In a deserted and steep mountain range, Zhang Xuetao was standing on a hilltop and looking out.
Suddenly, when he saw a cliff, his eyes stopped and no longer looked in other directions.
Zhang Xuetao began to move towards the cliff. When he reached the bottom of the cliff, he attached the chakra on his feet to the stone wall and began to walk upward.
After a short while, they reached the middle of the cliff. Zhang Xuetao used his snake to instantly condense a spiral pill without hesitation, and blasted it against the cliff.
There was a loud bang, and stones flew to form a hole of about five meters. Without hesitation, Zhang Xuetao continued to bombard the hole with another spiral pellet.
Zhang Xuetao's continuous attacks opened a tunnel of more than 20 meters in the cliff, and opened up a space at the end of the tunnel.
This space is not too big, only about twenty cubic meters. Zhang Xuetao took out a space scroll, took out a coffin from it, and placed it in the center of the space.
After the coffin was placed, Zhang Xuetao began to use the sealing technique to implement it in this space.
This sealing technique plays the role of sealing space, which can isolate the perception and entry of the outside world.
The sealed spells appeared densely on the entire wall, and the ends of each point spread into the coffin. There were also dense spells inside the coffin.
It took Zhang Xuetao nearly a month to finish it. After finishing it, he stroked the coffin with his hand and said to himself: "This is the cemetery I made for myself, hahaha~"
He took out another space scroll. Bai's arm was sealed in this scroll. Zhang Xuetao stroked the scroll with his hand. After a long time, he put the scroll into the coffin.
After closing the coffin lid, Zhang Xuetao turned around and left. When he entered the tunnel, he stopped, couldn't help but look back at the coffin, frowned, and turned away again.
After walking out of the cave, Zhang Xuetao formed seals with his hands. He used earth escape to directly seal the cave and restore it to its original appearance.
Although Zhang Xuetao majored in water escape, he had also been in the human world for thirty or forty years and had already learned the earth escape technique. At least he still had the ability to restore this cave to its original state and prevent others from discovering what was inside.
.
After this matter was completed, Zhang Xuetao left this place. This time, he walked towards a crowded place. He was choosing, he was testing, and he wanted to accept new disciples.
While passing by a road, Zhang Xuetao suddenly encountered a robber, and this robber actually possessed chakra.
"Hey! Old man, hand over all your belongings to me. I will spare your life when the time comes, or I will send you to death now." The robber held a big knife in his hand and pointed at Zhang Xuetao and said.
At this time, a dozen boys behind the robber also shouted: "Hand over the money. Otherwise, I will cut you into pieces."
"Yes, hand it over, hand over the money." The boy behind him continued to shout.
Zhang Xuetao ignored the others, looked directly at the leader of the robbers, and said: "I can feel the chakra in your body. You are a ninja, why do you want to be a robber? Is it because of you?
Are you afraid of death?"
"Hahaha, afraid of death? I'm not afraid of death. I just have a new pursuit. As for you can feel the chakra in my body, it seems that you are also a ninja! Old man." The robber leader.
He spoke.
"What is your new pursuit? Tell me and let me hear it." Zhang Xuetao continued to ask.
The robber frowned, his face became gloomy, and he said angrily: "Looking at you, you can tell that you are half dead. Even if you are a ninja, how strong can you be at this time?
?Hand over your belongings obediently, I don’t have time to chat with you here.”
"Hehehe~"
Zhang Xuetao burst out laughing, which made the gloomy robber even more unhappy. The leader of the robbers shouted angrily: "Hey old man, don't be so fucking shameless."
At this time, Zhang Xuetao stopped laughing and said to the robber: "Come on, come on! Come over and let me see how much you weigh."
Zhang Xuetao's words instantly ignited the anger of the robber leader.
The leader of the robbers immediately began to form seals, and as he flipped his fingers, ripples began to appear on the surface of the small river not far away.
Zhang Xuetao glanced at the movements of his hands and knew what ninjutsu he was going to use.
Water Escape Technique, haha~ It actually has the same attributes as me.
Zhang Xuetao took the lead and completed the sealing action almost instantly. As the seals between the two of them ended, two water dragons formed in the river and began to strangle each other.
After all, Zhang Xutao has been doing this for thirty or forty years, so naturally he is not comparable to this robber who is in his twenties.
Zhang Xuetao easily strangled his water dragon to death.
When the robber leader saw that the ninjutsu was not successful and was destroyed by the old man in front of him, he immediately moved and rushed towards Zhang Xuetao.
