Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

It was hidden in the gray mist of the early morning. As far as Yu Zhen could see, the buildings of different heights and styles were all dilapidated, and the people living in the town seemed lifeless.

There seems to be no problem. At this time, most places and most people in the ninja world are living in this state.

According to the geographical divisions of later generations, this place should be considered the border area of ​​the Fire Kingdom, the River Kingdom, and the Rain Kingdom. It has always been a famous "no man's land" area.

After observing for a while, Yu Zhen didn't see anything, so he stepped into the town.

After entering the town, he immediately discovered the problem.

Logically speaking, when a stranger suddenly appeared in such a closed town, others should have looked at him with caution and scrutiny, but the people here seemed to be accustomed to him as an outsider.

Although Yuzhen's clothing style is very popular, her face is definitely a stranger.

"It's a bit unusual indeed..."

After walking around the main crossroads of the town, Yu Zhen sensed some kind of surveillance.

Could there really be members of the tribe hiding or imprisoned in a place like this? Yu Zhen couldn't get an answer for a while. His only clue was the coordinates, so he could only start his search from this town.

After another round, Yu Zhen quietly took a purse from a guy who seemed to be in good financial condition... To ordinary people, ninjas are professional thieves with very high proficiency in stealing skills.

This was the first time Yuzhen had touched money in several months.

At this time, the monetary unit of the Ninja World was still "Liu", but unlike the paper money of the Ninja Village era, metal currency was popular in troubled times and was minted by daimyo in different regions.

Of course, the purchasing power of metal currency is different from that of paper currency.

Yuzhen opened the purse and found about five gold coins inside. The coins looked very similar to the "koban" coins he knew from the Edo period.

The face value of "one tael" was marked on the front. Yu Zhen weighed it casually and felt that the gold coin weighed about 15 grams.

The purchasing power of "one ryo" in the Ninja Village era was agreed to be 10 yen, but it is obvious that the current "one ryo" is worth much more - it is a large-denomination currency.

Yu Zhen roughly calculated that the purchasing power of "one tael" of gold coins must be no less than 5000 yuan.

After picking up the money, he came to an inn in the center of the town.

He had observed before that there was only one such hotel in this small town.

Yu Zhen walked into the hotel and saw a skinny middle-aged man sitting behind the counter facing the door. He walked up to the counter, slapped a gold coin on it, and said:

"Just live here first, and fill it up when it's not enough."

The innkeeper picked up the gold coin, examined it against the light at the door, breathed on it, wiped it vigorously with his sleeve, and then said:

"It's made of pure gold, made by Yuanshi... enough to keep you company for eternity."

As he said this, he hid the gold coins in his sleeves and threw a bunch of keys to Yuzhen.

Yu Zhen raised his eyebrows. He realized that this man was no ordinary person, because he hadn't seen clearly how he hid the gold coins. Could it be that this innkeeper was a "sweeping monk"-like master?

He did not rashly ask the other party about his own people. As a newcomer, he should act with caution.

Afterwards, Yuzhen took the key and went to a room on the second floor of the hotel.

After closing the door, he carefully checked the room and confirmed that there was nothing unusual before he relaxed his vigilance a little.

Next, Yu Zhen prepared to observe the town patiently.

As long as there's a problem here, there will always be a flaw. Sooner or later, Yu Zhen will definitely find out what's wrong.

Chapter 25 Tracking

Yu Zhen seemed to have no idea where to start, but as long as he remained patient, he believed he would soon find a way in.

This was indeed the case. For three consecutive days, he stayed in the hotel, observing the situation outside from the window of his room. Then on the afternoon of the third day, he discovered that there were ninja activities in the town.

This is not to say how strong Yu Zhen's ability to collect intelligence is, but that the ninja he saw had no intention of hiding his identity at all.

Seeing this, he left the hotel without any hesitation and followed the other party decisively and quietly.

