Chapter 2: Powerful, no excuses required (there is a video Easter egg chapter at the end of this cha

In the distance, the sudden change in the situation also caused the scar-faced Sand Ninja to lose consciousness for a moment, but he quickly recovered from that scene.

"when?"

His expression changed, and he glanced at the corpse of his companion who was still arrogant and wanton a few seconds ago, but now suddenly had his head separated, and then glanced at the corpse of another companion who had died long ago.

That brat...

Have you been waiting for them here?

Think of yourself as the predator, the corpse of your companion as the bait, and the two of them as the prey?

But that idiot was a real chuunin, a ninja with the potential to become a jounin, not the kind of mass-produced cannon fodder.

At such a close distance, no matter how careless that idiot was, there was no way he wouldn't be able to hear the extra breathing or heartbeat!

Unless... the kid's breathing and heartbeat were very soft, consistent with the breathing and heartbeat of one of them.

Thinking of this, the expression of the scar-faced Sand Ninja suddenly turned ugly. He looked at the figure and said in a cold tone: "A person from Kirigakure?"

The ability shown by this kid reminded him of the "silent killing technique" of those bastards in Kirigakure Village.

But doesn’t Kirigakure have no intention of participating in the war?

"Um?"

The scar-faced sand ninja suddenly frowned and looked at the man's face for a moment. He felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and asked doubtfully, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"

Unfortunately, his doubts were not answered.

The man just turned his back to him and looked at the two little ones who were lost in thought.

This made the scar-faced sand ninja couldn't help but have an idea: it seemed that in that guy's eyes, these two brats deserved more attention than himself.

"Most people in this world are like fallen leaves, helplessly floating, rolling and trembling in the air, and finally languishing on the ground helplessly, becoming the nourishment for the next generation..."

The man's voice echoed in his ears, and Yahiko asked in a daze: "So, you mean... they turned the Rain Country into what it is now, but they couldn't help it, not because they wanted to?"

His doubts were not answered.

I just heard the man seem to smile slightly.

Then I felt the figure in front of me squat down, holding an umbrella and looking down at the two little ones lying on the ground.

Behind him was the blood-colored moonlight, which fell on his somewhat immature profile, but there was a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, creating a deep outline.

Only then did Xiaonan see his appearance clearly.

He looked about ten years old, and his appearance was the same as his voice. He looked like a very gentle person.

——If you ignore the sharp dagger in your hand that is still bleeding.

"Oh, sorry, were you scared?"

As if aware of Xiaonan's gaze, the boy blinked and flicked the short knife in his hand.

After a crescent moon-like drop of blood spattered out, he inserted the sword into the scabbard at his waist somewhat casually.

"My name is Kumokawa, Tsukimi Sato Kumokawa."

Looking at the two little ones in front of him, the young man named "Tsukimi Satounkawa" had a deep meaning in his eyes, and asked with a slight smile: "Can you tell me your names?"

"Tsukimi-sato" means "the place where the moon can be seen" in Japanese, and the literal translation means "no mountain".

It is precisely because of the "no mountain" that we can "see the moon".

Coupled with the name "Unchuan", it means "a vast river reflecting the clouds and moonlight".

Under the gentle gaze, Yahiko still showed a trace of hesitation, but Xiaonan subconsciously blurted out: "My, my name is Xiaonan."

"Xiao Nan..." Hearing this, Yun Chuan's mouth curved a little more. He stretched out his hand to rub the girl's slightly messy blue-purple hair. He tilted his head and said with a gentle smile, "You guys walked a long way, right?"

Feeling the warmth from the hand above her head, Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, then blushed and lowered her head and nodded gently.

"That's it." Yunchuan seemed to find the girl's reaction a bit interesting. He couldn't help but put down his hand, looked at the dumbfounded Yahiko aside, and chuckled, "They are all brave."

Buzz! Buzz!

The moment the words fell, several buzzing sounds suddenly sounded!

Yahiko felt a coldness between his brows, and his pupils reflected the several shurikens flying towards Kumokawa behind him. They were shrouded in the sky-covering coldness, and even his heart stagnated.

Suna Ninja chose what he thought was the best opportunity to break the fragile balance between him and Kumokawa.

"Body, behind..."

A muffled sound came from Yahiko's throat, but his hands and feet couldn't move one step ahead of the death intention.

But before the words came out of his mouth.

The short sword with a blade as cold as autumn water was unsheathed and drew several arcs of light in the air.

Flash Scabbard·Eight o'clock rush!

Ding ding! Ding! !

The dagger swept through the rain and made a crisp buzz, and several dazzling sparks exploded in front of Yahiko, bursting and splashing in the slightly dark alley.

The poison-soaked shuriken that was shot silently was cut down, and stone chips were splashed on the ground behind Yahiko and at his feet. It wiped his forehead and took away a drop of cold sweat, and some stone chips hit his cheeks. Hot and painful.

"..."

Suddenly coming back to his senses, the sound of the trembling sword echoed clearly in Yahiko's ears.

