Konoha's West Gate Official

"The art of concealment!"

Looking at the complicated mystical pictures and texts carved on it, a gleam of light flashed across Ximen's eyes. This is not a ninjutsu in the general sense, but a secret technique unique to the Uzumaki clan.

When Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the first Hokage, passed away, she gave most of the property she left behind to Kushina Uzumaki, thus making her a properly wealthy woman.

As for this concealment technique, as you can tell from the name, it is a secret technique of concealment. As long as you cast the technique, you can shroud the surrounding environment in darkness, and your own aura will be restrained, making it difficult to detect. .

Obviously this is specially designed for assassins. It is very practical and not very difficult to learn.

However, everything has its pros and cons, and this hidden technique has two serious flaws that cannot be ignored.

First of all, if you want to perform this technique, you must have seal attribute chakra. This alone is enough to stop most ninjas from thinking.

Another point is that while the concealment technique blocks the enemy's line of sight, it will also affect the caster himself, and his vision and hearing will be greatly weakened.

To put it simply, this secret technique does not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. If you injure the enemy by one thousand, you will injure yourself by eight hundred. These two huge problems have discouraged many practitioners, and they have gradually been left aside.

But these are nothing to him. He has five attributes of chakra in his body, including the rarest yin and yang.

Secondly, with the help of the domineering power of knowledge, you can clearly feel the movements of the outside world even with your eyes closed, and it is no problem to lock the opponent's position and actions in the dark.

Imagine what a sour experience it would be to be attacked by time and space ninjutsu in a dark environment with no one visible behind you.

Thinking of this, Ximen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. This kind of gameplay must be very interesting...

In the next few days, he spent most of his time practicing the Thirteen Quick Sword Styles and the Hidden Technique, and he barely got started.

What surprised him was that although the sword skills rewarded by the system did not look very serious, after practicing, he found that they were stronger than expected.

The power of the sword is fast and powerful, yet simple and easy to understand, making it very friendly to a novice in the art of swordsmanship like myself.

The so-called thirteen moves are actually not some advanced moves, but the thirteen most basic fighting techniques, which are: sweeping, chopping, poking, cutting, plundering, nabbing, chopping, sudden, slashing, teasing, and blocking. , rotate, close.

Although it looks unremarkable, it is very suitable for me now. After all, there are not so many bells and whistles when fighting on the battlefield, simple and rough is enough.

To say the least, if you were given some advanced swordsmanship such as Dugu Nine Swords, you might not be able to learn it...

Unknowingly, a few more days passed, and Ximen also received his second mission, which was to sort out the nearby Kumogakure ninjas.

After the previous interception, although Kumogakure temporarily held back and did not start a war immediately, they also sent some ninja teams to sneak in in small groups.

Firstly, I want to try to get some information, and secondly, it can also have a certain interference effect.

Naturally, Konoha also sent out manpower to arrest them, but although those guys were not very strong, they were all very slippery, and they had already disappeared before the pursuers arrived.

Therefore, it is necessary to send people with strong perception ability and agile body skills to execute it, and Ximen is a good choice.

As for this task, he did not refuse. After all, there was still a long way to go before the completion of Thousand People Killing. Since he had the opportunity, of course he had to push the progress as much as possible.

After receiving the order, Ximen left the camp and ran towards the nearby area to investigate.

As the information unfolded, traces of the enemy were discovered half a day later.

Ximen stood on the top of a big branch and looked down. He saw several mysterious figures jumping in the jungle. Their body movements and identities were flexible. It was obvious that these were the ninjas sent by Kumogakure.

Ximen smiled slightly, then quickly formed a seal, and shouted in his heart: "The art of concealment!"

In an instant, a dark shadow as thick as ink spread, filling the entire space at an extremely fast speed, covering the entire surrounding area of ​​more than a hundred meters!

"what happened!"

Several Kumogakure ninjas couldn't help but be shocked when they saw such a change, and then immediately gathered together, guarding each other back to back, staring at the darkness in front of them with great vigilance.

At this moment, a few inconspicuous shurikens flew towards them and hit them at their feet. Under the influence of the secret technique, several people did not notice such a clear movement.

The next moment, with a flash of cold light and a shrill scream, a Kumogakure ninja had his neck cut without any reaction and died.

"Not good, enemy..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a Chuunin's head was chopped off.

Seeing this situation, the remaining people's scalps suddenly went numb. They couldn't even see a single figure on their side, but two people died. Could it be that they encountered a ghost!

As soon as this thought came to mind, several more rays of sword light swished past, tearing the air with lightning speed, and slashed down mercilessly.

Following several screams, the remaining people fell to the ground with fear on their faces, and their souls returned to hell.

In just a few breaths, several elite ninjas were all killed, without the slightest ability to fight back.

Then, the dark night slowly dissipated, and Ximen's figure was revealed. He wiped away the blood, sheathed the knife, and exhaled a long breath: "It's so happy!"

Such an easy experience of killing enemies is really wonderful. With the cooperation of the Flying Thunder God and the Hidden Technique, the enemies seemed to have turned into lambs to be slaughtered, unable to even mount the most basic resistance.

With the strength of these guys, if it was an honest duel, they might be able to delay it for a while, or even find a chance to escape. But now it was one sword at a time, and it was taken down very easily.

I have to say that this secret technique is really tailor-made for myself.

Of course, no matter how powerful a technique is, there is always an upper limit. This secret technique has a very good effect on genin, chunin, and even jounin, creating a huge advantage before the war begins.

But if you face a strong person above the shadow level, the effect will probably be weakened a lot.

After all, at that level, the only thing you can rely on is absolute strength, and methods such as deception are basically meaningless.

However, Ximen wouldn’t be stupid enough to fight with the film level. If he really encountered him, he would definitely run as far as he could...
