"Where did these stinky little ghosts come from?"

In the dark and empty forest, a man is fleeing in a panic.

From the sound of running footsteps, you can hear that the speed of the man running is very fast.

He gritted his teeth in hatred, but at the same time he couldn't help but glance back.

There was darkness in the depths of the forest, and in the darkness it was as if a beast had already opened its bloody jaw, chasing after him and biting at it.

The man swallowed his saliva a little, his heart beat sharply, then shook his head, and ran faster.

Along the way, the man constantly searched for large plants around him that could be covered, hoping to take advantage of the natural complex environment of the forest to hide his figure.

Soon, he found a hiding spot, hid behind a tree, stopped his escape, and began to gasp for breath behind the tree, his face pale.

The corner of his eye began to shift to the side and back, and he didn't see the figure of the pursuer, and he was slightly relieved in his heart, feeling that he was in a safe environment for the time being.

"Damn, it's not the way to go on like this, and one of them seems to have white eyes...... Setting up a trap of procrastination is a waste of time. ”

The man activates his brain and begins to think about how he can escape from the ninja with white eyes.

Although it was more than ten years ago that he defected to Sand Hidden Village, he was also a ninja who had participated in the Third Ninja World War, so he naturally knew how powerful White Eyes were.

Today, the ninja clan with white eyes in the ninja world is divided into two family systems.

One is the Hyuga clan of Konoha, and it is also the orthodox Hyuga clan recognized by the ninja world.

And the other Hyuga clan with white eyes,It belongs to the newly promoted big country Oni Country.,Although it's not the Hyuga orthodoxy recognized by the ninja world.,But in the Oni Country.,It's also a powerful force that can rank among the upper echelons.。

Its leader, Hinata Ayane, is a powerful ninja comparable to the Five Shadows, which even Konoha Hyuga orthodoxy is ashamed of.

"Hinuga of the Oni Country......"

The man gasped low, behind the trees, trying to suppress his presence.

While taking out the ration pills from the ninja bag, he stuffed them into his mouth and took them.

The physical strength and chakra recovered a little, which made the man's complexion much better.

But the crisis has not yet been resolved.

He knew that once he was locked in position by Whiteeye, it would be difficult to get rid of Whiteeye's pursuit.

In terms of search ability, it is much more powerful than the perceptual ninjutsu used by perceptual ninjas.

However, there are also disadvantages, that is, the searchable range of the white eye will not be very far, although the accuracy is more accurate than the perception ninjutsu, but the white eye's ability to detect without dead ends, the range is far narrower than that of the perception ninjutsu.

If you want to get rid of the pursuit of the white eye, you can only take advantage of the weakness of the white eye, which is not a weakness.

As for why the Oni no Kuni sent ninjas to hunt him down, the man was confused.

It stands to reason that the country of oni and the bounty hunters like him, who have long since defected from the ninja village, are basically well water that does not interfere with river water.

The big man behind the underground black market, when he was in conflict with the country of ghosts in the past, he never had the idea of provoking the country of ghosts.

Once as a member of the Sand Hidden Village, he knew very well how powerful and terrifying the military power of the Sand Hidden Village was.

The country of demons, which can defeat the sand from the front, has long surpassed the country of wind in military power.

Only stupid people and idiots, or those who are really not afraid of death, would be bold enough to go toe-to-toe with the great powers.

And it turns out that the underground black market market has shrunk seriously, and even the big people behind him have no choice but to withdraw the black market forces in the western part of the continent to minimize the conflict with the country of ghosts and avoid greater losses.

"Could it be that I offended the people of the Oni Country in a bounty mission in the past?"

The man continued to speculate on the issue.

If this problem is not solved, even if you can get rid of the ninja behind you this time, the next time the Oni no Kuni may send even more powerful ninjas to hunt you down.

But as a man who has been in the underground black market for more than ten years and has not been arrested by the Shayin Dark Department, he has always lived according to the principle of caution and not causing trouble.

If the bounty is beyond his ability, or if he wants to make an enmity with some terrible force, he will not accept it.

