The rumbling thunder was deafening, and heavy rain poured down from the sky. The dark clouds covered the entire sky, and the already dim moonlight was even darker! The night was extremely noisy in this storm, but it also seemed extremely quiet!
A simple and crude stone house suddenly appeared in a low-lying wilderness. Despite the storm, it was like a rock in the midst of the waves, calm and steady. The sound of raindrops pattering against the walls was crisp and refreshing.
Inside the stone house, a slightly old oil lamp was emitting a dim yellow light. The dim flame was jumping physically, and the wick would occasionally emit a soft cracking sound.
There were more than 30 people scattered around the stone house, either standing or sitting. These people were wearing black tight night clothes and black masks, revealing only two pairs of lazy, fierce, and calm eyes. However, everyone's gaze would occasionally drift toward the center of the stone house.
There, two people were sitting opposite each other. One of them was dressed the same as the other thirty people. He had a burly figure and an imposing aura. The other person was dressed in a fiery red outfit. His eyes were bright and his lips curled into a faint smile, revealing his incomparable confidence. This outfit was very eye-catching and stood out among the black tight-fitting clothes in the stone house.
"Salamander, if you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, don't even think about leaving here alive!”A hoarse and suppressed voice sounded. The person who spoke was the burly man in black in the middle of the stone house. The anger and killing intent in his tone was chilling!
"Explanation? The man in red who was called Salamander snorted coldly as if he did not take the threat seriously. He shook his head gently and said,""I already said that those four Kirijinshi were not simple, but you ignored them and sent three Chuunin level guys to deal with them. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been killed. You actually want me to give you an explanation? Nagazawa Gorsuke, are you joking with me?”
The salamander gently knocked on the stone table between the two of them and looked at the burly man called "Nagazawa Gosuke" with a faint smile. There was even a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Hearing this, Nagasawa Gorusuke was furious. With a bang, he pressed his hands on the stone table and leaned forward slightly. His eyes were filled with anger as he growled,
"Salamander, don't go too far! Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking! He deliberately emphasized that the four of them were carrying out some bullsh * t escort mission, but he brushed off the four of them's strength by saying that they seemed to be quite strong. They wanted me to misjudge the strength of those four people and send a few of their weaker subordinates. The deaths of the three of them were probably within your calculations. Now that we've already formed a death feud with Kirin, wouldn't that fulfill your wish?”
"Head Captain Nagazawa seems to be very angry at my actions. Since you are in the mercenary business, you must have the awareness of sacrifice. To you, it's just a common occurrence for a few of your subordinates to be killed. How can it be called a death feud?"
The salamander seemed to be startled when he heard this, and then he laughed in surprise. Obviously, he was very disdainful of Nagazawa Gorsuke's irreconcilable attitude.
Shua, as soon as the salamander said that, the other thirty people in the room immediately locked their gazes on him, their angry eyes filled with killing intent!
However, Nagazawa Gorsuke fell silent and looked at the salamander's indifferent expression. After a long time, he said,"
"Salamander, I know you are very strong. Even I am not your match. However, there were seven Jounin level cultivators here. Although the others were weaker, they were not to be underestimated! Are you really that confident? Even in front of this power, he had the confidence to leave safely?”
"Haha, Nagasawa Gorusuke, you know your place and didn't say that you wanted to fight me alone…However, if all of you were to swarm me, I really wouldn't have the slightest chance of leaving this place. However, this means that our cooperation is over. Don't even think about getting that chance!”
The salamander laughed and looked at Nagazawa Gorsuke indifferently. It was as if he was going to eat Nagazawa Gorsuke up, and he was unbridled in his arrogance and arrogance.
Nagazawa Gorusuke's pupils contracted slightly as he fell silent. He looked at the salamander with suspicion, desire, greed, and a hint of fear!
"That opportunity…Salamander, the place you mentioned has the power to seize the fortune of the world. Once you enter, you will have the chance to obtain a powerful vitality and a special physique that is not inferior to the Swirl Clan…If it's true, it's indeed worth my full cooperation with you, but…"
" There aren't many organizations as powerful as us in Ninja Realm, but there are quite a few organizations that aren't inferior to us. There's even the rumored 'Xiao Organization' that looks down on everyone else. They're far from what we can compare to. Why did you choose to work with us?"
"Moreover, up until now, you haven't produced any evidence that can prove that what you said is true. Why should I believe what you said? If it's just a lie, I won't cooperate with you no matter how great the benefits are!”
