I'm in Naruto, but the system says I'm in One Piece.
Chapter 12, First Real Combat: Observation Haki Acquired
Hoshino Yu was somewhat surprised.
I thought I'd have to fill the progress bar to get a reward like before, but I got the first reward at only 25% progress.
Although the mission has been slightly upgraded, it seems to have only been upgraded a little bit?
There's a reward for going down the river, but how far do you have to sail to get a second reward? And what kind of sea king do you need to defeat?
fishing?
Looking at the "Shave" adaptation tweak in his inventory, he was starting to look forward to the so-called Sea King.
If it really is fishing...
It's one thing to be an air force pilot before becoming a ninja, but to be an air force pilot after becoming a ninja? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?
Now, I'm even willing to go into the river myself and act as a fishing master!
Hoshino Yu raised his oar and looked at the water gate, then grinned and made rowing motions, saying:
"Even without sails, we can still set sail!"
"One cough! Yu, Minato!"
Shuizhu stood behind the two, excitedly raising his hand and shouting.
"yes!"
Minato smiled and agreed, and then he and Hoshino Yu began to row the boat towards the center of the river.
They were located upstream, in a river channel that was only a dozen meters wide, not considered large.
As long as you don't enter the main downstream channel, there's generally not much danger.
He was a little clumsy at first when rowing the boat, but after a while he got used to it and mastered the technique.
Leaving aside Hoshino Yu for the moment, as a former air force sage, he is naturally adept at things like rowing and fishing.
It was Shuimen and Shuizhu's first time rowing a boat, and they found it novel. They would put their hands into the river water from time to time to feel the "sailing" sensation.
In no time, the three of them had rowed the boat for several hundred meters.
Just as Hoshino Yu was wondering why the mission hadn't responded yet, the familiar rewards began to be distributed.
......
Current progress: 50%
[Mission Countdown: 191 hours]
[Rewards being distributed... The steel dagger has been distributed and added to your personal inventory. Please check your item panel for details.]
"Having obtained the second reward, it's been a few hundred meters since we came here. If we say it's five hundred meters, then one hundred nautical miles should be one thousand meters."
Seeing a brand-new dagger gleaming coldly in his inventory, Hoshino Yu worked even harder.
"Yu, Minato, you two take a break, let me take over!" Seeing that the two people in front of him had no intention of changing, Mizuhashi couldn't help but speak up.
"Senior Water Column, I'm not tired for now."
Minato raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his temples and said with a smile.
His friend has already pulled ahead of him by quite a distance, and he needs to seriously catch up.
Whether it was the previously invisible Body Flicker Technique or the control over chakra, Hoshino Yu's performance did not seem like something he had just learned.
Minato experienced for the first time what it felt like to be "betrayed" by a close friend.
We agreed to play against bots together, but when the results came out, I was the bot. Did you hide your stats to play in the high-level ranked matches?
It hurts, it hurts too much.
"Water Column Senior, you continue to be your good captain, leave this to the two of us!" Hoshino Yu kept paddling, becoming more and more excited.
In a short time, half of the task was completed, and two rewards were obtained.
If we don't work hard now, how will we ever fight the Otsutsuki?
Is that the only kunai he has?
What's the difference between that and Danzo's Kunai-wielding Susanoo?
Seeing that neither of them was willing to let go, Shuizhu scratched his head helplessly.
"Good luck to you guys!"
He offered verbal encouragement while also leaning over the stern of the boat, using his hands to help row.
Hoshino Yu and Minato were like they'd been injected with adrenaline, and the speed of their small boat increased rapidly.
......
Current progress: 75%
[Mission Countdown: 191 hours]
[Rewards being distributed... Three rolls of anti-slip and cut-resistant hand wraps have been distributed and will be stored in your personal inventory. Please check your attribute panel for details.]
Seeing that he was only one mission reward away from being claimed, Hoshino Yu began to ponder.
"If the mission can be completed in this river, the sea kings... can't really be just small fish, can they?"
After a moment's thought, he glanced at the slightly panting Minato beside him, stopped rowing, and said:
"Shuimen, let's rest for a bit and let the boat drift along the river for a while."
"Phew~ Okay."
Upon hearing this, Minato stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and talked to the somewhat excited water column behind him.
Seeing this, Hoshino Yu also relaxed his body for the time being and looked at the inventory in his mind.
[Standard gauntlets for regular enemies on the Grand Line, soaked in special plant juice, making them non-slip, cut-resistant, and durable.]
"It can actually view related information?"
Seeing the pop-up message about the hand-wrapped cloth in his inventory, he raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
I used the rewards directly without paying attention to this notification feature.
At the same time, a series of dull thuds came from the bottom of the boat beneath them, one after another, with increasing force.