From this point of view, the country of ghosts has no reason to target him.

……

"The other party stopped."

The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy with long black hair, the bruises next to his eyes protruded, and the pure white pupils did not contain any impurities, and after penetrating the layers of obstacles, he accurately found the place where the target was hiding.

"The chakra is very disorganized, and the nerves seem to be tense."

On the side, a girl with long red hair and about twelve or thirteen years old lifted the red-rimmed glasses on her face, and after releasing her sentient ninja, she sensed the target's chakra condition at this time. It can even detect that the subject's nervous system is in a state of tension based on the fluctuations of the target's chakra.

"Pursuing to this extent, the opponent's physical strength should be almost exhausted. Color, report his direction, distance, and how many obstacles there are. ”

The young man wearing monocles, older than the man and woman next to him, took out a kunai from his ninja bag and played with it in his hand, and around his body, a trace of electricity seeped out of the atmosphere.

Especially in the palm of the hand holding Kunai, the blue lightning flickered faintly, and then quickly disappeared.

"Hmm...... At 11 o'clock in front, at a distance of 120 meters, if you attack from Asuka Brother, there are four trees in the way as an obstacle. ”

With white eyes, he immediately reported the direction of the other party, the distance, and the obstacles that existed on the way.

"Four trees, one hundred and twenty meters...... In this case, I won't be able to save chakra, and it's barely within my attack range. ”

The bird muttered the information reported by Cai, and a dense electric light suddenly gathered in the palm of his hand, and the air around him was also a dense array of tiny electric snakes, making a sound like leakage.

"Go ahead."

Asuka shook the kunai out of his hand with all his might, and the dazzling electric light flashed away from the kunai, and the kunai, who flew forward quickly, lost its traces in the blink of an eye.

I saw a large tree not far away, and I could see a large hole in the bowl from the center, and I could clearly see the scenery from the opposite side.

Rumble!

The sound of explosions on the ground.

In the midst of this violent explosion, the screams of human pain were also heard.

"Up!"

Using this scream as a signal, the three Asuka immediately launched a teleportation technique, disappeared from the spot, and ran forward at a rapid speed, chasing the enemy.

The man hiding behind the tree rolled on the ground in embarrassment, his left body was dripping with blood, and there was a piece of flesh on his shoulder that seemed to have been ripped off, and the flesh was blurred.

The paralysis of the electric current made the man move extremely slowly, and his left arm was completely crippled and unusable.

Beads of sweat were dripping down his face, his teeth were clenched together, and he held back the pain and didn't scream again.

Can't stop here! The man thought to himself.

Being able to attack here from a distance proves that his position on this side has been exposed.

Staying here is a dead end.

Frightened as he watched as the kunai had blown a crater in the ground, he was stuck diagonally into the small crater intact.

The man got up and jumped, ready to run away into the distance.

However, no sooner had his front foot left the ground than a flash of light swept past him.

The sharp breath cut the skin of his face.

Rumble!

A large rock in front of it was shattered.

Stuck there was still a swarthy, reflective kunai.

Although the appearance is the same as that of ordinary kunai, after such a terrifying burst of energy and shattering the rock, there is still no defect, so it is clear that this is not an ordinary material kunai.

The man's body rolled to the side, and the impact air generated by the explosion made his body a little unbearable.

Blood was still gushing from his left arm, the blood loss was severe, the man's lips had turned white, and the color of the skin on his face had begun to turn grayish.

"Gossip Empty Palm!"

The air flow quickly compressed in the palm of his hand, and then was launched like a cannonball, hitting the man's body.

The man dodged on the ground, barely dodging the air cannonball.

The ability to react flexibly in his body is reflected in him.

Seeing that the man dodged his attack, Cai didn't care, but leaned forward, concentrated chakra on his legs, and the speed generated by the explosion made the man only see an afterimage rapidly approaching him.

It's too late! The man had just settled down, looking at Cai, who was already close at hand, so he had to raise his right arm, which was still intact, and began to block.

