A red flame was generated on the surface of the sword blade, and the scorching heat emitted caused the surrounding air to twist.
"It looks good, but I'm afraid I need to find something to try the sword on." Zhixue withdrew the chakra, inserted the sword into the ground, and took out the map.
The mission location is at a nearby junction between the two countries. Calculating the time, we should be able to arrive this afternoon. Then we can go to the battlefield and try the Kusanagi sword. After all, what the organization requires is "cleaning up". Not forcing a retreat.
Just when Zhixue was looking at the map and preparing to go to the surrounding villages to replenish food, two streaks of red that he accidentally saw in the distance attracted Zhixue's attention.
On the road from Caoyin Village to the border, a group of grass ninjas escorting grain and grass were walking on the wide country road with several carriages, but this was not the place that attracted Zhixue's attention, although they were probably the ones Zhixue wanted to clean up. The goal is to achieve the goal, but it is obviously not as efficient as paying it off in two steps.
But... the strange thing is that among the many ninjas, in addition to food, there are two red-haired mother-daughter people walking on the road together with the advancement of the ninja troops.
Even if it is a war, will two women who seem to have no fighting ability be used? Wait...red hair?
"Hurry up. How long will it take for you to wait until it arrives? If a ninja dies because you are late, you will feel better then!" The ninja guarding the woman gave a push. The woman with gray-red hair in front of her said sharply.
"You guy..." A bright red-haired little loli who was still in the woman's arms had a tic-tac-toe on her forehead, pointing at the grass ninja and seemed to want to say something, but the woman stopped her.
The grass ninja looked at the angry-eyed red-haired little loli and made a disdainful cut.
"If we, the Grass Ninja Village, hadn't taken you in, you and your mother would have died among the refugees long ago. Who are you showing off to by being so picky? It means your mother was protecting you, otherwise You have long ceased to look like this tender-skinned, little devil..."
The Kusanagi went up and pinched Xiang Lian's cheek and pulled it. Feeling the pain on his cheeks, two tears couldn't help but fall from the corners of his eyes. The Kusanagi who were still rushing around saw this scene and not only did they not stop it, Instead, he laughed as if he had hit something funny.
"Okay, it's almost done. We have to go on our way later." Xiang Lian's mother also pried off the Kusanagi's hand from Xiang Lian's cheek and said with a sigh of relief.
"Mother..." Looking at the woman with her head lowered in front of her, Xiang Ling also wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and retracted into the woman's arms.
The haggard-looking woman rubbed Xiang Lu's head and sighed.
She had no choice but to bring the scented phosphorus this time. After all, she was still young, and this trip was probably going to take a long time. If she didn't take the scented phosphorus with her, no one would know about Kusanagi Village. What would those beasts do?
Just as Kusanagi continued to move towards the border according to the route, Zhiyuki, who had changed his mind, had already blocked the road ahead, used the transformation technique to become Obito, and transformed the people who once attacked Konoha. The tiger-striped mask he was carrying was put on his face.
"Obi Tou, I hope you don't mind if I lend you your vest again. The dead don't speak anyway..."
Chapter 98, The Whirlpool Clan
"I heard that there is an enemy situation in the south of our country. Is this true?"
"But isn't the country of rain to the south? How many years has that place been sealed off? How could they still send troops to invade?" Several grass ninjas among the troops transporting food said while chatting on the road.
"Who knows, isn't the former demigod Sanshouyu Hanzo here? Maybe he wants to regain his strength and make a comeback."
"Why do you care so much? We are sending food to the north. Just work hard in the north."
"Makes sense."
While several grass ninjas were still chatting, the march suddenly came to a halt, and there were also some strange sounds of unknown meaning in front of them.
"Huh? Why did you stop?"
"I don't know. Is there a new order?"
boom!
Just when the ninjas at the rear were still confused, an explosion from the front aroused their alert. Seven or eight ninjas ran out from the front with frightened faces. The Kusanagi, who was the leader of the team, caught them. A ninja who was still running away asked him.
"Hey, what happened!?"
"Devil, it's a devil! Don't look into his eyes!" The escaping Kusanagi broke free from the shackles of the leading Jonin and ran towards the rear, but was stopped by the other ninjas.
Running away as soon as something happens is not creating panic, isn't it?
The leading jounin ordered the escaping ninja to be captured, but a violent airflow blew from the front, and a scarlet light lit up from the smoke of the explosion.
Feeling the smell of blood in the air, several grass ninjas also rushed in with ninja swords and kunai. Then they only heard a few sounds of sharp weapons cutting flesh and then there was no sound.
