Chapter 7: The Arrival of Jixian

The next morning, after having breakfast with Genji, Seiji dressed and prepared to go to the lake for today's training.

Outside the village, a monk wearing an elegant and slim white long-sleeved tailcoat and loose black pants was walking slowly in the distance. It was Jigen.

"Finally found you!" came a murmur.

Jixian identified the breath and slowly walked towards Qingsi's house.

The remote fishing village was already sparsely populated, with almost no outsiders coming, not to mention that Jigen was walking straight towards Seiji's house, which aroused the vigilance of the two senior ninjas.

The two of them arrived in an instant and blocked Jigen's way. "Hey, who are you?" the senior ninja named Kaguya Sugito asked loudly.

"Heh!" Jigen looked at the two with disdain and expressionless expression, "The Ninja from Kirigakure, this aura, is it the descendant family of Kaguya?"

"Damn it, stop talking to yourself there! Who are you and what is your purpose here?" Another senior ninja named Kaguya Nobuya looked at Jigen's arrogant look and couldn't help but get angry.

When the two saw that Cixian didn't respond, they knew that the person might have ill intentions. They looked at each other and decided to take action first.

Sugito stomped his right foot hard on the ground and rushed towards Jigen at an extremely fast speed. Chakra flowed out of his body, wrapped in his right fist, and hit Jigen hard. At the same time, Shinya also began to quickly form hand seals in the back, preparing to use ninjutsu to attack.

Cixian calmly dodged Shanren's heavy punch, raised his leg sideways, and kicked Shanren in the abdomen.

"So fast!" Shanren was kicked before he could react, and his body fell to the side uncontrollably.

Jixian stretched out his right hand and aimed at the Shanren who was kicked away. Several black sticks appeared instantly and pierced into various parts of Shanren's body.

"Ah!" Shan Ren couldn't help but scream out in pain, "The chakra is being sucked away continuously."

At the same time, Nobuya's ninjutsu was ready, "Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!" The surging water gathered in the air to form the shape of a dragon, rushing towards Jigen quickly.

"Then I'll play with you for a while." Cixian said lightly, then slightly turned sideways to avoid the attacking water dragon.

"Stop looking down on me!" Xinye said angrily.

Then he quickly rushed towards Jigen and threw a punch, which was easily blocked by Jigen. After failing to make a move, Shinya immediately jumped into the air with both feet and quickly formed seals with both hands, "Water Style: Water Fang Bullet!"

The water condensed and swirled, and then a large number of water guns were quickly fired from it towards Jigen.

At the same time, Shinya adjusted his body in the air and rushed towards Jigen again from top to bottom. His hands kept making hand seals, and a rotating water knife appeared in Shinya's hands.

"Water Release·Water Fang Blade!"

Jigen dodged the water gun and grabbed Nobuya's hand that was condensing the water sword. Before Nobuya could react, the water sword dissipated.

"Is this the only ability of the Kirigakure ninja?" Jigen mocked calmly.

"Damn it!" Shinya shouted angrily and attacked Jigen again. His anger had almost made him lose his mind and he could only fight relying on the strong physical instincts of the Hyuga clan.

"Don't make me waste my time. My purpose has nothing to do with you." Jigen said in a calm tone while dodging all of Nobuya's attacks with ease.

After saying that, he pointed his right hand towards Shinya again, and the invisible chakra wave pushed Shinya away fiercely. Several black sticks instantly nailed Shinya to the ground.

"Boring!" Cixian sighed, ignored the two of them, and walked straight towards the target direction.

The sounds of the battle and the fluctuations of chakra and ninjutsu were already sensed by Seiji and his son. Genji said to Seiji with a serious expression, "It looks like they are coming for our house. I will cover you, you go first!"

However, before Qingsi walked out of the yard, the sounds of fighting outside had subsided.

"It seems that today's level will be difficult. I was able to eliminate two jonin of the Hyuga clan in a short time. Although they were ordinary jonin who had not awakened their bloodline, I couldn't do it so quickly before!" Genji thought with a grim expression.

"For the sake of my son, I have to fight hard today." Genji made up his mind secretly.

Cixian walked slowly, his confidence in his own strength making him not anxious at all.

When he came in front of Qingsi, a hint of excitement finally appeared on his expressionless face all day.

"Come on, mortal, become one with God!" Jigen shouted at Qingsi in a fanatical tone.

Looking at Jigen who was approaching, Qingsi's face looked extremely ugly.

He recognized the monk-looking man in front of him, Isshiki Otsutsuki's puppet, Jigen who served as the leader of the Kara organization in Unburnt.

"Although there are still decades before the Unflammable Legend, and Otsutsuki Isshiki's injuries will only be more serious, he is a real Otsutsuki after all! This is truly a devastating start!" Seiji, who had just awakened his past life memories, lamented in his heart.

Having seen the clips of Kawaki and Otsutsuki Isshiki, Seiji felt Jigen's undisguised malice towards him and knew clearly what Otsutsuki Isshiki wanted to do.

Kiyoshi, who had never come into contact with other ninjas, was not clear about the ninja's fighting style, but as for Jigen, who had been confirmed to be an enemy, Kiyoshi went for Jigen's vital points as soon as he made his first move.

The chakra in the body suddenly erupted, and the bones in the body quickly grew out of the body, condensing into a huge white bone drill shaped like a flower on the entire right arm.

"Corpse Bone Vein·Dance of the Iron Wire Flower! Flower!" The huge bone drill attacked Yishiki.

As a puppet of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, Jigen also had the Ōtsutsuki clan's condescending attitude towards ordinary people. In addition, Seiji was just a young boy, and most of Isshiki's consciousness was still asleep. Jigen was careless and was hit hard by the Maidenhair Flower.

Although Jigen's physical strength had become very high after thousands of years of training, he still suffered minor injuries when he encountered the Shikotsuki that was strengthened by chakra, which could be called the toughest thing in the ninja world. He was also knocked back several steps by this attack.

"Hey!" Cixian got up from the ground, "I underestimated you, an ant, you can actually hurt me!"

"Kiyoshi, step back! This is not an enemy you can deal with. I will stop him, you go away!" Genji stood between Kiyoshi and Jigen and shouted to Kiyoshi.

"Another one coming to die?" Cixian remained calm.

Genji raised his arms horizontally, with his ten fingers pointing towards Jigen.

"Corpse Bone Vein·Ten-finger piercing bullet!"

Ten white bone bullets flew out of his hand quickly and flew towards Jixian. Jixian did not dodge, but opened the five fingers of his right hand, and a long black stick appeared. Jixian held the black stick in his right hand and swept it across the bone bullets. The chakra storm he created perfectly defended against the bone bullets that were shot at high speed.

"So strong, ready to fight to the death!" Genji thought to himself, slowly forming seals with his hands and shouting at the same time.

"Go quickly!"

"Yes, take care, father!" Qingsi looked at Genji, his only father in two lives, with tears in his eyes. He knew that his father was going to use forbidden techniques.

"Corpse Vein·Burning Blood Technique!" After completing the 20 seals, Genji's solemn voice came out word by word.
