Chapter 16: The Feather of the Ho - Oh

Chapter 16: The Feather of the Ho - Oh

Yue Yan could generate an electric current within his body to stimulate his body muscles, thereby breaking through his speed limit.

This ability was similar to Chidori created by Kakashi. Of course, the drawbacks were also obvious. The ultra - fast speed exceeded Yue Yan's own perception limit. Even if his body could react, his vision couldn't keep up. As a result, he could only perform straightforward attacks.

In game terms, it means the attack has a quick start, is easily interrupted by the enemy in the middle, and has a long recovery period.

Therefore, Yue Yan chose to let the enemy make the first move. After the enemy got close, he would strike first.

The reason he dared to do this was that Yue Yan could clearly detect the bandit leader in the invisible state.

The method was also very simple. Yue Yan conducted the electric current into the ground, creating an electric grid in an area with a weak current. When an object moved on the grid, Yue Yan could accurately capture its position.

However, this sensory ninjutsu developed by Yue Yan was still very crude. It not only consumed a large amount of chakra, but also required him to constantly replenish the electric current and keep it within a certain range. Maybe he can improve it in the future when he has better control over Lightning Flash and chakra, but that's a topic for later.

With a "puff" sound, Yue Yan stabbed the bandit leader's neck with the Kunai in his hand.

Noticing the bandit leader's wide - opened eyes, full of disbelief and fear of death, Yue Yan didn't show any mercy. Before the bandit leader could react, Yue Yan exerted more force with his arm and cut off his head with the sharp Kunai.

After finishing all this, Yue Yan let out a sigh. Judging from the bandit leader's proficiency in using the invisible ninjutsu, he was probably a Chunin from Iwagakure Village, maybe a deserter from the battlefield.

[Ding! System prompt: The host has killed the target and obtained a blue treasure chest x1.]

Normally, it shouldn't have been so easy for Yue Yan to deal with him. There should have been at least a fierce battle.

But this involves a Mondai. The bandit leader saw that Yue Yan was young and thought he was a naive Genin from Konoha Village who had never seen the cruelty of the world. Under the influence of underestimation and lack of intelligence, he was instantly killed by Yue Yan.

Yue Yan was a little surprised when he heard the prompt sound. He didn't expect to get a blue treasure chest, but it wasn't the time to open it yet.

He glanced at the head with open eyes on the ground and the pool of blood, instinctively frowned. But since he was still on a mission, he didn't think much and planned to light the Explosive Tag to continue the mission.

Before leaving, thinking that the bandit leader might be useful, Yue Yan also sealed the bandit leader's body into a Scroll and took it away.

As a large number of Explosive Tags were lit, in an instant, a series of explosions rang out from this relatively small wooden bandit's den.

The bandits awakened by the explosion were in a panic. Just as they started to put out the fire, Asuma and Hong rushed in after seeing the signal.

Facing the panicked bandits, who belonged to the category of ordinary people, Asuma and Hong, though it was their first time to kill someone, had already steeled themselves and showed no mercy.

Moreover, Yue Yan had also rushed back. With a pincer attack from the front and the rear, the three of them quickly ended the battle.

After reuniting with their Team - Leading Jonin, Hizashi Hyuga, Hizashi also gave them a word of praise for their performance.

As the Team - Leading Jonin, besides protecting Yue Yan and the others, Hizashi's main duty was to teach these ninjas the experience of performing missions.

"You did a great job. You completed the mission excellently," Hizashi said, looking at Yue Yan with a smile.

"Especially Yue Yan. You showed quite good abilities in both making plans and executing them."

Hearing the praise, Yue Yan scratched his head but didn't forget the main thing. He handed the Scroll containing the bandit leader's body to Hizashi.

"Teacher Hizashi, when I was performing the undercover sabotage mission, I was discovered by korega bandit leader. According to him, he was a Chunin from Iwagakure Village."

Hearing this, Hizashi frowned. He had thought they were just ordinary bandits, so he hadn't activated his Byakugan to watch the whole battle and had left it entirely to Yue Yan and the others. He never expected such an accident.

Hizashi looked serious. Without paying attention to the Scroll containing the bandit leader's body for the moment, he looked at Yue Yan with concern and asked, "Are you hurt?"

"No," Yue Yan shook his head. "The bandit leader underestimated me because I'm a child. In the end, I took him down with one move."

Although Yue Yan made it sound easy, whether it was true or not, it was still quite dangerous. So, Asuma and Hong were also worried about Yue Yan.

"I'll report this when we get back to Konoha," Hizashi said seriously and then led the way back to Konoha.

Fortunately, there was Yue Yan in Hizashi Hyuga's team, whose strength was beyond that of an ordinary Genin. If another team had faced this situation and the Team - Leading Jonin had focused on training the subordinates without proper inspection, a tragedy might have occurred.

Thinking of this, just like Yue Yan did before, Hizashi also cursed silently in his heart, thinking if the people in charge of intelligence work in the mission hall were good - for - nothing idiots.

Back in Konoha, Hizashi handed the Scroll containing the bandit leader's body to a clansman of the Yamanaka Clan in the mission review office. Through memory probing, they confirmed that the bandit leader had indeed been a Chunin from Iwagakure Village. Since it was too long ago, the Yamanaka Clan member couldn't find out more information. Finally, the mission level of Hizashi Hyuga's team was upgraded from C - rank to B - rank.

Although the reward would increase after the mission level was upgraded, Hizashi didn't want such a thing to happen again. So he also seriously told the person in charge of the mission hall about it.

For some time after that, Hizashi gave Yue Yan and the others a day off to adjust their mentality and then they continued to take on missions.

Hearing that they could have a day off, Yue Yan was very happy. After getting home, he couldn't wait to open the blue treasure chest he had just obtained.

As a dazzling light that only he could see flashed by, a red (Hong) feather appeared in front of Yue Yan's palm.

Looking at this feather, Yue Yan was completely stunned.

What the hell is this? Just a single feather? What's so special about it?

Although Yue Yan didn't know how to complain anymore, it was something from the blue treasure chest after all, so it should be a good thing.

Right then, Xiaolan, who was extremely exhausted from just finishing her training and had just entered the room, saw Yue Yan staring blankly at a feather. Out of curiosity, she also leaned over.

It was nothing until she took a look. Once she did, Xiaolan couldn't take her eyes off it and stared directly at this red (Hong) feather.

Yue Yan had never seen Xiaolan so obsessed with anything before. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Xiaolan reach out her finger and gently touch this red (Hong) feather.

The next moment, the exhaustion on Xiaolan's body was swept away, and even some of the injuries she got from training were visibly healing.

Seeing such a miraculous scene, Yue Yan also picked up this red (Hong) feather. The next second, an introduction to this feather appeared in his mind.

[Item Name: A feather shed by Ho - Oh

Ability: Improves recovery ability, slowly restores vitality, and increases the upper limit of vitality.]

"Holy shit!!!"

Perhaps feeling that his level of shock wasn't enough, Yue Yan picked up the water cup beside him, took a sip, and then suddenly spat it out.

Seeing such a silly scene, Xiaolan couldn't help rolling her Byakugan and imitating Yue Yan's words.

"Shit!"

"Don't imitate this (Korega). It's not a nice word."

"Shit!"

"What? You saw me say it and just copied me? And you like it? Come on, don't imitate everything."

"Shit!"

Yue Yan covered his face. He finally understood what it meant by "Disasters come from the mouth".
