Chapter 36: The Novice Mission That Took Decades to Complete
"Naruto!"
With a whoosh, Jiraiya swiftly moved forward, wrapping his arms around Naruto, who had just been knocked back, and instead of resisting the impact, he chose to retreat swiftly with Naruto in his embrace.
Jiraiya's intention was to be wary of Huyi Xuan Yue's proximity.
However, to his surprise, Huyi Xuan Yue didn't make any further moves and instead remained stationary, as if nothing had happened.
What Jiraiya didn't know was that Huyi Xuan Yue was currently distracted by a series of system prompts that rang out in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Newbie mission completed.]
[With the immense help from the system's newbie gift package and the host's own diligent cultivation, after some time, the host challenged Uzumaki Naruto and finally emerged victorious after a grueling battle.]
[Congratulations, host, for defeating the ninja school's dead last. The first step of your ninja school reversal has been accomplished.]
[Please continue working hard, host, and strive to achieve your small goal of dominating the ninja school as soon as possible.]
[Prompt: The system will keep track of your progress and release relevant main missions.]
"It took more than fifty years to finally defeat Uzumaki Naruto. Sigh! Only I know the hardships I've endured. This newbie mission truly lives up to its reputation as the most challenging mission in history!"
Just like the system, Huyi Xuan Yue had also learned the art of blatant lies.
No, he was much more honest than the system.
After all, it truly had taken him over fifty years to defeat Uzumaki Naruto.
When did the system see him in the ninja school, fighting a tough battle with Naruto?
Never mind, this guy has had more than a few crazy moments.
Huyi Xuan Yue didn't expect the system to ever behave normally, so he might as well check out the mission rewards.
Huyi Xuan Yue continued reading with anticipation.
[Calculating rewards...]
[Newbie Mission: Defeat Uzumaki Naruto (Completed)]
[Mission Reward: Harem Technique]
[Reward Description: A powerful ninja technique created by the peerless genius Uzumaki Naruto, unable to be rated. It affects people of all ages and genders, from the mighty Kaguya Otsutsuki, who will fall into paralysis, trance, dizziness, and rigidity, to the Third Hokage, Jiraiya, and Ebisu, who will experience new negative effects like uncontrollable bleeding and limb weakness. It is truly the number one control-type technique in the ninja world.]
". "
Huyi Xuan Yue fell silent.
There were many things he wanted to say, but the words escaped him when he tried to speak.
Was the Harem Technique truly as formidable as the system described?
Well, it seemed to be the case.
From the mighty Kaguya Otsutsuki to ordinary ninjas, none could withstand the might of this technique.
Even himself...
Huyi Xuan Yue contemplated seriously.
Imagine a group of girls, ladies, and mature women—with curvaceous figures, no halos, a blend of east and west, some sweet, some coquettish, some elegant, and some dignified—rushing towards you with enthusiasm, seeking a hug.
Perhaps, just perhaps, he might lose his wits for a moment.
Ahem!
To be fair, the Harem Technique was indeed a formidable ninja technique, even someone of his caliber couldn't simply ignore it.
But!!!
If he were to use this technique in front of others...
Huyi Xuan Yue could already imagine the kind of reputation he would leave behind.
Look past Naruto's current cheerful demeanor as he casually casts the low-level version of the Harem Technique, the Seduction Technique, without any burden.
When he grows up and becomes the Seventh Hokage, he will undoubtedly regret his actions.
"Look, there's the Seventh Hokage, famous for using that naked-lady transformation technique to save the ninja world!"
"Did you know? That man, who stood shoulder to shoulder with the gods, actually likes to transform into women, and not just any women, but completely naked ones!"
Yuyi Xuan Yue suddenly thought of an ethical dilemma.
What if a ninja used Shadow Clones, transformed them into women, and then sparred with them?
Er... that seemed a bit too perverted.
Blame it on the sinister Senju old ghost!
To actually develop such a ninjutsu.
Yuyi Xuan Yue shook his head, immediately casting this corrupting thought from his pure mind, and turned his attention back to Jiraiya and the others.
Naruto, who had been caught by Jiraiya, had already regained his spirit.
Though he had taken a kick from Yuyi Xuan Yue, his thick skin and sturdy body quickly recovered, and he was back to his energetic self.
"Naruto, stay on the sidelines and observe. Don't recklessly jump into a battle of this level." Jiraiya instructed, his tone serious.
With that said, he turned towards Yuyi Xuan Yue, his expression stern, wasting no time as he stomped his feet on the ground, creating a loud "boom," and disappeared.
"It begins!"
Jiraiya appeared in an instant and threw a punch at Yuyi Xuan Yue, who stood in his path.
Yuyi Xuan Yue remained stationary, lifting his left hand to gently push against Jiraiya's arm, effortlessly dissipating the attack.
Jiraiya paid it no mind and twisted his body, lashing out with his left leg in a sweeping motion.
In response, Yuyi Xuan Yue took a step back, grabbing Jiraiya's right leg and countering with a kick of his own.
Smack!
The air reverberated with the violent sound of their clash.
Jiraiya ducked low, evading Yuyi Xuan Yue's kick, and then pushed off the ground with both hands, leaping up like a toad and lunging at Yuyi Xuan Yue's chest.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jiraiya's hands moved like a whirlwind, attacking from various bizarre angles with lightning speed.
After several rapid exchanges, Yuyi Xuan Yue was forced to retreat, his feet dragging long furrows in the ground. His body suddenly sank, and he stopped to face the pursuing Jiraiya, his expression calm as he said, "The taijutsu of Mount Myouboku? It blends the Leaf's fluid style, creating a unique personal flair."
"Interesting."
With his extensive combat experience, Yuyi Xuan Yue instantly recognized Jiraiya's distinctive fighting style.
"However, that's not enough."
Yuyi Xuan Yue stomped his right foot, employing the Body Flicker Technique, and charged towards Jiraiya, accompanied by an ear-piercing sonic boom.
The clash between the two intensified, with even more ferocious sounds echoing in their wake.
Due to Yuyi Xuan Yue's presence, to prevent any unnecessary accidents, Tsunade had only given Jiraiya a sleeping drug last night instead of something that would impair his combat abilities.
In other words, Jiraiya could currently utilize almost his full strength, aside from the slight residual effects of the drug.
"Indeed worthy of being one of the Sannin."
Yuyi Xuan Yue blocked Jiraiya's fist with his right hand, their eyes locked, as he commented.
"Is that so? It's a shame I can't witness your true power, Yuyi-senpai." Jiraiya said as he exerted more force, sending Yuyi Xuan Yue flying but quickly followed up without giving him a chance to catch his breath.
"Even if it's not my full strength, I can still stop you." Yuyi Xuan Yue stated calmly.
To be honest, in this impure world reincarnation body, his combat strength was indeed inferior to Jiraiya, one of the three legendary Sannin.
However, his true objective was not to defeat Jiraiya.
Maintaining the status quo, stalling for time, and preventing him from leaving—these were what he could achieve.
After all, he wasn't the one in a hurry.
Now, it was a matter of seeing how important Tsunade was to them in comparison to the Spirit Transformation Technique or Orochimaru.
