Chapter 1061: The Angry Hokage

The forest wind blew, and the leaves rustled.

In the forest near the Konoha ninja village, Su Xiao had been waiting here for eight hours.

On the trunk of a towering tree, Su Xiao tossed a bullet in his hand, and the Spider Queen was placed to the side.

A Zetsu clone grew from the tree trunk, revealing the upper half of his body.

"That guy is here, over there."

Zetsu pointed in a direction. Su Xiao took out a Soul Crystal (Small). This Soul Crystal shattered in his hand, and a stream of black energy surged down his arm. After absorbing the fragments of the Soul Crystal, this black energy clearly grew stronger.

Su Xiao placed the bullet in his hand into the black energy. The black energy gradually merged into the bullet. The surface of this 17.36mm caliber bullet was covered with black patterns.

These black patterns were composed of Demonic Power. Su Xiao was using an ability, an ability that appeared after Demonic Seal reached Lv. 10: Demonic Gaze.

Demonic Gaze (Active): When performing a long-range attack, you can cover Demonic Power onto weapons such as bullets, bows, and arrows to perform a long-range attack. This attack will add 80% of the final damage value as real damage (for example, if the final damage of the bullet hitting the enemy is 100 points, Demonic Gaze (Active) will add 80 points of real damage).

Hint: Each use of Demonic Gaze (Active) requires consuming Soul Crystal (Small) x1. Soul Crystal (Small) can be converted into the Demonic Power needed to cover the bullet.

Hint: The cooldown time for Demonic Gaze (Active) is 72 hours.

Su Xiao stuffed the bullet converted by Demonic Power into the chamber of the Spider Queen. He held the Spider Queen level in front of him and pulled the bolt to load it.

The optical infrared detection scope 4-28x was turned on. Su Xiao adjusted the scope to 15x and used the thermal sensing attached to the scope to find the target.

First, three red phantom images entered his line of sight. Su Xiao turned the scope to continue searching.

Soon, a figure with only one arm left and staggering steps appeared within range.

Distance 1736 meters, 107 obstacles, all trees, angle 42.3°.

Su Xiao began to judge more precise values, such as wind speed, air humidity, temperature, etc. At a distance of nearly two thousand meters, these values could not have the slightest error.

Su Xiao's finger slowly rested on the trigger. He had nothing else in his eyes, only that enemy 1737 meters away.

The enemy's movement speed was very slow, and somewhat irregular. At this distance, the bullet needed flight time.

Su Xiao took a few deep breaths to ensure the oxygen content in his blood. His heartbeat speed became slower and slower.

Thud.

Su Xiao's heart beat. The red crosshair on the scope jumped extremely slightly. At this distance, a 0.01-millimeter error during aiming could lead to a 20-40 centimeter error between the bullet and the target.

After the crosshair fluctuation caused by the heartbeat disappeared, Su Xiao pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Fire erupted from the muzzle. A bullet left the muzzle, and cracks appeared on the tree trunk beneath Su Xiao's feet.

After the 17.36mm caliber bullet left the chamber, it stirred up layers of ripples in the air along the way. A spiral airflow vortex formed behind the bullet. Any bullet rotates at high speed after leaving the chamber, thereby reducing air resistance.

The already reddening bullet head punched through a tree, as easily as piercing through paper.

The moment the bullet left the chamber, the outsider already felt a chill through his body. His forward steps paused.

With a smack!

Red and white liquid and shattered skull flew. A corpse with its upper body completely shattered lay in the dead branches and rotten leaves with a thud.

The sunlight shone down through the gaps between the leaves, and the area within five meters was full of splashing blood and minced meat.

Shot through, distance 1737 meters.

Nearly two kilometers away, Su Xiao pulled the bolt of the Spider Queen, and a hot shell casing flew up.

"Is this a new technology of the ninjas?"

A male voice came; it was Kato Dan standing on a tree trunk not far away.

"Dead people should mind their own business."

Su Xiao put away the Spider Queen. His mood was quite good. This pit-digging hunting mission was finally completed. At this moment, his mood could only be described as refreshed. That outsider was simply too slippery.

【Hint: The Hunter has completed the hunting mission.】

【Evaluating this hunting mission...】

【Evaluation complete, final rating is: A+.】

【This rating will significantly affect the comprehensive evaluation after the end of this derived world.】

【You have obtained Golden Honor Medal x5.】

【Currently have: Golden Honor Medal x7.】

Su Xiao leaped down from the tree trunk and rushed toward the vicinity of the outsider's corpse. Although the possibility of the opponent dropping a Scarlet Card was not high, he still had to check it.

