Chapter 147 The First Battle of Xiao Nan and Her Two Friends (First and Second Updates)

"Where to?"

Yahiko asked expectantly.

Konan and Nagato weren't as excited as he was, but they were also very happy to be able to go out on missions.

They're just kids after all.

Precocious as they may be, a child's nature is not so easily suppressed.

Especially since they had been learning ninjutsu for so long, they had long wanted to show it to others.

"The Land of Snow."

Xia Mu chuckled and said.

"Never heard of it."

Yahiko scratched his head and guessed, "It sounds like a country where it snows every day."

Xiao Nan's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.

She had never seen snow, so she was curious about it.

"You guessed right, the Land of Snow is covered in snow; it's a world of ice and snow."

Xia Mu reminded them, "You can prepare a few more clothes."

Yahiko and the other two nodded.

"We'll set off again tomorrow."

Xia Mu changed the subject and asked, "Xiao Nan, how did you awaken the Blood Demon Art: Blood Burst?"

"Blood Demon Art: Blood Explosion? Is that the name of the ability I just used?"

Xiao Nan was slightly taken aback and asked in return.

"Um."

Xia Mu explained, "I call this new series of blood-based secret techniques Blood Demon Arts."

"Didn't Teacher Xia Mu give me a lot of explosive tags before? He told me to learn how to use them when I had time."

Xiao Nan continued, "When I was researching a few days ago, I suddenly felt a sense of connection, and that's how I mastered the Blood Demon Art: Blood Burst."

"That's quite a coincidence."

Xia Mu couldn't help but laugh.

He gave Xiaonan the explosive tag because he wanted to see if she could figure out on her own the paper manipulation technique she used in the original work.

But unexpectedly, it became connected with the Blood Demon Art: Blood Explosion.

However, there are indeed some commonalities between the two, such as explosion and flame.

Natsuki suddenly looked at Yahiko.

His blood demon magic is related to ice and snow.

Perhaps this trip to the Land of Snow will bring me some insights.

"I've tried it too, but my blood can't explode."

Yahiko noticed his gaze and spoke.

"Although you all used my blood, the corresponding Blood Demon Arts are different, and are related to your own characteristics."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mu said, "Don't rush, just try them all, you'll eventually get the hang of it, and maybe you'll even understand it this time when you go to the Snow Country."

"Um."

Yahiko breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was somewhat disappointed that he hadn't mastered the Blood Demon Art, it wasn't too bad.

His main concern was that Xia Mu would be disappointed.

"Konan, your abilities are not limited to Blood Demon Art: Blood Burst."

Xia Mu pinched her cheek and said, "You still need to keep working hard."

Xiao Nan nodded shyly.

"Although comprehension is important, regular training should not be neglected."

Xia Mu withdrew his hand and said, "It's been almost half a year since the last check-up, so today is a good day to have it checked."

""

"I'll go first!"

Yahiko quickly replied.

Natsuki nodded and stepped aside with Konan and Nagato.

Yahiko immediately demonstrated all of them: Shave, Moonwalk, Iron Body, and Finger Pistol.

Xia Mu was somewhat surprised to see this.

You learned so quickly?

It wasn't that fast before.

Xia Mu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and figured out the reason.

Yahiko is no longer a simple human, but a half-human, half-demon.

His physical strength has increased significantly compared to before.

As a martial art, the Six Styles of the Navy rely heavily on physical strength.

If your physical strength meets the requirements, you will learn very quickly.

"Xiao Nan".

Thinking of this, Xia Mu patted Xiao Nan on the shoulder.

Konan stepped forward and demonstrated Shave, Moonwalk, Iron Body, and Finger Pistol.

Xia Mu thought to himself, "As expected."

Both of them learned the Six Styles of the Navy at the same time at an accelerated pace.

There is no other reasonable explanation other than that they all turned into ghosts.

"very nice."

Xia Mu met Xiao Nan's gaze and said with a smile.

Xiao Nan immediately felt relieved.

She happily left the field.

Finally, it was Nagato's turn.

He surprised Xia Mu even more.

In addition to Shave, Moonwalk, Iron Body, and Finger Pistol, he also learned Armament Haki.

For the first time, Xia Mu experienced what it meant to be a peerless genius.

No wonder Nagato in the original work mastered all five elemental ninjutsu after studying with Jiraiya for three years.

One of the most likely reasons Hanzo kidnapped Konan is that Amegakure couldn't defeat Akatsuki head-on.

