"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Xuan Zang hadn't even made a move when he heard the sound of a saber being drawn.
He turned around and saw that the servants he thought were holding tachi in their hands, their eyes sharp.
"Kill these traitors and protect the glory of Lord Zaochun!”
The leader shouted and rushed out to meet the enemies coming down from the mountain.
The number of enemies was about four to five times that of the " servants " who had followed the convoy, but there was no fear in their eyes.
"I'm sorry."
Xuan Zang stood in the carriage and heard what Zichun Xiahu said.
"Isn't politics like this? Benefits are the strongest fetters!"
After Xuan Zang finished speaking, Zaochun Xiahu's body trembled, and his eyes closed as if he had accepted his fate.
"I originally thought of Shimada as my successor. I don't have any children, and I was looking forward to letting him take over my position in a few years. Unexpectedly! Haha."
Early Spring's Tiger's voice trembled as he clenched his hands tightly on both sides of his thighs.
"He's here!"
Xuan Zang muttered.
"Bang!"
With a stomp of his foot, his entire body shot out like an arrow. The carriage shook violently under the impact.
"I didn't expect you to be a ninja.”
The person who spoke was a ninja wearing leather armor and a kurijinin mudra on his head. He held a long sword that was half the height of a person.
"Traitor?"
Xuan Zang landed in front of the enemy.
"Hmph, brat, prepare to die!”
"Ninja Technique, Fog Concealment Technique!"
The enemy formed a ninja mudra, and a white fog began to spread around.
"How do you want to die? Muye's ninja."
The voice came from all directions. Xuan Zang stopped and observed his surroundings.
He knew about this ninjutsu. He had used it when he was fighting against Kakashi's team. He summoned fog to block the enemy's vision.
Accompanying it was the " Fog Concealment-Silent Killing Technique." This ninjutsu technique could conceal one's aura, making it even more difficult for enemies who had already blocked their vision to track them.
"Shura Eye!"
Xuan Zang didn't dare to be careless. This renegade ninja was not weak, and he was good at assassination. He had to be careful.
"Swoosh!"
A long saber suddenly appeared in front of Xuan Zang's chest. Xuan Zang quickly retreated, pulling out the saber from his waist and placing it across his chest.
"Interesting!"
Fog's voice sounded again, but Xuan Zang still could not determine the enemy's position.
"Do you choose to protect yourself? Or to protect the client?"
The enemy's voice lured Xuan Zang.
"Hmm?"
Xuan Zang suddenly turned around and quickly headed toward the location of the tiger in early spring.
Soon, Xuan Zang sensed a familiar aura and quickly landed beside Zaochun Xiahu.
"Stay here and don't move."
Early Spring's Tiger seemed to be startled by Xuan Zang's sudden appearance, but when he heard that it was Xuan Zang, he patted his chest and calmed down.
"Is this Hidden Fog's assassination technique?"
As he spoke, Zaochun Xiahu leaned closer to Xuan Zang. Xuan Zang ignored him and continued to observe his surroundings with a serious expression, guarding against the enemy's attacks.
Zaochun Xiahu revealed a palpitating expression as he closed the distance between him and Xuan Zang.
When the two of them were less than half a meter apart, Early Spring Tiger revealed a ferocious expression and took out a handful of bitter pills from his sleeve.
"Swoosh!"
"Go to hell!"
"Puff!"
His head fell to the ground. Early Spring Tiger's head fell to the ground.
"Do you think I'm an idiot?"
Xuan Zang turned around, the ninjato in his hand was still flashing with lightning.
Early Spring Tiger had also turned into a puddle of water and disappeared.
It seemed that this imposter was just a water clone of the enemy.
"Wind Escape, Great Breakthrough!"
Xuan Zang didn't want to continue playing this boring game of hide-and-seek.
A gust of wind blew out from Xuan Zang's mouth, instantly sweeping away the surrounding fog.
"Hmm?"
The enemy appeared a few meters away from Xuan Zang, and his body was covered in a layer of black-purple chakra.
"Then it must be the Silent Killing Technique."
Xuan Zang remembered that he had used this ninjutsu before.
"Plop!"
Seeing the enemy's figure, Xuan Zang no longer hesitated and rushed forward.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw the battle situation on the other side. Hatsune Haruka and the samurai named Shimada were already fighting each other.
"What?"
Before Fog Shinobu could react to the fact that his water clone had been seen through, the fog around him disappeared, exposing him to the enemy.
"Damn it!"
Fog cursed when he saw Xuan Zang coming at him.
However, his movements weren't slow either, and he also charged towards Xuan Zang.
Since the assassination technique was ineffective, he would fight it head-on. He did not believe that a Jounin who was proficient in killing techniques would lose to a young kid.
"Ding!"
The two blades collided, and their faces were pressed together.
"Yes! Those eyes?"
Fog looked into Genzang's eyes.
"Bang!"
He pushed his right knee upward, and Xuan Zang collided with the enemy's left leg.
"Hiss hiss!"
All parts of his body burst out with the Thousand Birds Flow. Xuan Zang did not retreat but advanced instead, pressing down on his body and greeting the enemy.
"Bang!"
"Ding!"
"Crackle!"
The two continued to fight. The enemy's rich combat experience made Xuan Zang suffer a lot. Every attack was aimed at some tricky positions.
"Swoosh!"
Xuan Zang's saber drew a white mark in the air with electric current.
"Bang!"
In the gap after he swung his saber, another leg kicked over.
At this moment, his body was completely unable to dodge. Xuan Zang had no choice but to use the Thousand Birds Flow again, forcing the foot to withdraw.
"Humph!"
Fog Ninja also felt that Xuan Zang was difficult to deal with.
Xuan Zang frowned as he quickly pulled away.
"Swoosh!"
He waved his saber in front of him a few times, and the Thousand Birds Style surged continuously.
"Pa!"
Xuan Zang continued to attack quickly. This time, his speed was even faster. The electric current surging on his body gathered into the shape of an armor.
"Swoosh!"
The enemy didn't manage to dodge the attack completely, and it still cut his chest, leaving a gaping wound.
"Deng Deng Deng!"
Quickly closing in on the enemy, Xuan Zang continued to attack, not giving Kirin a chance to catch his breath.
The saber was like an inescapable net, covering the enemy inside. For a moment, the enemy had no strength to fight back and was passively subjected to the fierce attack of Xuan Zang.
"Ha!"
The knife pierced through the enemy's thigh, opening a bloody hole. Blood gushed out.
"Ah!"
Fog could not bear the pain and screamed in shock.
"Buzz!"
The moment he pulled out his saber, the Thousand Birds Style erupted once again, causing his expression to change drastically.
"Swoosh!"
Even in such a situation, Kirin still seized the opportunity to counterattack. He swung the saber in his hand and aimed it at Xuan Zang's neck.
Sherrunyan had already noticed the enemy's movements. Xuan Zang raised his head and dashed backward.
"Damn it!"
Mist Ninja covered his thigh, and blood gushed out from his wound.
His vicious eyes stopped on Xuan Zang for a moment. He rolled his eyes and seemed to have the intention to escape. However, he was still injured. How could he escape?
Looking around, it seemed like he saw a chance of survival.
"Whoosh!"
Due to the injury on his thigh, Mist Shinobu was half-kneeling on the ground. At this time, he stabbed his knife into the ground and supported himself to stand up.
"Muye's ninja, I withdraw from this employment. Please let me go, how about it?”
At this moment, the enemy revealed a stiff smile and flattered Xuan Zang.
"Aren't you thinking too much? There's only one way out at this time, and that is death!”
