Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

The sun shines through the dense leaves, dappling in this peaceful forest. Liu Xia stands quietly in the shadow of a towering tree, his eyes calm and deep, as if he can see through everything. The Death Forest has not seen the sun for a long time, and it seems to be full of dangers. Occasionally, the roar of unknown animals in the distance adds a bit of gloom and horror to this forest.

Yanagishita had deliberately displayed the Scroll of Earth in his hand at the place where he received the scroll. That was part of his elaborate plan. He knew that such behavior would attract the attention of those greedy and ambitious ninjas. They were like sharks smelling blood and could not resist such temptation.

He also rejected the idea of ​​​​reunion requested by Nawaki and others, because he needed to act alone to ensure the smooth progress of the plan. He deliberately made himself look like he was separated from the team, so that the ninjas would think he was an easy target. Now is the time to close the net.

"That guy is a human! Haha, God is helping me. It looks like we can collect all the scrolls." One of them said excitedly, his voice full of greed and pride.

"Well, but be careful, the other party may be difficult to deal with." Another person warned, with a hint of caution in his voice.

"What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, can't we beat one person?" The third man's voice was full of contempt and confidence.

"That's right. And judging from his appearance, he seems to be a Konoha ninja. He must have gotten separated from his team. Hehe, I've been annoyed with these ninjas from big countries for a long time. It doesn't matter if I kill him today!" someone echoed, his tone revealing his dissatisfaction and hostility towards the Konoha ninjas.

Yanagishita smiled slightly, knowing that the ninjas had fallen into his trap. He gently adjusted his forehead protector to make sure it was snug against his forehead, then slowly stepped out of the shadows to face the ninjas who were plotting.

"Hey, people from the Kusagakure Village, you guys are plotting so loudly. Didn't your school teach you to hide?" Yanagishita said calmly, his voice calm and firm, without a trace of fear or tension.

The ninjas were startled by the sudden appearance of Yanagi, as they did not expect Yanagi to discover their presence so quickly. They showed expressions of surprise and uneasiness on their faces, but soon regained their confidence.

"Hmph, since you've heard it, just hand over the Scroll of Earth in your hand honestly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude." The leading ninja sneered contemptuously, their weapons clenched in their hands, ready to attack at any time.

"If you want, come and get it! Uncles from the Kusagakure Village." Yanagixia gently shook the Scroll of Earth in his hand.

Yanagishita's contempt for himself obviously angered the three Grass Ninjas in front of him. He was obviously only eighteen years old, although he looked a little older.

"Damn it! Do it! Get rid of him quickly!"

Following the order from the leading ninja, the three Kusanagi ninjas quickly launched an offensive. Their movements were swift and coordinated, and they were obviously trained and coordinated over a long period of time. The three attacked Yanagishita from different directions, attempting to suppress Yanagishita with their numerical advantage.

Yanagishita dodged the first round of attacks easily with a flick of his body. His movements were light and swift, like a gust of wind in the forest, elusive. His eyes were sharp, observing every ninja's movements and intentions.

"It seems that you still haven't learned how to hide your intentions." Liu Xia mocked while dodging, with a hint of amusement in his voice.

The Kusanagi were enraged by Yanagishita's provocation and attacked more fiercely. However, no matter how hard they tried, they seemed unable to touch Yanagishita. Yanagishita was like a nimble deer, moving through the forest and avoiding all attacks.

At this moment, Yanagishita suddenly stopped and looked into the depths of the forest. There, other ninjas were hiding, watching and waiting for the best opportunity to strike.

"What are you waiting for? Do you want to see me defeated and then reap the benefits?" Liuxia shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the forest.

The hidden ninjas were startled by Yanagishita's words. They realized that they had been discovered. Judging from the situation, Yanagishita was definitely a seed player of Konoha. If they could take him down, no matter whether they could pass the test or not, they would get a lot of rewards in the village. Thinking of this, everyone chose to jump out from behind the trees and the bushes, and joined the battle together. They tacitly chose to take down the Konoha kid in front of them first.

The battle became more intense, and Yanagishita was no longer facing three people, but a group of ninjas. However, he did not show any fear or panic. Instead, a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"This is quite interesting." Liuxia said in a low voice. His body began to move quickly. He took out his Red Blood Sword but did not unsheathe it. He still needed to save their lives to spread his name.

Yanagishita quickly launched a counterattack, his figure shuttled among the ninjas, and each attack accurately hit the opponent's vital points. The ninjas fell one after another, their eyes full of disbelief.

The battle ended quickly, and Yanagishita stood there, surrounded by fallen ninjas. He gently adjusted his forehead protector, then took away everyone's scrolls, all of which were scrolls of heaven, and smiled with satisfaction.

"It seems that today's harvest is not bad. Those guys holding the Scroll of Earth are blessed!" Liuxia said to himself, then turned and left the forest to continue his journey.

......

While fishing for a dozen small fish under the willow, at the same time, at the other end of the forest, Shengshu and his teammates were in a tense confrontation. They had just finished a battle and had just found a safe place to restore their strength and chakra, but they ran into trouble.

As the most sensitive ninja in the team, Hyuga Suzuran was very aware of the surroundings. Her Byakugan ability allowed her to see through the surroundings and even sense the flow of chakra. When she discovered that three chakra sources were approaching quickly, she immediately woke up Nawaki and Uchiha En who were resting.

"Seiju, and Uchiha En, there are three chakra sources in the east that are rapidly approaching us. Judging from the chakra, it is the Sand Village team from before. It seems that they are coming for us."

Rope Tree and Uchiha En immediately woke up from their resting state. They quickly stood up and prepared for battle.

"That's perfect. I couldn't teach them a lesson in the exam room last time. I'm going to teach them a lesson this time!"

"Mr. Nawaki, don't be careless. From the perception of chakra, none of them are weak." Hinata Suzuran saw that Nawaki decided to remind her so decisively. She must not be careless because she has her reasons for advancing.

"Hmph, the Sand Village is just a bunch of guys who can only do small tricks behind the scenes! In front of the power of me, Uchiha, they will only be defeated!" Uchiha Yan was still so cold, arrogant and confident.

Hinata Suzuran said nothing more after hearing this, and continued to use her Byakugan to closely monitor the enemy's movements. She could sense that the enemy was very close.