This indirectly shows that Nagato's strength at the time definitely qualifys him as an elite Jonin.

Natsuki thought of the template for Unohana Retsu.

The conditions for Nikushizuki's Shikai and Bankai are that he has two students with the strength of Jonin.

But one of them must inherit flying and healing skills, while the other must inherit swordsmanship.

Now that Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato have all learned Moonwalk, they have met the condition for inheriting flight.

The next step is to have them inherit healing and swordsmanship.

All three of them can learn swordsmanship.

Inherited treatment is undoubtedly the most troublesome.

In the original work, neither Konan nor Yahiko possessed medical ninjutsu, so Nagato had to inherit it.

Nagato possessed all six chakra natures except for the Yin nature.

Moreover, he also possesses the Rinnegan.

The Rinnegan is used extensively in Yang Release techniques, such as the Outer Path: Rinne Heavenly Technique.

"Nagato, you are ready to move on to the next stage of your training."

Xia Mu thought for a moment and said, "I'll teach you swordsmanship first."

As for treatment, there's no rush.

After all, Nagato doesn't have the strength of a Jonin yet, so he can wait until he has the ability to protect himself before learning medical ninjutsu.

"Thank you, Teacher Xia Mu."

Suppressing her excitement, Nagato quickly said...

Yahiko couldn't help but feel envious.

But it's alright.

He and Konan are only one Armament Haki away from the next stage of their training.

Once you master Armament Haki, you can learn swordsmanship just like Nagato.

Moreover, they also received special abilities from Natsuki, transforming into demons.

"You need a sword before you can learn swordsmanship."

Xia Mu reached out and used projection magic.

For a projected sword to closely resemble the original, the amount of chakra used depends on its chakra content.

The Thor's sword that he often projects is actually not close to the original.

Because the Thunder God's Sword contains crystallized lightning chakra, projecting it consumes a lot of chakra.

He usually only projects about one-tenth of the image.

This is why he didn't project the Magic Weather Wand before.

Even with the combined Water Release chakra crystals and Lightning Release chakra crystals, his chakra might not be enough.

It's not too late to project it after unlocking the infinite magic of the Artoria template.

"This sword is called the Kusanagi Sword."

Natsuki gave this grass sword, which was almost identical to the original, to Nagato.

Its shape is closer to a straight samurai sword, which is the Kusanagi sword used by Sasuke Uchiha in the original work.

"Thank you, Teacher Xia Mu."

Nagato accepted the Kusanagi sword.

Although he didn't understand swords, he could sense that this sword was extraordinary.

The entire blade gleamed faintly, making it look very sharp.

"While we have some time, I'll teach you some basic swordsmanship."

Natsuki took out the meat shizuku.

He planned to start by teaching Zoro's One-Sword Style swordsmanship.

After Nagato learns it, then teach him the Water Breathing technique.

Water Breathing involves Water Release techniques, making it more difficult to learn.

The next day arrived.

After breakfast, Natsuki led Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato toward the Land of Snow.

The Land of Snow is located in the far north of the ninja world.

Starting from the Land of Rain, passing through the Land of Birds and the Land of Bears, you can reach the Land of Demons.

You must travel north from the Land of Demons to reach the Land of Snow.

Since they were going through the Land of Demons, Natsuki decided to stop by and see Kakuzu.

Wow! So many birds!

After leaving the Land of Rain, Yahiko was in a state of excitement.

This was the first time he had ever left the Land of Rain, and everything he saw was completely new to him.

Konan and Nagato were the same, but they were more restrained than Yahiko.

Night falls.

The group arrived in the Land of Bears.

After the initial novelty wore off, the three of them returned to normal.

After dinner, Xia Mu told them a lot of things to be aware of when going out on missions.

Although they are not ninjas from the Five Great Villages, they share the same experience.

That's about enough, I'll stop here.

Xia Mu paused for a moment and then said, "Next, we'll take turns keeping watch and sleeping, and the four of us will be divided into two groups."

"Ms. Natsuki, I'd like to be in your group."

Xiao Nan spoke up.

"Alright then."

Natsuki glanced at her and said, "Yahiko and Nagato, you two go to sleep first. Konan and I will call you when it's time."

"Yes, Ms. Natsuki."

Yahiko and Nagato got up and went into the tent.

"Come and sit down."

Xia Mu waved to Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan moved over and sat next to him.

She looked up at Xia Mu.

"Keeping watch isn't about watching me, it's about watching the surroundings."

Xia Mu tapped her forehead and said.

