Chapter 445 Hunting

"Where did these stinky brats come from?"

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

From the sound of running footsteps, it can be heard that the man is running very fast.

He gritted his teeth bitterly, but at the same time couldn't help but look back.

Deep in the forest was darkness, and in the darkness it seemed that there was a ferocious beast with its jaws wide open, chasing after him and biting it tightly.

The man gulped his saliva, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, then he shook his head and ran even faster.

Along the way, the man kept searching for large plants that could cover him, hoping to use the natural complex environment in the forest to hide his figure.

Soon, he found a hiding place, hid behind a tree, stopped running away, and began to pant behind the tree, his face pale.

The peripheral vision from the corner of his eye began to shift towards the side and rear. He didn't see the pursuer, so he was slightly relieved, feeling that he was in a safe environment for the time being.

"Damn, this is not the way to go, one of them seems to have a blind eye... It is a waste of time to set up a trap to delay the pace."

The man kept activating his brain and began to think about how to 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 the power of his eyes.

Nowadays, 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.

The other Hyuga clan with supercilious eyes belonged to the newly-promoted kingdom of Oni. Although it is not recognized as orthodox in the ninja world, it is also a powerful force that can rank among the top in the Oni.

Its leader, Hyuga Ayane, is a powerful ninja comparable to the Five Kages. In this regard, even Konoha's Hyuga orthodoxy should be ashamed.

"Hyuga from the country of demons..."

The man panted lowly, behind the trees, trying to suppress his sense of existence.

While taking out the Bingliang Pill from the ninja bag, stuff it into his mouth and take it.

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

But the crisis is not over yet.

He knew that once Bai Yan locked his position, it would be difficult to get rid of Bai Yan's pursuit.

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

However, there are also disadvantages, that is, Baiyan's search range is not very far. Although the accuracy is more accurate than perception ninjutsu, Baiyan's detection ability without blind spots has a much narrower range than perception ninjutsu.

If you want to get rid of Bai Yan's pursuit, you can only make good use of Bai Yan's weakness, which is not considered a weakness.

As for why the kingdom of ghosts sent ninjas to chase and kill him, the man was at a loss.

It stands to reason that Oniguoguo and bounty hunters like him who have long since defected from Ninja Village basically do not offend each other.

The big man behind the underground black market, when he fought with the Kingdom of Ghosts in the past, he never had the idea of provoking the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Once a member of Hidden Sand, he knows how powerful and terrifying the military power of Hidden Sand Village is.

Being able to defeat the ghost country of Sand Hidden from the front, its military power has already surpassed the country of wind.

Only fools and idiots, or those who are truly not afraid of death, would be bold enough to confront a big country.

Facts have proved that the underground black market has shrunk severely. Even the big shots behind him have no choice but to withdraw the black market forces in the west of the mainland to minimize conflicts with the ghost country and avoid greater losses.

"Could it be that I offended people from the Kingdom of Ghosts in a reward mission in the past?"

The man continued to speculate on the question.

If this problem is not resolved, even if you can get rid of the ninjas behind you this time, the Kingdom of Ghosts may send more powerful ninjas to hunt you down next time.

However, as a man who has roamed the underground black market for more than ten years and has not yet been arrested by the Anbu of Sand Hidden, he has always lived according to the principle of being cautious and not causing trouble.

Once the reward task is beyond his ability, or if he wants to make enemies with some terrible forces, he will not accept it.

From this point of view, the Kingdom of Ghosts has no reason to keep an eye on him.

"The other party stopped."

A twelve or thirteen-year-old boy with long black hair, with protruding veins around his eyes, and his pure white pupils do not contain any impurities. After penetrating through layers of obstacles, he found the target's hiding place accurately.

"Chakra is very disordered, and the nerves seem to be tense."

Besides, a girl with long red hair, about twelve or thirteen years old, adjusted the red-rimmed glasses on her face. After releasing her sensory ninja, she sensed the target's current Chakra status. It can even detect that the target's nervous system is in a tense state based on the fluctuation of the target's chakra.

