Time was like sand in one's hand. The more strength one used, the faster it passed. A year and a half passed in the blink of an eye.
In some corners of Hidden Rock Village, one could still see some wanted posters that had been corroded by the wind. On the posters, one could vaguely see a handsome young man with long golden hair.
Most of the villagers in Hidden Rock Village recognized this young man, not because he was once the disciple of the third generation Medo Shadow, but because of this wanted notice that had been modified many times.
Many villagers remembered that when this wanted notice was first posted, the young man was only classified as a B-class traitor by the village. However, in less than two weeks, the wanted level went from B-class to A-class.
After asking some ninjas who knew the inside story, they found out that the young man in the painting had committed a big crime outside. In just a week, he razed the Daming Prefecture of the Country of Tea and the Country of Rivers to the ground.
Borrowing Dedale's bad behavior, the third-generation Earth Shadow had deliberately raised his wanted list to attract more elite ninjas to surround Dedale.
When the busy villagers almost forgot about this matter, the wanted notice was replaced again. The young man's wanted rank was raised from A to S.
Oh my god, what kind of concept was [S] class? That was a treatment that only Shadow class Ninja Traitors could enjoy. Could it be that a ten-year-old youth like him already possessed the strength of a Shadow class?
The confused villagers looked for the people who knew the inside story. It turned out that in the past two months, the young man had done many earth-shattering things. First, he killed Dongmao, Xidu, Nanwu, and Beizi, who were known as the 'Thunder Evasion Four-man Team', the famous Ninja Twelve Guardians of the Country of Fire. After that, he sneaked into the Wind Country and assassinated the third-generation Kazuki, who had mastered the special ability to control magnetism and was known as the strongest Kazuki in history. In the end, the third-generation Kazuki was severely injured and fled. He was nowhere to be found.
Due to this incident, the Wind Country had sent people to the Fire Country to persuade them to attack the Earth Country together. Fortunately, the Fire Country's Daimyo and the Third Generation Eye Hokage were rational enough to reject the offer on the grounds that the village had not recovered yet. Otherwise, the Fourth Ninja War would have broken out not long after the Third Ninja War ended.
Hidden Rock Village didn't feel helpless about this troublemaker who had turned the entire Ninja Realm upside down. Although the dirty water couldn't be poured on them, Dedale was still from Hidden Rock Village. Hidden Rock Village had to take a positive stance to quell the anger of Sand Ninja Village. As a result, Dedale's wanted poster, which had been changed for less than two months, had a new change.
Hidden Rock Village hadn't produced a character that could shake the ninja world for many years. Although Dedale was a rebel ninja of the village, it still couldn't offset the fervent attention of the ordinary people of Hidden Rock Village. In this year and a half, his case had always been the best topic of conversation for the villagers.
A large white bird gently glided across the calm water surface, creating ripples as it quickly flew into the distance.
On the back of the giant bird stood a black-robed youth. He was looking into the distance without moving, allowing the warm sea breeze to brush against his face, causing his long golden hair to flutter in the wind.
In the distance, it was a vast expanse of whiteness. The blue sea water was close to the blue sky. It was impossible to tell which was the water and which was the sky. A few seagulls were playing on the surface of the water that was shining with golden scales under the sun, floating left and right.
This was Dedale's first time seeing the sea, but he wasn't too surprised. Anyone who had spent three or four days alone in the Royal Sun would feel the same way.
Dedale slightly moved his stiff body and controlled the giant bird under his feet to reduce its flying speed. He then took out a map from his ninja bag and carefully examined it." Hmm, there's still a day's journey. I have to speed up."”
That's right, Dedale was going to the Water Country, which was separated by a sea to the east of the Fire Country. The Water Country was located on an independent archipelago, and the only way to reach it was by boat. Of course, if you were willing, you could also spend a large number of chakras to walk over. These two methods were too time-consuming, so Dedale, who had the ability to ride in the air, naturally chose the most convenient and fastest way to fly over.
After defecting from the village, Dedale had joined the ranks of bounty hunters in order to quickly increase his fame and attract the attention of the Whirlpool Gate. Of course, Dedale wasn't doing the work of an ordinary bounty hunter. He was serving the underground exchange that Corners Capital frequented.
The underground exchange was a place where the ninja world hired 'killers' to settle personal grudges. It was a little similar to the mercenary union in the west, but its main business was killing people. As long as you could afford it, even if it was the assassination of the Ninjutsu professor, the underground exchange would help you publish the mission.
Of course, this was just a statement. Even if the third generation Naruto's head was really auctioned off by some tycoon, no bounty hunter would accept the mission. No one would go against money, and no one would go against their own life. They had to earn money that they could spend.
Dedale had come to the Water Country this time to kill the 'Ruthless Duo' of the Hidden Fog's Seven Blades, who had the explosive blade, Flying Mist, Wuli Jinba, and the long blade, Stitching Needle, Chestnut Graupel Chuanmaru. Their heads were worth 40 million taels on the black market.
High-priced missions didn't come every time. So far, after dozens of missions, the only targets that Dedale was satisfied with were the Twelve Ninja Warriors and the third-generation Eye Wind Shadow.
The third-generation Mu Fengying was the first of the five great shadows to appear on the underground exchange's leaderboard. No one dared to accept it for two months because it was too difficult to kill the five great shadows. You would not only have to face the third-generation Mu Fengying, but also the ninjas of the entire Hidden Sand Village. It was impossible to do it alone.
Dedale dared to take it because he could fly. Dedale, who had the advantage of air and ground, used various methods to lure the third-generation Wind Shadow out of the hidden village.
Because Dedale was the only invader, the powerful third-generation Mu Fengying didn't inform the village and came out alone to fight.
The third-generation Mu Fengying, who had underestimated Dedale's strength, had paid a heavy price. He was heavily injured, and his left arm had been blown off. He had used a secret technique to escape Dedale's pursuit.
Thus, Dedale was speechless. He had only injured the third-generation Wind Shadow, and after Wind Shadow escaped, Dedale had given up on the mission because he couldn't find him. But now, the Hidden Sand Village had placed all the responsibility of the third-generation Wind Shadow's disappearance on Dedale. If it wasn't for the fact that he had successfully exchanged his arm for 50 million taels (300 million taels per head), Dedale, who hadn't gotten any benefits but had been punished, would have definitely caused a huge ruckus in the Hidden Sand Village.
