Naruto: The Progenitor of Demons Starting from Kirigakure

At the village's real estate sales office, Jieluo bought a four-story building with a floor area of ​​over 500 square meters. It features a garden, swimming pool, training ground, and waterfall. The property is located on a mountain next to the village, halfway up the mountain, not near the village center. Looking down, one can see the entire village at a glance.

Originally a village bunker, it served as a lookout post. Although its exterior was unremarkable and gray, the bunker inside had many well-equipped rooms, which were a bit large for two people. What Jieluo valued was its location against the mountain, which would allow for future expansion by carving a tunnel into the mountain.

Because of Lucy, it's not suitable to live with her in a densely populated village.

Let's wait until she can control her abilities before making any decisions.

They paid the money readily, without spending much, just over five million. After checking in, they took Lucy to the village to buy furniture and ingredients.

There weren't many appliances to buy at the furniture market, and the village only had basic water and electricity, roughly at the level of people's livelihood and technology in the 1960s and 70s. When it comes to the technology that supports the ninja world, the village at the forefront should be the Hidden Cloud Village. Many technologies in the future will use lightning, which is electricity. However, the Hidden Mist Village's vegetable market made Jieluo very satisfied.

The abundance of seafood, including various shellfish and shrimp, dazzled Jieluo. Considering that cooking was not feasible at the moment, Jieluo took Lucy to a restaurant for their first meal in Kirigakure.

Fast food restaurants similar to Yoshinoya...

Jieluo glanced at the sign: Akiyama Family, specializing in cheap and large quantities, catering specifically to ninjas.

Upon entering the room, it was filled with Hidden Mist ninjas. This kind of place was off-limits to civilians; it was assumed that civilians were not allowed to enter.

As Jieluo led Lucy into the restaurant and called out to the waiter, the entire restaurant visibly quieted down, and many ninjas noticed Jieluo.

The Hidden Mist ninjas secretly observed Yura. As time passed, in less than half a day, the news of Yura joining the Hidden Mist Village had spread throughout the entire village, making Yura a very famous figure in the Hidden Mist Village.

Standing at the entrance, Jieluo glanced at the numerous Kirigakure ninja. Kirigakure ninja had a distinctive feature: many of them carried swords and were generally skilled swordsmen.

After taking a quick look around, Jie Luo sat down, making an appearance and getting acquainted with the group. He casually ordered some dishes, and after about half an hour, he finished his meal and prepared to return to his accommodation.

However, on the way, a seemingly idle ninja stopped Yura.

It was nighttime, and the streetlights were just coming on, but the lights were dim in the swirling fog. On the long street, a masked ninja carrying a ninja sword blocked Yura's path.

Jieluo tilted her head and looked him over. In the mist on both sides of the street, vague figures moved about, quietly watching this scene.

"I've heard you're very strong." The ninja opposite him tensed up, adopting a defensive posture, and slowly placed his hand on the ninja sword behind his back, saying, "Jonin, Ikugata Kenji of the Kirigakure school, have come to seek your guidance."

Whispers arose from all around.

Who sent them to test us? Jieluo pondered this question, then said, "In a village, is it permissible to act arbitrarily? Who can answer that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold male voice rang out from the fog, saying, "That's fine. As long as the parties involved don't speak out, no one else will interfere." He seemed to be quite kind-hearted.

"I like it here." Jie Luo smiled faintly. Amidst the blood mist, where the people were simple and honest, he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and said, "One strike. I'll give you one chance."

The masked ninja opposite him sneered and said, "Since you underestimate me, one strike will suffice."

The ninjas lurking in the mist watched this scene with excited, bloodthirsty eyes.

A somber atmosphere suddenly filled the air.

The fog thickened, and soon it completely obscured visibility.

Mist-Hidden Flow? Hasn't it been officially named yet?

Jie Luo raised her eyelids slightly, looking at the thick fog.

Kirigakure is still in the process of consolidation, and its ninjutsu resources are mostly concentrated in the hands of elites and ninja clans. This is the same for any ninja village. The technique in front of us is clearly a combination of Kirigakure Technique and Silent Assassination Technique.

How to describe the Hidden Mist Technique? It has great potential. As a ninjutsu that alters the terrain, it has immense potential for development. If used well, it can be extremely powerful.

"Not bad technique, it would be even better if you could tone down your killing intent."

"I'm talking to the masked ninja who's silently approaching through the thick fog," Jieluo said.

Immediately afterward, a sudden clanging sound rang out from the thick fog, and sparks flew everywhere.

The ninjas in the mist tensed up, thinking to themselves, "They've started fighting." Many of them couldn't see what was happening in the mist, but after the first strike, there was no further movement.

Immediately afterwards, a male voice came from somewhere in the fog, saying, "It's over. Kenji has lost."

Immediately following was the sound of someone instantly disappearing.

Some ninjas in the mist couldn't help but wonder, "So fast?"

A moment later, the thick fog dissipated, and the scene on the street gradually became clear. On the bluestone pavement, Kenji sat with his back against a shop, his head drooping and slumped. A long, diagonal slash wound was exposed on his chest, bleeding profusely. His chest rose and fell slightly, indicating that he was still breathing. The ninja sword lay quietly on the ground beside him.

Upon seeing this, the pupils of many ninjas shrank.

Judging from the sound, there was only one strike, so was that strike that knocked the person to the ground along with the sword?

A master swordsman.

The thought crossed everyone's minds, and as they glanced around, they discovered that Jie Luo had already left the scene with his men.

"Hey you..." Kenji weakly lifted his eyelids and said, "Take me to the clinic..."

Seeing this, some ninjas couldn't help but show a gloating expression. If he wasn't dead, then it wasn't a big problem.

A ninja instantly landed beside Kenji, voicing everyone's question and teasing, "I thought you could hold out for a few rounds. How did you lose?"

Confused, Kenji grimaced, cold sweat pouring down his face from the pain, and said, "I don't know. The fog was so thick I couldn't see her. She was incredibly fast. By the time I reacted, I was already on the ground. But if I'm not mistaken, that sword strike was a one-hit kill. I charged straight at her, and Tang Zhu attacked at the same time as me, squeezing my sword aside from the center and slashing at me."

"The wound isn't too deep; the Demon Princess held back." Checking the wound, the ninja smiled and said, "Don't worry, you won't die."

A ninja standing on the rooftop of the opposite building said upon hearing this, "It's entirely a difference in skill, a difference in swordsmanship, it's too obvious."

Another ninja standing to the side held a different opinion, saying, "It's obvious that Oni-hime is stronger. I never expected that such a petite body would contain such monstrous strength that it could overwhelm an adult male ninja."

Everyone looked into the depths of the thick fog, in the direction where Jieluo had left.

"Kenji is too weak; we can't find anything out about him."

"No, he's a Jonin after all. Kenji was careless and overconfident in his swordsmanship. If he had kept his distance and used ninjutsu to probe from afar, his swordsmanship wouldn't have been as effective."

After the discussion, everyone left, and the long street became quiet again.

Only the store owner was left hiding under the counter, letting out a huge sigh of relief.

Walking up the mountain path, Jieluo hummed a cheerful tune. Fighting doesn't require paying medical bills, which is great.
