Dancer of Konoha

Chapter 52: Salvation of the Dead Souls

The night breeze was gentle, and there was a ripple and rustle on the branches next to the Konoha gate.It was as if the rising moon exhaled a contented breath to the earth.

Kamizuki Izumo sat alone on the bench next to the gate, looking boredly at the moonlit night sky with sparse stars and couldn't help but sigh.

"That guy Ziti, it takes too long to go to the toilet. Are you constipated..."

Just as he was talking, Gang Zitie walked in from outside the gate, tied his trousers with satisfaction, walked towards Shenyue Izumo and shook his head and said:

"Izumo, how can you understand my uncle's pain? I haven't had the urge to defecate for three days. I finally came out and felt comfortable..."

"Whoosh!"

Along with the sound of cracking in the air, a black light suddenly flashed in front of Gang Zi Tie.

"boom!"

A shuriken nailed a mission access permit to the door, and four blurry figures quickly flashed out of the door.

"Hey! You ANBU bastards, can't you just give us your pass!"

The startled Gangzi Tiechao turned around with a red face and roared at the door.

"These bastards! It's always like this! ANBU are amazing! Damn it..."

Ignoring his old friend's complaints, Kamizuki Izumo pulled out his shuriken, glanced at it cautiously and smiled helplessly:

"You should have gotten used to it, haven't these guys always been like this? And..."

Kamizuki Izumo waved the mission access permit in front of his old friend and continued:

"This time it's the roots..."

"Roots?!"

Gang Ziti's expression froze, and he mumbled awkwardly:

"It's really rare for these gloomy guys to start walking through the door..."

"No, there is something even rarer. This is a new genin class led by root ninja."

Kamizuki Izumo carefully put away the pass, turned back to the bench and joked:

“Besides, after hearing the scolding, when he comes back...will he spread your weird hobbies to the village?

"Probably not..."

Gangzitie swallowed hard, it was over. According to the intelligence capabilities of the root, if it spread, he would be embarrassed to see others...

"Sora, is this really okay?"

Kurama Yakumo's timid voice sounded.

"Of course, brother has wanted to do this for a long time. It's just that he is unable to throw and is afraid of hitting the chuunin uncle's face. You can give it a try next time. It's very enjoyable..."

"To shut up!"

Yanyan, who was exposed, looked ashamed and annoyed.

"Hey hey hey..."

Accompanied by Sora's snickering, the four members of Class quickly shuttled through the dense tree trunks. According to the speed of the four of them, they could reach their destination before dawn.

"Master Yanyan, your chakra control needs to be strengthened. If you do this, it will be easy for the enemy to trace the traces of your movement."

The corners of his eyes glanced at the broken wood splattered from time to time under Yanyan's feet, and Yasha respectfully told Yanyan some ninja experiences.

"Chakra? I don't have this thing..."

Yanyan glanced at Yasha strangely.

"No!"

In disbelief, Yaksha stumbled and almost fell under the tree.

"What a joke!"

Under the sympathetic gaze of Kurama Yakumo, Yasha stared with wide eyes at the tree trunks that were continuously retreating behind Yan Yan in his field of vision. One after another, shallow pits crushed by the soles of his feet formed a row of conspicuous marks.

"Pure physical strength?"

Unconsciously stroking the mask, the horrified Yasha thought of Yan Yan's bloody dance rising and surging with the rotation of the knife wheel, and couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.

"It's a pity. If Master Enyan had chakra, he would definitely become one of the most powerful men in the ninja world in the future."

After calming down a little, Yasha suggested:

"Then let's move on the ground. Leaving too many traces will cause unnecessary trouble."

"Huh? No need."

Yanyan glanced at Yasha strangely again.

"really......"

Yasha smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although he was powerful, after all, he had just graduated from the ninja school, and Master Yanyan still had very little ninja experience. If he continued like this, he would suffer a big loss.

Yasha, who was about to persuade Yanyan, suddenly found that Yanyan's feet were empty! Didn't step on the tree trunk!

"Danger!"

Yasha exclaimed and suddenly kicked off, shooting out from the branch of the tree, trying to catch Yan Yan who was in the air under his feet.

However, Yanyan did not stop. He stepped casually with his toes in the air, as if he had stepped on something real. He ran forward in an instant, followed by another step...

Under the moonlight, the two of them crossed each other and flashed past each other. Yasha, who jumped away, fell to the ground with dull eyes.

"impossible......"

"Bang!!!!"

In the dark night, a swarm of birds flew up one after another.

"Teacher Yasha!!!"

Kurama Yakumo exclaimed.

"Stop teasing Mr. Yasha! Brother!"

"Hi~~Hi~~~"

"..."

"The mission target is Shouzi Ridge in the Kingdom of Suzu. It was the capital of the country more than 40 years ago. Now there are rumors circulating. It is said that it has become a ghost. However, according to the basic information, the Shouzi Ridge is The strangeness comes from the former site of the Daming Mansion of the former First Kingdom. Although the chakra aura is hidden, it is very likely that a powerful illusion-type lizard psychic beast is entrenched there."

"We call it the Shouzaki Lizard."

The four people who arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Ding were taking a break by a creek. Yasha, who was covered in bruises, pretended to be calm and explained the mission information to Team .

