Naruto: Blood Mist Escape

At the Takeuchi Weapon Shop, the owner, Takeuchi Taro, sat on a chair at the counter, fanning himself contentedly with a small fan in his hand, glancing at the street outside the store from time to time, looking for customers.

"Hey, this kid looks a bit like..."

Taro Takeuchi let out a light exclamation, stood up from his chair, leaned over the counter, and looked at Wuxin carefully.

"Uncle Taro."

Wu Xin greeted softly and walked towards the store.

“Wuxin…? You, you’re finally back!”

When Takeuchi Taro heard the familiar voice, he was a little surprised at first, then he was delighted, and immediately stood up and walked towards Wuxin.

"I haven't seen you for a few months. You've grown a lot taller. I didn't recognize you at first glance."

Taro Takeuchi walked to Wuxin with a smile and pointed his palm at the top of Wuxin's head.

"This mission was rather troublesome and took a little longer. Have I grown taller...?"

Wu Xin looked at Takeuchi Taro and felt that his smile was a little...conspiratorial? After briefly explaining the task, Wu Xin reached out and touched the top of his head to measure his height.

Wuxin is over ten years old and is at the stage of growth. He only feels the increase of chakra. Takeuchi Taro, who had not seen him for several months, noticed at a glance that Wuxin has grown a little taller.

"Well, he has grown a lot taller. If he were taller, he would have more manly temperament.

But, getting back to the point…

Wuxin, the orders for the banana leaf fan and the jade bottle have been piled up. I have controlled the sales volume and only sold five of each.

You have to work hard to make these treasures."

After a few pleasantries, Takeuchi Taro immediately got down to business. There was still a sample in the fan shop that could be given to customers to play with. There was only one jade bottle at the moment, and it was in Wuxin's possession.

"Understood! We just got back from the mission. Rest for two days first, and then start working again in two days!"

Wuxin heaved a sigh of relief, thinking it was a big deal, but it was just that. At the same time, he felt that people really need to have some skills. Even though he had been away from work for such a long time, his boss, Takeuchi Taro, didn't get angry at all.

Taro Takeuchi was not only out of temper, at this moment he almost knelt down and begged Wuxin to quickly make the treasure and deliver it to the customer.

Wu Xin started work two days later. Takeuchi Taro agreed without hesitation and said:

"The banana leaf fan, we have samples in the store, you don't know. If I hadn't controlled the order volume, I'm afraid hundreds of people would have ordered this fan.

Even for this sample in the store, someone offered ten times the price for it, but I resisted and didn't sell it!

We cannot make too many of these treasures that can only be used to store our stores. The best way is to make a huge profit, and we absolutely cannot make small profits but quick turnover.

Well, Wuxin, you just came back, take a good rest and then start working after you’ve rested.

I will have all the materials ready in two days."

As Taro Takeuchi spoke, he rubbed his hands and said that he wanted Wuxin to have a good rest, but he remembered clearly that Wuxin said that work would start in two days, so he confirmed the date.

"Don't worry, Uncle Taro! I won't let you break your promise."

Wuxin was infected by the smile and answered Takeuchi Taro with a smile.

There is room for improvement in the heartless banana leaf fan. The blades can be woven to increase their toughness so that they can become weapons.

The only fan that Wuxin really spent time and effort to forge was the one he held in his hands. The other fans were basically just carved with a Wind Style Whirlwind, and it was a reduced-power version.

For those who buy the banana leaf fan, the fan can help him a little, but it cannot have a decisive impact. Unlike the one in Wuxin's hand, it consumes a little chakra and can instantly release powerful wind escape ninjutsu, especially against ninjas who are good at wind escape ninjutsu, it has a miraculous effect.

Wuxin's words calmed Takeuchi Taro's restless heart. Takeuchi Taro smiled and said:

"Okay, okay, then I'm relieved. Wuxin, your mission took so long, you must be very tired, right? Go back and have a rest, and then come back to work in the store after you've rested well."

During the five months that Wuxin disappeared, Takeuchi Taro suspected that Wuxin died in the mission, but he could not get any news. This made Takeuchi Taro, who had accepted an order from a customer, very worried recently. The appearance of Wuxin made his worries disappear.

"Well, no rush...

Uncle Taro, has anything major happened in the village during the time I was away from it?"

Wuxin changed the subject and asked about the time he was away from the village. During this time, the village was in turmoil due to the tailed beasts, but Takeuchi Taro was alive and well, so he should definitely know about it.

"You left the village nearly half a year ago, right? Five months? No wonder..."

Takeuchi Taro did not answer immediately, but recalled and estimated the time when Wuxin left the village. After thinking for a while, he continued:

"It was around mid-January, late at night, when two monsters suddenly appeared in the village.

Two of the monsters were huge. One looked like a turtle, but had three tails. The other looked like a slug, but had six tails on its body. It was huge!"

As Takeuchi Taro spoke, he opened his arms and gestured, as if to show Wuxin how big the monster was.

"I can see the monster even from my home. Luckily it's far away, or my house would be destroyed. Anyway, it's scary!"

Taro Takeuchi gestured a few times and finally made a summary, looking a little frightened.

Wu Xin thought to himself, "Is it really the Three-Tailed and Six-Tailed rioting?

Regarding the village's weapon, the tailed beast, I, as Yagura said, do not have the authority to know these secrets. There is no need to know these things. For things like this, the more you know, the more trouble you will have..."

Wuxin understood what the Fourth Generation Yagura had said before. If he knew such confidential matters, he might end up having to do some mission to protect the Jinchūriki. The gain would outweigh the loss, so it would be better not to know.

Wu Xin thought for a while and asked:

"Third-generation Mizukage, is that why...?"

"Well, in order to protect the village, the Third Mizukage led the Sealing Squad to seal the monster. Since there were two monsters, the Mizukage was unable to take care of one while the other was, and in the end, he sealed the monster at the cost of his life."

Taro Takeuchi showed a look of nostalgia and admiration. After he finished speaking, he waved to Wuxin, motioning Wuxin to come closer.

Wuxin was a little confused and leaned closer to listen.

"Let me tell you, many people in the village said that the monsters were deliberately released. Otherwise, there wouldn't be two of them at the same time. Many people suspect..."

Takeuchi Taro felt like he was whispering something to Wuxin, and he raised his head and looked around a few times. Seeing that there was indeed no one around, he lowered his head and whispered:

"Many people suspect that Lord Yagura is the mastermind behind this...

However, there are also rumors that the Third Mizukage designated Lord Yagura as the Fourth Mizukage before his death. I think this rumor is not credible, after all, when the Third Mizukage died, there were only a few people around him.

And because of the seal of the monster, the guards around the third generation were killed or injured, leaving only Yagura-sama. So, this kind of thing is complicated if it is not handled well! "

"It's just a rumor! Those who are innocent will be cleared!"

Wuxin listened and listened, and at the end, Tiyakura retorted.

At the same time, doubts flashed through his mind. Taro Takeuchi's gossip had details and did not seem to be groundless.
