Chapter 111: Kotori Sanye's Shura Field
Chapter 111: Kotori Mitsuha's Shura Field (Part )
In the dense forest, steam filled the air.
Ye Cang floating in the air was like a prehistoric beast. Her punches and kicks were powerful enough to break metal and shatter rocks. Even a waist-thick tree would be sucked dry of all its moisture by the wind from her fists. The tree would then crack and collapse with a loud snap.
Li Zhongren, on the other hand, seemed to be the protagonist in Temple Run. With his free control over Wood Release, he grabbed the roots and swung them while commanding the trees to block him. He was running madly in the dense forest.
This is also the reason why he used this ninjutsu in the first place.
First, he couldn't let his identity as He Huo Bei Dao be exposed. After all, he was carrying the blood debt of more than a thousand ninjas from the Sand Village clan. The debt would be wiped out when the person died, but if the person didn't die, those ninja clans from the Sand Village would not let it go.
Second, this is it.
The dense forest gave him the opportunity to dodge and move. Otherwise, he would never be Ye Cang's opponent in a head-on fight. Before awakening the Wood Release, he was just a junior ninja. In a close combat, Ye Cang would probably grab his head, press him to the ground and beat him up.
"Mister Mitsuba, if you want to spar, why don't you just stand where you are?"
Behind Li Zhongren came Ye Cang's voice, which sounded extremely gentle.
"Escape is also a compulsory course for ninjas!"
"Scorch Release: Maximum Alert!!!"
It was unknown how long they had been chasing, but Ye Cang, who was following behind Li Zhongren, suddenly opened her arms, and a huge amount of steam gushed out of her body, covering a large area in almost an instant. The speed was so fast that it far exceeded Li Zhongren's running speed.
In an instant, a large area of forest turned into dust and dissipated.
Only Li Zhongren was left alone
Then, Ye Cang walked through the misty steam, gently grabbed the back of Li Zhongren's neck with one hand, flipped him over, and slammed him to the ground.
Then, because of the side effects of using the second stage of Burning Release, Ye Cang, who no longer wore shoes after that, stepped on Li Zhongren's chest with her feet, which were washed spotlessly clean by the steam of Burning Release, and looked down at him condescendingly.
"White"
Li Zhongren took a quick glance and quickly looked away, looking somewhere else.
Then, there was silence.
The only sound in the quiet is the wind blowing
"asshole."
Yoshihisa
Li Zhongren felt his cheeks were a little wet, as if water drops had fallen on his face.
"Hey you. How did you find out it was mine?"
Li Zhongren wiped away the tears on his face, but still tilted his head, not daring to look directly at Ye Cang.
"First of all, that watch convinced me that you had started planning this long ago."
"Then, the chakra energy storage device is similar in shape to the energy storage device in a watch."
"Finally, the look in the eyes of the red-haired girl just now made me believe it all."
"Only the Wood Release Transformation Technique can be so difficult to detect."
"what is her name?"
"Uzumaki Kushina"
"What is your relationship?"
"Lover or fiancée, right?"
"You don't have to be afraid, and you don't have to feel any burden."
Ye Cang took his feet away and knelt gently next to Li Zhongren.
"You never promised me anything, and you never even flirted with me. If you did, it was just an act that time."
“At first, I thought it was a line.”
"Later, I thought it was you who said that to me."
"Now, I wanted to say that to you again."
"But only after I really saw you did I understand."
“The person I like is not actually you.”
"It's He Huo Bei Dao who treats Hui Zi wholeheartedly. I like the ease and fun between you two. I also like her courage to die to protect you. I like the articles you wrote for her even more. That coconut tree, ha, it actually exists, although I know it was probably not planted by Hui Zi."
"Hu~~"
As he said that, Ye Cang sighed.
"Everything was like a dream. I was still thinking, how can I replace Huizi's position in your heart? Then, with a bang, everything exploded like a balloon, and nothing was left."
"This is why I hate you. You destroyed my dream, but you can never compensate me with a Hehuobei Knife."