Poof!

The man's face was contorted, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes.

Cai's two fingers were like sharp blades, piercing directly into the man's arm.

Soft Fist Method: Point Point!

Sharp chakra currents emanated from the fingertips.

Click!

The sound of a bone severing through the middle can be heard very clearly.

"Ahh

The man let out a cry of pain, and his right arm seemed to be unconscious, completely unable to move, and like his left arm, there was no way to seal.

Pitch-black lightning flashed from behind the color body.

With a snort, the kunai sank into the man's throat, and not a drop of blood spurted out, and the wound that could spurt blood was blocked by the kunai.

The man made an inexplicable sound from his mouth, and then fell to the ground, his body cold and motionless.

Cai's fingers were also smoothly pulled out of the man's arm, and the two fingers were not stained with any blood, and there was a chakra film on the outside to protect the fingers, keeping the blood out of the chakra film.

"Tsk, you two brothers are really, they fight with such terrifying tricks every time."

Looking at the tragic appearance of the man's death, there was still a little fear on his face, and Xiang Li, who was wearing long red hair, rushed to the scene and sighed.

After seeing this corpse, I felt a little sick to my stomach.

Although she didn't kill the person, she herself was also an 'accomplice'.

Cai tilted her head and replied: "It's nothing, I usually practice a lot with my mother and Aunt Ruri, and when I fight, I can't help but attack the fatal part of the human body." Ninja fighting is not child's play, and only by solving the enemy as soon as possible can your situation become safe. ”

For Cai, the enemy who can be defeated must quickly defeat the opponent, without giving the other side the slightest respite, and the Jedi has a chance to turn the tables.

Asuka then recycled the kunai scattered around.

Different from ordinary kunai, the kunai he uses is his own special kunai, which can better cooperate with his Thunder Escape Ninjutsu to attack the enemy from a distance.

"Okay, the mission goal has been cleared, let's go to the meeting place first and meet Teacher Yan. The corpse is left to you, Xianglin. ”

Asuka, as the captain, began to give orders.

"Got it, Asuka-senpai...... Uh, no, it's supposed to be Captain Asuka now. ”

Receiving the order, Kaori took out a scroll, endured the nausea, and sealed the body of the male ninja inside the scroll.

After tidying up the scene, the trio quickly left.

◎

"Thank you for your hard work, how is it, how do you feel when you see blood for the first time? What's the burden not there's on? ”

In a hotel room, the three Asuka met their mentor, Shinobu Uchiha.

The other party is the powerful Shinobi of the Uchiha clan in the country of ghosts, and he is also a close subordinate of Asuka's mother, Uchiha Ruri.

His strength, even in the military of the country of ghosts, where there are so many masters, can occupy a place.

It's June now.,The country of ghosts is going to participate in the middle ninja exam this year.,Ended a two-month or so garrison internship career.,Under the leadership of their respective mentors.,Handover with the underground black market platform.,Temporarily become a bounty hunter.,Participate in various actual battles.,Accumulate experience.。

This hunt for the rebel ninja in Shayin Village is the first mission of the Asuka team in actual combat training.

After the three returned, the Uchiha asked them how they felt after completing the mission, not wanting the three of Asuka to have psychological problems because of such a thing.

"It doesn't feel like much, after all, the psychological preparation for killing people has been arranged by the school before graduation."

Asuka spoke out about her feelings.

He is the leader of the team, and he is a few years older than Aya and Kari. Although there was a trace of uncomfortable rejection in his body at the moment of killing, this uncomfortable feeling of rejection quickly disappeared from his body.

Now that his mood has completely calmed down, he will not be affected by such a thing as killing, which will cause his state to deteriorate.

Aya's expression was rather indifferent, and it seemed to be similar to Asuka's feelings.

For him, hunting large beasts of prey, and hunting ninjas, there is no difference at all.

He's been treated as an elite since he was a child.,In terms of the quality of a ninja.,It's better than his brother Asuka.。

The psychological preparation for ninja killing, this kind of thing, he has already prepared.

