Chapter 165

"I will have my revenge!"she said with hatred in her voice.

"Heh."Kuchiki Senya sneered, "You have no chance."

"I will make sure you die without a place to be buried. I will make you pay!"Nakamura Fune glared viciously at Kuchiki Senya, her eyes wet and filled with venom.

"Rest assured, I will send you on your way soon. You need not be in such a hurry."A cruel smile curled Kuchiki Senya's lips; he then turned and walked slowly toward the depths of Haidao.

"No matter what you are, one day I will kill you with my own hands."Nakamura Fune vowed silently in her heart.

"Hey! Hey! Don't leave me behind!"

Just then, Kuchiki Senya suddenly stopped. He turned back, looked at Nakamura Fune, and said, "I have not forgotten what I promised that old man back then. If you can do it, I might consider taking you in. If you cannot, then get lost."

"Cannot do it? What if I cannot? What can you do to me!"

"You don't have to do the mission?"

"You—"Nakamura Fune was left speechless. She gritted her teeth, looked at Kuchiki Senya, and finally sighed, saying, "I will do it, I will do it. But you must tell me, can I actually do it or not?"

"Good."Kuchiki Senya nodded and said, "This mission is simple. Help me catch a person, and he can live. Go back to your room and rest for one night. Tomorrow morning, I will take you there."

After Kuchiki Senya finished speaking, his figure vanished into the darkness.

Watching Kuchiki Senya's departing back, Nakamura Fune clenched her fists tightly, her silver teeth gritted. Her eyes were cold yet resolute.

"Who do you think you are!"she muttered coldly, then swayed as she stood up and stumbled toward her room.

After she left, at the edge of the Rotting Forest, in a hidden spot, a dim green figure quietly emerged and coalesced into form.

"My lord, why did you not kill her directly?"A black-haired youth asked, somewhat puzzled. Just now, they had all seen clearly that Kuchiki Senya merely waved his hand casually and extinguished that flame.

Kuchiki Senya said, "Although that flame was not released by me, I can feel it is very special. This should be a power unique to Edo Tensei."

The black-haired youth asked in confusion, "My lord, should we then..."

"Not for now. Once this matter is over, I will have you undergo a new cycle."Kuchiki Senya said.

"Thank you, my lord."The black-haired youth said excitedly.

"Alright, hurry up and follow them."

"As you command!"

Afterwards, that black-haired youth also turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished into the air.

"Edo Tensei again..."Kuchiki Senya narrowed his eyes, a strange glint flashing in his pupils. From Nakamura Fune's memories, he knew that Edo Tensei was a special forbidden technique. Edo Tensei requires consuming a vast amount of Yin-Yang chakra, and simultaneously demands extremely strict mental strength from the caster. The only drawback of this forbidden technique is that the caster dies once every three years. If a second casting is not performed within three years, the caster will completely scatter their soul and never be reborn. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, very few people are willing to use this forbidden technique.

After being brought back by Edo Tensei, Nakamura Fune could actually maintain a clear consciousness and control her own body, which was quite rare.

"The power within her body seems very similar to my Yin-Yang Release power."Kuchiki Senya murmured.

"I wonder if there will be new changes after I absorb her power?"His heart pounded, and he was extremely excited inside. If it was really as he guessed, perhaps he could use that power to increase his strength!

Thinking this, Kuchiki Senya flashed his figure and quickly chased after them.

On the sea surface, waves surged, and the surf crashed against the reefs, emitting a series of booming sounds.

On the sea surface, five huge warships were sailing toward the distance, while several people on the deck were talking to each other.

"This time our luck is good; we actually met a beauty."A man with bulging muscles and a ferocious face chuckled lecherously, his gaze scanning the women on the coastline ahead without restraint.

Beside him, another fellow who looked like a skinny monkey chuckled, "I heard that woman is not only beautiful, but her figure is also great, and she is even a swordsman."

126. Probably facing a grim fate.

The burly man rubbed his chin and chuckled, "This time we've made a huge profit!"

Just then, that short youth said, "Do not be careless. That woman is a swordsman after all. We must go all out, otherwise we will definitely suffer losses."

"Rest assured. Even if that woman is a swordsman, she absolutely cannot defeat us."The burly man said.

"I heard that woman's strength has reached the level of a Chunin."The man who looked like a skinny monkey said.

"Hmph, I am a swordsman at the peak of Chunin. Can I not even defeat a single swordsman?"The burly man snorted coldly, a ferocious light appearing in his eyes.

"Alright, stop arguing."The short man frowned and said, "Our mission is to find the target as soon as possible and then bring him to 'my lord'."

Upon hearing this, the other four fell silent.

"My lord is truly amazing! He even managed to retrieve something so dangerous."The burly man suddenly said, "Now we are saved."

"That's right!"The short man said, "Once we get into 'my lord's' hands, we can obtain even stronger power, and even be able to cultivate Sage Mode!"

