Naruto: Starting with the Celebrity of Japan

Luanxiu is now leading his team westward.

Based on his estimation, his group's route was a complete turnaround.

On the first day, they barely made it from Konoha Village to the mission location.

The next day, they launched a surprise attack from their mission location toward the Water Kingdom, all the way to Misty Canyon.

Today is the third day, and they plan to turn back from Misty Canyon to the border of the Fire Kingdom.

In this way, the enemy situation along the entire route can be ascertained.

If no further orders are issued from Konoha.

Ranshu also plans to take Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma on other routes.

Firstly, he can continue to accumulate battle merits; secondly, by showing off his skills, he can continue to improve his strength through the system...

"By now, the Minato Squad should have arrived in the Land of Earth. I wonder how far along the Kannabi Bridge mission is."

Random thoughts.

In the original work, after arriving at the battlefield in the Land of Earth, Minato's team will soon split into two.

Minato Namikaze went to support Mimaki Ye, whose troops had been reduced to only four survivors by Iwagakure.

Meanwhile, Kakashi's squad was tasked with blowing up the bridge on their own...

Just then.

While Ranshu was still deep in thought, he suddenly heard a noise nearby, which seemed to indicate that there were ninjas active in the vicinity.

"Hmm? Someone's approaching. Prepare for battle!"

Luanxiu quickly reminded the two of this.

Kurenai and Asuma reacted quickly, immediately hiding behind the surrounding rocks.

Luanxiu also hid behind a rock.

A few dozen seconds later, three Hidden Mist Ninja appeared.

They walked to where the Chaotic Show team had been and stopped for a while, then talked to each other.

And the content of their conversation was actually related to Luanxiu and his group.

"Have you heard? It seems there's a group from Konoha operating in the northern part of the Land of Whirlpools lately, and many of the ninja stationed there have already been killed!"

"Hey, Eikichi! Don't talk nonsense. The people from Konoha are all in the Land of Earth right now. There wouldn't be anyone that strong here."

"It's true, Katayama-kun! Tamura-kun, what he said is true!"

"Shintaro, I and Hirata Ichiro have both heard about this. Don't take it lightly; you need to be careful."

……

Listening to the conversation between the three Hidden Mist Villagers, Ran Shu roughly figured out their names.

The first person to speak was a guy named Eikichi Tamura, and the two people who followed him were Shintaro Katayama and Ichiro Hirata.

hiss--

Why do these names seem so familiar?

Luanxiu raised an eyebrow, as if she had remembered something...

However, since it has been confirmed that the other side are all from Kirigakure, there's not much more to say.

Luanxiu exchanged a glance with Hong and Asuma.

Then all three of them came out.

Having learned from the experience of the sneak attack on Kirigakure a few days ago, Ranshu had all the team members change into Kirigakure ninja attire this morning and remove all three of their Konoha headbands.

This would allow them to carry out assassinations and raids more effectively.

Especially for Kurenai Yuhi, Ranshu demanded that she change out of her eye-catching red and white outfit—Ranshu had already witnessed just how eye-catching it was last night—in order to avoid easily attracting the attention of the Kirigakure ninja.

That's why the three of them dared to walk up to the Hidden Mist ninja so brazenly.

The three Hidden Mist ninjas who were resting were startled when they suddenly saw three people appear.

But the next second they saw that these people were wearing their own clothes, and they felt a little relieved.

The ninja named Shintaro Katayama said:

"You scared me to death! You're allies! We were just talking about Konoha ninjas, and then you suddenly appeared. You really gave me a fright, haha..."

"Haha, really?"

Ranshu responded to him, but his footsteps never stopped as he gradually approached Shintaro Katayama.

At that moment, Shintaro Katayama, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, finally realized that something was wrong.

These three "friendly forces" in front of me seem to have some ill intentions...

He stood up and asked warily:

"Wait, who are you? You're not a Hidden Mist ninja!"

Ranxiu simply smiled and approached him, replying:

"I am Corporal Morishita."

"Who?"

Katayama Shintaro was stunned for a moment.

He searched his memory but could not find a companion named Corporal Morishita.

Who is this person?

Before he could fully react, a kunai suddenly appeared from Ranshu's hand and plunged into Shintaro Katayama's neck, interrupting his thoughts.

"Hmm... Heh..."

Shintaro Katayama looked at Ranshu with a horrified expression.

But he could no longer speak...

On the other side, Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma also made their move at the same time, quickly defeating Eikichi Tamura and Ichiro Hirata.

Things happened so fast that Katayama-kun had no time to react at all.

And the last scene that Katayama-kun saw in this world...

Ranxiu walked up to him, wiped his kunai with his own clothes, and whispered to him:

"You speak so listlessly. In your next life, be more energetic."

……

The above-described combat process is the attack method that Luanxiu and his gang have been using most frequently in the past few days.

Efficient and direct.

Countless members of the Hidden Mist have fallen victim to them.

Luanxiu took out the mission record scroll and added a few more strokes to it.

Then, as was customary, he addressed the other two:

"Rest in place for 5 minutes."

After saying that, Ranxiu ran to the three dead bodies one by one...

Although Asuma had seen this scene many times, he still didn't understand what Ranshu was doing.

Following Luanxiu's instructions, he casually leaned against a rock, took out his water bottle, and started drinking.

But she couldn't help but complain to Kurenai Yuhi:

"No, why does he keep going to those dead people? It's really strange..."

Kurenai Yuhi smiled after hearing Asuma's complaint.

She looked tenderly at Ranshu and explained to Asuma:

"Let him be. Ran-soo is a kind person."

"?"

No, when did Hong and Ranxiu become partners?

Asma didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.

……

Ranshu was unaware that Asuma was talking about him, nor did he know that Kurenai was kindly making excuses for his actions.

All he knew was...

This time, when he used the system to devour the dead, something he had never seen before appeared...

New changes!