Several ninjas who were good at perception walked up to the leading jounin and said something in their ears with frightened expressions. In an instant, the jounin's face fell.
How could such a powerful chakra reaction occur in the Country of Grass? What do ninjas who are responsible for guarding borders and patrolling road safety do for food?
After learning about the situation inside, he led the Jonin and ordered hundreds of rose kunai carrying detonating talismans to be thrown in, and continuous dazzling fire exploded from them. The ninja who was still behind also obeyed the order and rushed over.
Feeling the roar of the detonating talisman and the constant trembling of the ground under his feet, Xiang Ling hugged his mother's arms in fear.
"Mom, the fighting ahead is so fierce, are we going to be doomed?"
Hearing Xiang Lu's frightened trembling, the woman tightly protected Xiang Lu with her hands.
"Don't worry, this is the territory of the Kingdom of Grass, we will be fine..." The woman felt the vibrations on the ground getting more and more severe, and she picked up the phosphorus and hid under the grain truck.
At this time, the grass ninja who had pushed the woman before saw the woman and Xianglan hiding under the car, ran over and pulled the two people out fiercely.
"Didn't you see a fight ahead? Get over here and get treatment! Otherwise, you two will not be able to eat today or tomorrow!"
Seeing that the grass ninja was being pulled forward together with the phosphorus, the woman hurriedly ran out and took the grass ninja's arm and said: "Wait, just let me go alone! She is still young, she can't be like this..."
Snapped!
"We are at war now! The lives of you and your children no longer belong to you!"
Xiang Ling watched in disbelief as his mother was knocked to the ground by a slap. The despair in his eyes gradually turned into anger. He then bit the Kusanagi on the arm, causing him to fling himself away in pain. Hit the wheel hard.
"Hang Phosphorus!" The woman got up from the ground, distressed and wanted to run over and pull her child up from the ground, but a few pairs of thick arms picked her up and dragged her to the front.
"Mom!" Xiang Ling looked helplessly at her mother walking away from her and the arms grabbing at her around her, with hot tears flowing from her eyes.
Swish!
A cold light suddenly appeared, and a trace of blood flashed on the necks of the several grass ninjas who were grabbing Xiang Lu, and they fell to the ground unwillingly.
Zhixue looked at Xiang Ling's mother being dragged away in the distance and threw out two shurikens in an attempt to save the person, but was blocked by several grass ninjas.
"Shadow Clone Technique!" Zhixue formed a seal with his hands, and a shadow clone was generated. He carried Xiang Phosphorus away from the scene, and then slapped his hands on the ground. A burst of earth flow walls rose up on both sides to resist the flying fireballs. Come down.
"Fire Release: Ghost Lantern Technique!" A dozen fireballs as big as a head flew from a distance and hit Zhixue, but were scattered in the air by a burst of red sword light.
"Abominable ninja from outside the village..." The ninja who had pulled the mother and son away before saw that the ninjutsu had not hit, gritted his teeth and rushed towards Zhixue. The surrounding grass ninjas also started to rush after they found out that Zhixue had moved here. Welled up.
"Fire Release: Big Fire Ball Technique!"
"Wind Release—Wind Cut Technique!"
"Thunder Escape-Thunder!"
Observing the ninjutsu surrounding him with his Sharingan, a turquoise light rose from Zhixue's body, and gradually transformed into a half-giant, blocking the ninjutsu from outside.
Plunging the silver cross spear into the ground, the Nine-Tails' chakra gradually spread from the gun body to the ground along Susanoo. Scarlet chakra arms stretched out from the surrounding ground and moved towards the many grasses. Shinobi slaughtered the past. Screams and the strong smell of blood filled the entire battlefield for a moment.
And now the several grass ninjas who were about to bite Xiang Lian's mother to recover from their wounds were crushed to death by Kyuubi's chakra arm, and blood gushed out in the air like spring water.
If Zhixue had only been able to test the sword with grass ninja before, then now he had used some real power and slaughtered the team of more than two hundred people with almost a one-sided margin, leaving no one except Xiang Ling mother and son.
"I didn't expect your methods to be so cruel? I really underestimated you. I thought you were my brother's good little sister." Jiuwei, who was still in Zhixue's body, said sadly.
Zhixue pulled out the Grass Pheasant Sword from a corpse, shook off the blood on it, looked at the mother and son in the distance who were so scared that they were huddled in the corner, and removed the mask from their faces after releasing the transformation spell. He stopped and responded to Kyuubi and said -
"This is different. I usually don't care about other people. I just want the people around me to live happily. As for other things, I still focus on efficiency and tasks, and almost all attacks are instant kills. On the surface, it looks like It’s just cruel. Ah, of course, no matter how important the task is, you still have to fish. What fun would there be in life if you don’t fish?”
