Not far away from the flower garden, Azurite and Duan found an open space and began to talk about Instant Beauty. Azurite only had theories but lacked practical experience. It was like she was holding an instruction manual, but she had no direct impression of the finished product. Kato Duan, on the other hand, had only seen the finished product. He had no clue about the in-depth content and the principle of the move.
"In that case, the range of Senior Jiwu's attack was about fifteen meters?”Furrowing her brows, Qimu Liuli squatted on the ground and used Kunai to record something.
"…That's right…It's about this range.”Duan also nodded, but he kept his eyes closed, trying hard to recall the situation.
" What amazing control…" Qimu Liuli sighed in admiration. After all, she relied on her spiritual perception, while Moonlight Dance relied purely on her grasp of the blade. " Even if there are coordinates in the center of the attack range, I can't control it so precisely. If it's within a radius of 15 meters, it will cause the attack density to be insufficient, and the lethality will be greatly reduced…"
"Coordinates? Center?" Duan muttered in a strange manner. He felt as if he had missed something.
" Liu Li…there's one more thing I don't know if it'll be of any help to you…" Duan asked with uncertainty.
Turning around, Qimu Liuli looked at Duan strangely.
"If it was back then, the center of Swift Dance's attack range would have a relatively obvious coordinate…"
“!”Azurite Qimu was shocked. She felt that her coordinates might be the focus of her cultivation.
Duan hesitated when he saw Qimu Liuli's expression. In the end, Duan's gaze became firm and he said with a bitter smile,"" There's nothing to be embarrassed about. At that time, I was injured in my leg and couldn't move. Therefore, I was at the center of the attack range of the Swift Dance and Blade Dance, and I couldn't move…"
"Where are the others?" Hatake Ruri felt a little strange. It was said that there were two squads at that time, but they were both standard Jounin and Chunin squads.
"All of them unfortunately died." Duan sounded a little disappointed.
It suddenly dawned on her. No wonder Duan said that she was the only living person who had seen the splendor of a moment. So that was the reason. However, she discovered a new problem…"Who were your opponents at that time?”
Duan smiled slightly and revealed a trace of pride on his face."At that time, we were surrounded by six Jounin…and…the third generation Thunder Shadow from Yunren Village!”
"What?!" Qimu Liuli cried out involuntarily. Third generation Thunder Shadow! If it was really the third generation Thunder Shadow, then those six Jounins would definitely not be ordinary Jounins. Under such circumstances…
Even though the situation was dire, with Moonlight Dance's concealment skill, it was not easy to escape, but it was not a problem to leave safely. Why would he fight to the death with the other party in this situation? Right, he had said that Moonlight Dance had acted on her own will, which meant that she had gone against orders to rescue him. But there was something strange…
"Teacher, are you saying that your leg was already injured and unable to move before Senior Jiwu used Instant Beauty?”Qimu Liuli asked the question that puzzled her the most.
"Are you wondering why I can still survive when I can't move?”It was obvious that Duan knew that Azurite would ask this question.
" I'm also very curious…" Duan raised his head and looked at the dark clouds in the sky that were gradually thinning. He used a tone that was immersed in his memories and slowly said,""I haven't thought it through yet…I just stayed there. The chakras were almost exhausted, but surprisingly, I didn't receive any attacks. The most dangerous time was when the Kuai was stuck one meter away from me…"
" What an enviable friendship…" Hatake Ruri pursed her lips. However, the more she thought about it, the more she realized why Duan had not been attacked. This was the most important secret of TwinkleBeauty.
" Ha, what's there to be envious of…" Duan scratched his head in distress." Didn't you see the way Swift Dance looked at me when she went to save me? It was as if she wanted to cut me into pieces…After she carried me back to the camp, she threw me on the ground. All the wounds on her body were torn open…" Duan suddenly felt disappointed." It was that time. Although Swift Dance pierced Thunder Shadow's throat in the end, she was still alive. However, my heart was also shattered by Thunder Shadow's desperate attack…I couldn't understand why he supported me in bringing me back to the camp…After all, my relationship with him was far inferior to his relationship with Kirai and Tsunei.”
"Then why did he risk his life to save you?" She used her feet to clean up the writing on the ground. Then, she pulled out Hanguang and slowly gestured.