"It's a little nauseous, and I want to throw up."

Xiang Lian said bitterly, and made a retching gesture.

Unlike the two boys, she was also injured and bleeding during actual combat exercises in the past, but that situation was completely different from the real murder scene.

In terms of the degree of blood, it is also the latter that stimulates her sensitive nerves as a woman more.

Until now, she still remembered what the corpse looked like when it died, and there was no way to immediately erase this image from her mind.

But if there is any substantial psychological burden, she also shook her head.

"Just get used to it, it's a necessary part of ninja growth. Only a ninja who sees blood can be a ninja, otherwise it is just a flower in a greenhouse. In contrast, the ninjas of your time are already very lucky, unlike our time, when wars often broke out......"

Uchiha said with feelings.

But before he finished his complete sentence, Xiang Lian began to roll his eyes and interrupted:

"Teacher, why are you as verbose as my mother? You are always preachy like an old man, and you will definitely enter old age early. ”

"Anyway, I'm only in my early forties."

Uchiha glared at Kao.

Although as a man, he doesn't care too much about his age like a woman, but he still can't accept the fact that he is old.

Moreover, his body is still at its peak, and he still has a long way to go before he enters old age.

"Anyway, is the reward target brought back to us at our own disposal?"

Xiang Rin couldn't help but ask.

The thought of the corpse in the scroll, worth one million taels, even if it was divided equally among three people, each of them could get a high reward of more than 300,000 taels, which made Xiang Lian's heart very hot.

This feeling of burning in my heart caused even the disgusting feeling of killing people to dissipate a lot from my heart.

"If you think too much, the bounty target will naturally be handed over to the top for disposal. You will only be paid a tenth of the bounty. ”

Uchiha Yan glanced at Kaori helplessly.

"Damn capitalists!"

Xianglian thought that she had worked hard for a long time to get such a small amount of money, and her mood suddenly became depressed.

But he didn't disobey the order, and honestly handed over the scroll where the body was sealed to Uchiha Yan.

"Don't complain, if you have this time, it's better to improve yourself, as long as you occupy a high position in the military in the future, money is the least valuable thing. As for the next mission, I'll tell you about it next week. In the past few days, you should digest the results of this mission, adjust your mood by the way, and check what you still have shortcomings. ”

Uchiha said.

To become a ninja is to kill people, and this is something that every ninja has to go through.

Although the ninja school in the country of demons has set up so-called psychological counseling classes, it is difficult for Uchiha to accurately judge the specific extent of the effect.

Rather than killing, Uchiha Yan hopes that the three of Asuka can understand what the heaviness of life is.

Whether it's one's own, or the lives of others.

From the moment you become a ninja, you have already embarked on the road of no return.

Uchiha said that during the Konoha period, he had seen too many ninjas who had been psychologically distorted because of too much killing. These ninjas would even lose control and hurt their teammates, resulting in the surveillance and imprisonment of the ninja village, and the end could be described as extremely bleak.

Therefore, those who are not fully prepared will fall to pieces on the path of ninja.

"What, you're underestimating us."

After Uchiha leaves, Karen begins to vent her frustration.

"No, I think Mr. Yan is right, we need to adjust our state as soon as possible to meet the next mission."

Asuka sat aside, took out a piece of sandpaper, and carefully grinded it on the kunai, although it is a special kunai, it also needs to be maintained from time to time to prolong its life.

"It doesn't matter, it's an easy task anyway."

Xiang Lian responded.

Saying this kind of thing, she is not only confident in her own strength, but also full of confidence in her two teammates.

"That's the best, but I think the next goals are probably better than the other. In the end, even if you start a desperate struggle with the real Shangnin, it is not impossible to do so. ”

Asuka makes this guess.

With the help of the underground black market platform to sharpen the new recruits of this year, the military paid not only money, but also a lot of human resources to circle such a near-real combat venue. After paying such a huge price, as recruits, they will certainly not have an easy time here, and some of these trials may be accompanied by huge life-threatening risks.