"The opponent's physical strength should be almost exhausted after chasing to this extent. Cai, report his direction, distance, and how many obstacles there are."

The boy wearing the monocle was older than the man and woman next to him. He took out a kunai from his ninja bag and played with it casually in his hand. Around his body, traces of electricity permeated from the atmosphere.

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

"Well... at 11 o'clock ahead, at a distance of 120 meters, if you attack from Brother Asuka, there will be four trees blocking the way as obstacles."

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

"Four trees, 120 meters... In this case, Chakra cannot be saved, and it is barely within my attack range."

Asuka murmured the information reported by Cai, and suddenly dense electric light gathered in the palm of his hand, and the air around him was also filled with densely packed tiny electric snakes, making a sound like electric leakage.

"Go."

Asuka threw the kunai out of his hand vigorously, the dazzling lightning flashed away from the kunai, and the kunai flying forward quickly lost its trace in the blink of an eye.

I only saw a big tree not far away, and a bowl-sized hole was cut from the center, and the opposite scenery could be clearly seen through this hole.

Boom!

The sound of an explosion on the ground.

Amidst the violent explosion, human cries of pain were also heard.

"superior!"

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

The man hiding behind the tree rolled on the ground in embarrassment, the left side of his body was dripping with blood, and there was a piece of flesh on his shoulder that seemed to be gouged out, **** and bloody.

The paralysis of the electric current made the man move extremely slowly, and his left arm was completely disabled and could not be used.

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

Can't stop here! The man thought in his heart.

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

Staying here is a dead end.

Kunai watched in horror as a crater exploded on the ground, and was inserted obliquely into the small explosion crater intact.

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

However, just as his front foot left the ground, a flash of light flashed across his side.

The sharp breath cut the skin of his face.

Boom!

A large rock in front of it was blown to pieces.

Inserted there is still a standard kunai that is completely dark and reflects light.

Although the appearance is the same as ordinary kunai, but after such a terrible energy burst out and shattered the rock, there is still no defect, so we know that this is not a kunai of ordinary material.

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

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

"Bagua Empty Palm!"

The air flow was quickly compressed in the palm, and then fired out like a cannonball, hitting the man's body directly.

The man kicked the ground and dodged, barely avoiding the attack of the air cannonball.

The flexible body response ability is reflected from him.

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

That's too late! The man had just settled down, seeing Cai who was already close at hand, he had no choice but to raise his still intact right arm and start to block.

Pfft!

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

Cai's **** looked like a sharp knife, piercing directly into the man's arm.

Soft boxing method Acupuncture point!

The sharp chakra airflow is emitted from the fingertips.

Click!

You can clearly hear the sound of bones being cut from the middle.

"ah!"

The man screamed in pain, his right arm seemed to have lost consciousness, and he couldn't move at all. Like his left arm, he couldn't make a mudra.

Pitch-black lightning flashed from behind Cai.

Chicked, Kunai sank into the man's throat, and a drop of blood didn't splash out, as if the wound that could spurt blood was blocked by Kunai.

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

Cai's fingers were also successfully pulled out from the man's arm. The **** were not stained with any blood. There was a layer of chakra film outside to protect the fingers and keep the blood out of the chakra film.

"Tsk, it's true that you two brothers fight with such terrifying moves every time."

Seeing the tragic death of the man, with a little fear remaining on his face, Xianglin with long red hair rushed to the scene, tsk-tsk loudly.

After seeing this corpse, my stomach felt a little queasy.

Although she did not kill the person, she herself is also an 'accomplice'.

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

For Cai, an enemy who can be defeated must be defeated quickly, without giving the opponent the slightest chance to respite and come back.

Asuka took back the kunai scattered around at this time.

Different from ordinary kunai, the kunai he uses is his own special kunai, which can better cooperate with his thunder escape ninjutsu and attack enemies from a distance.

"Okay, the mission target has been cleared, go to the assembly point first, and meet with Teacher Yan. I leave the corpse to you, Xianglin."

Asuka, as the captain, began to issue orders.

