Two days later, in a canyon in the Fire Country, Lu Yi was caught in a bitter battle. He was not in a good state at the moment. The clean clothes he wore before he left the house had turned into a beggar's outfit. His body was covered in wounds, and even the sword in his hand was broken in half.
Lu Yi cursed under his breath,""What kind of monster is this? It was neither a chakra nor a monster aura. Just its physical body alone was already so strong. Since when was there such a monster in the Naruto World?”
That's right, Lu Yi's opponent was not a human, but a monster.
This monster had a huge body, and when it stood up, it was as tall as a two-story building. It had the head of a lion, but there was a sharp horn on its forehead. Its entire body was covered in silver-gray fur, and each strand of hair was like a steel needle, forming a soft armor with astonishing defensive power. Its four limbs were strong and powerful, and each strike could easily shatter the rocks.
Why was it that Lu Yi was only at the peak of the Foundation Building realm? If one were to calculate based on the amount of internal strength, he was not even at the Jounin level, but he could easily kill enemies at the Jounin level? The reason was that no matter how powerful a ninja was, their bodies were still that of mortals. As the saying goes, no matter how good your kung fu is, you're still afraid of a kitchen knife. Against Lu Yi's swift sword, most Jounin would not be able to dodge it. And if he didn't manage to dodge it, he would definitely die if he didn't have enough defense.
But now, Lu Yi had encountered his most difficult enemy.
Let's call it a Single-Horned Gray Lion!
The Single-Horned Gray Lion's defense was astonishing. Lu Yi's sword could not break through its defense. Even the power of the heavy sword could not bring enough damage to it.
And this monster could use its fur as a weapon to shoot out, and it was unlimited. These feathers were poisonous. Even if one was hit by just one, it would cause one's movement to slow down. If many were hit, it was very likely that they would be paralyzed. The most annoying thing was that this poison seemed to have a special energy that made Lu Yi's antidote completely ineffective.
Not only that, the horn on the monster's forehead could also release electricity at an extremely fast speed. Fortunately, there was a warning before the discharge of electricity, so Lu Yi was able to dodge it every time. But later on, the monster learned to be smart. It only waited until Lu Yi was hit by the needles and became stiff before it discharged the electricity. At that time, it would not be so easy for Lu Yi to dodge. Hence, Lu Yi's current appearance as a beggar was created.
"No, if this continues, I'll be exhausted to death by it! He had to find its weakness! I don't believe that such a huge monster doesn't have a weakness!”
Blood God!
Although Lu Yi had tried his best not to use the moves of the Asura Blood Kill Scripture, he had no choice but to use it this time. Anyway, he was covered in injuries now. He couldn't let his blood flow in vain, right?
As his cultivation advanced, Lu Yi could now summon 15 Clones of Blood God. The 16 of them charged at the One-Horned Gray Lion, surrounding it from all directions, then brandishing their swords at the same time.
Scattered Sword Form-Moonlight Fragments!
Every time Lu Yi swung his sword, a large amount of crescent-shaped sword Qi that emitted a faint moon-like glow would be thrown out. The Single-Horned Gray Lion was instantly enveloped by the sword Qi. The dazzling light of the sword qi covered its huge body.
"Roar!" The Single-Horned Gray Lion roared at the sky and released a large amount of electric current, instantly killing half of Lu Yi's Clones of Blood God.
"F * ck!" Lu Yi cursed in his heart. However, he had also found the weakness of the Single-Horned Gray Lion. On the top of its head, there was a white fur that was different in color from the rest of its body.
The Single-Horned Gray Lion's defense was astonishing. Even if Lu Yi's sword aura was aimed at its eyes, it would only close its eyes. However, only this white-haired unit would take the initiative to avoid it. Even when the sword Qi hit that area, they would show a slightly painful expression.
Therefore, that place must be its weakness.
But here came the problem. The test just now had already proved that even if that was its weakness, it would not be enough to rely on the sword aura alone unless it was directly inserted into it at close range. However, if he did that, he would have to bear the risk of being struck by lightning at close range.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained! If he didn't fight, he wouldn't even have a chance of winning!”Lu Yi gritted his teeth and continued to charge and stab at the One-Horned Gray Lion's head.
"Crackle!" As expected, the Single-Horned Gray Lion immediately released a bolt of lightning that was thicker than Lu Yi's leg.
Blood Shadow Doppelganger!
The lightning struck Lu Yi, and he burst like a bubble. In the next moment, he appeared at the back of the One-Horned Gray Lion's head.
"Crackle!"
Blood Shadow Doppelganger!
The Horned Gray Lion had failed to hit anyone after a few consecutive Blood Shadow Doppelgangers. It was obvious that it was getting impatient.
"Roar!" Another furious roar released a large amount of lightning.
"A chance!" Lu Yi's eyes narrowed. He instantly activated Blood Shadow Steps and moved behind the One-Horned Gray Lion's horn. Seizing the opportunity, he stabbed the broken sword in his hand into its weak point.
"Roar!" The Single-Horned Gray Lion immediately howled in pain.
"One more time!" Lu Yi shouted and thrust the sword into its head.
"Gah!" The One-Horned Gray Lion's roar stopped abruptly, and its aura gradually disappeared.
