Konoha's Ninja Successor

Kitsune was originally an orphan from the Grass Ninja Village, and her original name was Katori Mai.During the war, the Grass Ninja Village needed a large number of ninja cannon fodder, forcing Mai Katori to undergo cruel ninja training. In order to survive, Fox trained her strength hard, and was eventually promoted to Jonin in the Grass Ninja Village with her outstanding talent. She was only 15 years old.

However, the interior of the Grass Ninja Village was actually very chaotic. Katori Mai's good days did not last long before she was betrayed by her fellow ninjas who were jealous of her promotion speed. She was also hunted down by the Konoha ninjas who were in the gap between the enemy countries.

Later, Katori Mai desperately killed three Konoha chuunin before escaping from the natural world. When she returned to the Country of Grass, she discovered that her teammates had long falsely accused her of defecting. The Grass Ninja Village also treated her as a traitor, and she once again lost her belongings. Katori Mai could only escape to the border of the Country of Grass and the Country of Birds to be taken away by the root organization.

In order to survive, she began to rob merchants passing by the border. In order to cover up her whereabouts, she killed those who had seen her. She gained a lot of money through such robbery.After being betrayed, she no longer trusted anyone else and chose to live alone, and thus she lived her own little life.

But robbing life is risky, and Katori Mai finally hit a hard wall. A man wearing a mask from Taki Ninja Village was running away from something, with a bag full of money in his hand.The fox, who saw the money, stared at the ninja and attacked him directly.

But what surprised Katori Mai was that her jounin-level strength could not make any waves in front of her. Even though the jounin under the ninja selection system of Kusanagi Village was weaker than the jounin of the five major ninja villages, their own strength was There won't be much difference.But Katori Mai was suppressed by her opponent regardless of her ninjutsu, illusion or taijutsu.

"You have good skills. You are probably a famous character on the bounty list. Your head should be worth a lot of money!" The masked ninja casually avoided the fox's kunai attack, and then a trace of interest appeared in his eyes, and he was interested in the bounty money. .

The panting Katori Mai looked at the extraordinary man in front of her in surprise. From the beginning, she had been led by the opponent, and the rhythm of the battle was completely disrupted. Until now, she had not hurt the opponent even a hair.

"Fire escape. Hard work!" The masked man formed a seal with his hands, and then spit out a small fireball from his mouth, which would instantly expand the burning area after landing.

Katori Mai looked at the powerful ninjutsu power like a sea of ​​fire in horror, and quickly used ninjutsu defense regardless of the chakra consumption in her body. After all, she could not avoid the range of the opponent's ninjutsu with her speed.

"Water escape. Water chaos!"

After quickly forming a seal, Katori Mai sprayed out a waterfall-like water flow from her mouth and rushed towards the opponent. The scale of this water wave attack, which almost used up half of her chakra, was not small.

However, even with the advantage of water type over fire type, the terrifying fire-like attack launched by the opponent still quickly evaporated the water vapor. Katori Mai could only watch in despair as the flames continued to burn toward her, and The water turbulence he used also changed from a huge amount to a small stream of water, and finally disappeared into the sea of ​​fire.

Katori Mai lowered her hands in despair, with a trace of unwillingness on her pretty face.Abandoned by her family since she was a child, she lived a poor life as a scavenger. Later, when she joined the Grass Ninja Village, she was still betrayed by those close to her. At the moment when she was about to die, she began to hate this world full of misfortune.

Why is life so harsh on her? Why can't she have her own value and her own life like others?He has obviously tried very hard to survive!

Katori Mai's tears overflowed from her eyes. The super-high temperature flames had ignited her clothes, and her body had begun to show signs of burns. The sea of ​​​​fire was close at hand, and she was about to leave this world with her final reluctance.

Just then a voice sounded, and a person changed her fate.

"Water escape. Breaking the current!"

The young ninja in ANBU uniform jumped up from behind the fox, shouted, and instantly raised a waterspout in the waterless environment, directly extinguishing the flames that came up.

The level of this water escape is much better than that of the fox, and it directly blocks the opponent's attack.

"Hey...are those annoying guys coming here so quickly?" The masked man narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling annoyed by this person's appearance.

Uh-huh! ! !

Countless figures appeared from all sides in an instant, directly surrounding the masked man, leaving no room for him to escape.

"Madam, if you have nothing to do, please leave. We are going to perform a mission next." The young Gen ninja was Kaguya. He solemnly blocked Mai Katori behind him and said without looking back.

Katori Mai's eyes sparkled. At this moment, she had a different kind of feeling for the strange ninja who saved her at the moment of life and death. Only then did she realize that the world was not as cruel as she imagined. She had stayed in the wild for a long time in order to communicate with others. A special emotion suddenly arose in Katori Mai's heart, and she suddenly wanted to see the true face of this ninja under the mask.

"Can you take off your mask and show me your face?" Katori Mai couldn't help but say what was in her heart.

"Eh?!" A paused, then slowly turned his head to look at the slightly charming girl behind him, who was looking at him with a confused look.

Katori Mai was stunned for a moment. Only then did she realize what she was talking about, and her face suddenly turned red, making her look even cuter.

Judging from the ninja's clothing, the opponent is an Anbu costume belonging to Konoha Village. The absolute confidentiality of information is the basis of Anbu. My request to see the other person's face is indeed too much.Moreover, when a woman asks a man to take off his mask so that she can see his face, isn’t it strange that a woman would make such a request?

"Sorry, you must be Konoha's ANBU. You just saved me. In order to remember your kindness, please tell me your name, even if it is your code name."

A hesitated for a moment, then calmed down and said calmly: "A."

"A..." Katori Mai murmured this code name, wanting to ingrain it deep in her heart.

"I've told you what you want to know. Now please leave quickly..."

"Wait! I want to fight with you. You saved me, I can't just leave." Katori Mai interrupted A's words and said quickly.

Seeing that Katori Mai was unwilling to leave, A finally acquiesced to her assistance. However, A was always secretly wary of Katori Mai. After all, he didn't know whether the fox he rescued had any malicious intentions. After all, the fox was also a man with extraordinary skills. The jounin.

In this battle, the Gen [-] detachment suffered heavy casualties, with nearly fifty members suffering direct casualties and more than thirty casualties. This was the first time that A, who had been the captain for so long, experienced such profound pain and failure.

Nearly half of the Gen [-] detachment was destroyed. Teammates who had cooperated with each other for many years suffered heavy casualties, and the mission to capture the enemy failed. A fell into intense self-blame, and the morale of the Gen [-] detachment dropped to its lowest level ever.

Katori Mai was also injured and comatose while trying to help A block the opponent's wind escape attack. A, who didn't know how to deal with this situation, took Katori Mai back to the root tissue, and finally ruled out the possibility of being a spy through a series of memory scans. Later, Katori Mai was transferred to Konoha Hospital for treatment.

When A was finally ordered to send him away from Konoha, Kitsune strongly demanded to join the Root Organization. Originally A was planning to refuse, but at this time Danzo came out, agreed and took Kitsune away.

Originally, Danzo planned to recruit Mai Kaori and use her as his own. After all, it would be a pity not to use her strength. Even if the other party did not agree to join, she could never be allowed to leave the village. She should be killed directly to prevent it from being used by others. Danzo agreed. It was also for this reason that it was transferred to Konoha Hospital.

In the end, Katori Mai trained with several peers who were also brought back from other places, and Danzo conducted very cruel training on them.