"I'm sorry."
"No need. I told you that you didn't take the initiative to do anything that crossed the line with me. This is my own problem and has nothing to do with you."
Ye Cang hugged his knees and tapped the ground lightly with his feet.
"But I was thinking, if He Huo Bei Dao could say a few words to me before he died, what would he say?"
"He"
Li Zhongren sat up slowly.
"I mean, He Huo Bei Dao, not me."
"Ah"
Ye Cang smiled.
"Well, it's him. What will he say to me?"
“He might say”
"I'll give you back the words you gave me: 'The moonlight tonight is so beautiful'"
"It's a pity that I didn't meet you earlier before I got married"
“So this is a haiku.”
Ye Cang tilted his head and looked into the distance, as if he was imagining something.
"Lord Kazekage said that you deliberately made yourself look uncultured. In fact, he had guessed that you were an undercover agent long ago, but he didn't expose you because of your words, 'If it is for the benefit of the country, I will not avoid it because of misfortune or seek it because of fortune.' He just wanted to use you to weaken the ninja family."
"what?"
"So, how else can I be sure that it's you? Just because it looks like Wood Release? How embarrassing it would be if I guessed wrong."
"Ah this."
Li Zhongren felt a chill on his back. After all, in that small town, the Third Kazekage was almost invincible.
"So, what is the original haiku? I want to hear it."
"I shed tears for you under the moonlight, I regret not meeting you before you got married"
"Ah"
Ye Cang smiled slightly.
“But you didn’t cry.”
"Ouch!!"
Li Zhongren covered his nose. The punch was sore but the force was not strong. It could even be said to be just right. Then, tears started pouring out.
"That little girl over there, come out, stop hiding."
Then, Ye Cang looked into the depths of the fog. The steam she created could almost block out all prying eyes, but at the same time, it could also enable her to perceive the surroundings. Naturally, she had already discovered Uzumaki Kushina who was hiding there and listening with her ears pricked up.
"Hello, Sister Ye Cang." Uzumaki Kushina came over with a red face and sat next to Li Zhongren. She was a little uneasy, like a little rabbit, because there were two branches stuck in her head.
"it is good."
Ye Cang looked at Uzumaki Kushina and nodded after a long time.
"Watch this man carefully from now on. You've seen it, you've heard it, right? Unless he keeps silent, he can deceive a woman's heart. Just these two sentences are enough."
“I already said that it’s not.”
Looking at Ye Cang's red eyes and the scorching rays that could be shot out at any time, Li Zhongren closed his mouth casually.
"Well, the past is the past. Life is like chess. Don't regret your moves."
As he spoke, Ye Cang took out a scroll from his arms.
"This is what Master Kazekage asked me to give you."
"what"
Li Zhongren took the scroll, opened it and started reading.
"You must be scared, little brat, haha..."
"You guys, you're playing too big a game. I mean, committing suicide in public, I'm worried that Ye Cang can't bear it, so he chose to tell her the truth. As for the fact that you killed more than a thousand ninjas, although I feel sad, I'm not that sad. After all, such a good opportunity will not come again in at least ten years, so it's time to cut it off."
"The current Sand Village has restored balance because of your participation and the design drawings left to Ye Cang, and I speculate that the balance in the future may tilt more and more towards the civilians. Chakra technology is indeed the way of the future."
"It's just that I once told Luo Sha that families come from the people. Even if the old families are dead, new families will still be born slowly. This still gives me a headache. Ye Cang may be suitable to be the Kazekage and protect this village, but she is far from being good at this."
"So, I heard that you are not that free in Konoha. If you don't want to do it anymore, come to Sand Village. I can let you be the Kazekage. I don't think Ye Cang will refuse. Hahahaha."
"Ahem, just a joke. People from the Wind Country won't agree to this."
"In short, the purpose of my writing this letter to you is to hope that you can establish a good relationship with Ye Cang. Don't worry, after my guidance, she has been relieved. From now on, she is your sister and you are her brother. Get along well. In the future, you two can guarantee the relationship between Sunagakure and Konoha. This should be what you expect. You are not big, but you have a big heart. I am curious about what you will do next."
