The moment he saw Qian instantly see through his Genjutsu, Ghost simply stopped wasting Chakra and cut off the technique.
Gradually, the laughter in the field vanished.
Only then did the Leaf Village Chunin lower their hands, but the expressions on their faces still showed lingering fear.
Qian, on the other hand, remained as calm as ever. He was in no hurry to make a move. Instead, he looked at Ghost and asked again, "Why are you looking for me?"
"Why? For money, of course!"
Ghost showed no intention of hiding it and said bluntly, "Someone put a bounty on your head in the Black Market. I'm just the first."
"The Black Market?"
Qian murmured, then muttered, "So you really are a Bounty Ninja..."
In truth, the moment he noticed that the other party bore no insignia of any ninja village and was dressed nothing like an Anbu ninja, he had already roughly guessed his identity.
Moreover, he had even roughly guessed who had put up the bounty behind the scenes.
If nothing unexpected had happened, it should be Ōnoki. The man had always liked using outside forces to solve his village's problems.
Later, the rise of the Akatsuki Organization had owed no small part to him.
In that case, using Bounty Ninja now to get rid of him was completely normal.
Qian had another piece of evidence for this as well.
This place was located at the center of the battlefield. Without secret help from Konoha or Iwagakure, it would have been impossible for anyone to pass through layer upon layer of blockade and arrive here.
Konoha?
Not very likely.
Even Danzo, in the current situation, could not possibly make a move against him. At the very least, he would have to use up Qian's remaining value before acting.
