"Thank you, I will certainly keep my promise."

"If your family encounters trouble, you can ask the Hidden Demon Village for help."

Having obtained the summoning materials, Arabe grew large purple chakra wings; he had no reason to stay here any longer.

"If possible, I hope you will never set foot in this place again."

However, the traveler was not appreciative and responded coldly.

Ultimately, this means that he has lost, and handing over the forbidden technique passed down in his family to others is an even greater disgrace!

Even the Third Hokage of Konoha was not able to force or threaten him into making such a humiliating decision.

"is it?"

"However, along the way, I heard that there is a guy named Bai Lang who is calculating your death date and also wants to obtain this secret technique."

"At that time, whether you ask for help or not is up to you."

Huang looked at the old man in his field of vision and said.

Even if the other party doesn't ask for help at that time, today's message can be considered as repaying some of the debt owed for the forbidden technique.

"and many more!"

However, just as Huang Zhenchi was about to head to his next destination...

Suddenly, a hurried call rang out from the ground.

"Hmm? What?"

"You've changed your mind?"

The voice undoubtedly came from the Traveler, and at that moment his expression underwent a noticeable change.

It's no longer about being calm or resentful, but rather about being in a state of intuitive entanglement.

However, in the end, he made a decision and looked directly at the person who had come into view, saying:

"Regarding commitments,"

"I don't need you to protect the entire Earth Spider clan."

"All I want is for you to take her away and swear to protect her for the rest of your life!"

Leave

I still don't feel well and lack energy, so I'll take another day off.

While gathering material, I aim to finish the story within two or three months.

Chapter 588 A Plea to Accept Ying as a Disciple

The transformation of the warrior can truly be described as a complete 180-degree reversal.

Not only did his old servant, Dunbei, fail to understand this procedure, but even his beloved granddaughter became bewildered and confused by such a request.

[I've heard that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan possesses the power to bewitch people. Was my grandfather bewitched by such an evil force?]

She speculated in this way, and gradually began to believe it.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"He's just a rogue ninja. If you're worried, I'll go and bring you the heads of that guy and his accomplices on my way, and get rid of this threat for you."

However, the words that followed quickly shattered Ying's sudden surge of conviction.

Because from the way the other person spoke and their tone, there was absolutely no indication or reason for them to have persuaded their grandfather to make such a decision.

"Owner."

At this moment, Dunbei also called out softly, but he only managed to utter a sound and ultimately said nothing.

He clearly recognized his own identity and knew that he had no right to interfere with the former's decision. However, the anxiety hidden in his voice was undoubtedly a desire for his master to seriously consider the matter.

How far is Demon Hidden Village from Mount Gecheng?

"How long will it take your people to get here after receiving the distress call?"

"The Fourth Raikage has also shown covetousness for our clan's secret techniques. If he were to arrive next time, are you confident you could get here before he succeeds?"

Undisturbed by the sounds that reached his ears, the traveler calmly posed several questions to the visitor before him.

As for the entire Earth Spider clan living deep in the mountains behind them, some clues can actually be found in their choice to move from the village to this forward fortress.

There are certain conflicts between my lineage and the other members of the clan.

To put it bluntly, those members of the Earth Spider clan who had not mastered the clan's secret techniques did not want to live with the three masters and servants who possessed the clan's secret techniques, in order to obtain a more stable life.

Therefore, after his death, only his granddaughter, Hotaru, will be in danger.

Through this incident, Yi Zhixingzhe has clearly realized that simply waiting for others to rescue one's loved ones is unrealistic.

Therefore, instead of exchanging a promise from the other party and anxiously waiting for rescue amidst potential dangers, it's better to address the problem at its root.

Place Ying within a more powerful force, providing her with further protection.

Of course, this also has a very serious drawback, namely, the perpetual belonging and control of one's own lineage.

However, such a drawback only flashed through the minds of those currently on duty.

After all, the Tsuchigumo clan is no longer the powerful clan it once was. Apart from their own lineage, the rest of the clan members are no different from ordinary people, and most of them have long since given up on learning ninjutsu.

