Chapter 193

At this moment, Ao was hiding in a dark room, staring in disbelief at the scene in the courtyard.

"How is this possible!?"

If not for the mismatch in appearance, he would have thought the person standing there was the Raikage of the Cloud Village.

Looking at the fair skin of the person in the courtyard, Ao subconsciously muttered, "Ao of the Akatsuki."

"Dragon, is it?"

The middle-aged man had not expected the other party's codename to be the same as his own name.

But now was not the time to dwell on such things; the most important task was to deal with those two in the courtyard and protect the employer.

Thinking of this, Ao began to weave hand seals rapidly.

In the courtyard.

Li Ang looked around at the lack of movement and felt a bit troubled for a moment.

For him, dealing with these Mist ninjas was simple; his Monarch Flame could easily blow the entire mansion to the sky.

But the problem was that he wasn't here to carry out an annihilation mission.

While using Monarch Flame would be satisfying, who would compensate him for the missing Byakugan?

At this moment, countless sounds of breaking air suddenly rang out, followed by a dense swarm of ninja tools flying toward the location of Li Ang and his companion.

Clang, clang, clang—

Crisp clashing sounds erupted as a massive number of ninja tools were instantly swept away by Odin.

Seeing this, Li Ang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as these Mist ninjas were willing to attack, it was fine; he was only afraid they would see the situation was bad and run away immediately.

After casually throwing two kunai to take the lives of two Mist ninjas, Li Ang began to search for the tracks of that Mist jonin.

Just then, a rustling sound came from nowhere, and immediately after, a surging torrent of water collapsed the building, turning the mansion into a watery domain.

Water Style: Water Colliding Wave!

At the same time, a thick white fog, so dense one could not see their own hand, shrouded the mansion.

Clearly, the Mist ninjas had pulled off a combo through their coordination.

At this moment, the situation seemed to be developing in a direction unfavorable to Li Ang.

Casually using the long spear in his hand to impale a Mist ninja who suddenly appeared from the water at his feet, Li Ang slowly walked toward the place where the water flow had first originated.

As he walked, he said, "After all these years, you Mist ninjas still only know how to play these unrefined tricks."

Facing Li Ang's mockery, Ao, hiding in the thick fog, remained expressionless, even wanting to laugh.

He did not know what kind of thing the person opposite him considered a ninja to be.

Moreover, as a ninja who had participated in the Third Shinobi World War, Ao could not possibly be provoked by mere words, and the other party did not understand at all what they were about to face.

Did they really think he started with Water Colliding Wave just for fun?

Thinking of this, Ao rapidly wove hand seals with both hands.

Ox-Monkey-Rabbit. Rat-Boar-Rooster.

Finishing the seals, Ao looked at the defenseless figure in the fog, a cold sneer appearing on his face.

The next moment, a giant water dragon formed from the water gathered in the courtyard and slammed fiercely toward Li Ang's position.

Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Ao was very confident in this B-rank ninjutsu he had cast; after all, he didn't know how many enemies had met their end under this attack.

Boom—!

The roaring water dragon opened its hideous maw and instantly swallowed Li Ang.

'Won!'

Seeing this, such a thought couldn't help but surface in Ao's mind.

However, the next moment, a tall figure had already broken through the water dragon and was charging toward his position.

Feeling the fierce wind rushing toward his face, Ao's pupils shrank sharply.

!?

Before he could react, a throwing spear with a cold luster had already pierced through his chest.

Whoosh—

The middle-aged man turned into a puddle of water and scattered on the ground like a popped balloon.

It was a Water Clone.

As a veteran of the Third War, Ao certainly couldn't be killed just like that.

At this moment, the Mist jonin was hiding in the shadows, touching his chest with lingering fear:

'Must abort the mission.'

The monster opposite was simply not something they could handle.

After all, what kind of ninja could take a Water Dragon Bullet Technique head-on and remain unscathed!?

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly discovered that the Akatsuki member codenamed 'Ao' was looking toward his location for some reason.

'! Discovered?'

Just as this thought flashed through Ao's mind, he saw the other party raise the long spear in his hand and aim it at him.

'What does this mea'

The next moment, a light like a shooting star arrived in an instant.