With that said, Zhixue wiped the blood from the Pheasant Sword, returned it to the Void Ring, and walked towards the Xiang Pheasant mother and son.
Xiang Ling was currently in her mother's arms. She heard footsteps approaching from far away, and her heart was pounding nervously.
Xiang Ling's mother was trembling as she looked at the winner of the massacre, hoping that this man with infinite power would spare their lives because of their special abilities...
Just when Xiang Ling's mother was ready to speak and kneel down to beg for mercy, she was stunned when she saw Zhi Xue's cute and childish face.
Chapter 99: New Subordinates
Somewhere on the transportation line of the Land of Grass, it has become a mess. Splattered blood and corpses can be seen everywhere. The strong smell of gunpowder smoke and blood permeates the air. Zhixue, who is wearing a robe of the Akatsuki organization, is carrying Mother and son left this place like purgatory.
Ten minutes later, in a hidden grassland, Xiang Liao's mother wanted to kneel on the ground but was stopped by Zhixue.
"Thank you sir for rescuing us from the sea of misery..."
"Don't kneel, it will shorten your life." Zhixue used earth to escape and made a seat for her to sit on, while Xiang Ling also grabbed her mother's arm in fear.
Even though this sister, who is not much older than her, looks harmless to humans and animals, she has just slaughtered hundreds of ruthless people. Faced with such brutal means, she is still very young and will have some physiological problems. Discomfort and fear.
Zhixue smiled as she looked at Xiang Ling who seemed to be very afraid of her.
Xiang Phosphorus was quite cute when she was a child without glasses. Her short red hair looked like a little pepper.
"Don't be afraid, I don't have any intentions towards you, but it's not right to say that. To be precise, saving you is a coincidence, but I need to pay the corresponding reward to pay it off. Of course, the reward I want is not a lot of."
Xiang Lu and her mother were also embarrassed when they heard the word "reward".
They were originally captured by the Grass Ninja Village to do hard labor. It would be nice if they could have enough food, let alone any money.
Zhixue said and looked at Xiang Ling's position, making the little loli's face paler and she hid behind her mother.
"Excuse me...how much is the remuneration?" Xiang Lingdu's mother looked in Zhixue's direction with a worried expression and asked.
"Well... not much, just 30 years. Isn't this a big problem?"
Xiang Phosphorus’s mother:? ? ?
What does 30 years mean? Could it be...that kind of place?
As a member of the Uzumaki clan who had been exiled in the ninja world for many years, Xiang Lu's mother had naturally heard of that colorful place. When she looked at Zhixue and looked at Xiang Lu, she shook her head resolutely.
That kind of place... is not a good place to go. To a certain extent, rather than becoming a plaything in the hands of the rich, it is better to stay in the Grass Ninja Village, so that at least he can live with more dignity.
Zhixue looked at Xiang Ling's mother and understood, and then explained: "I am not the kind of person you think. The 30 years I mentioned are the time to work for me for free."
"Working?" Xiang Ling's mother's face froze.
"It means working for me and making money. A person who truly belongs to me. Of course, 30 years is a time limit. At that time, I will give her her own freedom." Zhixue pointed in the direction of Xiang Phosphorus and said .
"Excuse me... what kind of work do you need to do? In fact, I can also work on behalf of the child." Because she was afraid of being too dangerous, Xiang Liao's mother asked cautiously.
"Well, it's just about making money. As long as you can make money, that's fine. I won't restrict her too much. As for you, forget it. Your vitality has been seriously overdrawn. You'd better rest for a few more years. Maybe you can survive. Until the age of 50." Zhixue said as he injected a trace of chakra into Xiang Ling's mother's body.
"50 years old? No, my mother will definitely live a long life!" After hearing Zhixue saying that her mother could only live to be 50 years old, Xiang Lu hugged her mother's waist in disbelief and said.
Xiang Phosphorus' mother, who was well aware of her physical condition, also smiled and shook her head.
In fact, she was very happy to actually live to be 50 years old. He could see Xiang Li grow up and live safely in this world, and that was enough.
"What? Little guy, do you want your mother to live a few more years?" Zhixue stepped forward and rubbed Xiang Lu's head.
Hearing what Zhixue said and the feeling of comfort coming from the top of his head, Xiang Ling's fear was relieved a lot. He cautiously glanced in Zhixue's direction and said curiously: "Really, really? You can let me Mother’s life expectancy?”
"Of course, it's not difficult for me." Zhixue said with a smile.
