Alone and Infinite

For example, 'Squad One', 'Squad Two', and so on up to Squad Four.

And the Chief of Staff's office.

The Dark Division has a Commander-in-Chief?

"Your information has already been registered; all that's left is to collect the materials—"

As the man in the black robe spoke, he brought out a box from a room marked 'Logistics Room'.

It also had its name, "Xia," written on it.

"Here you go. It's the standard uniform and such. If it gets damaged, we can repair it anytime. Combat supplies will be assessed by the tactics team based on the mission briefing each time we go on a mission."

Li Xia took the box and opened it directly. Inside, there was a complete set of uniforms neatly folded.

There was also a short knife, a stack of explosive tags, a bottle of military ration pills, a substitute talisman, and several bottles of wound medicine.

These items are all marked with "not for sale," clearly indicating that no loopholes are allowed.

I glanced at the panel.

Its defensive capabilities are barely adequate, at best able to protect against ordinary people's sword and knife attacks.

A ninja's attack is absolutely impossible to defend against.

"Oh, by the way, the captain wants you to go to his office; it seems there's a mission—"

The man in black robes suddenly remembered something:

"Your luck is really bad. Generally speaking, newcomers aren't assigned tasks immediately."

"Thank you."

Li Xia is starting to find this person a bit annoying. Why does he keep reopening old wounds? You have to tell me about this low luck!

However, the mission mentioned by the man in black robes should be the result of the Temple of Light's distorted perception.

After changing into her clothes in the locker room and putting on the same black robe, Li Xia walked to the office door.

Before I even knocked, a rather calm voice came from inside.

"The door is unlocked."

Stepping inside, you're greeted by the same minimalist decor, with only the Leaf logo and cabinets.

The surface faintly shimmered with the glow of sealing magic.

Behind the desk sat another person wearing a mask.

His mask looked like it was shaped like some kind of bird.

"Xia, I have an important task for you, and you must be quick."

Even though it was their first meeting, the captain of the Dark Guard acted as if he already knew him.

The cognitive distortions within the Hall of Light are truly terrifying.

This even led the captain to disregard the rule that the Dark Division always went on missions in small teams.

The normal task process was ignored.

This completely changed his perception to the absurd level that 'this task must be taken over by Xia'.

Most importantly, he still thinks it's perfectly normal.

"We have received intelligence that Zabuza Momochi, the Demon of the Mist, will bring great danger to the ninja world."

"You must be the one to execute him, or else!"

Li Xia:

Cognitive distortion is indeed powerful; Zabuza has been buried in the ground for at least a year now.

It also brought great harm to the ninja world.

After accepting the scroll that symbolized the mission, a prompt from the Hall of Light immediately popped up before my eyes.

[Executioner, you have triggered a hidden side quest.]

[Mission Objective: Defeat Zabuza Momochi (Abyss Transformation), the Hidden Mist Demon]

[Mission Level: S (Konoha Mission Level)]

[Task period: 3 days]

[Mission Reward: 3 Common Medals]

[Mission Brief: The power of the Abyss has amplified death; this is the most common form of invasion by the Abyss, and also its most troublesome aspect.]

Seeing the text on the task panel, Li Xia finally understood the general sequence of events.

The task rewards are not high, which is normal.

Because the privileges enjoyed by executioners are already part of the reward.

"Boss, so this mission means we're no longer killing those who come back to life?"

Finally, Aowula, who had been silent all along, couldn't hold back any longer and asked in astonishment in the team channel.

Li Xia put away the 'mission scroll' and walked out of the office without hesitation.

He replied in the team channel: "This should be considered the normal way to invade the Abyss."

The derivative world was originally completely controlled by the palace.

Like the last time the Sword Demon invaded, it was directly rejected by the entire world.

Moreover, the user's strength is actually weakened to some extent when the main body invades.

As for Zabuza, he already possessed the strength of a Jonin to an elite Jonin, further enhanced by the Abyss.

It's probably at the level of a movie star.

Li Xia took a deep breath and, following the instructions of the man in black robes, entered the special passage used for missions.

