Chapter 52: Transcending the Dead

The night breeze was gentle, and there was a rustle on the branches of the trees next to the Konoha Gate. It was as if the rising moon exhaled a breath of satisfaction to the earth.

Izumo sat alone on the bench next to the gate, bored looking at the moonlit and starry night sky, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Zitie, that guy, it's too long to go to the toilet, ......is it constipated?"

As he was talking, Gangzitie walked in from outside the gate, tied his pants with satisfaction, and walked towards Shenyue Izumo:

"Izumo, you guy, how can you understand the pain of Uncle Ben, the stool that you haven't had in three days, and finally come out, comfortable and comfortable......"

"Whoosh!"

With the sound of cracking the sky, a black light suddenly flashed in front of Gangzitie.

"Bang!"

A shuriken pinned a mission access permit to the gate, and four blurred figures quickly flashed out of the gate.

"Hey! You bastards in the shadows, can't you give us your passes! ”

Startled, Steel Iron Flush blushed and turned around and roared out the door.

"These bastards! Always! The shadows are amazing! Damn ......"

Ignoring his old friend's complaints, Kazuki Izumo pulled out the shuriken, cautiously glanced at it and said with a helpless smile:

"It's long time since you got used to it, haven't these guys always been like this? And ......"

Kazuki Izumo waved the mission entry and exit permit in front of his old friend, and then said:

"This time it's the root ......"

"Roots?!"

Gangzitie's expression froze, and he muttered in an embarrassed whisper:

"It's really rare for these gloomy guys to start walking through the gate as well......"

"No, there's something even rarer, it's a new class of lower ninja led by the root ninja."

Izumo Kamitsuki carefully put away the pass, turned back to the bench and jokingly said:

And, hearing the scolding, wait for him to come back...... Will it spread your strange hobby to the village?

"Probably not......

Gangzitie swallowed his saliva with difficulty, it's over, according to the intelligence ability of the root, if it is spread, he will have no face......

"Sora, is this really good?"

Kurama Yakumo's timid voice sounded.

"Of course, my brother has wanted to do this for a long time, but my brother is incompetent in throwing, and I'm afraid of shooting in the face of that Uncle Zhongnin, you can also try it next time, it's very enjoyable......"

"Shut up!"

Yan Yan, who was exposed, looked ashamed.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

With the sound of empty laughter, the figures of the four members of the ninth class shuttled rapidly on the dense trunks of the trees, and they could reach their destination before dawn at the speed of the four of them.

"Lord Yanyan, your chakra control needs to be strengthened, in this case, it will be easy for the enemy to trace the trail."

The corner of his eye swept over the splinters of wood that splashed from time to time under Yanyan's feet, and Yaksha respectfully told Yanyan about some ninja experiences.

"Chakra? I don't have this thing......"

Yan Yan gave Yaksha a strange look.

"No?! Yes! ”

In disbelief, Yaksha stooped and nearly fell under the tree.

"What a joke!"

Under Kurama Yakumo's sympathetic gaze, Yaksha's eyes widened as he watched the receding tree trunks behind Yan Yan, and the shallow pits crushed by the soles of his feet lined up in a row of conspicuous marks.

"Pure physical power?"

Unconsciously stroking the mask, the horrified Yaksha couldn't help but feel a sense of regret as he remembered Yan Yan's blood-colored dance that rose and tumbled with the rotation of the knife wheel.

"It's a pity, if Lord Yan Yan has chakra, he will definitely become one of the top powerhouses in the ninja world in the future."

After calming down a little, Yaksha suggested:

"Then let's march from the ground, leaving too many traces and causing some unnecessary trouble."

"Huh? No, you don't. ”

Yan Yan gave Yaksha a strange look again.

"Sure enough......"

Yaksha smiled bitterly and shook his head, although his strength is strong, after all, he has just graduated from the ninja school, and Lord Yanyan's ninja experience is still pitiful, so he will suffer a big loss if he continues like this.

Yaksha, who was about to persuade Yan Yan, suddenly found that Yan Yan's feet were empty! Didn't step on the trunk!

"Danger!"

Yaksha screamed and kicked violently, shooting out of the branches, trying to pick up the flames that were stamped under his feet.

However, I saw that Yan Yan did not stagnate, and stepped on his toes in the air at will, as if he had stepped on a real thing, and ran forward in a blink of an eye, followed by another step......

In the moonlight, the two flashed across each other, and the empty Yaksha slammed to the ground with dull eyes.

"Impossible......"

"Bang !!!"

In the dark night, a wave of birds flew up.

"Yaksha-sensei!!"

A surprise sounded from Kurama Yakumo.

"Don't tease Yaksha-sensei anymore! Brother! ”

"Hi~~Hi~~~"

“。。。。。。”

"The mission target is Shouqi Ridge in the Stuffing Country, which was the capital of the Shou no Kuni more than forty years ago, and now there are rumors rife, and it is said that it has become a ghost, but according to the intelligence of the roots, the strangeness on the Shouqi Ridge comes from the former site of the Daimyo Mansion of the former Shou no Kuni. Although the chakra breath is hidden, it is very likely that a powerful illusion-type lizard psychic beast is entrenched there. ”

"We call them the Shousaki lizard."

