Tianzang saw Qingwu stop and asked.

There are several mice.

Qingwu expanded his natural perception, absorbing the natural essence given by the Slug Immortal, and his natural energy reached over 30000.

At that moment, they keenly sensed a faint movement coming from the depths of the woods not far away.

This person, acting suspiciously in the Death Forest, couldn't possibly be an ordinary person.

Upon hearing this, Tianzang immediately became alert, tightly holding Naruto in his arms, and lowered his voice: "Who is it?"

Qingwu gave the order in his mind, and the dozen or so great elves patrolling around the territory were sent over. Then he said, "You all go home first, I'll go take a look."

Before Tianzang could respond, Qingwu's figure shot off like an arrow, silently darting towards the source of the aura under the cover of the trees.

As he walked through rows of bushes bent low by the weight of snow, the sight before him made his eyes turn cold.

Three men dressed in Cloud Shadow attire were walking through the forest, with a thinly clothed little girl tucked under the arm of the man in the middle.

This scene instantly reminded Qingwu of a scene from the original novel.

It's Hinata!!

Without the slightest hesitation, Qingwu gathered a faint natural energy at his fingertips and instantly unleashed the [Magic Arrow], which accurately struck the wrist of the Cloud Ninja who was holding Hinata.

"what!"

The Cloud Ninja cried out in pain as one of his hands, along with Hinata's small body, fell to the snow.

"Who goes there!?"

The other two Cloud Ninja immediately went on alert.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Qingwu flashed and grabbed Hinata in his hand.

The girl's cheeks were blue from the cold, and she was unconscious. She was Hinata from the Hyuga clan.

Qingwu looked up, his eyes sharp as knives: "The people of Kumogakure dare to kidnap children in Konoha territory. They have quite the nerve."

"It's you!" one of the burly Cloud Ninjas exclaimed in surprise.

Qingwu recognized him, and after thinking for a moment, she pronounced his name: "Dun!"

Long ago, this bald-headed Cloud Ninja led two Cloud Ninja squads to his territory to gather intelligence, but was captured. Later, in order to make peace with the Cloud Village, the Third Hokage released him.

During last year's Chunin Exams, Dun, hope, and Darui represented Kumogakure.

At that time, Qingwu was planning to find an opportunity to kill them, but he unfortunately missed the chance because he unexpectedly encountered Orochimaru during the exam.

I never expected to run into them again today.

The Cloud Ninja, with his severed hand, screamed in agony, and then... he was pinned to the ground by an arrow from the arriving Great Elf.

"How dare you..."

Startled, he took a step back, his eyes darting around as if searching for an opportunity to escape.

Qingwu glanced at the dead Yun ninja, then looked at the last one among them.

The man remained calm throughout, neither retreating nor speaking, simply staring silently at the scene.

"I know you."

The purple-haired middle-aged man wearing a cloud-hidden headband spoke:

"Konoha's Jonin, Seigo, once escaped from the clutches of Iwagakure's Jinchuriki. Recently... heh, your name has become widely known in Konoha."

Qingwu frowned slightly: "Who are you?"

To remain so calm knowing his reputation, this person is either a fool or extremely confident in their own abilities.

Qingwu had seen all the top-ranking ninjas in the Cloud Village's records, but this person in front of him was a complete stranger.

The purple-haired middle-aged man didn't answer directly, but instead glanced at the pale-faced bald man beside him, his tone laced with sarcasm:

"Dull, what are you afraid of? He's just a kid. We've already brought him here, how can we let him take him away so easily?"

Bald-headed Dumb had no words to express his suffering. Two years ago, he was no match for Qingwu, so how could he not be afraid now?

Being publicly mocked by the purple-haired middle-aged man, he could only grit his teeth and say in a low voice, "Lord Troy, he... is very strong!"

"Trash." The purple-haired middle-aged man called Troy sneered, his chakra suddenly exploding: "Magnetic Release: Magnetization Technique!"

Qingwu felt the natural energy around him stagnate, as if it were being pulled by an invisible force. Even the roots that were quietly spreading under his feet were slowed down, as if the force field had been disturbed.

Troy has struck again, "Magnetic Release: Square Shuriken!"

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—

Dozens of cards suddenly stopped in mid-air, their trajectories forcibly fixed by the magnetic escape technique, and then shot towards Qingwu in a fan shape.

"Captain, watch out!"

Tianzang's voice came from behind, but he was worried about Qingwu being alone, so he brought Naruto along to catch up.

"Wood Release·Wooden Spindle Wall!"

A thick wooden wall suddenly broke through the snow and stood in front of Qingwu.