Xiao Nan paused for a moment, then turned her head and looked into the distance.

Xia Mu couldn't help but smile.

The current Konan has a personality that differs considerably from that in the original work.

After all, Yahiko didn't die, Nagato didn't turn evil, and the Akatsuki organization developed even better.

At midnight, it was Yahiko and Nagato's turn to keep watch.

Xia Mu and Xiao Nan returned to the tent and took out their sleeping bags.

Perhaps because she was too tired from keeping watch, Xiao Nan crawled into her sleeping bag and fell asleep almost immediately.

Another new day.

The group continued on their journey.

At night, they crossed the Land of Bears and arrived at the Land of Demons.

They won't need to sleep in the wild tonight.

Because they came to Dawn Corporation's branch office.

Let's find out about Natsuki and Kakuzu's recent situation.

In summary, everything went very smoothly.

The next day.

Natsuki and the others bid farewell to Kakuzu and headed to the Land of Snow.

When it got close enough, the temperature suddenly changed and it started to snow.

"It's going to get colder and colder, so you should all put on warmer clothes."

Xia Mu spoke up.

Although ninjas can use chakra to resist the cold, it consumes extra chakra.

Especially during the execution of tasks, we try to save as much as possible.

In the original work, when Kakashi Hatake, Naruto Uzumaki, and others went to the Land of Snow to carry out a mission, they also changed into thick clothes.

Xia Mu looked at Xiao Nan.

She wore a heavy white trench coat that resembled a dress, along with a white scarf, covering herself up completely.

This made her, who was already petite, even more adorable.

Xiao Nan looked up and met his gaze.

A smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Let's go."

Xia Mu smiled and said.

The four of them soon entered the Land of Snow.

A silvery-white world came into view.

Snowflakes then began to fall heavily.

"The snow is so deep!"

Looking at the footprints he had made, Yahiko couldn't help but sigh.

"It feels similar to our Land of Rain."

Nagato looked around and said, "It's snowing in one place and raining in the other."

"But the Land of Snow is more fortunate than our Land of Rain."

Yahiko grabbed a handful of snow and said, "At least the war didn't break out here."

Nagato fell silent for a moment.

Xia Bao shook his head.

It's not good for precocious children to have this problem; they tend to overthink things from a young age.

Itachi Uchiha, the Lion King.

Of course, Fugaku Uchiha also bears a large part of the responsibility.

What father would bring his four-year-old son to the battlefield?

"Our Akatsuki organization's goal is to end the war in the Land of Rain."

Xiao Nan suddenly said with a serious expression, "Thanks to Teacher Xia Bao's presence, we definitely deserve to do our best."

"good!"

Yahiko's spirits lifted, and he agreed, saying, "The future of the Land of Rain will not be worse than that of the Land of Snow!"

Nagato didn't speak, but he nodded.

Xia Bao felt a little pressure.

Rebuilding the Land of Rain is not difficult; the difficulty lies in dealing with Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu.

Fortunately, he still had enough time to plan.

The group continued forward.

There are no supporting ninja villages in the Land of Snow; the Snow Ninja Clan is just one of the ninja clans in the Land of Snow.

This situation is similar to that of the Land of Rice Fields. Before Orochimaru arrived, the Land of Rice Fields did not suffer losses in terms of ninja villages, but it did suffer losses in terms of ninja clans.

The reason why the ninja village didn't suffer losses is simple: they weren't strong enough.

There weren't enough ninjas, nor were there any strong enough individuals to serve as village leaders.

Establishing a ninja village rashly under such circumstances would make it a target of public criticism, and the most likely outcome would be the destruction of the village and the extinction of the clan.

The Snow Ninja Clan and Fuuka Nutō risked their lives in the hope of gaining the support of the Land of Snow, thus establishing a ninja village out of gratitude.

As for the current Daimyo of the Land of Snow, Kazahana Hayate, he does not want to favor any particular ninja clan.

After all, supporting the Snow Ninja Clan requires suppressing other ninja clans.

It was noon.

"The target of our mission is the Snow Ninja Clan."

Xia Bao stopped and said, "They are skilled at manipulating ice and snow in battle."

"So what is our mission?"

Yahiko asked curiously.

"Defeat them."

Xia Bao replied.

"what?"

Yahiko's eyes widened instinctively, and he asked, "Are we from the Four West?"

"What? You don't believe in my abilities?"

Xia Bao countered with a question.

"No loss!"

Yahiko quickly shook his head and said.

