Konoha: On the night of the massacre, I summoned Inuyasha.

Shimura Issei also stood up, his expression solemn, a hint of worry rising in his heart.

With his years of experience as a ninja, he could naturally tell that it was the screams of his clansmen before they died.

This gave him a chill and made him feel even more incredulous. After all, this was Konoha Village, and the Shimura clan's territory was located not far from the Konoha office building.

Who dares to kill me?!

"Father, I want to go with you."

Shimura Taro's face showed a slight struggle and a hint of panic, but he eventually became resolute.

This caused Mrs. Shimura's expression to change.

"I am glad you have such courage, but the enemy situation is unclear at the moment."

Go, hide well with your mother and Jiro; that takes the greatest courage.

Before Mrs. Shimura could react, Issei Shimura had already grabbed Taro Shimura's shoulder.

He gently patted Shimura Taro's head, a look of relief on his face.

Having said that, before Shimura Taro could refuse, Shimura Issei and Mrs. Shimura exchanged a glance and then quickly left in a flash.

"Let's go, Taro."

Your father is right, now is not the time to play the hero.

Mrs. Shimura gently embraced Taro Shimura and advised him.

"I'll listen to you."

Slightly pulling away from Mrs. Shimura's embrace, Shimura Taro said, but his tone carried a hint of ease that he himself did not realize.

He had courage, but that didn't stop Shimura Taro from being afraid of the dead.

.....................

At this moment, a battle is taking place to the west of the Shimura clan.

As the blades flashed past, Shimura Yu touched the torn cuff of his sleeve, his expression somewhat grave.

"Who exactly are you?"

Why did you kill members of my Shimura clan?

Shimura looked up at the masked man in white ninja attire opposite him, his tone cold.

He arrived a little late, and three of his clansmen had already been killed, which made him extremely angry.

However, the man opposite him did not speak, but only looked at Shimura Yu with an indifferent gaze.

He was a tall and strong man with his face covered by a mask, revealing only a pair of emotionless eyes.

In the brief exchange of blows, Shimura Yu was only cut in the cuff, while this man's chest was spurted with blood.

"Aren't you going to tell me?"

"Then we'll capture you and show you the methods of the Root."

A cruel smile spread across his lips as Shimura gripped the long sword in his hand.

As a former Root member comparable to a Konoha Jonin, Shimura Yu served under Danzo before Danzo disbanded Root, and his strength was even greater than that of an average Konoha Jonin.

After the exchange, he determined that the masked ninja opposite him was at most a Chunin-level fighter, and at most, due to his powerful taijutsu, he could barely be classified as a Special Jonin.

Shimura Yu was confident that as long as the masked ninja was captured, the Root organization could use its methods to completely uncover the masked ninja's purpose and the person behind him.

The masked ninja still didn't react, but the next moment, he moved again.

He vanished from the spot and reappeared with a slash aimed at Shimura Yu's neck.

"A very good teleportation technique, but it's far from enough."

Shimura Yu sneered and easily blocked the attack with a single swing of his sword.

At that moment, the masked ninja suddenly released one of his sword-wielding hands, and two shuriken were driven towards Shimura Yu's head.

"Lord Xiong, be careful."

It was the shout of a member of the Zhicun tribe.

At this moment, more than a dozen Shimura clan ninjas had approached.

However, most of them are genin, with very few chunin.

After all, Shimura was not a large clan, and there were only about ten Chunin-level ninjas.

"It's alright."

Shimura Yu sneered, and the next moment a nail was driven into his head.

boom!

As a cloud of mist rose, the object pinned by the two shuriken had become a wooden stake.

Substitution Technique!

"it's over!"

Shimura Yu's figure appeared behind the masked ninja at some point, bent down, and slashed straight at the masked ninja's feet with his sword.

It was clearly intended to disable his mobility.

As expected, Shimura Yu cut off the masked ninja's limbs from the knees down.

However, at this moment, the masked ninja whose legs had been cut off had already fallen to the ground, but he used one hand to support himself on the ground, and suddenly turned around and flew up, continuing to stab Shimura Yu's head with his knife.

Damn it!

This sudden scene made Shimura Yu's pupils shrink, and he could only turn his head away helplessly.

He never expected the masked ninja to have such willpower, able to launch a fatal counterattack the instant his leg was severed.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!"

Just as Shimura Yu dodged the masked ninja's thrust, Shimura Issei's voice suddenly rang out.

At the same time, a sharp aura pierced through the air and went straight through the masked ninja's head.

"Chieftain!"

Shimura Yu breathed a sigh of relief. If Shimura Issei had been a little later, the masked ninja would have changed his thrust into a horizontal slash, and he might have really died.

"Ok.

It's good that you're alright.

After several leaps, Issei Shimura arrived, his tone slightly relieved.

Outside the Shimura clan compound, the moon was already approaching the eastward side of the Shimura clan compound.

"Ding!

The two-star boss, Yagyu Ranzo, was defeated by your teammate, Shimura Issei.

You did not deal any damage to the boss, so you will receive a random guaranteed reward.

A system notification suddenly sounded in my ear.

"They were taken down so quickly?"

The Shimura family is very capable.

The moon's expression shifted slightly, its eyes showing a hint of amusement.

"However, Yagyu Ranbu..."

Yue was somewhat puzzled; the name was unfamiliar and not one he knew well.

"Ding!

Rewards are being drawn...

Congratulations to player Uchiha Yue for obtaining a two-star skill!

Assassination technique: Shuriken!

"You are free to allocate the reward items."

The system prompts continue.

"Assassination technique. Shuriken?"

Yuexia subconsciously glanced at the skill description.

Skill: Assassination Technique - Shuriken

Level: Two Stars

Introduction: Shuriken technique from the secret assassination techniques passed down by the Ninja Emperor Yagyu Ranzo.

"Yagyu...

Hidden indiscriminately...

"It looks somewhat familiar."

It seems that the ninja in Double Dragon is called by this name.

But is shuriken technique the only assassination technique?

This is probably just a negligible part of Yagyu Ranzo's power system.

Sure enough, the Demon King's blood I received not long ago was a newbie perk.

With a slight sigh, Yue decisively summoned the final three-star boss when she was closest to the eastern part of the Shimura clan's territory.

Chapter 15 Teacher Ma

Even if she couldn't get the maximum benefit, Yue didn't intend to let the boss's summoning opportunity go to waste.

After all, with his current strength, it wouldn't be something he could do in a short time to defeat a two-star or even a three-star boss on his own.

Instead of letting resources sit idle, it's better to use them directly; at least it can accelerate growth.

Even if the strength of the strong is weak, it is still extremely useful to the weak.
