A new month begins with opening the Superpower Roulette.
After he had the thought of leaving the village, Uchiha Yoichi spent two more days familiarizing himself with the Lightning Release Chakra Mode before hoping to refresh a powerful superpower with the Superpower Roulette before leaving.
[Sneeze Transformation]: When you sneeze, a person within ten kilometers is randomly chosen to possess an animal. Once they become the animal, they will inevitably hear your inner voice. Sneezing again ends the transformation.
What kind of bizarre ability is this? Does this ability have anything to do with him?
After thinking it over, Uchiha Yoichi confirmed that this was almost just a prank ability unrelated to him and shut off the Superpower Roulette without further attention.
The number of useless abilities drawn over the past year was too many. Uchiha Yoichi, who initially hoped that the Superpower Roulette would change his fate and help him achieve the Six Paths, now just logs in as routine.
Today's ability draw was clearly a prank, and a random one at that. Uchiha Yoichi couldn't control it and if he remembered correctly, he'd already sneezed when he got up this morning.
After breakfast, Uchiha Yoichi packed up his Ninja Tools Bag, fully equipped, and headed toward the Hokage Building.
He still had quite a bit of savings at home, so taking on a task was Uchiha Yoichi's idea of leaving the village. He wasn't a native Uchiha or a Konoha person and didn't have much of an attachment to the place.
Moreover, though Konoha Village seemed large, over sixty percent was occupied by villagers and the ninja clan's bases, which meant there were very few places to visit. Staying here too long would suffocate him.
Once he arrived at the Hokage Building, Uchiha Yoichi went straight to the mission desk.
Usually, the Third Generation Hokage handled the task distribution. A-Class and S-Class tasks were personally given by the Third Generation Hokage to the ninjas, but when Hokage was busy, he wouldn't come to the task desk.
"I want to take on a mission, preferably a C-Class leave-village mission, like a single-person bandit extermination."
After speaking, Uchiha Yoichi paused and continued, emphasizing: "C-Class, not fake C truly A pseudo S. No dumping enemy Jonin into the mission!"
The ninja at the task desk recognized the ninja in front of him asking for a mission. In the past six months, he'd disbanded three task squads and was known as 'Cold-Blooded Teammate,' prioritizing task completion and not caring for teammates' lives, the Uchiha Yoichi.
"Got it..."
The people at the task desk weren't very happy internally but last time there was a mishap in the task which they could be blamed for. Moreover, the person in front of them was an Uchiha, and his gaze was unfriendly, so the task desk staff didn't argue.
"There aren't many C-Class tasks; only four remain for leaving the village. One is escorting a merchant team requiring a squad, two others are long-term protection tasks also needing ninja squads... The last one was just submitted by a local resident near the village, claiming wild animals stomped their fields and broke into their homes."
The ninja at the task desk explained briefly. Apart from battles, very few tasks needed just one person.
Especially escorting and protection tasks. From the employer's perspective, more ninjas meant better; they couldn't discern which ninja's strength was superior.
"You can only accept the last wild animal clearing task; besides that are D-Class tasks that don't limit Chunin, there are some B-Class tasks but you can only accept assassination types...."
Uchiha Yoichi was surprised upon hearing this: "I can take on B-Class tasks?"
Though Chunin could take B-Class tasks, it was generally the Chunin squad that took them. Team coordination lowers the failure rate; single-person tasks have too high a failure rate. Too many failures could tarnish Konoha's reputation.
"Others can't, but Mr. Yoichi, you can..."
Hearing the task desk's words, Uchiha Yoichi instantly thought it was his clan negotiating with the higher-ups.
"Help me check for suitable B-Class tasks."
————————————
He took on a C-Class wild animal clearing task and a B-Class black market operation backed by ninjas clean-up task. The former was just reported to the village today; when Uchiha Yoichi arrived at the Hokage Building, he likely passed by the commissioner.
According to the investigation feedback, it was said to be a wild boar from the Forest of Death that trampled a field and crashed into the home of a nearby village chief.
The village chief promptly ran to Konoha, hoping to hire a ninja to kill the beast.
Wild animals from the Forest of Death are highly likely to have Chakra, but even if they have Chakra, they are mindless beasts that don't reach ninja threat levels.
Uchiha Yoichi took this task as a side job. Killing a beast earns fifty thousand Ryo, without splitting with other squad members. In this sense, having no squad is quite good.
At the Konoha Village gate, he met the village chief who had commissioned the task. Uchiha Yoichi went with him to the village.
The attacked village wasn't far from Konoha, taking only ten minutes.
On the way, Uchiha Yoichi learned the general situation from the chief.
It should be a wild boar attacking the village. However, the boar's tusks were like an elephant's, and its body was like a small hill. The chief was startled, but recalled it being conservatively estimated at four to five meters long.
This size isn't small even in the Forest of Death, though considering the irregular natural environment for ninjas, it's not too abnormal. The Land of Grass even has bamboo tens of meters wide.
Tracking beasts is also easy as they don't hide traces like ninjas; their footprints left upon departing are clear.
After observing for a while, Uchiha Yoichi prepared to search for the beast: "Chief, wait here for updates."
After speaking, with one Instant Body Jutsu, Uchiha Yoichi vanished before the chief; Lightning Release Chakra Mode needs daily Lightning Release Chakra stimulation and body training, so Body Instantaneous Technique becomes his frequent Instant Body Jutsu use.

'How did I become a wild boar!?'
Waking up, Tsunade was shocked, almost losing her bearings.
She was still drinking at home last night, but today she woke up and found herself in the forest outside the city!
Moreover, her body had changed, visual perspective was completely different, and when trying to speak, only pig grunts came out. Attempts to wave hands were futile too.
As a top Medical Ninja, Tsunade's knowledge of the human body was first in the Ninja World. She quickly found she no longer had a human body.
Her body was large, limbs short, covered in foul-smelling mud, and her stomach was empty.
"Oink oink oink oink!!!!"
'Who the hell is playing such a joke on me? Once I change back, I'll definitely kill you!!'
Tsunade, upon realizing she'd turned into a beast, roared angrily, but her words turned into a wild boar's grunts.
She reached a riverbank and saw she had become a wild boar, seemingly in the Forest of Death.
In normal circumstances, Tsunade could leave the Forest of Death within ten minutes, but now using a boar's body, she could hardly summon Chakra, unable to climb trees or walk on water. Her hunger forced her to choose a direction to move.
After crashing through the Forest of Death shield and spending some more time, Tsunade reached a village beside Konoha.
She realized she'd gone the wrong way due to hunger, couldn't stand it, and thus barged into the chief's house and ate from a rice barrel; raw grains were her limit, she wouldn't eat typical boar food even if it meant death.
After eating, Tsunade returned to Konoha, aiming to change back; in her memory, Jiraiya seemed to have used a transformation jutsu like this before.
But he turned people into toads, not wild boars... Tsunade wasn't sure. Yet she felt this wasn't Jiraiya's doing. If he dared play such an excessive joke, she'd break twelve of his ribs again.
'Konoha Village, I'll firstly find Jiraiya once back, but avoiding villagers and ninjas is troublesome, and I can't speak....'
While Tsunade pondered how to transform back, her battle-honed instinct suddenly warned her of danger, so she kicked her short hind legs and leaped forward.
As Tsunade leaped, several shurikens whizzed from various directions, embedding into the ground.
Uchiha Yoichi on a distant tree was slightly surprised seeing this sight; his shuriken throwing skill was so poor?
Even a wild boar could evade it?
