Chapter 54 Death of Society
Chapter 54 Death of Society
A few minutes later.
Downstream from the waterfall, two drenched people helped each other climb ashore, panting heavily.
After a while, Shenyue Xingyun, who seemed to have come back to life, spoke.
"Kai".
"I'd like to know, what force made you propose a battle on the water, even though you can't tread water?"
Matt Kai said somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, Nebula."
"I believed that the power of youth could create miracles."
"Don't worry, next time! I definitely won't fail!"
Shenyue Xingyun asked in surprise, "You want a next time?"
Might Guy looked up at him, shocked. "What? You...aren't you willing to burn your youth with me?"
He then lowered his head somewhat dejectedly: "That's true. Sometimes, my thoughts are indeed different from everyone else's."
"Don't worry, Nebula. I'm fine."
Shingetsu Nebula bent down, looked up, and gazed at Might Guy, who was looking down: "Are you sad?"
Might Guy doesn't talk, he talks: o(╥﹏╥)o
The Divine Moon Nebula remained silent.
He wasn't really comfortable with a grown man showing his true feelings in front of him.
To help the other person return to normal as quickly as possible, he coughed lightly, stood up, and said, "Kai."
That's not what I meant.
"What I mean is... the journey of youth requires not only hard work and courage, but also a little bit of patience."
"How about this, let's practice our water-treading skills first, and then we'll have a water-based battle after we've mastered that?"
Matt Kai looked up.
His tearful eyes shone brightly.
"real?"
Shenyue Xingyun sighed: "Don't worry, I'm not lying to you about not being able to get a girlfriend."
"Yeah!" Matt Kai jumped up.
He was so happy.
Finally! Finally in Konoha, he met a man who could understand his youth! He was so excited that he didn't hear the footsteps not far behind him.
"marvelous!"
"Nebula, you're truly my best friend!"
"Crack!" The sound of a dead branch being broken by foot.
Might Guy and Shingetsu Nebula both looked toward the source of the sound, and saw a masked, cold-looking young man standing frozen in place not far from them.
Shenyue Nebula: ...
Three seconds later, Matt Kai, who had been somewhat stunned, finally came to his senses.
He looked at the newcomer, his eyes shining.
"Kakashi!"
"What a coincidence, what are you doing here?"
Kakashi Hatake: "...Just passing by."
Matt Kai was taken aback.
Even with his intelligence, he vaguely sensed that something seemed off about the logic.
What brings me to the Valley of the End?
But none of that mattered. Looking at his old acquaintance whom he hadn't seen in a long time, he excitedly reached out and put his hand on the other's shoulder. Hatake Kakashi subconsciously took a step back... but the wet sleeve still ended up on his shoulder.
"Kakashi, it's so good to see you!"
"Let me introduce you to my new friend, Shingetsu Nebula."
"Nebula, this is my lifelong rival, the nemesis who made my youth burn bright... Hatake Kakashi."
Kakashi Hatake and Seiun Kamizuki exchanged a glance, then awkwardly turned their heads away.
Kakashi Hatake: "Guy, please stop talking about 'lifelong rivals'."
Shenyue Xingyun: "Kai, I should go home and change my clothes. See you tomorrow." With that, she ran away without looking back.
Just as Might Guy was having a hard time figuring things out, he heard Kakashi Hatake's voice.
When did you two meet?
Matt Kay: "You mean Nebula?"
"Um."
Might Guy: "When...probably before graduation."
"Has he been accompanying you in your cultivation?"
Matt Kay nodded matter-of-factly: "That's right."
"Nebula is a wonderful person. Like me, he has a passionate youth..."
Seeing Kakashi Hatake's cold expression and apparent lack of interest, Might Guy stopped talking. After a moment's thought, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Kakashi."
"Let's have a battle of youth!"
"No." Kakashi Hatake refused almost without thinking.
Matt Kay was already used to his rejections.
"Kakashi, promise me."
"Nebula was supposed to practice with me, but he went back to change his clothes."
"Please, fight me! I'll show you how much I've improved over this time."
He knew Kakashi Hatake was a man who didn't compromise easily, but that didn't matter. He, with the most passionate youth, would always be able to conquer him. It was just a matter of time.
But Kakashi's reaction surprised him. Before he could continue to exert his strength, the other party thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"it is good."
"In that case, Kai, let me see your progress."
"No problem!" Might Guy grinned excitedly. "Kakashi, get ready for my iron fist!"
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
……
【Ding! 】
[Update complete!]
After changing out of her wet green bodysuit and taking a hot shower, Shingetsu Seiun, whose sense of social dread had finally lessened considerably, saw the system panel reappear before her eyes.
"System, you're alive!?"
Shenyue Xingyun exclaimed in delight.
The system did not respond, but kept displaying prompts.
[Current Mission: The Green Flame of Youth (Complete 100 training sessions together while wearing the bodysuit given by Might Guy) has been completed]
[Please select mission reward: Basic Medical Ninjutsu Compendium Lv3, Will of Fire Research Notes Lv3, Body Flicker Lv3.]
[Congratulations, host! You have unlocked the dungeon achievement "Wind and Rain".]
【请选择副本奖励(其一):1、透遁(Lv3);2、自我奖励术(Lv3);3、可佩戴称号——绝影。】
In an instant, Shenyue Xingyun felt a sense of security.
The system update is finally complete.
He first looked at the rewards from the previous version of the dungeon.
If you focus your attention on a particular reward, a brief description will appear.
For example, the description after "Transparent Release (Lv3)" states: "Bloodline Limit, can conceal light, shadow, and scent. Movement is ineffective, and its effect is reduced against highly perceptive ninjas."
The description for Self-Reward Technique (Lv3) is: Seven times a day, endless joy!
When he focused his attention on the title he was wearing—Shadowless—it displayed: "Hidden title. After wearing it, you cannot be tracked or detected by skills other than physical tracking (including Telescope, Underground Stealth, Through-the-Air, Black and White Detection, etc.)."
Shenyue Xingyun's gaze sharpened.
After seeing the details, he chose the title without hesitation—Shadowless.
Compared to the useless self-reward technique and the more suitable Transparent Release for Jiraiya, the hidden effect of the Shadowless title was what he truly valued.
Unlike the Succubus's Hand, which is automatically equipped, the Shadowless Title can be stored in the system inventory. Upon discovering this, Shenyue Xingyun did not equip it immediately. There was no need to conceal his strength at the moment, and besides, he was essentially under the watchful eye of the three generations of elders in the village. If they discovered him running around in front of them, his telescope technique would be ineffective, only causing more trouble.
After selecting the dungeon rewards, he focused his attention on Might Guy's quest rewards.
