Chương 35: The Ninja World is Really Small

Above the sky, amidst the clouds, a figure vigorously flapped its wings, flying forward.

Behind her, a black-haired girl sat cross-legged in mid-air. In a world unseen by ordinary people, her black hair formed a long, slender feather, lifted by the wind. At the tip of the feather, a tethering cable was attached to a blonde girl in front of her.

Dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit, the blonde girl vigorously flapped her pair of transparent fairy wings, creating afterimages.

This is a story about a great demon and a little demon, and a master with her oxen and horses.

Jie Luo carefully examined the scroll of the Earthly Grudge Forbidden Technique in his hand, pondering it over and over. Under the sunlight, the scene was serene and beautiful.

Lucy's face was full of resentment. She said that training her cultivation was just treating her like a beast of burden. Although it didn't take much effort, it was extremely humiliating!

"I hate it so much..."

"What are you muttering about?" Jie Luo asked with a slight smile as she closed the scroll.

"No! Nothing!" Lucy shook her head vigorously, then smiled brightly, "The weather! The weather is so nice!"

Jie Luo lowered his head, pondering how to answer that question.

"The weather..." A gust of wind brushed her face, ruffling her hair. Yura looked down at the mountains and rivers rushing past her feet, the boundless landscape stretching as far as the eye could see. The little people walking around in the town looked like ants. Under the sunlight, she squinted slightly and smiled, "The weather is really nice."

"Is... is there anything you like...?" Lucy's somewhat distorted cry echoed through the wind as she struggled to fly, facing the wind and pouring the contents into her mouth.

Jieluo chuckled softly, tilting her head slightly as she whispered, "What do you mean?... A blind date?"

"Blind dates...?" Lucy exclaimed in surprise, "You like blind dates!?"

"Things you like..." Yura said, "Idiot~" What does that mean? Are you insulting me?

I didn't do anything to you...

Lucy looked aggrieved and remained silent for a moment. Then, she mustered her courage and said, "Um... I like food, chunks of meat! Big chunks of meat!"

"Do you like eating people?" Jieluo nodded and said, "I understand~" bang bang dong!

Lucy's heart skipped a beat, her lips twitched, and she quickly said, "Eh!? Eh! That's right! I like it!"

"By the way, you're a monster, right..." Yura smiled faintly.

"Ah! That's right!" Lucy nodded vigorously, and hurriedly said, "Um! Do you like rainy days? I love rainy days the most! Hearing the rain calms me down and makes me forget my troubles. You have troubles too, right?"

From a general perspective, rain means being unable to go out, so people with rainy weather are usually introverted, not good at socializing, and lack a sense of security.

"I like bleeding."

Bleeding?

Lucy's mind was still racing.

Jie Luo smiled faintly, "Whenever warm blood splatters on my face, I feel a strange sense of relaxation, so I want to make the sky rain blood."

For Jieluo, this meant the end of the fighting, the relaxation of his tense nerves, and that he had survived—something to celebrate.

Lucy's face was stiff, but her dark complexion was quite cute.

"You know how it feels, right?"

Terrifying! Terrifying! Terrifying!

"I understand! I understand—!" Lucy nodded vigorously, her face contorted in a grimace, but being both clueless and playful, she said, "What about that annoying thing?"

"Little devil~" Jie Luo smiled faintly.

"Huh, that's it?" Lucy turned to look at Jieluo and asked, "Aren't you going to talk about it anymore?"

"Little devil~" Jie Luo smiled faintly.

Realizing what Jieluo had said, Lucy, her face contorted, opened her mouth and asked weakly, "Why?"

"You talk too much, your chatter is so annoying," Jieluo said.

"Focus on pulling your cart, you little devil~"

"I hate it so much..." Lucy whirled around, puffing out her cheeks, and pulled Yura through the air. Suddenly remembering something, Lucy yelled, "Lucy!!!"

This is the only thing her parents left her; she can't lose it.

As Jieluo walked along, he pondered which ninja village to join. He ruled out Kumogakure, as they were all musclemen who weren't attractive at all, and besides, the place they lived was too high up. It wasn't that he was afraid of heights, but he felt that being too high up would be too lonely. Jieluo preferred to be among the bustling people.

As for Sunagakure, it's too poor, so we won't consider it.

Iwagakure Village, although it lacks resources...

