Naruto: Blood Mist Escape

The Wuxin merchant caravan did not encounter any more attacks on the road afterwards, and arrived safely at the capital of the Kingdom of Rivers in the evening a week later.

In the city, in Rukawa's hotel room, Wuxin led the team to report the observations and judgments of the Wind Kingdom to the operations commander Murayama Yuto.

"The above is what we have seen and analyzed."

After reporting to Murayama Yuto who was sitting on the tatami in the room, Wuxin made a final summary.

At the same time, he glanced at Murayama Hayato's right arm. There was a bandage wrapped around Murayama Hayato's right arm, indicating the signs of injury.

When Murayama Yuto was communicating with Wuxin, he asked very carefully. After listening to Wuxin's summary, he nodded slightly and said:

“Okay, you guys have worked hard.

As your temporary leader, I... invite you to take a hot spring bath.

The hot springs in the country of rivers have a different charm compared to those in our hometown. "

At the end of his speech, Murayama Hayato revealed a lazy smile on his face.

"ha...?"

Wuxin was surprised that the mission was not over yet, which was too consistent with Murayama Yuto's usual style.

Although he did not witness the great battle between the Wind and Fire armies during this mission, Wuxin had a deep understanding of the large number of ninjas gathered in Fierce Wind City and the strict inspections. Only after leaving the Kingdom of Wind did he feel a little relieved.

However, when Yuto Murayama treated Wuxin to a hot spring bath, Wuxin's remaining wariness instantly relaxed.

"Yes!" X2

The other two Genin who were originally from Kaguya Takema's team agreed readily. They were very happy to be able to get closer to the village's Jonin.

"Well...I won't go. I want to rest alone for a while."

Eri Mihara politely refused with a look of apology on her face.

After a week, the sadness faded away, and Eri Mihara's original liveliness completely disappeared. She became quiet and indifferent.

"Rest assured and adjust well."

Murayama Yuto spoke softly, without any intention of forcing anyone.

"Yes..."

Eri Mihara nodded softly, stood up and left the room.

Murayama Yuto watched Mihara Eri leave, and turned his gaze to the three Wuxin people sitting upright below, and said softly:

"No one can avoid the fate of a ninja. The border situation of the Wind Country can also reflect the border situation of the Fire Country.

When Maruoka Tsuneka's team returns, if everything goes well, the end of our mission won't be far away.

Let’s go and have a good rest.”

After saying this, Murayama Yuto stood up and walked towards the door. At the same time, he seemed to notice the restraint of the two Genin and added:

"Don't feel constrained. A ninja who doesn't understand the importance of rest is not a good ninja. This is the valuable experience of senior jonin."

Everyone left the hotel and headed for the bathhouse.

The night is especially suitable for taking a hot spring bath. After soaking in the hot springs, Wu Xin and others' skin, which had been ravaged by the dry desert climate in the Kingdom of Wind, seemed to have returned to its previous tender state, and they felt extremely relaxed and comfortable.

...

In the hotel room, Wuxin, who had just finished taking a bath, was wearing a loose bathrobe and sitting on the tatami, with three scrolls at his feet. After being treated with his own money by Murayama Hayato, Wuxin felt much more relaxed.

Wuxin picked up the scroll and studied the ninjutsu that the third Mizukage had given to him before he set out in order to improve his strength.

Wuxin has basically mastered the B-level illusion technique, the water drowning technique. However, another A-level ninjutsu, the water tornado technique, is a little difficult for Wuxin at the moment.

Wuxin's practice and insights made him feel that it might be due to his chakra problem that the water tornado technique he performed could not achieve the power described in the scroll.

It might be because the minimum chakra requirement for the Water Tornado Technique was not met, resulting in insufficient power.

"The Water Tornado Technique summons water that quickly spins and rises like a tornado. Then it controls the water to spread like a waterfall and attack the opponent downwards, eventually forming a large river. All offense and defense are controlled by the caster.

I used it and barely managed to make the water rise like a tornado, but the subsequent power is hard to describe in words..."

Wuxin held the scroll in his hands, contemplating and thinking. This ninjutsu was the one that took Wuxin the longest time to learn since he started learning ninjutsu.

Although it can be used to control the water flow to rotate around the body, this effect is only consistent with the direction of the water array wall that Wuxin has improved and strengthened. The subsequent river impact and waterfall smash are weak and powerless, and cannot reach the power described in the scroll.

However, this ninjutsu gave Wuxin some inspiration to strengthen the water array wall. The water flow rotated around Zhou Shen, and the original water array wall was just a water wall.

Wuxin has been studying water array walls for more than half a year and can erect water walls in three directions at the same time. However, compared with the effect of rotation, the three-year water wall consumes more chakra and is not as strong as the rotation defense.

Water Tornado Technique, the initial state of the ninjutsu is that the water flow rotates around the body, and then the water flow rotates, getting higher and higher, and finally the water tornado rises to a certain height, bends forward and smashes forward, while the water flow below rushes forward, the upper and lower attacks together, taking the enemy away in one move.

"If I use some of the ideas of this ninjutsu and mix them into the water array wall, I may be able to achieve what I envisioned, manipulating the water array wall to surround my body and make the defense impeccable."

Wuxin has studied ninjutsu for a long time and has gained some insights. The scene is not suitable for practicing ninjutsu, so Wuxin went over the ideas in his mind several times and memorized them. Then he closed the scroll and picked up another scroll at his feet.

On the mission scroll, the names of Mai Hozuki and Takema Kaguya were smeared with blood, and there are two mission targets left.

Murayama Yuto Wuxin couldn't do it no matter what. In view of what Kaguya Takema had done before, Wuxin realized at this moment that the negative information about Murayama Yuto in this scroll was most likely fake.

Wuxin carefully looked at the information of the senior Genin Xuelan.

Xue Lan: Male, 13 years old, a genin of the Snow Clan, cruel and good at disguise. He especially likes to kill innocent people. When he was 11 years old, he killed 12 innocent villagers in a certain village, and when he was years old, he killed someone in his team.

Proficient in ninjutsu: Water clone technique, assassination technique, mist hiding technique... and other ninjutsu.

Proficient in physical skills: Able to skillfully use the acupuncture points of the Snow Clan's physical skills.

Conclusion: A dangerous senior ninja who likes to use Senbon to block the enemy's acupuncture points to subdue the enemy, and then cut off the enemy's hands and feet.

"It is quite brutal... But is this scroll trustworthy?"

Wuxin slowly closed the scroll, thoughts turning in his mind.

The description of Mai Hozuki in the scroll is basically consistent with the above, except that some of her shortcomings are slightly exaggerated, but it is not fabricated.

After an unintentional contact with Kaguya Takema, the information about him that I could tell from his description was basically forced and totally inconsistent.

In the brief time that Wuxin and the others had contact with this ninja from the Snow Clan since they set out from the Water Country, the only impression they had was that he looked very cold and aloof, giving the impression that strangers were not allowed to approach him.

But there was one thing about Xue Lan that particularly impressed Wu Xin. When the team set out from the Hidden Mist Village, the merchant servants caught a rabbit. They were originally planning to add it to the meal, but Xue Lan ordered them to release the rabbit.

A person who can't bear to kill even a rabbit is really different from the description in the information.

After what happened to Kaguya Takema, Wuxin began to have great doubts about the authenticity of the information on the scroll.

"I heard that the village has a very severe punishment for mission failure. Let's wait until their team can survive and come here..."

Wuxin stood up and put the scroll into his ninja tool backpack, waiting for Maruoka Tsune and the Chunin team to return from the Land of Fire.
