The matter of buying things.
Did not require Rokuro to go out personally at all.
He created two Shadow Clones and had them take the money to go buy the items. Meanwhile, he holed up in the training room to study the newly acquired Strength of a Hundred Technique, wanting to learn it as soon as possible.
Right now, on his person.
He still had over 30,000 Experience Points.
If the Strength of a Hundred Technique was considered an A-Rank Ninjutsu, he could quickly upgrade it to Level 3.
That way!
He would be even safer when going out.
With Rokuro's Level 4 Mystical Palm Technique, his Chakra control was immensely aided. And what learning the Strength of a Hundred Technique required the most was precisely accurate Chakra control.
Half an hour later.
Rokuro heard the system notification, which made him very happy.
[Strength of a Hundred Technique Level 1: EXP 0 / 100,000]
Uh!
Looking at this Experience requirement!
Rokuro's expression froze, and he felt so stifled he wanted to cough up blood.
Based on the pattern of ninjutsu upgrades where the required Experience Points doubled, upgrading the Strength of a Hundred Technique to Level 5 would require a total of 1.5 million EXP. This was simply too terrifying for him!
With that much Experience.
He could upgrade his Swamp of the Underworld, Mystical Palm Technique, Chakra Scalpel, Delicate Illness Extraction Jutsu, Hundred Dragons Technique, Form-Shifting Illusion Technique, and Violent Body Flow Ninjutsu all the way to maximum level.
If he upgraded all those ninjutsu to max level.
Rokuro felt he could go head-to-head with Hiruzen.
But putting it all into the Strength of a Hundred Technique would only yield one max-level skill.
Aside from preserving his life.
It wouldn't provide much of a combat power boost during battle.
Truly depressing!
By the looks of it, this Strength of a Hundred Technique was definitely an S-Rank ninjutsu.
He just didn't know if any future S-Rank ninjutsu he obtained would also start at 100,000 Experience Points.
If that was the case!
If he wanted to become as strong as Kaguya Otsutsuki.
He would need at least hundreds of millions of Experience Points.
Just thinking about it was terrifying!
Looking at the Strength of a Hundred Technique, he sighed for a good while. It wasn't until his Shadow Clones returned from buying things that he snapped back to reality and went back to his room to pack his bags and prepare to leave.
The Strength of a Hundred Technique?
He would deal with that later.
Right now, it was better to earn some Experience Points and upgrade the Violent Body Flow Ninjutsu to max level first.
Early the next morning.
At the main gates of Konoha Village.
Rokuro was chatting with the two guards watching the gate.
He was quite dissatisfied with Hiruzen, so he couldn't even be bothered to go to him to accept the mission. He just let his master, Kuro, go by himself while he waited here at the village entrance.
After chatting with the two Chunin for a while.
Kuro, wearing a black dog mask, arrived at the village entrance.
Seeing this, Rokuro stopped chatting with the two guards, ran up to Kuro, and asked, "Master, how did it go? What kind of mission did the old man arrange for us?"
Kuro's tone was calm. "An escort mission. We are to meet the client at Badan Town and escort a shipment of supplies to the royal capital of the Land of Fire. We might encounter bandits along the way."
Uh!
An escort mission?!
Doing that wastes a bit of time!
Missions like exterminating bandits or helping people fight were much more time-efficient to complete.
Unfortunately!
Hiruzen had the final say on the missions.
Even if he complained, it wouldn't do any good.
Rokuro shook his head and grumbled, "So troublesome. Master, let's head out early. After we finish this mission, tell the old man we want to take some murder and arson missions!"
Kuro shook his head helplessly. "You brat, you haven't even killed a person before. If you were suddenly given those kinds of missions, could you handle it? It's more appropriate to start with an escort mission!"
Rokuro walked toward the outside of the village, muttering, "I've seen guts and cut-open stomachs I don't know how many times already. What does mere killing amount to? In my eyes, those people are already dead!"
Kuro followed behind and said, "Alright, stop complaining. When we first start doing missions, it's always step by step. Lord Hokage is doing this to help you build up mission experience!"
Rokuro curled his lip as he walked. "I don't believe he's that kind. I think he's deliberately giving me these time-wasting missions so I can't contribute to Konoha. He's definitely afraid that if I complete too many missions, people will nominate me for the Fifth Hokage and snatch his position!"
Kuro was somewhat speechless. He patted Rokuro on the head. "What kind of messy nonsense is going through that head of yours? Lord Hokage would absolutely never do such a thing!"
Rokuro looked up and shot Kuro a glance. "I say, Master, are you standing on Lord Danzo's side or the old man's side? Why are you always speaking up for the old man?!"
Kuro took a deep look at Rokuro. "I don't follow anyone. I am only loyal to Konoha Village. As long as it is beneficial to Konoha, I will do whatever either of them assigns me!"
Hearing this, Rokuro curled his lip. "No wonder you don't please either side, Master. I think it's better if you choose a side to stand on. That way, at least one person will value you, Master!"
Kuro smacked Rokuro on the head. "You bastard kid, when did it become your turn to manage my affairs? Hurry up and hit the road. When we get to Badan Town, I'll give you something good!"
Having said that!
Kuro leaped into the air.
Executing the Violent Movement Technique.
Seeing this, Rokuro also executed the Violent Movement Technique and quickly followed after him.
