Just as Kenji finished practicing medical ninjutsu and was about to go home, Tsunade suddenly stopped him.
"I'm going out of the village on a mission tomorrow, and I might not be back for a while. During this time, you, Kushina, and Mikoto should stay in the village and train peacefully. Even if you do missions, don't leave the village, understand?"
Seeing the serious expression on Tsunade's face, Kenji could only nod.
Then, Tsunade waved her hand, signaling him to leave.
After Tsunade left, Kenji's life continued as usual.
Apart from occasionally going out shopping with Kushina and Mikoto, he would spend time in the summoning world, bonding with Charmeleon and Larvitar.
One night, under a sky with few stars, Kenji was enjoying the evening breeze outside his house when he was suddenly greeted by an uninvited guest.
A ninja wearing a full-body black outfit, even covering his face, suddenly emerged from the shadows in the distance.
"Are you Kenji Tanaka? Come with me."
Seeing the person's ominous appearance, Kenji nodded obediently on the surface and walked towards him.
As soon as he got close, Kenji suddenly punched the black-clothed person's kidneys.
The black-clothed person seemed to have expected this and immediately raised his right hand to block Kenji's fist.
However, he didn't expect Kenji's punch to be so powerful, directly sending him flying and breaking several large trees.
At the same time, Kenji immediately summoned Charmeleon and shouted.
"Charmeleon, use Heat Wave!"
A scorching blast of air instantly engulfed the black-clothed person, even setting his black outfit on fire.
At this moment, the black-clothed person hurriedly shouted.
"Kenji Tanaka! I'm not an enemy, stop!"
Hearing this, Kenji scoffed and responded disdainfully.
"Crazy people always say they're not crazy. You're dressed like this in the middle of the night and trying to kidnap me. Who would believe you're not an enemy? You can tell that to the Anbu. Charmeleon, use Focus Punch."
Charmeleon instantly appeared behind the black-clothed person, who was still being assaulted by Heat Wave and hadn't noticed Charmeleon's arrival.
After a loud "bang," Kenji looked at the pile of what could now be called mud in the distance and fell into thought.
"Charmeleon, your strength seems to be a bit too much."
Charmeleon scratched the back of its head, as if saying, "You told me to use Focus Punch, it's not my fault."
Since things had come to this, Kenji surveyed the surroundings and, after confirming that there were no witnesses, Charmeleon used Flamethrower to erase the black-clothed person's remaining traces from this world.
After doing all of this, Kenji reached out and patted Charmeleon's head, then went back to his house to sleep.
Anyway, the black-clothed person had ill intentions, so killing him was self-defense. No one could argue with that.
Late at night, in a secret base in Konoha.
Danzō Shimura looked at the kneeling ninja in front of him with a gloomy expression.
"Has F2 not returned yet?"
"Danzō-sama, we can't find F2 anywhere. There's a high probability that he's already met with an accident."
Danzō waved his hand, dismissing the ninja in front of him.
Afterwards, he stood motionless like a statue, slowly muttering to himself after a long time.
"Hiruzen, did you do this? Just wait, I will definitely become Hokage..."
Kenji, who was asleep, didn't know that he had been targeted by a humanoid creature because of Kushina.
As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the security around Kushina was very tight.
Therefore, even Danzō couldn't send Root members to contact her.
However, Kenji was different.
So far, his two most valuable identities were Kushina's boyfriend and Tsunade's disciple.
Therefore, as soon as Tsunade left the village, Danzō couldn't wait to send Root ninjas to contact Kenji.
However, Danzō had never expected that his F2, who had the strength of a special Jonin, would be killed so easily.
As Kenji had expected, after he destroyed the black-clothed person's body, no one came looking for him.
Time passed uneventfully. Because Tsunade had told them not to take missions outside the village, Kenji and the others hadn't done any more missions.
After all, the missions left in Konoha Village were all D-rank missions, with low rewards and tedious tasks, making them unnecessary to complete.
One day, while Kenji was wandering around the village, he suddenly noticed that many ninjas were hurrying about, and the atmosphere had suddenly become strange.
To verify his guess, Kenji first went to the grain store.
Sure enough, the price of grain, which had been stable before, had suddenly increased several times.
All of these signs indicated that war was coming, or rather, that war had already begun.
In the Hokage Building, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath from his pipe, exhaling a cloud of smoke after a long time.
"Send someone to Iwagakure to ask why they sent ninjas to invade the border of the Land of Fire."
With a "bang," Danzō slammed his hand on the table in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"What's there to ask? Those damned Iwa ninjas are trying to start a war. We absolutely can't back down. Send ninjas to kill those Iwa ninjas now."
Homura Mitokado chimed in from the side.
"Since Mito-sama passed away, the surrounding ninja villages have become increasingly restless. The Iwa ninjas' actions may be testing the strength of Konoha. We must respond strongly now."
This time, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally made up his mind.
"In that case, send Sakumo Hatake to lead the team to eliminate those Iwa ninjas."
At this moment, Danzō suddenly interjected.
"How about sending Kenji Tanaka as well?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzō with some surprise.
"Kenji Tanaka? He's just a Genin. What's the point of sending him? What if something happens to him and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki goes berserk?"
Danzō had a confident look on his face.
"Hehe, you don't know, Hiruzen. Although Kenji Tanaka is just a Genin, according to my Root ninjas, he already has the strength of a Jonin. And since Tsunade isn't here, this mission can be used to promote Kenji to Chunin and continue leading the team."
