Steve Chapter 108

"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?"

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.

After feeling relieved, Fang Mo explained to Hyuga Hatsuhisa, "Actually, I'm an Otsutsuki, who has been asleep for thousands of years. My favorite thing in life is to seek fun..."

But before he could finish his words, he heard another sound breaking through the air.

Hyuga Hatsuhisa was about to say something, but Fang Mo directly grabbed the shuriken, and with a flash of black light, he teleported to the treetops.

There were other ninjas waiting there, observing Fang Mo.

But they were taken by surprise when Fang Mo suddenly appeared in front of them. "Flying Thunder God Technique!?" one of them exclaimed, associating the golden flash of Konoha with the legendary technique.

But wait, isn't this one black?

Has Konoha gained another Flying Thunder God user?

Thinking of this, the ninjas from Kumogakure were frightened, and they immediately tried to make hand seals to escape.

However, before they could do so, Fang Mo directly thrust the shuriken into one of their crotches, and then kicked him away. The ninja exploded into a firework in mid-air.

The cruelty of this scene shocked Hyuga Hatsuhisa, and even Fang Mo found it a bit ruthless.

As for the remaining two Kumogakure ninjas, one turned into a burst of lightning, and the other turned into a small wooden stump, clearly using the Body Flicker Technique and Substitution Jutsu to escape.

"Sneaky little Kumogakure ninjas..."

Seeing this, Fang Mo couldn't help but comment.

Out of those attacking him, only two Kumogakure ninjas were left, and they glanced at each other in fear before quickly fleeing.

But just then, Fang Mo's voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"Here comes the Flying Rod!"

With his voice came a black rod that suddenly appeared from one of the Kumogakure ninja's chest. He lost consciousness instantly and fell to the ground dead.

The other Kumogakure ninja was shocked and ran away even faster.

Unfortunately, he had just run a few meters when he ran into two Kumogakure ninjas.

The Kumogakure ninja didn't say anything and just ran for his life. But the Kumo ninjas, although a bit skeptical, saw that Fang Mo had already killed the Kumogakure ninja, so they decided to attack him together, thinking it was a chance to capture a Konoha ninja.

"Not again..."

Feeling impatient with the interruptions, Fang Mo thought about it and decided, "Maybe I should just take down the Land of Lightning..."

Hyuga Hatsuhisa couldn't understand Fang Mo's words, so she just watched as the two Kumo ninjas attempted to attack him.

Without bothering to draw out his large sword, Fang Mo simply extended half of a black stick from his palm. He teleported in a flash, stabbing the two ninjas in their hearts, and they died on the spot.

However, Fang Mo was surprised to find that, apart from the two Kumogakure ninjas who died immediately, the other two Kumo ninjas burst into a shower of sparks and transformed into wooden stumps, revealing they were using the Lightning Clone and Wood Clone techniques.

"Sneaky little Kumogakure ninjas..."

As the sound rang out, a black rod suddenly protruded from the chest of one of the Kumo Ninjas. This object seemed to possess a dreadful power; the struck ninja immediately lost consciousness and fell lifeless to the ground.

The other Kumo Ninja, witnessing this, was shaken to the core and hurriedly fled backward with all his might.

However, just when he had barely run a few meters, he unexpectedly collided head-on with two Sunagakure ninjas.

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, rocks—everything 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.
