Black Mountain mining area, Base 3.
Izayoi is standing in a quiet forest. This forest is only six to seven hundred meters away from the mining area. For Jonin like her, she can easily run through it in just a few blinks of an eye.
Most of the time, the work in the mining area is very boring. After all, it is impossible to have thorny prisoners all the time for supervisors to have fun. Therefore, most supervisors will develop some hobbies and kill time after work.
For example, the base director who manages Base 3 - Upper Samurai Sirius, will find a few people with similar interests and go ice fishing on a nearby ice lake, sometimes for a whole day.
Some people like to play cards and chess, some like woodworking and carving, and some like to raise small animals... Although Izayoi occasionally joins in, most of the time, she devotes her free time to practicing and exercising.
Having experienced war, she knows very well the importance of strength.
This forest, which is covered with snow all year round, is a training ground that she often visited after coming to the Black Mountain mining area.
There is no one here, and the terrain is relatively flat. If outsiders break in, they can be seen from a long distance.
There are about twenty wooden piles erected around it. The number of wooden piles in each direction is inconsistent, and the distance between them and Izayoi is completely irregular. Some are even hidden in blind spots that are invisible to the naked eye.
The only thing they had in common was that the distance between these wooden stakes and her was at least fifteen meters, and each wooden stake had a wooden target nailed to it.
Each target is close to the size of a human head, with an eye-catching red solid circle marked in the center.
These wooden stakes are just one of Izayoi's training props. On the nearby snow-covered ground and trees, you can still vaguely see the mechanisms that have been set up in advance. On each mechanism, there are several Kunai arranged neatly.
Although these mechanisms are scattered around, there is an extremely long steel wire that connects these mechanisms in series. Just cut the steel wire to activate all these mechanisms and continuously attack Izayoi in the encirclement.
Izayoi opened a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and scanned the surrounding area with his scarlet eyes, taking in the red hearts of the wooden stakes and the densely packed ejection mechanisms around them, and took a slight breath.
Then she took out a standard Shuriken from her ninja tool bag, and without hesitation aimed at the steel wire of the series mechanism. With a wave of her arm, Shuriken turned into a stream of light and flew out, cutting the steel wire.
Whoosh.
Countless Kunai shot out from all directions, like a dark rainstorm, forming a trap with no blind spots, tightly surrounding Izayoi.
Izayoi jumped up from the ground. After moving her body, the place where she originally stood was filled with a large number of Kunai.
The sound of metal clashing continued in the air. Izayoi held Kunai with both hands, either slashing upwards, lifting downwards, or swinging horizontally, knocking away all the Kunais that were ejected from around them.
After fending off the first round of attacks, Izayoi immediately threw Kunai away, hitting sparks in mid-air to change the original trajectory. With two thumps, it instantly hit the red hearts of two wooden stakes located in the blind spots.
This series of actions was completed in just a moment.
After Izayoi landed, he did the same thing again, took out Kunai, fended off the Kunai flying mechanisms from all around, and then flung Kunai out like lightning, deeply embedded in the target red heart of the wooden stake.
She must dodge and block the airtight rainstorm attack around her, and also use Kunai or Shuriken in the stormy Kunai rain attack to attack the red hearts of the surrounding wooden stakes.
Bang bang!
With a few crisp vibrations, the mechanism underneath the four wooden stakes was activated. It was a concealed ejection device that immediately ejected the wooden stake with the red heart target on it.
The wooden pile suddenly changed from static to dynamic.
Not only that, the Kunai rain offensive from the surrounding agencies still never stopped, giving Izayoi no chance to breathe.
Just facing such a scene, Izayoi still showed no panic on his face. The three Tomoes among the scarlet Sharingans rotated slightly, and with their powerful and sharp dynamic vision, they instantly saw through the loopholes in Kunai's rain offensive, and clearly captured the movement trajectory of the wooden stakes after ejection.
Use your agile body skills to dodge all Kunai, Izayoi seize this unmissable gap, and use your hands to quickly Hand Seals.
"Fire Release·Great Fireball Technique!"
A heat wave spurted out from Izayoi's mouth, and the fireballs emitted were not one, but four.
Each fireball has a diameter of more than four meters, and it accurately sweeps towards the four wooden piles moving in mid-air.
The blazing high temperature melted the surrounding snow in Setsuna, evaporating large amounts of white water vapor. The four wooden piles moving at high speed in mid-air were immediately swallowed up by the flying fireball.
After the fireball disappeared, only black ash residue remained in the air, with scattered sparks floating down from the sky.
Izayoi At this time, he stood upright and looked at the conditions of the wooden piles around him.
In addition to the four wooden stakes that were ejected into the air and turned into ashes, every wooden stake on the ground had either a Kunai or a Shuriken inserted into the red heart of the target, proving that all the 'kills' were completed, and no one was missed.
"Wonderful."
Suddenly a voice came from behind, causing Izayoi to immediately take out Kunai again and turn around to look back warily.
An eight-legged cat-faced spider with snow-white hair appeared in Izayoi's Sharingan vision.
Cat? Spider?
Izayoi was slightly startled, wondering if this was a cat or a spider.
I saw its fluffy, snow-white fur covering its round cat face, and its sapphire-like eyes showing a bit of agility.
