In the suburbs not far from the border of the Country of Fire, a samurai wearing a black one-piece robe, a katana hanging from his waist, a ninja bag tied to his legs, and a rabbit-shaped mask on his face? Ninja? He slowly walked over from afar. This person was Kaede Haruno, who had gone out of the village to train.
It had been more than a month since he left Muye. During this time, Kaede Haruno had experienced a lot, changed a lot, and learned a lot.
In this month, Kaede Haruno had not only experienced the disgust, panic, and guilt of his first murder. Moreover, he had also experienced the death process of escaping from the hands of the Grim Reaper twice. Although it could be said that ninjas were a profession that lived on the edge of a knife, they were always in the shadow of death. However, Kaede Haruno's two close calls were almost fatal.
The first time he escaped death was when he fought with a ninja in the suburbs. At that time, although he had encountered a wandering ninja with the strength of Genin, because of his lack of combat experience, he had relied on the ninjutsu he had learned from the scroll to defeat the other party with great difficulty. He had thought that everything was over and let out a long sigh of relief when he was suddenly stabbed from behind. The enemy he had defeated suddenly turned into a piece of wood with a " pu " sound. The enemy had actually used the Substitute Technique without him noticing. If Kaede Haruno's body did not have a powerful automatic defense system, he would have been stabbed in the heart by the shuriken and died there.
The second time he escaped death was purely due to his lack of strength. He had encountered a Chuunin who was much stronger than him back then. The difference in strength was irreversible. However, just as the Chuunin was about to give Kaede Haruno the final fatal blow to reap his life…Some strange moves suddenly flashed through Kaede Haruno's mind. They were not as gorgeous as ninja moves, but rather suited the simplicity and practicality of samurai moves. At that time, he did not have time to think too much. He moved his mind and body as he pleased, and he actually managed to kill the powerful Chuunin.
Kaede Haruno had changed a lot in the past month and learned a lot. Abandoning his childish self, he became more mature. He lost his previous impatience and became calm. After getting rid of his original idealism, he became objective. Most importantly, he had become stronger! Yes, after more than a month of battle, he had sorted out the strange moves that suddenly appeared in his mind and successfully fused them with his body. Other than a few powerful moves that had harsh requirements, he could now use most of the moves at will. He had also finished reading the ninjutsu scroll that Haruno Fujita had given him. Other than the ninjutsu that required some time to learn, he had basically mastered the rest. Furthermore, after experiencing battle, Kaede Haruno was already able to use the mysterious moves and ninjutsu very skillfully. The only thing he regretted was that the highest level of ninjutsu on the scroll was only B rank.
"Our dear Lord Shui Ying, you didn't expect this, did you? I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Hahaha." Suddenly, an arrogant voice came from not far away from Kaede Haruno.
What was happening ahead? Curiosity prompted the bold Kaede Haruno to quietly move over, holding his breath, afraid of being discovered.
He hid behind a clump of grass and gently opened a gap in the grass in front of him. What he saw was a group of people lying on the ground and three strange guys standing in the middle of the empty space. Judging from the attire of the people on the ground and the four wavy forehead protectors on their heads, they should be the Fog Enduring Warriors from the Water Country. But what were they doing here? This was the border between the Country of Waves and the Country of Fire.
The three people in the middle were divided into two camps. One of the camps only had one old man. The old man was wearing a blue bamboo hat with a large " Water " character in the middle. He had a head full of short silver hair. It was unknown if he was born with it or if it was the accumulation of time. The most eye-catching thing was the scar under his left eyelid that extended all the way to his chin. He wondered what kind of story there was. The thick green neck guard didn't look bloated on his neck, and the wavy mark of the Fog Enduring Warrior on his light blue T-shirt was particularly eye-catching. Wait, that bamboo hat looked familiar! Kaede Haruno recalled what he had just heard and a sudden thought made him jump. The old man in front of him was actually Shui Ying? He remembered where he had seen this bamboo hat before. The third generation Naruto had the same style of pocket, but the color and the words in the middle were different.
He was even more curious now. Who dared to confront Shui Ying? Wasn't Shadow the strongest existence in the village? He could not help but shift his gaze to the two people from the other camp.
The two of them were a man and a woman, one big and one small. They looked more like father and daughter. The man was tall and sturdy, and his short black hair made him look simple and capable. She wore a blue fog-covered headband on her head, and the long ribbon danced in the breeze, making her look enchanting. His eyes were sharp, and half of his face was wrapped in gauze, adding an invisible deterrent to his entire being. Her upper body was naked, and her lower body was wearing a pair of gray trousers. The most eye-catching thing was that he was carrying a large saber that was wider than him. The girl beside him had fair skin. Her cherry lips were pink and delicate. The two strands of hair on her cheeks gently brushed against her face as the wind blew. Her forehead was also covered with a mask of a mist forbearing person. Her intelligent eyes were filled with wisdom and kindness. Dressed in a light green ninja robe and loose cropped pants, it added a little charm to her gentle and beautiful aura. Strangely, Kaede Haruno felt a sense of familiarity when he saw this girl, and his body involuntarily wanted to move forward. Fortunately, he came back to his senses quickly. Otherwise, he might have walked out of his hiding place in a daze.
"If you don't kill me, do you think you can keep me?”Shui Ying disdainfully glanced at the man in front of him and said in disdain.
"Shikura, I might agree with you, but my beheading knife won't agree. How would he know if he didn't try?”No More Beheading replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Do you really want to rebel? Have you thought it through?" Mizuki Yakura questioned.
"I've had enough. I'm completely disappointed that you've become a water shadow! Cut the crap, come on old man! Let me experience Shui Ying's strength!”After saying that, he turned to the girl beside him and instructed,"Bai, go to the side and wait. Let me fight with this old man first.
"Yes, if I don't kill you, sir." Bai Obediently nodded and stood aside.
Seeing that Bai had already retreated to the side, No Longer Sword carried the beheading broadsword on his back and jumped backward with a whoosh. He stood steadily on the surface of the water not far away. He raised his left hand high and placed the index and middle fingers of his right hand in front of his mouth. The water around his body spiraled up due to his chakra's injection and swirled around No Longer Slash. It was extremely beautiful. "Ninja Technique, Fog Concealment Technique." Following Abruptly No Slash's words, the place where Kaede Haruno and the others were standing suddenly became foggy. The fog became thicker and thicker, making it impossible for people to see anything that was close at hand.
The Fog Concealment Technique was a ninjutsu that the Fog Enduring Beings often used. Kaede Haruno had just witnessed it not long ago. It was an auxiliary ninjutsu technique that allowed the caster to hide in the fog and launch a surprise attack. It was equivalent to causing the caster to lose their sight, which gave the caster a headache.
If he didn't chop, he would gradually disappear, and Kaede Haruno would no longer be able to see him. "Small tricks, is this your strength? How disappointing." As the fourth generation of Mizuki, Shi Cang didn't seem to care at all. He snorted disdainfully, but his body didn't change.