The moment the Magnet Release card struck the wooden wall, it miraculously embedded itself firmly into the wood grain due to the force of magnetization.

Then came a hissing vibration, and the entire wooden wall was enveloped by magnetic energy, showing signs of cracking...

Chapter 187 The Unicorn's First Display of Power

Qingwu understood.

The Cloud Villager named Troy before us also possesses a rare bloodline limit.

This guy's Magnet Release is different from Sunagakure's Magnet Release. It doesn't manipulate iron or gold sand, but rather magnetizes the magnetic field around the opponent and then uses the magnetic properties of the square shuriken itself to attack.

Because the ninja tools and the magnetized opponent are attracted to each other, ordinary people cannot escape the attack of this technique.

Having thought all this through, and seeing the square shuriken break through the wooden barrier and about to continue shooting towards him, Qingwu remained calm and unhurried, "Spirit Summoning Technique!"

A pure white unicorn appeared before Naruto's surprised eyes.

Qingwu issued the order to attack.

The unicorn immediately entered battle mode, its body radiating a pure white holy light. Its previously seemingly docile form suddenly increased tenfold in size.

Its massive body covered half of the snow-covered forest, and the spiral horn on its forehead stretched out straight, reaching a length of five meters. Its hooves pounded the snow, causing the accumulated snow to fall in a flurry!

"hold head high--"

The unicorn let out a clear cry, and a pale white halo suddenly rippled around its body.

Qingwu immediately felt a sense of relief, as Troy's magnetic field had been broken.

The Cloud Ninja Troy opposite him suddenly narrowed his eyes, and the hand holding the card trembled violently: "What is this thing?!"

Qingwu grinned.

Unicorns are born with a 20% magic resistance aura.

This buff is very powerful; it applies to all friendly units within the aura's range, including the unicorn itself.

This is the most appropriate word to use at this time.

Tianzang was shocked; this spirit beast actually had such a wonderful use.

Qingwu handed Hinata to him as well, saying, "Protect the two children well."

Tianzang readily agreed, seeing that he no longer needed to intervene.

Hugging Naruto and Hinata tightly, Tenzo couldn't help but glance at the enormous unicorn again. The oppressive feeling was too strong, even stronger than the withered tree guardian.

Qingwu was also very satisfied with the changes that occurred on the unicorn after it entered battle mode. It truly lived up to its reputation as a high-grade product!

The dull creature opposite had been slowly retreating since it first appeared, but suddenly turned and ran.

However, in the holy light, this guy's bald head was really eye-catching.

Qingwu stomped its foot, and its roots, which had been quietly extending, suddenly burst forth from the soil, binding the bald, blunt legs. Then…

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

A barrage of arrows shot out from the shadows of the dense forest, and Bald Blunt also died under the Great Elf's arrows.

"hateful!"

Troy, the only one remaining, did not lose his will to fight. He flipped his wrist, and his magnetic release surged in his palm: "Magnetic Release: Chain Cube!"

The cards attracted and collided with each other in the air, transforming into a swirling storm of iron blades, swirling with wind, snow, and iron filings, pressing down on Qingwu.

Qingwu lightly touched the ground with her toes and darted to the side to avoid the attack.

The battlefield was handed over to the unicorns.

This is a rare opportunity to see how the unicorn performs in battle.

"hold head high--"

Another screech followed; the unicorn's attack method was simple.

Its body had increased tenfold in size, and it was pushing off the ground with all four hooves.

Amidst the swirling snow, its massive body unleashed a speed comparable to that of the Silver Pegasus, hurtling headlong towards Troy with a deafening roar.

The five-meter-long spiral horn gleamed with a cold, hard light, and its crushing impact was enough to chill one to the bone just by looking at it.

Troy's face turned pale. He tried to dodge but couldn't speed up in time. The unicorn's oppressive aura was too strong. He felt like he was facing a tailed beast.

In his haste, he waved his hand and played all the cards, attempting to create a magnetic field to influence the unicorn's impact.

However, when the diamond collided with the aura surrounding the unicorn, it instantly lost its momentum and bounced off into the snow without moving.

In the blink of an eye, the unicorn had rushed close, and Troy's figure was as small as a reptile in front of the unicorn.

"Oh!"

The giant horn slammed into Troy, and his body instantly exploded like a broken doll, but his scattered remains were crackling with lightning chakra.

"Hmm? A lightning clone!" Qingwu activated his natural senses and looked towards the treetops.

But then Troy was seen leaning against a treetop, covering his eyes: "Ah, my eyes, my eyes!"