Looking at Yanyan sitting on the branch with his legs swinging, Yasha swallowed his saliva and continued absentmindedly:

"According to the information provided by the Kingdom of Honey and the Kingdom of Sweetness, which captured the Kingdom of Shouzaki at that time, the great name of the Kingdom of Shouzaki Gosaku once owned a lizard psychic beast, which caused heavy losses to the two countries, but to what extent was it specifically powerful? No one in either country knows what capabilities it has.

"The intelligence of these small countries is not yet comprehensive, so due to the scarcity of intelligence, this operation must be carried out with caution."

"No one knows about it in both countries? It's impossible. Isn't it possible that no one can see such a big psychic beast?"

Kong listened to Yasha's explanation in surprise.

"To be precise, no living person has seen it. The reason why Shouzaki Lizard is determined to be from the illusion system is because according to records, all the people who died for no reason in front of Shouzaki Gozo had no scars on their bodies, their faces were frightened, and their livers and gallbladders were broken. He was scared to death."

Yasha said calmly, this was nothing surprising to an experienced ninja.

"Is that so..."

Kurama Yakumo subconsciously tapped her lower lip with her index finger. It was the first time she faced an enemy who was also a master of genjutsu, which made her feel a little bit competitive.

"Okay, it's almost time. Try to complete the task before dawn."

At this time, Yanyan's voice came from above everyone's heads.

"Hi!"

With an excited shout, everyone continued to move in the direction of Shoqi Ridge.

Yasha looked at Yanyan with his sleeves flying in front of him with thoughts, and the look in his eyes became more and more respectful.

"It's coming..."

Taking advantage of the starry night, after running around for a while, the four of them came to a narrow mountain road. A tattered road sign was inserted at the narrow fork in front of them. One of the road signs pointed to a valley. The words Shoqi Ridge were clearly visible on the sign. It looks a bit like it was newly replaced.

Feeling something was wrong, Yasha pointed in the direction of the valley and whispered:

"Everyone be careful and don't separate easily."

"Ok!"

The four of them walked slowly into the valley. As a jounin, Yasha's chakra perception suddenly decreased, and even Sora's perception of good and evil seemed to be covered in a fog.

"Brother, I feel a strong malice, but I can't sense the direction."

Kong walked closer to Yanyan and said, his expression a little solemn.

"Well, protect Yakumo and follow me closely..."

Yanyan felt that the world in the valley seemed different from the outside world. In addition to a lot of resentment, the smell of blood was also unusually strong.

Looking up through the narrow gap in the mountain, there are no stars or moon in the night sky, just like an airtight gauze covering the top of the head. The further we go, the more inexplicably permeable the atmosphere becomes.

Kurama Yakumo's face became paler. With her powerful spiritual energy, she seemed to sense something, but she couldn't believe it.

"Yanyansang, there seems to be something invisible surrounding us, so scary..."

Kurama Yakumo whispered tremblingly.

"indeed......"

Yan Yan squinted his eyes and flashed his hand, taking out the Zanpakutō from the copy space. While holding the Zanpakutō in his hand, the surrounding dark fog suddenly became clear in Yan Yan's eyes.

"hiss......"

The scene in front of him made Yanyan take a breath. Thousands of wandering souls were approaching the four living people. Yanyan was not afraid, but just a little surprised.

In the ninja world, the theory of ghosts is only spread in legends and myths, and it is even more nonsense in the eyes of murderous ninjas. However, at this moment, it really exists around Team .

With the appearance of the Zanpakutō, a group of wandering souls seemed to have encountered a natural enemy. They avoided the flames in an orderly manner and squeezed towards the surrounding mountain walls. There were only a few samurai wearing Zha armor who braved a little red light. The wandering souls stared at Yan Yan resentfully, but the soul-stirring aura of the Zanpakutō made them dare not move rashly.

"interesting......"

Yanyan took two steps forward with interest and jumped up. Under the strange looks in Yasha and Kong's eyes, he borrowed the Zanpakutō's primary spirit application and casually grabbed a samurai wandering spirit with a towering helmet, causing some commotion among the wandering spirits.

"I actually caught it!"

Kurama Yakumo watched with a dull expression as Yan Yan grabbed the inexplicable thing she sensed in her hand and dragged it to the ground.

"what!"

Naturally, Yasha and Kong would not think that Yan Yan was crazy. They had already sensed something was wrong and looked around cautiously.

"I also want to find out what this is..."

Yanyan grinned evilly.

I saw Yan Yan squeezing the warrior's wandering soul's head and smashing it to the ground.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

With each hit, the body of the struggling Samurai Wandering Soul stiffened, and under the horrified gazes of the other three people, a human face gradually appeared on the ground.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

A few more hard blows, accompanied by a dull sound, and under Kurama Yakumo's careful perception, the samurai spirit stopped struggling. His whole body was twitching without rhythm, and the surrounding spirits all retreated in horror. step.

Kurama Yakumo looked away somewhat unbearably and murmured in a low voice.

"Sure enough... Yan Yan Sang is a more terrifying existence than ghosts..."

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Sora asked confused.

"Well...I am saving the souls of the dead."

Yan Yan thought for a moment, adjusted his monk's robe, looked at the wandering souls around him with a solemn expression and said.

Wandering Soul: Are you serious?