"The Third Kazekage, Tianshui Yu Lizhan, the name."
"Hu~~"
After reading it, Li Zhongren exerted force on his hand, and the red light on his hand flashed and disappeared. The extremely weak Wood Release Cyberpunk turned the scroll back to dust.
"When you get back, tell the teacher for me that as long as you and I are still here, there will be no problems between Konoha and Sunagakure."
"Okay, then I'm leaving."
"That. Sister Ye Cang."
Suddenly, Uzumaki Kushina gritted her teeth.
"If you don't mind, I'll give you half of it!"
"Oh, I appreciate your kindness."
Ye Cang ruffled Uzumaki Kushina's hair.
"Sister, if you want to eat a delicacy, but the price of getting it is that it will go bad, do you still want it?"
As he said this, Ye Cang looked at Li Zhongren again.
"Treat her well. Also, you are not allowed to use my methods to obtain information in the future. Do you understand?"
"Um. Sister Ye Cang. Well, the teacher told me to call you that. I have something else to trouble you with."
"What."
-
"Wow~~~"
As the steam dissipated, it seemed as if the endless forest began to disintegrate and disappear.
The people who were still here finally saw Li Zhongren and Ye Cang.
Both of them were in a very sorry state and a little out of breath, but Li Zhongren was obviously in a more sorry state, especially his abdomen, where a kunai was directly stuck. Behind Li Zhongren, Uzumaki Kushina's hair was flying, and it was obvious that she was preparing to use the power of the jinchūriki.
"That's it for now."
Li Zhongren coughed a few times and spoke.
"I admit defeat."
Ye Cang didn't say anything, but just looked at Li Zhongren with a cold face, then looked at Uzumaki Kushina beside him.
As soon as he turned around, steam filled his body, and he returned to the distant Steam Princess, and flew directly into the cockpit. After a moment, the door of the Steam Princess slowly closed, and with a whistle, he disappeared into the night with the Iwagakure and Sand Village ninjas.
"Sanye, are you okay?"
Soon, Senju Tsunade came to Li Zhongren.
"It's okay, I can't die."
Li Zhongren lay on the ground and coughed a few times.
"Don't move, I'll stop the bleeding for you."
"Thank you, sister."
"Haha, you deserve it."
Tsunade curled her lips. After learning the whole story from Orochimaru, she just wanted to say that the girl didn't beat him to death, and she still had a good impression of him in her heart.
"Sister Tsunade, Mitsuha is only here for the mission."
"You two haven't gotten married yet!!"
Tsunade Senju pulled out the kunai and applied the palm technique to Li Zhongren's lower abdomen. With her powerful medical ninjutsu, the bleeding from the wound stopped soon. However, she frowned because she found a strange and dangerous chakra in Li Zhongren's body.
"This is."
"Her Scorch Release Stage 2 ability."
Li Zhongren explained.
"It can be mixed with steam. Once inhaled, it will flow in the blood. At this time, if I actively use chakra, it will burst out. It won't kill me, but it will cause me more serious injuries. I may even have to stay in bed for several months to recover."
“Tricky abilities”
Tsunade only needed to analyze it and she found that what Li Zhongren said was true. These things were like time bombs. Even for her, it would not be a matter of a day or two to pull them out without triggering them.
"Didn't she tell me how to remove this ability?"
"Go to the Sand Ninja and beg her, or... suffer for a month."
"Go to the Sand Ninja and beg her, or... suffer for a month."
In the distance, a battery ninja from the Senju clan's ninja unit was silently watching the conversation between Li Zhongren and Senju Tsunade. Although he could not hear the sound at this distance, he could hear all the words just said by reading their lips.
Then, a breeze blew past him and floated into the sky.
Farther away, someone seems to be taking over
In this way, the wind spreads bit by bit.
Finally, it landed on Konoha, the root
Two updates, and a short nap.