Based on the idea of ​​hiding his trump card, and the fact that he was tracking the target this time in order to be discovered by the target at the right time, he only used the height differences of the buildings and the complex environment in the town to track the target, but did not use the Mayfly Technique at the first time.

The ninja moved quickly through the town. Judging from the way he moved, it was clear that this was not his first time here, because his movements were very purposeful.

Then, the ninja entered an inconspicuous alley and then walked into a low building at the deepest part of the alley.

About forty minutes later, he left the building again... This place is naturally worthy of special attention.

At this time, Yu Zhen had two choices, one was to continue tracking the ninja, and the other was to go directly to investigate the building.

To be on the safe side, he chose the former.

He wanted to gather as much information as possible from the ninja.

Yuzhen followed behind the other party, and the ninja actually chose to leave the town directly, and then moved all the way to the north, and his speed was getting faster and faster without him noticing.

Yu Zhen probably knew why this happened, so he became alert and continued to follow closely behind the other person.

Not long after leaving the town, after passing through a sparse forest, the terrain ahead turned into a wetland shrouded in miasma.

Stagnant dead water and rotten vegetation are soaked together in the hot and humid dead water. In the gray-brown and thick puddles, you can occasionally see the half-exposed bones of some large animals.

It looks like a good place to bury someone.

"Come out, I've already discovered you."

The ninja stopped and spoke in the direction where Yuzhen was hiding.

I just want you to discover...

Yu Zhen chose to show up directly. Facing the other party's vigilant but slightly complacent gaze, he stepped forward and came to a position more than ten meters in front of the other party.

After standing still, he found it a little difficult to bear the rotten smell emanating from the surroundings, and subconsciously raised his left hand to cover his mouth and nose.

Then a dramatic scene occurred. The opponent launched an attack without saying a word, and several shurikens shot towards Yu Zhen.

The negotiations seemed to be over before they even began.

No one can expect a person to have any trust in a sneaky stalker. In the eyes of this ninja, the "hand gesture" of a strange ninja is equivalent to "taking action".

To round it off, making hand seals is physical action, and covering the mouth and nose is also physical action, so he has to strike first.

After all, Yu Zhen is not a native, and many times he does not understand the mentality of the locals... The chaotic ninja world has long forced the ninjas, who already have very extreme personalities, to become neurotic.

Although the opponent's attack was unexpected, the distance still gave Yu Zhen enough time to react, and he easily avoided the attack.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, a kunai pierced his chest from behind.

He turned his head back in surprise and found that it was another ninja who attacked him from behind.

It was actually a righteous two-on-one fight. Those who were good at backstabbing would always be stabbed. It was obvious that there was more than one enemy.

"Ah……"

The enemy who was responsible for the backstab seemed to want to show a smile that was as "cruel" as possible, but the next moment, Yu Zhen, who was stabbed, turned into a pool of clear water.

"Water body?"

Not far away, Yu Zhen took the initiative to show up again.

Even though these people had already killed him, he did not immediately take hostile action.

"I have no ill intentions, I just want to ask you two something."

"No ill intentions? Ninjas always have no ill intentions before they kill someone." said the ninja.

After saying that, the two ninjas looked at each other, and then rushed towards Yu Zhen from one near and one far away.

Yu Zhen had no choice but to decide to subdue the two men first and then question them.

He quickly formed seals with his hands and almost subconsciously used his most proficient ninjutsu:

Fire Release·Big Flame Bullet!

In the past, Yu Zhen’s opening move was always the Fire Bomb, but now that he has extra chakra, he changed to the Big Fire Bomb.

It has to be said that the Big Flame Bomb has a bit of a preemptive effect. When a huge fireball with a diameter of more than six meters with layers of heat waves hits the enemy, it is impossible for an ordinary ninja to remain indifferent.

Of course, due to the limitation of the flying speed of the fireball, unless it is released at a very close distance, it is difficult for such fire escape to hit the enemy accurately, and it is even more impossible to produce a 100% killing effect.

The ninja in the front dodged sideways to avoid the large fire bomb.