"Success!" Lu Yi was delighted. However, extreme joy turned into sorrow. The One-Horned Gray Lion's horn actually erupted with lightning like a sea of lightning after its death. Lu Yi was caught off guard and was unable to dodge it completely.
"Ah!" Lu Yi let out an intense scream.
The lightning continued for a whole minute, and Lu Yi continued to strike for another minute. When the lightning dissipated, the One-Horned Gray Lion's body fell to the ground with a loud bang. Lu Yi had already been electrocuted into charcoal and was thrown out at the same time as the One-Horned Gray Lion fell.
After a long time, Lu Yi's body moved and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Damn it! I almost died!"
When the sea of lightning erupted, Lu Yi had continuously summoned the Clones of Blood God to form a meat shield. Then, he had activated his True Qi shield to the maximum. In just a minute, his internal strength had been exhausted.
Right now, Lu Yi did not even have the strength to stand up. He could only try his best to change into a comfortable position and slowly recuperate.
By the second day, his internal strength had almost recovered, and there would be no side effects. As for the injuries on his body, it wouldn't heal so quickly. It would be fine as long as he could move freely.
Lu Yi approached the corpse of the One-Horned Gray Lion and clicked his tongue in wonder."It's such a hot day, but he's been dead for a day and still hasn't stank. Speaking of which, this fellow didn't look like a native creature of this world, right?”
Lu Yi was not in the mood to find out where this monster came from, because there must be a reason behind it. And the starting point of the matter was probably the whirlpool Kushina!
Uzumaki Kushina was the mother of the future protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki. If she flapped her wings and caused Naruto Uzumaki to disappear, the Heavenly Axiom might directly punish Lu Yi.
The heavenly tribulation was a test, a living hope. Heavenly punishment was a punishment that would not rest until one of them died.
(Tell me the truth. Since I'm already related to Uzumaki Kushina, I definitely won't let her go. Don't say that I'm giving my daughter away.))
He didn't want to think about these messy things first. Now, he had to think about how to deal with this big guy in front of him.
"The fur can be made into flying needles, the skin can be made into leather armor, the horn can be made into weapons, and…"
"Gululu!"
"Alright then! Eat first. I wonder if its meat tastes good? Can I eat it?"
The dead Single-Horned Gray Lion was at Lu Yi's mercy. Lu Yi pulled the broken sword out of its head again. Then, he took the opportunity to pierce through its fur and cut off a piece of meat, preparing to roast it. In order to prevent the meat from being poisoned, Lu Yi only cut off a small piece.
He started the fire and sprinkled the seasoning. After a while, the fragrant smell of roasted meat assailed his nose.
"What a unique fragrance! It smells so good. There shouldn't be any problem, right?”Lu Yi muttered as he wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
When it was about time, Lu Yi felt a chill down his spine. He then took a big bite and chewed hard. Suddenly, Lu Yi's expression changed...
"Bah! Bah! What was this? Why does it taste so bad?"
Not only was it unpalatable, it was simply inedible! The meat juice splattered as he bit into it, but the taste was like a piece of rusty iron soaked in the sea for a year. The texture of the meat was like eating dry wood... No, dry wood was better than this. It was like eating iron wire, and rusty iron wire!
Lu Yi had eaten all kinds of dark cuisine on Earth, so he believed that his tolerance for food was much greater than the average person. However, he really couldn't accept the meat of the One-Horned Gray Lion.
The Single-Horned Gray Lion didn't have any inner cores or poison sacs, but its fur was pretty good. He had experienced it himself. After being stabbed by the Flying Hair Needle, it was as if he had been injected with anesthetic, and the medicinal effect was very strong. Tsunei might like it.
Although it was just some fur, it was not small. Fortunately, he had made a few interspatial bags before, so it was still possible to add some fur.
As for the rest, it seemed that only the horn was worth looking at. However, it was too big. Even if it was removed, it would not be easy to bring it back. However, Lu Yi found something good in the horn-bone marrow rich in thunder attribute energy! This thing might be a good thing for refining pills.
As a self-cultivator, he would definitely carry some jade bottles or jade boxes with him for storing spirit herbs. After collecting all the bone marrow, Lu Yi returned to Muye.
When he entered Muye, he clearly felt that the atmosphere in the village was a little abnormal. The ninjas all had solemn expressions and hurried footsteps. Some of the villagers were confused, while others were slightly flustered.
Lu Yi stopped a passing ninja and asked,""What happened? Why was everyone so nervous?”
The ninja replied," Sanin Village and Yanin Village have officially declared war on Koba!"”
"Together?"
"Yes, I am! The two villages declared war on Mu Ye at the same time. Several ninja squads had already been ambushed.”
"I understand." Lu Yi had long known that war was coming, so he did not find it strange when it would happen. It was just that Lu Yi's cultivation was currently at a bottleneck. In the huge whirlpool of war, he seemed a little weak.
(Because all I know about the first, second, and third battles before the official start of the plot are just a few words, I'm too lazy to study them in depth, so I just wrote them casually according to my own imagination. If there was anything that went against the official settings, then just treat it as a butterfly effect! However, I don't intend to write about the war in detail, so it shouldn't affect me much.)