Xuan Zang turned a deaf ear and charged at the enemy again.
"You forced me to do this!"
The enemy gritted his teeth and threw out a few detonation talismans from the bag behind him. He threw them at Xuan Zang with Kunai.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Hmm?"
Quickly dodging the detonation talisman, Xuan Zang saw that the enemy's figure did not come towards him or directly escape to the back. Instead, they went towards the carriage over there.
There was a figure huddled in the front of the car, trembling slightly. It was the mustached butler.
"Don't come over. If you take another step forward, I'll kill him!”
Kirin rushed to the front of the carriage and kidnapped the butler with the mustache. He let out an uneasy roar.
Xuan Zang stood still and watched the enemy's next performance without batting an eyelid.
"Haha."
Seeing that Xuan Zang had really stood still, he couldn't help but laugh.
"If you let me leave, I will let this guy go.”
Kuai was pressed against the moustache man's throat, and the tip of it had already pierced into his flesh as the moustache man trembled. Traces of blood flowed down his skin.
"Uhh!"
The man with the moustache was so scared that he couldn't speak. His body couldn't help but tremble. He was just a butler!
"Oh? If you have any other ideas, you can tell me and let me hear them.”
The enemy revealed a ferocious expression. He could hear the teasing and teasing in Xuan Zang's tone.
"Damn it!"
As he spoke, he was about to wipe off the moustache and think of another way to escape.
Kuai suddenly jerked, and his mustached eyes revealed despair. He then closed his eyes.
"Buzz!"
A blue-white figure flashed past. This time, his speed was unprecedentedly fast. He was actually faster than Ku Wuci.
As Xuan Zang moved forward, he could see the enemy's dilated pupils and the mustache on his slightly pursed lips.
"Ding!"
A saber appeared under Kunai, and the enemy was immediately sent flying by a huge force. It was Xuan Zang's kick.
"Puff!"
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the enemy finally reacted, but it was too late.
Pushing the moustache away, Xuan Zang stomped his feet and caught up with the enemy's flying figure again.
"Haha! Die together!"
As expected of a traitor. Seeing that he could not escape, he revealed a crazy expression.
"Crash!"
Pulling off his leather armor, he revealed his body that was wrapped in the Detonation Talisman. The enemy had activated the Detonation Talisman with a chakra.
"Ssss!"
A dangerous aura began to spread, and Xuan Zang's expression changed drastically.
"With so many Detonation Talismans, even if I were to take them myself, I would only be able to go see Immortal Six Paths.”
Xuan Zang turned his body, intending to dodge.
"Where are you running to?"
He was going to die, so how could he not drag someone down with him? The Renjin hugged Xuan Zang the moment Xuan Zang made an evasive move, even if Xuan Zang's saber slashed at him.
"Damn it!"
Xuan Zang's body burst out with a strong Thousand Birds Flow, which shocked the enemy who was hugging him tightly, but he still didn't let go of his hands.
"Bang!"
The Detonation Talisman exploded in the blink of an eye!
A huge pit appeared on the spot, as well as burning torn clothes. Xuan Zang's saber was stabbed not far from the pit, but it was actually intact.
"Xuan Zang?"
The man with the moustache stood not far away. The explosion just now did not cause much damage. It only scared him so much that he fell to the ground.
The last thing he saw was the enemy hugging Xuan Zang, followed by an explosion.
"Dead?"
The man with the moustache felt a little uncomfortable. After all, Xuan Zang had died protecting his master.
"Plop!"
In the middle of the pit, the ground split open, revealing a small hole. A hand stretched out from inside.
"Hmm?"
The moustached man crawled to the side of the pit and looked at the small hole. At this time, he was actually not afraid that the one who survived was an enemy.
"Ding!"
Even though Hatsune Haruka didn't look like much, he had the upper hand in the battle with the samurai named Shimada.
Although he had some injuries on his body, it was obvious that Shimada's injuries were more serious. There was a large wound on his abdomen.
"Hehehe!"
Shimada seemed to have seen Genzo perish together with the ninjas he had hired, and the samurai he had brought were also killed by his subordinates. He knew that the situation was over.
"General is still like the heavens, always turning misfortune into good fortune. However, the final victory of this battle will not belong to you, General.”
Shimada clutched his abdomen and kept talking.
"You don't have to worry about that, Shimada.”
"Xuan Zang!"
A surprised voice came from the other end. Early Spring Tiger recognized it as the butler with the moustache.
"Phew!"
Pushing away the soil covering his body, Xuan Zang pulled himself out with his hands and breathed in the fresh air.
"It's good to be alive!"
Xuan Zang rolled over and laid on the ground. Countless wounds of various sizes appeared on his body, looking very scary.
At the instant of the explosion, Xuan Zang, who could not escape, could only choose to take it head-on. He used the maximum "Thunder Escape·Chakra Mode" to cover his body with a layer of lightning armor. This time, because Xuan Zang used a huge amount of Chakra, the armor directly materialized, just like real armor.
This was also the reason why Xuan Zang didn't die on the spot. However, in that situation, even such a powerful defense couldn't be completely spared. The "Thunder Armor" was still shattered, and the damage still affected Xuan Zang.
Xuan Zang used the Earth Evasion Ninjutsu to dig a hole under his feet. When the enemy died and the explosion was still going on, he hid inside.
"Xuan Zang, are you alright?"
The man with the moustache saw that it was Xuan Zang who had crawled out of the hole and quickly ran over to help him up.
"Don't move, let me lie down for a while!"
Xuan Zang's voice was still very strong. The moustache man listened to him and didn't touch Xuan Zang.
On the other side, Early Spring Tiger smiled.""Looks like the ninja you hired didn't get what he wanted.”
"Humph!"
Shimada continued his battle stance.
After relaxing on the ground for a while, Xuan Zang got up on his own. The injuries on his body looked serious, but they were just some marks left by some splashing and burning injuries. They didn't really pose much of a threat to Xuan Zang.
The chakras in his body had also recovered to above the warning line after a short period of replenishment.
"Bah!"
At this moment, Xuan Zang spat out a mouthful of saliva that was mixed with soil.
He held his knees and slowly stood up.
Xuan Zang didn't care that his clothes had become a beggar's outfit. He pulled them off, but some of his wounds were affected, causing him to grimace.
The battle of the " servants " had ended. It was hard to tell that these people were actually quite strong compared to ordinary samurai. More than half of the dozens of samurai that Shimada had brought were killed by these ten people. The rest knelt on the ground and waved the white flag.
Although two of these 'servants' had died, their combat strength was evident.
Shimada also knelt in front of Haruka Izumi. He was not surrendering. At this point, he didn't think he could survive. He was only kneeling because he was beaten.
"Xuan Zang!" Zao Chun Xiahu turned around and nodded at Xuan Zang, who looked miserable and half-naked.
The saber was also retrieved by the moustache man, and it was still hanging on Xuan Zang's waist.
"Kill me, General!"
Shimada's knees were covered in blood from the wound on his abdomen.
At this moment, his face was pale and he looked like he was about to die.
"Shimada!"
Chun Chun seemed to hesitate as the weapon in her hand trembled.
"I don't need your sympathy. Come on!"
Shimada shouted with his last bit of strength. He chose to face death head-on. He didn't feel fear, only relief.
He had made a choice for his own desires. He was already prepared to make the winner king!
"Swoosh!"
The knife slashed down, and the head fell to the ground. Chun Chun Wei's eyes were tightly closed, and his hands were no longer trembling.
"Alright, alright! The battle is over!"
Xuan Zang's tone was relaxed as he spoke in such an atmosphere.
