Chapter 63: The Assassin Who Lurked
Although Yamanaka Kaichi didn't tell Echizen Kazuya what kind of ninjutsu he was going to teach in the end, Echizen Kazuya was already full of expectations, and the ninjutsu that Yamanaka Haiichi, who was an elite ninja, could say in a show-off tone, would definitely not be a big deal!
Kazuya Echizen happily thought about the ninjutsu that Kaichi Yamanaka might teach, while looking at the attribute panel and checking the results of his efforts.
"Echizen Kazuya, Date of Birth: July 13, Konoha 45, Age: 3 years and 5 months, Body: 58.3, Strength: 21.6, Speed: 50.3 Essence: 116.2, Qi: 45.6, God: 136.8.

11. Doppelganger: 56.0% proficiency;
12. Stand-in technique: proficiency 60.2%;
13. Transformation Technique: 59.1% proficiency; β
A month has passed, Echizen Kazuya has made great progress, except for the sword intent, which is not clear how to improve, all attributes, skill proficiency have improved significantly, and there are also two more skills that have been cultivated to MAX, Kunai Throwing and Soft Bone Gong.
On the basis of the kunai throw, Echizen Kazuya has developed a new skill "Xiyi Blade", which is the skill that throws the third kunai against Yamanaka Haiichi, and it is a technique that can make the kunai "disappear" in the air.
After consulting Yamanaka many times, he tried many different throwing techniques, and after considering how to make the kunai enter the enemy's line of sight, Echizen Kazuya finally succeeded in upgrading the "kunai throw".
According to the Tao Te Ching, "Seeing it without seeing it is called Yi, and hearing it is not known as Xi", he named his silent secret weapon skill "Xiyi Blade".
However, the current "Xiyi Blade" is still far from perfect, and Kunai can only disappear from the vision of a single enemy for a short period of time.
After about three meters of detachment, the kunai will disappear from the enemy's field of vision, and after another two or three meters of flight, it will reappear in the enemy's field of vision.
Therefore, it is still easy for an experienced opponent to determine the position of the kunai and its final target from the kunai's flight trajectory. So only in the case of occasional use, can it have a surprising effect.
Kazuya Echizen is thinking about continuing to improve his throwing techniques and making the skills of "Xiyi Blade" more perfect and hidden.
And the "soft bone skill" is just to practice the proficiency to 100%, although Echizen Kazuya has already thought about the direction of the upgrade in the future, but has not had time to implement it.
Just when Echizen Kazuya was still immersed in the joy of becoming stronger, two uninvited guests came to the entrance of Konoha Village.
"Who are you?" Kenta Uchiha, a member of the Konoha Garrison in charge of the guard, carefully interrogated everyone who wanted to enter Konoha before stopping a convoy led by two ordinary-looking businessmen with flattering smiles on their faces.
After the abduction of Echizen Kazuya, the three Hokages did not punish the Uchiha clan who were in charge of the garrison, but also severely criticized the leader of the garrison, Uchiha Fugaku.
After that, the Uchiha clan, who felt disgraced, raised Konoha's security work by several levels, and every member of the garrison did not dare to slack off, and of course such efforts also achieved good results, catching many spies sent by other countries to lurk in Konoha.
The Uchiha clan, who had made meritorious contributions, were naturally more active, bent on gaining more merit to stabilize the family's current precarious position in the village.
After the Nine-Tails Disaster, the Uchiha clan has been severely marginalized as the object of suspicion, not only has the family station been assigned to the edge of the village, but also is always under the surveillance of the Konoha higher-ups.
"Hello my lord, our two brothers are fur merchants from the country of grass, and we want to sell these goods to Konoha and bring some special products back to the country of grass in Konoha Village," Hibiki Hase, disguised as a merchant, pointed to several trucks behind him, and nodded to Kenta Uchiha, a member of the guard.
"Merchant?" With a skeptical attitude, the Uchiha asked commandingly, "Have you ever been to Konoha Village before?" β
"It's our first time here," Hibiki Hasei quickly replied, and then made a look of bitterness and helplessness, and said in a sullen voice: "Our two brothers have always been running between the country of grass and the country of earth, but after the country of earth was defeated by the country of fire, they drove us out and closed the country. After some discussion, the two brothers decided to visit the rich land of fire, hoping to find a way to live. β
Hearing Hibiki Hase's good words about the Land of Fire, Uchiha Kenta and Yuri are honored, and the Uchiha clan also played an important role in defeating the Iwa Ninja Village in the Land Country.
After repeated interrogation and inspection, Kenta Uchiha, who did not find anything suspicious, allowed Hibiki Hase's request to enter the village.
But according to the rules, personnel were sent to monitor Hibiki Hase's party.
The calm Haseki brothers were not complacent about their smooth entry into the village, and spent the next few days visiting the shops in Konoha Village, selling their own goods and buying some Konoha specialties at the same time, behaving no different from ordinary merchants who were desperately seeking business opportunities.
As is customary, after spying on the Haseki brothers for three days, the Konoha ninja, who had not found anything, canceled their surveillance.
After dragging on for a few more days, after making sure that no one was keeping an eye on him, the two brothers Hibiki Hasei and Hibiki Haseki showed their fangs, and while conscientiously pretending to be a businessman, they began to secretly investigate the whereabouts of Echizen Kazuya every day and collect more information.
By chance, they also found Kakashi, who was called out by Echizen Kazuya and had been secretly protecting Echizen Kazuya, and the root ninja who exposed his horse's feet, and knew that Konoha was closely protecting Echizen Kazuya.
The two of them, who had expected this, were not surprised by this, but calmed down and waited patiently, looking for opportunities for the protection personnel to slack off, and Echizen Kazuya, who often frequented, suitable for assassination, and so on.
The Hasean brothers, who have been lurking, keep an eye on Echizen Kazuya's living habits every day, determine his travel trajectory, and of course discover that Echizen Kazuya is instructing other children in their practice.
Looking at the progress speed of those children one by one, which was far beyond ordinary people, the two brothers secretly spoke, and felt deeply that Echizen Kazuya was powerful, they didn't believe that the reason why those children made rapid progress was because all the children who practiced with Echizen Kazuya were geniuses.
The Hasei brothers, who were desperate, also understood why Suzuki Taiga took the risk of kidnapping Kazuya Echizen.
The two brothers are worthy of being top-notch assassination ninjas, and their disguises are extremely successful, and the operation to obtain information about Echizen Kazuya is so hidden that even Kakashi does not even notice it.
Of course, Echizen Kazuya didn't know anything about the actions of the Hasei brothers in the following time, and at this time he was still looking forward to the ninjutsu that Kaichi Yamanaka was about to hand over to him!
