Chapter 109: Steve
"Hey?"
After hearing Fang Mo's question, the other party also looked puzzled for a moment.
She had initially thought Fang Mo would inquire about classified information regarding Konoha, but to her surprise, he asked such an unrelated question. It seemed like he was quite unpredictable.
Thinking this way, she became a bit fearful.
"It is currently the 50th year of Konoha, and we are near the northern forest of Kikyo Mountain," she said nervously, "As for my name... I am Hyuga Hatsuhisa."
"Oh, I see."
Fang Mo subconsciously nodded, then realized he might have arrived too early.
Honestly, he had no idea what the "50th year of Konoha '' referred to, or where Kikyo Mountain was. He had only understood her name from what she said.
"Am I going to start another killing spree?"
As Fang Mo reminisced about the scenes from when he first crossed over to the Marvel Universe and the X-Men world, he suddenly felt a headache and rubbed his temples. "No, can we change the gameplay a bit? For example, can I just cross over and encounter someone like Jiraiya in the Konoha Village? I really don't want to create more tragedies"
But before he could finish his words, he heard a sudden sound of something breaking through the air.
Hyuga Hatsuhisa seemed to sense something and her face tensed up. She shouted, "Be careful!"
In the next moment, two sharp shurikens flew towards Fang Mo.
Swiftly, the shurikens hit Fang Mo's neck and the back of his head. However, with a crisp sound, the two shurikens were deflected and flew away in circles.
"What... huh?"
Hyuga Hatsuhisa was taken aback by the scene.
As for Fang Mo, he just stood up expressionlessly and turned around while saying, "So, when can we skip this process? Bansho Ten'in."
A tremendous gravitational force emanated from Fang Mo's hand, and the treetop suddenly moved. Then, a ninja flew straight toward him.
Without saying a word, Fang Mo extended a black rod from his palm and instantly stabbed the ninja to death.
After the enemy fell, Fang Mo examined him a bit and noticed his sturdy physique and dark skin. He also had a headband tied around his arm, seemingly a symbol of the Kumogakure Village.
"A ninja from Kumogakure Village?" Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Fang Mo rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment.
Hyuga Hatsuhisa seemed to be in her early teens, and they had encountered other ninjas from different villages. It seemed like they were in the middle of a war. But was it the Second or Third Great Ninja War? Were Naruto and his peers even born yet?
Thinking about this, Fang Mo turned to Hyuga Hatsuhisa and asked, "Have you heard of Hinata?"
"What?" Hyuga Hatsuhisa was puzzled. "Who is that?"
"What about Namikaze Minato?" Fang Mo asked another question.
"Why are you asking about him?" Hyuga Hatsuhisa's face tensed up, showing signs of vigilance.
"Oh, looks like they have already appeared." Seeing Hyuga Hatsuhisa's reaction, Fang Mo subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he didn't time travel too early, at least he didn't have to deal with Hashirama Senju.
Without uttering a word, the Kumo Ninja turned and desperately ran backward. Yet, the two Suna Ninjas, unsure of Fang Mo's strength, showed some hesitation before quickly forming hand seals together.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Hmm?"
Fang Mo had indeed noticed these two Sand Ninjas, but he couldn't figure out why they were looking at him so smugly.
"Whatever..."
Because they were just ordinary grunts, Fang Mo couldn't be bothered to think too much about it. After all, there were plenty of quirky characters in the Naruto world. So, he raised his hand directly and activated "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough."
The Ring of Arcana lit up with an azure light.
The next second, a fierce gale erupted.
If the Great Breakthrough released by the Suna Ninjas was like a strong gust of wind, then Fang Mo had sucked the eye of a typhoon into his lungs and forcefully sprayed it onto his enemies' faces.
A visible pale airwave shot forward in a conical shape, and trees, sand, rockseverything was lifted up by the wind, which exceeded level twenty, creating countless deep gullies in the earth.
Once the storm subsided, everything within nearly a kilometer in front of Fang Mo had vanished.
It wasn't that everything had been shredded; the power of the typhoon wasn't that strong. But everything had been violently blown away, piling up at least a kilometer away. Some lighter objects were still falling from the sky, leaving the whole area in chaos.
"Alright, that takes care of them."
After dealing with a few low-level grunts, Fang Mo clapped his hands and then used his body-flicker technique to teleport back to Hyuga Hatsuhisa's side. "How about that? Wasn't my Great Breakthrough impressive?"
Fang Mo pointed to the large crater not far away, looking smugly at her.
"..."
Hyuga Hatsuhisa didn't say a word but scooted back a bit, looking somewhat afraid.
"Hey hey, can't even handle this kind of joke?" Fang Mo glanced at Hyuga Hatsuhisa.
Considering that there would always be people coming to cause trouble, Fang Mo directly took Hyuga Hatsuhisa and left the area.
He used the Ring of Arcana to create a hole in a big tree, temporarily creating a hidden base.
With a new base established, Fang Mo could finally have a proper conversation with Hyuga Hatsuhisa. After all, she was just a child. Even if she was on guard, she wouldn't be a match for Fang Mo.
After all, Fang Mo was a straightforward gentleman, wasn't he?
In any case, soon, Fang Mo extracted quite a bit of information from Hyuga Hatsuhisa's mouth. According to her, Kikyo Mountain was actually a nearby terrain near Konoha, and it was currently the era of war.
At present, Kumogakure and Sunagakure were launching an attack on Konoha, and it was getting dangerously close to their doorstep. The village's internal forces were in dire straits. Although powerful shinobi like Minato and the Sannin were still killing everywhere, the basic forces were nearly depleted, and even she, a child, was forced to go to the battlefield.
Of course, Hyuga Hizuhisa also admitted that she was from the Hyuga branch family, and her potential wasn't very high. Her parents had already died on the battlefield, which was why she was dragged out to fight.
As for the elite members of the main family, they wouldn't be dying on such a battlefield for nothing.
Talking about this, Hyuga Hatsuhisa looked a bit sad. Although she was still a child, she seemed to have sensed the different destinies between the main and branch families of the Hyuga.
However, for ordinary shinobi, there wasn't much difference between the Hyuga main and branch families. The Byakugan was merely a tool for gathering intelligence, after all. It was just that this tool happened to be quite important. Not long after, Fang Mo noticed that quite a few shinobi squads were searching for her whereabouts.
Among them, he even recognized a character from the original story: One of the legendary Sannin, Orochimaru.