"I see, Senior Asuka... Uh, no, it should be Captain Asuka now."

Xiang Rin got the order, took out a scroll, endured the nausea, and sealed the male ninja's body in the scroll.

After packing up the scene, the three left quickly.

"Thank you for your hard work, how is it, how does it feel to see blood for the first time? Is there any burden?"

In a hotel room, the Asuka trio met their guide Uchiha Yan.

The other party is the powerful ninja of the Uchiha clan in the kingdom of ghosts, and also a trusted subordinate of Asuka's mother Uchiha Ruri.

His strength can occupy a place even in the army of the ghost country, which is full of experts.

Now it's June. The Genin who will take the Zhongnin Exam in Oni Nation this year ended his two-month internship career in the police force. Under the leadership of their respective mentors, they handed over to the underground black market platform and temporarily became bounty hunters. They participated in various actual combat and accumulated experience.

The Renegade who hunted the Sand Hidden Village this time was the first mission of the Asuka Squad in actual combat training.

After the three came back, Uchiha asked them how they felt after completing the task, because they didn't want the three Asuka to have psychological problems because of killing people.

"It doesn't feel like it. After all, the psychological preparation for killing is already arranged by the school before graduation."

Asuka expresses her feelings.

He is the captain of the team, compared to Cai and Xiang Rin, his age is a few years older than the two. Although there was a slight uncomfortable rejection in his body at the moment when he killed someone, this uncomfortable rejection quickly disappeared from his body.

Now his mood has completely calmed down, and he will not be affected by things like killing people, which will cause his state to deteriorate.

Cai's expression was rather indifferent, which seemed to be similar to Asuka's.

For him, there is no difference between hunting large beasts and hunting ninjas.

He has been trained as an elite since he was a child. From the point of view of ninja quality, he is better than his brother Asuka.

He has already prepared the psychological preparation for ninja killing.

"A little nauseous and want to vomit."

Xiang Rin said bitterly, and made a gesture of retching.

Different from the two boys, she was also injured and bled during actual combat exercises, but that situation was completely different from the real killing scene.

As far as seeing blood, the latter is more able to stimulate her sensitive nerves as a woman.

Until now, she still remembered what the corpse looked like when it died, and she couldn't 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. This is a necessary part of a ninja's growth. Only a ninja who sees blood can be a ninja, otherwise it is just a flower in a greenhouse. In contrast, ninjas in your era are already very lucky. Unlike our time, wars often broke out..."

Uchiha spoke with emotion.

But before he finished his complete words, Xiang Rin started rolling his eyes and interrupted:

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

"What are you talking about, I'm only in my early forties this year."

Uchiha Yan glared at Xiang Rin.

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

Moreover, his body is still in its prime, and there is still a long way to go before he enters old age.

"Speaking of which, is the bounty target brought back to us for our own disposal?"

Xiang Rin couldn't help asking.

Thinking of the corpse in the scroll, which is worth one million taels, even if three people share it equally, each person can get a high reward of more than 300,000 taels, which makes Xianglin's heart very hot.

This fiery feeling in the heart caused even the disgusting feeling of killing poor students to dissipate a lot from his heart.

"If you think too much, the target of the bounty will naturally be handed over to the higher-ups. The reward you can get is only one-tenth of the reward."

Uchiha Yan looked at Xiang Rin helplessly.

"Damn capitalist!"

Xiang Ling felt depressed when she thought of how hard she had worked so hard for a long time to get such a little money.

But he did not disobey the order, and honestly handed over the scroll that sealed the corpse to Uchiha Yan.

"Stop complaining. If you have this time, why not 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 will tell you next week. You should digest the results of this mission in the past few days, adjust your mood by the way, and check if you have any shortcomings."

Uchiha said.

Being a ninja must kill people, this is something every ninja has to go through.

Although the ninja school in the country of ghosts has set up so-called psychological counseling courses, it is difficult for Uchiha Yan to judge exactly to what extent it will be effective.

Compared to killing people, Uchihayan hopes that Asuka and the three can understand what is the heaviness of life.