Rather than letting my granddaughter fade into an ordinary life, I'd rather take this opportunity to let the family name continue in another way!

"besides,"

"I hope you can become Hotaru's teacher, teach her ninjutsu, and ultimately help her complete her training in the clan's secret techniques!"

The traveler was very clear-headed, knowing that simply relying on the strength of others was not enough to gain a sense of security forever, and that only by becoming strong could he truly protect himself.

The future of the Hidden Demon Village is uncertain, and one day Hotaru will yearn for power.

After saying that, he looked at the young man in front of him with a serious expression.

At his advanced age, once he makes a decision, he will undoubtedly see it through to the end without any backing down.

“I understand. If Lord Enno-kōzō is willing to let Hotaru leave her home, then I welcome her on behalf of Yōgaku-gū.

In response to the questions raised by the former, Huang's answer was naturally no; he couldn't do it.

Even with the Flying Thunder God Technique, he wasn't confident he could arrive before a powerful figure like the Fourth Raikage descended upon Mount Katsuragi and caused destruction.

"However, it would be more convenient for Your Excellency to teach me the secret arts of the nobility. I have no intention of learning any of the nobility's secret arts."

Huang continued.

At the same time, a surge of life force, like a spring, welled up from beneath the earth, and this invisible warmth quickly enveloped the Traveler, nourishing his nearly hollow and withered body.

As this life force descended into his body, the latter's aged eyes widened suddenly, and an involuntary, pleasant groan escaped his lips.

For a moment, he felt as if he had become several years younger; the time that had already passed and he could see the end of his life was forcibly extended by a considerable amount of time!

This is simply...

miracle!!

The warrior, having broken free from the vibrant life force, stared in disbelief at the intruders in his field of vision. At that moment, he was at a loss as to whether he should be hostile to the intruder for trampling on his homeland and bringing indelible shame to the Tsuchigumo clan, or grateful and praise the intruder for allowing him to linger in this world a little longer.

"Since you don't need our protection for the entire Tsuchigumo clan, then this is an equivalent return."

Seeing the white-haired old man speechless for a moment, Huang took the initiative to speak.

"Yes, thank you."

At this point, the traveler was jolted awake from his reverie. Looking at the young man in his field of vision, his voice suddenly softened.

Of course, this is not a promise, but a sign of reverence!

A strange voice echoed in his heart, confirming that his decision to entrust Hotaru to her in his later years was the right one!

At the same time, there is another belief that I am certain of.

That is to allow his precious granddaughter to follow this powerful man of similar age.

Promises are ultimately too fragile; only by establishing certain bonds can true long-term stability be achieved.

This is especially true for the Uchiha clan, who value relationships!

Don't accuse me of taking advantage of you, young clan leader.

You delivered yourself to my doorstep.

"Okay, Hotaru."

"Aren't you always pestering me to learn ninjutsu?"

"The one standing before you now is a ninja far more powerful than I am."

"Opportunity knocks but once."

The traveler urged them on.

He swallowed his pride to create a better future for his beloved granddaughter.

Upon hearing this, Ying still had many doubts in her heart and did not quite understand the change in the identity of the intruder in her field of vision. However, she knew clearly that if this was her grandfather's intention, then she should just follow it.

Because Grandpa would never harm himself.

"I humbly request that Lord Huang accept me as his disciple."

"I am willing to follow you forever and never betray you."

After a brief moment of hesitation, the girl suddenly knelt on the ground, her clear voice conveying a plea.

Upon hearing Ying's request, Huang naturally did not immediately agree. Instead, he looked at the white-haired old man behind him and pondered whether his approach was too benevolent, which was why he had fallen into the current situation.

However, in response to such gazes, the Traveler bowed his head respectfully, as if making the same plea.

This is the story of a legendary old man with devastating power who bowed his head in order to ensure his granddaughter would have a future free from bullying.

"Okay, I promise you."

"However, how much you can learn in ninjutsu depends on yourself."
