Naruto Law of the Devil

Chapter 181: Assassination

Returning to the original inn with Haku and Kimimaro, Yu packed up and, after a brief ceremony, set off with them on the road back to the Land of Fire.

Although he could instantly return to Konoha using Kaio's ability, Yu decided to travel with Haku and Kimimaro in the Ninja world to broaden their horizons, much like Jiraiya did with Naruto in the anime.

Since there was no rush, Yu, along with the two kids, enjoyed the journey, playing along the way. The trio experienced different cultural landscapes in several countries, treating it as a leisurely trip.

In fact, despite leaving Konoha a few times before, Yu was always busy with wars and battles, never truly exploring the customs and landscapes of other countries in the Naruto world. This journey gave him a lot of insight.

Of course, along the way, Yu also taught the two kids the basics of being a Ninja. With their exceptional talents, Haku and Kimimaro quickly learned the fundamental Ninja skills, such as using chakra to climb trees and walk on water.

For Haku, as his Chakra nature is a combination of wind and water resulting in Ice Release Nature Transformation, Yu not only taught him the basics of being a Ninja but also instructed him in some simple Water Release Ninjutsu from the Second Hokage's Water Release Scroll. They also discussed how to develop his Kekkei Genkai together.

As for Kimimaro, Yu guided him in the art of Taijutsu. Given the powerful Kekkei Genkai of Shikotsumyaku, Kimimaro's close combat skills surpassed almost everyone. Additionally, in developing his Kekkei Genkai, Yu provided Kimimaro with a lot of inspiration and guidance.

"We've arrived."

After two days of travel within the Land of Fire, Yu finally brought Haku and Kimimaro to a small town called "Tanzaku Quarters" - the same town from the anime where Naruto and Jiraiya searched for Tsunade.

Situated in a prosperous economic and trade region of the Land of Fire, Tanzaku Quarters is also a town with a rich cultural heritage. The streets are bustling with merchants, pedestrians, and ninjas.

"Wow, so many people..."

Entering the main street and witnessing the constant flow of people around him, Haku couldn't help but exclaim with excitement. On the other hand, Kimimaro, the white-haired young boy, maintained his cool expression and posture, but a hint of excitement flickered in his eyes. After all, he was still a child of around five or six years old.

"Alright, let's take a good rest at our lodging for today."

Watching the two kids enjoying themselves, Yu couldn't help but smile. If he hadn't crossed over from his previous life, perhaps his own children would be this age by now.

In just one day, Haku and Kimimaro, two children who had originally faced a tragic fate, experienced many new things. Apart from enjoying delicious food, they also encountered various interesting things.

Although these were just simple and ordinary pleasures, they were experiences that Haku and Kimimaro had never had in their dark past.

"Yu-sama, are we staying here for the night?"

As the sun set after a day of fun in Tanzaku Quarters, Haku asked, while wearing a ghost-faced mask on his head, looked up at Yu while walking along the narrow path.

"Ah... Let's stay here for the night."

Upon hearing Haku's words, Yu suddenly halted his steps. However, his gaze seemingly casually shifted to several large trees beside the narrow path. "But before that... let me deal with these ignorant fellows first."

While speaking, Yu lightly flicked his finger, and the high-speed thread thrown out exploded like bullets, piercing and blasting an entire tree next to them. A Ninja clad in black fell to the ground.

What's this?!

Apparently unaware that there were Ninjas stealthily hiding around them, Haku and Kimimaro became instantly alert when they witnessed Yu's sudden attack.

"Enough with your poor performance..."

"Now it's already late autumn, and you guys are still using Transformation Jutsu to disguise yourselves as such dense ginkgo trees. Truly uninspired."

After lethally dispatching one hidden Ninja without warning, Yu, using Observation Haki, keenly sensed the presence of several other enemies nearby.

These words were not only meant for the hidden enemies around but also for Haku and Kimimaro beside him. Yu was using the opportunity to hone their practical combat experience.

"Damn..."

"We've been exposed!!"

Indeed, upon hearing Yu's mocking words, the three originally lush ginkgo trees on both sides of the path instantly transformed into three Ninjas clad in black.

Among them, two of the black-clad Ninjas held a chain with sharp Shuriken between their left and right hands. Their figures swiftly and relentlessly attacked Yu and the two kids, aiming to entangle and cut them all!

"No Ninja headbands..."

"It seems they're not Ninjas from the Five Great Nations' Ninja villages."

Facing the three black-clad Ninjas rapidly approaching, Yu speculated on their identities. However, he remained motionless, standing in place.

Boom!

However, the next moment, the circular gate of Kaio opened instantly in front of Yu, and the shockwave from Tyrant's bear paw strike sent all the air in front of them flying.

Witnessing the two black-clad Ninjas flying backward at a speed even faster than their initial charge, the remaining assailants were shocked. The two Pressure Cannons unleashed by Tyrant pierced through their bodies. The internal organs of both Ninjas were instantly turned into a mist of blood!

"What is this?!"

At this moment, another black-clad Ninja had already reached Yu, but upon seeing his two companions instantly turned into blood mist by Tyrant summoned from Kaio's extradimensional space, the sight shocked him to the point of nearly dropping his weapon.

Bang!!

Just as he processed the scene, he felt a sudden pain in his wrist, and his weapon was kicked away. Then, a sharp pain in his abdomen caused him to bend over like a shrimp, and he was kicked off the ground, suspended in the air.

Immediately after, his neck tightened, and a blackened hand firmly gripped his throat, lifting him off the ground.

"With the skills you guys have, I could kill you in my sleep , sigh..."

After swiftly dismantling the Ninja in front of him with his formidable Taijutsu, Yu's Armament Haki-blackened hand tightly gripped the opponent's throat. His amber-colored eyes gleamed "Speak. Who sent you? How did you know my location?"

"No... truly living up to the legend of a guy who can take on thousands alone... Completely... not an opponent..."

Crushed by Yu's fearsome Taijutsu, the black-clad Ninja's neck was instantly overwhelmed. Held aloft by Yu's Armament Haki-blackened hand, the Ninja struggled to speak.

"But it seems you don't realize how much your head is worth underground... Although the Great Ninja War is over, the Five Great Nations' Ninja villages see you as a thorn in their side that needs to be removed as quickly as possible."
