"Please forgive the rudeness of the Wind Demon Clan, sir, for we were forced into this situation by circumstances."

The dragonfly lowered its cheeks as it explained.

It turns out that the reason why the Fuma clan declined and even became bandits occupying a place was related to the daimyo of the Land of Fields.

That person in charge of power, despite being incompetent, still dared to dream of expanding territory.

The defeat in the war directly led to the decline of the country, and the ninja clans that went to war with them also fell into decline. Without high-end combat power, without resources to train strong people, and without missions to accept, they could only become bandits in order to survive.

"Well, is there anything else?"

Huang nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

He wasn't particularly interested in the history of other ninja clans.

What interests them most are the few clans that still exist in the Land of Fields, and what special abilities they possess.

"Furthermore, I wish to follow you, sir. Please grant me permission."

The Wind Demon Dragonfly raised its eyes, its gaze filled with unwavering determination.

Chapter 39 Breaking out of the cocoon

The word "follow" was carefully considered by Fengmo Qingling.

Especially when he pushed open the door and saw the boys still training, his conviction grew even stronger.

Only by following such ninjas, only by actively leaving this land that has been in decline for too long, can our clan have hope! Only then can the name of the Fuma clan once again grace the stage of ninjas!

Moreover, he belongs to the Uchiha clan!

The strongest clan in the ninja world!

"No."

The cold response that reached his ears sent a shiver down his spine, and a surge of bitter emotions welled up within him, but a glimmer of hope still lingered in his heart.

"Does Lord Ara dislike my ugly appearance, which is why he doesn't want to keep me by his side?"

The dragonfly's hoarse voice began to become clean and cold, and its ugly appearance gradually hardened and evolved into a brown pupa.

‘Crack. ’

A crisp sound burst forth.

The hardened earthen pupa also cracked open, and a faint light appeared, the radiance of two pairs of thin wings shaking off.

As the wings folded, the ninja inside the pupa revealed its true form.

Her light green short hair framed her delicate face, but her pale purple pupils, which should have been the finishing touch, appeared somewhat downcast and lifeless. Her plain dress completely revealed her identity.

The Wind Demon Dragonfly is actually a girl!

Judging from his appearance, he looks to be only a teenager, not much older than Huang.

Yet, this very existence has become the pillar of the clan, sustaining its existence and even hoping to one day restore the family's glory.

"I... I don't really like it this way."

"Because this would make them ineffective as a deterrent within the tribe."

"It's a dragonfly," the dragonfly said softly.

His words remained flat, and his eyes remained lifeless.

Heaven knows what kind of external pressure caused it to lose the luster that once belonged to a young girl's eyes.

"Feel sorry."

However, Huang's answer remained the same.

He understood the girl's thoughts, but the seemingly powerful Uchiha clan was now in an extremely dangerous situation, and a slight misstep could lead to their utter destruction.

Given this environment, how could he possibly still have the mind to help other families?

Furthermore, what would Konoha's attitude be if they were to have a direct conflict with the Fuma clan? Those old guys wouldn't care what kind of force you were supporting or what country you were in.

They will only use this as an excuse to continue to promote the Uchiha threat theory and get more neutral clans to take sides!

Huang neither wanted nor could he implicate his family.

"how come......."

Dragonfly murmured.

"I... I just want to train with you to become stronger. I will definitely not cause any trouble and I will not have any other requests."

She was unwilling to give up and continued to plead.

Even his lifeless eyes stirred with emotion at this moment.

Huang stared at the girl in front of him and fell silent.

My mind is in turmoil.

The girl in front of him was similar to himself; both of them were doing it for their families.

The difference lies in the fact that the former aims to revitalize, while the latter aims to protect.

After a moment's thought, Huang pulled a low-level speed pill from his palm. Its emerald green color made it look like it contained a potent poison.

"Eat it."

There was no explanation, just three simple words.

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light quietly appeared in the dim eyes of the Wind Demon Dragonfly, like a drowning person grasping at a straw.

She took a step to Huang, picked up the green pill, and immediately swallowed it.

There were no unnecessary words.

It is important to know that in the ninja world, casually swallowing someone else's pills is an absolute taboo, tantamount to handing over one's life to the other party!

However, as the acting patriarch of the Wind Demon Clan, she did not hesitate at all!

Even Huang was moved by this scene.

Dragonfly naturally knew that this was a hidden test given by the other party, but in order to bring her family back to the forefront, she was willing to accept even the most deadly poison!

However, the scenario he imagined did not occur.

As soon as the pill entered his stomach, a cool sensation instantly swept over his entire body, and even his movements became more agile.

"This is?"

The light in the girl's eyes intensified.

She never imagined that this was not only not poison, but also a booster pill that could increase her speed.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that this increase was permanent, not just a fleeting moment!

How could this not excite her?

Huang did not answer, his gaze shifting for a few moments, and then dozens more pills lay in his palm.

The main component consists of low-level speed pills, supplemented with two or three low-level constitution pills.

"take it."

he said softly.

This is the greatest help I can offer them at this stage.

Seeing this, Fengmo Qingling's heart pounded, and the hope in his eyes grew stronger, as if he could already see the hope of his family's revival!

However, as soon as she reached out her hand, it was suspended in mid-air again.

"I... I have nothing to give back."

Dragonfly's voice was somewhat bitter. She knew clearly the value of this pill, which was worth more than the entire Wind Demon Clan combined!

If this were outside the region, let alone the mere Fuma clan, even the five great ninja villages would have to step in and fight for it.

But the boy in front of him casually gave him such an item.

She longed to become stronger and to revive her family, but she had nothing to offer in return.

"fine."

Huang didn't care.

These low-level pills offer him very little boost right now, and giving them away was just a matter of timing; he never expected anything in return.

"Then can I...?"

The girl carefully took the pills and asked questions with anticipation.

If these amplification pills could be distributed to the clansmen, even just a few, it would enhance their strength to some extent.

"No."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Huang interrupted him directly. He knew what the other party was thinking, but he did not trust the other members of the Wind Demon Clan.

"I see."

Dragonfly's gaze dimmed slightly, but quickly returned to normal, and she swallowed all the pills in front of Ara.

In an instant, she felt a surge of power within her.

Although this power was far less impressive than the first time she took it, it still slightly improved her physical condition.

"If I have the chance in the future, I will come again."

Huang gripped his sword again and said.

He wanted to continue training, and these words were a way of telling him to leave.

Upon hearing this, the dragonfly's emotions were stirred once again.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately swallowed her words and quickly changed her mind:

"I understand, Lord Ara."

"However, from now on, the dragonfly's life is yours, and you may take it whenever you need it."

After speaking, she slowly backed away and gradually returned to her usual self as she closed the door.
