The man's tone hardened: "Stop talking, go inside!"
Seeing her father's angry expression, Honglian couldn't help but feel scared. She nodded and was about to leave when Bai Xing suddenly appeared and blocked her way. With a thud, she bumped into Bai Xing's leg, cried out "Ouch!" and fell to the ground.
"How come there's a wall here..." Honglian rubbed her forehead, mumbling in a daze.
At this moment, Honglian's father noticed Baixing's actions and quickly blocked Honglian's path, grabbing Baixing in his arms: "Run, Honglian! Mumei! Take the children and run!!"
As soon as Honglian's father spoke, several families living nearby rushed out. The men grabbed farm tools as weapons, while the women and children huddled together. A woman named Mumei called out to Honglian, "Come here, Lian'er!"
At this moment, Shirahoshi was speechless.
He felt like he'd seen this scene somewhere before...
next second.
The dead memories struck his brain, and he remembered them, uttering the classic line: "I don't eat beef."
man:"?"
call out--
The chakra threads shot out from Shirahoshi's fingertips the moment she finished speaking, wrapping around Guren, who was trying to get up and run towards her mother. At the same time, the man's restraints weakened, and Shirahoshi broke free with just a little effort. The chakra threads also bound the man in front of her: at this moment, the people of this nameless village were filled with despair.
Why wouldn't he eat something as expensive as beef? Can this person be a good person?!
"Is this your daughter?"
"Yes," the man pleaded desperately. "Please, spare my daughter! She's just a child!"
Bai Xing crouched down and saw Hong Lian, who was almost crying from fright. "Lian'er, right? I see you have extraordinary talent; you're a once-in-a-million ninjutsu prodigy. Maintaining peace and order in the ninja world depends on you. Are you interested in learning ninjutsu with me?"
"No, I don't want to—" Little Red Lotus couldn't understand what Bai Xing was saying, and she burst into tears instantly.
Hearing Bai Xing's words, Hong Lian's father, and the other men who had gathered around but retreated upon seeing Bai Xing's strength, exclaimed: "...So you're taking on a disciple?! We thought you were some kind of super villain coming from somewhere?!"
But soon, Honglian's father realized something else: there's no such thing as a free lunch; the other party must have something in mind to have chosen his daughter as his apprentice...
But for the safety of his wife and everyone else...
"Take Honglian with you. Just let us go!"
Upon hearing this, Honglian's expression changed slightly:
"Father? Don't you want me anymore?! I'm your daughter!! Waaah—"
"It's alright, it's alright. Your brother can be your father too, cough cough, just kidding." Bai Xing didn't bother to say anything, he didn't expect these people to be so agreeable: "Alright then. Your daughter will definitely be famous in the ninja world in the future, remember my code name."
"The surgeon of the White Cross".
Of course, Bai Xing thought that the other party agreed to let her daughter become his apprentice.
Bai Xing hugged Hong Lian and ran towards the town the uncle had mentioned. He hadn't seen a normal town for about half a month; all he'd seen were villages, streets, and farms, and there wasn't even a proper inn.
"White Cross".
"Surgeon".
"Very good, I've got it!!!"
Freed from his restraints, Honglian's father clenched his fists, his fingertips turning slightly white, his face filled with hatred as he looked in the direction Bai Xing had left: "The grudge of having my daughter stolen! I'll remember it!! As long as I live, I'll make money, and one day I'll hire ninjas to deal with you!!!"
"Brother Hongye, shall we report this to the authorities? Perhaps the soldiers of Tianzhi Kingdom will help us?"
"How can we help?! Those are ninjas!! And their ninjutsu just now caught Guren and Kureha in a flash, they're clearly not ordinary ninjas!!!"
"What can we do?! Are we just going to watch Hongye's family lose their daughter?!"
"The person has already run away, what's the point of playing the hero? Just honestly have another one."
The villagers' murmurs made Hongye clench her fists. She stood up and said, "Everyone, there's no need to say more. This matter is not over between me and that man. As long as there is an organization and a code name, I will find my daughter one day."
