Chapter 203: A Pitiful Stench
Mount Gurugui
The traces of the battle that took place over a year ago had long since faded from the land.
Collapsed houses had been rebuilt, damaged barriers restored, and even the massive craters created by the repeated release of the Jiongu jutsu had been filled in.
The only difference was that the master of this place, the once infamous Yikiang Xing, had passed away.
Now, the one in charge of the Tsuchigumo clan of Mount Gurugui was his granddaughter, the young and beautiful Ying.
"Miss, it was too risky to bring that man back," Tonbin, whose face was a bit older than a year ago, frowned as he looked at the stranger lying on the bed. Then, he turned to Ying with a worried expression.
Ying, with a more mature look on her face, replied seriously, "When I found him, he was already badly injured and unconscious. I couldn't just leave him there, Tonbin."
Tonbin shook his head and continued to advise, "But we don't know if he is good or evil. If his pursuers are drawn here because of him, Mount Gurugui will be in danger." He had just examined the man's injuries, which were inflicted by ninjas.
Now that the Tsuchigumo clan had only Miss Ying as their hope, Tonbin really didn't want to see a repeat of what happened a year ago.
"Don't worry, Tonbin," Ying assured him, patting her chest. "I'm very strong now, and I can definitely protect everyone."
Although her grandfather's passing had left her dejected for a while, she had since then been working hard to improve herself. She had been studying the Water Release training scrolls left by Huyi Xuan, and with the activated Earth Grudge Fear secret jutsu, her combat strength was no weaker than that of the famous jonin from the outside world.
Because of this, Ying was much more confident compared to her past self.
Seeing Ying's current demeanor, Tonbin was momentarily lost in thought.
He had almost forgotten that Miss Ying was no longer the helpless girl she used to be.
Having inherited the power of the secret jutsu and excelling in ninjutsu, Miss Ying, who was no longer his match, now had the qualifications to shoulder the responsibility of the Tsuchigumo clan's revival and become the next Yikiang Xing.
With a sigh, Tonbin was about to yield to Miss Ying's wishes when the man on the bed suddenly moved.
Ying and Tonbin immediately turned their attention to him.
Soon, the man opened his eyes.
"Where is this place?" Hu Gao immediately looked around, taking in his unfamiliar surroundings and the strangers before him. Propping himself up with effort, he asked in a cold tone.
Ying stepped forward to support him, saying, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, so no big movements."
Hu Gao was not used to having someone so close to him, and he shifted slightly away before asking again, "Where is this place?"
Seeing his reaction, Ying, who had experienced Huyi Xuan repeatedly asking her to release the secret jutsu, knew that some people might have peculiar personalities but were still good at heart. Looking at Hu Gao's aloof expression, she did not get angry and patiently explained, "This is Mount Gurugui. Rest assured, you are safe here, and there is no danger."
It was clear that Hu Gao did not take Ying's words to heart.
Glancing at Ying, his savior, he ignored his injuries and got up, striding towards the door.
"Wait! Your injuries haven't healed yet," Ying exclaimed.
Without turning his head, Hu Gao replied, "Don't stop me. You shouldn't have saved me either."
After saying this, he pushed open the door and stepped outside.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he stumbled and fell unconscious once more.
Ying and Tonbin exchanged a glance.
With another sigh, Tonbin walked over to Hu Gao, picked him up, and carried him back to the bed.
Miss Ying truly had a kind heart.
There was nothing more to be done.
Outside Mount Gurugui
Yuiyi Xuan Yue raised his head, and at the far end of his vision, he once again saw the mountain that stood as straight as a chopstick.
"I never expected to come back here."
The role of the traveler had probably already ended. Back then, Yuiyi Xuan Yue knew that his physical functions had deteriorated to the limit, and after he was startled by himself, he didn't have long to live.
Now, the one in charge should be that little girl called Ying.
Interestingly, even though he was clearly an intruder, Ying not only showed no fear but also wanted to become his disciple when they parted ways.
Yuiyi Xuan Yue didn't agree at the time, but before leaving, he gave her a water release training scroll.
He wondered how much she had learned from it.
Yuiyi Xuan Yue retracted his gaze and, just like the last time, made his way to Mount Gurugui.
If Butterfly Wing hadn't flown too far, the direction of their escape would be right here. The Six-Tails Jinchuriki was most likely staying somewhere near Mount Gurugui.
If they hadn't arrived yet, he could take some time to patiently wait.
Yuiyi Xuan Yue headed towards Mount Gurugui.
Along the way, he heard whispers coming from the dense forest beside him, but he didn't bother to pay attention and continued on his way.
However, the voices kept reaching his ears.
"Are you sure that old man is dead?"
"It's been confirmed, Master Bianlang. Dunbingwei, that old thing, deliberately hid it for so long, but under the constant questioning of the elders of the hidden villages in the mountain, he finally revealed the truth recently. After all, it's not reasonable for the role of the traveler to not appear for so long."
"Excellent! Now it looks like the Tsuchigumo clan's forbidden technique is in the hands of that little girl, Ying. The Tsuchigumo clan really has no one left!"
"Master Bianlang, let's make our move now! Take away the forbidden technique."
"There's no hurry. A year ago, Mount Gurugui was attacked, and many of the related barriers and traps have been changed. We must complete the investigation first. Otherwise, if the Konoha reinforcements arrive again, it will be troublesome."
"Master Bianlang is really thoughtful. However, our conversation just now was overheard by someone passing by. Master Bianlang, what should we do?"
"I've already noticed. It's just an insignificant insect. I'll crush it with my hand."
"Yes!!!"
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
As the voice fell, four figures rushed out of the dense forest, surrounding Yuiyi Xuan Yue in the center.
Among them, a man named Nanguang smiled coldly at Yuiyi Xuan Yue:
"Eavesdropping on other people's secrets is not a good habit. You're a unlucky guy. Have you thought about how you want to die? I'm very compassionate and can fulfill your wish."
Yuiyi Xuan Yue ignored them and continued walking at his own pace.
Seeing that someone who was about to die was still ignoring them, Nanguang and the other three felt both amused and humiliated.
As they moved to attack, they sneered:
"What a pathetic bug."
Before they could finish their sentence.
Yuiyi Xuan Yue finally spared them a glance.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, the kunai in the four ninja's pouches flew out, piercing through their heads at an incredible speed.
Until they fell to the ground and closed their eyes, the four of them had no idea what had happened.
Not far away, Bianlang, with his hands behind his back and a boss-like posture, watched as his underlings were about to return when he saw this scene, and his mouth fell open in shock.
Drop.
A cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
