Amegakure Ninja

After spending a night at the inn, falling asleep to the sound of rain in the Land of Rain was a unique experience.

The next day, upon opening his room door, Qinglong discovered that the inn they were staying at was surrounded by ninja from Amegakure.

"Whoa! What's going on?"

Qinglong leaned over the railing to look down.

"You two women and one man from outside, listen up! We from Amegakure have taken a liking to your vehicle, name your price! Amegakure wants it!"

Tsk! So the ninja who tried to force us to buy their car yesterday still haven't given up.

Yesterday, the ninja who tried to force the sale were beaten up by Tsunade. One of the leading Chunin who was beaten up declared that they were ninja from Amegakure and threatened Tsunade and the other two, warning them to expect retaliation from Amegakure!

As expected, they've come already!

And they've sent a Jonin squad right off the bat.

"We're not selling!"

From a window in a nearby room, Tsunade lazily leaned out. It seemed she was woken up from her sleep.

"Do you know who we are? We are ninja from Amegakure, sent by Lord Hanzo to purchase your vehicle. You have no choice but to sell!"

"Our patience is limited, you know!"

The leading Jonin said coldly, seemingly having lost his patience.

What do the ninja of Amegakure do?

They act as thugs, assassins, and robbers of travelers. They'll take any job for money!

Major ninja villages like Konoha have to use Anbu ninja secretly for certain unsavory missions.

But Amegakure does it openly, with their entire village involved, purely by any means necessary!

"I said we're not selling, and we're not selling!"

Tsunade's temper flared as well, and she slammed her hand on the window frame.

"Go back to sleep, I'll handle this."

Qinglong said to Tsunade. Tsunade had shared some of the money yesterday and had drunk quite a bit, so she went to bed late.

Qinglong opened his oil-paper umbrella and calmly walked out of the inn.

"Sending a mere child out here, you are truly foolish and arrogant! Do you not take our Amegakure ninja seriously!"

The Amegakure Jonin's eyes were wild, revealing a cruel, bloodthirsty glint.

"Hey! Kid, you'll die if you speak nonsense!"

Another Jonin chimed in with a mocking tone.

Qinglong paid them no mind, acting as if he didn't see the Amegakure ninja before him. This group of ninja wanted to rob the hovercar and get back the money they lost gambling.

"Everyone, please go back. The car is not for sale!"

In front of the inn, Qinglong slightly raised his umbrella, revealing a pair of cold, clear eyes.

"Brat! Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Then you leave us no choice!"

The Amegakure Jonin roared, throwing his umbrella high into the air.

"Ninjutsu? Senbon Shower!"

Instantly, countless needles rained down from the umbrella, engulfing Qinglong like a torrential downpour.

The Amegakure Jonin seemed to already picture the kid lying on the ground, covered in needles, writhing in pain. A cruel smile spread across his face.

"Swish!"

Qinglong's umbrella moved, spinning rapidly.

The moment the countless senbon needles touched the spinning umbrella, they were all flung away, shooting out in all directions!

"Ahhh~!"

Screams erupted as some of the ninja surrounding the inn were hit by the senbon, crying out in pain.

The leading Jonin held a kunai, blocking a senbon aimed at him.

"I underestimated the kid after all!"

The Jonin's eyes grew colder. He hadn't expected the opponent to be completely unharmed while his own men were injured. He didn't care about the fallen, but the loss of face enraged him!

He suddenly drew the six umbrellas on his back and tossed them all into the sky.

"Try this move again, a senbon technique with no blind spots! Ninjutsu: Senbon Shower!"

From the six opened umbrellas, countless senbon needles swept towards Qinglong like a level 12 hurricane and downpour, coming from all directions.

"He must die this time!"

This was the thought of the countless Amegakure ninja watching. With senbon needles raining down from all directions with no blind spots, a single umbrella couldn't possibly block it!

However, Qinglong in the center remained completely unfazed. Still with just one umbrella, he swung it around, forming a wall that water couldn't penetrate.

The ground was covered in a thick layer of steel needles, yet the youth in the center still stood, unfazed!

Even the leading Jonin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. This kid was no ordinary person!

But I'm no ordinary Jonin either!

"Hmph! Kid."

"You're done for!"

With a snap, the leading Jonin drew a Kunai and charged, the weapon piercing through the raindrops as it aimed straight for Qinglong's throat. He intended to kill this detestable brat with his own hands.

Qinglong's umbrella tilted slightly as one hand reached out.

Bang!

A collision, and a burst of water vapor erupted between them. A powerful shockwave, carrying raindrops, shot out in all directions. The leading Jonin of the Hidden Rain was instantly sent flying, crashing onto the rain-soaked street and sliding a considerable distance. He tumbled several times before hitting a wall, a truly pitiful sight.

The other Jonin had already started forming hand seals the moment the leader charged. Logically, their coordination was flawless. With the leader sent flying, he completed his seals!

"Water Style? Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

The street's rainwater surged, and a water dragon soared into the sky, roaring as it lunged at Qinglong.

Whoosh!

Qinglong put away his umbrella and threw it at the water dragon that had already lunged close.
