If Zhuge Qingyun's previous creation of the "Fire Tornado Jutsu" was due to luck, then after he created the "Thunder Refining Activation Jutsu", Orochimaru had to recognize his talent in ninjutsu.
However, after Orochimaru learned about the "Thunder Refining Activation Jutsu", he only praised Zhuge Qingyun, but did not ask for this ninjutsu based on his status as a teacher.
On the one hand, this is because Orochimaru disdains to do such a thing, and on the other hand, it is because he takes the route of body softening, which creates a certain conflict with the "Thunder Refining Activation Jutsu".
After all, Orochimaru is still one of the candidates for the Fourth Hokage, and he has not yet reached the point where he would do whatever it takes to achieve his goals in the later period.
…
In front of the gate of Konoha Village, Zhuge Qingyun looked excited and curious, and asked Orochimaru impatiently: "Teacher, are we going out on a mission today?"
Almost all students from the ninja school had never left Konoha Village before they officially became genin, so when Zhuge Qingyun left the village for the first time, he showed excitement and curiosity, but it seemed normal.
Orochimaru looked at Zhuge Qingyun's somewhat excited look, with an inexplicable color flashing in his eyes, and said playfully: "Yes, I just accepted a C-level mission. This time you can make full use of your talents."
"o(*￣︶￣*)o"
After Zhuge Qingyun noticed Orochimaru's playful expression, he had roughly guessed what kind of mission he would perform next, but on the surface he made an expectant expression and said: "I'm starting to look forward to it."
"Then let's set off! If we go faster, we can reach our destination before dark." After Orochimaru finished speaking, he led Zhuge Qingyun directly towards the mission location.
"Swish swish..."
Under the leadership of Orochimaru, they traveled more than three hundred miles and arrived at the mission location - Black Rock Mountain before dark.
There is a small bandit village on Black Rock Mountain. There are more than thirty bandits in this village, and they harass the villagers in nearby villages from time to time.
These villagers really couldn't stand the harassment of these bandits, but once they had a conflict with the bandits, there would inevitably be a lot of casualties, so they simply pooled some money and sent people to Konoha Village to issue a mission to suppress the bandits.
Although there are more than 30 bandits in this bandit village, these bandits are all ordinary refugees and there are no ninjas inside, so the mission level is only C level.
When night fell slowly, Orochimaru stood on a large tree tens of meters high, looking down at the simple bandit village below, turned to Zhuge Qingyun and said: "Qingyun, your mission this time is to be alone.
Destroy this bandit stronghold and kill all the bandits inside."
"really."
When Zhuge Qingyun heard Orochimaru's words, he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, but on the surface he nodded expressionlessly and said: "I understand."
"Whoosh!"
After Zhuge Qingyun finished speaking, he stepped directly on the tree trunk, landed quietly on the ground, and then turned into a black shadow and sneaked into the bandit's stronghold.
Orochimaru looked at Zhuge Qingyun's leaving back, a trace of worry flashed in his snake-like eyes, and followed him quietly.
For genin like Zhuge Qingyun who have just graduated from the ninja school, the most difficult thing is often not fighting the enemy, but whether they have the determination to completely kill the enemy?
Orochimaru had seen many rookie genin who had excellent grades in ninja schools, but were afraid of death on the battlefield, so he specially accepted this C-level mission, hoping to show Zhuge Qingyun his blood.
With Zhuge Qingyun's strength, it would be easy for him to deal with these ordinary bandits, but if he cannot overcome the fear of killing, then the problem will be huge.
…
At the gate of the bandit's village, a tall and thin bandit holding a machete asked his companions with a vulgar expression: "Brother Dahe, I heard that you went to Huajie with the second boss yesterday. What is the taste of women there?"
how is everything?"
"Hehe, you are asking the right person. I am not bragging to you. The women there are whiter than the others, and they are also big and windy..."
"Poof! Poof!"
Just as the short bandit was gesticulating obscenely, two black shadows suddenly shot out from the darkness, and two shurikens were nailed into their necks.
"Uh uh uh……"
Feeling the severe pain in their necks, the two bandits subconsciously stretched out their hands to cover their necks, let out an inaudible sob, and fell to the ground gradually losing the breath of life.
After the two bandits guarding the gate completely lost their life breath, Zhuge Qingyun walked out of the darkness, crossed the gate and sneaked into the bandit's stronghold silently.
Since there are only more than thirty bandits in this bandit cottage, and these bandits are not regular troops, except for the two bandits guarding the gate, there are not even any patrolling bandits in the cottage.
"Huhuhu..."
When Zhuge Qingyun quietly sneaked into the house near the gate, he saw four sleeping bandits. He directly wiped their necks with kunai and put them into a permanent sleep.
After Zhuge Qingyun killed all the bandits in the house, he quietly sneaked into other houses and killed the other bandits in the same way.
Although there were some bandits in the room who were not asleep yet and discovered Zhuge Qingyun who had broken into the house, before they could scream, the shuriken in Zhuge Qingyun's hand was already nailed to their necks.
"Pa bang bang..."
After Zhuge Qingyun killed the last bandit, Orochimaru clapped his hands, slowly walked out of the darkness, and said in a hoarse voice: "Congratulations, you have completed your first commissioned task."
"..."
When Zhuge Qingyun heard Orochimaru's words, he did not appear happy. Instead, he deliberately held his breath, making his face look a little pale and his expression a little uncomfortable.
Orochimaru saw Zhuge Qingyun's somewhat pale face, reached out and patted his shoulder, and comforted him in a gentle tone: "This is the first time I killed so many people without spitting them out. You have done a good job."
"Um."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Qingyun nodded, took a breath and said, "Teacher, can I take away the money and weapons of these bandits?"
"Of course. According to the rules of Konoha Village, ninjas do not need to hand over the trophies they harvest while performing their missions. These bandits were all killed by you, so these things are naturally your trophies."
After Orochimaru finished speaking, he took out a blank sealing scroll and said, "I'll give this sealing scroll to you. It will be more convenient when collecting loot in the future."
