Qian Yun's Bounty Notice

Every Hidden Stone ninja in the unit chuckled, and the afro-haired jonin spoke.

"Kid, since you came from Konoha Village, have you seen my companions?"

Qian Yun answered shakily, "Well, actually, I came from Hidden Rain Village!

And I was bragging just now. I'm not an official genin at all, just an unregistered special medical genin!

My mission this time was to gather medicinal herbs. I passed by Hidden Rain Village and found that they were fighting there, so I took a detour and came this way!"

The Hidden Stone ninjas muttered among themselves, seemingly verifying the information.

A moment later, the afro-haired jonin smiled. "Don't be afraid, kid. We of Hidden Stone never kill medical ninjas. Every ninja who lived through the last Shinobi World War knows that!

Now, relax slowly. Once I read your memories and confirm that you weren't lying, I'll let you go!"

Qian Yun's eyes widened, and he put on a terrified expression.

"You... what you're doing violates the Shinobi World Convention!"

Hehehehe...

The Hidden Stone ninjas laughed, apparently not caring about the Shinobi World Convention at all.

It seemed that none of the major ninja villages cared. Only Konoha Village followed the rules on the surface.

Whoosh!

Qian Yun suddenly vanished in a Body Flicker.

The Hidden Stone ninja unit was shocked. The distance of Qian Yun's Body Flicker showed that he was definitely no ordinary genin.

Just as the afro-haired jonin was about to send people after him, he suddenly scratched his butt, feeling an unbearable itch deep in his rear.

And the chakra in his body suddenly became incomparably chaotic.

At the same time, the entire Hidden Stone ninja unit began scratching their butts one after another. Then someone suddenly cried out.

"I remember now! This white-haired Konoha brat recently made it onto Hidden Sand's bounty list!"

After saying that, the man quickly rummaged through his ninja tool pouch. Soon after, Qian Yun's bounty notice was found.

[Qian Yun: Konoha special medical genin, alias Evil Doctor. Skilled in Water Release, virus attacks, spreading rumors, and escape techniques. Bounty: 3 million ryo.]

"Damn it! Everyone, hunt down Konoha's Evil Doctor!

Otherwise, not only will we fail our war mission, but every one of us will die!"

After roaring that, the afro-haired jonin immediately took the lead in pursuit.

The three hundred ninjas had no choice but to hurry after him. Quite a few genin had already been hit and could no longer run.

"Wait! Kura, wait a second!"

The afro-haired jonin was extremely fast. He actually caught up to Qian Yun within five minutes.

Qian Yun was badly frightened and immediately pushed Flesh Release: Giant Hemorrhoids with all his might.

However, in the next instant, Qian Yun discovered in horror that his mark had vanished.

He could only flee desperately with Body Flicker, quickly entering the desert.

Yet three minutes later, Qian Yun was still blocked by eight jonin.

Qian Yun shouted angrily, "Don't push me, or I won't be polite!"

The afro-haired jonin roared, "Won't be polite? So you're saying you can take us down?"

This guy looked down on people through his nostrils, and his fists cracked loudly as he clenched them.

Qian Yun suddenly shouted, "Great Overlord of the Sand, descend! Let your enemies witness your power!"

At Qian Yun's shout, the Hidden Stone jonin immediately went on guard, not knowing what terrifying being he would summon.

Boom!

The space before Qian Yun suddenly twisted, and the Scorpion King was thrown out.

Screee...

The moment the Scorpion King emerged, it let out a piercing shriek. Then it released scorching heat, and the surrounding yellow sand gradually turned red.

At the same time, the Scorpion King sent out an angry thought.

"Idiot, you can't use the Great Quicksand Technique while fighting at the edge of the desert. You'd better pray for yourself!"

After cursing him, the Scorpion King swung its massive tail in a sweeping strike. Qian Yun immediately turned and ran for his life.

The Hidden Stone ninjas wanted to give chase, but the Scorpion King was so enormous that it easily blocked all eight of them.

