Mysterious, but Naruto

The attacker's idea was to retreat temporarily, relying on his superhuman physique, and that his hands would recover in no time.

Even if the opponent has a gun, I will be the one to win in the end thanks to my slowing fog.

But what he didn't expect was that this retreat would completely cut off his own path to survival.

Audrey didn't know how many people attacked her; all she knew was that the plume of black smoke in front of her greatly affected her thinking and actions.

She currently only knows two ninjutsu: the basic clone technique and the Great Fireball Technique.

In this situation, she didn't even need to think to know which technique to use. Coincidentally, the Great Fireball Technique released a huge fireball that could not only attack the enemy but also clear away the black mist in front of her.

Si-Wei-Shen-Hai-Wu-Yin

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

To the astonishment of the attackers, the small flame that Audrey had spewed from her mouth grew larger and larger, not only dispersing the black smoke but also completely filling the entire alley.

boom!

The fireball exploded directly in the alley, shattering the brick walls on both sides and leaving flames all over the ground.

Mr. A, who was standing at the second-floor window, was quite surprised to see the flames shooting into the sky.

"This is... a fire mage?"

In fact, this turn of events not only surprised Mr. A, but also those watching from the sidelines.

Looking at the raging flames, they subconsciously felt fortunate for their choice; thankfully, they had been cautious and hadn't gone up to test the two newcomers' skills.

As for Audrey, she had no idea what the people outside were thinking. She was just afraid that the other party was not dead, so she immediately took out an explosive tag and threw it at the other party.

Following Count Hall's request, and after learning that the talismans in this world were mostly not made of paper, Louis also updated all the talismans, including the explosive talismans, to be made into badge-like designs.

The explosive tag that Audrey threw out at that moment should actually be called an explosive spell according to the terminology of this world.

It is hexagonal in shape and slightly larger than a gold coin, making it quite convenient to use as a hexagonal dart.

At that moment, the detonating talisman was activated by Audrey using chakra and flew out directly.

The attacker had only escaped being hit directly by the fireball because he was fast on his feet, but he still couldn't escape the subsequent explosion.

The scimitar in his hand broke off at the hilt, and the blade is now nowhere to be found.

As he got up from the ground, his original black clothes had been replaced with tattered beggar's clothes, and due to the damage to his internal organs, he could only smell the blood in his mouth and nose.

Because Audrey had not practiced throwing techniques, the explosive talisman she threw did not actually hit the attacker, but instead flew past him and landed behind him.

But it doesn't matter, the detonating talisman itself deals area damage.

After the explosion, the attacker, who had no time to react, was severely injured and propelled by the blast wave toward Audrey and the others.

boom! boom! boom!

Upon seeing the approaching attacker, Grelint's first thought was that the attacker would continue to attack, so he immediately fired all the remaining bullets from his gun.

"Cough, cough, vomit!"

As the attacker died before her eyes, Audrey felt a wave of discomfort throughout her body. Her chest ached, her arms ached, and she felt nauseous and dizzy.

This nausea and vomiting wasn't due to the discomfort of killing someone; it was simply a lingering effect of the previous adrenaline rush.

At this moment, Grelint couldn't care less about Audrey. Instead, he quickly reloaded, preparing to fire a few more shots at the man on the ground.

But before he could fire, he noticed that the blood flowing from the man on the ground was no longer red, but mixed with black and blue.

In a short while, the dark blue blood condensed together and eventually transformed into a dark heart flowing with blue blood.

Grelint instinctively reached for the heart, but was stopped by Audrey.

"Wait, that's the extraordinary property. Don't touch it directly, let me handle it."

Audrey kept the heart in a makeup case she carried with her.

During this time, she did not forget to follow Louis's advice to use her mental energy or chakra to isolate these extraordinary properties from direct contact with other objects.

After Audrey finished dealing with the heart on the ground, Grelint helped her walk towards the carriage.

They ran right into the coachman who was approaching from the sound of gunfire.

