Dedale's mission this time was to escort the princess back to the Daming Manor safely, and he should immediately return to the hidden village.
Because of his injuries, no one would say anything if he stayed in the Daming Manor to recuperate, but now that the Medical Ninja had confirmed that Dedale's body had basically recovered, there was no reason for him to stay.
Moreover, who would indulge in the beauty of flowers and moonlight when doing great things? That was the grave of a hero.
"Brother Dedale, you must visit me often.”Keiko Naka's eyes were brimming with tears as she tightly grabbed Dedale's arm, refusing to let go.
"I will, I promise you." Dedale gently hugged the little princess's back.
The white-haired old man and the medical captain who had treated Dedale had also come to send him off. Their names hadn't appeared from the beginning to the end. The current Dedale wasn't qualified in his eyes, even though he had risked his life to save his precious daughter.
"Pay attention to your safety along the way. Luck can't always favor you. Avoidance is sometimes a strategy.”The medic captain patted Dedale's shoulder, his words full of meaning.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Dedale could vaguely guess that this journey wouldn't be too peaceful.
Knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain, he went to the tiger mountain.
Dedale didn't have a choice. Detonating Clay could indeed increase his strength, but this alone was a bit weak. Moreover, he would use this spell often in the future, so it couldn't be used as a trump card. Dedale had to go back and get the promise of the third-generation leader's reward for this mission: Earth Evasion and Light and Heavy Rock.
Dedale's Chakra now had three attributes, but he only knew Earth Evasion Ninjutsu and didn't have any understanding of Fire Evasion or Wind Evasion. He had to get his hands on these two ninjutsu. What Dedale wanted to obtain the most was the Dust Escape. It was a heaven-defying existence that surpassed the Bloodstain Boundary, but it would probably be quite troublesome.
It was the best time to go back. After all, Dedale was still the village's ninja, even though there were unknown dangers on the road. If he defected, he would completely fall out with the village. There would be no room for negotiation, and he would never be able to obtain those ninjutsu techniques.
Even if Dedale's current strength had reached the peak of the original novel, he wouldn't be a match for the third generation. This wasn't to boost the morale of others and diminish his own prestige. People should have confidence, but they couldn't be arrogant.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Dedale set off on the journey back to the village. He sped along the way without stopping. Of course, he didn't choose to take the main road that he had taken when escorting the princess. That would take a long detour, which didn't suit Dedale, who was short on time. Dedale returned in a straight line. Although he had to climb over some steep peaks from time to time, the dangers in the eyes of ordinary people weren't difficult for a ninja like Dedale.
Six hours later, Dedale saw an endless forest in front of him, which made him happy.
Most of the Earth Country was made up of barren cliffs, and the rocky mountains within the country existed along the borders, preventing the Earth Country from communicating with other countries. In addition, the cold wind from the north would cross the mountains and blow the tiny rocks to every corner of the Country of Earth. In such a harsh environment, it was very difficult for a seedling to grow into a towering tree, not to mention a large forest like the Fire Country.
When you saw desolate rock walls every day, the world was filled with the color of dust, and suddenly a lush green forest appeared in front of you, you would be as happy as Dedale.
Dedale was a little tired after rushing for such a long time. The feng shui of this place was pretty good, so he found a big tree and jumped onto a thick branch. He sat down and ate the delicious pastries that Keiko Naka had prepared for him.
As Dedale leaned against the tree trunk to rest, a dark figure loomed on the other side of the tree trunk. He wore a somewhat funny doll mask with two rocks printed on the top.
"Dedale, we suspect that you have something to do with the theft of the forbidden spell scroll. Please come back with us to assist in the investigation.”
"You found me so quickly. I thought I would have to wait a little longer.”Dedale maintained his posture as he leisurely said.
"Oh, you knew we were looking for you?”The Puppet Dark Operation didn't appear too impatient. In his eyes, Dedale was already a turtle in a jar, and he definitely wouldn't be able to escape from his fingers.
"Do you really think that I didn't know that the Dark Group was monitoring me while I was injured?”Dedale sneered." For a child like me, you actually dispatched so many Dark Forces. Do you think highly of me, or are you really useless?"”
The surrounding branches were filled with ninjas. They were dressed in similar colors and moved in unison, surrounding Dedale. Counting carefully, there were actually as many as six.
"What we are interested in is not you, but something on you. If you know what's good for you, hand it over and we can consider letting you go for the time being.”Elites were elites, and the Puppet Dark Group's tone didn't change in the slightest when faced with Dedale's ridicule.
Perhaps it was because his own people had already surrounded Dedale, but he didn't say anything and directly stated his purpose for coming. But he had hidden one thing. Once he got what he needed, he wouldn't let Dedale go, but rather kill him!
"Is this it?" Dedale stretched out his right hand, and a mouth that was chewing something suddenly appeared in his clean palm.”
Dedale waved his right hand, and several small grasshoppers flew out of his mouth and quickly jumped toward the Dark Group members surrounding him. At the same time, Dedale's body leaned against the tree trunk and fell to the ground.
"Ha!" "Be careful!"
Boom, boom, boom... A series of explosions rang out in the forest, startling countless birds that were resting there. Broken branches fell down one after another.
"Yes, yes, the commotion caused is quite big. It seems that the amount of chakras injected is quite large.”Dedale landed on the ground in a carefree manner as he looked at the thick smoke billowing above his head.
One figure after another fell to the ground behind Dedale. Compared to Dedale's elegance, they looked a little disheveled.
"It seems that the information was correct. You really have mastered the forbidden technique of mixing chakras into matter.”The Puppet Dark Group panted heavily." If you hand over the cultivation method now, we'll let you go. I believe you know what the consequences will be if the village finds out that you secretly learned the forbidden technique.”
As he spoke, he pulled out the ninjato on his back. He had also become more careful with Dedale's sneak attack.
"You want to threaten me with just the few of you?”Dedale had a disdainful expression." Killing you is as easy as slaughtering dogs.”
As he spoke, the ground beneath the Dark Group's feet loosened, and Dedale's next wave of attacks followed.
