the bewildered Shirahoshi's shoulder, holding a file folder, and pushed her into his arms. "You're getting married tomorrow?! That's so fast! When did you secretly find a girlfriend! Consider this money my wedding gift! It's not much, but it represents my heart..."

The two girls following behind Bai Xing were filled with terror. They were on missions with Bai Xing every day, so how did Bai Xing, who couldn't create shadow clones, manage to do both at the same time?!

Shirahoshi sighed, raised his hand, and pried Might Dai's hand off his shoulder. Might Dai was stunned for a moment. Shirahoshi didn't seem to have this much strength before; now it felt like he could just casually...

"I'm not married, I'm a single dog."

"I need to inform you that you will be attending the 11th class's live-fire survival exercise at Public Training Ground No. 118 at 10:00 AM tomorrow."

Chapter 11: Survival Drill of Class 11

Public Training Ground No. 118.

sunny

The air in June is a bit dry, and the summer heat makes people wish they could stay at home and enjoy the cool breeze from the air conditioner.

“Before the trial began, I bought you test strips for testing chakra attributes.” Shirahoshi held up three sheets of white paper in her hand. “Just input your chakra into them, and we can find out your chakra attributes.”

Uchiha Mikoto, who comes from a prominent clan, pursed her lips, slung her backpack over her shoulder, wore black leather shoes, and kicked the green grass below. "I tested this thing a long time ago."

"Fire and thunder."

"Great, you've saved the teacher money, thank you."

"You're welcome, you stingy person!" Uchiha Mikoto made a face. Shirahoshi didn't care and looked at the other two. Yakushi Nonou took a test paper from Shirahoshi's hand. The paper immediately became half wet and half shredded.

"Water and Earth attributes. You are well-suited to be a support ninja, and your precise chakra control also makes you well-suited to be a medical ninja."

"Yes!" Becoming a medical ninja was Yakushi Nonou's heartfelt wish, and she jumped up with joy.

But the next second, Shirahoshi's words hit her hard: "But I'm sorry, I'm not a medical ninja, I don't know medical ninjutsu, and I only have a superficial understanding of many medical things. I can't train a medical ninja."