However, the Hidden Stone ninjas were not stupid. They split up and ran around both sides, then turned back to pursue Qian Yun.

The Scorpion King chased the Hidden Stone ninjas, while the Hidden Stone ninjas desperately pursued Qian Yun.

A trail of dust rose over the desert. A ninja hawk swept through the sky, then immediately flew toward a certain direction in the desert.

The afro-haired man was very fast, and he closed in on Qian Yun once more.

Only then did Qian Yun finally remember who he was: Gari, the Hidden Stone Explosion Release ninja.

This was troublesome.

Bang!

Qian Yun threw out a smoke bomb. Gari immediately flashed aside, his combat experience proving just as impressive.

However, in the next instant, Qian Yun sensed his Flesh Release mark again.

Activate it.

Urgh...

Gari grunted, then quickly formed hand seals. Qian Yun's Flesh Release mark vanished again.

So that was it. They could not erase the virus mark. They were using a technique to suppress it, and the suppression was lasting less and less time.

Qian Yun threw out several more smoke bombs. Just as he was about to widen the distance with all his strength, Gari suddenly charged forward, intending to subdue Qian Yun in one move.

Biu.

Without even looking back, Qian Yun extended his index finger behind him and fired a Water Gun Technique.

It struck him right in the heart!

Gari stopped, and his pupils rapidly dilated.

Ninjas were sometimes like that. After spending an entire lifetime assassinating others, they would ultimately die at the hands of an obscure nobody.

Qian Yun rushed over to drag out his soul, crushed it in a few motions, and then swiftly sealed the corpse.

However, although Qian Yun was already moving at top speed, the pursuers behind him still caught up.

Qian Yun regretted it a little. Why was he still collecting bloodline limit blood samples at a time like this?

He turned and ran for his life again, desperately activating Flesh Release: Giant Hemorrhoids.

The seven people behind him were no weaker than Gari. They had just sensed how Gari had been hit, so none of them dared get too close.

Just as Qian Yun was considering how to kill those seven, he suddenly sensed chakra fluctuations beneath the sand ahead.

Good. He would lure them over. Maybe there would be an unexpected surprise.

When Qian Yun stepped onto a patch of dunes, he suddenly turned into a pile of yellow sand and scattered away.

A sand clone was very useful, especially in the desert.

The Hidden Stone ninjas were somewhat dumbfounded. However, in the next instant, they were horrified.

Sand Release: Great Quicksand Technique.

Hidden Sand ninjas had been lying in ambush, and the ones ambushing them were young as well.

Maki and Yura of Hidden Sand had been sent out to keep watch, and they had already been unhappy about it.

Now that they had encountered their mortal enemies from Hidden Stone, they would be letting down the audience if they did not ambush them.

Qian Yun escaped, while Maki and Yura began fighting the Hidden Stone jonin.

However, they had underestimated the strength of jonin. The Hidden Stone ninjas joined forces to break free from the Great Quicksand Technique, then immediately tried to kill Maki and Yura.

Yet the moment they erupted with chakra, they discovered two terrifying presences bearing down on them.

Granny Chiyo and Ebizō had arrived, along with a Hidden Sand ninja unit.

One hundred against seven. The seven had nowhere to run and were killed in an instant by a coordinated assault.

At that moment, the desert ninja hawk reported again. It said that a three-hundred-man Hidden Stone ninja unit was force-marching through the desert with a Scorpion King.

Granny Chiyo said solemnly, "It seems the news of Shukaku's escape has already leaked. Hidden Stone has temporarily changed its direction of advance!

This time, we must hit them hard. Otherwise, that stubborn old fool Onoki will definitely send more people over!"

Yura curled his lip and muttered, "Couldn't you just write him a letter and tell him not to send people into the desert?"

At first, Granny Chiyo did not understand. It was only when the young ninjas around them began laughing that her face filled with rage.

Bang!

A flick to the forehead sent a shiny swollen bump rising on Yura's head.