"Clean up the battlefield and bury the dead warriors!”
Zaochun Xihu looked at the few subordinates standing in front of him. There were no more familiar faces.
"Yes, sir!"
The group of " servants " answered in unison, their expressions solemn and serious.
When they were cleaning up the battlefield, Xuan Zang took out his clothes and put them on. He didn't have the attributes of an exhibitionist.
"We still have to remain vigilant. Who knows, there might be enemies?”
Xuan Zang did not care about the power struggle that happened to Zaochun Xiahu. He only wanted to complete his mission.
……
"Continue forward!"
The convoy set off once again, but there were many souls in the mountains. He hoped that they would be reincarnated into a good life in their next life and not have to continue this life of swords and swords.
"Xuan Zang, it's all thanks to you that you got rid of that ninja.”
The carriage continued to move forward. Zaochun said to Xuan Zang who was sitting on the roof of the carriage. At this moment, he was sitting side by side with the moustached man, driving the carriage.
"It's part of the mission."
Xuan Zang sat cross-legged on it, staring ahead.
If he were to drive the carriage in early spring, the speed would be much faster than before. He seemed to want to reach the capital earlier.
Shimada's appearance this time made Zaochun feel that the situation was a little out of his control. He had no choice but to speed up and rush to the capital.
The convoy ran to the black curtain. Everyone ate something and set up camp to rest.
"Are you really not going to eat?"
Zaochun Xiahu brought a large piece of breast meat to Xuan Zang.
"No thanks, I'll eat dry food."
Xuan Zang still maintained his own principles and did not plan to eat anything else during the mission.
"I wonder what the situation in the capital is like now.”
Taking a bite of the meat, Tiger in Early Spring sighed.
After the battle in the afternoon, Xuan Zang suddenly had a little interest in the matter of the tiger in the early spring. After all, it was quite popular for subordinates to hurt each other in ancient dramas.
"There is a minister in the capital who has a grudge against me. This time, he is the one who wants to kill me, but I will not surrender without a fight.”
"Yes!"
Xuan Zang continued to listen.
"For some reason, the great name does not intend to interfere in our matters, so this time, it will be a battle between me and that official.”
"Most of the civil officials in the capital seem to be standing behind him, and I represent the generals of the Fire Country! This time, we won't let him continue to act recklessly. If he wants to continue to be arrogant, he has to step over my body!”
Zaochun Xiahu said in a deep voice and did not continue.
"I'll go and patrol around!"
Xuan Zang stood up and prepared to walk around.
Although he was still injured, Xuan Zang's chakra had almost recovered. A little injury did not affect his movements.
This time, the convoy stopped on a flat ground, but there was still a forest in the east, but it was not on the way of Xuan Zang and the others.
The moonlight was very bright today, scattering sparsely on the earth, but Xuan Zang's mood was not very good.
After patrolling the surroundings, Xuan Zang returned to guard the camp. He had used up a lot of energy during the day. Although he didn't say it, his body was very honest.
Early Spring Tiger and his subordinates had not slept yet. They sat around a few piles of flames and chatted about something.
The moustached man did not join in. He sat on the carriage and looked up at the starry sky with Xuan Zang on the roof.
Speaking of which, the moustached man had also walked between life and death today. If Xuan Zang hadn't given up on saving him, his corpse would have been completely cold by now.
"Xuan Zang, do you think Daren can win when he returns?”
The man with the moustache felt uneasy. Even Shimada, who was highly regarded by Hatsune Haruka, had betrayed his master. He could not imagine what would happen in the capital.
He had followed Zaochun Xiahu all his life, or rather, he and his ancestors were members of the Zaochun family. He could not imagine what would happen to him after Zaochun Xiahu's accident.
Perhaps she followed the tiger in early spring to the same dark place and slept forever?
"My mission doesn't include these things. I only need to send Zaochun Xiahu safely to the capital.”
Xuan Zang said indifferently. He stretched his legs out of the carriage and propped his hands on the edge of the carriage.
"That's true. These things have nothing to do with you, Xuan Zang.”
The man with the moustache smiled, and deep in his eyes, he fell into thought again. Perhaps he was imagining his future.
"I believe that Milord will definitely be able to defeat that person!”
After an unknown period of time, the moustache man seemed to be talking to himself, his voice barely audible.
"Maybe."
Xuan Zang narrowed his eyes and looked at the stars in the sky.
The night ended in a hurry. The moustache man put away his other thoughts and continued to focus on serving Zaochun Xiahu.
The carriage continued to move forward. They did not encounter any enemies on the road for the past few days, so everyone was very at ease.
"Chirp chirp!"
When they passed by a forest, they heard the chirping of birds, which made them sigh at the beauty of the environment.
"Xuan Zang, we'll reach the capital in one more day.”
Early Spring Tiger was full of energy now. He stuck his head out of the car window and said to Xuan Zang who was sitting on the roof.
"Yes!"
Xuan Zang hugged his saber and stared straight ahead.
The faster they reached their destination, the more Xuan Zang couldn't relax. He didn't want to make any mistakes at the last moment.
"Swoosh!"
Xuan Zang stood up. As expected, the more he feared, the more he would get. Many chakra fluctuations appeared in his perception.
"Tigers descend in early spring. You didn't expect this, did you?"
A group of people blocked the road ahead. A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes stood on a carriage and said.
"Stop."
Early Spring Tiger commanded the moustached man to stop the car and walked to the front of the carriage.
"Sanzhi Temple!"
Early Spring Tiger sounded a little surprised.
"I didn't expect that I would personally come to welcome you.”
Sanzhi Temple said.
"I really didn't expect you to have the guts to come to me directly. Do you think those rotten tomatoes beside you can stop me?”
Early Spring Tiger's tone was calm, without the slightest hint of panic from being surrounded.
"Is that so? Seeing you arrive here safely, I knew that Shimada had failed. Do you think I won't make more preparations?"
Sanzhi Temple stared at Zaochun Xiahu as if he was looking at an idiot.
"You're the Leaf Ninja hired by Early Spring, right? He didn't expect to be able to defeat Jounin at such a young age, but that was all for today.”
Raising his head slightly, Sanji Temple said to Xuan Zang who was standing on the roof of the car.
"Pa, pa, pa!"
Sanji Temple clapped their hands, and three ninjas walked out from behind the carriage.
"Kus is really useless. He can't even kill a kid like this.”
The ninja who walked out showed a cruel sneer at Xuan Zang, as if Xuan Zang was already a toy in his hands.
"Brat, you should regret coming to this world!”
The one who spoke was another ninja. His face was pockmarked and he carried a sledgehammer on his back.
"He looks quite handsome. Don't throw him away after killing him, hehe!”
The last ninja revealed a wretched smile. His face was covered in tiny wounds, and as he spoke, it was as if countless worms were wriggling their bodies, making people shudder.
Xuan Zang frowned and remained silent.
The three ninjas that appeared were undoubtedly Jounin. They seemed to be the kind of team that worked together all year round. Genzang did not think that he could protect Tiger Early Spring when fighting with them.
"There are also quite a number of warriors around. There are more than a hundred of them!”
After observing the number of enemies, Early Spring Tiger whispered.
"What should we do, my lord?"
The mustached man shrunk his body and shivered in front of the carriage.
No one said anything. Early Spring's face was also blank. He was not sure.
"I'll hold the three ninjas back, you guys think of a way to break out.”
Xuan Zang jumped down from the carriage, touched his saber, and said in a deep voice. This was all he could do.
Sure enough, this kind of mission was not so easy to complete. Xuan Zang shook his head and immediately adjusted his posture, preparing to meet the enemy.
