Chino glanced once more at the mist that had already swallowed the street, then immediately looked away and led the Blood Dragon, which was now biting the delirious White Zetsu, back towards the Daimyo's residence.

Let's begin.

This is a hunt!!

The lightning power that Ringo Ameyuri unleashed just now was not only to carve out the intruder hidden in the rocks and soil, but also represented two signals.

This signal is meant to guide the rat to come, and to control and erase its memory immediately.

As for the second signal, it was a purge order issued to the comrades guarding the four corners of the city!

East District

In front of the coastline.

The small figure easily climbed onto a lifeless, rock-like humanoid creature, with two strangely shaped ninja swords stuck vertically beside it.

"Ranmaru, is that you back?"

The hoarse voice was not very clear amidst the crashing waves.

"Yes, it is I, Lord Raiga. Please allow me to be your eyes once again."

A weak but firm statement followed, and dozens of Earth Escapers bowed and retreated to one side.

"Okay, that's about right, let's begin!"

"This funeral is for those nameless 'rats'!"

"I still remember it was a terrible night, all because of the infiltration of the rats, which separated me from my most important partner for a whole hour!"

"There's no need to prepare a tombstone, coffin, or paper money."

"Turn them all to ashes!!"

As he muttered to himself, the eerie man sitting cross-legged in front of the coastline drew the ninja sword that was stuck vertically at his side. Brilliant blue arcs of electricity and dense fog began to sweep outwards in that instant!

South District

A continuous area of ​​accommodations including hot spring inns.

"Is it finally starting?"

As the cold whisper rang out, a man carrying a huge ninja sword was also strangely revealed in the light and shadow.

But clearly, the place where it had been standing was an intersecting area of ​​airspace, and there was no one there at all!

"Well then, let me enjoy it a little."

"This killing has been too long in the past! Heh heh."

His calloused hands pressed against the hilt of the giant blade.

The surging fog swallowed the spot where the man stood.

West End.

Daming Prefecture and the area where the powerful and wealthy merchants once lived.

However, thanks to the fact that some people no longer exist in this world, the vacant mansions were gradually converted into school buildings.

Ninja school building.

Students attending classes here do not need to pay tuition fees, nor do they need to provide their own ninja tools; all they need to do upon enrollment is take an oath.

I swear I will never betray my allegiance, never betray my comrades, and never betray that lord!

These three are mandatory requirements.

Of course, such an oath did not impose any contract, nor did it contain any curse similar to that from the Ugly Woman.

Some are merely self-disciplined.

And an executor force built from the elite of the former Fog Shadow Dark Division.

If a traitor appears, heaven and earth will make them pay dearly!

now,

At the main gate of the academy, a slender figure quietly appeared and gently pressed the white mask on his face. A tangible mist spread from where he stood.

He was silent and speechless, yet he exuded a strange, chilling aura.

Just as his figure was slowly swallowed by the mist, an urgent call quietly reached his ears.

"teacher."

"Teacher Bai."

The sudden, childish voice must have been familiar to that aloof figure; otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped there, or even slightly turned his body.

Following the sound, a petite figure stood anxiously at the school building entrance.

Her breathing was steady, and her face showed both youthful innocence and worry.

Bai did not answer the call, but the atmosphere around him became a little tense, as if he was angry that the other party had not obediently stayed quietly in the school building.

"I hope the teacher will come back safely."

However, the girl failed to appreciate the atmosphere and continued to express her worries.

After all, the turmoil that erupted tonight, the eerie atmosphere permeating the entire city, and the teacher's solemn tone just now were enough to make these precocious little ones, who already lived in a life of hardship, guess what was going on.

However, before she could get an answer to her question, the girl realized she had said something wrong and quickly reorganized her thoughts.

"Wishing you, teacher, great success in your military endeavors."

She tried to suppress her unease, calm her disordered breathing, and then spoke softly.

"Go back, there's nothing to worry about."

"Teacher, I am very strong."

Finally, the white-clad youth, who had turned slightly to the side, responded with a bold statement that was far beyond his usual humility.

It seems that the reason for doing this is to reassure those who care about them.

"Um,"

"I know!"

From the day we first met.

【I knew it. 】

Xiao Mo repeated it to herself in her mind.

And watched as the person gradually disappeared into the mist.

Behind him, several little ones of similar age had appeared.

[Zabuza-san, I think I've found a reason to continue existing.]

That is to protect these innocent children.

Thank you for your kindness, Lord Ara!

Well,

The commercial district once run by Cloud Puppet Kahn.

A tall, straight figure stood quietly on the street, carrying two special swords on his back.

He seemed to be deep in thought, his furrowed brows suggesting a troubled mind.

It has fallen.

[His ambition to become the foremost ninja swordsman backfired spectacularly, leaving him far behind!]

[Kaguya Kimimaro is growing stronger and stronger; the power of the forbidden technique passed down by Lord Ara is increasing exponentially!]

[As Haku grows stronger and his will to protect others awakens, he is no longer the tool he once was, dependent on Zabuza Momochi's will to survive!]

[Ringo Ameyuri is growing stronger and stronger. She relentlessly pursues that one, never letting her guard down for a single day. The world-destroying power she just unleashed is a testament to her strength!]

Even Ranmaru has become someone everyone needs.

Only I, and only I, am still standing still!!

Where did things go wrong? I'm the one hailed as the prodigy of ninja swordsmanship!

Hozuki's Full Moon remains a mystery.

He trained, fought, and honed his skills day after day without missing a single one, yet he made the least progress!

This situation made him very anxious.

After a long silence, he slowly raised his head when a shrill scream came from afar.

Since there's no answer, we'll create one ourselves.

Hey, you'll give me an answer, right?

He looked at the twin swords in his hands.

The feeling of unwillingness gradually solidified in his mind.

If you can't find a direction, then just do it.

After all, this is the Hiramekarei, a ninja sword that grew stronger through being immersed in killing!

As my thoughts settled,

The thick fog had completely swallowed it up.

This is,

[Secret Technique: Mist Concealment Technique!!]

[Sasa, learn this well, you rat from Konoha! This is the true art of assassination!!]

Chapter 381 They are the most important companions in my short life!

"warrior?"

"Is it those humans who wear rattan armor, have a shaved head, and are used to swordsmanship?"
