Chapter 37 1

"Madara Uchiha has left Konoha," Yura said.

Upon hearing this, Wu had no choice but to interrupt, saying, "Sir, we know that."

No sooner had the master and disciple left than Madara Uchiha left Konoha.

This information is worthless.

With Madara around, the danger level in Konoha has been greatly reduced, which is welcome news. Let the Uchiha and Senju continue their dogfighting.

"Don't worry, nothing," Jieluo said.

"Madara Uchiha is searching the entire ninja world for the Nine-Tails, and he'll most likely run into Hashirama Senju, who's capturing the Tailed Beasts. Guess what will happen?"

Beneath the bandages, a slight smile played at the corners of his lips; was there even a need to guess?

"Good intelligence."

"If..." Jie Luo held up a finger and said, "the two didn't collide, and the Uchiha successfully captured the Nine-Tails, what do you think he would do next?"

His pupils contracted.

"Attack Konoha..." Wu said in a deep voice.

"What attack on Konoha?" Jieluo said, "That's called an attack on Hashirama Senju. Everyone knows that the Senju and Uchiha have been at odds since the Warring States period."

"Yes!" Wu nodded in agreement.

"They will inevitably fight over their ideals," Gyro said.

"The price might be their lives..."

"To die together?" Wu frowned and said, "Is that even possible?"

You damned coward, what right do you have to ask if it's possible?

"It's just a reasonable assumption..." Jieluo said.

"This is unreasonable." No one shook their head.

People who are too wise will not listen to advice and will only trust their own judgment.

"No matter what, they are bound to fight, and it will be soon." Jie Luo sat in mid-air with his legs crossed, his hand supporting his chin, and laughed: "For the ninja world, the Great Shinobi World War of the Five Great Villages may come sooner than you expect. Senju Hashirama will most likely not live to see the end of his life. Even if he survives by chance, facing Uchiha Madara who is fighting to the death, he will only be a dying man after the war."

No pupil constriction.

Makes sense!

"Thank you very much for the information, sir." Wu said, "I know what to do."

"Very good." Jieluo clapped his hands.

"Your Excellency harbors considerable hostility towards Konoha," Wu said.

"We must avenge the stab by the God of Ninjas eventually." Jie Luo smiled slightly. This was a perfectly legitimate reason, and no one would doubt it.

"I will remember this friendship today," Wu said.

"Let's go, little demon," Jieluo said, "Turn around."

Lucy opened her mouth, flapped her wings, and turned to fly back the way she came.

The master and apprentice hovered in the air, watching the two disappear into the distance.

"Teacher..." Onoki said, "Was that person very strong?"

"Very strong." Wu Bu touched his neck, where the faint chill of death still lingered, sending shivers down his spine. Before he could react, a knife was already at his neck. There was no need to explain this to his disciples; they couldn't even sense it. Was it an invisible, intangible sword?

As for swords, his splitting technique could handle them, but the problem was that he needed to anticipate the sword's attack. Otherwise, he could easily be caught off guard and capsize. He had to be extremely vigilant when facing this woman, or his life or death would be decided in an instant.

"As expected of a ninja who can fight the God of Ninjas," Wu said.

Onoki said in a deep voice, "I still don't know her name..."

"The name of this kind of person will eventually resound throughout the ninja world; everyone will know about him," Wu said.

"Onoki."

"Teacher?" Onoki looked up at Mu.

"This girl doesn't look very old. This is what people call a genius. You need to keep working hard. But at this level, it's far from enough to protect the village," Wu said.

"What?! She might already be an old woman!!! She's definitely older than me! She's already calling me a brat!" Onoki shouted, his defenses broken.

"Does her face look like an old woman's?" Wu said seriously, "Onoki, don't think you can be complacent just because you've mastered Dust Release. This ninja world has never lacked geniuses. You're not good enough yet. I'll only acknowledge your strength when you can master the Split Technique and Dustless Confusion."

"Then teach me!" Onoki suddenly shouted even louder, "Are you hiding your skills because you're afraid I'll learn them too soon!? Teacher!!!"

He touched his nose in frustration.

"And that thing! She's definitely an old woman! Absolutely!" Onoki exclaimed.

"She might even know some kind of magic that keeps her young forever!!! Teacher! Even if she's two years older than me! You don't believe there's a sixteen-year-old ninja who can fight the God of Shinobi, do you!? That's absolutely impossible! That wouldn't be a genius! That would be a monster!"

From a rational perspective, that's true.

But in the ninja world, ninjas are beings who break the rules.

Just like before, I thought it was impossible for there to be ninjas as extraordinary as Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha in this world.

In comparison, his reputation as a genius seemed rather ridiculous.

"Oh, Onoki..." he said without a sigh, "The fragrance of a young girl and the aroma of a mature woman are different sensations..."

After a long silence from Onoki, Wu lowered his head and looked at Onoki.

Onoki's gaze was strange, a mixture of disdain and complex as he looked at Mu, a look that defied easy explanation.

You really are that kind of teacher! You lewd old man!

You're probably using your invincible perception ability to spy on women everywhere!

"Ahem." After a few dry coughs, Wu said, "Anyway, that's it. I'll have to train you properly from now on. The First Shinobi World War is coming soon, and you need to feel a sense of urgency. You'll be fighting against ninjas from other villages, so don't tarnish my reputation."

"Hmph..." Onoki crossed his arms and said, "Of course."

After a fruitless trip to the Land of Earth, Yura and Lucy returned to the Land of Waterfall and then passed through the Land of Fire.

As long as she doesn't get close to Konoha's territory or get too close to Tobirama Senju's senses, Yura can freely roam the entire Land of Fire; that's the advantage of flying.

"Great monster..." Lucy asked, "Where are we going?"

Tilting his head and thinking for a moment, Jieluo said, "Would you like to see whales?"

"Whale?" Lucy pursed her lips.

"You've never seen the ocean, have you?" Jieluo said.

"I've seen it before," Lucy said.

"Everyone used to live by the sea."

The land of water is located by the sea.

"What about the whale?" Jieluo asked.

"I've seen them," Lucy said with little interest.

"I've also seen even bigger fish, and sometimes I can even see super-sized turtles."

"I've never seen one before..." Jieluo said, "A whale."

The only remaining option is Kirigakure. Coincidentally, there aren't many powerful sensory ninjas there, making it difficult to detect Lucy's identity. Ordinary sensory ninjas would only perceive that she has a huge amount of chakra. The place, which is full of water, is very similar to the Land of Waterfalls, which is full of waterfalls.

As far as the environment is concerned, there is nothing to complain about in Jieluo, and it should be very convenient to eat lobster.
