I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

How could Hozuki Mangetsu, who was already proud, accept such a sound?

The water transformation technique was suddenly dispelled, and the Hiramekarei ninja sword, possessing infinite possibilities and power, suddenly clashed together, with a frenzied and violent energy surging within.

This is his strongest technique!

But at that moment, Kaguya Kimimaro suddenly lowered the bone blade in her hand and looked towards the North District.

"That's it."

"Come challenge me when you've become strong enough."

After saying that, he left the training area without even glancing at his companion, whose expression was gradually becoming more and more ferocious.

Until it completely disappeared into the darkness, until there was no one else around, Kaguya Kimimaro covered her mouth and nose and coughed uncontrollably, with bright red blood slowly seeping from her fingertips.

Forcibly opening all five gates ultimately placed a great strain on his body.

"Grow faster, grow faster, Hozuki Mangetsu."

"You possess unparalleled talent and are capable of leading the Ninja Swordsmen to accompany that person even further."

He murmured to himself.

A moment later, after wiping the corner of her mouth, Kaguya Kimimaro straightened up as if nothing had happened and softly spoke to the surrounding void:

"Please, don't tell Lord Ara."

"Qing, Yan".

Chapter 397 [Right Pupil - Cicada Ice!]

"shortage!"

A clear, crisp call echoed through the night.

But after that initial call, the world fell silent again.

Even though the girl's eyes were brimming with emotion, and her thin, still-warm lips parted slightly several times, she ultimately fell silent.

Even Ringo Amery, who is usually fearless and carefree, remained silent at this moment.

Because in these few short days, if you were to ask who in the faction was under the most pressure, it would undoubtedly be Chino, who was acting as the manager.

"Thanks for your hard work."

The final silence was broken by the desolation.

Actually, he really wanted to say something, but in the end it all came down to this very simple whisper.

All other words become unimportant in this context.

“Anthrax,”

Not at all.

The girl gently shook her cheeks, and her small body, which had been tense all day, slowly relaxed at this moment.

Although the threats from Konoha and Kumogakure have not yet been eliminated,

However, when that person appeared in our field of vision, everything seemed less urgent.

Because her faith lies here!!

"Hey, when are we going to make our move, Lord Ara?"

Holding the dazzling thunder sword, Ringo Ameyuri revealed a row of cute yet sharp little shark teeth, her eyes gleaming with an irrepressible eagerness.

She's not one to passively take hits.

Moreover, he was well aware that the person in front of him had returned at this sensitive time, and that it was definitely not just a simple visit.

At the same time, several obscure and powerful chakra energy entities appeared on the city wall.

The chilling atmosphere created in that instant made the entire night feel desolate.

Most of them were absolute powerhouses from the blood mist.

They were all waiting for an order.

Especially Hozuki Full Moon,

He was the last to arrive, still holding the battle blades he had unleashed during their earlier sparring session, his unusual, even somewhat eerie, white pupils radiating a desire for battle.

【fighting,】

【fighting.】

【fighting!】

Only through battle, only through endless battle, can he become stronger and allow his twin swords to unleash their full potential!

"Take me there to see them."

Huang responded slowly, his voice carrying a hint of heaviness.

This response immediately dampened the intense, vengeful emotions that had been building within Ringo Ameyuri.

She could sense that the "they" he spoke of, the heaviness in his voice, wasn't referring to the invaders lurking around the border, but rather...

His comrades who died in the attack.

"Yes."

"Then please follow me, Lord Ara."

Chino answered on his behalf, a hint of sadness appearing on her face.

Just as he took a step and was about to walk toward the place where the remains of his fallen companions were temporarily placed, he suddenly stopped as if struck by an inexplicable electric current. When he turned his face abruptly, his pure, pale purple eyes trembled with confusion and panic.

And it wasn't just her,

Ringo Yuri, Haku, Ranmaru... Apart from Kaguya Kimimaro, everyone present stared blankly at the boy in their field of vision for a moment, with too many complex emotions surging within them.

What happened? What's going on?

Is this liberation? Or has that person become disillusioned, abandoned, and discarded?

Because the binding contracts imposed on them were completely lifted at this moment!

As for Kaguya Kimimaro

After being possessed by the Inner Sparrow, his relationship with Huang transcended the ordinary subordinate relationship, and naturally, another contractual bond existed between them.

After several breaths,

Chino forcibly suppressed her confusion and bewilderment, and very slowly gathered her gaze and emotions. Even though she really had too many questions to ask, she still chose to prioritize carrying out the task from the other party.

"Lord Huang, aren't you going to explain yourself clearly?"

"Does this mean you think I'm too weak, that I haven't protected this city well, and that you no longer need my strength?"

However, the fact that Chino was able to suppress her emotions for the time being does not mean that everyone can do it.

Holding the Thunder God Sword, Ringo Ameyuri spoke excitedly, especially as she finished speaking, her emotions became more and more intense, and the 'gift' she was holding tightly in her hand was also jumping restlessly.

Upon hearing this question, the girl at the front quietly stopped moving forward, though she still didn't say anything.

However, this question was also what she was thinking and what she desperately wanted to know.

Abandoned

Exiled

This is something I absolutely do not want to face.

After all, the former "Lightning Brigade" was betrayed by Kirigakure, who had been employing them all along.

Even Haku, who had always remained silent, steadfast, and devoted to Zabuza's will, spoke softly at this moment:

"Does Lord Ara no longer need to continue operating the newly established ninja academy within the city?"

To be honest, he didn't know why he said those words, nor did he know what his feelings were when he said them.

Disappointment

Unwilling,

Reluctant?

Too many emotions intertwined and converged in Bai's chest at that moment.

He finally began to gradually move away from his past of blindly relying on Zabuza and find his own will.

"No."

"You guys are very strong, really very strong."

Arara, who had stopped in his tracks, met Ringo Ameyuri's intense gaze and spoke with conviction, word by word.

The eerie White Zetsu clones, the powerful and well-trained Root elites, the oppressive army of the Land of Iron, and the valiant and skilled Cloud Village, which is backed by the Land of Lightning.

Faced with such encirclement from all sides and the covetousness of other smaller forces around them, they were still able to deliver a head-on blow to the invaders and continue to hold their ground with unwavering composure. They are truly powerful in every sense of the word!

“But it’s dangerous to continue following me.”

Huang slowly revealed his true feelings.

He really thought a lot on the way here.

The methods and determination of the major powers truly exceeded his imagination.

Two forces that were clearly irreconcilable, one a hegemon that had established permanent neutrality, and the other a mercenary organization with hidden dangers and terrifying secrets, suddenly joined forces.

Faced with such encirclement and such a threat, Huang had no reason to continue having his followers continue to follow him.

Because their existence is different from that of Hanzo the Salamander, Granny Cat, or even Kaguya Kimimaro, there is no substantial cooperation, agreement, or contract between them.

The initial reason for hunting was simply to gain power at the most crucial moment.

Even though she once bestowed the grace of rescuing the [Thunderbolt Group] and the kindness of healing Ringo Ameyuri... all of these have been repaid in the present days.

Konoha is strong, Kumogakure is strong, and Akatsuki is strong.

Huang had no reason to let these people, who owed him nothing, follow him in seeking revenge, or even risk his life.

Looking down from the city tower, the damaged areas and the ruins stained with blood, this once quiet and desolate hot spring kingdom, devoid of its former charm, was all caused by him.
