Chapter 36

With a look of inexplicable disappointment, Jieluo sized up Wu.

I came to Iwagakure hoping to find a flying ninjutsu, but this Light-Heavy Rock Technique can make you fly, but it's too slow.

I was quite disappointed.

Lucy stared intently at Onoki. Noticing Lucy's gaze, Onoki's mental pressure intensified, and his breathing became rapid. As his emotions churned, a violent killing intent suddenly erupted in his heart, and his eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

"Lucy!" Jiro said.

Huh!?

Lucy was initially stunned and hadn't reacted yet. She stared at Onoki, then immediately turned to look at Yura.

So you can call me by my name.

Jielu waved his hand and said, "Get out of here, don't drive this brat crazy."

At this moment, Wucai noticed that Onoki's condition was not right. Startled, he stood in front of Onoki and looked at Lucy with a serious expression. A surge of chakra quietly disrupted the flow of Onoki's chakra.

What kind of technique is this? A pupil technique?

That's right! This is what eye technique should be!

What's Madara Uchiha's compared to that?!

Onoki shuddered and fell, but in an instant, he regained his floating posture, standing in mid-air panting heavily, realizing that he had just narrowly escaped death.

"Your Excellency, what does this mean?" Wu asked in a deep voice.

With a soft chuckle and resting her chin on her hand, Jie Luo said, "When children fight, adults shouldn't interfere, should they?"

"A child?" Upon hearing this, Onoki looked at Yura and asked, "How old are you? You look younger than me!"

Could this woman be an old lady who looks like a young girl?

How old is she exactly?

secret.

Noticing Onoki's gaze, Yura smiled faintly, raised her index finger to her lips, and gestured for Onoki to shut up.

A chill ran down my spine! My thoughts had been read!?

Onoki abruptly lowered his head, not daring to look any longer into those scarlet eyes.

"Your Excellency, that is true..."

Jie Luo interrupted, smiling slightly, "Then let's see who's stronger. Shall we start a war?"

No! Why aren't you talking like the script?!

He felt a tightness in his chest, a slightly troublesome situation. He certainly didn't want to start a fight, as his injuries hadn't fully healed yet.

It's important to know that he possesses the technique "Dustless Concealment," which grants him the terrifying ability to become invisible, making him virtually undetectable.

But the woman in front of him sensed and detected it.

Without a doubt, the other side is a monster.

"Sir, please consider this a children's fight. My disciple's skills are lacking, please forgive him." Wu first feigned weakness to evade responsibility, then asked, "May I ask, sir, what brings you to the Land of Earth?"

"If..." Yura said, "I want to join Iwagakure, would you believe me?"

Whenever a ninja from another village joins, at least a check should be arranged to investigate their background. This is true for ordinary ninjas, so powerful ninjas should be even more vigilant.

The question now is whether the village dares to accept it.

Power means difficulty in control; difficulty in control means instability; instability leads to poor sleep; poor sleep...

"Don't joke around, sir..." Wu said, "Is there anything about Iwagakure that attracts you?"

What is your purpose?

"The people in this place must be incredibly talented," Jieluo said. "I'm quite interested in earth-based techniques."

During the interview, Jie Luo did his job, so let's be honest.

Beneath the bandages, every face held a hint of unspoken difficulty.

Is it just earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or magic)?

You'll see if I believe you or not.

"We cannot allow you to join Iwagakure." Wu looked at Lucy beside him and said sincerely, "Hashirama Senju is still alive. The five great villages have already reached an agreement to allocate two tailed beasts to each village. I would be happy to have one more, but I'm afraid Tobirama Senju will not agree. Once the news leaks out, Iwagakure will have a hard time explaining to Konoha."

"So cowardly?" Jie Luo said directly.

Beneath the bandages, he wore a pained expression as if he had eaten feces.

"I have to admit, you must be incredibly powerful to be able to capture a tailed beast all by yourself."

Currently, Lucy is the only Jinchūriki in the ninja world. Hashirama Senju has not yet been delivered. The major villages have made assessments of the strength of Jinchūriki.

"But you probably don't yet understand the terrifying power of the God of Ninjas," Wu said in a deep voice.

"I know..." Jieluo smiled faintly.

Without a second thought, you really know?

"I've fought him before, the God of Ninjas."

After he finished speaking, Wu looked at Jie Luo with a deep sense of respect.

Onoki's pupils dilated in shock. He had never seen Hashirama Senju fight, but that didn't matter. He had recently witnessed Madara Uchiha's attack, and that overwhelming power was his recent nightmare.

When you're out in the world, your identity is something you give yourself, and Jie Luo plans to brag about it for the rest of his life. Jie Luo looked at Wu and said, "How about it? Think about it."

That would be even worse!

With a troubled expression, and for some reason feeling a sense of unease about the surroundings, he slowly and steadily said, "I'm sorry, sir, the village isn't hiring right now."

Jieluo squinted, and out of sight, a scythe made of hair silently hovered around Wu. In just a moment, it could cut him down. After confirming that even Wu's senses could not detect the hair blade, Jieluo quietly withdrew the scythe.

However, sensory ninjas are really annoying.

Especially ninjas who can perform precise perception over a wide area anytime and anywhere.

In Konoha Village, there is also Tobirama Senju, whose perception is no less than that of Wu, and even surpasses it in terms of distance.

Sitting with her legs crossed in mid-air, Jieluo smiled and said, "Could you please make an exception for me? I have quite a lot of respect for Iwagakure."

He died before he could even begin...

Sorry.

Without shaking his head, he said, "Please return, sir. Perhaps you could try joining Konoha."

Jie Luo squinted and said, "It's best to avoid making threats."

"How could that be?" Wu innocently replied, "I was just offering a sincere suggestion."

Joining Konoha requires gaining Tobirama's trust, but Hashirama's word is not enough. Tobirama has a million ways to mess things up. Even the wise general Mu couldn't be fooled, let alone Tobirama. Not to mention, Yura just killed a Konoha ninja not long ago.

"I understand..." With that, Yura looked at the little brat behind her, Onoki.

Onoki's heart tightened; he wondered what I meant.

The only bloodline limit in the ninja world, Dust Release, is quite an interesting technique.

Normal bloodline limits are awakened through bloodline inheritance, but Dust Release is different. It is learned through master-disciple inheritance. The originator is the man in front of us. Why did he choose Onoki? Is he sure that Onoki can learn Dust Release?

"Kid, you've learned that Dust Release technique?"

Ohnoki was startled and looked at his teacher.

This person was also an expert in developing ninjutsu, and many of his unique techniques were not learned by Onoki.

Seeing that the teacher didn't stop him, Onoki said, "You've learned it, so what?"

Upon hearing this, Jieluo looked at Wu expectantly, her eyes sparkling, and asked, "Do you think I can learn it?"

Whether you learn it or not is irrelevant; what matters is whether you can learn it.

Jieluo wanted to confirm this.

Wu felt a headache coming on. Was he really that direct? Did we even know each other? Did he have any shame?

"Teacher!" Ohnoki exclaimed urgently, "You can't agree to this just because of her beauty!"

"Sir, if there's nothing else important to discuss, let's leave it at that," Wu said.

"Is that so..." Jieluo nodded and said, "Even if the deal doesn't go through, we can still be on good terms. To show my sincerity, I'll give you some information as a bonus."

intelligence?

He looked at Jieluo with a serious expression.