"Sage Mode?"The burly man and the other two immediately showed a fanatical expression.

"Yes. It is said that Sage Mode is a power that only legendary gods can control, with terrifying might capable of shattering an entire island. If we obtain that power, we will be able to destroy this world!"The short man said.

The burly man laughed heartily and said, "We will definitely accomplish it. At that time, we can establish our own kingdom, become kings and dominate, and become the overlords of this sea!"

"No, what we want to dominate is the Shinobi World!"

"The Shinobi World?"The burly man said in surprise.

"That's right, the Shinobi World!"

"This is the Shinobi World created by the great Ninja King, the Six Paths Sage."The short man's eyes turned red, "Now, the Shinobi World is about to reappear in the human world."

The eyes of the other three also showed a burning passion, their faces flushed red, as if they had fallen into a state of madness.

Kuchiki Senya followed all the way. Seeing that they were getting closer to their destination, he no longer hid. His speed increased several times, instantly crossing a hundred meters to arrive before those five huge sailing ships.

Hanging on the masts of the five sailing ships were five wooden plaques, respectively written with 'Konoha Merchant Caravan', 'Fuma Merchant Association', and 'Iwagakure Alliance'.

At this moment, a total of seven ninjas were guarding on the deck of the sailing ships, staring alertly at the surroundings.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared out of thin air, scaring those ninjas into raising their guard and taking out weapons to aim at that black shadow.

"Who!"A low shout rang out. Those ninjas flipped their wrists, and various kunai appeared in their hands, which they threw at that black shadow.

"Swish!"

That black shadow abruptly fell from the half-air, then stepped with one foot on the chest of one of the ninjas. That ninja screamed and was knocked flying, crashing heavily into the water. His head tilted to one side, and he had already fainted.

"Baka yaro! Enemy attack!"

"Fire the cannons quickly and take him out!"

Several ninjas roared, drew the swords at their waists, and wildly slashed at that black shadow.

"Swish!"

The shadow figure flashed, dodging their attacks once more, and appeared behind one of the ninjas. He grabbed that ninja's head, lifted him high, and slammed him hard onto the ground.

"Boom!" That ninja's body burst apart, blood spraying.

The other four ninjas' faces changed drastically. They quickly scattered in all directions while shouting aloud: "Ambush! Ambush! Assassins!"

"Whoosh!"

The next second, the shadow figure's form suddenly vanished!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Ah!"

"Pfft!"

Desperate screams, the crack of bones breaking, and the dull sound of blades slicing through skin rang out continuously. In a mere instant, all four ninjas were dead. Yet that shadow figure remained completely unharmed.

The shadow figure stood on the deck, gazing at the large cargo ship carrying hundreds of people on the sea surface. A cruel, bloodthirsty gleam flashed in his eyes. The next moment, the shadow figure transformed into a streak of light and shot straight into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he reached the vicinity of the large cargo ship. Then he leaped, diving directly into the large cargo ship.

"How could this be?" Seeing that shadow figure actually break into the large cargo ship, the four ninjas were first stunned, then their faces changed drastically. They cried out in panic.

They knew that a Genin was stationed on the large cargo ship!

This scene filled these four ninjas with immense fear.

Kuchiki Senya's target was never them, but the Genin on their ship. This also meant that the Genin on board was already in grave danger...

Inside the large cargo ship.

A group of people were gathered in a room, tense and anxious.

"Big sister, do you think we will be safe?" A girl asked, her face full of worry, her voice trembling with unease.

"Rest assured. I have already sent a signal flare to notify the captain and the first mate. I believe the captain and the first mate will arrive to support us soon." The woman in pale green clothing comforted them.

"Sigh! We are just ordinary merchants. That monster's power is too terrifying. Even the first mate died at its hands. The captain and the first mate are probably in grave danger as well." A middle-aged fat man sighed.

"I believe the captain and the first mate will definitely come!" A bespectacled, refined young man said firmly.

This refined young man's name was Konoha Shino, the person responsible for intelligence work on the ship.

"I think we should still try to escape!" A portly uncle said: "I heard from the old shiphand on board that a pirate crew has recently targeted our large vessel, wanting to hijack our cargo. The captain and the first mate have already led the fleet to the port to seek help. Let's hope we are not hijacked!"

"Pity, it is already too late!" As soon as Konoha Shino's words fell, footsteps came from the direction of the door.

"Oh no!" Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, secretly crying out that things were bad.

"Whoosh!"

At the doorway, a figure suddenly flashed into view.

"Who are you!" Konoha Shino quickly stepped in front of everyone, looking nervously at the person before him. Although the person before him wore a mask, judging by his build, he looked very much like the assassin they had encountered earlier!

"Guess?" Kuchiki Senya's lips curled slightly. He slowly removed the mask from his face, revealing a handsome yet sinister countenance.

This person was none other than Kuchiki Senya.
