The Ninja Hunters' Ninja, the Xuanyuan Group

"Grandpa, look, this is all the money we have..." Itachi held out the meager one thousand taels to Tianqi.

"You have the nerve to rob people with such little money? You three are complete idiots!" Seeing that they only had so little money, Tianqi slapped each of them across the face.

"Brother, if we had money, we wouldn't be robbing people. Please, have mercy!"

"That makes some sense. I'm in a good mood today and don't want to lower myself to your level. You can stay hanging here. If you're capable, come down yourselves; if not, wait for someone to rescue you. Whether you live or die depends on yourselves. Itachi, keep going, don't stop!"

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianqi took off, while Itachi continued running forward. As for the three robbers who had blocked the road, they were left hanging from a tree, on the verge of tears.

The three continued their journey, and finally, three days later, they arrived at the Country of Cedar, a small country located at the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Iron. Although this country was very small, it had its own ninja villages and ninjas.

In a place called Tuo Mountain in the Country of Cedar, Tianqi and his two companions were looking at the shattered boulders on the mountainside.

"Hehe, it seems Tsunade is in a nearby town!" Tianqi smiled as he looked at the broken stones in front of him.

"Grandpa, how did you know Grandma was nearby?"

"There are two methods. The first is perception. My perception is extremely strong; I can sense the location of a target even from thousands of miles away. Of course, this is on the premise that the other party hasn't used any shielding methods. The second method is that there are still traces of your Tsunade Chakra here. She definitely hasn't gone far and is probably nearby!"

"Oh, I see!" After hearing Tianqi's words, Itachi was also very shocked. To be able to sense someone from thousands of miles away, his grandfather's perception was simply too terrifying.

Meanwhile, Karura, who was about to meet Tianqi's legitimate wife, was also very nervous. What if Tianqi's wife did not want to accept her? Moreover, judging from the broken stones, Tianqi's wife seemed to be a bit irritable.

Tianqi seemed to have seen through Karura's thoughts, and he said calmly, "Don't worry, Karura, Tsunade isn't the kind of person who holds grudges. Leave everything to me to persuade her!"

"Um!"

"Alright, the person we're looking for is nearby. It's getting dark, and we must find Tsunade today. Let's go!" Tianqi waved his hand and continued on his way.

This time, he didn't choose to fly, but instead chose to walk with Itachi. It wouldn't be so safe outside the Land of Fire, and to avoid being attacked and for Itachi's safety, Tianqi felt it was better to travel together.

Half an hour into their journey, Tianqi suddenly stopped, while Karura tightly protected Itachi behind him.

Itachi was puzzled by this sudden action, but he didn't say anything and just watched quietly. He knew his grandparents must have their reasons for doing this.

"Heh, hiding here and lying in ambush is no fun. Come out!" Tianqi sneered. Anyone who dared to lie in ambush here was dreaming.

However, after a while, no one responded to Tianqi's words. Seeing this, Tianqi frowned slightly and said impatiently, "What's wrong? Can't you hear what I'm saying? Do I have to drag you out one by one?"

Then, finally, a clear, ethereal voice rang out.

"Heh heh heh, you actually managed to detect our presence, you're not bad at all. But you're not our target, so you'd better not cause any trouble!"

"Finally speaking, huh? But isn't it a bit impolite to talk from a distance like this? Let's come out and meet you!" Tianqi's eyes narrowed slightly. He had to admit that these guys were really good at hiding, but he still managed to figure out their approximate location.

"Kid, don't go too far. If it weren't for a mission, do you think you'd still be standing here unharmed? Don't be a liar!"

"Heh, how arrogant! No one has ever dared to speak to me like that before. Today I'm going to court death. Since you don't want to come out, then I'll force you to show yourself!" With that, Tianqi activated his Rinnegan.

"Asura Path!" Tianqi immediately summoned the aid of future technology. A mechanical arm instantly grew out of Tianqi's shoulder, and as the arm's mechanism was activated, countless Chakra bullets were launched.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

As Tianqi unleashed his Chakra Cannon attack, the five people hiding in the forest finally revealed themselves. They had no choice but to show themselves; the Chakra Cannon's power was simply too great, and the attack density was too high. If they didn't come out, they would be finished.

Tianqi looked at the five people who had appeared with curiosity. The five were all about the same height and were wearing the same clothes, so it was obvious that they were an organized group. Most importantly, they all had a fluffy fur coat wrapped around their waists, which trailed behind them like a tail.

"Oh, this really does have a Super Saiyan vibe!" Tianqi looked at the five people's tail-like appendages with great curiosity.

"Who exactly are you? Someone with such a powerful attack can't be an ordinary person. Give me your name!"

"When asking someone what they are, shouldn't you state your own name first?" Seeing that these five people were quite strong, Tianqi also started to have wicked ideas.

"We are the Xuanyuan Group, who exactly are you?"

"Xuanyuan Group? That sounds familiar. Wait a minute, let me think about it. My mind is full of things, I can't find your information right now. Give me thirty seconds!" Tianqi said, ignoring whether the others agreed or not, and began to think while stroking his chin.

The five members of Xuanyuan Group also twitched at the corner of their mouths. "Damn, is this guy out of his mind? If it weren't for his strength, they would have rushed up long ago."

Karura and Itachi were speechless at the sight. Good grief, trying to find each other's information right in front of each other when they were at odds—that's something else entirely.

Tianqi ignored all of that and kept searching for information about Xuanyuan Group in his memories.

"Xuanyuan Group, Xuanyuan Group... Ah, I've got it! You're the Xuanyuan Group ninjas who specialize in Hunter Ninja, right? Oh, I finally remember! So it's you five guys who possess secret Ninjutsu. No wonder you guys seem pretty formidable!"

After recalling the information about Xuanyuan Group, Tianqi was very satisfied. He was just short of a few henchmen, and having these guys would make things much more convenient.

"Now that you know who we are, tell us your name!"

"Alright, alright. I am Uchiha Tianqi. How about it, are you guys interested in joining me?" Tianqi didn't beat around the bush and asked directly if anyone wanted to follow him.
