Konoha's Thief Hand

Chapter 60 The Silence Before the Storm

A ray of light from the horizon was swallowed, and the sky turned into an empty and tasteless gray-blue.

In the training ground of the broken city.

With a cry, the Shinobi fell to the ground, and the blade lifted up a handful of gravel.

“I lost.” Xia Shu froze for a moment, stroked the red marks on the side of her neck, and sighed.

“You didn’t lose.” After holding the newly cast Shinobi sword, Maruxing Furusuke felt that he was still in hand, then put it away, shook his head and said.

Xia Shu’s gaze fell on the Lanying knife that fell to the ground, and for a moment of silence, nodded and said: “Yes, I didn’t lose.”

“Why didn’t you lose? I saw it.” Hisano Heiyu rushed over from the field, picked up the Lanying knife and handed it to Xia Shu. It crosses your neck again, that’s amazing! Hey! Xia Shu, don’t deny failure, it will make you one step away from success!”

Xia Shu glanced at the triumphant guy and flipped Byakugan. The gestures were very different from the timing and circumstances, and he obviously had no talent in swordsmanship.

Maruxoshi Furusuke was right. He did not lose. This was not a competition, it was purely pointing or sparring, and naturally there was no talk of winning or losing.

But what made him even more discouraged was that he didn’t seem to have the power that Maruxei Furusuke valued at all. After all, Maruxei Furusuke was an understatement from beginning to end.

As if feeling the loneliness of the youth, Maruxoshi Kosuke said gently: “Natsuki-kun’s swordsmanship has taken shape. If you work hard, you may be able to achieve success.”

“Senior Gu Jie, thank you for your advice!” Without saying anything, Xia Shu put away the Lanying knife and bowed.

“Haha! Don’t think too much, boy.” Maruxoshi Kosuke shook his head slightly, and said again: “If there is free time tomorrow, we can continue to learn.”

“Yeah!” Xia Shu nodded quickly in response.

Even though Maruxoshi Kosuke only made one move at the end, he still feels that swordsmanship has improved quite a bit after this discussion. If he makes a few more attempts, perhaps the remaining two moves of the three swordsmanship can be mastered as soon as possible.

What’s more, this also means that he has a relationship with the hidden master Maru Xing Furusuke after all.

Throughout Maru Hoshi’s abilities, he can learn everything except Water Style Ninjutsu, especially the swordsmanship that blends with illusion.

Benefiting from being a human being in his two lives, he is also talented in illusion.

Maybe the power of illusion is mediocre, but Xia Shu really has no choice. Of course, the illusion of Maru Xing Furusuke and the swordsmanship can not be generalized by mere illusion.

All in all, Xia Shu’s heart was so restless that there was a trace of inner joy on her face.

…

As night fell, the originally quiet and ruined city was dissipated a bit of the noise, like a sleeping beast, exuding a brutal atmosphere, but entrenched.

Far away, sheltered by wind and sand, it is very different from the cold of the day and howling with the wind.

Several figures lying in the sand arched up, and the sand on their bodies was blown away by the night wind, like a thick fog.

In the thick fog, several words sounded.

“There is still no movement. It seems that there will be no emergencies. Well, time is almost up, we should evacuate.”

“Withdraw? Don’t you need to wait for the rotation?”

“What are you waiting for? There is nothing to hand over here. Moreover, the camp is in short supply recently. The supplies that Sagara said before that arrived yesterday have not arrived. Let’s find out if we can get a sand lizard as soon as possible on the road. Come and eat.”

“Sagara-sama, he…”

“What a bullshit! He is of the same origin as me, at best, his mouth can speak flattery. In the previous battle, all his men under his leadership were wiped out. If it weren’t for this kind of strategic mistake in wartime, Enough for him to be sentenced to ten times and eight times!” The man snorted coldly, “Even so, Sagara guy was also removed from the battlefield, responsible for detection and defense, Damn it! I’ll talk to him later. report!”

“senior……”

“Okay, let’s go quickly.”

After the man’s impatient urging words, the thick fog-like sand was blown away, the clear and cold moonlight fell, and the shadows of the shadows had disappeared in place.

The dilapidated city remains the same, and Sand Shinobi does not seem to be moving. However, the undercurrent is already surging, bursting and venting at any time!

Before the storm came, it was always exceptionally quiet.

…

The defense of the broken city was still boring, and the morning Qingliang had just dispersed, Ye Shanling’s team took over.

Xia Shu’s eyes were full of tiredness. In recent days, even with the accumulation of his mental energy, he couldn’t hold it back and was consumed one after another. In addition, there was also a discussion with Marusoshi Furusuke’s swordsmanship, and gradually showed signs of being hollowed out.

Especially when I woke up yesterday, I was very tired. If it hadn’t been dragged by the Kurano Black Rain, I’m afraid I would have forgotten the watchman, and after that, it was a night of support. At this moment, I suddenly felt a sense of liberation.

“Don’t call me for lunch, Hei Yu, I want to sleep all day!” He rubbed his eyes weakly.

“All right.” Kuno Heiyu nodded, then looked at Xia Shu who was yawning in confusion, “Why are you so… sleepy all of a sudden?”

He couldn’t find a word to describe Xia Shu’s state at the moment.

“The atmosphere in the city is getting more and more urgent, making me too tense, why? Didn’t you notice it?” Xia Shu glanced at the boy beside her.

Hearing the words, Kuno Hei Yu was startled, but he was unwilling to admit defeat, and said indifferently, stubbing his neck: “How is it possible? Of course I found out. Teacher Hirano also said that the decisive battle is coming!”

Seeing this, Xia Shu shook his head and smiled, slapped her mouth with her palm, yawned, and said casually: “Then are you ready?”

“Of course! At the end of this war, it was the moment when my Kuno killed the enemy and made merit!” Hisano Heiyu raised her head and looked like dawn is on me, “Don’t worry, Xia Shu, look at our friendship. For the sake of it, I will take care of you in the future!”

“Haha! You guy…” Xia Shu shook his head and laughed as he glanced at the arm on his shoulder, but before he could tease him, a figure suddenly rushed out of the alley beside him.

“Boy! What do you think war is?” There was a strong emotion hidden in the severe questioning.

Unexpectedly, someone would make a sudden move. Xia Shu was unprepared. The person who rushed out grabbed Hisano Heiyu’s shoulder and then grabbed his neck.

A dark face, gritted teeth and panting, made the mediocre appearance look fierce.

Of course, the most important thing is that the opponent wears the Konoha Shinobi vest, which is obviously a Chūnin.

With a glance away, Xia Shu made a brief analysis from the bottom of her heart, but her movements were not slow at all.

Kick it out and hit the face of the person approaching.

Snapped!

A crisp hit sounded, Xia Shu’s pupils tightened, and his kick was intercepted!
