In the middle of a wide and flat official road.

The bighorn deer opened its four hooves and dragged the wooden cart, slowly rushing to the direction of Konoha.

On top of a deer cart with a simple shape.

Nara Langui is using the [Flat Shadow Technique] to hide his body in the shadow of the [Shadow Clone].

It was mentioned before. (Chapter 22)

[Flat Shadow Technique] is a "very unNara" Nara secret.

Although the name of the [Shadow Technique] has the word "shadow" in its name, it is not a pure secret art of yin retreat.

The key to the Shadow Technique is to make one's body as thin as a shadow and maintain it.

And the chakra consumed by this step is not a yin chakra, but a regular chakra.

Before yesterday, Nara Langui's regular chakra amount could not sustain the [Flat Shadow Technique] for too long.

It can be obtained after obtaining the A-rank ninja [Chakra Crystal].

This kind of C-level secret technique, Nara Langui can use it for as long as he wants.

While maintaining the [Flat Shadow Technique].

Nara Langui is also silently running the cultivation method of the newly acquired immortal talent from the Fire Temple-[Immortal Guiding Technique].

When Nara returned to Kyoto yesterday, he started studying this important secret technique related to natural energy, and made a lot of progress in his studies.

At this moment, as the breath continues.

Nara Langui only felt that his spiritual consciousness was constantly emptying, and he began to gradually enter a state of deep meditation.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was at a special moment.

Nara Langui's spiritual consciousness broke away from the shackles of the ontology and entered the [shadow clone] that was close at hand.

At the same time, the body hidden in the shadows is still maintaining the operation of the [Flat Shadow Technique] and the [Immortal Channeling Technique].

This is the most ideal cultivation method at the moment! ’

Nara closed his eyes, familiar with the light-hearted ethereal feeling unique to [Shadow Clone].

'Consciousness is placed in the shadow clone, maintaining normal communication activities. ’

The body is lying flat...... Ah no, it's all day long, uninterrupted cultivation of the [Immortal Channeling Technique]. ’

Nara was very happy with this state of affairs.

Physically and mentally, there's always one on the way, right?

At this moment, Haiichi Yamanaka, who was in charge of perception work in front of him, suddenly made a gesture.

Seeing this, the three of Ape Flying Asma, Sunset Red, and Flying Bamboo Dragonfly looked at each other and acted in tacit understanding.

Not long after, with a few screams, the three of them came out of the dense forest on the side of the official road with blood and returned to the main army.

Nara Shikano, who was driving the deer cart, glanced at the three Nakashinobi who were panting slightly, and gently patted the hind buttocks of the bighorn deer.

The bighorn slowed down in understanding, and the speed of his already slow movement suddenly became like a snail.

But this extremely slow speed also gave the three of them enough time to rest.

In comparison, the number of people on the return trip has been reduced considerably. (The Maitkai team is still on a caravan escort mission)

However, the speed of the return journey did not increase, but slowed down further.

There is no other reason.

The task of cleaning up the [Bounty Hunter] has not made much progress!

On the way back.

Yamanaka is constantly using his psychic perception to spy on the bounty hunters who roam the official roads of the Fire Nation.

And after figuring out the location of the target, it was the moment when the Ape Flying Asma team began to act.

It's only been half a day.

The three shinobi didn't know how many bounty hunters they had cleared out who intended to ambush the surrounding caravans, and they had gained a lot.

On the deer cart, Nara's mood was as calm as an ancient well.

Opponents at the middle ninja level and even the lower ninja level can only trigger the battle mission to the C level at most.

Now this level of task is no longer in the eyes of Nara Langui.

Unless it's a special target like the Earthland.

Otherwise, Nara might as well spend more time learning and mastering the advanced ninjutsu he already possesses!

On the way back, limited by the actual conditions, Nara Langui had no way to study [Camouflage Concealment] or [Super Beast Pseudo-Painting].

But it's still okay to rub some "balls" secretly.

On the premise that the specific cultivation method of the "Spiral Pill" is already known.

Nara Langui, who is already good at chakra control, is learning at a very gratifying pace.

On the deer cart, Nara Lan Guihei put his right hand, palms down and up, and the dark shadows immediately converged into a balls the size of ping-pong balls in his palms.

Inside the "balls" composed of dark shadows, one after another Yin Chakra is carrying out a continuous irregular rotational motion.

And that's just the first phase. ’

Nara Langui gently shook it, and the shadow ball was dispersed into invisibility.

But it doesn't take much effort to blend in with [Shadow Piercing]. ’

The virtual panel pops up.

[B-level Surgery: Spiral Shadow Piercing]

[Surgical Effect: Self-developed Technique, Advanced Shadow Secret Technique]

[Surgical Effect: Inject your own Yin Chakra into the shadow, and materialize the shadow into a condensed and solid high-speed rotating projectile, which gathers a little bit like a bullet and shoots out, the initial velocity of the jet can exceed the speed of sound, and the power is strong]

[Surgical evaluation: It's a spiral, I added a spiral]

The name of the technique has changed, and the specific effect has become a little stronger...... But the essence is still B-grade ninjutsu. ’

Nara scans the panel information and closes it.