" I heard…" Duan also stood up and began to pack up the tools he had brought to trim the plants. " I heard that…before Jiwu came to rescue him, he had a big fight with Tsunami at the camp…Well, I'll be leaving first. Ruri, you should go back and rest early too…"
Staring blankly at Duan's back as he left, Azurite suddenly recalled that she had heard rumors about the cause of Jiwu's death at the market where she bought ingredients. It seemed that Duan was a rather disgraceful character in the story…
"Sigh…" Liuli sighed listlessly and muttered to herself,""Why would I have time to gossip…Twinkle…But this is a little comforting. At least Moonlight Dance needs coordinates to use it ~"
" Coordinates!?" Azurite suddenly stopped what she was doing and fell into deep thought." No matter what the reason was, Senior Jiwu went to save Teacher Duan. Since he even tried this move of giving up on himself, no matter what the reason was, he must have had no way out at that time. If that's the case…Wait a minute…Teacher Duan did not receive any attacks after Senior Jiwu used Instant Youth. One possibility is that the other party determined that he was no longer a threat. However, on the battlefield... A living ninja will never lose his threat, and even a Jounin will never let his guard down. If he knows this, there's no reason for others to not know. If that's the case, it's not that I don't want to attack Teacher Duan, but I can't attack him…The reason why I can't attack him is because of this 'Moment of Youth' technique…"
Raising her head abruptly, Qimu Liuli revealed a smile of realization.""So, I was wrong from the beginning. This 'Instant Beauty' saber intent isn't ruthless at all…It's 'protection'…It's not a saber art to kill, but a saber art to protect?”
The dark clouds in the sky had already dispersed unknowingly. The warm afterglow of the sun spread across the charming flowerbeds. Qimu Liuli seemed to see the softness in the heart of the man known as the " God of Killing."
Just like you, Father.
———————————————————————————————
Half a month later, Qimu Liuli, who was in a good mood, came to the market again. Saber techniques were supposed to focus on understanding saber techniques. As long as one understood the saber intent of any saber technique, their cultivation would be smooth. Ever since he corrected his misunderstanding of "Instant Youth", Qimu Liuli began to practice hard. Qimu Liuli felt that this move of hers was already a little powerful, and the range was also controlled to within 25 meters. Although there were still some areas that didn't go well, no matter how skilled he was, at least there wouldn't be any problems for Tsunei to see…
"Boss, why is the price of pork rising again?”Arriving at the meat stall, Qimu Liuli frowned at the price displayed. She remembered that it wasn't this price a few days ago.
" There's no other way…Resources are getting tighter and tighter these days…" The pork stall owner's surname was Fang Qi, and they were considered acquaintances. His eyes were a little crooked, and every time Ruri Qimu saw the owner chopping meat, she would be terrified. He could manually shift the position of the things that were 60 centimeters away from him by more than 20 centimeters. The boss smiled and didn't mind. He skillfully put a big bone for Azurite. Due to the increase in cultivation and the needs of her body growth, Qimu Azurite paid great attention to her nutrition.
After receiving the bag, Qimu Liuli noticed that the shop owner was dressed differently today. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the shop owner…actually had a pair of pig ears on his head…
"How is it? This is specially customized for the image of the shop assistant!!”When the boss saw Qimu Liuli staring at the top of his head, he immediately guessed what she had seen. He immediately shook the pig ears on his head coquettishly.
Seeing a muscular uncle wearing such a thing was really out of place…Hatake Liuli immediately took out her wallet and planned to leave after paying the bill…
Opening her wallet, Hatake Ruri was once again stunned. Speaking of which, due to the astonishing consumption of food during this period of time and the fact that she rarely went on missions, it seemed that she did not have enough money in her wallet…
" That…Boss here…" Qimu Liuli's face was a little red. She actually asked for credit.
"Hmm?" He looked at Azurite with some doubt, but after operating for so long, he had seen all kinds of reactions. The boss immediately guessed the reason for Azurite's blush."If you didn't bring enough money, just owe it first. Next time, you can make up for it together.”
"Thank you, boss!" Azurite was delighted and immediately thanked him.
Shaking his head, the boss stretched out three fingers and smiled,"" It's nothing. Remember, you still owe me two hundred taels…"
"…Boss, it's 200.”Qimu Liuli stood on her tiptoes and pressed down on one of the boss's fingers.
"That's right, it's 200!" The boss stretched out three fingers again and looked at his own fingers in confusion.
…………
Forget it, Azurite decided not to continue pestering him and went home…
———————————————————————————————
The next day, the three members of the Sixteenth Nights group gathered at Muye's entrance once again. Azurite Qimu sighed as she looked at the silent Asma. Ever since that day, Asma had never contradicted the third-generation successor and Sixteen Nights. However, that didn't mean that Asma was fine. At the very least, Asma still couldn't accept the pair of Flying Sparrows that Sixteen Nights had entrusted Ian to forge.
"Sorry, everyone! I'm late!" With an insincere apology, the last Uchiha with soil finally arrived.
" Then..." Sixteen Nights looked at her three students with satisfaction. At least, compared to the time when they set off for the Vortex Country mission, everyone's growth could be seen. Sixteen Nights put out his cigarette butt on the ground and smiled.""Sixteenth Nights Squad, patrol mission, set off!”
At the same time, in Naruto's office, the third-generation Naruto and his two classmates, as well as the representatives of the elder group, Mito Hayato and Haru, were listening to a report from a member of the Dark Group.
The exact time and reason for the disappearance of the third generation Windshade was unknown. The length of time that the sand was blocked was unknown.