With the help of the two men, Audrey returned to the carriage.

Grynt immediately ordered the coachman, "Quickly, get out of here!"

Audrey began tending to her injuries in the car, as there were other people around, and she couldn't easily pull open her clothes to check on them.

Fortunately, chakra itself is also a form of sensing, which allowed her to know that she had broken her ribs and radius.

Although Audrey doesn't know medical ninjutsu, chakra itself is a panacea and has some healing abilities, but its effects are far inferior to those of true medical ninjutsu.

Even with poor treatment results, recovery is still faster than without treatment.

Most importantly, Audrey can use chakra to fix her broken bones, thus preventing further damage.

As for the activation spell, it is not a true magic spell. It can only repair surface damage and is helpless against the internal injuries suffered by Audrey.

Unless Audrey is willing to go to extreme lengths and cut open the surface of her arm and chest cavity to expose the broken bones inside.

In that case, a healing spell could be used.

If Audrey really wanted to, this treatment method, although it looked bloody, would actually lead to a very fast recovery, at least much faster than her own chakra healing.

Previously, because her safety was threatened, Audrey didn't have the mind to think about it much, but now that she had calmed down, she felt a lingering fear.

Previously, whether from the Hanged Man or other groups, there was some understanding of the cruelty of the path of the Extraordinary, but that was all.

Only now did she truly realize what this road was really like, completely different from what she had initially imagined, and not romantic at all!

"Audrey, is this really the life you want?"

At this moment, she felt lost, unsure whether everything she had worked so hard for was truly worthwhile.

But she also knew that she had no way out, not only because she herself was now an extraordinary being, but also because she now had her entire family behind her.

Having already pledged allegiance to Mr. Rokudo, they had no way to retreat and could only continue on their path.

Because of this incident, Audrey inevitably felt guilty towards her family, feeling that it was because of her that they were also forced into this cruel and bloody path.

Of course, Audrey was unaware that her father, Earl Hall, was eager to follow this path.

After a period of melancholy and autumnal reflection, Audrey began to review her recent battle.

"The black smoke blocked my vision as soon as it came up, rendering my Sharingan useless. Of course, I didn't even realize I was going to use my Sharingan."

Otherwise, this fight could have ended with just one look from him...

Besides the Sharingan, there was also a problem with how I released the Fireball Jutsu. I should have released it higher so that it could have hit the opponent directly instead of landing first and relying on the subsequent explosion to injure them.

As for the explosive talisman, that's an even bigger problem... Looks like I'll have to find a darts master and learn how to throw darts from him.

As Audrey closed her eyes in deep thought, Grelint, inside the carriage, looked at her with a peculiar gaze.

Although he already knew that Audrey had become extraordinary, he did not expect that she would be able to spit out such a large fireball in one breath!

Although Grelint's initial motivation for becoming extraordinary was to gain a healthier body and a longer lifespan so that she could better enjoy her aristocratic life.

But after witnessing the power Audrey casually displayed, he was tempted again.

He felt that as a powerful aristocrat, it was perfectly normal for him to want both power and status.

It can only be said that power and strength are truly the best remedy for a man's rejuvenation.

Ever since Grelint inherited the family title and acquired a fortune that would last several lifetimes, he has actually lacked ambition.

After all, he felt that he already had everything and lacked nothing, so there was no need for him to struggle in the rest of his life; he could just enjoy it.

But now, after witnessing the power Audrey possessed, he felt he had an epiphany: his future life goal was to climb the path of the extraordinary as much as possible.

However, Grynt then began to worry, since tonight's party was, frankly, his assessment task.

This tests his ability to remain undercover at the gathering for an extended period, gathering intelligence and supplies for the Akatsuki organization.

But this was only his first day there, and he was ambushed and killed by people at the party. If it weren't for Audrey, he would have died here today.

Having witnessed the power of extraordinary beings, how could he possibly be content to go back to being an ordinary person?