Jieluo looked down at the land below, which was gradually becoming desolate.

"In the end, Konoha occupies the best part of the ninja world..."

To establish Gensokyo, you need to claim a piece of land. What to do? Yura wants the best, but there's Konoha above it.

"I don't think the other places are too bad..." Lucy said, "Takigakure is pretty good..."

Speaking of which, I wonder what the scenery is like overseas and on the mainland of the ninja world.

Moreover, the Ninja World also contains the corpse of the Otsutsuki God, Otsutsuki Yame. This guy was the ultimate god evolved from the Otsutsuki clan. His true form has transcended the concepts of life and death, has left the current dimension, and is not in this universe.

So, dimensional travel?

want to!

It's something worth taking!

We must plan and strategize carefully; first, we need to obtain the entry ticket to the Otsutsuki clan.

Therefore, what Ban was waiting for, Jieluo was also waiting for.

Yura is that kind of monster; she will take away everything Yura wants.

"Little demon~" Jieluo exclaimed.

Lucy was taken aback and asked, "What?"

"Fly slower, someone is almost out of reach," Jieluo said.

Lucy slowed down her flight, and soon two figures slowly flew in from the horizon, one tall and one short. The shorter boy was even shorter than Jieluo. He had a stocky body, a big nose like garlic, and looked rather like a rock. His appearance was rather comical, exuding a simple and honest charm.

The two sides were suspended in the sky, about fifty meters apart.

Jieluo's gaze fell on the man whose body was wrapped in bandages.

Second Tsuchikage, none.

Not long ago, he fought with the Second Mizukage of Kirigakure, Hozuki Gengetsu. Hozuki Gengetsu exhausted his chakra and was severely injured, unable to attend the Five Kage Summit. Instead, he suffered burns all over his body. These extensive burns meant he was just one step away from dying.

About ten years from now, both of them will be dead.

The Second Tsuchikage, Mu, was a strategist known for his intrigue and politics. He was a similar type of ninja to Tobirama Senju, possessing the Kekkei Tota "Dust Release," which surpasses even Kekkei Genkai. He was one of the few ninjas who could fly.

The two sides stood facing each other, neither speaking, sizing each other up.

Jieluo stared at Wu with his scarlet eyes, while the little devil to the side was not worth Jieluo's attention.

In this atmosphere, the 14-year-old boy became a little impatient and said, "Teacher! Didn't you say there were two people? There's just this one blond guy who looks really stupid!"

"Huh!?" Lucy's eyes widened as she glared at the brat, her smile both bright and sinister. She said in a chilling tone, "You little rascal! Do you want to die?"

"Damn it!" The brat turned to look at Lucy, about to utter a harsh word, but for some reason, a sudden fear rose in his heart, and cold sweat began to trickle down his back.

Lucy unconsciously activated her ability again, which allows her to manipulate and influence the emotions of others.

Lucy was taken aback. Looking at Onoki's unusual state, her smile suddenly turned sinister.

You're scared!

Spending so much time with the great demon almost made me forget that I possessed this ability.

Then you're dead!

"I hate it so much..."

Upon hearing this, Onoki's heart pounded, and for some reason, a chill ran down his spine.

At that moment, a large hand descended, blocking the little devil's path, and said, "Onoki, look again carefully, there's one more person." A pair of eyes warily fell on Yura.

That blond hair was dangerous; the immense, gleaming chakra he sensed was terrifying. But what was even more dangerous was the girl in front of him. She gave him an even stranger feeling. If it weren't for the blond hair's enormous chakra, he wouldn't have noticed her under normal circumstances, even with all his senses activated.

Therefore, it is extremely dangerous!

Yura smiled faintly and said, "The ninja world is really small..."

"It's quite big," Wu replied.

Only then did Onoki notice Yura's presence. Cold sweat was already dripping from his forehead. He was no longer a simple 14-year-old brat, but a mature ninja.

"Your perception range is quite large," Jie Luo said with a slight smile.

Lucy was indeed too conspicuous.

This bag is so eye-catching!

"Thank you for the compliment. Your perception range is also quite impressive," Wu said in a deep voice.

If the other party hadn't deliberately slowed down, given their combined flying speed, they really wouldn't have been able to catch up.

Seeing the teacher's serious attitude, Onoki silently swallowed.