"Yo, kid, you have guts! I thought you were going to go back to your mother with your tail between your legs!”
The leader of the enemies laughed mockingly, and then began to walk towards Xuan Zang. The other two followed behind. Since they knew that Xuan Zang had the strength of a Jounin, they would not choose to fight alone. They would go up one by one to cause trouble, but it was not impossible to have a good time.
"Hiss hiss!"
The Thousand Birds Art circulated on the saber, and Xuan Zang's Shura Eye was already exposed. His body tensed up, ready for battle.
"Plop!"
When the enemy was still 20 meters away from Xuan Zang, he suddenly accelerated and charged at Xuan Zang.
"Bang!"
Xuan Zang also took a step forward and rushed forward at an extremely fast speed. He stared at the three enemies. Although he knew that he shouldn't rush forward rashly when facing three Jounins and he didn't know anything about them, he knew that he had no other choice but to do this.
His speed was beyond the enemy's expectations. He nimbly passed through the first enemy and slashed at the pockmarked face behind him. Out of the three of them, only he had a weapon. Xuan Zang decided to deal with the heavily armed one first.
"Ding!"
The hammer was placed horizontally in front of Xuan Zang, blocking his saber, but the enemy was still knocked back a few steps.
Pulling out his saber, Xuan Zang prepared to retreat. After all, they were enemies, and it was not good to stay here for long.
"Hmm?"
Xuan Zang couldn't take his saber away. He exerted a lot of strength, but he still couldn't make the saber leave the hammer.
Xuan Zang looked up and saw a smiling face behind the hammer. The face was full of sinister and pockmarks.
"Bang!"
The wretched man took advantage of this opportunity to throw a punch at Xuan Zang.
The ninja who was killed by Xuan Zang also came back to his senses. He took out a Kunai and stabbed Xuan Zang's back.
In an instant, danger lurked everywhere! The attack and defense instantly changed, and Xuan Zang's hair stood on end.
"Plop!"
Xuan Zang had no choice but to let go of the saber in his hand, jump into the air, and fall to the side.
The enemy's attack missed and did not continue to pursue.
"Hehe, kid, how is it?"
As soon as he landed, Xuan Zang heard Ma Zi's voice.
He easily took Xuan Zang's saber from the hammer and waved it in the air with one hand as if he was showing off.
"How are you going to fight without a weapon?”
The wretched man said to Xuan Zang.
"Cut the crap. Let's kill this kid first!”
The leader of the ninjas stared at the unflustered Xuan Zang and said to his companions.
"Phew!"
Xuan Zang looked at Zaochun Xiahu who had also started fighting. He was carrying more than ten people and killing them all. The guy called Sanjiesi stood at the front of the car, looking as if victory was in his grasp. He seemed to have expected Zaochun Xiahu's performance.
The electric current in his body increased explosively. Xuan Zang felt that he had to end the battle as soon as possible. If this continued, he would probably die.
"Die!"
The leader of the ninjas held Kuna and rushed to the front. Ma Zi and the wretched man followed half a meter behind.
"Fire Escape, Grand Fireball Technique!"
He quickly formed a seal with his hands, and the chakra was brewing in his throat. It then turned into a huge ball of fire and was spat out.
"Scatter!"
The enemies split up to avoid Xuan Zang's ninjutsu.
"Thousand Birds!"
He aimed at the ninja leader closest to him and dashed forward with a bright light in his hand!
"Hmm?"
The enemy who had just dodged the fireball had a puzzled look in his eyes when he saw Xuan Zang charging towards him.
He shot back a water ball, but his water ball was very small and couldn't compare to the fireball Xuan Zang had just released.
"Swoosh!"
Xuan Zang's right hand cut a hole in the water ball, splitting it in half.
Xuan Zang didn't slow down and continued to kill.
"Die!"
His right hand was accumulating power behind him, and then he stabbed out like an arrow leaving the bow.
"Buzz!"
His right hand stabbed into a huge hammer, and a small hole appeared on it.
Xuan Zang's body froze, and his eyes narrowed. Then, he jumped back and dodged the wretched man's whip kick.
"Ha, you have some skills!"
The leading ninja said in a deep voice.
He thought he was going to die just now. If it wasn't for his companion's hammer blocking the seemingly powerful ninjutsu attack in front of him, he might have ended his sinful life.
Even so, Xuan Zang's ninjutsu hit his chest with a hammer. Not only did it make his chest feel stuffy, but he was also hit by the electric current that radiated out, making his chest numb.
Fortunately, it was not a fatal injury.
"We have to think of a way to separate them!"
Xuan Zang knew that 1v3 was not a good idea.
"My lord!"
The moustache man shouted in shock.
Out of the corner of his eye, Xuan Zang saw that Zaochun Xihu had been slashed in the back by someone during the siege.
"How annoying!"
Xuan Zang felt a little irritated.
"Bang!"
The hammer hit the place where Xuan Zang had just stood, but Xuan Zang dodged it with one step.
The enemy had launched an attack when he was distracted.
"Bang!"
His right foot carried an electric current as it collided with the wretched man. The electric current caused his face to turn red and his body to twitch slightly.
As expected, the Thousand Birds Style was not easy to deal with. Xuan Zang was quite satisfied with his ninjutsu.
Before Xuan Zang could continue his pursuit, the next ninja's attack arrived in front of him.
The ninjas 'coordination was very coherent, one after another. Although Xuan Zang was not hit, he did not have much chance to counterattack.
"Hehe!"
The wretched man let out a strange laugh and coordinated with the other two to continue attacking. I had already recovered from the Thousand Birds Stream.
"This is the only way!"
Xuan Zang's gaze drifted to the Sanzhi Temple, which was standing at the front of the car, quietly watching the battlefield.
"Pa!"
A punch landed on the face of the pockmarked man who had just rushed in front of him. The electric current raged on his face, leaving a conspicuous mark.
"Bang!"
The ninjas behind him rushed over and attacked again. Xuan Zang, who wanted to throw another punch, was very depressed and quickly dodged.
"Hey!"
The enemy followed suit, and the ninja leader's leg instantly kicked Genzang's back.
"Bang!"
After withstanding this attack, Xuan Zang's wound exploded with an extremely strong electric current.
"Swoosh!"
The enemy quickly dodged.
"Hey!"
The wretched man stepped forward, but Xuan Zang's eyes lit up.
Through the previous battle, Xuan Zang had already felt that this wretched man was the weakest of the three, so Xuan Zang had been waiting for an opportunity.
Now, the wretched man rushed forward excitedly. He thought that his three-man tactic would be able to firmly suppress Xuan Zang.
"Phew!"
Wearing a glove on his fist, covered with a layer of blue chakra, the wretched man faced Xuan Zang and punched out.
"Hiss hiss!"
The electric current was surging, and the Shura Eye was also operating crazily. Xuan Zang was trying to kill this enemy in one strike so that he could take the lead.
"Go to hell!"
Xuan Zang stabbed out with his right hand, electricity surging.
However, the enemy seemed to have expected this. He dodged to the side the moment Xuan Zang counterattacked. He knew that his companion would attack immediately and make Xuan Zang withdraw his attack.
"Swoosh!"
His right hand, which was originally stabbing out, caught the enemy the moment he dodged. At the same time, an extremely strong electric current erupted from his hand.
"Ah!"
The wretched ninja cried out miserably. He was caught off guard and was set up by Xuan Zang.
His aura instantly became low, and a trace of fear appeared on his face.
"Sizzle!"