The eight legs are slender and well-proportioned, stably supporting the body, and every move is filled with indescribable elegance and beauty, without the gloomy and slimy feeling of ordinary spiders at all.
For a moment, Izayoi felt that this strange animal had inexplicably touched her soft heart. She couldn't help but want to hold it in her arms and rub its soft and round cat face.
"You are..."
"Hello, you are Miss Uchiha Izayoi, right? I am Yukino of the Tsuchigumo Clan, and I am Summoning Beast who signed a contract with Lord Yayoi."
Before Izayoi could be surprised, Yukino made a cute yet seductive voice and took out a folder from the backpack on his back.
It used its two legs covered with snow-white fluff to hold the folder firmly and handed it to the front of Izayoi.
"This is what Master Yayoi asked me to give to Miss Izayoi. Please keep it."
After Izayoi heard it, he did not pick it up immediately. Instead, he used Sharingan to scan the folder a few times. After confirming that there was no trap spell on it, he lowered his body slightly and took the folder handed over by Yukino.
Yukino couldn't help but praise Izayoi's calm and cautious attitude.
Although she is young, the caution and attentiveness shown by Izayoi is enough to prove that she is not a newcomer, but an elite ninja who has truly experienced cruel fighting on the battlefield.
From Izayoi's training method just now, it can also be seen that it is an actual combat simulation based on the complex melee situation on the battlefield.
If you make one mistake or hesitate during the process, it will be impossible for Izayoi to dodge and bounce away from all Kunai, let alone to accurately 'kill' all the wooden stakes in the dense and changeable traps.
"I have delivered the things. So, Miss Izayoi, we will meet again in the future."
Yukino raised one leg, as if giving a 'waving' signal, then left a cloud of white smoke on the spot and disappeared.
Izayoi was about to open his mouth when he saw the white smoke remaining in Yukino's place, and had to swallow the prepared words back into his stomach.
She originally wanted to say that she still had a lot of 'cat food' there, so she could entertain it... However, this creature shouldn't be considered a cat. I wonder if it can eat cat food?
Izayoi This strange thought came to mind, then he shook his head and focused on the folder.
She did not open the folder immediately, but returned to the stone rest room of the base, sat down in front of the desk in the bedroom, and then opened the folder slowly.
In addition to the report documents she returned, there are also some scattered items.
What surprised her the most was an exquisitely crafted black handheld camera that came with instructions and a stack of photo paper.
"This is a camera. It turns out to be used like this. Press this button and you can capture the image immediately... It seems to be quite simple to use."
Izayoi is not stupid. Although it was his first time contacting him, he quickly figured out how to use the camera.
Then she took out the returned report document, turned it to the back, and clearly saw a few lines of messages from Yayoi to her.
--...
--I have never seen the sunrise in the Northeast. By the way, I also want to see what a white bear looks like.
--I'm sorry that I didn't reply before, because I was too busy. So can you send me some Izayoi photos of you? That way, I can always keep you in my hand.
--...
"..."
After reading it, Izayoi's face couldn't help but feel slightly hot.
Not only did he want her photo, but he also said he wanted to hold her in the palm of his hand...
Izayoi Suddenly remembered the sentence he wrote, which seemed even more embarrassing than this one.
Whenever you think of General watching, your body will feel warm...
"Ah! Ah!! No! I can't stand it anymore! My head... my brain is going to be broken! Forget it! Forget it quickly!"
Bang bang bang!
Izayoi kept banging on the table while letting out a scream of shame that resounded throughout the bedroom.
She could never imagine what mistake she made at that time to write such disgusting words on paper and use them to seduce men.
Go to hell! Go to hell!
I, who wrote those words, should quickly commit suicide and apologize!
Izayoi is heartbroken.
After a long time, Izayoi raised his head from the table. His long, smooth hair was now like weeds, and his forehead was even redder.
It was as if he had lost an important soul, his eyes were empty and lifeless.
"It's really an exaggeration to talk about love. Are these really human beings talking?"
Izayoi murmured to herself, looking sideways to the side of the desk, where there was a pile of materials she used for reference, which were all relatively popular romance books on the market--
<Marriage first, love later: Overbearing Daimyo falls in love with me>
<Little sweetie, don't run away, female Daimyo regrets it>
<She runs away, he chases her, but she can't fly>
<Woman: Man, you interest me>...
Just seeing the name of the book, Izayoi felt suffocated and couldn't breathe.
She reached out and scratched her hair. Her scalp was really itchy.
The toes in the ninja shoes are constantly digging and digging, and can even tear the soles.
The guy who can come up with this kind of book title must be beyond human beings.
"Woooo..."
Izayoi made a pitiful and frantic whimpering sound, scratching his hair while holding a book for reference, and then at a certain important point, his forehead banged against the table without any warning.
The sounds of "go die" and "go die" kept coming out of his mouth.
It was as if doing so would temporarily wake her up from the numb quagmire.
(Go to bed early today. You don't have to wait until 0 o'clock. You also go to bed early. The update will be around 12 noon tomorrow.
The next chapter is mainly about hooking up with Izayoi. It won't be too long, and some other plots will be interspersed with it. After all, the real emotional drama between the male and female protagonists is after marriage.)
