In the morning, when Kazuma Kobayakawa got up, the seat next to him was empty, and he felt a little disappointed.

In fact, he knew from the beginning that Otsuka Ho would not easily give up the idea of ​​revenge. If hatred was so easy to let go, the ninja world would have been peaceful long ago.

Chapter 20 Rock Stream and Water Lily

The early morning sunlight shone into the room. Kazuma Kobayakawa ate the breakfast made by Mei Terumi and then went out for training.

Although a Chunin can improve his own life, he is still just cannon fodder on a larger battlefield. Only by constantly improving his strength can he increase his capital to survive in this world.

The kunai flew out of his hand and hit the bull's eye of the target accurately. Kazuma Kobayakawa shuttled through the jungle at an extremely fast speed.

The increase in chakra made his physical fitness grow rapidly. As long as he trained more, he would easily be able to reach the level of a senior ninja in physical skills.

For several consecutive days, Kazuma Kobayakawa continued to spend his time in ninja training. In the blink of an eye, the sun set again and he returned home alone.

After not seeing Otsuka Ho for a few days, Kobayakawa Kazuma had already come to the conclusion in his mind that Otsuka Ho probably would not come back.

The setting sun was as red as blood, and the light spread through the fog that had shrouded the village all year round, making the entire village seem as if it was immersed in blood.

On the side of the road, Zabuza Momochi was standing with his arms folded and shivering. The bandages on his hands and mouth made him look scary.

"Otsuka Ho is a bloodline limit ninja, right?" Momochi Zabuza spoke and asked Kobayakawa Kazuma in a cold voice.

Kobayakawa Kazuma looked at Momochi Zabuza and his eyes turned cold.

"Sure enough, Otsuka Ho is the wanted Komori Yuu from the village a while ago. Someone reported Komori Yuu's death. I'm afraid it was done by those bloodline limiters." Momochi Zabuza also looked at Kobayakawa Kazuma coldly and said in a deep voice: "Waste like you can just indulge in comfort. I will lead the village towards change and make the former Kirigakure reappear."

Kazuma Kobayakawa opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the words were too pale.

Zabuza Momochi's back disappeared in the blood-red sunset. Kazuma Kobayakawa let out a long sigh and returned home.

He also wanted to change this dark world, but with his and Zabuza's strength, what could they do for this dark village?

In that case, then we should quickly cheer up and accept missions, then marry a few more female ninjas and strive to become stronger as soon as possible.

As long as you have enough strength, you can change everything.

After becoming a Chunin, Kazuma Kobayakawa accepted a C-rank mission to hunt wild boars that appeared at the foot of the mountain.

After changing into ninja clothes, Kazuma Kobayakawa left the Hidden Mist Village under the pretext of completing a mission and came to a small village at the foot of the mountain.

After talking with the village leader and learning about the places where wild boars often appear, Kazuma Kobayakawa lay in ambush, waiting for the wild boar that destroyed the farmland to appear.

We waited until noon, and then a huge wild boar emerged from the woods. It was about three meters tall and covered with dried mud. It was truly a behemoth.

The wild boar walked into a farmer's house, bit a big yellow dog that barked at it to death, ate two bites of the dog's internal organs, and then walked towards another house.

Ordinary people naturally have no ability to deal with such a huge wild boar, no wonder they have to ask the ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village for help.

Ninja Technique. Moon Shadow!

Seeing the wild boar approaching him, Kazuma Kobayakawa drew out his ninja sword, held it across his chest, and took advantage of the opportunity when the wild boar had no time to react to chop it on the neck.

The blade sank into the wild boar's trunk and soon could no longer cut, as if it was stuck in the bone.

"Hum!"

The wild boar let out a painful wail, shook its head, and picked up Kazuma Kobayakawa.

"Damn it!" Kobayakawa Kazuma didn't expect that a wild boar's bones could be so hard. He hurriedly injected water-attribute chakra into the ninja sword.

After the chakra was injected, the destructive power of the ninja sword increased again. The blade tore the wild boar's bones, and the water-attribute chakra remained in the wound, continuing to cause damage.

Drawing out his ninja sword, Kobayakawa Kazuma retreated, and the wild boar also fled into the forest wailing.

Kazuma Kobayakawa made a pistol gesture with his right hand and fired a water bullet at the wild boar's head. It was a water cannon.

The water cannon penetrated the wild boar's head. The wild boar didn't run a few steps before falling straight to the ground, its limbs twitching.