Bang—

Facing the attack, a wooden stake replaced Ao's figure.

After leaving his previous position, he had just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief when he discovered that the scene he had anticipated did not occur.

After passing through the wooden stake, the long spear did not slow down in the slightest; instead, it made a turn and continued to shoot toward him.

'What kind of ninja tool is this?!'

This time, Ao truly had nowhere to hide.

Puchi—

Accompanied by a sharp pain in his chest, he slowly lowered his head and muttered in disbelief, "How could I die here"

This Mist jonin had never expected that he would lose his life just by executing a commission assigned by the village.

He was clearly a Mist elder, clearly the 'Byakugan Killer' that the Hyuga family hated to the bone.

Filled with unwillingness, Ao collapsed on the ground and lost his breath.

Li Ang, holding Gungnir as it returned to his hand, felt no surprise at the result he had caused.

Possessing the 【Sure-Hit】 attribute, the divine spear, even if only forged by Old Tang, was a dimensional strike to the vast majority of ninjas in this Naruto world.

It could even be considered using a sledgehammer to crack a nut to use it against Ao.

Even without using Gungnir, Li Ang had many ways to kill the other party.

He only chose to do this for the sake of caution; after all, he had to guard against the other party destroying the Byakugan before death.

After ordering Odin to go and hunt down the remaining Mist ninjas on the scene, Li Ang came before Ao's corpse.

He looked at the Byakugan in the other party's right eye, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

However, before extracting the Byakugan, Li Ang first removed the charm-like ornaments from Ao's ears.

'Something used to protect the Byakugan?'

After examining them for a few moments, he put them into his space ring.

Li Ang didn't think this thing could work across space.

Right now, there was nothing that could stop him from obtaining his first piece of material.

While thinking, Li Ang took out a pre-prepared container from his space ring, then used a scalpel to carefully excise the Byakugan and place it inside.

Looking at the eyeball soaking in the solution, he felt in a great mood for a moment.

'This counts as collecting one piece of material.'

Meanwhile, the Mist ninjas being hunted by Odin couldn't care about that much anymore; they never expected that the elder in their village would die so carelessly, without even putting up any decent resistance.

As for revenge...

Let them survive first.

Moreover, compared to revenge, the surviving Mist ninjas felt it was more important to transmit the intelligence of this mission back to the village.

Not knowing what these small fry were thinking, Li Ang put away the container with the Byakugan.

He had just put away the container when he heard a voice sound beside him: "Mission accomplished, retreat."

It was Sasori.

He had solved the mission target with almost no effort.

Of course, the main reason was that the commotion Li Ang made here was too big, and the vast majority of the defensive forces were attracted by him.

This was also one of the reasons why Li Ang summoned Odin.

After all, not everyone in this world could perceive the oddities of Odin like Sasori, and Odin, also wearing the black cloak with red clouds, was perfect for impersonating his partner.

Therefore, in the situation where two enemies appeared on the front, the Mist would at most leave a small number of personnel to protect the employer, while the rest chose to support the front battlefield.

At this time, Sasori glanced at the Mist jonin's corpse on the ground, then looked at Li Ang, who was only slightly damp, and his eyes flickered slightly.

The strength of this partner of his was even stronger than he had anticipated.

And it seemed that he hadn't used the powerful Kekkei Genkai from before in the battle just now, but instead used abilities he had never used before.

Hearing Sasori's voice, Li Ang couldn't help but stretch: "This mission was quite simple, let's retreat."

For him, a battle of that intensity didn't even count as a warm-up.

Just between the two of them talking, the vast majority of the Mist ninjas had already been cleared by Odin, with only a small portion escaping in the chaos.

Li Ang couldn't be bothered to chase these people; after simply disposing of Ao's corpse, he also put it into his ring, and then left the mansion that had turned into ruins with Sasori in a swaggering manner.

Such a huge commotion naturally attracted the attention of other places in the city, but until the two left, no one in the city dared to come and check.

After all, no one wanted to provoke three terrifyingly strong ninjas for no reason.

Just after leaving the capital of the Land of Crafts, a message popped up on Li Ang's profession panel.

【Completed an S-rank commission, Profession EXP +21000】.