Thinking of this, Grylint reached out and pressed his hand to his breast pocket, where he kept the two potion recipes he had previously purchased from Mr. A.

If he fails this test, these two formulas will be his reliance for entering the circle of extraordinary individuals in the future.

However, if he could, he would still like to join the Akatsuki organization.

Regardless of how deeply he, as a high-ranking official, understands the impact of having or not having powerful backers.

He knew Audrey well; she hadn't been an Extraordinary for very long, yet judging from her previous battles, even when her opponent launched a surprise attack, she was still able to turn the tide and win.

As for whether he was injured as a result, Grylint didn't seem to care much.

When he treated Constance before, he personally witnessed how Audrey helped a partially paralyzed person get out of bed.

Conversely, those individual extraordinary individuals without a powerful backer may be stronger individually and have a sharper combat awareness, but in terms of functionality, they are definitely not as good as those who have the support of an entire powerful force.

Moreover, even from the perspective of strength alone, Audrey might not be weaker than those scattered extraordinary individuals.

The two parted ways quickly, and Louis received a mission briefing from Audrey.

After learning that Audrey had been injured during a mission, Louis opened a spatial rift for her to enter.

When Audrey arrived at the Divine Tree Space, she saw Louis posting a newly written notice about member benefits on the display board in the library.

All members of the Genin rank and above who are injured in the line of duty can choose to receive free treatment from the organization.

Members who are injured outside of missions are also eligible for a 50% discount...

This matter can be pushed forward, and it can be considered a side effect of Louis's recent research on the "parasite" saint.

By helping the saint recover, Louis gained a deeper understanding of the soul.

Saying "understand" is not quite accurate; it would be more accurate to say "master."

Louis acquired this knowledge from Ōtsutsuki Shibai, but he only knew it and never actually tried it himself.

It's like you've learned a certain concept from a book, but when you actually try to solve a problem, you find that it's a completely different story.

Louis was in a similar situation; thanks to Otsutsuki Shibai, he directly learned all ninjutsu and divine techniques.

In fact, this kind of understanding is not simply like learning a certain knowledge point from a book, but more like having used it thousands of times and it has become a familiar part of one's soul.

But it seems that, before actually doing it yourself, the two feelings are completely different.

Now, Louis is taking advantage of this rare opportunity to regain control of his soul.

Thus, in this divine tree space, in addition to those extraordinary rabbits, a group of ninja beast rabbits appeared.

Each of these ninja rabbits possesses a decent amount of chakra.

That's not all. The key point is that Louis directly imprinted knowledge about chakra refinement and some ninjutsu into their souls.

With these rabbits as practice subjects, Louis could later teach any Akatsuki member a ninjutsu with a single click, if they wished.

After being implanted with different ninjutsu techniques, these ninja rabbits naturally split into three groups.

The first batch of rabbits wore white coats, nurse caps, and headbands with the character "晓" (Xiao) engraved on them. They also had small cloth bags with rusted red crosses slung across their waists.

Louis implanted medical ninjutsu and related knowledge into them, making them completely capable of replacing a seasoned medical ninja.

The second batch of rabbits wore postman hats with a logo bearing the character "晓" (Xiao) in the middle, green vests, and carried small brown leather bags on their sides.

These rabbits are primarily used for communication and delivering supplies, so they are best suited for using summoning and reverse summoning techniques, in addition to other minor ninjutsu that facilitate movement.

As for the last wave of rabbits, they were dressed in all sorts of strange and wonderful ways: some wore headbands, some wore vests, some held calligraphy brushes, and some carried huge carrots on their backs.

These rabbits are good at everything: assassination, head-on combat, flanking maneuvers, perception, sealing—in short, they excel at fighting.

Louis plans to have all members of the Jonin rank and above sign contracts with Ninja Rabbit.

In this way, whether it's bringing members to this divine space or exchanging supplies for members in the future, it can all be done through these ninja rabbits, without him having to take action himself anymore.