The other two enemies slowed down when they saw Xuan Zang lock up their companion. Just as they were about to speak, Xuan Zang stabbed his other hand into the enemy's throat with lightning. Blood immediately splashed out, and a puzzled expression froze on the enemy's face.
" You!?"
The pockmarked ninja could not believe it and immediately swung his hammer angrily.
His speed was extremely fast as he headed for Xuan Zang's head. He knew that his companion could no longer be saved, so he did not have to worry about it.
"Bang!"
Xuan Zang pushed the enemy, who was still struggling at death's door, away. The hammer came into close contact with his body, and blood and flesh flew everywhere!
"Tu Wen!"
The ninja leader shouted, but he didn't care about the corpse. Instead, he looked at Xuan Zang.
"You deserve to die! Muye's ninja!"
The pockmarked man held his hammer, his expression cold.
"With one less person, do you think you can still suppress me?”
Xuan Zang took a few steps back and said sarcastically.
The two enemies looked at each other and seemed to have made a decision. At the same time, they took out a pill and threw it into their mouths.
"Hmm?"
Xuan Zang felt something was wrong. He sank down and prepared to defend himself.
After the remaining two ninjas swallowed the pills, the chakras in their bodies began to swell, but their eyes were also bloodshot.
Their expressions were also a little strange, as if they were enduring something. They were very uncomfortable.
" Is it a pill to stimulate potential?"
Xuan Zang looked at their performance.
"Swoosh!"
The ninja leader rushed towards Xuan Zang, his speed much faster than before. He was also wearing a layer of chakra armor, making him look very powerful.
"Bang!"
Xuan Zang's fist landed on the ground, and he jumped to dodge the attack.
"Swoosh!"
Another ninja approached Xuan Zang and swung his hammer, creating a loud noise in the air.
"Bang!"
After taking the pills, the two of them seemed to have improved to a certain extent. Their speed and strength were not on the same level as before.
"Go to hell!"
"Go to hell!"
The hammer-wielding ninja was like a furious human-shaped brown bear. He kept swinging the hammer in his hand, not knowing fatigue.
"Pa!"
After dodging the hammer, Genzo caught another ninja's fist with both hands and quickly retreated.
"This fist is really f * cking heavy!"
Xuan Zang caught it with both hands and almost failed to block it. He was confident that his strength wasn't small, but he was still sent flying by a single punch?
Xuan Zang's hands began to entangle his arms as he flew backwards. At the same time, Xuan Zang suddenly unleashed his chakra. The Thousand Birds Flow instantly erupted and went straight to the enemy's body through his arms.
"Buzz!"
The electric current raged, but the enemy did not change his expression.
"It seems that after taking the pill, the enemy's pain has also been reduced or numbed.”
Xuan Zang was constantly searching for information about the enemy in the battle, analyzing everything he knew.
"Bang!"
When the enemy kicked, Xuan Zang wrapped his leg with the Thousand Birds Flow and kicked.
The two feet collided, and Xuan Zang took the opportunity to let go of the enemy's hand and ran back at an even faster speed.
"Bang!"
The hammer came again. The enemy jumped into the air and smashed the hammer at Xuan Zang.
"Damn it!"
Xuan Zang twisted his body to dodge, but he was still hit by the shockwave and felt a tightness in his chest.
"This medicine usually doesn't last too long. Try to drag it out.”
Xuan Zang glanced at it from the corner of his eyes.
Only four of the subordinates who had followed him before they set off were left surrounding Zaochun Xiahu. Moreover, all of them were injured. Zaochun Xiahu was not having a good time either. One of his arms seemed to have lost the strength to hold his saber.
There were nearly 50 warriors around, more than ten times the number of Zaochun Xihu and the others.
"Tough!"
Xuan Zang knew that this was the most critical moment.
"Fire Escape, Grand Fireball Technique!"
This time, the ninjutsu was a little different. Xuan Zang spat out several fireballs that were much smaller than before.
This was the result of him dividing the chakra into several uses.
The two enemies dodged left and right, avoiding Xuan Zang's ninjutsu.
Xuan Zang chose an enemy and rushed forward. The ninjutsu just now was to separate the two enemies so that he could use a complete set of skills.
The hammer smashed toward Xuan Zang. Purple blood vessels appeared on the enemy's pockmarked face, as if the capillaries had burst.
"Bang!"
The hammer landed heavily on the ground, less than 10 centimeters away from Xuan Zang.
With one foot on the hammer, Xuan Zang could not let the enemy retrieve their weapons in time. Xuan Zang took the opportunity to lean towards the enemy.
"Swoosh!"
The electric current in his hand flashed past and brushed across the enemy's cheek, leaving a red mark.
"Go to hell!"
The enemy was already showing signs of fatigue, and Xuan Zang threw himself into his arms.
"Sizzle!"
His right hand stabbed out fiercely, opening a hole in the enemy's right chest. The lightning in his hand kept flashing and squeaking.
It rang.
"Phew!"
Even Xuan Zang felt the emptiness in his body.
"Ugh!"
The enemy revealed a sinister smile. The wound on his chest did not seem to make him feel the loss of life.
He released the hand holding the hammer and hugged Xuan Zang. He squeezed Xuan Zang hard with both hands. Xuan Zang couldn't react for a moment and was hugged.
"Ugh!"
This time, it was Xuan Zang's turn to feel uncomfortable. The emptiness of the chakra in his body, the exhaustion of his physical strength, and the enemy's strong embrace made him feel like a duck with its neck pinched.
"Swoosh!"
After being stabbed in the back by Kunai, Xuan Zang suddenly unleashed the remaining chakras in his body, turning them into electric currents and wreaking havoc all over his body.
However, the enemy behind him did not care and continued to send Kunai into Xuan Zang's body.
"Puff!"
He felt a sweet taste in his throat, and blood spurted out, splattering all over the face of the enemy who was holding Xuan Zang.
"Ah!"
Xuan Zang shouted, the shirunya in his eyes spinning crazily.
"Swoosh!"
His right hand formed a ninja mudra, and Xuan Zang turned into white smoke.
"Substitute Technique!"
The wood in the enemy's arms was crushed into pieces.
"Phew!"
Xuan Zang stood in front of the enemy, a trace of fear on his face.
The chakras in his body were continuously produced, and Xuan Zang was immediately used.
"Buzz!"
Chakra stimulated the cells in his legs. At this time, Xuan Zang did not want to care about the side effects.
"Plop!"
Xuan Zang shot out again, heading straight for the enemy.
"Sizzle!"
Using the hand as a sword, Xuan Zang's speed made it an excellent weapon.
Although it was only covered with a little lightning, it was still a powerful weapon that could kill.
He drew a wound on the leader's chest, then stopped in his tracks, avoiding the enemy's pain, and arrived in front of the pockmarked ninja.
At this moment, because Xuan Zang's Thousand Birds had opened a hole in his body, the medicinal effects seemed to be fading, and he also revealed a trace of powerlessness.
"Tsk!"
The side of his palm slid across his throat, and then Xuan Zang bent down and pulled away.
"Plop!"
There was only one enemy left, and it was just a meaningless struggle. Xuan Zang easily killed him.
Ignoring the ninja leader who had been stabbed in the throat and was struggling on the ground, Genzang quickly found his sword and walked towards Zaochun Xihu. Although killing the last ninja had left his body empty, he was not afraid at all.
……
"The tiger descends in early spring. This is the end of your life!”
There was only a tiger left in the early spring, and Sanjiji was surrounded by a group of samurai and stood opposite him.
"Bah!"
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Early Spring Tiger's heart was also dead silent. Xuan Zang was surrounded by three ninjas. He did not know whether he was alive or not. He was probably hopeless here.
