The moonlight is sparse and the fog is as old as ever.
Mei Terumi is like a dexterous cat, shuttling through the wet and cold forest.
Grandpa Genji was her last relative in this world. Now he died with hatred. As his last "relative" in the world, how could I not send him off on his last journey?
This is not only a responsibility, but also the last filial piety as a junior!
As for the danger?
Mei Terumi pursed his lips slightly.
What a joke! Who is she? She is the Shinobi World genius Mei Terumi who possesses two powerful Kekkei Genkais: Boil Release and Lava Release!
And after more than a month of hell-like "special training" by that devilish uncle Gonbei, she felt that she had been transformed, and now she was not even a little bit stronger.
Moreover, she is not going to avenge Grandpa Genji right now. She is just going to pay homage to Grandpa Genji secretly, and will go back immediately after paying homage to Grandpa Genji.
She left a note just to stabilize the uncle so that he would not make a fuss when he found out that she was missing.
After I finished worshiping Grandpa Genji, I immediately returned without anyone noticing.
Thinking of this, Mei Terumi's steps became a little lighter.
Along the way, she made full use of the stealth skills taught by Gonbei.
The toes point on the wet moss, making no sound; the body is covered by the shadow of the trees, like a ghost; the frequency of breathing is deliberately suppressed to the lowest, blending with the sound of the wind.
"Although that uncle is annoying, what he teaches is quite useful." Through this infiltration, Mei Terumi is equivalent to practicing the previous teaching.
Mei Terumi thought so, but quickly attributed the credit to himself.
"Of course, the main reason is that I am extremely talented and can learn everything quickly!"
Soon, a group of patrolling ninjas from Kirigakure passed by.
Mei Terumi's pupils shrank, almost instinctively, his body dwarfed, and he instantly leaned behind a huge ancient tree, while using Chakra to minimize his own aura.
This was a conditioned reflex developed by Gonbei when he was training her, using an unopened Kunai covered in mud and poking hundreds of muddy spots on her body.
Jonin, the leader of the patrol, seemed to have noticed something. He turned back sharply and scanned the area where Mei Terumi was hiding with his sharp eyes.
Mei Terumi's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
Her hand had already quietly touched the ninja bag on her waist, and the Chakra in her body began to surge, ready to give these guys a "surprise" with Boil Release at any time.
"Captain, what's wrong?" asked Chunin next to him.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm too nervous." The Jonin shook his head, "Let's go, be on guard. Master Yagura gave the order. Everyone has been smarter recently..."
The words that followed dissipated in the wind as they went away.
It wasn't until those few strands of Chakra completely disappeared from the range of perception that Mei Terumi breathed a sigh of relief, and his back was covered with cold sweat.
She patted her chest that was rising and falling violently, but her face showed a confident look.
"Tch, at this level, you still want to discover me? How naive!"
The closer you get to Kirigakure, the more solemn and solemn the atmosphere becomes.
The air seemed to be filled with the smell of blood.
Mei Terumi discovered that the fortifications outside the village were at least three times tighter than when she left. There were bright and hidden whistles, intertwined canines, and almost no blind spots.
"It seems that bastard Karatachi Yagura also knows that the death of grandpa Genji will definitely attract spies from other villages, so he strengthened the guards." Mei Terumi gritted his teeth, and the hatred in his eyes became even stronger.
But the more this happens, the more she wants to go in!
The cemetery of the Genji Clan is on the edge of a remote steep cliff on the east side of the village.
Mei Terumi didn't choose to break through the gate, which is no different from committing suicide.
She made a big circle and came to a cliff behind the cemetery.
The terrain here is steep and the rocks are rugged. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is almost impossible for anyone to climb up from here.
But this is exactly one of the projects that Gonbei trained her on.
Mei Terumi took a deep breath, concentrated his hands and feet on himself Lava Release Chakra, and melted a small hole on the mountain wall for climbing. At the same time, like Gecko, it clung to the slippery rock wall and slowly climbed up.
Under the moonlight, the girl's figure walks on the steep cliff as if walking on flat ground.
Half an hour later, Mei Terumi successfully scaled the cliff and landed quietly on the edge of the cemetery.
She succeeded!
She really sneaked in!
A huge sense of accomplishment and pride surged into my heart.
Calm down! Calm down!
Mei Terumi, you are a mature ninja, be steady!
She suppressed the excitement in her heart and took advantage of the moonlight at night to carefully touch the cemetery of the Genji Clan on the hillside.
When Mei Terumi finally "cautiously" touched Genji Clan's graveyard, he then stood in front of a newly erected tombstone.
On the tombstone, it is clearly engraved - "The Tomb of Kirigakure Genji".
There is no unnecessary epitaph, just like the old-fashioned grandpa's style.
Looking at the cold stone tablet, Mei Terumi's eyes instantly turned red.
The people who were still alive a few days ago are now all that is left is this cold stone monument.
She knelt down in front of the tomb with a "plop". She could no longer suppress the sadness in her heart, and her tears rolled down like broken beads.
"Genji Grandpa... I... I'm back to see you..."
She came back without any sacrifice this time. She knew it was a dangerous moment and did not dare to offer incense to Genji.
He could only kowtow three times in front of the tombstone, and his forehead hit the cold mud, making a dull sound.
"Grandpa, don't worry... I will definitely avenge you! I swear, one day, I will unscrew Karatachi Yagura's head with my own hands and use his blood to pay tribute to your spirit in heaven!"
The girl's vows echoed in the silent cemetery. Although the voice was not loud, it was full of deep-seated hatred and determination.
However, while she was immersed in grief and hatred, she did not notice that the thick fog around her had become thicker at some point, so thick that it was even abnormal.
He didn't even notice that black shadows, like ghosts, had silently surrounded the entire cemetery from the outside.
"Are you done?"
A cold, hoarse voice, like a poisonous snake spitting a message, suddenly sounded from behind Mei Terumi who was kneeling on the ground without warning.
Someone!!!
I was ambushed!!!
Mei Terumi was as stiff as if he had fallen into an ice cave!
She turned back sharply.
I saw a tall man with a Kirigakure Special Assassination and Tactical Squad unique mask on his face, standing less than three meters behind her at some point.
Behind him, as well as on the surrounding tombstones and treetops, figures appeared one after another, completely sealing the entire cemetery.
Those cold masks looked particularly ferocious under the pale moonlight.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Genji remnant."
The leader, Masked Man, let out a chuckle of unknown meaning. His eyes were like looking at a stupid rabbit that fell into a trap but didn't realize it.
