ACSP: Chapter 30: Even if I have to bet the name of the Hokage, I will stop you!
Sarutobi Clan grounds.
Just when the Nine-Tailed appeared in Konoha Village.
Li Yanran and the other three, who had been waiting outside, immediately rushed into Hiruzen Sarutobi's home.
"Hokage-sama, the Nine-Tailed has invaded the Village."
"I know."
Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly changed into his combat gear, then gazed at the Nine-Tailed wreaking havoc outside the window, saying in a deep voice: "I will suppress that thing. You go quickly to protect the non-combatants and take them to a safe place, then rendezvous with me afterward."
As his voice fell, Li Yanran and the three others received a task notification:
[Task Issued: 1. Protect the civilians in the Village and take them to the shelter. 2. Rendezvous with Sandaime and fight together to repel the Nine-Tailed.]
[Task Rewards: Depending on task completion.]
[Accept?]
It was actually a dual task.
Li Yanran and the others were overjoyed; without any hesitation, they decisively accepted the task and began to act quickly.
Although this task did not specify detailed reward information.
But based on the reward mechanism for dual tasks, it certainly wouldn't be bad.
The other secret realm squads had already begun to act.
However, without Jiang Chen's guidance, the tasks they received were not very good.
In fact, many people wandered around the Village for a long time, found several Konoha Ninja, but ended up not receiving any tasks at all.
For example, those who went looking for Kakashi Hatake earlier.
When the Nine-Tailed appeared in Konoha Village.
Before they could even start a conversation with Kakashi, they were taken away by a Konoha Ninja named 'Kurenai Yuhi'.
Then, Kurenai Yuhi placed all of them inside a barrier.
Under the pretext of protecting the young Ninjas of Konoha Village, Kurenai Yuhi placed them all under house arrest.
Those secret realm squads who went looking for Uchiha Fugaku encountered a similar situation.
Uchiha Fugaku was originally preparing to lead people to deal with the Nine-Tailed.
But just as he was gathering his forces.
Several Root Ninjas suddenly found him and issued him a task he could not refuse.
Members of the Uchiha Clan were not allowed to participate in the Nine-Tails invasion incident.
They only needed to guard their clan's territory.
And those secret realm squads who went looking for Uchiha Fugaku, having overheard the words of those Root Ninjas, were also forced to accept this 'humiliating' task.
Although it was a task, the reward was pitifully small, only 100 experience points.
Then, they were placed under surveillance by a group of Root Ninjas along with those from the Uchiha Clan.
Completely losing their freedom.
However, if we're talking about the most unlucky, it has to be those secret realm squads staking out the entrance of the Hokage Office.
They thought that since a major event was happening in Konoha Village, the Hokage Office building would surely become the primary command center.
So they specifically came here.
But what they never expected was.
When the Nine-Tails invasion occurred, the former Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, set out directly from his home.
And the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was even more desperate to save his wife.
He simply had no time to take command at the Hokage Office.
They waited anxiously at the Hokage Office entrance for a long time. In the end, not only did they not receive any task, but they were also smashed to pieces, building and all, by a furious swipe from the Nine-Tailed.
...
At this moment.
Inside the administrative office.
Chen Chuxi had already led her team to find the two Konoha elders, Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado, and successfully received an escort task from them.
[Task Issued: Escort Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado to a safe location.]
[Task Reward: 1000 Experience Points]
[Accept?]
Looking at the reward information for this task, Chen Chuxi and the others were speechless.
So they waited here all this time, just for this?
"Miss, this task seems a bit too ordinary, and the reward is... well, not great. Could we have made a mistake?"
Someone asked, their tone full of doubt towards Chen Chuxi.
However, at this moment, Chen Chuxi suddenly thought of something.
She let out a cold snort and said, "Why are you all in such a hurry? I suspect this is just a phased task. Once we escort these two Konoha elders to safety, there will definitely be another phase of the task released."
Seizing the opportunity, Wang Hao also stepped forward: "Xiao Xi is right. With the Nine-Tailed nearby, this place isn't safe. These two Konoha elders probably want to relocate their command post first, and then issue us other tasks."
The person who had doubted Chen Chuxi opened his mouth, wanting to say something more.
But the always arrogant and tsundere Chen Chuxi didn't give him the chance.
"Chen Mo, don't forget, I am the future heir of the Chen family. What I say now will be the rules of the Chen family in the future. You'd better think carefully before you speak, or don't blame me for disregarding our shared clan ties."
Her words instantly silenced everyone.
The Chen family member named 'Chen Mo' truly fell silent this time.
After hesitating for a moment, he could only choose to lower his head to Chen Chuxi: "Miss, you may have misunderstood. I wasn't questioning you. I just thought the reward for this task was a bit ordinary."
Chen Chuxi shot him a cold glance: "I led you to discover this task. Questioning the task's reward is questioning me. I'll let it slide this time, but don't let it happen again."
Chen Mo lowered his head: "I won't do it again, Miss."
So domineering.
Truly the woman I have my eye on.
Wang Hao was incredibly excited inside.
To him, the more overbearing Chen Chuxi appeared in front of outsiders, the more thrilled he became.
He wished she would step on him with her high heels right now and then trample him mercilessly.
He wasn't a masochist.
But when it came to Chen Chuxi, he had no resistance whatsoever.
Even if she made him drink her urine, he would savor it with relish!
After all, that was his goddess's urine, better than the finest nectar!
And so, under Chen Chuxi's forceful pressure, Wang Hao and the others ultimately accepted this escort task.
And Chen Chuxi firmly believed that once she escorted these two Konoha elders to safety.
These two Konoha elders would definitely issue them the next phase of the task.
This current task was just an appetizer.
The next task would be the real main event.
...
And just as Chen Chuxi and the others were escorting Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado to safety.
On the Hokage Rock at the edge of Konoha Village.
A figure with blond hair had appeared here like a ghost.
"Bearing the name of Hokage, protecting the families in the Village, this is my duty."
"From now on, I will stake the reputation of the Fourth Hokage and absolutely will not allow you to run rampant anymore..."
Minato Namikaze stood up straight, looking at the rampaging Nine-Tailed in the distance, his expression unprecedentedly grave.
"—ROAR!"
At that moment, the Nine-Tailed, which was destroying the Village in the distance, suddenly turned its blood-red eyes towards him.
"So you've noticed me already?"
Minato Namikaze remained expressionless. With a slight flick of his right hand, a flying raijin kunai suddenly shot out from his sleeve, firmly grasped in his hand.
The next second.
The Nine-Tailed opened its massive maw.
A huge black and purple Tailed Beast Ball quickly gathered and took shape.
Then, amidst a roar that shook the heavens.
The Tailed Beast Ball shot out like a cannonball, carrying unstoppable force, heading straight for the Hokage Rock.
A gale-force wind swept through.
All the houses along its path were completely flattened.
Wherever it passed, only ruins remained.