Zhang Xuetao looked at his movements, nodded slightly, and thought to himself: The reaction was pretty good. Seeing that the ninjutsu had no effect, he started to use physical skills to deal with my old bones.
The two began to fight with each other instantly using physical skills. Although Zhang Xuetao's physical fitness has declined due to his age, he has already become proficient in his skills after fighting for so many years.
He nimbly dodged the attack from the robber, saw through the flaw in the robber leader's physical skills, and subdued him easily.
When the younger robbers saw that their bosses had been subdued, they all ran away without the slightest thought of rescuing them.
"Hahaha~ This is because my loyalty is a little low! Hahaha~" Zhang Xuetao said with a smile.
The robber leader struggled to escape, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't. He had no choice but to give up and snorted coldly: "Hey! Old man, what do you want to do?"
Letting go of the robber leader, Zhang Xuetao asked, "What's your name? Also, you said you have a pursuit. Tell me, what is this pursuit?"
The leader of the robbers rubbed his red arm that was held by Zhang Xuetao and glanced at Zhang Xuetao. He wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he said: "My name is Kato Ran, and I am from a ninja family."
"Over the years, the fighting between various countries has become more and more intense. Our family has lost too many people, especially the war a year ago, which directly resulted in me being the only one left in our family."
"I hate wars, and I found that the reason for starting wars is that the daimyo want to expand their territory. There is only one way to make there no more wars in the world. That is to make there only one country in the world."
"So I also want to become a famous person
, I will also defeat all the daimyo and unify the entire continent. Let there be no more wars in this world."
"Oh~ It's a shocking ideal, but what about you? You came to be a robber." Zhang Xuetao asked him doubtfully.
At this time, Katolan said helplessly: "There is no way, I have no money and no people, I only have diamonds as a robber to collect some funds and men. I thought I would defeat the nearby Flower Country after working for a while, and then compete in the world.
I didn’t expect it to be ruined by an old man like you.”
"Since it was destroyed, how about I give you a chance?" Zhang Xuetao asked with a smile.
"Watch? How to compensate? How much money do you want to give me?" Kato Ran asked directly, her tone was a little elevated.
Zhang Xuetao looked directly at Kato Ran and said, "How about I take you as my disciple and teach you ninjutsu?"
Kato Ran sneered: "The inheritance of Ninjutsu is family-based. The relationship between master and apprentice is not that strong. Can you sincerely teach me?"
Zhang Xuetao looked at the sunset in the distance, sighed, glanced at Katolan and said in a helpless tone: "Me! As you said, I am half buried in the ground. But for some reason, I didn't
Descendants."
Glancing at the shocked Katolan, Zhang Xuetao continued: "I will end the family inheritance now that it has passed. I have no choice but to recruit some apprentices to pass on the legacy."
"And the most important thing is that there is a big secret in my family. I can't tell you this secret now. I won't tell you until you become my apprentice and before I die."
"I can tell you something first. There will be no problem in unraveling this secret and unifying the entire continent."
"That's right, I still have a certain reputation in the ninja world. My name is Hirano Juichiro."
When Katolan heard Zhang Xuetao talking about Hirano Juichiro, he was immediately shocked. He widened his eyes and asked in a trembling voice: "Are you really Hirano Juichiro?"
"Of course, it will be replaced if it's fake." Zhang Xuetao said with a smile.
Zhang Xuetao has not continued to use the name Zhang Xuetao in the past few decades. After all, Zhang Xuetao's name in this world is too special.
Especially in this world, there are many immortal monsters, such as Hei Jue, such as that toad. Zhang Xuetao is very afraid that the appearance of his name at this time will affect him.
When Kato Lan knew that Zhang Xuetao was Hirano Shiichiro, he became Zhang Xuetao's apprentice without hesitation.
Although Zhang Xuetao's reputation is not top-notch, he is still ranked among the top 20 in the ninja world, and the fact that he has no descendants is also recognized by the ninja world.
In order to gain Zhang Xuetao's inheritance, many people tried their best to become Zhang Xuetao's disciple. However, since Zhang Xuetao accepted Yamutai, he has never had any disciples. Every time someone mentioned it, he was rejected.
But this time, the reason why Zhang Xuetao accepted Kato Lan as his disciple was not his talent or other reasons. The main and only reason was his ambition.
An ambition to unify the entire continent, and to realize that ambition, you need matching strength. And as long as there is desire, it can be manipulated.
And Zhang Xuetao didn't just accept Kato Ran as his disciple. Counting Yamutai, there were seven disciples in total. Each of the other six had very strong ambitions.
