Time flies, and the only things in this world that are fair to everyone and everything are death and time...

The once green young man has now reached the age where he needs to carry the banner on his own...

Time passed by in a flash, and it was already three years later. In a dense forest, several embarrassed figures were running crazily!

They were running away from the savage beasts behind them, or rather monsters! "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Who led the way, and why did they bump into those two monsters!"

Hearing the complaint from the leader running at the front, a younger brother who followed him gave a bitter smile and said, "Boss, this was no man's land three years ago. Who knows when it became a hiding place for these two monsters?"

It’s over…”

The leader who was running at the front snorted, and then gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, run quickly! You must not be caught by them! As long as you can escape, then sell the news that they are hiding here,

It can be exchanged for a large sum of money! There are many people who want their lives! The only way to pay for the sin of making me so embarrassed is with your lives!"

"Oh? That's right~ So, sir, what should you use to offset your sin of breaking into our chassis?"

A joking voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the leader who was fleeing. It sounded like a crisp young voice~

The startled leader suddenly turned his head and saw a huge figure appearing beside him. The direction he came from was the direction of the backlight, so he didn't see the shadow of this guy, but... such a huge figure.

How did the body come here so quietly? The surrounding area is not flat land, but dense woods!

You must know that even if they are lightly armed, they cannot advance quietly in a place like this, let alone wearing this monster-like armor.

Soon enough, the escaping leader of the ronin suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist, then swung his hand and slashed at the monster that appeared next to him like a ghost!

Facing the sudden attack from this ronin, the man in armor just calmly raised his hand and grasped the long knife that was coming with his bare hands!

A long knife that is not very sharp cannot break through the thick armor. Even if it is cut on the hand armor that is slightly thin to facilitate movement, it can only leave a shallow mark and cannot cause any damage at all...

Not only that, the palm covered with thick armor firmly clamped the sharp samurai sword, and the other palm wrapped in armor suddenly stretched out and grabbed the hand of the ronin holding the sword...

Amidst a heart-wrenching sound, the Ronin leader loosened his hand holding the weapon, and at the same time a painful wail came from his mouth!

Seeing the ronin howling loudly just because he grabbed his wrist, the man in armor couldn't help being stunned, then threw away the katana in his hand and said helplessly, "Does it hurt that much? Okay, okay, I'll let go a little bit."

One o'clock, please stop shouting~"

After saying that, the hand holding the ronin's arm loosened a little, and the wailing stopped. The leader of the ronin suddenly pulled out a short knife from his waist with his left hand, and then stabbed the gap in the armor in front of him.

!

Seeing the long knife sinking into the gap, the Ronin leader couldn't help but be overjoyed. He stared at the armor in front of him and shouted loudly, "Hey! Come here quickly! I'll kill this guy!"

What he responded to was a cold snort, "Humph... No need to shout. Just when you were shouting, your little brother was already taken care of..."

Hearing this sound, the Ronin leader couldn't help being startled. He quickly turned his head and looked behind him. The younger brothers who had been following him before were all lying on the ground without knowing it, and each of them had a stick inserted behind them.

Sharp darts…

And among these corpses, stood...another guy in funny armor. He was the one who got rid of his own men? With darts?

Thinking of this, the Ronin leader glanced stupidly at this guy's bulky gauntlet... It was hard to understand how he could still hit accurately when throwing darts while wearing this kind of armor.

Looking at the dazed Ronin leader, the guy wearing more rounded armor suddenly sneered, and then said lightly, "And you can kill her? How ridiculous! There must be a limit to overestimating one's abilities!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed the Ronin leader's arm and suddenly turned his head with a short knife stuck in the gap in the armor. He shouted displeasedly at the person standing among the corpses, "Hey! Why did you kill all the people again?"

died?"

The frightened Ronin leader suddenly turned his head and looked at the guy he stabbed with a horrified expression, "You...how is this possible? I should have..."

Before he could finish his words, a dart suddenly flew over and pierced directly into the neck of the Ronin leader...

The leader of the ronin who was talking tilted his head and his whole body went limp...

Looking at the ronin leader who died in front of him, the man in heavy armor couldn't help but be stunned. Then he sighed helplessly, threw away the corpse in his hand, and pulled out the short dagger inserted in the gap in his armor.

He threw the dart, and said helplessly to the companion who threw the dart, "Why do you say this? You killed this person again...have you killed too many people recently?"