Why should we defeat them?

Nagato asked, puzzled.

"This mission comes from the Daimyo of the Land of Snow, Kazahana Hayateru."

Xia Mu said, half-truthfully, "He discovered that his younger brother, Feng Hua Nu Tao, was plotting to usurp the throne in alliance with the Xue Ren clan."

"So that's what lions are like."

Yahiko's face showed a look of realization, and he said.

For a moment, he felt relieved.

After all, in his view, the Snow Ninja Clan had become villains who were destroying the peace of the Land of Snow.

"After completing this mission, Dawn Corporation can open a branch in the Snow Country."

Xia Bao chuckled and said, "You guys have to work hard!"

"The orchid decays with us!"

Yahiko said with great enthusiasm.

Konan and Nagato nodded seriously.

Xia Bao led them toward the Snow Ninja Clan's outpost.

Because they made no attempt to conceal themselves, they were quickly discovered by the ninjas of the Snow Village clan.

"Who is it?"

Shishi Yukino appeared before them.

"Let's do it."

Xia Bao ignored them and spoke up.

Leaf Cyclone!

Nagato was the first to react.

He suddenly kicked out.

Bang!

The snow ninja closest to him reacted quickly, raising her right leg to block his kick.

Nagato was not surprised and immediately threw a punch.

Xue Ren also delivered a punch.

Just as the fist was about to strike, Nagato loosened his grip and flicked his index finger at the decaying body.

Upon seeing this, Xue Ren couldn't help but laugh.

When the index finger and fist collide, the winner is obvious.

Finger gun!

The chakra, as sharp as a bullet, pierced through the Snow Ninja's fist.

His sickly smile froze, and he let out a scream.

Armament Haki!

Nagato landed another punch on the Snow Ninja.

The Armament Haki that had been wrapped around his fist was released instantly.

A powerful shockwave stunned the Snow Ninja, sending him flying backward and crashing headfirst into Snow Mouth.

Yahiko and Konan are not slow either.

In an instant, the snow ninjas closest to them launched an attack.

shave!

Yahiko Issei instantly appeared in front of the Snow Ninja.

Before he could react, a Western roundhouse kick came from above.

Wrapped Leaf Whirlwind!

Xue Ren subconsciously raised her arms.

But the immense force caused an incredulous expression to appear on his face.

He never expected that the seemingly thin Yahiko would have such great strength.

This is thanks to the added benefit of the fresh blood from the summer pupa.

Seeing that he had taken the lead in the first round, Yahiko felt even more excited.

After all, the Snow Ninja on the other side is a Chunin.

Finger gun!

Yahiko pressed his advantage and launched a counterattack.

Like the previous snow ninja, this West Snow Ninja had no idea that this finger strike would be so powerful.

He reached for Yahiko, but his palm was pierced.

As blood splattered, he froze in pain for a few seconds.

Yahiko seized the opportunity, leaped up, and struck him in the neck with a powerful whirlwind attack, knocking him unconscious.

Blood Demon Art: Blood Burst!

Xiao Nan stood at the entrance and raised her hand.

Fresh blood gushed out like a torrent.

Xue Ren frowned upon seeing this.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone manipulate blood to launch an attack.

For safety's sake, he immediately took a step back and raised his hands.

The decaying ice and snow rose up, turning into bitter herbs, and flew towards Xiao Nan.

The number of bitter creatures was so great that they had covered her entire surroundings.

With a thought, Xiao Nan caused the blood to explode amidst her bitter hatred.

In an instant, scorching heat spread.

The moment the burning blood touched the bitterness, it melted it into water.

"What?"

Xue Ren couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He quickly formed hand seals to summon more ice and snow.

Xiao Nan opened her arms.

Blood gushed from his palm.

Flames surrounded the blood, and wherever they passed, ice and snow melted.

When it reached the Snow Ninja, blood suddenly exploded.

The flames fell on his body, causing him to scream in agony.

Xiao Nan lunged forward and knocked him unconscious, then extinguished the flames, preventing his death.

She remembered Xia Bao's words: defeat them, not kill them.

The remaining one, Yukito, felt only a daze, as all three of her teammates had already been defeated.

He instinctively shouted, "Enemy attack!"

Xia Bao did not fail to stop them.

Because that's his goal.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of Xixue Ren flew out from the gate.

Xia Bao glanced at it and nodded slightly.

The number of ninjas is not bad, about forty in total.

After they joined the Akatsuki, the Akatsuki lost even more manpower.