Seeing the dagger lying in front of him clearly, his dilated pupils gradually widened.

Yunchuan in front of him just held out the short knife in his hand, interrupting the ending of his brain-shattering rainy night.

"You just said you couldn't help yourself?"

Kumokawa took back the dagger and held it in his hand, as if muttering to himself, or answering Yahiko's question just now: "People who are deceived are not just because they are stupid, but also because they are willing to believe it."

"Rather than saying it's something you can't help yourself, it's better to say it's your own fault."

"What I want to express is that for many things, the determining factor is not the thing itself, but something other than the thing."

For some reason, Xiaonan heard some emotional resonance in his tone.

"..." Yahiko shook his head in a daze, "I... don't understand."

Are these words too early for a kid?

Even if he is a brat with leadership potential.

"Then just remember something."

Yun Chuan sighed and said softly: "Being strong doesn't need an excuse. Being weak is the best reason."

"When you are weak, even living in humble circumstances is a mistake."

In this world, weakness is the original sin.

Kaka! Click!

In the distance, a figure appeared beside the scar-faced sand ninja. The figure was covered in black robes and could not see its face.

"Kid."

His ten fingers were slightly bent, and the threads of condensed chakra extended out, connecting the black-robed puppet. The veins on his forehead were beating wildly, and he stared at the figure in the alley, and said coldly, word by word: "I'm asking Can’t you hear me?”

The cold tone with murderous intent made Xiaonan and the others shiver, especially after seeing the puppet, a sense of fear surged in their hearts.

Sunagakure Village is considered to be the weakest in terms of overall strength among the major countries participating in this war.

However, the "Puppet Organization Force" established by Sunagakure caused people in other villages to suffer a lot.

Puppet masters are a group of sinister guys who are good at using poisons and hidden weapons. They will install strange and countless hidden weapons inside the puppets, and they will also refine poison on the hidden weapons.

The civilians of the Kingdom of Rain affected by the Puppet Master will die in extremely miserable conditions, and will be so rotten that even wild dogs will avoid them.

"Wow, does that sound scary?"

Yun Chuan raised his eyebrows, and with a thought, a panel appeared in his mind.

The panel was empty, with only a character card glowing with white light.

[Villain Template System]

[Subtemplate (1/4)]

[Name: Nanaya Shiki [Murderer]]

[World: Xingyue Universe]

[Quality: White]

[Advanced: Can be advanced - Shiki Tono [Devil Eye of Direct Death] (Gold)]

[Ability: ①Aura Concealment: Possessing powerful concealment ability, he can hide his own aura, just like a cold-blooded poisonous snake spying on his prey in the dark gaps.

②Pure Eye: Low-level magic eye, with extraordinary insight and dynamic vision. It can easily distinguish between humans and outsiders, as well as the moment when some abilities are activated. It can react at a speed that is several times higher than ordinary people and deviates from common sense.

③Seven Nights Assassination Technique: A physical technique trained to break through the limits of human beings. It has a way of walking that is deviant from common sense, a speed beyond human beings, and spider-like footwork. It is characterized by the rapidity of movements and the unexpected, strange and gorgeous moves. 】

④The Demon Eye of Direct Death (unlocked): All things come from the source, and if there is birth, there must be an end. The end of things is called "death". This is a pair of magic eyes that connects to the source and can see the "death" of things. 】

[Required conditions for advancement: ① 0/100000 mission points; ② Establish contact with the source and understand "death" (achieved)]

[Points held: 210]

This was what Kumikawa relied on to kill the two sand ninjas silently, and it was also how he relied on it to quickly gain a foothold in this dangerous and unfamiliar world.

The [Villain Template System] was obtained after he came to this world a few months ago. After defeating or killing a character with certain characteristics, there is a chance to obtain a [Template] with similar characteristics.

As the name suggests, the [templates] obtained are all "villain" templates, and "villains" in all worlds are possible.

If you're lucky, it's normal to get a "explosion star" villain template. If you're not lucky, you might get a yellow hair from a certain series...

[Nanaye Shiki [Murderer]] is the template he opened from the "Newbie Gift Pack".

The dark environment, which is difficult for ordinary people, is the perfect hunting ground for Yunchuan, who possesses the aura masking and seven-night assassination skills.

With adequate preparation, some Chuunin can be easily killed.

However, he has not broken away from the category of "human". He cannot draw thunder, spit fire, spit water, or wave a sword light casually.

Unless he can meet the advanced conditions of this template...

Looking at the advanced conditions required for the [Nanaye Shiki] template, Yunchuan couldn't help but feel a little speechless again about the template he received from the "Novice Gift Pack".

Connecting with the source and understanding the nature of "death" are undoubtedly the most difficult conditions to meet.

"For me, who has died once, it makes sense to open this template, but I didn't expect that the most difficult condition was easily achieved, but I was stuck at the level of advanced points..."

A pair of "Death-like Demonic Eyes" pushed the upper limit of this template to an unimaginable level.

He directly jumped over gray, green, blue, and purple, and advanced from the whiteboard to gold, which is second only to red quality. The points required are obviously not something he can easily meet now.

