Child, if my existence can be of any help to you, then please use it.

However, if possible, please take this candy along with it.

Chapter 282 The Man Without a Village or Owner

The lights were dim, and the surroundings were chilly.

The silent and cold palace was almost devoid of any sign of life.

'Tap tap tap.'

After an unknown amount of time, several footsteps of varying weight suddenly broke the deathly silence of the place, and the auras lingering in the surroundings also became more numerous.

"Lord Futao, the bounty hunters who accepted the commission have arrived."

The footsteps faded away.

The three leaders also knelt respectfully on the cold ground upon arrival, uttering words of respect.

It is worth mentioning that all three of them were wearing a special kind of ninja armor. The armor was grayish-white with irregular dark blue stripes drawn on it.

It looks like a special ninja tool set similar to the armor of samurai from the Land of Iron.

However, the difference is that it does not completely cover the user, but instead replaces the elbows, legs and other areas that require flexible movement with soft leather armor.

This is clearly designed to better suit the use of ninjas, providing amplification and defense while also allowing for the agility characteristic of ninjas.

Through the dim light of the inner hall, one could vaguely see that behind the three Snow Ninja kneeling on the ground were several figures dressed in unrestrained attire and standing in unconventional postures.

Why use the word "unruly" to describe it?

At that time, there were tails resembling those of felines hanging down behind them.

Presumably, these guys are the bounty hunters the former mentioned.

"Hard."

Immediately, concise and powerful words echoed in the vast space.

Looking towards the source of the sound,

There, a burly middle-aged man leaned against the high, cold throne. He had slicked-back hair that reached his nape, a square face, and a rugged appearance that gave off an inexplicable sense of majesty.

However, before the guest hidden in the shadows could speak, Xue Ren, who was kneeling on the ground, couldn't contain her emotions and blurted out:

"Isn't Lord Nutao being a little too cautious?"

"According to our intelligence, the one escorting Feng Hua Xiaoxue is just a kid who hasn't even reached adulthood yet."

"Even if that guy inherited the Uchiha name, a brat is still a brat. Besides, the Uchiha name doesn't count here."

Winter Bear Frozen Rain tilted his round head back and spoke in a deep, muffled voice, while the disdainful glint in his eyes revealed his attitude.

It was aimed at those outside helpers.

"That's right, the so-called Sharingan doesn't seem to be a particularly powerful ability."

"Ten years ago, we also beat that kid with the Sharingan so badly that he ran away. What was his name again?"

"Oh, Kakashi Hatake, right? Hehe."

"Lord Nutao, we are more than enough to deal with those two brats. Don't be fooled by some random wandering ninja."

"On the contrary, they hold us back at crucial moments, and then want to claim their reward afterwards."

A crisp sound followed in response.

The one speaking was Tsurugi Fubuki, the only female among the three snow ninjas, with short, cherry-pink hair.

Moreover, if you look closely, you'll notice that the chakra armor he wears seems to be somewhat different from his companions', appearing simpler and thinner.

It doesn't seem to be intended for melee use.

The snow ninja kneeling in the middle didn't say anything, but her lack of rebuttal was, in a sense, an admission of consent.

Moreover, amidst such sharp and confrontational words, the already somewhat chilly atmosphere suddenly became even more biting.

It wasn't the biting cold.

It's a deep-seated feeling.

"Hehehe,"

But after a brief silence, a sharp and strange laugh tore through the tension of the confrontation.

The strange laughter, filled with distinct mockery and ridicule, suddenly made the three Snow Ninja kneeling on the ground tense up, and a hidden hostility and killing intent gathered around them.

What are you worried about?

Just then, the strange laughter abruptly stopped, replaced by a slightly effeminate rhetorical question.

This rhetorical question caused the expressions on the faces of the three Snow Ninja, including Wolf Fang Avalanche, to darken once more.

"We are without a village, without a master;"

"We are people who take money to solve problems for others;"

"We will not choose to be someone else's lackeys."

"So, you don't need to worry about anything else, hehehe."

As the lights flickered, the scene became clearer, revealing five bounty hunters standing casually in the open space.

They varied in height and build, and their clothing, but all had similar distinctive markings painted on their faces, and each wore a furry tail resembling that of an ape or beast tied around their waist.

"You're courting death?"

Winter Bear Frozen Rain suddenly stood up, his massive body resembling a giant bear from the far north.

How could we tolerate such sarcasm, comparing the three of them to lackeys and henchmen?

As he spoke, a chilling energy surged around him, and his special armor began to glow with an eerie purple light.

During this time, Feng Hua Nu Tao, who was casually placed on the throne, did not open his eyes at all. He even picked up the wine glass that was placed on the armrest of the throne with great interest.

It seems that he tacitly approved of this farcical conflict.

After all, the Land of Snow is too far from that continent and those countries. They don't have a clear concept of things like the strongest bloodline limit, the Sharingan, or bounty hunters who specialize in hunting ninjas.

Moreover, just as his subordinates said, ten years ago, a little guy with Sharingan came here to carry out a mission, but in the end he fled from this land in defeat.

But now I hear that he's actually made a name for himself.

Isn't it ridiculous?

It should be noted that their research on chakra armor has advanced to an unprecedented level in the past decade.

"Hehehe,"

"They really are a bunch of frogs in a well, confined to their own little corner."

However, despite the terrifying power unleashed by the winter bear freezing rain, no one in sight showed any sign of changing color.

The mocking expression on his face grew even more pronounced.

It was as if a group of adults were watching a child wielding ninja tools and brandishing them.

after all,

The land where the five of them lived was nothing like the peaceful and tranquil land of snow, which was as small as a bullet!

If you are not careful,

Even battle-hardened ninjas can die.

With his tolerance level reaching its limit, Dong Xiong Dongyu's thick eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and his hands, hanging at his sides, formed a mudra.

【Ice Release: Ice Prison........】

However, before the burly snow ninja could complete the hand seals, a strange feeling of unease suddenly welled up in his heart.

chest

His chest felt like it was about to explode!

Winter Bear Frozen Rain's gaze suddenly fell, and he saw that the chest protected by the leather armor had strangely bulged up at this moment, and it looked just like a giant spider.

"Ha ha ha ha,"

At that moment, the laughter of the five men grew even louder.

"Hey, I thought I was going to see a good show, but it seems that your weakness saved your life instead."

Accompanying this was the mockery that almost seeped into the very bones of the Snow Ninja.

【Exploding Insect】: A type of insect cultivated through a special secret technique. It can enter the human body and grow by absorbing the host's chakra, ultimately achieving the purpose of explosion.

Of course, the opportunity to absorb chakra is when the host uses ninjutsu.

The bounty hunters said it was a pity because the source of chakra consumed by these Snow Ninjas when using ninjutsu was different from that of other regular ninjas. They provided a small portion of it themselves, and then amplified it through the chakra armor they wore.

Therefore, although the bursting insects absorbed some energy to support their growth by taking advantage of the winter bear's freezing rain and ninjutsu, it was not enough for them to reach the level of reaching their complete form and causing an explosion.

But that doesn't mean these insects are useless.

Through its gradual growth, it will inevitably reach its full potential one day.

If not cured by a skilled medical ninja,

That poor fellow who was taken in will now live with death from now on!

Of course, besides death, there is also excruciating pain.

"what!"

Unlike human roars that exploded in the dark inner hall,

Along with the throbbing of his heartbeat, the spider-like cyst on Dong Xiong Dongyu's chest rose and fell slightly.
