Chapter 094
Konoha
Nara Clan
"Shikamaru, you're asking for confidential information that only an Elite Jōnin can handle."
Shikaku Nara looked at his son anxiously and wondered why Shikamaru suddenly asked for this kind of information.
"Inuzuka Kiba, my classmate, just like Naruto and Sasuke, has encountered that guy."
Shikamaru's gaze was very determined.
"Can't you tell me who the hell he is?"
"Watch your language!"
Yoshino scolded from the kitchen.
Shikaku took a deep breath.
He looked at his son's determined gaze and asked, "Why are you so interested?"
Yoshino couldn't help but listen closely from the kitchen.
It was the first time Shikamaru showed interest in something.
"I...," Shikamaru hesitated for a moment.
"I don't want to be left behind..."
He said the last part quietly while gritting his teeth.
Shikaku smiled at this.
He put aside the cigarette in his hand and grabbed Shikamaru by the shoulders.
"I'm glad to know that you're at least competitive."
Shikaku knew Shikamaru perfectly, and as a father of only one child, he didn't want Shikamaru to feel the pressure of being the successor of the Nara clan.
He wanted him to enjoy his childhood, something he couldn't do due to war and other aspects.
But in these times of peace, Shikaku wanted to see Shikamaru enjoy his life.
From a distance, just as he liked it.
"But still, I can't reveal this kind of information."
Before Shikamaru could protest, Shikaku said, "But..."
"I can talk to Tsunade-sama to arrange a meeting with him."
Shikaku sensed that his son had some kind of knowledge about the mysterious Uchiha.
Naturally, Shikaku Nara, as a Jōnin strategic commander, was aware of Kenzo's power and his merchant hobby.
As stated by Tsunade herself.
But this was confidential information.
Just seeing Shikamaru so impatient, Shikaku had no choice but to give in a little to his demands.
Otherwise, Yoshino, who had stopped her movements in the kitchen, would possibly not let him sleep in the coming days.
Upon hearing this, Shikamaru calmed down a bit.
"Yoshino, when the hell will dinner be ready?"
Shikaku grumbled in annoyance to lighten the mood.
"What did you say?"
And his wife's scolding didn't take long to arrive.

[Zombie slaves killed: 30/30]
[Congratulations on completing the mission]
Kiba, a little physically and mentally exhausted, looked at the blue screen in his field of vision with a mix of annoyance and joy.
Entei, not much better, was lying on the ground.
[Entei - Lv4 (200/2000 EXP)
HP MAX: 700/700
ATK: 55
DEF: 210
SP. ATK: 110
SP. DEF: 410]
Kiba was feeling a little happy about his progress.
In this intense battle against countless zombie slaves, he felt how he was slowly synchronizing with Entei.
Achieving strategies that even a Gēnin would have to be very careful not to die at their hands.
Walking forward after a good rest.
He saw a lever in front of him, a crude one made of wood and wrapped in rags. Carefully, he pulled it down until it clicked into place and retracted into the wall.
"That's one less." murmured the Inuzuka as he turned around and headed back the way he came.
The nest would be better described as a burrow, with numerous corridors leading to sub-chambers carved into stone and rock. He had been marking an 'X' next to the tunnels he had gone down because there were so many of them.
Climbing up the main passage, he made a mark on one side of another side passage before entering. Eventually, he reached a room that held a completely different breed of enemies for him.
Unlike the zombie slaves, these were not weed specimens, but healthy and muscular ones. They wore armor, although not much, over their robes; copper pauldrons, bracers, leather bandoliers, and the occasional open helm.
They also carried copper swords.
[Zombie Adult LV9]
[Item Thief]
This... would be harder than the thirty slaves he had killed.
With a shout of anger, one of the ones in the nest, which was much larger and more complicated, spotted him, drawing the attention of the other five present. They rushed at him en masse, brandishing their swords threateningly.
Kiba retreated towards the passage, luring the new species of zombies to attack him two at a time. It wasn't easy, as he had to parry and block more than attack, to give Entei a chance.
However, Entei was too exhausted.
It wasn't until he saw a copper sword pierce him in a spectacular slash that he reacted.
Entei tried to attack, but he was too tired.
"Shit....".
Kiba cursed, watching as his body disappeared into small particles of light alongside his Pokémon's.

Inuzuka Clan
Kiba's Room
Akamaru, who was lying on the floor feeling a little down, was surprised to see his owner suddenly appear in the middle of the room.
However, instead of showing surprise, he showed great joy and pounced on him.
"Oh! Akamaru."
Kiba also greeted him enthusiastically.
[Congratulations, you have completed the first step of the tutorial, the next step will unlock when you meet the conditions]
The usual blue screen interrupted Kiba and Akamaru's reunion.
Entei had been sleeping for a long time on Kiba's bed.
Kiba was almost speechless at seeing this.
Because he was very dirty, and his bed was now a complete mess.
However, this didn't stop him from taking the rewards.
[You obtain.....]
[Potion X2]
[Revive X1]
[Ether X1]
....
[Entei - Lv4 (200/2000 EXP)
HP MAX: 700/700
AT: 55
DEF: 210
SP. ATK: 110
SP. DEF: 410]
"Well, at least I know exactly how to handle it."
Kiba wasn't completely disappointed at being killed in the dungeon.
Instead, he was happy to now have the same understanding he has with Akamaru, now with Entei.
