Konoha Thief

Chapter 258
"Oh?" Kosuke Maruyoshi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and opened his squinted eyes slightly, revealing one bright and one cloudy eye, "Encountered a strong enemy?"

Although he doesn't say he knows everything about his disciple's strength, he has a rough grasp of it, so the enemy who can let Xia Shu display Konoha Ryu Liu must be a very difficult existence.

"It's Yan Yin's Blast Dunshou." Xia Shu nodded, and then explained: "I took the lead at that time, so that knife hurt him."

"Bakudenshou, a person whose name I only heard of." Maruyoshi Kosuke has never met this person, so he can only infer from Natsuki's description, and the result is that even if he is the one who draws the sword, it may be impossible. Can't leave it alone.

"It's been a long time since we discussed each other, come on." Maruhoshi Kosuke stood up, without asking Xia Shu about any obstacles in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's almost time for the dishes to be cooked."

"Yeah." Xia Shu didn't feel underestimated, and the reason why he came here was to confront Kosuke Maruhoshi. After all, even Kosuke Maruhoshi had already said that he had nothing to teach Xia Shu. The tree's gone.

Kosuke Maruyoshi could no longer just break a branch and teach Natsuki a lesson, so he went back to the house and fetched the ninja sword. In addition to his swordsmanship, he has a little bit of his own characteristics in this respect.

They were a few steps away from each other, because they had never practiced drawing swords and chopping, so the two directly endured the sword and drew it out of its sheath, and then there was no need for a referee.

As soon as he moved, his body turned into a black line, and there was a ding sound in the air, followed by continuous collisions of blades, just like the climax of the pipa song Ambush from Ten Sides.

"Not bad." The two separated suddenly and fell back to the original place. Kosuke Maruhoshi showed a very satisfied smile on his face and commented lightly.

It has to be said that at this moment, Kosuke Maruhoshi is really a master, and Xia Shu couldn't help but be startled.

Kosuke Maruhoshi immediately seized the opening, and made a move of Konoha Ryu Yun Zhongyan, and quickly came to Xia Shu.

Xia Shu hurriedly swung his sword to meet him, and also used Konoha Ryu Yun Zhongyan. Although his better choice at this moment was the secret sword Eryingbu, this battle was a confrontation of Konoha Ryu.

Chi! ——

The blades rubbed against each other, and there was a lingering scream. The two of them used Konoha Ryu - Raccoon Slash and Konoha Ryu - Carp Dance one after another.

At this moment, the two figures suddenly separated, and fell to the side where the other was standing before, as if they were swapping, their figures were obviously much more embarrassed.

However, the two of them opened their mouths slightly and panted slightly, obviously trying to relax, and preparing for the last move!
At this moment, the Qi machine condensed, and the air seemed to be frozen. Kosuke Maruyoshi raised his arm slightly, and Natsuki also raised his arm slowly as if copying it. Weeping willows by the side, the breeze blows gently, giving people a breath of peace.

The breath of tranquility was suddenly torn apart, the light of the knife flashed, and the two dueling figures switched positions again, standing with their backs facing each other.

After a long time, Xia Shu coughed, and a red mark appeared on the right side of his neck, which was not a blood mark, just like the ninja knife he was holding backwards in his hand.

But even if the back of the knife was slashed, the taste was still uncomfortable. Xia Shu coughed violently for a long time while holding the knife, before he finally recovered.

At this time, Kosuke Maruyoshi was already sitting in front of the stew pot, shaking the cattail fan in his hand, fanning the firewood more vigorously, the aroma in the stew pot had already floated out from the seam of the pot lid, tempting appetite.

"Master, are you alright?" Xia Shu was not intimidated by Maruyoshi Kosuke's appearance, put away the knife casually, rubbed his neck and said with a smile.

Of course there is no lack of concern, but there is also a hint of banter.

He was stabbed in the neck, and Kosuke Maruyoshi was stabbed in the ribs. Although he was hit by the back of the knife, he also held back his strength, but the words that the sword has no eyes is not a joke after all, so Kosuke Maruyoshi definitely feels uncomfortable.

However, this seemed to be just what he felt, Kosuke Maruyoshi smiled lightly when he heard the words, stretched out his right hand as if showing off, and picked up the lid of the pot.

Xia Shu was a little suspicious for a while, and then lost. He thought he had the strength to compete with Maruhoshi Kosuke, but the result is still far behind?
"Don't be dazed, come and eat... oops!" Maruyoshi Kosuke greeted, and suddenly kicked Natsuki's bowl over by accident. He picked up the bowl, waved his hand beside him and said: "I'll get you a clean bowl, you can taste the saltiness first, it's suitable."

Before he finished speaking, he had entered the room involuntarily, but before he had time to sheath his Ninja Knife, the narrow blade reflected the rays of the rising sun, making it a little dazzling.

Not to mention the nostalgia, Maruyoshi Kosuke's stewing technology has reached its peak. In the words of gourmets, it is the fusion of skills and emotions, which makes the simple and cheap ingredients cook out the ultimate taste. The aroma already gives people a sense of spiritual satiety!
However, it is a pity that Maruyoshi Kosuke does not plan to open a store, and as a ten thousand year ninja, the tasks he accepts are generally not accessible to people like lonely gourmets, so the food can only be hidden among the people.

And thinking about it this way, Xia Shu immediately ate more deliciously.

"Huh~" After a long time, Xia Shu let out a long breath, and there was only vegetable soup left in the stew pot. In fact, Wakamaruhoshi Kosuke stewed rice, and he didn't want to let the vegetable soup go.

"Are you full?" Kosuke Maruhoshi asked with a smile.

"I'm full, hiccup~ I'm hiccupping, hehe!" Xia Shu stroked his puffed belly, and said lazily, "Thank you, master, for your hospitality."

"Hey, it's good if you're satisfied." Maruhoshi Kosuke had a smile of 'then you can feel at ease' on his face, and said softly: "It's too coincidental for you to come, and it's not just in time for breakfast."

"What else did you catch up with?" Xia Shu asked casually.

Kosuke Maruhoshi took out the agricultural tools hidden behind his back, faced Natsuki's dull expression, smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Under this expression of 'I'll give you a choice' hides 'there is only one truth'.

Xia Shu lowered his lips, smiled unnaturally, and said with emotion: "I think...it's really a coincidence!"

"Then let's act." Maruhoshi Kosuke encouraged with a smile, and then he seemed to remember something, and added: "By the way, there is still a vegetable field in the backyard that has not been dewormed, and this task is also entrusted to you. I think you didn’t do this kind of simple task a few times back then, but now although your strength is not what it used to be, you still have to sharpen your temper, this is also cultivation!”

Xia Shu pouted, but what could he say?Of course, listen to what the master says.
