"Itsuki! If you don't come out, I'll be bullied to death!!"
Ino suddenly screamed toward the woods, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
"Itsuki…" Tsubaki froze when she heard the name. Captain Itsuki is here too?
Mai didn't react at first, but soon sneered. "So, you do know fear sometimes. But so what if Itsuki comes? He's just a lucky guy. With my brother-in-law here, do you think I'd be afraid of him?"
"What brother-in-law? He's nothing more than a mistress. I've never seen such shamelessness," Ino muttered under her breath, curling her lips.
"Itsuki…" Mizuki's expression turned serious.
Back at the heavily guarded facility, Itsuki's performance had already shocked him greatly.
The Fujin and Raijin—capable warriors Mizuki had painstakingly chosen—had been easily defeated by Itsuki.
But Mizuki didn't feel too threatened now. His strength had grown explosively after drinking Orochimaru's potion. Even he was amazed at his own power.
With his Chunin-level combat experience, how could he possibly lose to a boy who had just graduated?
"Itsuki, come on!" Mizuki sneered. "Let me show you what real power is!"
The next moment, the ground rumbled. A massive tree sprouted up suddenly, flinging out two thick vines that coiled around Mizuki and Mai, hoisting them into the air before they could react.
"What—?!" Mizuki's face twisted in shock.
Just as he tried to break free, he realized there was a terrifying suction force pulling at his body. His chakra was being drained at an alarming rate.
The power Mizuki had gained was external—unstable and poorly controlled. Now, his chakra surged out of him like a flood, unstoppable.
"Ahhh! What is this?! Brother-in-law, save me! Save me quickly!!"
Mai shrieked in panic, struggling helplessly. The sensation was horribly familiar, as if she had experienced it once before.
Yes—it was Itsuki. This was his Wood Release!
Mizuki's face paled. The overwhelming strength he thought he possessed was vanishing, the tiger-like traits melting away.
Even his muscles shriveled as the chakra drained from him.
Swish!
A figure appeared beside Ino—it was Itsuki, his Wood Release binding Mizuki and Mai like helpless insects.
"Wow! It's you, Itsuki!" Ino instantly leapt into his arms, nodding quickly and hugging his arm tight.
"You saved my life again! This makes, what, several times already? How can I ever repay you? How about… giving myself to you!"
"Don't give me that." Itsuki sighed helplessly. "Ino, if you can't defeat the enemy, don't provoke them. What if I hadn't arrived in time?"
"Tsk, I wasn't scared of her!" Ino pouted. "I knew you were coming, so why waste effort? As long as you're here, they're doomed anyway. With you as my protector, why should I lift a finger?"
She leaned in closer, voice turning soft and coquettish. "Girls are supposed to be pretty, right? You should like me more like this. Don't you think so, Itsuki~kun~?"
Her sing-song tone gave Itsuki goosebumps.
But the truth was clear—the girls who once fawned over him only for chat group clout were now being genuinely drawn to him.
That sincerity was something Itsuki found far more appealing.
Still, with so many people present, he quickly averted his gaze.
Meanwhile, Mizuki and Mai were nearly drained dry.
More than eighty percent of their chakra had been absorbed, leaving them weak and barely breathing.
Mai stared at Itsuki in horror. She had never imagined he could be this terrifying—rendering her completely helpless before even showing his face.
Mizuki, once boasting vitality and strength, now looked like a shriveled corpse. His skin sagged, hair grayed, his body resembling a rotting tree.
"Ino… doesn't this look familiar?" Itsuki said, glancing at Ino.
Ino tilted her head thoughtfully, then snapped her fingers. "I remember now! That bandit ninja at Devil's Crying Mountain—he ended up like this too!"
Itsuki's eyes narrowed. That had been their first joint mission with Team 8 and Team 10—his first time teaming up with Tsubaki.
So… that wandering ninja had also been one of Orochimaru's experimental subjects?
Thinking of Tsubaki, Itsuki turned toward her.
She stood silently, head bowed, lost and ashamed.
Itsuki walked over, gently helping her up and untying her ropes.
"Captain…" she whispered, hesitant to even look at him.
Itsuki smiled softly. "You're a victim in all this too. It's not your fault—don't blame yourself. If anything, it's good you've seen their true nature now. Just face it honestly and move forward."
He released his Wood Release, letting Mizuki and Mai slump to the ground. Their bodies were so drained they could hardly move.
"Take Mai back and handle her yourself," Itsuki told Tsubaki. "Luckily, her mistakes didn't cause irreversible damage. I'll cover for her this time. But only this once—if it happens again, I won't show mercy. Discipline her properly."
Though Mai had gone astray, she was still young. Mistakes could be corrected. And honestly, she was just a small fry—her future antics wouldn't make much difference.
For Tsubaki, who had just lost almost everything she believed in, keeping her sister gave her something to hold onto.
Tears filled her eyes. "Thank you… thank you, Captain!"
As for Mizuki, he was finished. The strength he thought he had gained came at the cost of his life.
Now, with his chakra and vitality drained, he was already dying. Itsuki didn't spare him another glance.
Instead, he turned to Genma Shiranui, who lay gravely injured. Kneeling, Itsuki pressed his glowing palm to Genma's chest.
Mystical Palm Healing Jutsu.
Thanks to his mastery of sage arts and his own immense vitality, Itsuki's healing surpassed even Tsunade's.
Within minutes, Genma stood tall again, fully recovered, as though nothing had happened.
With that, the battle ended.
Itsuki instructed Genma to deal with Mizuki and reinforce the security of the facility.
His wooden clone remained behind to escort Tsubaki and Ino back to the village.
Strictly speaking, it wasn't even necessary—their location was close enough to Konoha.
But neither Ino nor Tsubaki allowed him to dismiss the clone.
On the way back, Tsubaki insisted on treating Itsuki to a meal.
Ino, however, insisted on something else entirely. "Be my boyfriend."
Itsuki could only smile wryly. He accepted the meal invitation—after all, it was just food.
But Ino's demand? Absolutely not.
Why give up the whole forest for a single tree?
He rejected her without hesitation, leaving Ino gritting her teeth in fury.
This was the first time she had confessed her feelings to a boy—and she'd been rejected!!
Thank God the live broadcast wasn't on, or I'd never hear the end of it from Forehead Girl…
