Konoha's Strongest Empress

"Successful"

Two black shadows rushed forward like the tails of comets, breaking through the ground, and the murderous aura emanating from them pointed directly at Kazama.

"Assassins?" Itachi and Izumi turned back to look at Kazama, but it was too late.

Two masked ninjas emerged from the shadows, holding sharp bayonets, and swung them through the air from both sides.

Two crisp muffled sounds of "Bang Bang" were heard, and in the next second the two attacking assassins drew two beautiful arcs in the air and flew out, dragging long ravines on the ground.

"Wind Escape, Great Breakthrough" Qiying formed several seals with her hands, and breathed out a majestic gust of wind from her small mouth, blowing away all the dust surrounding her.

Seeing that Kazama was safe and sound, Itachi and Izumi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, just a moment of slack would attract the attack of assassins.

After Qi Ying loosened her fists, she glanced slightly at the two assassins who had fainted: "You came so soon, let me see your true colors."

As soon as the front feet stepped out, black marks suddenly appeared under the bodies of the two unconscious assassins, and then their bodies began to twitch violently, and there was no movement after a few seconds.

"Dead" Seeing this scene, Qiying couldn't help but frown.

It was obvious that these two were killed by some kind of spell after the defeat in the battle. The only ones who could do this were illusion and real-time spells. Presumably, the mastermind behind these two people had already saved their hands.

In order to prevent his men from falling into the hands of the enemy, did he plant a magic in them that would cause them to die once they were defeated?

It's really cruel.

Kazama, who was still in shock, saw the two of them died, pulled Qi Ying's cuff and thanked him continuously: "Thank you, I almost died."

"It's nothing, this is what a guard should do, but, Mr. Kazama, is there something you didn't tell us." Qi Ying turned around and looked at Kazama suspiciously.

Under normal circumstances, a C-level escort mission will only encounter some bandits and bandits at most, and at worst some ninjas of average strength. But judging from the scene where these two people just appeared, they The stealth technique used does not look like the ninjutsu used by ordinary ninjas.

Looking at Qiying's suspicious eyes, Kazama couldn't help but tremble, looked away, and began to avoid staring at Qiying.

This guy

"If you don't plan to say it, Mr. Kazama, I won't force you, but in this case, I will cancel the commission. After all, I can't take risks without knowing the mission." Qiying said and turned to Itachi and Izumi: "let's go."

"and many more"

Seeing that Qi Ying was really about to leave, Kazama hurried up to stop him, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I said, please continue to protect me."

"Well, let's hear what's going on first, and try to keep the story short, or there may be another assassin." Qi Ying waved Itachi and Izumi to stop.

"These two probably want to snatch the Xingyao Crystal." After removing the bag on his back, Kazama opened the bag.

I saw some cotton items and some yellow weeds in the cyst.

What exactly are these things protecting themselves in this bag?

"What is the Star Crystal you are talking about?"

"That is the treasure of the Swamp Kingdom. Since ancient times, the Swamp Kingdom and the Ghost Kingdom have sealed monsters called spies. The Ghost Kingdom has sealed the souls of sprites, and the Swamp Kingdom has sealed the souls of sprites." .”

"But it is not easy to seal the demons. In recent years, those responsible for maintaining the seal in the Swamp Kingdom have become increasingly unable to do what they do, and the demons' seals have become more and more fragile. In order to maintain the seal, Lord Wenxin asked I will go to the Kingdom of Ghosts to get the Star Crystal."

"But on the way back, I was ambushed by a group of assassins. They came towards the Xingyao Crystal. The guards sent by Lord Wenxin were all killed by them. It was only by luck that I escaped from their hands, and then came Go to Konoha Village to entrust guards."

After listening to the whole process of Qiying, she put one hand on her chin and thought deeply.

The country of ghosts is the country where Ziyuan is located in the movie version. Ziyuan should not have been born at this point in time.

But I have never heard of such a thing as Star Crystal. Could it be the same type as Hexagonal Crystal?

"I understand the situation. Where is the thing called the Star Crystal?"

"Just in case, I hid in a very secret place in the Kingdom of Ghosts, protected by an enchantment over there, so they shouldn't be able to find out."

"Ha Zang is in the Kingdom of Ghosts. According to what you said, we have to go to the Kingdom of Ghosts first." Qiying curled her lips helplessly. The bag on this man's back was to confuse the enemy.

This has already confused my own people.

But no matter what, this has exceeded the difficulty of the original mission, and has to be at least upgraded to an A-level mission. This is an organized and premeditated collective attack.

Now he has two choices, one is to ask the client to provide the commission fee for the A-level mission, the other is to cancel the mission and return to Konoha Village.

I still have to listen to Itachi and Izumi's opinions, but I don't care.

"Itachi, Izumi, how did you decide that this mission should be at least A-level?" Qiying turned around and asked the two of them.

"I listened to Itachi."

"This is an A-level mission. According to common sense, it shouldn't be a mission we have to take on. It's better to cancel it." Itachi said with a thoughtful look, folding his hands in front of his chest.

Hearing this, Kazama's face suddenly revealed a look of incomparable despair.

After a moment of silence, Itachi continued: "However, if the Xingyao Crystal falls into the hands of these assassins, that monster called a sprite will be revived."

After Kazama nodded, his face was full of solemnity.

"The sprites once destroyed the world. It was the miko-sama of the ghost country and the priest-sama of the swamp country that sealed the sprites and prevented the destruction of the world."

"Please, in order not to revive that terrifying monster, please complete this escort mission. After the mission is completed, you can pay as much as you want." Kazama knelt down on the ground, crossed his hands and spread the ground, his tone was extremely sincere.

After Qiying and Itachi looked at each other, they walked up to Kazama and helped him up.

"I see, we will take over this mission, but you have to make sure you don't hide anything from us, or don't blame us if you die at the hands of the enemy."

"I have told you everything"

"Well, let's go to the Kingdom of Ghosts to find Xingyao Crystal immediately. The assassin here has missed, and there must be an action there soon." Qi Ying turned and looked at the mountains in the distance.

The kingdom of ghosts, it seems that another big event is about to happen.

In a certain forest, a man sat cross-legged with one hand in front of his mouth. After a while, he opened his eyes, and the two purple eye shadows were slightly raised.

"I found it, the kingdom of ghosts."