Kobayakawa Kazuma recovered the wild boar's body and recorded the completion of the task. He sold the wild boar to the local villagers for 2000 taels, plus the taels he earned from the task, so his income was as much as taels.

Including this income, Kazuma Kobayakawa has a total savings of 150,000 taels, which should be enough to buy some chakra metal.

Melting chakra metal into the ninja sword can greatly enhance the power of the ninja sword, and more chakra will be transmitted. His strength can be taken to a higher level, and it will be easier to complete C-level tasks next time.

By the way, the ninja sword I borrowed from Ganliu has not been returned yet. It's time to return it.

After returning to the Hidden Mist Village, Kazuma Kobayakawa submitted the mission and received the reward for it.

In a blink of an eye, it was almost dark again. The yellow fog enveloped the village, and Kazuma Kobayakawa hurried towards Iwagyu's house.

Ganliu's home is far away from the political center of the Hidden Mist Village. It is a two-story building with a small courtyard. Kobayakawa Kazuma came to the door and knocked.

There was no sound in the room. Kazuma Kobayakawa knocked again, but still no sound.

Realizing that Ganliu might not be at home, Kobayakawa Kazuma planned to come again tomorrow. It would be better to return the ninja sword in person.

Walking out of the yard of Ganliu's house, Kazuma Kobayakawa saw Ganliu and Shuilian walking towards the house not far away.

"Kobayakawa Kazuma." Iwagyu waved to Kobayakawa Kazuma. He stopped in front of Kobayakawa Kazuma and said happily, "Congratulations on becoming a qualified Chunin. I heard that you defeated Troy of Kumogakure."

"Kobayakawa Kazuma, your performance makes us proud. You are worthy of being my and Iru's disciple." Shuilian also said to Kobayakawa Kazuma. Although she was only one or two years older than Kobayakawa Kazuma, she did have a sense of pride as a teacher when she spoke.

"If it weren't for the teachings of the two teachers, I would not have achieved such great success." Kazuma Kobayakawa bowed to Ganliu and Shuilian again, sincerely thanking them for their teachings.

Yanliu and Shuilian nodded repeatedly, and Yanliu reminded them, "Be careful when doing missions recently. Some ninjas from Kumogakure have sneaked into the village and stole some very important documents."

"Kumogakure?" Kobayakawa frowned. The relationships in the Kirigakure Village were already complicated enough, and now there was another Kumogakure Village.

Shuilian glanced at Yanliu beside her, a comfortable smile appeared on her face, and she explained: "Yanliu and I received an order from the top to recover the documents. When this mission is completed, we will get married, and you must come to our wedding then."

Chapter 21 Upgrading the Ninja Sword

Kazuma Kobayakawa was slightly stunned. He had always felt that the relationship between Ganliu and Shuilian was too close, but he didn't expect that they were about to get married.

"Teacher Shuilian and Teacher Ganliu are a good match." Kobayakawa Kazuma said truthfully.

According to the system's evaluation, Water Lily's beauty is B-level. There are probably not many female ninjas in the entire Mist Village whose beauty evaluation can reach B. It can be considered a great fortune for Ganliu to marry Water Lily.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Kazuma Kobayakawa returned home and waited until about one o'clock in the morning. He came to the market on the east side of the village and entered the underground black market from the kitchen of the fishmonger.

The sign with the bounty of Xiguashan Pig Demon still stood. Kazuma Kobayakawa walked around in the black market, stopping and starting, trying to find some B-level ninjutsu from time to time.

However, most of the ninjutsu sold on the black market are common stuff, and learning them is a waste of time.

In fact, Kazuma Kobayakawa thinks that the most perfect ninjutsu should be the Rasengan. This ninjutsu can be ranked among the A-level ninjutsu just by changing the form of chakra.

Naturally, there was no place selling Rasengan on the black market. After searching for a while, Kazuma Kobayakawa saw five or six crystals in front of a stall and stopped.

"Sir, please buy one. Chakra metal ore can be smelted into chakra metal. One piece is only two hundred thousand taels." The stall owner's voice was more feminine, and she took the initiative to introduce her goods.

Kazuma Kobayakawa picked up a piece of ore and placed it in his hand. As chakra was injected into it, the metal ore flashed with strange colors.

Although these minerals can react with chakra, Kazuma Kobayakawa knows that these ores are definitely not chakra metal ores. They are probably just some specially processed artificial ores and are not valuable.

While picking and choosing among the ores, Kazuma Kobayakawa suddenly touched a piece of stone that could conduct chakra. There was no doubt that this should be the real chakra metal ore.

The stall owner must be someone who doesn't know the value of chakra metal since he threw it into a pile of junk.