"Kumo, you're not a ninja, how are you going to find her?"
Hearing this, Hongye lowered her head, her eyes filled with resentment. "Don't worry about it! I'll figure something out!"
"Lian'er, Lian'er—"
"Miss Kimi!!" xN
At night, Mumi lay unconscious on the bed, while Kureha ransacked the house. Kureha was mentally prepared to use all her family's wealth to hire ninjas to kill the man.
Under the moonlight, Shirahoshi carried Guren, whom she had spent half a day coaxing to sleep, and landed on the roof of Momiji's house. After admiring the moonlight for a while, she used her chakra eyes to get a general idea of what was happening inside. Then, she used chakra threads to wrap a package of coins and a letter around the table before leaving again.
At this moment, Hongye was prepared to go bankrupt to take revenge on Baixing, but then she saw a bag on the table and was slightly taken aback: "When did I put a bag on the table...? Holy crap! How can there be so much money?! This is many times more than all the money I've saved up for so long!!"
The man opened the bag and found 300,000 Field Coins: the currency ratio between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fields was 1 to 3.5.
Hongye also discovered the letter and couldn't resist opening it.
After reading the contents, Kureha realized that Shirahoshi wasn't a bad person after all, but a ninja master who genuinely took Kureha as his disciple. Upon waking and learning of this, Momi also felt relieved, and both of them eagerly awaited Kureha's return after completing her training...
one year later.
In a valley in the Land of Frost, Shirahoshi finally began to teach Guren how to refine the chakra within her body.
Over the past year, he has mainly taught Honglian about cognition, traveled to various towns to help her develop correct values, and also provided some basic physical training.
Last year, Honglian was too young and lacked training, so she began formal training this year.
Furthermore, Shirahoshi is also looking forward to Guren refining chakra to awaken the power of Crystal Release Bloodstain.
Chapter 103 Mito's End
It took several hours to refine the chakra, and Guren extracted the first strand of chakra from her body's cells.
Shirahoshi also used the power of the Op-Op Fruit to observe the scene of the Bloodstained Ninja's first chakra training: a faint pink energy suddenly appeared in the cells of ordinary color.
"Master! Master! I think I can see chakra!" Honglian exclaimed excitedly as she stood up. At that moment, Baixing closed her eyes and began to practice, finally raising her right hand and channeling a neutral-attribute chakra along with a certain proportion of wind and water-attribute chakra at her fingertips...
"Crystal Release, huh?"
When Shirahoshi opened her eyes again, a small pink crystal was resting on her fingertip. Guren felt that the color was very similar to what she had seen before, and exclaimed, "Teacher! Is this the same chakra as mine?"
"more or less."
"Teacher has something else to give you. It might hurt a little, so bear with it~" Bai Xing smiled. He brought Hong Lian along not just to learn how to use her bloodstains, but to train a candidate for White Cross: Bai Xing came to Hong Lian and placed his palm on the cute Hong Lian's head.
next moment.
Countless strange reactions came from my body; it was as if my cells were being killed, dying and then regenerating.
The terrifying heat enveloped Honglian's body, turning the girl's snow-white skin a light red.
"Ahhhh-"
The girl's screams made Bai Xing frown slightly, but he had to do it in order to complete his experiment.
Time passed second by second, and necrotic skin repeatedly appeared on the girl's body, while countless drops of sweat appeared on Shirahoshi's head.
Fortunately, the experiment was a success.
After repair and struggle, the girl's cells finally gained a slight resistance to Saiyan blood and were infused with a drop of his blood.
At this moment, the girl's face was filled with disbelief and confusion: Honglian didn't know what the teacher was going to do to her body, but in her mind, the teacher was someone who would never hurt her.
"ended."
Hearing this, Honglian breathed a sigh of relief, and then her body felt warm again, but compared to the abnormal burning sensation before, the current feeling was like a warm, soothing soak in a hot spring: "Teacher, what exactly is this...?"
