Konoha Thief

Chapter 15 The Black Rope
In the forest, the sun is selflessly swaying, and after the decoration of the lush leaves, the mottled silhouette spots are sprinkled on the ground.

laugh! ~

A sharp breath flashed past, tearing the spot of light, the leaves rustled down, and neat cuts could be seen floating in the air.

The short boy jumped out quickly, his feet were solid, and his body was parallel to the ground and stood on the thick tree trunk.

All of a sudden, the young man waved his arms, and the strong wind that tore through the air suddenly reappeared, and there was a faint sharp sound.

Under the shining of the dappled sunlight, a thin line flashed in the air, as thin as a hair, but it flew away like lightning.

The young man flexed his claws with five fingers, his slender but powerful palm was hidden in the shade of the tree, and the entangled silk thread was almost invisible. Suddenly, his index finger flicked, and the corners of his mouth turned slightly coldly. Voices.

Seeing this young man nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, all five fingers were stretched out again, this time the sound was noisy but fleeting, but the sound of separation between them could no longer be concealed, and the scene presented magnified all of this.

Chi Chi Chi! ~

The sound of splitting was like a knife cutting through leather, and what followed was a barbaric and lush tree with rotten branches and broken wood. The top ten-meter-long peak tilted towards the other The trees, however, were blocked and supported, while the other small and large fragments fell sporadically and fell into the grass.

"Is it the wind escape technique?"

A clear voice came, and the visitor did not hide his whereabouts, so the boy had already noticed it.

Although this place is a piece of wild forest, it is not considered vast, and such movements cannot escape the ears and eyes of Aoki Gennosuke.

"No."

The young man glanced sideways, stretched his palms, retracted circles of slender black silk threads in a special way, Aoki Genzhisuke was stunned when he saw it.

"Is it steel wire?"

Aoki Gennosuke said in surprise.

"Well, but I injected wind attribute chakra into it, adding sharpness to it."

Xia Shu looked down at the wire wrapped around his hand, casually put it in the ninja tool bag, and looked sideways at the young Chunin.

Hearing this explanation, Aoki Gennosuke was startled for a moment, and wondered: "Oh? Your steel wire is specially made, and it can be infused with chakra?"

As we all know, there is a special metal with chakra conduction properties in the ninja world, which is different from the ordinary steel used to make ninja tools. This chakra conduction metal is generally tougher in nature, and because of the differences in the locations where the veins are hidden, bred With different chakra attributes.

The most representative one is Kirigakure. The seven ninja knives in his village rely on the prestige of seven special ninja knives, most of which are forged with special chakra metal.

However, this kind of metal with special properties is a resource that is in short supply even in the entire ninja world. If it is released, it will cause a lot of competition, and bloodshed and killing are always accompanied by it.

That's why Gennosuke Aoki's expression became weird at the moment. After all, if he really had chakra metal, who would use it to make steel wires!

The steel wire is a kind of ninja tool, and it is mostly used for manipulating equipment, or setting traps, and has the effect of triggering, binding, and restricting. In addition, there is a fire escape technique called Dragon Fire Art in the Uchiha family, which can cooperate with the steel wire , to carry out long-distance directional fire escape attacks.

But it has never been used like Natsuki, especially it can be injected with wind attribute chakra, which is unheard of, but it is like a unique secret technique.

"Mr. Aoki, are you talking about chakra conductive metal? Unfortunately, it's not. The only parents in Matsuzaki's family are ninjas, but they can't keep such precious things."

Xia Shu shook his head, pouted a little self-deprecatingly.

"That's... oh, sorry, this method is already considered a secret technique."

Gennosuke Aoki was still about to ask, but he suddenly reacted and said apologetically.

"Secret art?"

"That's right, there are some ninja families in the village who inherit secret techniques."

"I see, but it doesn't make sense to me."

Xia Shu shook his head with a wry smile when he heard the words, a low breath exuded from his expression.

Hearing this, Gennosuke Aoki was taken aback for a moment, his eyes flickered a few times, and he suddenly grinned.

He jumped up to Xia Shu's side, and raised his hand to press Xia Shu's head, which made the latter frown slightly, his index finger trembled, and he quickly clenched his fist to suppress the reaction.

Gennosuke Aoki rubbed the young man's hair vigorously, and hummed in a feigned dissatisfaction, "Hey! You little brat is too disgusting!"

"Ok?"

Xia Shu tilted his head in confusion.

"Hmph! When I was your age, I wasn't even as good as Hei Yu. Didn't I try my best to become a Chunin now? And you are obviously so talented, and you are still sighing here, how can I feel so bad!"

After speaking, the young Chunin pretended to be annoyed and puffed up his face, and the unreliability hidden under that sunny temperament suddenly became more obvious.

"I, I'm not... okay! Teacher Aoki, I'm just a little bored because my strength is improving slowly."

Xia Shu smiled embarrassedly, secretly thinking in his heart that he had gotten away with it.

"You are still young, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Besides, at your age, your strength is already considered very powerful. Even the descendants of the ninja family are mostly inferior to you, so don't belittle yourself."

Gennosuke Aoki patted the young man's head with a smile, and said in a relaxed tone: "Besides, the war is coming to an end, and after a while, Konoha Village will return to its former prosperity, maybe before the mission of guarding the border is over! Hehe ! When the time of peace comes, everything will be better!"

He narrowed his eyes with a smile, a look of longing and longing appeared on his face, and his soft tone seemed to have arrived at that scene.

Hearing this, Xia Shu understood from the bottom of his heart.

Gennosuke Aoki interpreted the depression in his expression and words as fear of war, so he said these to comfort him.

However, in fact, although Xia Shu hates war, he is not afraid of it. People who have experienced death cherish life more, but they also have the courage to put everything aside and fight to the death.

Even if he didn't go to the battlefield right now, it's still unknown how he will behave if he does, but if it's a time of life and death, he thinks that he won't be cowardly and retreat, he will only go forward and fight!

Of course, it doesn’t make sense to say these things at this moment. Now the war between Konoha and Sagakure is coming to an end. Just like Gennosuke Aoki said, perhaps the war has ended before the task of defending the border is over, and the ninja world is ushering in Peace for a short time!

But compared to these big situations that are out of his reach, what really makes him happy is the steel wire wrapped around his hands, or—the black rope!
