Konoha's task master

Chapter 39 Mountain Bandits

In the forest, Yakumo and Aoyama Reiko stopped at the same time. Yakumo looked around with some vigilance. He felt hostility, although it was not pure, it was numerous.

The surrounding bushes swayed, and a group of strong men holding long knives emerged from them. Most of them wore coarse shorts and the long knives in their hands were full of gaps.

His eyes were fierce, but the amount of chakra in his body was so pitiful that he could not be a ninja, which meant that these people posed no threat to the two of them.

"Robbery?" Yakumo drew out his ninja sword and asked tentatively.

"Little brother, take the road...that's right, robbery!"

The leading middle-aged man tapped his shoulder with the back of his knife, a ferocious smile on his face.

"Stealing money...or life?" Yakumo continued to ask.

"Money...not life."

"Well, in that case I will hold back."

Yakumo was stretching his muscles and was about to take some exercise. It would be better for him to take on the dirty work.

Whoa... Senbon wrapped in electric light shot out from Reiko Aoyama's hand, leaving a thin purple line in the air. Yakumo heard the low roar of thunder-attribute chakra exploding, like a poisonous snake spitting a message.

Under the disbelieving gaze of the leading robber, a ball of bright white chakra hit his head.

Qianben penetrated into the skull without any hindrance, leaving only bloody dots on his forehead, and the leading robber fell backwards.

Blood spattered from the back of the head...

"That woman is a ninja, run!" Someone suddenly shouted, and the robbers instantly dispersed and ran in different directions.

Reiko Aoyama created two shadow clones with her seal, and screamed one after another, with blood splashing in the distance. It was simply a massacre.

Lives were taken away easily. At this moment, Reiko Aoyama simply refreshed Yakumo's understanding.

The image of the cold-faced and warm-hearted doctor sister is shattered...

Originally, Yakumo just wanted to knock down these people and steal their money, which could be regarded as treating them in their own way. He never expected that Aoyama Reiko's murderous intention would be so serious.

"Why...do you think I'm too harsh?" Aoyama Reiko noticed the change in Yakumo's mood and asked.

"Sister Aoyama, you made the right judgment...it's just hard for me to accept it for the moment." Yakumo responded.

When they choose to become bandits to survive through robbery, they should be prepared to be killed at any time...

Yakumo gradually convinced himself that this was a world where life was at stake, and he had to accept it and adapt...!

"To us, money is nothing but personal belongings, so it's okay to give it to them, but if passers-by need that money to save their lives, they will die for it... They will kill without hesitation, so I am killing evil by killing them."

"We must eradicate all evil." Yakumo was completely relieved.

"Yes, my shadow clone will find their lair and eradicate them." Reiko Aoyama turned around and continued on her way.

"You are very smart...better than me back then. I had a big fight with the teacher until the teacher took me to see their sins with my own eyes."

Aoyama Reiko turned around and continued on her way, and Yakumo quickly followed. Although she did not tell Yakumo what kind of sin she had witnessed, it was definitely not a pleasant memory.

In the afternoon, the two of them gradually increased their speed, and finally arrived at Jihuo City around four o'clock. The several-meter-high city wall was covered with traces of chiseling with knives and axes over the years. The city gate was about four meters wide and made of thick wooden boards.

It is wrapped in steel plates and looks very strong.

The streets in the city are full of people, and all kinds of shops are full of human atmosphere.

In the hotel, Reiko Aoyama spent money to open two guest rooms and asked the store owner to prepare dry food for tomorrow and meals for the evening.

"Your chakra attributes are earth and water, right?"

The two of them sat at the clean wooden table, waiting for the hotel kitchen to prepare dinner.

"That's right..." Yakumo replied after taking two large sips of the free boiled water on the table. Because he was in such a hurry to go out, the water he drank today mainly came from the Four Stars Lianzhu.

"A natural-born medical ninja, but these two attributes are recognized as weak in combat ability. Do you plan to practice an additional chakra property change in the future?"

"I plan to become a ninja and practice the transformation of thunder and wind attributes." Yakumo answered truthfully.

"Two attributes..."

"I practiced the transformation of Thunder Chakra properties after becoming a Jonin...I can give you my training experience."

Aoyama Reiko handed the prepared scroll from the ninja tool bag to Yakumo and gave instructions.

"It's enough to understand it now. It won't be too late to practice it when your chakra reaches the level of a jounin."

"Thank you...Sister Qingshan."

It was precisely because she had prepared the scroll that she mentioned the chakra attribute. Reiko Aoyama, who seemed a little cold, actually regarded Yakumo as her disciple in her heart.

The journey of this mission is just like what her teacher has led her through for many years, using experience to teach students and pass on knowledge along the way.

The hotel didn't keep the two of them waiting for too long. Curry chicken nuggets and seaweed rice balls were put on the table a dozen minutes later. After Aoyama Reiko calmly checked whether they were toxic, she indicated that Yakumo could eat them without any worries.

It was dark, and Yakumo sat on the desk in the guest room to complete today's tasks, recording his experiences, reading insights, and daily diary.

In one of the corners, Yakumo's shadow clone is studying the changes in the properties of thunder attribute chakra, and white mist is coming out from his body...

In another corner, another shadow clone of Yakumo was controlling his hair and fighting each other, practicing the ninja technique Jizo Needle in an orderly manner.

"Dong dong dong."

A bright knock on the door broke the tranquility of the night. Yakumo's body stretched out his hand to touch the ninja sword. The shadow clone that studied the changes in thunder chakra silently condensed four water balls, spinning around on his right wrist.

The black hair of another shadow clone extends infinitely, forming eight spear-like formations, like a spider waiting for hunting.

"Who is it?" Yakumo asked aloud. Before coming up, he had already agreed with the boss not to let the service staff disturb him at night.

"It's me... Reiko Aoyama."

"Touch." "Touch."

The two shadow clones disappeared one after another, and Yakumo stood up and opened the door for Reiko Aoyama.

"Sister Qingshan, why are you here?"

She was wearing a pair of light blue pajamas. Her snow-white skin was as smooth as silk. Perhaps because she had just taken a bath, she had a faint fragrance all over her body. Her long, slightly damp, dark hair fell naturally, and her plump figure seemed to be ready to come out.

"Originally I planned to sleep...but I remembered that I wanted to teach you the art of palm immortality, so I came here. I hope I didn't disturb you."

Reiko Aoyama's tone was as direct as ever, and the hem of her moving pajamas revealed her slender legs.

"Of course it's not an intrusion."

Yakumo came to the table with a smile and put away the half-written diary. It seemed that he was going to stay up all night again tonight.

"The palm ninjutsu is a ninjutsu that requires extremely high levels of medical ninjutsu. It requires near-perfect control over chakra..."
