Chapter 24: The Calm Before the Storm

"Militants?"

The fat old man nodded, and then said, "It is said that he is Sakumo's classmate, and he is also an outstanding ninja whose graduation score is second only to Saun. It's just that because he lost his right arm in a mission, his strength has stopped moving from then on......"

Aiba took over: "After losing his right arm in Shiranui, the school wanted him to be a teacher, but he refused. ”

"We thought he would be idle from now on, but unexpectedly, he actually learned to use his left hand to wield a knife, and returned to the mission as a shinobi, and finally died in a battle with Sha Yin."

"With the knife in his left hand, he still continues to carry out the task as a middle ninja? He's so powerful? The thin old man looked surprised.

The fat old man said: "The ninja who lost his right arm, no matter how powerful he is, how powerful can he be." Let me tell you, in order to go to the battlefield, he bought 2,000 detonation charms from me in one go. ”

"Two thousand!"

The fat old man nodded: "At that time, the detonation charm was still expensive, I estimate that for these two thousand detonation charms, even if you don't know the fire, it will be almost the same...... It can be seen how warlike this man is, and the loss of his right arm and the bankruptcy of his family cannot stop him. ”

Ape Feiyan's face had already changed a little: "But what does this have to do with Xuanjian?" ”

Xiangye glanced at him: "My nephew, who is a weaponry master in your shop, mentioned to me a few days ago that the kid who didn't know the fire genma spent more than 700,000 taels to buy a silver blade...... Hey, exactly like his father. ”

"Such people are born into war, and they are not destined to honestly hide in their houses and draw talismans."

Ape Feiyan said with a little stumbling: "It's just a knife, and it's only more than 700,000, now the situation is tense, it's normal to buy it for self-defense." ”

"That's just 700,000, that's for us. How long has the kid been a junior talisman, and how much savings can he have? Aiba shook his head.

"And according to you, his talent for talisman making is amazing. Although I don't know much about talisman making, I do know that talisman making requires a lot of chakra control ability, so it seems that the child's talent as a ninja must be extraordinary. Am I right? ”

"......," Ape Feiyan was silent for a while, lowered his head and said, "Not only that, but he was able to use the Shadow Clone Technique when he was nine years old. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Xiangye was stunned for a moment. Several other old men also had a little shock written on their faces.

"So, not only is he outstanding in chakra control, but he is also very good at chakra?"

Xiang Ye said with some sighs: "Such a genius, it is impossible to be willing to be a talisman maker, not to mention that he also has a 'good father' as an example." ”

"I have a hunch, Lao Yan, this talisman master apprentice you have high hopes for will most likely shine as a ninja on the battlefield in the future."

……

Fire Country, February 643.

In the courtyard, Shiranui Genma held a long knife in his right hand, stared at the wooden stake in front of him, and stared for a moment.

Immediately, he only heard a soft shout, and the whole person turned into an afterimage, and instantly rushed towards the stake.

The cold light suddenly appeared, faintly there was a flash of fire, only to hear a few "clicks", I don't know that when the fire was closed, the wooden stake was broken into several pieces and scattered all over the ground.

The neat incisions of the wooden blocks were faintly blackened, as if they had just been swept by a blazing flame.

Turning to look at the wooden blocks scattered on the ground, he didn't know that Huo Genma's face was expressionless.

The fire-attribute chakra and the sharp weapon seem to be a bit mismatched...... At least with his current strength, attaching chakra to the knife really doesn't play a big role.

The wind attribute and the weapon are a good match, but his second attribute has not been developed much, and he can't even do a wind escape ninjutsu, and his effect is also limited.

He shook his head, put Yin Feng into the scabbard at his waist, and turned around and went out.

Previously, due to the shyness of his pocket, after several considerations, he bought this relatively long silver blade.

Now, the bad news is that he can't add much power to the chakra by attaching it for the time being, and the good news is that the height problem is no longer there.

Shortly after buying the knife, Shiranui Genma entered the puberty of physiological development, and his height, weight, and even chakra began to grow faster than ever.

Now his height has reached 1.6 meters, although he is still a cut away from the adult level, there is nothing awkward about using this knife.

In addition, with the rapid growth of chakra, Shiranui Genma can finally learn and practice ninjutsu more often.

Several commonly used C-level fire escape ninjutsu, such as the Hao Fireball Technique, the Dragon Fire Technique, and the Flame Bullet Technique, he had mastered them one by one in the past few months.

Spiral Pill also completed the third stage of practice, but the result did not satisfy him, he always felt that his Spiral Pill was missing something, and the power was not as amazing as he imagined.

It seems that in addition to the three-stage practice, the Spiral Pill should have some trick-like things, and he still needs to explore it again.

Of course, even though it's just a monkey version of the Spiral Pill, in terms of practicality, it's still stronger than ordinary C-level ninjutsu, and it's a big reliance for Shiranui Genma at this stage.

I don't know that Huo Genma feels that with a small number of charms now, it shouldn't be a big problem to kill a middle ninja......

Thinking like this, I didn't know that Huo Genma put his hands in his pockets, walked slowly to a nearby restaurant, and met a person he knew.

"Kakashi." He said hello.

Kakashi was carrying a bag of salt-roasted saury, looked up when he heard the sound, and responded, "Genma." ”

Compared to a few years ago, Kakashi can now be said to have experienced a lot of battles, seen a lot of bloodshed and sacrifice, and is not as cheerful as before, and his listless temperament is becoming more and more prominent.

This can be regarded as confirming the idea of ignorant fire Genma.

There are some side effects of a child's early withdrawal from the learning environment.

"Hmm, you're about to become an intermediate talisman maker, right?" Kakashi asked.

"It's just that the detonation talisman formation rate has reached 60%, and the standard for intermediate talismans is more than that." Ignori Genma smiled, "In comparison, you should be closer to becoming a shinobi." ”

Kakashi shook his head, "I still need to participate in one more S-class mission to participate in the Shadow Division's upper ninja assessment, but now the situation has changed again, and S-class missions are not so easy to find." ”

"Change?" I don't know the fire and Xuanjian was stunned.

"Well, I heard my dad say that the three generations of Kazekage, who have always been close to Konoha, decided to go to Konoha to discuss the alliance in person...... The tense situation has eased a lot. ”

Three generations of Kazekage, this item should be hanging soon. I don't know what to think about.

"Maybe it's the calm before the storm." He said something as if unintentionally.

"The calm before the storm?"

Kakashi frowned slightly, then stretched his brow again, and said disappreciatively:

"Maybe."

With that, he took the salt-roasted saury and turned away.
