Naruto Reborn: The Rise of the Tsar

Chapter 147 Shadow Kill
"The number of people signing up this year seems to be much less than in previous sessions."

The voice of a handsome man sounded, and he saw that the other person had a handsome face and a graceful demeanor. He was actually the "faithful and tolerant" Tetsu Akima who had used the back door for Fuchuan before.

"Maybe it's because of the war."

At this time, a man who was eight feet tall, with dark exposed skin and a body like an iron tower replied, "After all, after the war started, Sunagakure Village asked for more subsidies, and the people of the Wind City had to pay from their pockets. With more money, I don’t know how many people are forced to live.”

Seeing the iron tower-like 'Palm Punishment Ninja' in front of him, his words seemed to indicate something. The middle-aged man with a mustache snorted coldly, "Why, are you dissatisfied with the taxes set by the daimyo?"

"I never said that." The iron-tower-like man looked full of disdain. "Besides, when you Daiba collected taxes, when did you strictly follow the tax rate set by the daimyo?"

"After all, the situation inside and outside the city is different. 'Sigong Ren' has insufficient men, so omissions and losses are inevitable." Seeing the conflict between the two deepening, the handsome man began to become careless.

"How many people do you think can reach the finish line this time?"

".I wish it would be better if more people died." A fierce light shone in the eyes of the middle-aged man with a mustache. "After all, if one more person passes the test, there will be an extra reward."

"Boring." The iron-tower-like man said nothing, stood up and left.

'Persistence of Faith and Forbearance' Qiu Jian Zhe was looking in one direction with bright eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Fuchuan frowned and looked at the dark crowd in front of him.

Looking around, I found that many masters of chakra condensation were waiting silently.

The distance of twenty kilometers is not short, and under the scorching sun, walking a little later will not have much impact. Instead, you can silently observe the people in front of you behind you, and choose to catch up or take a detour, and you will have the initiative.

These guys who stay and wait are probably the real opponents in this Guardian Ninja selection.

"The key to this first selection is how to keep up with the group, not to be left alone, and not to become the focus of everyone's attention. It shouldn't be too difficult to complete the task on time with your ability."

Nishino's words still ring in his ears.

Fuchuan was just thinking about how to make it all the way to the finish line. Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly fell from before his eyes.

It was actually a huge paper crane with a wingspan of more than three meters!
Fuchuan was stunned, Xiaonan puffed out his chest proudly, and the expression on his face seemed to mean 'please praise me'.

This thing looks like it should be able to fly, but when did Xiaonan have this ability?
"Since the last time I was irradiated by the stone on your chest, the chakra in your body seems to have become different. This technique was successfully developed just a few days ago."

Looking at Fuchuan's slightly surprised eyes, Xiaonan continued to smile and said, "Although this is the first time to carry someone else besides me, I feel that the two of us can sustain it for more than half a day."

Is it the chakra change caused by the broken jade?

But at this moment, there is no doubt that passing the first level.

Immediately, Fuchuan no longer hesitated, and in full view of everyone, he and Xiaonan sat on the huge paper crane, and instantly flew into the air driven by chakra!

The surrounding ninjas participating in the selection were stunned.

"This ninjutsu that can fly... can it still be like this?"

"Hmph! How can they succeed so easily!"

"Brothers, shoot the guy off the top for me!"

Swish swish. The sound of breaking through the air sounded frequently.When people around them saw Konan and Fuchuan riding the wind, they felt jealous and started throwing kunai at the paper crane they were riding on.

Seeing this, Xiaonan controlled the paper crane to dodge left and right, staggering and looking like it was about to fall.

More and more people looked up and noticed something unusual in the sky, so the number of kunai shot into the sky began to increase.

Nishino watched helplessly as Fukawa and Xiaonan became the focus of the audience, and the corners of his eyes twitched sharply.

"Is this in compliance with the rules when flying?" The handsome man on the high platform seemed to have a little doubt on his face.

"It's within the rules." The middle-aged man with a mustache looked at the two people flying in the sky with interest. "In the last year, there were people who tried to use flying psychic beasts to fly directly to the finish line."

"Did you make it?"

"The man was quickly torn to pieces by the overwhelming ninjutsu and hidden weapons." Mustache smacked his lips, as if he couldn't bear it, "There was no bones left, it was a tragedy. Since then, basically no one dared to use this One move."

"It turned out to be so"

Facing the overwhelming hidden weapons, Xiao Nan drove the paper crane to climb upwards, gradually getting higher and higher, and finally shrank into a small black dot in the eyes of people on the ground.

At this distance, most hidden weapons and ninjutsu are out of reach. Even if there are some special long-distance attack ninjutsu, Fukawa can use his knowledge to "briefly foresee the future" to avoid them in advance.

"It's really amazing." The middle-aged man with a mustache praised in admiration. "It takes a huge amount of chakra to fly to such a high place. With such strength, it is indisputable to pass the first level in this way!"

The handsome man was silent at this moment. According to the previous intelligence, the ability of the thousand paper cranes just now was probably that of the female ninja next to the 'God of Death'.

Do everyone around you have such strong fighting power?

Suddenly, the Fuchuan warning signal sounded.

A sharp blade suddenly appeared from the shadow behind Xiaonan and stabbed straight towards Fuchuan's chest.

The distance was extremely short, and the attack was extremely cruel and decisive. Fuchuan didn't even react for a moment.

With a puff, the sharp blade pierced straight into the chest!
Konan was startled, and instantly realized the attack. He instantly recovered a large amount of chakra, and at the same time, the paper crane began to shake violently and fall downwards.

The huge sound of wind in the sky and the control of paper cranes took up most of her chakra, so that she was completely unaware of the sneak attack behind her.

Now that he had reacted and was about to fight back, a slightly stooped old man's figure slowly emerged from the shadow, and a hoarse voice slowly sounded.

"This 'Desert God of Death' is nothing more than that. The girl is actually pretty strong. Why don't you follow me from now on? I can spare your life now!"

His goal has been achieved, and there is no need to hide it anymore.

But this little girl was not only able to control the Thousand Paper Cranes hundreds of meters in the air, she was also able to detect her own 'Shadow Killing Technique' so quickly.

It seems that we have found a good seed.

"Hiding in the shadows from the beginning, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate me?" Fuchuan's voice sounded.

Oops!Could it be a shadow clone?
The old man was startled and suddenly drew the long blade. However, there was no scene of the clone being shattered as he had imagined.

I saw a ferocious wound on Fuchuan's chest. But what was surprising was that no trace of blood flowed out. Instead, fine sand slowly flowed out and did not disperse, but just surrounded the owner.
