Naruto: Blood Mist Escape

After the secret mission was completed, Wuxin spent a week peacefully in the Land of Rivers. When Commander Murayama Yuto could no longer bear it and wanted to lead his team to search for Maruoka Tsunekazu's team heading to the Land of Fire, Maruoka Tsunekazu finally returned late, and the team was the same as before the departure, without any damage.

In the hotel, in Murayama Yuto's room, Wuxin, Maruoka Tsunekazu and others were sitting below, while in front of them, Murayama Yuto was sitting cross-legged with a scroll in his hand.

After Maruoka Tsunekazu finished reporting what he saw, Murayama Yuto nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:

“Henghe, it’s not as simple as you said.

On the surface, there is only some friction and tension on the border between Feng and Huo countries, which seems far from the point of war.

However, during the reign of the Second Mizukage, our Water Country often had frictions with various countries.

The First Ninja World War broke out suddenly due to frequent conflicts, border frictions, and accumulated hatred.

My father died in the First Ninja World War because of this..."

"Yes!"

Maruoka Tsunekazu agreed respectfully. His mission report was mixed with analysis, and he believed that a war would not break out between the two countries. This idea was not recognized by the experienced and sophisticated Murayama Yuto.

"However, the investigation to this point is sufficient, and the Mizukage-sama will make the judgment on the rest.

Everyone, pack your bags, we will set off back to the village in two hours!"

"Yes!" X9

The ninjas such as Wuxin and the business executives below responded respectfully, then stood up and dispersed.

The merchants and servants downstairs in the hotel packed their luggage and pulled the carriages and pack horses. After everything was ready, under the command of Yuto Murayama, the team left the capital of River Country in an orderly manner and marched towards the port city in the south of River Country.

During the journey, Shui Lian and Yamagami Caizhi reunited with Wuxin, and the three of them were at the end of the team, serving as the team's defenders.

Shui Lian, who had returned to Wu Xin's team, frequently looked at the captain Wu Xin who was standing beside him. Wu Xin had been holding the scroll in his hand since he left the capital and stepped onto the forest road. He had been walking for most of the day without raising his head. Shui Lian could not help but say:

“Wuxin, Captain, the mission is over, it’s time to relax.

Teacher Yongren once taught me that a ninja who doesn't know how to rest is not a good ninja. The way you keep reading makes me ashamed..."

"The captain is a genius in the village. He learns ninjutsu quickly. Unlike us, it is very difficult to learn ninjutsu."

Wuxin didn't answer. Shan Shangcaizhi on the side smiled and replied to Shuilian.

Wuxin's pet didn't ask, and studied ninjutsu. The scroll in his hand was compiled by Wuxin himself, and it was about the water transformation technique of the Kizuna clan. Although Wuxin had a good memory, a good memory was not as good as a bad pen. The memory of Kizuna Mai's secret technique that he had explored before was written on the scroll.

"Ah, there is no such thing as a genius in the world. It's just that they work harder than others."

Wuxin seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and replied to the two of them perfunctorily, continuing to study the ghost lantern secret technique.

When it comes to practicing ninjutsu, Wuxin is a bit careless. In the ninja team, he studies the secret ninjutsu of the village's ninja clan and is not afraid of being discovered by others.

However, no one would be so ignorant as to peek at the contents of the scroll. Stealing others' ninjutsu is a taboo.

Wuxin's so-called hard work caused Shuilian's mood to fluctuate. He knew Wuxin's attainments in water-style ninjutsu. They had been through many missions together. Wuxin had performed many types of water-style ninjutsu, including some very powerful ones.

Shui Lian knew that he was not a genius. He had always overestimated Wuxin's strength with the word "genius". He had not paid much attention to Wuxin's study scrolls in the past. This time, he felt that he seemed to understand why Wuxin was so strong and had so many reserves of ninjutsu.

"Put in more effort than others? Just enough effort, right?"

Shui Lian muttered something, took out a ninjutsu scroll from her bag and began to study it.

"Hard work... I don't know about other things, but at least when it comes to learning ninjutsu, hard work does have some effect.

It's just that the strength of a ninja is not the same as the more ninjutsu he masters. Many special jonins often have outstanding individual abilities. "

Wu Xin glanced at Shui Lian, spoke slowly, and after a slight pause, he continued:

"Also, Suiren, please keep alert with Caizhi. We are the defenders of the team..."

Wu Xin finished speaking and turned his gaze back to the scroll in his hand.

Normally, there would be no danger on this route on the return journey.

Wuxin is, after all, a small leader of the team, with two strong men under him. In such a relatively safe environment, it would be best for his subordinates to be on guard, and it is impossible for him to do everything by himself.

"It's okay. The environment is relatively safe. I'll just be on guard."

Shan Shangcaizhi on the side smiled faintly.

Shui Lian was about to put away the scroll helplessly. After hearing what Yamagami Caizhi said, she smiled and said:

"Ayaori, you are so kind."

The team, including Wuxin, was a little lax. Wuxin didn't say much and focused on studying the secret art of water transformation.

It took a week to return to the capital of River Country from the Kingdom of Wind, plus the time of waiting for Maruoka Tsunekazu's team, which was almost half a month. During this time, Wuxin had been studying ninjutsu, and he had initially mastered the ninjutsu given by the Third Mizukage.

The secret art of water transformation is deeply understood, but it cannot reach the level of the Ghost Lantern Clan. According to Wuxin, the secret art of the Ghost Lantern Clan has the ability to quickly heal itself. The Water Wrist Technique can increase the strength of one's limbs and can also transform into a large water monster.

The prerequisite for all this is that, first of all, the body must be able to adapt to the secret technique of hydration, so that when attacked, the body can liquefy as a normal reaction. Moreover, Mai Hozuki's ninjutsu training has not reached that level.

Wu Xin has been studying for a long time and realized that it is not easy to master the secret art of water transformation. However, after a long period of study, it has achieved some results. Although the body cannot react to water transformation instinctively, it can control water transformation by itself.

For a short period of time, you can turn yourself into a ball of jelly-like slime similar to water, avoiding physical attacks and reducing water-based ninjutsu attacks.

This level of water transformation has met Wuxin's requirements. It can confuse the enemy and make them mistakenly think that Wuxin's main body is a water clone. After liquefying on the ground, when the enemy is not paying attention, it will recondense into a human form and launch a counterattack.

It requires precise judgment to use it. Compared with the systematic practice of the Gui Lantern clan, Wuxin has only mastered the basics, but for Wuxin, it is barely enough.

The team set out from the Kingdom of Rivers and arrived at a port city called Nangang in the southern part of the Kingdom of Rivers in the evening after a week. After a night's rest, the team boarded a sailboat the next morning to start their sea voyage.

After sailing for more than twenty days, Wuxin and his companions finally set foot on the territory of the Water Kingdom.

Wuxin arrived at the central island of the Water Kingdom and headed towards the village. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the air in the Water Kingdom seemed sweeter. It was no longer as oppressive as before, and there was no longer the faint smell of blood.

The change of Mizukage seemed to dispel the blood mist of the Water Country and wipe out the haze in the hearts of the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village.

This made the moody and unpredictable Mist Ninja Murayama Yuto, Wuxin and others feel a little relieved.
