Summoning the shikigami of Konoha

"Could it be a bonus in terms of status!?" When Katsuragi guessed Mifune's reward, Okisuke also agreed to Katsuragi's challenge. .

"Tsume, please take care of Mifune-sama first."

"Yes, Okisuke-sama!"

After giving instructions to Takeme, Okosuke arranged the sword on his lower body, stood in front of Katsuragi, and said seriously: "Although I may not be your opponent, I will still give my best."

"Ok!"

Gui Mu nodded and didn't say anything more. He clenched the demon sword in his hand and looked at Oki in front of him.

Perhaps because he had injured Mifune just now, Okisuke did go all out as he said. At the beginning of the battle, he attacked first, and at the same time, a bounty mission in the courtyard was generated.

Although Okisuke tried his best to defeat Katsuragi, the gap in strength cannot be made up by simple belief, so the battle did not last long and ended with Okisuke's defeat.

Seeing the end of the battle, Mifune, who had taken care of his injuries, came over. After first checking that Okosuke was fine, he looked at Katsuragi with admiration and said, "Himura-dono is really amazing!"

"where!"

Gui Mu said humbly, then looked at Mifune's injuries, thought for a moment and said, "I actually have a merciless request!"

"Ok?"

Mifune looked at Katsuragi with doubtful eyes, and then said: "Please tell me!"

"Mifune-sama, are there any powerful people here? I hope to challenge him again." Katsuragi actually wanted to ask the man named Ura Kaku in the bounty manual, but he thought that there might be someone missing from the black market, so he changed it to a powerful person. .

"Strong?"

Mifune was stunned for a moment, then looked at Katsuragi whose clothes were not damaged at all, sighed and said: "I'm afraid there is no samurai strong enough for you in the entire Iron Kingdom. If you want to challenge the strong, you can only go to the five major Ninja Village."

"There are some ninjas there who are very powerful in their physical skills."

"Uh."

Seeing that Mifune had misunderstood what he meant, Katsuragi quickly added: "You don't have to be stronger than me, as long as you are strong enough to allow me to go further."

"Strong strength..."

Mifune pondered for a moment, and then said: "Rikkaku's strength should be able to fight you a few times, but I have arranged for him to go out to patrol the border and will not come back until the day after tomorrow. If you are fine, you can wait here for two days. "

"not here!?"

Gui Mu hesitated. If nothing else happens, the reward called Satokaku should be similar to Okisuke's. Okisuke's bounty seal reward is 500,000 gold coins. Is it worth waiting in the Kingdom of Iron for this 500,000 gold coins? Two days.

"That bothers me!"

In the end, Guimu couldn't stand the temptation of gold coins and agreed.

"fine."

Mifune shook his head and didn't care. He didn't mention the recruitment again. Originally, he thought that after defeating Katsuragi, he would use the practice of sword skills as a temptation to recruit Katsuragi. But now that Katsuragi is so strong, he doesn't think Katsuragi can still do it. I wanted to stay, so I didn’t mention it again.

On the other side, because of Bai Zetsu's information, Akatsuki was also getting ready to go.

"Watch the road."

Looking at Xiaonan who was about to leave, Payne couldn't help but give an instruction.

Xiao Nan smiled softly. When he was about to answer, he suddenly felt something. His face was stunned, and then he frowned and said, "Can I rush over a little later!"

"what happened?"

"Do you still remember the Xianglin I sent away some time ago?"

Xiaonan explained: "When she left, I gave her a piece of paper and asked her to burn it when she was in danger or wanted to come back. Just now I felt that the paper was burned not far away."

"Is that girl important?" Payne didn't understand why Xiaonan valued Xianglin so much.

"I want to see her."

Konan said hesitantly.

Payne looked at Xiaonan, was silent for a while, and agreed: "Okay, get there as soon as possible."

"Ok!"

After Xiaonan nodded, she immediately started to set off. Firstly, she wanted to rush to the meeting as soon as possible. At the same time, she was also worried that Xianglin was in danger, so she lit the white paper on fire.

Rain Country, Border.

Looking at the white paper in front of her that was not even ashes after burning, Xianglin sat on the ground and sighed silently. Now, she might become a member of the Kingdom of Rain.

Along the way, she asked everywhere about Guimu's whereabouts, but there was no clue at all. Finally, she had no choice but to find Xiaonan. Even Bai Jue searched for so long before finding Guimu, let alone her.

"Ugh!"

Xiang Ling scratched her red hair tangledly. She didn't know if this move was the right one, but when it came to wandering, she wanted to find a stable place. Originally, she was most optimistic about Konoha, but unfortunately she couldn't find Gui Mu. , and there is no one else he knows in Konoha.

When Xiang Lu was frowning, Xiao Nan, who had been flying all the way with paper wings, finally found her. After seeing that Xiang Lu was safe and sound, she felt slightly relieved and fell down from the sky.

"Fragrance!"

"Lord Angel!" Xiang Ling was startled. Because she was just thinking about Gui Mu, she didn't open Kagura's mind, so she didn't notice Konan's arrival.

"How many times have you told me not to call me Angel? You can just call me Xiaonan." Xiaonan asked softly with helplessness on her face, "What's going on? Didn't that person accept you?"

Xiang Ling scratched his head and giggled twice, then explained with some disappointment: "No, he went out for something, and I didn't find him."

"That's it!" Xiaonan tidied up the hair that she had messed up before, and said with a smile: "Then come to the Kingdom of Rain and accompany me. I guarantee that no one will bully you here."

"Thank you, Sister Xiaonan!" Xiang Luxin felt an indescribable feeling and nodded heavily. She decided to forget about Konoha and stay in the Land of Rain with peace of mind.

Xiao Nan was also very happy to see Xiang Lu make a decision. Then he looked around and saw a deserted area. This was because Xiang Lu was worried about any noise while burning paper, so he deliberately chose a very remote place.

"What's wrong? Sister Xiaonan!" Xiang Ling began to treat Xiaonan as a sister in her heart. After noticing a frown flashing across her face, she quickly asked.

Looking at the concerned Xiang Ling, Xiaonan explained: "I have a very urgent task to do. I may not be able to send you back to the village, but I don't worry about you going back by yourself."

"It's okay, Sister Xiaonan, I can go back by myself." Xiang Ling quickly patted his chest and assured, "I am also a ninja."

Xiaonan smiled, then thought for a moment and said, "I'll use the paper clone to protect you. Just be careful on the road and there should be no problem."

"It's really okay." Xiang Ling tried to fight for it, but looking at Xiao Nan who was directly cloned, he could only respond helplessly: "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Xiao Nan!"

Then, Xiang Liao suddenly thought of something, hesitated, looked at Xiaonan and asked: "Sister Xiaonan, what is your mission? I have some abilities, maybe I can help you!"

"No, this mission is very dangerous. Please stay in the village and wait for me to come back." Xiaonan shook his head and refused Xiang Ling's request.