Saying this, the man in heavy armor raised his hand and took off the helmet on his head, revealing the face hidden under the helmet. His long golden hair was tied behind his head, with six beard-like strands.

Facial lines grow on both sides of the cheeks, and a pair of blue eyes full of aura...

It is Naruko, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki whom Ash has been nursing for a long time~

Naruko took off her helmet and lowered her head to look at the blood stains on her helmet and armor. She looked at her companion not far away with a complaining expression and snorted in displeasure and said, "Look, it's stained again."

There’s blood! I have to wipe it myself later!”

"Hmph, you are still talking about me, but I want to ask you why you were stabbed into the armor by him with a knife?"

While talking, Sasuke, who was wearing heavy armor, also took off the round helmet on his head, and said seriously to Naruko who was not far away, "Your vigilance is too low! They are all carrying human lives on their bodies.

The ronin deserves to die, and if you let them leave, there will be endless troubles, and others will probably come to you. You don’t want to bring trouble to your home!"

Hearing Sasuke's words, Naruko lowered her head helplessly, looked at the corpses on the ground, smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, okay, I understand, it's true... you only let me go without holding back every time."

Being demonized by these people together with you..."

Looking at Naruko who was wiping the blood stains on her helmet and complaining, Sasuke sighed helplessly and said, "The reason why we are demonized and why we are called Twin Ghosts by the outside world is not me, but you...

Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore, it’s almost time to go back.”

After speaking, Sasuke, who was wearing heavy armor, put the helmet back on his head, and then disappeared without a trace like a puff of smoke.

Naruko also pouted, then jumped up angrily and disappeared from the spot, leaving only a body with darts stuck on the body and a tachi that was pinched and bent out of shape...

Naruko, who chased after Sasuke, looked at Sasuke beside her, and suddenly sighed softly and said, "I don't know when Grandpa Ashes will come back, and why he left without saying goodbye..."

"It's not important. The key now is how to make yourself stronger. Don't think about what you have and don't have. When you practice, you should concentrate on practice..."

Looking at the indifferent Sasuke, Naruko snorted and said sarcastically, "Huh! As you said, I don't work as hard as you. If you work very hard, why do you still wear one when I have taken off all the rings now?"

Where are the coins?"

Sasuke turned his head helplessly and glanced at the arrogant and unreasonable Naruko behind him. He smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do about this kind of thing..."

As they were talking, the two people who were wearing overweight armor and moving quickly through the woods suddenly changed their expressions at the same time. The speeding figure suddenly stopped the car and stopped behind a huge tree...

Sasuke, who was frowning, slowly turned his head. After listening for a while, he whispered to Naruko next to him, "Listen to the footsteps... there is only one person."

Naruko nodded slightly, then looked around and then lowered her voice and responded, "We didn't notice it before, and the traps around us weren't triggered. How did we get here! You know, this place is...

"

"Shhh... keep your voice down. No matter how you got here, it's definitely not a good thing. Be careful and don't alert others!"

Hearing Sasuke's serious tone, Naruko nodded slightly, clenched her fists and nodded lightly at Sasuke and said, "The old way...but don't kill people directly!"

Sighing softly, Sasuke nodded helplessly and said softly, "Okay..."

As soon as Sasuke finished speaking, Naruko moved, lowered her body, and quickly emerged from behind the huge tree. Naruko, who was wearing heavy armor, rushed towards them like a heavy tank.

a person perceived.

A woman wearing a black robe, wandering around here aimlessly, looks very beautiful, but Naruko will not underestimate the enemy. This is her and Sasuke's stronghold, surrounded by traps, and now this woman suddenly appears here

Here, none of the traps were triggered, which was enough to attract Naruko's attention...

Clara, who was wandering around, couldn't help but be startled when she saw the heavily armored warrior suddenly emerging from behind the big tree, and then tilted her head in surprise. This style of painting... why does it look so inconsistent~

While Clara was dazed, Naruko had already rushed in front of Clara, put her clenched fists together, and punched Clara on the head from top to bottom!

Although there were some doubts in her heart, Clara was also a battle-hardened spellcaster, so it was naturally impossible for her to be disrupted by such a surprise attack.

Looking at the fists falling towards her head, Clara raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and then raised her hand without hesitation. A ball of fan light burst out from Clara's hands. Naruko's body, which was maintaining a charging posture, suddenly

A lag…