'I'm afraid that I won't be able to further increase the power of [Shadow Piercing Bullet] until I have completely mastered the ninjutsu of [Spiral Pill], right?" ’

Around noon.

The Konoha Ninja Squad pauses in place to recuperate and prepare lunch.

The deer cart carried Nara Langui and the old patriarch to a shade of a tree.

"It's a nice day."

The Nara deer untied the rope of the bighorn deer and motioned for it to forage for food.

"What I hate most about being on a mission is that when I encounter bad weather, I will use more energy in vain.

"It's okay, I'm retiring soon......"

"Patriarch."

Nara Langui interrupted the old patriarch's words at the right time, and he was almost unable to count how many flags the other party had planted along the way.

"I have a question for you."

"Well, let's talk about it."

Nara Kano is half-lying in the shade of a tree, with a weed in his mouth that has been torn from somewhere.

"I know everything."

"It's about chakra metal."

Nara raised his right hand and showed the patriarch his chakra crystal ring.

"The patriarch has rewarded so many chakra metals before, and I do have a plan to build chakra metal ninja equipment."

An excellent ninja that can transmit chakra is self-evident for the ninja's strength improvement.

Nara asked, "Among Konoha, are there any powerful forging masters?" ”

"It's really a problem, I forgot to explain it before."

Nara Shikano slowly chewed the grass in his mouth and said slowly.

"Our Nara clan, as well as the Yamanaka and Akido clans, are not families that specialize in forbearance.

"If you want to forge forbearance, you can only entrust it to others."

Nara nodded and listened quietly.

"Among Konoha, there are two shops that specialize in ninja equipment."

Nara Shikano held out two fingers.

"First, full point hall. Although the quality of the forbearance equipment produced in their store is not good enough, the lower limit will be guaranteed.

"Second, Thang Long Hall. They are a shop that specializes in the sale of weapons-based ninja equipment.

"If you want to forge blades, I recommend going to the Shenglong Hall and looking for the genius boss of the Shenglong Hall."

Thang Long Hall?

What a mighty name!

Nara Langui asked curiously, "Patriarch, do you mean that he is very good at forging forbearance?" ”

"No ......"

Nara Shikano shook his head.

"The boss of Shenglong Hall, his surname is 'Tian', and his name is 'Cai'."

“……”

Nara's sense of anticipation was shattered in an instant.

But he thought about it.

The surname is Tian, is it one of the twelve powerhouses of Konoha in the future, Tiantian's father?

If you look at it this way, it seems that Thang Long Hall is also a good choice.

But at this time.

Nara Langui recalled the cat wife he had met in the animal taming recuperation class before, and couldn't help but ask again.

"Patriarch, what is the level of forging of forged forbearance in the Cat Village clan?"

"The Cat Village Clan?"

Nara Shikano frowned and straightened his back.

"Lan Gui, where did you hear this name?

"That's a black marketeer!"

Nara briefly recounted his acquaintance with Mrs. Cat.

"It turned out to be just an accident...... It's not an accident. ”

Nara Shikano was relieved.

"The Cat Village family has always served the wealthy, what kind of 'Mrs. Cat' are you talking about, she claims to have broken away from the black market merchant family?"

"That's what Inuzuka Paw squad leader said." Nara nodded.

"Inuzuka, Cat Village......"

Nara Shikano didn't know what to remember, and suddenly shook his head and smiled.

"Don't believe the words of the 'Mrs. Cat' who calls herself a 'decent merchant', there is no black marketeer who is not black-hearted.

"However, if you only discuss the level of forging, the Cat Village clan is indeed much stronger than the Shenglong Hall.

"The Cat Village clan is the exclusive weapon supplier of the Uchiha clan.

"Even the arrogant guys of the Uchiha clan recognize the quality of the ninja equipment provided by the Cat Village clan."

Got it!

Nara nodded earnestly.

When I return to the village this time, I will go to Mrs. Cat to forge forbearance!

After lunch, the Konoha ninjas set off on their journey again.

Two or three hours later.

The deer cart finally moved away from the confines of the Fire Nation Capital and came to a wide area of dense forest.

That's when it happened.

Yamanaka's brow furrowed slightly.

He no longer sent a gesture signal to Sarufei Asma and the others, but directly dodged to Nara's side.

"Lord Shikano!"

Yamanaka's tone was very serious.

"I just sensed a ninja with a very large amount of chakra, in the dense forest ahead, and it seems that he is waiting for ......."

Before Yamanaka finished speaking.

A figure stepped out of the deep forest.

Bounty Hunter, Kakuto!