"The chakra metal content in these ores is extremely low, less than one thousandth. Five thousand taels per piece is too expensive for me." Kazuma Kobayakawa shook his head. He threw down the chakra ore and sighed slowly.

The stall owner lowered his head, narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled under the mask. Originally, these metal ores were not chakra metals, and they were put on the black market just to fool those novice ninjas. I didn't expect that someone would actually be fooled.

What’s even funnier is that in order to bargain, this guy can even make up an excuse that the chakra metal content is extremely low.

"It's obvious that this guest is an expert. The chakra content of my ore is indeed a little low. How about eight thousand taels per piece?" asked the stall owner.

"Three thousand taels, any more and I won't buy it." Kobayakawa Kazuma waved his hand.

"Deal!" The stall owner agreed, as if he was afraid that Kobayakawa Kazuma would go back on his word.

Kazuma Kobayakawa spent 18,000 taels to buy out all the crystal ore from the stall owner, and then left the black market.

He threw away all the crystal ore, leaving only a fist-sized black stone, which was the real chakra metal.

The price of chakra metal is about 12,000 taels per gram. As long as this ore can be smelted into more than two grams of chakra, today's money will not be wasted.

The next day, Kazuma Kobayakawa went to find a craftsman belonging to the Hidden Mist Village, and smelted a piece of chakra ore into nearly 15 grams of chakra metal, with a total value equivalent to 15 taels.

From this transaction, Kazuma Kobayakawa made nearly ten times the profit.

He gave Darui's ninja sword to the craftsman and asked the craftsman to mix chakra metal into it and recast the ninja sword.

A month later, the recast of the ninja sword was completed. The recast ninja sword seemed lighter and less strenuous to wield.

Kazuma Kobayakawa injected water-attribute chakra into the ninja sword, and then chopped down at a tree that was so big that three people could hug it.

The ninja sword continued to cut into the middle of the tree. After the sword was pulled out, the aftermath of the chakra was still tearing the tree apart, and it did not stop until several minutes later.

The previous ninja swords would not have such obvious signs of chakra tearing after being injected with water-attribute chakra. But this time, with the greatly increased content of chakra metal, the properties of water-attribute chakra were brought into full play.

"If I had this ninja sword when fighting Troy, Troy would have almost lost his ability to fight when the first wound was made." Kazuma Kobayakawa put away the ninja sword. In addition to ninjutsu, an excellent ninja sword is also a shortcut for ninjas to improve their strength.

The sun above cast a halo of light through the thick fog. In the village at the foot of the mountain, a black shadow flashed by and ran quickly into the dense forest ahead.

Ganliu and Shuilian followed closely behind. Ganliu held the ninja sword across his chest, which was the starting move of the sword technique Yueying.

The black shadow turned around, and he and Yanliu passed each other with a smile on his face.

Yanliu looked down and saw a kunai stuck in his chest, with three explosive tags attached to the back of the kunai.

The sound of explosions rang out in the dense forest, and Yanliu's figure was submerged in the flames. He turned around and opened his lips towards Water Lily, as if telling something.

……

Since returning from the Chunin Exam, Kazuma Kobayakawa has been working even harder to take on missions. Three months have passed in the blink of an eye and autumn has arrived.

There were many tasks to complete during these three months, and Kazuma Kobayakawa earned a total of 8 taels. With the remaining money from before, he already had a savings of 22 taels.

"If I sell my current house, it should be enough for me to buy a three-bedroom, two-living-room house in a remote area." After a quick calculation, Kazuma Kobayakawa felt a little more confident.

As the family's population increases, buying a bigger house has become a necessity. The newly married female ninja needs living space, and the current house is barely big enough for all of them to live in.

After some planning, Kazuma Kobayakawa posted an advertisement for selling a property and started looking around for suitable properties at the same time.

In recent days, the number of ninjas patrolling in the Hidden Mist Village has increased visibly, and Kazuma Kobayakawa can even see busy ninjas everywhere during the day.

"Hey, Kobayakawa Kazuma!" Hoshigaki Kisame appeared at the corner of the road and greeted Kobayakawa Kazuma, saying with a bit of dullness: "Be careful recently, those guys with bloodline limits are getting more and more serious, especially the jounin Ganryu who died in the battle, and Shuilian is still in the hospital and has not yet woken up."

"What did you say? The special ninja Ganryu died?" Kobayakawa Kazuma asked in surprise. The last time they met, Ganryu was happily talking about marriage. It has only been two months and such a big change has happened.