Before long, he arrived directly on the Hokage Rock and glanced down at the brightly lit Konoha Village.

He turned and leaped into the jungle.

The wind whistled past his ears as Li Xia traversed the dense forest at an incredible speed.

With a light touch of the tree trunk, one can leap dozens of meters into the air.

The Flying Technique maintains a delicate range; it doesn't allow for direct flight, but it greatly reduces body weight.

Therefore, you don't need to use any force to bounce it far away easily.

A phantom topographical map floated before them, with the Temple of Light providing map markings as always.

But it's unclear whether the method of intrusion this time was different from the last one.

The provided map does not have precise markings, only approximate areas, so you need to search for them yourself.

According to the markings, Zabuza should be located between the Land of Waves and the Hidden Mist.

The distance was vast; in the original story, it took Team 7 a full month to escort ordinary people to the Land of Waves.

The distance is approximately one thousand kilometers.

But this mission only has three days.

That means you have to walk at least 300 kilometers a day, which isn't difficult for Li Xia right now.

Awoo clung to Li Xia's shoulder, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked:

"Boss, should we call the kitten over? Its aura skill is quite useful."

"No, things are at a critical moment for Heitan."

Li Xia had previously considered calling Heitan over, and Heitan himself even saw the mission notification and wanted to come back.

After much deliberation, I decided to abandon this decision, firstly because the experiment had reached its most critical point.

Secondly, Orochimaru seems to have lost his mind, and Kurozumi often seems to be able to generate positive buffs.

This is a rare opportunity; it's a stroke of luck.

"But boss, even a lion can hunt a rabbit."

Aowu was somewhat worried, as Zabuza was originally an elite Jonin, especially one who had fought his way out of the 'Bloody Mist' era.

He has extensive experience in life-or-death battles, and with the enhancements from the Abyss, he is at least at the Shadow level.

They are definitely an extremely difficult opponent.

"That's right, even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit."

Li Xia's gaze was calm and composed:

"But not every battle gives you the opportunity to face your opponent in your strongest condition."

This is my moment to give it my all!

On the azure sea, a figure sped past, creating ripples that spread across the surface, leaving trails of white foam.

At this point, the point marked on the map has turned into a red circle.

Li Xia's gaze swept back and forth, his right eye constantly zooming in and out on Scott, capturing every suspicious detail.

"Boss, we've searched this area, nothing!"

A howling sound came from the team channel.

Just as Li Xia was about to answer, Scott's image suddenly magnified in her right eye.

On the sea, a small boat was seen drifting with the waves.

He immediately turned around and sped off towards the small boat.

As soon as my feet landed lightly on the deck, a strong smell of blood immediately filled my nostrils.

Li Xia's gaze sharpened, and he used his spear to pry open the awning.

Several corpses lay scattered in the cabin, their lifeless eyes wide open.

Fear still lingered on his face, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Their bodies bore gruesome wounds, as if a sharp weapon had sliced ​​through them.

Internal organs and blood accumulated in the cabin, fermenting to produce an extremely unpleasant, fishy stench.

The time of death was no more than half a day.

It must have drifted over from nearby!

After checking the weather outside, he took out a small instrument from his personal space and placed it in the seawater.

"Drip drip"

A crisp beep sounded, and the instrument's screen clearly displayed the direction and approximate velocity of the ocean current.

Li Xia's brain started calculating rapidly, according to this data...

The approximate direction should be southwest!

"Awooo, come closer to me, I've found you!"

There were some things to take care of at home today, so I'm taking care of the baby.

Today's average daily value: 1634

Chapter 263 Six Paths Level?

This sea area is dotted with numerous small islands, large and small, which together form this maritime kingdom, a water kingdom.

Without a general direction, finding Zabuza in this sea area would be quite a challenge.

Li Xia sped southwest along the sea level.

The waves surged and rolled, occasionally trying to touch his toes, but were pushed away by an invisible force, unwillingly merging into the azure ocean.

A small island gradually appeared larger on the horizon, but Li Xia only glanced at it before looking away.