Nagasawa Gorusuke pondered for a long time before his eyes finally lit up. He slowly sat up and asked in a deep voice.
"Hmph, as expected of the leader of Dark Lava, you live up to your reputation!”The salamander snorted and praised when he saw the suspicion and caution in Nagazawa Gosuke's eyes.
"Since you have doubts, I'll tell you everything.”The salamander hesitated for a moment before finally making up its mind.
" Secret technique, Three Talents Seal!"
Shua, Nagasawa Gorsuke felt his vision blur. The salamander had already cast a small barrier, just enough to envelop the two of them. Nagasawa Gorusuke was slightly shocked. He immediately felt that the barrier was not very powerful. It only had the effect of isolating sight and hearing, so he was relieved.
"Our clan is a clan that has been stripped of its surname. Our clansmen only have names, not surnames! When our clansmen are born, they will be selected and undergo some kind of ritual. One out of every ten people would be chosen by the ritual and given the surname…Swirl.”
The salamander's voice was low and slow, as if it was talking about an ancient history. However, the content of its words moved Nagazawa Gorsuke slightly!
" Whirlpool…" Nagazawa Gorsuke muttered, but he did not interrupt the salamander.
"Heh, just like how the Hyuga clan is divided into the main clan and the branch clan, the Whirlpool clan is also divided into the inner clan and the outer clan! However, the fate of the Whirlpool Race's outsiders was even worse than that of the Sunrise Race's branch family!”
The salamander smiled bitterly, its eyes filled with hatred and fear! It was as if he had returned to the era that he hated so much. His body involuntarily trembled slightly as he continued,
"The fate of the Sunrise Clan branch family is to protect the Sunrise Clan's main family and the boundaries of the Sunrise Clan's blood inheritance. Although their abilities were sealed and their freedom was restricted, they still had their dignity and were still recognized by the protected Zong Family. But, but, an outsider of the Swirl Race, let alone their ability, freedom, life, and even their dignity had been taken away! The existence of the Swirl Race's outer race was to provide an endless stream of life force for the enviable powerful life form of the inner race! Those inner race members who live under the sun and gain endless vitality are simply a group of filthy, disgusting, and shameless fellows who suck the flesh and blood of our race!”
" Whoosh!" The salamander's throat let out a sound that sounded like a bellows being pulled. Its slightly delicate face was even more contorted, and its body was emitting an overwhelming killing intent and resentment! He was like a furious ancient beast that wanted to devour people!
Bang! The barrier that was only used to isolate hearing and hearing was unable to withstand the sudden baleful aura. Under Nagasawa Gorsuke's shocked expression, it shattered with a bang. The violent and crazy aura exploded all of a sudden, and the temperature in the stone house instantly became extremely hot! The surrounding 30 ninjas felt as if they were being watched by a ferocious beast. Their entire bodies went numb, and they could not even move a finger!
Nagazawa Gosuke, who was close to the salamander, felt it even more intensely. He could clearly feel the change in the salamander's emotions. As the story went on, the salamander's brutality became more and more difficult to suppress. When he completely revealed the fate of the foreign race, his emotions suddenly erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for countless years. His crazy anger instantly swallowed all rationality!
Nagazawa Gorsuke felt his scalp go numb. Looking at the man in front of him who was immersed in anger, he actually felt a faint sense of fear! This guy who called himself Salamander had always been mysterious in his heart, and he knew nothing about his strength. The unknown and mystery had always made Nagazawa Gorsuke deeply afraid. It was only at this moment that the crazy emotions drowned out his rationality, and the Salamander's strength was revealed to him without reservation!
However, after understanding it, the fear in Nagazawa Gorsuke's heart deepened, to the point of fear!
Shadow!
Nagazawa Gorsuke suddenly thought of the name 'Shadow' in his mind.
In a trance, he seemed to see the figure that he could never forget when he was about to escape from Yanin Village with his four followers more than ten years ago. Yanin Village's Tuying, Liangping, and Ono Wood!
In that battle, all four followers of the Jounin level were killed almost instantly! If it wasn't for his meticulous plan to escape to the place where he had set up the trap earlier and trap it for a while, he might have also died.
From then on, Tu Ying's short figure became his nightmare. For more than ten years, he had woken up countless times because of his appearance.
And now, this member of the whirlpool's foreign race, a fellow called Salamander, gave him a vague feeling that he was facing Ono Wood!
