Naruto: The Caged Bird Cannot Confine Me - Feng Hou Qi Men

Chapter 111 Your physical skills aren't good enough; you need to practice more.

111.

"The Land of Demons doesn't have many useful ninjutsu. After I learned all the basic ninjutsu you left behind, I was thinking of having Ashiho get some other ninjutsu scrolls."

"Just then, the Land of Earth sent an envoy..."

Ziyuan thought for a moment and then recounted the whole story.

It's likely that the remote Land of Earth coveted the relatively abundant natural resources of the Land of Demons and wanted to establish trade routes to facilitate good business relations between the two countries.

Although the Land of Earth's envoy offered a reasonably good deal, in such cross-border trade, the stronger nation always gains more benefits.

According to the analysis of ministers from the Land of Demons, such as Ashiho, they could offer even more favorable terms.

However, Shion temporarily replaced these generous conditions with ninjutsu scrolls from the Land of Earth—compared to the low-grade items circulating in the black market, the ninjutsu from a major country is definitely more powerful!

At that time, Ziyuan wanted to become powerful enough to find Fengqi on her own.

Therefore, these additional conditions were used in exchange for the complete versions of Earth Release: Light-Heavy Rock and Earth Release: Heavy Rock Techniques from Iwagakure.

"What a waste of resources! He actually used so much national resources to exchange for these two ninjutsu that aren't even considered secrets in Iwagakure!"

Tsunade shook her head after hearing this, and updated the label she had for Shion in her mind once again.

In terms of understanding the Five Great Ninja Villages, she, having participated in the Third Shinobi World War, has a deeper understanding than Shion and the entire Land of Demons combined!

"What's it to you? I like it!"

Ziyuan crossed her arms, turned her head to the side, puffed out her cheeks, and snorted coldly.

I have to say, that stubborn, pouting look is kind of cute!

"Although we did lose a bit, it's not necessarily a bad thing given the current situation," Feng Qi said.

Let alone Earth Release ninjutsu like Light-Heavy Rock, if he wanted to, he could even research Dust Release, a bloodline limit, if he wanted to.

Exchanging a large amount of national resources for these two things seems like a huge loss on the surface.

However, Shion's decision inadvertently established a connection between the Land of Demons and the Sand Village, greatly facilitating the subsequent negotiations with the new ninja village!

"Otherwise, we could notify the Land of Earth to come and retrieve those two broken ninjutsu!"

As a violent maniac who wouldn't let anyone take advantage of her, Tsunade naturally understood this principle, so she didn't object too much.

She has truly come to regard the Land of Demons as part of her shared interests.

"If that's the case, then Shion, the envoy from Iwagakure in the Land of Earth, should be coming to the Land of Demons soon, right?" Feng Qi looked down at the basin surrounded by mountains on three sides.

“Yes, the day after tomorrow is the agreed transaction day.” Ziyuan nodded.

"In that case, Lady Tsunade, you should rest for the next couple of days and get acquainted with the environment of the Land of Demons with Shizune."

Feng Qi pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "We'll start building the new ninja village the day after tomorrow."

"What do you mean?" Tsunade guessed what he was thinking.

"That's right. The formal establishment of the new ninja village should start with negotiations with the Land of Earth. We have to show them what we can do."

If you want to gain a position in the cruel and ruthless ninja world, showing your fists is undoubtedly the quickest and most convincing way, without exception!

"Is that really the case? Well then, I'll look forward to the day after tomorrow."

Tsunade smiled faintly, as if she could already see the stunned expression on the face of the Iwagakure envoy that day.

"I'm leaving on silent now, let's find a place to have a drink."

Thinking of this, Tsunade, who had jumped into the fire pit, was clearly in a much better mood, and turned to leave with Shizune.

"Eh? But Lady Tsunade, we've already run out of travel funds..."

"Hey, we're already here, so why worry about not having money? Just put all the bills on that big, brainless witch!"

"Really? Then I want to buy a bottle of perfume!"

"Be bold, buy a whole case."

……

Listening to the conversation of the two people gradually fading away, Ziyuan's lips twitched, and she rolled up her sleeves, ready to chase after them and have a good talk with them.

What do you mean by "big bear, no brains"? You're the one who's big bear, no brains!

That's right, that's all she cares about.

As for keeping accounts, I don't really have much of a feeling about it.

Or to be more precise, Tsunade's blunt attitude actually suited her taste even better.

“Ziyuan, you have some free time now, let me see how much you’ve grown during this time,” Feng Qi quickly called out to her.

Upon hearing this, Shion finally calmed down and gave Tsunade a standard international hand gesture towards her back.

