Immortal Hokage

"trust you"

After hearing Kurokawa Shin's words, Kimura Shizuka's expression suddenly changed. She had already guessed what Kurokawa Shin wanted to do.

"Didn't Ying ask us to wait for him here? Why are you disobedient again?"

Kimura Shizuka's face was full of worry. She was really afraid that Kurokawa Nobu would act recklessly and run out to fight the enemy desperately.

"Shizuka, Ying is our partner, not our guard, how can we let him fight outside alone?"

A faint smile appeared on Kurokawa Nobu's face. He looked sincerely at Kimura Shizuka aside and said, "Besides, Ying can't protect us for the rest of our lives."

"I never want to think that next time you are in danger, I will be powerless."

As he said that, Kurokawa Shin suddenly held Shizuka Kimura's hand, "That feeling is more uncomfortable than dying myself."

"Forget it, let him go"

Looking at Kurokawa Nobu's sincere eyes and feeling the warmth from his palms, Kimura Shizuka's worried heart suddenly calmed down and she secretly felt relieved in her heart.

"How can you become stronger if you are always protected?"

Kurokawa Nobu looked confidently, and Kimura Shizuka beside him said, "Let's fight out together and complete this mission. I will protect you, Shizuka."

"Ah."

Kimura Shizuka also smiled, and then said with a smile, "I will help you treat your injury right away."

"bring it on"

Kurokawa Shin clenched his fists and his eyes were firm. While receiving treatment from Kimura Shizuka, he secretly swore in his heart:

"I will definitely return the favor you saved me this time, Ying."

"The guy before was probably one of the three wandering warriors. If the other two were only at this level, I would just kill him."

Yao Shiying recalled the strength of the bald man, the bloody brilliance in his eyes, and hesitation.

"If there are more than ten more flesh and blood essences of this quality, I should be able to completely enter the realm of Qi training with the help of the essence contained in them."

"By then, in this world, I will be able to protect myself somewhat."

Yao Shiying's heart moved. Once a cultivator enters the realm of Qi training, he can communicate with the vitality between heaven and earth, cleanse himself, and achieve innate life.

"As soon as I enter the realm of Qi training, I can condense magic weapons. By then, my combat power will inevitably increase exponentially, and I will be able to resist the monks in the foundation-building realm."

While Yao Shiying was thinking about the future path, he ran as fast as he could, heading towards the direction with the breath of life.

Under the detection of Yao Shiying's mental power, the positions of the bandits were as conspicuous as bright lights in the dark night.

"found it."

Before she had gone very far, Yao Shiying sensed three people who seemed to be patrolling behind a haystack to her left front.

"whoosh"

Without any hesitation, Yao Shiying trembled and jumped out, covering a distance of nearly ten meters in an instant.

"I think we should not go any further. There are woods ahead. That kind of place is the easiest place to hide people."

Just after Yao Shiying jumped to the haystack, he heard a slightly younger male voice speaking cautiously.

"Ojiro, you kid is not looking for death, right? Lord Okubo told us to patrol strictly and find out those suspicious people lurking in."

Immediately after the young man finished speaking, another slightly rough voice retorted.

"You kid, you are keeping retracting right now. If Okubo-sama finds out, our three brothers may lose their heads. I say, you kid, please don't hurt me."

"What Tsuchiya said is correct, Kojiro, you are not usually so afraid of death. What happened today?"

After the man named Tsuchiya finished speaking, another man's voice rang out and interrupted.

Yao Shiying moved his body slightly, tilted his head a little to the right, and looked at the source of the previous sound.

I saw three men holding daggers standing in a line, talking and walking towards the path to the left of Yao Shiying.

The first person was a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard. He should be the Tsuchiya without a doubt.

Behind him was a young man with maroon hair in his early twenties. His voice should be that of Kojiro.

The one at the back was a skinny old man with a goatee under his chin and no hair on his head.

The three of them were walking step by step towards Yao Shiying, who was searching for them. From time to time, he would take a knife and slash at the bushes aside, where he might be hiding.

Ask for collection, ask for reward

As usual, I have all kinds of requests. Please give me a helping hand. Thank you very much.
