Konoha's Shiranui Genma

Chapter 24 The Calm Before the Storm

"Militants?"

The fat old man nodded, and then said: "It is said that he is Zuo Yun's classmate, and he is also an outstanding ninja who graduated second only to Zuo Yun. It's just that he lost his right arm during a mission, and his strength has stagnated since then..."

Aiba took over the words: "After Shiranui Xingjian lost his right arm, the school wanted him to be a teacher, but he refused."

"We thought he would be out of work from now on, but we didn't expect that he just learned to wield a sword with his left hand, and performed missions as a Chunin again, and finally died in a battle with Sand Yin."

"With the sword in his left hand, he still continues to perform tasks as a Chunin? Is he so powerful?" The skinny old man looked surprised.

The fat old man said: "No matter how powerful a ninja who lost his right arm can be. Let me tell you, he bought two thousand detonating charms from me at one go in order to go to the battlefield."

"Two thousand!"

The fat old man nodded: "At that time, detonating talismans were still expensive, I guess for these two thousand detonating talismans, even if Shiranui Xingjian didn't lose his fortune... It can be seen how warlike this man is, losing his right arm and ruining his fortune can't stop him. "

Sarutobiyan's face has changed a bit: "But what does this have to do with Xuanjian?"

Aiba glanced at him: "My nephew, who works as a weapon master in your store, mentioned to me a few days ago that the kid Shiranui Genma bought a silver blade for more than 70 taels... Hey, it's exactly the same as his father .”

"Such people are born to belong to war, and they are destined not to hide in the house and draw talismans honestly."

Sarutobiyan stammered and said, "It's just a knife, and it's only worth 10,000+. Now that the situation is tense, it's normal to buy it for self-defense."

"A mere 10,000+, that's for us. How long has that kid been a junior talisman maker, how much savings can he have?" Aiba shook his head.

"And according to what you said, his talent in talisman making is amazing. Although I don't know much about talisman making, I also know that talisman making requires a high level of chakra control. From this point of view, the child's talent as a ninja It must be extraordinary, too. Am I right?"

"..." Yuan Feiyan was silent for a while, then lowered his head and said, "Not only that, he was able to use the shadow clone technique when he was nine years old."

As soon as this remark came out, even Aiba was taken aback.Shock was also written on the faces of the other old men.

"So, not only does he have outstanding chakra control ability, but also the amount of chakra is very human?"

Aiba sighed and said: "It is even more impossible for such a genius to be willing to be a talisman maker, not to mention he has a 'good father' as an example."

"I have a hunch, Lao Yan, this talisman maker apprentice whom you have placed high hopes on will probably shine as a ninja on the battlefield in the future."

……

December 643 of the Land of Fire.

In the courtyard, Shiranui Xuanjian held a long knife in his right hand, stared at the wooden pile in front of him, and concentrated for a moment.

Immediately after he heard a soft drink from him, his whole body turned into an afterimage and rushed towards the stake in an instant.

A cold light suddenly appeared, and there was a faint flash of fire, only a few "clicks" were heard, and when Huo Xuanjian retracted the knife, the wooden stake suddenly broke into several pieces and scattered all over the ground.

The neat cuts of the wooden blocks were faintly black, as if they had just been swept by a hot flame.

Turning around and looking at the pieces of wood scattered on the ground, Shiranui Genma had no expression on his face.

Chakra of the fire attribute doesn't seem to match sharp weapons... At least with my current strength, attaching chakra to a knife really doesn't play a big role.

The wind attribute is a good match for sharp weapons, but my second attribute has not been developed much, and I don't even know a wind escape ninjutsu, and its effect is also limited.

Shiranui Xuanjian shook his head, put Yinfeng into the scabbard at his waist, turned and went out.

Due to the lack of cash, he bought this relatively long silver front after several considerations.

Now, the bad news is that he can't add much power by attaching chakra for the time being. The good news is that the problem of height no longer exists.

Not long after buying the knife, Shiranui Genma entered the puberty of physical development, and his height, weight, and even his chakra began to grow rapidly like never before.

Now his height has reached 1.6 meters. Although he is still a bit short of the adult level, there is nothing awkward about using this knife.

In addition, with the rapid growth of chakra, Shiranui Genma can finally learn and practice ninjutsu more frequently.

He has mastered several commonly used C-level fire escape ninjutsu, such as Hao Fireball Jutsu, Dragon Fire Jutsu, and Flame Bullet Jutsu, one by one in the past few months.

Helix Wan also completed the third stage of practice, but the result was not satisfactory to him. He always felt that his Helix Wan was missing something, and the power was not as amazing as he had imagined.

It seems that in addition to the three-stage practice, there should be some tricks in the spiral pill, and I still need to explore it.

Of course, even though it's just a monkey version of the spiral pill, it is still better than ordinary C-level ninjutsu in terms of practicality, and it can be regarded as a big reliance for Shiranui Genma at the current stage.

Shiranui Xuanma felt that with the current self, with a small amount of spells, it shouldn't be a big problem to kill a Chunin...

Just thinking about it, Genma Shiranui put his hands in his pockets, walked slowly to a nearby restaurant, and met a Chunin he knew.

"Kakashi." He greeted.

Kakashi was carrying a bag of grilled saury with salt. Hearing the sound, he raised his head and replied, "Genma."

Compared with a few years ago, today's Kakashi can be said to have experienced many battles and has seen a lot of bloodshed and sacrifices. He is not as cheerful as before, and his listless temperament is becoming more and more prominent.

This can be regarded as confirming Shiranui Genma's idea.

Children leaving the learning environment prematurely will eventually have some side effects.

"Well, you should soon become an intermediate talisman maker, right?" Kakashi asked.

"It's just that the success rate of the detonating talisman has reached 60%. The standard for an intermediate talisman maker is more than that." Shiranui Genjian laughed, "In comparison, you should be closer to becoming a Jonin."

Kakashi shook his head: "I still need to participate in another S-level mission to participate in Anbu's jounin assessment, but now the situation has changed again, and the S-level mission is not so easy to find."

"Change?" Shiranui Xuanjian was startled.

"Well, I heard from my father that the third Kazekage, who has always been close to Konoha, overcame all opinions and decided to go to Konoha to discuss alliance matters... The tense situation has eased a lot like this."

Three generations of Kazekage, this product should be dead soon.Shiranui Xuanjian thought.

"Maybe it's the calm before the storm." He seemed to say something unintentionally.

"The calm before the storm?"

Kakashi frowned slightly, then stretched his brows again, and said nonchalantly:

"Maybe."

After finishing speaking, he took the grilled saury with salt, turned and left.
