A week later, at night, Konoha is a nondescript house in a residential area.

A mediocre-looking middle-aged ninja pushed open the door and came out, his name is Akasha, 35 years old today, he is a mediocre middle ninja in Konoha and is currently working as a teacher at a ninja school.

As an older leftover man, Chisha, who has always lived alone, has a boring nightlife, and in order to relieve his loneliness, he went to a nearby tavern for a few drinks as usual.

Chisha came to the tavern, he ordered a few bottles of cheap rice wine and some appetizers with the familiar Kanban girl, and sat alone in the corner and poured himself a drink.

After a while, he was already a little drunk, his face was red, his eyes were in a trance, and he began to say something drunk that others could not understand.

Soon after, he was lying on his head and drunk on the table.

Chisha was drunk, and the other drinkers around him were indifferent to it, because there were too many people like Chisha who borrowed alcohol to kill their sorrows here, and they were not conspicuous at all.

He quickly instructed the guys to move Chisha to the empty room at the back of the store to rest, so as to vacate a new place for new customers to come in and consume.

Not long after Akasha was taken away, a new guest entered, a middle-aged samurai who looked very poor

Kanban Niang didn't recognize this middle-aged samurai, obviously not a regular customer, but she didn't lose enthusiasm because the other party looked poor and sour, and still warmly beckoned the other party to come in and sit down, and the location was exactly where Chisha had just sit.

The samurai ordered a few bottles of cheap rice wine, drank them, and left drunkenly at the checkout.

An inconspicuous shinobi came to the tavern to borrow wine to kill his sorrows, and was dragged away after getting drunk, and soon after, a down-and-out samurai came in to take the place of the ordinary middle ninja, and finally left drunk.

Everything seemed so unremarkable that it didn't attract the attention of anyone in the store.

The samurai staggered back to his lodgings, a dilapidated house, and as soon as he entered his cheaply rented room, he lay down on the ground, snoring and snoring.

The hostess of the house put a quilt on the samurai and left the room with a disgusted expression.

As the sound of the hostess's footsteps faded away, the samurai suddenly opened his eyes and continued to snore, throwing something out of the open window with one hand.

The next moment, a long tongue suddenly appeared, wrapped the thing in, and disappeared into thin air.

When the samurai had finished throwing off his things, he closed his eyes again and continued to sleep, snoring and purring.

At this time, a small snake hidden in the corner left silently.

Soon after, a candle glued to a wooden table was lit in an underground space in the forest outside Konoha Village, and the surrounding darkness was immediately banished.

In front of the candle, a man with long eyebrows was looking at a piece of paper, his face showing a deep solemnity.

There wasn't much on the piece of paper, except that there was a transfer student named Uzumaki Kushina at the ninja school today, with red hair.

"The people of the Uzumaki Mito people, in this way, the human pillar power of Konoha has reached the time to replace, or rather, it has been replaced."

Ebizo put the piece of paper in his hand on the candle flame and watched it turn to ashes, groaning.

This piece of information is undoubtedly very valuable.

As a high-level sand ninja, Ebizo understands the meaning of human pillar power very well, and also understands what it means for human pillar power to be replaced.

"Konoha is a good means, the god has completed the replacement of the human pillar power without knowing it, if this is the case, then the defense power of the Thousand Hands Clan is not as big as in the previous information, can you plan it."

Ebizo's index finger tapped slowly on the tabletop, and after a long time, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes.

When the wind blows, the candles in the room are blown out, and everything is dark again.

。。。

Late at night, in the land of the Thousand Hands Clan, the Rope Tree House, in the basement where a large number of scrolls are placed.

Kirito sat cross-legged on a tatami mat here, closed his eyes, and took a posture of meditation and cultivation.

Around him, there were four black incense sticks in each of the four directions, each of which was the thickness of a thumb, and when lit, a cyan smoke came out.

The green smoke from the four black incense sticks was in a very strange state at this time, and it did not spread around, but turned into four cyan streams, in a straight line, and injected into the body of the Kirito in the center.

Green smoke is an unconscious thing and does not move on its own.

Obviously, the reason why it was moving at this time was because Kirito, who was in the center of the four black incense, was inhaling green smoke into his body by an unknown method.

Soul incense, which is the name of the four black incense, is a precious item recorded in the Spiritualization Technique to assist in the cultivation of the Spiritualization Technique, which originates from the distant land of ghosts, and is said to be made by witches to feed ghosts.

Kirito didn't know how valuable the soul incense was, but the black incense he was using now was made by the shrine maiden Maitreya herself, and it belonged to the highest quality premium soul incense.

Who is Maitreya, the guardian shrine maiden of the country of Oni today, and is a powerful shrine maiden with the ability to suppress monsters, and her identity is equivalent to that of the daimyo of various countries.

Kirito was able to get such a high-quality soul incense, all thanks to the help of the Thousand Hands clan, and also thanks to the help of this special soul incense, his spiritual cultivation was very smooth, which can be described as a thousand miles in a day.

He had been practicing the art of spiritualization for three weeks, and during this time, his soul had become more and more powerful, and the time for his soul to go out of his body had increased from a few minutes at the beginning to an hour before he felt tired, and the range of his soul perception had expanded to one kilometer.

Within a kilometer, no creature could escape his soul perception.

In about two hours, all the soul incense has been burned out, and Kirito's cultivation of today's spiritual transformation technique has come to an end.

Suddenly, a white, transparent Kirito emerges from Kirito's body and makes a stretching motion.

Out-of-body.

Kirito once again came out of his body in a spirit state.

In the next moment, Kirito's spirit body quickly became more and more transparent, so that ordinary people could not see it with the naked eye.

Invisibility, one of the innate abilities of the spirits.

However, Kirito in the spirit state still has chakra in his body, so the eyes of the blood inheritance limit such as the white eye and the writing wheel eye can still see Kirito, but what they see is only a mass of chakra, and they can't see Kirito's true face at all.

Of course, Kirito has a way to deal with the shortcomings of the spirit body, he decisively mobilized the chakra in his body, and laid a large number of sealing techniques on the surface of his spirit body, temporarily letting the spirit wear a layer of sealing enchantment, and temporarily shielding the chakra in the spirit body, so that the outside world could not see it.

The method used by Kirito at this time was to use the sealing enchantment to shield the perception of the outside world.

Konoha has a blood limit for white eyes, so naturally some people are worried about the secret leakage and develop a sealing enchantment technique for the white eye pupil technique.

Among the sealing techniques that Mito taught him, there were several sealing enchantments that could block the ability of the white eye.

The sealing enchantment technique he is using now is called the Nightfall Seal, and it is also the sealing enchantment technique that the Root Headquarters is currently using.

After Kirito filled in the loophole in the spirit, he began to control the spirit to fly upwards in the air, ignoring any obstacles, and suddenly came to the sky above the rope tree's house.

"Let's have a pleasant night trip today, too."

Kirito felt the wind blowing at night, looked at the bright moon in the night sky, and smiled.