"Shangnin? It doesn't matter, with the ability of the three of us, even if we deal with a shinobi, it's not impossible to do it. ”

Xianglin's brows furrowed slightly, and she quickly relaxed again.

Although with the current strength of their squad, it is very reluctant to deal with the upper ninja, but under the reasonable tactical arrangement, it may not be impossible to use the team advantage to defeat the ninja of the upper ninja level.

What's more, her perceptual ninjutsu, as well as her colorful white eyes, are all abilities at the strategic level, and in terms of tactical formulation, she will definitely be able to get the first strike in battle.

"There is also a huge gap between upper ninja and upper ninja...... Moreover, what if you have to deal with not one upper ninja later, but multiple upper ninjas? ”

Asuka stopped what he was doing to maintain the kunai, pushed the monocle he was wearing on his face, and said the worst that could happen.

Sure enough, hearing Asuka's pessimistic speculation, Xiang Lian couldn't help but shudder.

In the case of reasonable tactics, with the ability of the three of them, it is not difficult to deal with a Shangnin.

But if you deal with two or more than two shinobi at the same time, even if it is Xianglin, the expression on his face is full of solemnity and panic.

In the ninja world, Shimoshinobi is just a group of recruits with no experience, or very little experience. The strength is generally weak, and the team is poor, and the most cannon fodder representatives on the battlefield.

The middle ninja is a powerful ninja who has accumulated a lot of actual combat, and because of the long-term battle, it can give full play to the advantages of team fighting. It is a ninja village, or a relatively important backbone of the country.

And when it comes to the upper ninja level, the number begins to decrease dramatically.

Each Shinobi is a valuable elite combat power.

The single upper ninja is very difficult to deal with for the lower ninja team. Most of the lower ninja squads, in the face of a single upper ninja, will also be quickly wiped out by the upper ninja with the power of thunder.

If multiple shinobi exist at the same time and cooperate with each other...... This kind of severe test is by no means something that Shinobi can afford.

But if you think about it, this kind of thing is very likely to happen.

Among this year's recruits in the country of ghosts, there are also strong and weak differences.

The team she is in is undoubtedly the best level among the lower ninjas of the Ghost Country.

This also means that the test faced by their team is also much more difficult than that of the rest of the Shinobi team. Asuka's speculation is not unfounded.

"The goal of this mission, the strength is in the middle of the ninja, it is already quite good, but in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the three of us, it will seem weak. In other words, it is a shinobi, even if the three of them are united, you have to be careful. Maybe next week's task is to deal with a genuine ninja. We're going to use this week to take the team as a whole and the individual to the next level. ”

During the ninja school period, Asuka served in the military of the Oni Country, studying and manufacturing various industrial weapons, so he knew the background of the military very well.

In addition, there is the most powerful chamber of commerce in the ninja world behind it as economic support, which can make the powerful machine of the military rotate at an extremely terrifying speed.

This huge machine is running, and it is difficult for any of the traditional five powers to rely on their own military power to counterbalance.

The country of ghosts emphasizes the integration of military, politics, and economy, but in this extremely special era when the situation in various countries is unstable, all politics and economics are for the purpose of military operations.

Even if it is a neutral unit such as the underground black market, which does not belong to any country, the country of ghosts has the ability to interfere from the inside, and use the underground black market as a neutral platform to train new recruits to shinobi.

Therefore, it may be too extravagant to arrange a ninja-level bounty target from the underground black market to supply the training of recruits in the Oni Country, but Asuka understands that it is not difficult to do such a thing as long as the military wants to.

Asuka never puts his hopes on luck.

According to this process, it was only a matter of time before they faced a ninja-level battle.

"In October's joint middle ninja exam, among the rest of the ninja villages, maybe there are quite powerful lower ninjas, otherwise the above will not suddenly become strict this year...... In this way, this year's Zhongnin exam will be a little more interesting than in previous years. ”

Asuka held the kunai in his hand and whispered to himself, a smile of interest in his eyes.