Whether it is your own life or the life of others.

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

Uchihayan saw too many ninjas whose psychology was distorted because of too many killings during Konoha period. These ninjas would even lose control and hurt their teammates later, and thus were monitored and imprisoned by Ninja Village. The ending was extremely bleak.

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

"What, it's completely underestimating us."

After Uchiha Yan left, Xiang Rin began to vent his dissatisfaction.

"No, I think Teacher 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 rubbed it on the kunai carefully. Although it is a special kunai, it needs constant maintenance to prolong its service life.

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

Xiang Rin responded like this.

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

"This is the best way, but I think the next targets may be more powerful one by one. In the end, even if we start a life-and-death struggle with the real Jonin, it is not impossible."

Asuka made this guess.

Using the underground black market platform to sharpen the genocide of this year's recruits, the military paid not only money, but also a lot of human resources to circle such a near-real actual battlefield. After paying such a huge price, as new recruits, they will definitely not have an easy time in this trial. Some of the trials may be accompanied by huge risks that endanger their lives.

"Junin? It doesn't matter. With the abilities of the three of us, even if we deal with a Junin, it's not impossible."

Xianglin frowned slightly, but soon relaxed again.

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

What's more, her sensory ninjutsu and Cai's white eyes are all strategic-level abilities. In terms of tactics formulation, she will definitely be able to get the upper hand in battle.

"There is also a huge gap between a Jnin and a Jnin... Besides, what if we have to deal with not one Jnin, but multiple Jnin?"

Asuka stopped the work of maintaining Kunai, pushed the monocle on his face, and said the worst that might happen.

Sure enough, hearing Asuka's pessimistic guess, Xiang Rin couldn't help but shudder.

With reasonable tactics, with the abilities of the three of them, it is not difficult to deal with a Jnin.

But if you deal with two or more Jonin at the same time, even Xiang Rin will have a dignified and flustered expression on his face.

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

Chunin is a powerful ninja who has accumulated a large number of actual combats, and because of his long-term combat experience, he is better able to take advantage of team battles. It is a ninja village, or a relatively important backbone of the country.

And at the level of Jonin, the number began to decrease sharply.

Every jonin is a valuable elite combat power.

It is very difficult for the lower ninja team to deal with the single-body ninja. Most of the ninja squads, facing a single ninja, will be quickly wiped out by the ninja with the momentum of thunder.

If multiple junin exist at the same time and cooperate with each other... This kind of severe test is definitely not something that the jnin can bear.

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

Among the ninja recruits this year, there are also strong and weak points.

The team she is in is undoubtedly the best among the ninjas in the kingdom of ghosts.

This also means that the test their team faces is much more difficult than the rest of the ninja team. Asuka's guess is not aimless.

"The goal of this mission is that the strength is already quite good among the Chunin. It is only in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the three of us that it will appear weak. If it is a Jnin, even if the three join forces, we must be careful. Maybe next week's mission is to deal with a genuine Jnin. We will use this week to improve the overall and individual abilities of the team."

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

In addition, there is the most powerful business association in the ninja world as economic support behind it, which can make this 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 major countries to check and balance with its own military power.

The kingdom of ghosts emphasizes the integration of military, politics, and economy, but in this very special era when the situation in all countries is unstable, all politics and economy are for the service of military operations.

Even if it is a neutral organization like the underground black market that does not belong to any country, the Kingdom of Ghosts has the ability to interfere from within, using the neutral platform of the underground black market to train recruits to endure.

Therefore, it might be a bit too extravagant to arrange johnin-level bounty targets from the underground black market to supply the recruits of Oni Land for training, but Asuka understands that as long as the military wants to, it is not difficult to do this kind of thing.

Asuka never puts his hopes on luck.

According to this process, it will be a matter of time before they face the ninjlevel battle.

"In the joint Chunin exam in September, among the rest of the ninja villages, there may be quite powerful ninjas eliminated, otherwise the upper level will not suddenly become stricter this year... From this point of view, this year's Chunin exam will be a little more interesting than previous years."

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