Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

Despite his large size, Xiong is actually a ninja with both maximum strength and agility.

He was considered quite skilled even among ordinary Jonin.

"You're surprisingly strong!"

"Team Leader Mu, are you trying to overthrow the Heavenly Gang?"

Xiong's tone was somewhat resentful. Shouldn't he be the one to say those words?

Upon closer inspection, one can see that there is a faint whistling sound on the ancient wooden blade. The force of the air wave it carries allows the ancient wooden blade to block the bear's violent downward strike with just one hand, making it as immovable as an unshakeable mountain.

"Bagua Palm - Breaking Through the Void!!"

Who would have thought that the bear would also know the technique of using the opponent's force against them? It used the force transmitted by the broadsword to instantly release its grip and pounce on the ancient tree's chest like a hungry tiger.

"Wind Release: Cyclone".

The ancient tree didn't even form any hand seals, yet whatever it was called upon appeared, and a hurricane swirled around it.

It easily flung the bear that suddenly attacked away.

"Wind Release?"

Upon seeing Gu Mu's ninjutsu, Xiong's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't quite guess which family Gu Mu belonged to.

After all, Konoha doesn't have any powerful clans that use Wind Release.

The Hyuga clan...

Gu Mu recognized the familiar Bagua Palm technique and knew that the boy was from the Hyuga clan.

Thinking of this, Gu Mu decided not to tease him anymore.

Amidst the puzzled gazes of those around him, he gradually concealed his aura, gently placed the Muramasa demon sword at his waist, and then slowly crouched down.

The ever-condensing aura seemed to form surging waves of energy around the ancient tree, churning like angry tides, causing his black robe to flutter like a flag in a storm.

"Damn!!"

The bear seemed to sense an extremely powerful threat.

It immediately rushed forward again, intending to stop the condensation of the ancient wood's aura.

Actually, that's not the case. Gu Mu could have easily taken advantage of the moment he was thrown into the air and used his sword to kill him instantly.

He did this simply to create the illusion that his sword-drawing slash required a period of charging.

A white aura slowly wafted out from the ancient wooden dog-face mask.

Just as the bear was about to touch the ancient tree, the katana was drawn.

"Raging Breath - Wind Blade Chaos!"

"boom!"

Like a close-range artillery shell impact, leaving knife marks on the ground, Gu Mu instantly moved to another location on the martial arts arena.

As for the bear, it remained frozen in place, holding its knife, without making any further moves.

Everyone seemed to stop breathing for a moment, and the space became eerily quiet.

"Click~"

The sound of the katana being sheathed echoed in the air.

The bear, which had been frozen in place, suddenly had its shirt explode, turning into countless fragments that fell to the ground.

The bear's eyes trembled, but it finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Beneath the mask, his eyes gleamed, relieved that his observation had indeed been correct.

If he had made any movement, the wind blades that were constantly swirling around him would have caused his own body to explode, not his clothes.

"Whoo~"

"I lost. As expected, someone who can be the captain is not easily defeated."

"Team Leader Mu, I admire you."

"If there are any tasks that require our cooperation in the future, feel free to contact me."

After losing the match, Xiong touched his head and appeared relaxed, which suggests that this wasn't the first time he had been defeated.

"Little fool, are you stunned? How about it, am I handsome or not?"

Gu Mu arrived at the deserted Uchiha Shizumizu and, in a rather flamboyant manner, flicked his short white hair.

"Yeah, he's pretty handsome."

"Cough cough cough...."

Gu Mu had expected Jing Shui to retort, but this sudden praise left him speechless.

"Hehe, that won't satisfy you~"

Uchiha Shizumi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile. Her eyes narrowed, gleaming like crescent moons. She knew exactly what kind of response Koki longed for.

"What a pity, even though I'm so handsome, no girl has ever confessed to me."

"What, do you want someone to confess their feelings to you?"

Even though Uchiha Shizumi knew that Koki was joking, she still pouted like an annoyed kitten.

You already have your own life, yet you're still thinking about your sister... Ugh... No, we're not even close to getting together yet!

Uchiha Shizumi blushed, wondering how she had ended up imagining herself as Koki's wife.

It must be this bad guy. He's been calling her "wife" all the time lately, which is why she subconsciously started to identify with him.

[Uchiha Shizumizu, filled with resentment... Harvesting 200 Emotional Points]

Koki was unaware of Uchiha Shizuru's complex emotions and thought that his words might have been inappropriate.

So he explained, "Compared to others, I'd much rather you confess your feelings. Don't worry, you're already very popular with me, I'll accept your advances every time."

Gu Mu's straightforward words caused Uchiha Shizusui's ears to turn slightly red.

"Who...who said I was going to confess to you? You bad guy."

Uchiha Shizusui's voice trembled slightly, but in reality, he was already thinking about this matter.

In her past life, it was always Gu Mu who took the initiative to confess her feelings. Otherwise, why shouldn't she take the initiative this time?

"What a pity, then I can only look for other sisters."

Gu Mu deliberately pretended to be very disappointed.

"Huh? You dare!"

Uchiha's face instantly darkened, and she once again reached her seemingly magical, skillful hand towards the waist of the ancient tree.

"Just kidding~ In this world, who cares about love and romance? Even protecting yourself is a problem."

Beneath the mask, Koki's expression was exceptionally serious. He understood the plot and knew the cruelty of the ninja world.

Therefore, if possible, he hoped that Uchiha Shizuru could also understand, since only by adapting to the environment can one survive.

"Well, I know."

Uchiha Shizuru spoke softly, and even though Koki couldn't see her expression, he knew that this girl's expression must be extremely serious.

That's right. The death of her mother in this world has probably changed her mindset, which is why Uchiha Shizuru has been working so hard to train.

Uchiha Shizumi's hard training was not only for self-preservation; she also secretly hoped to become a great help to Koki in the future.

"Team Leader Mu, Team Leader Mu of the Fourth Squad, please come out immediately. We have a mission that requires your cooperation: an A-level assassination mission."

Before Uchiha Shizumizu could even prepare to go to training, the sudden announcement of a mission from inside the hall immediately brought the two of them to their senses.

"They haven't been swimming for very long, and they already have to go to work?"

Gu Mu was speechless and thought to himself that even if he hadn't been taken away by the truck, he would probably have ended up like this if he had worked in his previous life's environment.

"Alright, let's get out of here."

"By the way, Captain Mu, are you familiar with this A-level mission?"

Uchiha Shizumi has already gotten into the zone; at least within the Anbu, she refers to Koki as Team Koki.

"I don't know, but for an A-rank assassination mission, the target must be at least a Jonin."

Koki brought Uchiha Shizumi to the outside of the base.

There were already four ninjas wearing animal masks over there.

"Come with us. We'll tell you the specifics of our mission on the way."

After saying that, the four people disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Such terrifying teleportation speed left Uchiha Shizuru completely dumbfounded.

How is she supposed to talk to him about this?

"Haha, you're dumbfounded now, aren't you?"
