Tong's expression made Kaede realize that he should not speak anymore.
However, when he saw the short knife, he could not help but speak again.
" Your blade is not bad." Kaede pointed at the ninja dagger on the bedside table. For the first time, there was no fake smile in his eyes.
" Can I take a look?"
" Okay." Tong looked at Kaede absentmindedly and nodded.
Immediately, Kaede picked up the ninja dagger and pulled it out. The luster on the blade shone slightly.
" Good blade," Kaede could not help but praise. He caressed the blade for a while, then shook his head and put the short blade back.
"Tong, do you also use a saber?" He looked at Tong and asked in the end.
"No."
" Oh, then this saber…"
I got it from a wandering ninja."
"Oh…"
The two of them chatted slowly.
There was a very good saying that the best way to forget someone was to find another person.
Of course, this phrase was used to describe falling in love, but it had the same effect on Tong at this moment.
Naturally, he would not forget about Heaven's Burial. However, with Maple joining him, at the very least, he would not miss Heaven's Burial so much. He would not have to spend his days and nights cultivating to numb himself.
With Kaede around, Tong could spar with Kaede whenever she was free to increase her combat experience.
More importantly, Kaede was skilled in saber techniques. Perhaps his saber techniques were not as impressive as Whitetooth Woodleaf's. Even Mao Yue Xi Yan and Moonlight Gale were much more powerful than his saber techniques.
However, it was enough for Tong because he did not know any saber techniques at all. He did not even know how to hold his saber accurately.
Kaede did not reject Hitomi's request to learn saber arts. His face seemed to be forever filled with a fake smile as he began to teach Hitomi saber arts.
Those who had great achievements in saber techniques were generally not weak.
Even Whitetooth Woodleaf's swordsmanship had reached the peak of the Naruto World, reaching an unimaginable level. Even Mao Yue Xi Yan and Moonlight Gale had become special Jounin because they knew swordsmanship. The same was true for the eight-tailed man-made pillar. His swordsmanship was also not bad.
Moreover, there was a Seven Blades Gang in Kirin Village, which showed how powerful their blade techniques were.
Of course, the reason why Hitomi learned saber techniques was just to gain more skills. Moreover, he did not want to waste the good saber that Kaede had mentioned.
……
Clang!
The sound of swords clashing rang out as sparks flew. Tong and Kaede collided.
The short knives in their hands collided with each other, producing a sonorous sound.
After the two of them collided, they jumped back and stomped on the ground. Their figures collided again.
Kaede's short knife slashed down at Tong, but Tong used her backhand knife to block his attack. Following that, Tong bent her legs slightly and took a step forward. With a spin of her body, the Wooden Leaf Whirlwind swept towards Kaede's waist.
Tong's stomach shrank back, and his entire body arched into the shape of a shrimp. His calves were too short, and he dodged the attack just like that.
Then, he took a step forward and kicked Tong's stomach.
Her eyes bulged. Although the fight between the two could not be said to be a battle of life and death, they were both serious. Thus, Kaede's strength was very great. At least, Tong felt that her internal organs were churning.
He took a few steps back and was about to counterattack when Kaede's figure appeared behind him. The ninja knife was placed on his neck.
" I lost." Tong retracted her dagger, her tone somewhat disappointed.
He did not seem to be suited for saber techniques. After practicing for a whole month, he still did not make much progress. In front of Kaede's Chuunin, who could only be said to be proficient in saber techniques, if he did not use ninjutsu, he would be defeated in less than three minutes.
" It's already not bad." Kaede smiled.
At least it's much better than before. I spent half a year to reach your level."
" Half a year?" Tong was stunned for a moment before he laughed. He seemed to be a little too greedy. To think that he could cultivate saber techniques well in a month's time was a little too whimsical.
After finishing the morning physical training session, Hitomi prepared for today's training.
At this moment, a ninja from the Root Clan appeared.
" Tong, Kaede, you have a mission. These are the contents of the mission."
The ninja gave Hitomi a list and proof of leaving the village before turning into smoke and disappearing.
Shadow Clone! Tong narrowed her eyes and looked at the mission list in her hand.
[Mission: Hunt down the traitor Kitazawa Takeshi.]
Kitazawa Takeshi: 28 years old, elite chuunin, skilled in water escape ninjutsu. He was an S-rank traitor Orochimaru's spy in Koba. He has now defected, carrying a large amount of information left behind by Orochimaru's previous human experiments.
[Mission Details: Kill the traitor Kitazawa Takeshi, retrieve the information and hand it over to the Root Division.]
[Mission Level: B]
It was a short introduction, followed by a dense group of boys, introducing Kitazawa Xiong's preferences, habits, and the direction of his defection.
Tong wasn't surprised that there was a quest. Although it wasn't a war era, there were still quests. As a member of the Root Clan, he wouldn't be given any time to grow. The growth of the Root Clan was through killing. A good kid like the Ninja School wasn't the style of a group trove.
Tuan Zang was a black-bellied old man. He was different from Yuan Fei and Sun Slash. What he believed in was to rule the world with violence. Therefore, his subordinates had to be a group of emotionless killing machines. Ninjas didn't need emotions.
After a simple packing up, they carried the ninja knife on their backs. Tong and Kaede took out their masks and put them on before setting off.
After passing through the inspection of the two ninjas, Chu Yun and Zi Tie, they ran towards Tian Zhiguo.
In his memory, Tian Zhiguo was the place where Orochimaru Yinren Village was established. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with Kitazawa Takeshi heading towards Tian Zhiguo.
They did not stop for a rest along the way. At most, they would stop to eat something or drink some water to maintain their strength.
Finally, just as they were about to leave the border of the Fire Country, they caught up to Kitazawa Takeshi.
" Water Evasion-Water Flow Technique."
Tong and Kaede were running when a sound rang out. Following that, a stream of water swept towards the two of them.
Tong and Kaede immediately jumped to the sides, their backs facing each other as they observed the person who had ambushed them.
"What?" The voice spoke again. His tone was a little angry and disdainful.
"I thought someone important was sent to kill me. So it was actually two little brats. Lord Orochimaru's decision was indeed correct. Mu Ye should not exist anymore."
As he spoke, a figure walked out from behind a rock.
He looked exactly like Kitazawa Takeshi.
Tong narrowed her eyes. This Kitazawa Xiong was quite intelligent. He actually knew how to hide his sneak attack.
He glanced at Kaede and realized that he was also looking at him.
At this moment, Tong somehow understood Kaede's meaning. He nodded slightly at Kaede, indicating that he understood.
" Alright, it's time to send you on your way." Kitazawa Takeshi grinned, but his eyes were unusually serious. He knew the strength of the Muye Dark Group, so he did not dare to be careless.
Kitazawa Sho formed a seal with his hands and joined them together.
"Water Evasion-Moonwater Technique."
Immediately, the air around him became moist, and a wave of water that extended for more than ten meters spread towards Tong and Kaede like a waterfall.
At the same time that Kitazawa Takeshi formed his hand seal, Tong and Kaede also moved.
Their speed was no slower than Kitazawa Takeshi, and they completed the ninjutsu almost at the same time.
" Fire Escape, Grand Fireball Technique."
" Lightning Escape, Lightning Escape Stimulation Technique."