In other words, Yuzhen's ninjutsu can only delay the enemy at best, but...

Buzz...boom!

A huge explosion suddenly occurred, and Yu Zhen's large flame bomb triggered a secondary explosion.

An excellent ninja will inevitably consider environmental factors when fighting in order to seek benefits and avoid harm. From this perspective, Yuzhen is not an excellent ninja.

Because he used the Fire Release Ninjutsu here without much thought.

The area beneath their feet was more like a biogas tank than a swamp.

As the outer flame of the big fire bomb ignited the methane, an invisible air wave quickly spread outward like a ripple. Then, the methane gas mass that had been lingering in the entire swamp for who knows how long was instantly detonated.

With a loud bang, the huge energy brewing inside the swamp exploded, like a volcanic eruption, and the muddy water surface suddenly burst open.

Suddenly, the earth seemed to tremble.

Fortunately, Yu Zhen was at the outermost edge of the swamp. Although he was the one who released the Fire Style, when he realized the danger, he had space to retreat and hide.

His escape speed was first-rate. He dived into the ground and ran fifty or sixty meters away in a blink of an eye. But even so, he was still covered in dust by the aftermath of the explosion.

Temporary tinnitus and even mild concussion are inevitable.

The other two ninjas were not so lucky. They were in the swamp, which meant they were firmly trapped in the explosion range.

Yu Zhen crawled out of the ground. He shook his head vigorously and struggled for a few times before he got up from the ground.

Looking up ahead, he saw that the situation in the swamp was as bad as it could be.

After a violent explosion, the sediments that had been buried there for who knows how many years were turned out. Coupled with the smell of incomplete combustion of methane, the various smells mixed together were even more nauseating.

The swamp was burning everywhere, and then Yuzhen discovered a charcoal-like humanoid creature.

There is no doubt that an unlucky ninja was killed directly by the explosion.

This shows that the back-thorn feather is really going to get its comeuppance.

Only one enemy was killed. Yu Zhen subconsciously looked up and saw a giant eagle hovering in mid-air, with the surviving ninja on its back.

Psychic beast?

The enemy reacted quickly and used the summoned beast to fly into the air before the explosion.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that he is farther away from the explosion point.

"madman."

Yu Zhen's ears were buzzing now, and he couldn't hear the other person's voice, but judging from his lip movements, that person seemed to be saying this.

"I really don't mean any harm. What just happened was just an accident. It doesn't mean I'm a bad person."

Unfortunately, among the three people present, because of the huge roar caused by the explosion, whether it was Yuzhen himself, the enemy who escaped in mid-air, or the ninja who died like charcoal...

No one can hear this pale explanation.

Chapter 26 Psychic

Compared to most ninjas, Yuzhen is considered a very normal person.

As an outsider to this world, it can be said that his ideas are quite different from the common sense of the entire ninja world, and it can also be said that he is "alone" in terms of ideological cognition and does not carry any heavy burdens.

Against the backdrop of the entire ninja world in chaos, he could neither be blindly optimistic nor be so bitter and resentful as to become negative and world-weary.

He has never considered himself a "protagonist" who can decide the direction of the world. In fact, for him now, his goal in life is just to survive in troubled times in a relatively normal way.

Therefore, he really didn't have the idea of ​​killing anyone he saw. It was too extreme.

Although some people were killed in the explosion, it was not intentional by anyone. It was just an accident caused by a natural disaster.

What swamp doesn't bury people, right?

This conflict shouldn't have happened in the first place. Yu Zhen just wanted to ask a few questions from the beginning to the end.

Now that the other party has lost a companion, it is even more unlikely that the matter will be resolved peacefully.

The remaining ninja was half-crouching on the back of the giant eagle summoning beast, looking down at Yuzhen in mid-air.

Probably after his mind regained clarity and his senses were no longer affected by the explosion, he commanded the eagle to swoop down without hesitation.

Yu Zhen's tinnitus gradually subsided, and a shrill eagle cry reached his ears.