The three fell silent instantly, their wary eyes quickly scanning the calm river surface around them, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Yu, Minato," Mizuhachi frowned slightly, his voice tinged with tension, "Did you hear anything?"
"Hmm, it's probably being targeted by something in the river."
Minato gripped the wooden oar tightly, raised his arm slightly, and instantly became fully alert.
Hoshino Yu put down the wooden paddle, picked up the backpack beside him, and took out the kunai and the dagger from his inventory.
"Senior Water Column, here you go!"
After handing the kunai to the Water Pillar, Hoshino Yu took a dagger and shoved it directly into Minato's hand.
"Yu, then you..."
"Hehe, I have this," Hoshino Yu replied with a smile, picking up a wooden paddle. "Besides, I also know ninjutsu."
Water Pillar has taken ninja tool and taijutsu classes, so it's no problem to give him kunai.
Even with a dagger for protection, Minato wouldn't be much different.
But there's no need to worry about any problems arising.
"A summoning beast? No, it's more likely to be one of those ferocious animals from the Forest of Death," Hoshino Yu thought to himself, staring at the calm river surface.
Before long, the small boat began to rock violently, and the hull even creaked, causing Shuimen and Shuizhu to involuntarily swallow.
puff-
A dark shadow suddenly burst out of the water and crashed into the hull!
Upon closer inspection, the three of them discovered a large fish over two meters long with sharp teeth!
Minato and Hoshino Yu reacted extremely quickly, simultaneously swinging their daggers and wooden paddles, striking the fish's head hard.
"Pfft—"
"boom--"
With a thud as the dagger pierced the fish's body and was struck by the wooden paddle, the big fish, in pain, twisted and darted back into the river.
A few traces of blood lingered on the river surface, but the large fish did not flee far, but circled underwater, waiting for another chance to pounce.
The small boat was hit so hard that a crack appeared in its hull, and river water even began to seep into the cabin.
"Let's get ashore first!"
Hoshino Yu frowned slightly, threw away the wooden oar, grabbed the two people's arms with both hands, and while circulating his chakra, he used the force of the boat to leap up, carrying the two people towards the shore.
The riverbank was only a few meters away from them, and even without the aid of chakra, Hoshino Yu could easily reach it thanks to his physical abilities.
The three of them had barely touched the ground and hadn't even turned around when the lurking giant fish sprang up again, splashing water as it charged towards them with its gaping maw full of sharp teeth!
"Tsk, do you think you can bully me?"
A cold glint flashed in Hoshino Yu's eyes. After pushing the two aside, his fingertips flew, forming the four seals of Si-Chen-Mao-Yin in a second.
"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"
As he turned around, his cheeks puffed out, and crimson flames, accompanied by scorching heat, roared out of his mouth, sweeping straight towards the oncoming giant fish!
The fire was fierce and engulfed the fish in the blink of an eye.
This is not over yet.
The water gate, which had stabilized its position, also formed the three seals of Xu-Wu-You.
"Wind Release: Breakthrough!"
In an instant, a strong wind blew out of his mouth, continuously slicing through the large fish while also merging with the Dragon Fire Technique.
The wind fanned the flames, and the fire gained strength from the wind.
With the two of them working together, the smell of burnt fish filled the air. The big fish twitched a few times in the fire, then fell onto the riverbank, steaming and motionless.
[You have received a time-limited mission: Assist Monkey D. Luffy in completing his first voyage!]
[Task Rewards: Depend on goal completion rate]
[By sailing at sea, you obtain the "Shave" adaptation fine-tuning method; after sailing 50 nautical miles, you obtain a steel dagger; after sailing 100 nautical miles, you obtain three rolls of non-slip and cut-resistant hand wraps; and after defeating a small sea king, you obtain Observation Haki (Enlightenment)]
Current progress: 100% (Completed)
[Rewards being distributed... Observation Haki (Enlightenment) has been distributed; please check your attribute panel.]
Seeing the notification that the mission was completed, Hoshino Yu felt a surge of joy.
Thanks to nature for its gifts.
However, a mere two-meter-long fish doesn't require any use of Devil Fruit powers.
Two C-rank difficulty ninjutsu are giving it too much credit.
Now that I've done my show-off, I've got the reward, and I've even got lunch sorted out.
Seeing the fish lying motionless on the ground, Hoshino Yu thought for a moment, first pretending to form the "Lightning Release: Earth Walk" hand seal, and then directly using his Devil Fruit ability, slapping the ground with both hands.
Nourishes—
Blue electricity flickered continuously in his hands, and in an instant, it rushed directly towards the big fish!
Only after the electric fish started buzzing did Hoshino Yu stop transmitting the current.
"Alright, all done."
