Naruto let out a loud cry and sat down in the grass.

"Don't!"

Heiji reminded loudly.

However, it was already too late.

Naruto was suddenly hung upside down from the treetops with his head down and on his feet.

His brain was instantly congested, and Naruto's face was suffocated to a faint purple.

"Hey——! What's going on? Why are there traps here? ”

Naruto stared at Heiji with an angry face, swaying his body vigorously, swaying back and forth like a pendulum, but he was completely powerless to break free.

Ping Ji spread his hands: "Okay, this trap was actually set by me." Not for you, though......"

Sou!

Sou!

Sou!

……

Before Heiji could react, dozens of shuriken tore through the air, and with a whistle-like sharp sound, they shot at all the vital points around him.

Heiji, as a weak teenager who is powerless, can only rely on instinct to curl up his body in an instant, and shrink the target for the enemy to shoot as much as possible.

Bite! Bite! Bite!

This is the crunch sound that a shuriken makes when it is nailed to hard metal.

At the same time, Heiji felt a piercing pain in his left arm......

Although a steel plate was hidden in the front of the chest, which resisted most deadly attacks, the arm was still hit!

"Shot by so many shurikens and not dead? It's a big life. ”

A handsome-looking middle-aged ninja suddenly appeared in front of Heiji, carrying two huge shurikens on his back, but with an evil and obscene smile flashing on his face.

"Mr. Mizuki, it's a pity that your creamy face was completely ruined by this smile."

Pingji coughed lightly, a touch of red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but the expression on his face looked calm and abnormal.

"Damn imp...... Let's kill that nine-tailed imp first. ”

Mizuki was furious by Heiji's calm eyes, and looked up at Naruto Uzumaki, who was hanging above his head and swaying, and suddenly reached out and took a huge shuriken from his back and shot it at Naruto Uzumaki, who was trapped by the rope.

Naruto Uzumaki's entire body had now swayed to the top of the pendulum's trajectory, almost standing still in the air, watching as the huge shuriken pierced into his chest, powerless to fight back.

Poof——!

There was a muffled sound.

Naruto Uzumaki's entire body suddenly exploded, turning into a faint white smoke.

Shadow Clone???

Mizuki's pupils contracted instantly.

Is this still Naruto Uzumaki, who couldn't even succeed in the most basic doppelganger technique during the test the day before?

Why did you split a shadow clone with combat ability and enough to mess with reality?

A loud gust of wind sounded from behind him.

Mizuki felt a chill in his back, and just wanted to dodge to avoid it, he felt that he was hit by a bison of several hundred kilograms in the back, and the whole person was directly knocked out, and he smashed into Pingji in front of him impartially.

Poof-smack!

Mizuki's internal organs that had just been hit were all displaced, and before he could recover his senses, he felt a chill in his chest, and a shuriken pierced through the gap between the two ribs in his chest, and pierced into his heart impartially!

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and before Mizuki could make the slightest move, the whole person had already fallen to the ground, and a large amount of bright red blood poured out of his mouth and the wound on his chest, dyeing the tender green grass under him into a strange scarlet.

"I'm such a fool...... He really lied to me......"

Another Naruto Uzumaki stood behind Mizuki's corpse in a daze, the surface of his body covered in a fiery red chakra, exuding a thick evil aura.

Heiji frowned and pulled out the shuriken on his left arm.

Blood poured out of the wound, unhurried.

"Hey! Don't stand stupidly, bandage me first! Also, don't forget what you promised, if you lose, you'll invite me to eat ramen! Ichiraku ramen! ”

……

Ichiraku ramen shop.

Heiji held a bowl of pork bone barbecued pork ramen bigger than his own head, and sucked it slowly, feeling the warmth of being healed throughout his body and mind.

"Hey! Pingji, this is already the 5th bowl! If you continue to eat like this, my pocket money for this month will be gone! ”

Naruto was sweating profusely as he sucked on the ramen in his bowl, and he didn't forget to raise his head to persuade Heiji next to him.

On Naruto's left side, there were already 8 empty sea bowls, and not even a drop of the soup was left.

"One more bowl!"

Heiji finally cleaned the large bowl of noodles in front of him and shouted loudly.

"Enough, Heiji! You can only eat a maximum of 2 bowls on weekdays, how can you eat so much today? I'm losing a lot this time! ”

Naruto screamed, turning his grief into appetite, his eyes glaring, eager to eat the large bowl of ramen in front of him.

Just killed Mizuki, a traitor at the middle ninja level, with his own hands, Heiji felt that his whole person had a feeling of being reborn.

"Congratulations on killing the first traitor in your life!"

"Renegade Name: Kentaro Mizuki"

"Renegade Level: Normal Medium Ninja"

"Kill Difficulty: Half Star"

"Quest Reward: Chakra Awakening"

"Title Level: Renegade Hunter (Starter)"

"Title Bonus: Chakra Amount Gain 5%"

Pingji looked at this series of prompts on the system interface over and over again, and really felt that there was a blazing flame burning in the position of his lower abdomen dantian.

The significance of "Chakra Awakening" is too great, which means that Heiji has finally escaped the weak status of a civilian and has a chance to become a real ninja.

"Whew—I'm full!"

Heiji ate the sixth bowl of ramen with difficulty, and felt that he couldn't even hold a stick of ramen and a mouthful of noodle soup in his stomach.

Naruto had already eaten 15 bowls of ramen......

He squeezed his wallet with his hand and sighed softly, clearly still a little unsatisfied.

"Sure enough, it's a monster, it's not comparable to ...... at all. Belch! ”

Heiji shook his head and looked at Naruto helplessly, the momentum of not admitting defeat just now was only endless burping.

A cool breeze suddenly blew in from behind him.

Uncle Ichiraku, who was looking at Heiji and Naruto with a kind face, became slightly more solemn.

"Are you the one who is the peace?"

A very magnetic voice came from behind him, cold and slightly lazy.

Heiji turned around and saw a mysterious ninja wearing a cat-face mask and a black cloak standing behind him.

This is a dark ninja in Konoha Hidden Village.

On weekdays, it is rare to see them in the village in the open and honest appearance of this when they are on a mission.

For Ichiraku Ramen Shop, this dark ninja is also a rare customer.

Heiji slowly stood up and looked at each other without saying a word.

"Would you like to be a ninja?"

Heiji was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly but firmly.

"Come with me."

The man spoke very crisply and succinctly, turned and walked out.

Heiji did not hesitate at all, and followed out without hesitation.

The sky above was already full of stars.

At the lively Konoha Village Night Market, colorful neon signs have been lit up.

The streets are crowded with pedestrians, and they are extremely lively.

Even so, between the vast heaven and earth, the lights and bustle are only an insignificant corner; As far as the eye can see, there is endless coldness and darkness everywhere.