"The generals of the Fire Country won't bow to you. If I fall, there will be thousands of me!”
Although she tried her best to shout, Chun Chun's voice was still very soft.
"Pa!"
Sanzhi Temple clapped.
"That's none of your business!”
"Come on, let me see your guts.”
Early Spring Tiger saw Sanjiji take out a samurai sword.
His body was covered in wounds and he was unable to fight back. Being able to stand here was already his limit.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Before Sanjiji Temple could slash over, the warrior standing in the back row wailed before he died.
"Hmm?"
Sanzhi Temple looked in a certain direction with a bewildered expression.
"You didn't die?"
Sanji Temple saw Genzang, who was slashing his subordinates like a child.
"A few clowns are worthy of killing me?"
Xuan Zang was not in a good state. There was a bloody hole on his back. Although he had used an electric current to stop the bleeding, blood was still oozing out, wetting a large area of his clothes.
"An arrow at the end of its flight!"
Although Sanji Temple was not a ninja, they still had good eyesight.
"Kill him!"
Sanzhi Temple retreated and pushed the subordinate beside him towards Xuan Zang.
"Shua! Shua!"
After entering the Chakra mode of the Thunder Evasion, Xuan Zang's speed increased greatly, and he easily cut down the enemies that rushed toward him.
"Xuan Zang!"
Early Spring Xiahu opened his eyes and saw Xuan Zang. A sense of relief spread in his heart.
"Stop him!"
Sanzhi Temple didn't expect Xuan Zang to be able to fight like this. They shouted and quickly boarded the carriage, seemingly ready to leave.
The remaining warriors executed his orders perfectly, even though they knew that they would most likely die in the face of Xuan Zang.
Taking advantage of his subordinates blocking Xuan Zang, the Sanzhi Temple's carriage quickly left, and Xuan Zang was powerless to stop it.
"Phew!"
Looking at the corpses around him, Xuan Zang heaved a sigh of relief.
The difference between a ninja and an ordinary person was just this big. Even if this ninja was a ninja who had exhausted all his chakras, even if this ordinary person was a trained warrior.
"Are you alright?"
Xuan Zang single-handedly chopped down all the remaining warriors and said to Zaochun Xiahu who was lying on the ground.
"Not bad! I won't die!"
Early Spring Tiger was also open-minded at this time.
"My lord, my lord!"
The moustache popped out of nowhere and ran to Zaochun Xiahu's side while shouting. He held Zaochun Xiahu's shoulder.
"Idiot! Hurry up and help me up."
Tiger in the Early Spring did not blame the moustache guy. After all, the moustache guy did not know any martial arts. In such a situation, he could only find a place to hide.
"Yes, sir! Yes!"
The moustache man quickly agreed and pulled Zaochun Xihu's intact arm to help him up.
"Hiss!"
Feeling the wounds on his body, Early Spring Tiger took a deep breath.
"Do we still have to go to the capital?"
Xuan Zang said.
"Why not? Once we reach the capital, it won't be a place where the Three Profession Temple has a say.”
Early Spring Tiger persevered.
"Up to you, but I need to rest for a while.”
Xuan Zang couldn't understand. What else could he rely on to go to the capital?
No matter what he wanted to do, Xuan Zang needed to recover. It was better for his life to be in his own hands.
He asked the moustached man to help Zaochun Xiahu to the carriage and used the medicine on the carriage to bandage him. Xuan Zang sat cross-legged on the carriage, ready to face the unknown challenge.
In the end, the tiger returned to the capital in early spring. On the day of his arrival, nearly a hundred warriors greeted him, shouting," Hello, General!”。
Xuan Zang stood with his arms crossed, not saying a word.
Early Spring's Tiger seemed to have expected such a scene. His expression did not change as he let these warriors follow him into the city. His might was unparalleled.
"In that case, my mission is considered complete.”
Standing on the roof of the carriage, Xuan Zang saw a figure standing on the wall.
"Sanzhi Temple!"
Early Spring Tiger naturally saw that person and called out.
"Humph!"
Sanzhi Temple waved their hands and left, followed by a group of subordinates.
"Haha!"
Zaochun Xiahu laughed loudly and waved his arm like a triumphant general.
"Let's go back!"
The moustached man drove the carriage with the warriors following behind him and entered the city in a mighty manner.
……
"Xuan Zang, heal before leaving? Let's have a good time in this capital for a few days.”
Arriving at Zao Chun's residence, he told Xuan Zang. He naturally knew that Xuan Zang's injuries would not recover tomorrow.
"Yes!"
Xuan Zang nodded, not in a hurry to go back.
Although there was no evidence to prove that Genzang was the one who killed two Genji ninjas, Tuan Zang did not look at evidence.
Maintaining his good condition was what he needed to do the most now.
After receiving Xuan Zang's response, Zaochun Xiahu didn't continue to stay by Xuan Zang's side. He arranged for Xuan Zang to stay in a residence and instructed the servants to take good care of him before he went to do his own things.
The fight with Sanzhi Temple was not over yet. The other party did not kill him on the way, so they would definitely not let it go. However, when they reached the capital, it was not something that could be solved by ordinary means. The game was still going on!
When they arrived at their residence, Xuan Zang called for the doctor in the residence to bandage and treat his injuries.
Although those wounds were sealed by Xuan Zang with a strong electric current and did not cause much damage, Xuan Zang was not a professional medical ninja. It was best to let the professionals do their job.
"Milord's injuries are not a big deal. Although the wound on your back is very deep, due to Milord's physique, it has begun to heal and scab.”
The doctor sat opposite Xuan Zang and evaluated his injuries.
"I'll bandage Daren's wound again in a while. Daren should rest well and should be fine soon.”
"Oh, thank you."
Xuan Zang nodded. He still had a certain understanding of his body. Coupled with the inexhaustible chakra, his recovery ability was far superior to ordinary people. It could even be compared to some special groups of people.
"Then I will go down and prepare. I will come back later to bandage your wounds.”
The doctor stood up and bent his waist, his attitude very humble.
He knew that some ninjas were very eccentric and would fight and kill whenever something went wrong. Although Xuan Zang didn't look like such a person, he still had to lower his attitude.
"Okay, try to be quick. I'm going out for a walk later.”
Xuan Zang waved his hand, signaling for the doctor to leave.
"Yes, yes!"
The doctor picked up his medical kit and left quickly to prepare the medicine for Xuan Zang.
……
"Phew, the capital is really bustling. It's indeed a little more powerful than Woodleaf Village!”
After the doctor finished bandaging his wounds, Xuan Zang slipped out. Although he had come to the capital for missions before, he had been so focused on his mission that he had never strolled around. Now that the mission was over, he could take a look around.
Xuan Zang walked lightly on the street, passing by many people.
The saber hanging at his waist was naturally there. Many people on the street had the habit of carrying weapons with them, so Xuan Zang did not stand out.
At present, Xuan Zang was already over 1.6 meters tall, so he wouldn't look too short in the crowd.
There were izakaya houses, hot spring houses, gambling dens, and adult places with some colors everywhere…
"Little brother, come in and sit for a while!"
Xuan Zang was looking at a large banner when a warm voice sounded in his ear.
Thinking that although he looked a little anxious, he was only eight years old, Xuan Zang hurriedly left this place of trouble.
……
"Don't miss it! The legacy of the nameless ninja, you deserve it!”
"Those who have money will support the money market, and those who have money will support the individual market!……”
Xuan Zang's ears were filled with the sight of the goods and the clamor of the people.