The four people who arrived at the border of the Stuffed Country were resting by a small stream, and the bruised Yaksha pretended to be calm and explained the mission information to the ninth class.

Looking at Yan Yan, who was sitting on a branch swinging his legs, Yaksha swallowed his saliva and continued with some absent-mindedness:

"According to the information provided by the Honey Country and the Stuffing Country, which captured the first country at that time, the Daimyo of the first country, Tsuyoshi Tsuyosa, did once possess a lizard psychic beast, which caused heavy losses to the two countries, but no one knows how powerful it is and what ability it has.

"The intelligence of these small countries is not yet comprehensive, so due to the scarcity of intelligence, this operation must be cautious."

"Nobody knows about either country? It's impossible, isn't it possible that no one can see such a big psychic beast? ”

Sora listened in amazement as Yaksha explained.

"To be exact, no living person saw it, and the reason why it was determined that the Shousaki lizard was an illusion system was because according to the records, all the people who died for no reason in front of Shousaki Tsuyosa had no scars on their bodies, their faces were frightened, their livers and gallbladders were broken, and they were all scared to death alive."

Yaksha said lightly, this is nothing surprising for an experienced ninja.

"That's ......"

Kurama Yakumo subconsciously tapped her lower lip with her index finger, and the first time she faced an enemy was a fellow illusionist, which made her feel a little competitive.

"Alright, the time is almost up, try to complete the task before dawn."

At this time, the voice of Yan Yan came from above everyone's heads.

"Hey!"

With an exhilarating cheer, everyone continued to move in the direction of Shouqi Ridge.

Yaksha looked at the Yan Yan in front of him with a lot of thoughts, and the look in his eyes became more and more respectful.

"It's almost ......"

Taking advantage of the starry night, after a period of rushing, the four of them came to a narrow mountain road, and a tattered guide sign was inserted at the narrow fork in front of them, one of which pointed to a valley, and the words Shouqiling on the sign were clearly visible, but some of them seemed to be newly replaced.

Sensing that something was wrong, Yaksha pointed in the direction of the valley and whispered:

"Everyone be careful not to separate."

"Hmm!"

The four of them slowly walked into the valley, and the chakra perception ability of Yaksha's upper ninja suddenly decreased, and even the perception of good and evil in the air seemed to be covered in a fog.

"Brother, I feel a powerful malice, but I can't sense the direction."

Sora approached Yan Yan's side and said, his expression a little solemn.

"Well, protect Yakumo and follow me......"

Yan Yan felt that the world in the valley seemed to be different from the outside world, and in addition to a lot of resentment, the smell of blood was also unusually strong.

Looking up through the narrow gap in the mountain, there are no stars and bright moon in the night sky, like a piece of impermeable gauze covering the top of the head, and the further you go, the more inexplicable the atmosphere is.

Kurama Yakumo's face became more and more pale, relying on her powerful spiritual energy, she seemed to sense something, but she couldn't believe it.

"Yan Yansang, it seems that there is something invisible around us, so terrifying......"

Kurama Yakumo whispered tremblingly.

"Indeed......"

Yan Yan squinted his eyes and flashed his hand, and took out the Slashing Knife from the dungeon space, and while the Slashing Sword was held in the palm of his hand, the surrounding dark fog suddenly opened up in Yan Yan's eyes.

"Hiss......"

The scene in front of him made Yan Yan gasp, thousands of geists were approaching the four of them at this time, Yan Yan was not afraid, but a little surprised.

In the ninja world, the theory of ghosts is only circulated in legends and myths, and it is even more nonsense in the eyes of murderous ninjas, but at this moment, it really exists around the ninth class.

With the appearance of the Slashing Sword, a group of wandering spirits seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and they avoided the Yan Yan in an orderly manner, squeezing towards the surrounding mountain walls, only a few warrior spirits wearing armor stared at Yan Yan resentfully, but the breath of the Slashing Soul Dementor made them dare not move.

"Interesting ......"

Yan Yan took two steps forward and jumped up with interest, and in the strange eyes of Yaksha and Sora, the junior spirit child who borrowed the sword snatched a samurai spirit with a towering helmet casually, causing a little commotion among the spirits.

"I caught it!"

Kurama Yakumo looked at Yan Yan with a dull face, grabbed the inexplicable thing in her palm and dragged it to the ground.

"Something!"

Yaksha and Sora naturally didn't think that Yan Yan was crazy, and the two, who had already sensed that something was wrong, looked around vigilantly.

"I want to figure out what the hell this is......"

Yan Yan grinned wickedly.

I saw Yan Yan clench the head of the warrior spirit and smash it to the ground.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

With each smash, the body of the desperately struggling samurai spirit stiffened, and under the horrified gaze of the other three, a human face gradually appeared on the ground.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

A few more hard blows, accompanied by a dull sound, under the careful perception of Kurama Yakumo, the samurai geysm stopped struggling, and the whole body was in rhythmless convulsions, and the surrounding geyists all took a step back in horror.

Kurama Yakumo looked away a little reluctantly, and muttered in a low voice.

"Sure enough...... Yan Yansang is a more terrifying existence than a ghost......"

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Sora asked suspiciously.

"Hmm...... I'm overliving the dead. ”

Yan Yan thought for a moment, waved the monk's robe on his body, and said with a solemn look at the wandering spirits around him.

Geist: Are you serious?
