"It's worthy of being the god of ninjas, that kind of existence, it's really not something I can kill."

Jiaodu recalled the picture of himself being swept away by Mu Dun before, and couldn't help but feel palpitations.

He was sure that if the pillars wanted to kill him at that time, he would never be able to resist, and it was completely luck that he could escape from him.

"Although the mission to assassinate the pillars failed, I guess the village will not blame me, after all, I have suffered a death crisis for this, and I am indeed not an opponent of the pillars."

Kakudu secretly said to himself, he was a ninja of Takikuin Village, and the reason why he assassinated Tsuruma this time was all to carry out the orders of the village leaders.

Just as he was about to go back to the village to report the failure of the mission, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Stop, sneaky, look at you and you're not a good person."

Jiaodu was stunned for a moment, turned his head instantly, and saw a man dressed very similarly to him, the other party was also dressed in black, with gauze covering his face.

"Who are you?" The horns were wary.

"If you don't change your name, you can't change your surname, the masked man is also." Zhou Xuan replied calmly.

Hearing this, Jiaodu's pupils suddenly constricted, and then he sneered: "If wearing a veil on my face is a masked man, then I am also a masked man." ”

"You're provoking me?" Squinting.

Jiaodu just wanted to return to the village as soon as possible at the moment, and he didn't want to make any trouble, so he shook his head and said: "I have no grievances with Your Excellency, and I ask Your Excellency not to ask for trouble." ”

"You deserve to cause me trouble? Eat me and talk about it! ”

Zhou Xuan snorted coldly, and the next moment he made a decisive move, and he sucked it in as soon as the Vientiane Sky shone on the horns.

Jiaodu instantly lost control of his body, and the whole person flew out sideways, and he was shocked and hurriedly threw out the shuriken on his waist.

"HRE Celestial Sign."

Circumvent the cycle of silence and convert the suction into repulsion.

"Bang."

Those shurikens with horns were all shot backwards and smashed to the ground.

"Water escape, the art of the Great Waterfall!"

The horns quickly sealed, and the mouth opened to spew out a torrent of water.

Circumference is still maintained in the posture of one hand outstretched, urging repulsion.

The water exploded, and the horns spurted blood and flew upside down, breaking several tree trunks in a row, struggling to get up.

"This bit of strength also dares to pretend to be a masked man, I really don't know whether to live or die."

The cold voice sounded in his ears, and the horns raised their heads, seeing that the other party flashed in front of them at some point, and was looking down at them condescendingly.

An indescribable sense of terror instantly enveloped the horns, and he couldn't believe it: "You...... Are you really the Masked Man? ”

"Or are you?" Zhou Xuan asked rhetorically.

"The juniors have offended the seniors with no eyes, and I ask the seniors not to be like the juniors." Jiaodu is a smart person, and after understanding that the other party is an existence that he can't provoke, he decisively bows his head and admits his mistake.

He knew each other so well, but Zhou Xuan didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhou Xuan originally thought that Jiaodu would dare to assassinate Zhujian, and his strength would at least reach the level of the patriarch, but after some testing just now, he found that Jiaodu was at most an elite forbearance, and he hadn't even mastered the resentment.

This little ability dares to assassinate the pillars, I really don't know if he is stupid or not afraid of death.

"Since I know it's wrong, I'll spare you for the time being, get out, don't let me see you next time, and don't lie in my name." Circumvent the expulsion.

"Okay, junior, get out."

As if he had been pardoned, Jiaodu hurriedly got up and limped into the dense forest.

Zhou Xuan looked at his back meaningfully, the reason why he let go of the horn capital was not because he was soft-hearted, but because he put a long line to catch a big fish.

Now the horns are not mastered, and they are useless to him, and the little piglets will be fattened and killed.

"According to the development of the plot of the original book, after the failure of Kakuto's mission to assassinate the pillars, Takikuin Village was worried that his deeds would be exposed, and he was imprisoned and executed, and Kakudu embarked on the road of blackening since then, taking away the forbidden land resentment that Takikuin Village regarded as a treasure, and defected to exile......"

Zhou Xuan thought about it silently and decided to give Jiaodu another year or two to develop.

Due to the nature of resentment, Zhou Xuan actually has a certain degree of resistance in his heart.

Moreover, he is only twenty-four years old this year, and death is still far away from him, so maybe he can study other methods of immortality in the future.

……

……

Now that the weather has entered autumn, the noon sun is not scorching, but it gives people a warm feeling.

"Roar!"

In a forest a few miles away from Konoha, a tiger roar suddenly sounded.

An unkempt girl was half-sitting on the ground, her dirty face full of fear, and she looked desperately at the tiger slowly approaching her in front of her.

"Don't, don't ......"

She shook her head and begged, hoping that the other party would let her go.

But the tiger opened its bloody jaw, and was about to bite her—

"HRE Celestial Sign."

An emotionless voice rang out.

The tiger flew in response, as if it had been hit by an invisible sledgehammer, and flew backwards more than ten meters with a wailing.

"Are you alright?"

The girl turned her head and saw a red-haired boy walking towards him, the sun shining a hazy gold rim along his handsome silhouette, like a god descending on the mortal world.

"Thank you for saving your life!" The girl hurriedly thanked him and kowtowed to him three times in a row.

The red-haired boy was naturally around, and after letting go of the horn capital, he returned to Konoha, but he encountered a tiger on the way and injured people, so he rescued the girl.

Looking at the other party's pitiful appearance at this time, he was vaguely unbearable in his heart.

Although the troubled times are over, not everyone is living a good life.

"Are you here to run to Konoha?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Uh-huh, yes!" The girl nodded vigorously.

"You're alone?"

The girl didn't answer this time, just pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes, leaving one mark after another on her dirty face.

She didn't tell Zhou Xuan, and her parents were with her, but they all starved to death on the way to Konoha.

And before she died, they kept saying that she must live well.

"Don't cry."

Zhou Xuan sighed slightly, probably guessing the other party's miserable experience.

"I'll go to Konoha too, so I'll give you a ride along the way."

"Thank you, sir!" The girl was grateful again, her voice was delicate, and Zhou Xuan estimated that she was about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Zhou Xuan didn't say anything more, and walked straight ahead to lead the way, while the girl quickly got up and followed him step by step, while carefully observing the surroundings, for fear that another tiger would suddenly jump out.

Zhou Xuan deliberately slowed down, and after walking for a while, he casually asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Seven, seven seas."

Nanami ......

Zhou Xuan silently recited two sentences in his heart, feeling that the name was unexpectedly a little smooth.

"My name is Vortex Circle." He said.

The girl nodded timidly, glanced at the other party's back, and quietly remembered the name in her heart.

A few miles away, in other words, it would be possible to reach it in a flash, but at this moment, he was followed by a drag oil bottle, and he could only walk slowly at a normal speed.