After accelerating the recovery of the girl's necrotic skin, Shirahoshi unlocked the ROOM space. The girl could no longer maintain her composure and fainted.
"Is it too hasty?"
"Hey. Why isn't there a girl who's easier to fool than Honglian, the right age, and doesn't need me to train her skills to be my dog?"
—Raising boys is also an option, but it seems there aren't many men in the original work who are easy to brainwash. The silly Kimimaro and Haku haven't been born yet.
Even if they were born, it wouldn't matter. Without experiencing the despair at home, the two boys might not be so easily fooled.
As for ordinary orphans... their starting point is too low, and Shirahoshi wouldn't even look at them.
It's really hard to find a child who can be brainwashed and trained from a young age and also has innate ninja talent.
Bai Xing failed four times in the experiment, and it was only on the fifth attempt that Hong Lian developed resistance, successfully fusing a drop of his blood.
If a tube of blood were to be drawn, Guren would die instantly, unless he used the Op-Op Fruit to remove the Saiyan blood belonging to him from his body in time.
In other words, the skill 'ROOM·Blood Exchange' can actually kill people without them even noticing, but only someone with his special physique and the power of the Op-Op Fruit can do it.
The cellular power of the Crystal Release holder is child's play compared to the Saiyan physique.
Moreover, the power of Crystal Release is not as strong as his current perfected 'Chakra Slime Technique'.
Shirahoshi embraced the exhausted and sleeping Guren, his right hand forming the shape of a slime—this was what he wanted to study.
Simultaneously.
Shirahoshi channeled the slime-shaped, attribute-neutral chakra into the Crystal Release power she had just exchanged blood with and fused with a trace of it. She then combined this with her newly acquired Crystal Release techniques, transforming the slime chakra in her hand into solid pink crystals: "Crystal Release. Just some mediocre power."
Then, he extracted the Crystal Release chakra from it, returning it to its normal blue chakra. He glanced at the deserted river below, infused it with water-style chakra, making the slime group even bluer: "The true way to use chakra is without hand seals."
—During the Ninjutsu era, ninjas did not need to form hand seals, or even a single hand seal, when using ninjutsu.
Nowadays, it's just that with each generation of bloodline differentiation, the physical constitution inherited by each ninja has become weaker and weaker.
Fortunately, Shirahoshi's cells have been getting stronger and gradually starting to revert to their ancestral state. In the end, he might be able to unlock the Sharingan or Byakugan by virtue of his Saiyan physique.
As for that kind of power, apart from being interested in the Mangekyou Sharingan, Tenseigan, and Rinnegan, Shirahoshi's knowledge of the others was rather average.
—It's like the black eye ability of the Otsutsuki clan, but it doesn't seem as good as his Op-Op Fruit.
Two years ago, he basically stopped using hand seals when using all the ninjutsu he had mastered; the purpose of using hand seals was only to show off to others.
The purpose of hand seals is simply to help you remember the trajectory of chakra flow so you can release it more effectively. Normally, the faster an ordinary ninja forms hand seals, the less effective their ninjutsu becomes.
However, that doesn't mean it can't be activated. Just like Itachi Uchiha's almost imperceptible hand seal speed when fighting Kakashi, Kakashi's water-style defense speed is also very fast, but the attack power and defensive range of both are pitifully weak.
The speed and power of hand seals depend mainly on the practitioner's memory and mastery of the techniques and their physical memory.
Reducing the number of mudras or forming mudras with one hand are ways to speed up the process.
However, this is not an absolute theory for everyone, just like Madara can unleash a wide-range fire jutsu with a single hand seal.
After nearly filling it with water-style chakra, wind-style chakra was added. The slime, composed of neutral-style chakra, then transformed into a shape with an outer layer of water-style chakra and an inner layer of wind-style chakra. The wind-style chakra specifically compressed the air trapped inside the slime, creating compressed air. After a certain amount of time, the outer layer of water-style chakra disappeared...
Soon after the spell was completed, it was thrown into the river, and Shirahoshi hugged Guren and ran towards the inn where they had stayed before.