With money in his pocket, Xuan Zang didn't panic. He would take a look at anything new and interesting. Along the way, he had been eating dry food. Xuan Zang also let go of his stomach and ate as he walked. He had to admit that the snacks here were plentiful and delicious.
The days passed in a hurry. Xuan Zang did not care about the outcome of the battle between Xiahu in the early spring and Sanzhi Temple. After calculating the time, Xuan Zang was ready to go back and hand over the task.
"Xuan Zang, are you leaving just like that?"
Zaochun Xiahu smiled slightly. His right arm was tied to his chest and hung there. It was an injury that had not healed yet. Zaochun Xiahu did not have the almost abnormal recovery ability of Xuan Zang, so he naturally still slowly recuperated.
"After resting for a few days, it's time to go back.”
Xuan Zang nodded.
"Alright then, I will pay the follow-up mission fee very soon.”
Zaochun Xiahu's face was always smiling recently. It seemed that he did not lose the game with Sanzhi Temple.
"Up to you."
Xuan Zang tidied up his things and left. Before he left, he waved goodbye to Zichun Xiahu.
……
"I didn't expect this mission to be completed so quickly. You should go and rest first.”
The third-generation successor had a pipe in his mouth, and a smile appeared on his old face.
A few days ago, he had received a letter from Zaochun Xiahu. It was a messenger pigeon sent by Zaochun Xiahu as soon as he arrived in the capital.
On the way back, as he was alone, Xuan Zang's speed was naturally increased. It took him two days to rush back to the village.
"Yes, sir!"
Genzang lowered his head and walked out of Naruto's office. This mission was officially over.
……
" The mission target has returned to the village!"
"Ignore him for the time being. Finish what you have at hand and cooperate with that person's actions.”
"Yes, sir!"
In the dark and damp place, something was happening that Xuan Zang didn't know about.
……
"You're back, Xuan Zang!"
The newlywed Sen's face was red as he supervised the training of the police force on the training ground.
He was the first to see Xuan Zang, who had come to the training ground.
"Yes, this mission took more than half a month, which is quite a long time.”
"Rest now that you're back. We'll be back in the village in a few days.”
Sen patted Xuan Zang's shoulder, but Xuan Zang didn't move.
"Alright."
Xuan Zang naturally knew what was going on. He had long known that Uchiha had sent troops to reinforce the border with the Water Country, so he was not surprised.
"Xuan Zang!"
"Xuan Zang!"
The other members of the police force also greeted Genzang one by one, including Zhishui and Koji.
A few of the police force members also applied to go to the battlefield.
"What's wrong, Zhishui?"
Xuan Zang asked when he saw Zhishui's gloomy expression.
"Captain didn't allow him to go to the front line with the team.”
Koji explained.
"Oh, really?"
Xuan Zang frowned, a little confused.
Logically speaking, the other members of the police force had the strength to go to the battlefield. There was no reason for Zhishui to not have it.
"It was my father. He suggested it to the captain.”
Zhi Shui walked to the side of the training ground and spat out this sentence.
"I see."
Genzang nodded. Zhishui's father was just an honest chuunin. He did not have any outstanding ninja talent. His daily mission was only to be responsible for the security of the wooden leaf village. For the safety of Zhishui, there was nothing wrong with letting Zhishui stay behind.
Xuan Zang knew that this was a form of protection for Zhishui, even if it did not make him feel good.
"The front line isn't like when you're carrying out a mission. You're facing a few enemies.”
Xuan Zang said to Koji and Zhi Shui, who were beside him.
"There are many things to consider on the battlefield. It's completely different from when you're carrying out missions. Moreover, the strength of the Chuunin was only cannon fodder on the battlefield. Or rather, all ninjas were cannon fodder on the battlefield. The victory of the war could not be decided by one or two people.”
Xuan Zang expressed his understanding while the other two remained silent.
"Fight with me, Zhishui?"
Xuan Zang poked Zhi Shui with his elbow.
"Alright!"
Now that he had opened his Shura Eye, Zhishui had long wanted to fight Xuan Zang and test his own level, but he had never found the time.
Koji, stand aside."
Xuan Zang tilted his head and gestured to Koji.
"Uh, alright!"
Uchiha Koji nodded and walked towards the edge of the training ground, where a smiling Sen stood.
"What do you think, Koji?"
Sen said to Koji, who was walking over.
"What else can I think? Just stand and watch!"
Koji pursed his lips.
"Uh, I'm asking who you think will win?"
"Xuan Zang, although Zhishui has opened his eyes, he is far from being Xuan Zang's match.”
"That's true!"
Sen scratched his head. The scene of Zhishui slapping Koji in the face and defeating Genzang had just appeared in his mind.
"Let me see how much stronger you have become!”
Xuan Zang touched the saber at his waist. A breeze blew under his feet, causing the dust to swirl.
"Yes, Xuan Zang!"
Zhishui opened and closed his eyes, revealing the Three Hook Jade.
His eyes were filled with a sharp light. Zhi Shui had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.
"Whoosh!"
Zhi Shui made a hand seal and disappeared, but Xuan Zang also disappeared.
"Hehe!"
Xuan Zang pressed down on the water, the corners of his mouth curling up.
The moment Zhishui activated the Instant Body Technique, Xuan Zang's Three Hook Jade Shura Eye had caught it. His body subconsciously began to replicate and then activated the Ninjutsu.
Xuan Zang stepped back quickly to avoid Zhishui's attack. At the same time, he swung the saber in his hand.
"Plop!"
Xuan Zang stepped hard behind him and quickly approached the water.
In this battle, Xuan Zang did not use chakra activated cells. He only used his body technique and Thousand Birds Style.
The two of them kept clashing in the training ground. Among the two people watching from the side, Koji was dumbfounded.
He could barely catch the two figures in the battle. Without his eyes open, he could only see their movements clearly the moment they stopped.
He clenched his fists tightly. Koji saw the gap between them, and he was both happy and discouraged.
He was happy because as companions, the two of them were very strong. He was discouraged because the gap between him and them was so big.
The battle quickly ended, and Xuan Zang was the winner.
Originally, Xuan Zang could have ended the battle faster, but in order to test Zhishui's strength, Xuan Zang did not use his full strength.
"Not bad, Zhishui."
Xuan Zang put the sword back on his waist.
"I know Xuan Zang still has some power he hasn't used yet.”
Zhi Shui was a little discouraged.
"It's already very good."
Sen walked over and put his arm around Xuan Zang's shoulder as he spoke to Zhi Shui.
…………
The next morning, Xuan Zang finished a large plate of rice balls. He patted his stomach and prepared to leave home for the training ground.
"Xuan Zang, good morning!"
Uchiha Koji's voice was heard, and Genzou nodded slightly. During this period of time, he went to the training ground with Koji every day.
"The weather is getting warmer. It's almost time to set off for the battlefield.”
Koji followed behind Xuan Zang, muttering to himself. Due to his recent increase in strength, he always wanted to find a place to prove himself.
Genzang had mentioned Koji's attitude several times, but when he turned his head, Koji returned to his original state, so he felt helpless.
……
The two of them soon arrived at the training ground. There were already people training there. The day of the battlefield was approaching, and many people felt a sense of urgency. A little increase in strength was the hope of surviving on the battlefield.
After warming up outside the training ground for a while, Xuan Zang took his knife and prepared to walk deeper into the training ground. He liked the feeling of being alone.
Genzang and Koji were the last to arrive. After they arrived, a few more people arrived one after another, and the official members of the police force were all present.
"Everyone, come over here!"
At this moment, Sen stood on the training ground and clapped his hands, signaling for everyone to come over.