"That's a girl's secret."

She turned to look at Feng Qi, stood there hesitating for a while, and then said, "I've grown a centimeter in height, and as for my bust size, um..."

“…I’m referring to your strength,” Feng Qi interrupted, speechless.

If he wanted to know that thing, wasn't it something he could just calculate with a snap of his fingers?

"Huh?!" Ziyuan's face instantly turned red.

Realizing she had misunderstood Feng Qi's meaning, she hurriedly hid behind the nearest big tree, peeking out half her head to look at Feng Qi.

"Come on, try to attack me with all your might."

Feng Qi lifted his long hair and moved his sleeves, getting straight to the point by beckoning to Zi Yuan behind the tree.

"I, I understand!"

Ziyuan stepped out from behind the tree, took a deep breath to compose herself, and then her evasive eyes suddenly became serious.

This is the time to show Feng Qi the results of his cultivation; he absolutely must impress him!

With her fair hand slightly raised, Shion began to mobilize all her chakra and unleash a ninjutsu she had long since mastered.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Bang bang bang!

Thick, dense white smoke rose out of nowhere, and one after another, aster flowers emerged from it, surrounding Feng Qi!

Feng Qi simply raised his eyes and glanced at her, and he immediately understood Shion's ninjutsu state.

She created a total of six clones this time, each of which could use chakra shape transformation, and the amount of chakra was astonishing, several times that of an ordinary Chunin!

Purple chakra surged forth, transforming into armor of various shapes that covered all of Shion's bodies.

In this state, she bears a resemblance to a priestess whose power goes berserk.

She truly lives up to her reputation as a priestess of the Land of Demons, a tradition passed down through generations.

Putting everything else aside, just the sheer amount of chakra comparable to that of the Uzumaki clan is enough to make any average ninja drool with envy!

Given this situation, it seems that the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique can be taught to Shion ahead of schedule.

Feng Qi pondered this in his heart.

"Be careful, Feng Qi! My current strength is greater than all of Azuho's combined strength!"

The seven Ziyuan spoke in unison, rubbing their hands together and rushing towards Feng Qi, displaying considerable confidence.

After a battle.

All six of Shion's clones were destroyed, and her true form lay on the ground with a bruised and swollen face, looking utterly hopeless as she stared blankly at the blue sky and white clouds above.

"Your clone technique is pretty good, but your physical skills are lacking; you need to practice more."

Feng Qi leaned against a large tree, resting his head on his arms, and gave his comments earnestly.

Chapter 112. What the Shadow Should Do

112.

As the sun sets, a thick night blankets the entire Ghost City, leaving only a few scattered, dim lights.

Deep within a dark and damp alley, several ninjas lurked.

"Lord Huang Quan, we can't find the location of the demon's seal. What should we do next?" one of the ninjas asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Wraith is an immortal and indestructible great demon, and must still exist in some corner of the Land of Demons."

The leader of the dark medical ninjas, Huang Quan, had a gloomy expression and looked up at the high-altitude Shrine Maiden Castle.

As the most loyal follower of the demon Wangliang, he has been plotting to liberate Wangliang and destroy the entire ninja world.

According to his speculation, the sealing technique that restricts the soul of the demon will need another two or three years to reach its weakest point, and that will be the best time to take action.

However, when he came to the Land of Demons to observe the strength of the seal some time ago, he was completely dumbfounded:

The forbidden area was destroyed, and the spirit of the demon vanished without a trace!

“We’ve explored every possible place, leaving only the core area where the priestess lives.”

At this point, a ruthless glint flashed in Huang Quan's eyes, "Damn the Land of Demons, have they already discovered our plan?!"

"Then let's not delay, Lady Huang Quan, let's infiltrate now!" said the female ninja in the group.

Aside from Huang Quan, these four followers are siblings who are ambitious and have rather dangerous ideas.

"Wait a little longer. That white-eyed Taoist priest who appeared on the street during the day is no ordinary person."

Recalling the scene he had witnessed during the day, Huang Quan's expression turned solemn. "Konoha's S-rank rogue ninja, Hyuga Kazeki!"

Based on the information he had gathered over this period of time, he had ample reason to suspect that Hyuga Fuuki was an accomplice invited by the Land of Demons and that he was closely related to the disappearance of the spirit of the demon!

The process was a complete mess, but the result was pretty close to the mark.

"He's just a traitor who was expelled from the ninja village. How could he possibly be more powerful than all of us combined?" someone said dismissively.

"That's right, Lord Huang Quan, you can rest assured. If that fool dares to show up and cause trouble, the four of us siblings will have a good time with him!"