Sure enough, besides seeing minced meat all over the ground, Su Xiao didn't see anything else.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang suddenly barked, signaling that an enemy was approaching.

"How many?"

As soon as Su Xiao's words fell, a dozen wind-breaking sounds came. Leading them was a female ninja with a large chest, who could be said to have revealed the charm of a mature woman without reservation.

Behind this female ninja were two women and one man. Behind the four of them were a dozen Konoha Anbu.

The woman in the lead was named Tsunade Senju, the current Fifth Hokage. And the two women and one man behind her were all her confidants, namely Tsunade-hime's two disciples, Shizune and Haruno Sakura. That male ninja was named Nara Shikaku, who belonged to the strategist type in Konoha, with extremely high IQ.

"Akatsuki member, Bai, Ye."

When Tsunade said Su Xiao's fake name, she could be said to be gnashing her teeth. Thinking about it, it made sense; when they last met, Su Xiao and Nagato had wiped out Konoha together.

"The vigilance is unexpectedly strong."

Su Xiao really didn't expect the people of Konoha to notice so quickly. The sniper point he chose was a position relatively far from Konoha.

In fact, it wasn't that Su Xiao was exposed, but that the sensory-type ninjas ambushed at other mental nodes were exposed. Afterward, the group from Konoha heard the gunshot, so they were able to find this place.

Konoha had just been leveled to the ground not long ago, so their vigilance was of course very strong. If they were leveled to the ground again, it wouldn't be a matter of just hurting their muscles and bones.

"Kill him."

Tsunade ordered without hesitation. Su Xiao had no intention of going to war now; this place was too close to Konoha.

A dozen Anbu ninjas rushed forward first, but just at this moment, a figure leaped down from high above and blocked in front of Su Xiao.

This figure had a head of light blue long hair, pitch-black pupils, and cracks could vaguely be seen on his cheeks.

Seeing this figure, Tsunade's amber pupils constricted to the limit, and a large number of memories flooded her heart.

"Sure enough, bringing him near Konoha was the right choice."

Su Xiao left Kato Dan to block the group from Konoha, and he and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rushed into the forest behind.

Tsunade felt very conflicted in her heart. She had already realized what was going on. This was the Edo Tensei technique developed by her grandfather, and Kato Dan had once been her lover.

As a lover, Tsunade of course knew how terrifying Kato Dan's Spirit Transformation Technique was. She could block the opponent, but her disciples or subordinates couldn't, and it was very likely to cause death or injury due to the Spirit Transformation Technique.

If she didn't pursue Su Xiao personally, then these subordinates of hers were completely going to their deaths. She had already learned how the Fourth Raikage and the Fifth Mizukage died.

Now Tsunade had two choices: one was to pursue Su Xiao personally and let her subordinates hold off Kato Dan. But Tsunade couldn't be certain of one point: whether there were other Edo Tensei dead.

Compared to pursuing Su Xiao, Tsunade valued the safety of Konoha more. She was the Kage of a village and could not be swayed by personal emotions.

Tsunade only considered it for a moment before making a decision: while "dealing" with Kato Dan, she sent two Anbu skilled in stealth to track Su Xiao, just tracking from afar would suffice.

"Tsunade, I really didn't expect that I could still see you."

Kato Dan suddenly spoke. This was like a sharp dagger, piercing into Tsunade's chest.

Tsunade remained silent. She couldn't and didn't dare to talk to Kato Dan. If she did that, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to make a move.

Tsunade leaped down from the tree and lunged at Kato Dan from a high position. Kato Dan's body creaked, and he was trying his best to suppress Kabuto's control.

Bang!

Tsunade punched Kato Dan to pieces, the ground shattered, and a terrifying crater appeared. This was the terror of the Strength of a Hundred Seal.

Gray debris flew, and the Kato Dan shattered by Tsunade gradually recovered.

Tsunade actually knew that doing this couldn't solve the Edo Tensei user; she was waiting for ninjas skilled in sealing to arrive.

"Bastards, to what extent are you going to desecrate the souls of the dead!"

A roar spread through the forest, followed by successive rumbling sounds. ===== CHAPTER 1062 =====