Following the crowd, a group of people lined up and stood neatly in the middle of the training ground.
Due to the uniqueness of Xuan Zang's strength, he stood alone at the front of the team, standing together with Sen.
After two years of fighting and training, Xuan Zang's strength had improved even more. Sen Du was no match for Xuan Zang, and Xuan Zang was also the overall strength of the police force.
Nearly twenty people lined up neatly and stood quietly in front of Sen, their eyes fixed on him.
"Cough cough!"
Sen looked around, put his hand to his mouth, and coughed. He was about to start his speech.
"I am very happy to stand in front of everyone. You are all ninjas carefully selected from Uchiha. I seem to be talking to Uchiha's future!”
Uchihamori smiled, but his tone was still very serious.
There was no commotion in the crowd. Everyone was still looking at Sen. They were not surprised by such praise, and it did not make them feel arrogant. Those who could enter this place would not change their attitude towards life because of some external factors.
Although the members of the police force were generally around 12 or 13 years old, they were very mature and their attitudes towards things were more mature.
"In another week, many people here will be on the battlefield. This is the path you have chosen!”
Sen said in a deep voice as he looked at Koji, Xuan Zang, and the others who had applied to go to the battlefield.
"Most of the people here are very strong, at least stronger than most of their peers. This means that you are also considered geniuses! However, the battlefield is not a game. Don't think that just because you've completed a few missions, the battlefield is your playground and you can come and go as you please!”
Sen's voice was high and orderly.
"I won't say any more. This time, nearly ten members of the police force have joined the frontline. I hope you can return safely.”
"Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Everyone answered loudly. Xuan Zang stood in front and nodded slightly.
Sen looked at everyone in front of him. He knew that once they went to the battlefield, they would face death. He didn't know how many of them would return. Even he wasn't sure if he could return safely. There were too many uncertainties in the battlefield.
"Everyone, continue practicing. Xuan Zang, come with me."
Sen waved his hand and beckoned Xuan Zang to follow him, heading to the other office building.
"What is it?"
Xuan Zang poured two cups of tea and brought them to the table.
"Aren't we about to set off? I just wanted to talk to you.”
Sen took a cup and took a sip before continuing.
"From the looks of it, the situation is not bad. After all, it seems that the Hidden Fog Village has not decided to declare war on us. When we go to the battlefield, we will only confront the enemy. The danger level is not very high.”
Xuan Zang sat down and thought quickly.
"Indeed, but there will definitely be small-scale battles.”
"I heard that the Yan Ren in the northwest region is also restless and is preparing to cause trouble?”
Xuan Zang stared at Uchiha Sen's face and said in a relaxed tone.
"Indeed, Mu Ye's current situation isn't optimistic, but that side doesn't have much to do with us. This is a problem that the third generation Naruto needs to consider.”
"Captain is going to hold a secret family meeting and invite you to participate. This is also your first time attending such a meeting. It's good to let the others in the family know you, isn't it?”
Sen's tone was very calm.
"When?"
"Tonight at eight o'clock, in the ancestral hall of the clan.”
Sen held the cup in his hand and looked at it casually.
"Got it."
Xuan Zang nodded. He naturally couldn't be absent from such a meeting. If he wanted to have a say in the family in the future, he couldn't avoid these people.
Although he had a name in the family because of some achievements, they had heard of him before and had never seen him in person. This was an opportunity to enter the core of the family.
Xuan Zang's eyes fell on the faint smile on Sen's lips, and he also let out a small laugh.
"I suddenly feel a little excited! Haha."
"Sometimes, I really don't think you're just an eight-year-old child.”
Sen put down his teacup.
"Then don't treat me like a child, okay?”
Xuan Zang shrugged as if nothing had happened.
Although people from Ninja Realm generally developed early, no one would associate Xuan Zang with a child who was not even ten years old just by looking at his height.
"Then there's nothing else. I'll go and get busy first.”
Xuan Zang stood up and waved his hand.
"Alright!"
Sen nodded and did not get up. He just sat there and drank his tea quietly.
……
Xuan Zang quickened his pace as he walked out of the office. He attached more importance to the evening meeting than anyone else. After all, it was his first time meeting with all the higher-ups and backbones of the family.
"Xuan Zang, why is Sen looking for you?”
Zhi Shui asked when he saw Xuan Zang come out.
"Nothing much. It's just that Captain is looking for me and asked me to go over tonight.”
Xuan Zang didn't directly say that he was going to attend the family meeting. Since it was a secret meeting, he didn't bother to tell others. It was not a big deal.
"Oh, oh, let's go spar. I thought of another move when I went back yesterday. Let's try it.”
Zhi Shui naturally did not ask further after receiving the answer. He called Xuan Zang and walked deeper into the training ground.
"Alright."
Although Xuan Zang and Zhishui were much weaker, he was inspired by fighting with Zhishui many times. Therefore, Xuan Zang did not reject sparring with Zhishui.
After practicing with Zhishui for a while, Koji ran over again. After witnessing Zhishui's new technique, Genzang stepped aside and watched Koji and Zhishui fight.
Time flew by, and it was soon noon. After rushing back for lunch, Xuan Zang did not plan to go to the police training ground in the afternoon.
He had made an appointment with Kakashi in the afternoon to have a chat in Muye's forest.
Speaking of Kakashi, Xuan Zang wanted to smile.
Ever since they had met at the barbecue restaurant, the two of them had not interacted much, even though Xuan Zang and Kakashi had said that they would talk some more.
Until the day before yesterday, when Genzang finished his afternoon training and remembered that he hadn't eaten fresh fish in a long time, he ran to the commercial street alone to try his luck. Unexpectedly, he met Kakashi, who was standing awkwardly at the entrance of a shop.
It turned out that after he had eaten, he realized that he did not have any money with him. At this time, he was not very talkative, so he could only stand there and could not think of a way. The shop owner had just settled down in Muye, so he did not know much about the slightly famous Kakashi.
The two parties were in a deadlock because the shop owner did not allow Kakashi to leave, and Kakashi could not find anyone to pay for him.
Xuan Zang, who was passing by, naturally helped Kakashi pay the money and successfully received a grateful Kakashi.
Of course, gratitude was impossible. Kakashi had promised to return the money to Xuan Zang next time and was about to leave. Xuan Zang pulled Kakashi and told him about his thoughts.
Recently, Xuan Zang's reputation had begun to spread in some small circles. Kakashi had naturally been informed by the School of Wave Wind and Water. He had some ideas about Xuan Zang. After all, Xuan Zang had recently been praised as a genius who was close to or even surpassed Kakashi.
After agreeing on a time with Kakashi, Xuan Zang parted ways with Kakashi. Although he didn't manage to buy the fish he needed, meeting Kakashi was still a pleasant surprise.
…
He had agreed to meet Kakashi at the Muye Grove at 2 p.m., and Xuan Zang had already gone there at around 1:30 p.m. He wasn't in a hurry, and since Kakashi was still on the other side, he couldn't rush.
It seemed that Kakashi was about to be promoted to a Jounin, and Chidori should be out by now. It was a good time to learn from him.
There was a gentle breeze in the forest. After the weather turned warm, there were still many small animals in the forest.
Leaning against a large tree, Xuan Zang comfortably assumed a posture, quietly waiting for Kakashi's arrival.
Speaking of which, Kakashi was indeed the late king of Muye. Even though Xuan Zang had slowed down and it was already a quarter past two, Kakashi was still nowhere to be seen.
Xuan Zang took out his fingers and looked at the entrance of the forest.
Kakashi arrived at the agreed location at 2:30 am.