If you want to approach and deal with the puppets covered in poison and hidden weapons from the front, [Nanaye Shiki [Murderer]] who has not yet advanced is not qualified.

After all, it's easy to dodge open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. During the battle with the puppet master, you never know whether the simple puppet will suddenly have an extra arm and scratch you lightly.

As long as there is an oversight, just a small scratch, the specially prepared poison will spread from the skin wound and penetrate into the flesh, and the resistance will be lost in an instant.

This is why Sunagakure Puppet Master gives many people a headache.

"However, my luck has always been good."

Kumokawa looked at the gray card exploded by killing the yellow-haired Sand Ninja, and a strange color gradually appeared in his eyes.

Killing a ninja who is good at throwing ninja tools, it makes sense to reveal this card.

So……

"If you kill a puppet master, what will happen?"

Thinking of this, Yun Chuan's eyelids slightly curved, showing a hint of interest.

This kind of surprise of opening a blind box seems to make people like it a little bit.

"Hide."

Realizing that the hem of his clothes was being pulled, Yun Chuan gently stroked the girl's head, raised his eyes to look at the two figures in the rain curtain, and said jokingly: "The rain is getting heavier and heavier, I have to go home quickly. Otherwise, someone will be worried.”

Xiaonan's dry hair was not easy to touch.

Yunchuan's hands were not as tender as his age. Instead, they were covered with calluses and looked a bit rough.

But this brought the pale-faced Xiaonan back to her senses.

"Yahiko, let's go quickly, don't stand there!" Xiaonan shuddered and quickly pulled Yahiko, who was still in a daze, and half-tugged and half-tugged him to hide behind the trash can.

Yahiko is usually very clever, what happened today?

Is it because of what that boy said?

"Wait, wait, he's alone..." Yahiko's voice was a little hasty, but when he looked up in panic, the figure in front of him had disappeared.

Moreover, at some point, the ninja tool bag in his hand disappeared, replaced by a black umbrella.

Yunchuan's figure was like a crossbow. From swinging the sword to starting, almost instantly, without any warning, it was so fast that it was difficult to react.

"snort!"

Looking at the figure that was rushing toward him, and sensing the opponent's intention to get closer, a sneer appeared on the scar-faced sand ninja's lips.

Click click click!

He flexed and stretched his fingers slightly, and the puppet shrouded in black robes beside him moved slightly. There was a sound of the mechanism being triggered, and several purple projectiles were suddenly fired at the incoming figure.

Poison Secret Technique·Poison Smoke Bomb!

boom!

In an instant, a purple demonic poisonous mist exploded, sweeping between the two of them and blocking Yunchuan's sight.

Not only that, after the puppet lifted up and swung the black robe, countless "needles" shot out with murderous intent, like a continuous rainstorm that shot wildly.

Poison Secret Technique·Qianbon Rain.

Hidden weapons soaked in poison sealed him on all sides.

Kumokawa looked at this scene with a smile on his face, and took out his left hand from the ninja bag on his waist.

The next moment, his swift attack did not stop at all, and the purple poisonous mist swallowed his figure.

"Seeking death!" The scar-faced sand ninja narrowed his eyes, his expression was cold, but he did not relax at all.

If that kid stood there honestly, with the reaction speed he showed just now, even if he couldn't care about the two people behind him, he might still be able to save his life.

But he chose the stupidest way.

If you actively rush into the poisonous fog that makes you unable to see anything, you will never be able to emerge from it intact.

As long as you are poisoned by Chiyo-sama, you will soon lose your ability to resist.

But, the next moment.

The entire poisonous fog was torn apart by a "force", and a figure jumped out of the fog that was divided into two.

That figure was not at all as embarrassed as the scar-faced sand ninja expected.

Perhaps because the speed was too fast, the mist rose from Yunchuan, with the half-moon frost glow behind him, lingering around him, making his body even a little transparent.

It was unclear whether the expression on his face was a smile or a plain expression. All one could see was the moon behind him and a pair of blue eyes.

"...the art of instantaneous body?"

The scar-faced sand ninja was in a daze for a moment, unable to determine whether it was a real or false illusion. Why didn't it even scratch the corner of his clothes?

Did you use the "blinking technique" to avoid it?

But when he looked at the gradually dispersing poisonous mist, he retracted his guess in an instant.

Because at Yun Chuan's feet, thousands of books soaked in poison and not soaked in poison were scattered in a messy manner, either incomplete or broken.

"Please don't get me wrong."

Under the night sky, Yunchuan turned his palm slightly, and the sharp senbon between his fingers glowed with cold light. He looked down at the scar-faced Sand Ninja below, and chuckled: "I am not what you call a ninja."

What he used was the "Pure Eye", the "Seven Nights Assassination Technique, Flash Scabbard, One Mile and Four Tsuji", and...

Knock knock…

In the distance, Kumokawa raised his index and middle fingers together, met the gaze of the scar-faced Sand Ninja, and lightly tapped his forehead.

As if to say...

Next time, aim here.
