Chapter 35 Like a python wrapped around the ordinary feeling of suffocation (Ch 35)

When Yue Yan heard Hizashi’s call, he turned around and was on guard immediately.

However, the speed of the Mist Ninja Jonin was too fast. Even if Yue Yan used electric current to stimulate his body to speed up, he could only barely prevent the long sword from hitting his heart.

Looking at the lightning surging on the body of this Mist Ninja Jonin, Yue Yan also knew why his speed was so fast.

The Mist Ninja Jounin initially fought with Hizashi, and originally thought that they were just some Genin from Konoha. Even if they relied on sneak attacks, his team should not be defeated so quickly.

However, when he saw out of the corner of his eye that Yue Yan easily killed the vice-captain in seconds, and then used two powerful ninjutsu with a large range to kill other Mist ninjas, his eyes instantly turned red.

This was an old subordinate who had followed him for many years, and yet he died at the hands of a young brat from Konoha.

In anger, the Mist Ninja Jonin would rather take a few gentle punches from Hiashi than rush over to kill Yue Yan.

Seeing that Yue Yan is so powerful at such a young age, he must be a genius in Konoha. As long as he is killed, the Mist Ninja will have one less powerful enemy in the future.

With his full strength bursting out, the Mist Ninja Jonin was confident that Yue Yan could not avoid his fatal sword.

However, with the perception of the power grid and the reminder from Hiashi, even if this Mist Ninja Jonin unleashed a lightning-style sword, Yue Yan still reacted in time and the sword only pierced his left lung.

Noticing the shocked expression of the Mist Ninja Jonin, Yue Yan burst out with extraordinary strength and tightly grasped the long sword that was inserted into his chest. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move the long sword at all.

“What a great strength.”

Hearing this, Yue Yan grinned.

“Damn it, that really hurts.”

As he spoke, Yue Yan condensed a thunder spear in his hand, ready to blow his head off.

The intuition honed through countless life and death situations would not let this jonin just stand there stupidly. He would instinctively jump away without even thinking and keep his distance.

Seeing this, Yue Yan still threw out the Thunder Spear. At this distance, even if he couldn’t kill the Mist Ninja Jonin, he would be injured. Then Hizashi who arrived would be able to easily deal with him.

However, before the Thunder Spear could hit, a dazzling light burst out not far away.

Then, a blue shadow flashed in everyone’s eyes.

The Mist Ninja Jonin, whose eyes were flashed by the strong light just now, had no time to react. Due to his poor vision, he could only vaguely see a blue fist. Then, his consciousness fell into eternal darkness.

This scene happened so fast that no one present, including Yue Yan and Richang, could react.

When the Thunder Spear, which had lost its target, hit the ground with a loud bang, Yue Yan belatedly looked at the tall blue figure.

It stands on two legs and looks like a dog. Its fur is mostly blue and black, and its torso is cream-colored. It has a short spur on each of its upper limbs, chest, and back. Its snout and ears are long, and when its mouth is open, a pair of sharp teeth can be seen on each of its upper and lower jaws.

Yue Yan was very excited after recognizing that the blue figure in front of him was Ran who evolved from Riolu into Lucario.

“Xiaolan! You evolved!”

“Boil!”

The corners of Yue Yan’s mouth couldn’t stop twitching, he didn’t know if it was because the long knife was still stuck in his body, or because after the evolution, Xiaolan’s voice became deep and magnetic, but the content of her words remained the same.

Looking at Xiaolan who came over to show concern for him, Yue Yan waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.

“I’m fine, Xiaolan, don’t worry about me.”

As he said this, while everyone was looking at him with shocked expressions as if they were “you’re still a human being”, Yue Yan pulled out the long sword stuck in his chest with a “puchi” sound. With the help of medical ninjutsu and healing skills, there wasn’t even any blood left.

“Look, I’m fine, right?”

Yue Yan comforted Xiaolan and told her not to worry too much.

After all, as he grows older, Yue Yan’s recovery ability has improved. Even if the long knife pierces his heart, as long as his heart is not crushed to pieces, Yue Yan will not die.

And now Yue Yan’s recovery ability is about to reach the minimum standard for learning the Corpse Forest Sage Mode, so this sword is not as threatening as Zabuza’s sword during the Chunin Exam. After all, Yue Yan’s recovery ability is increasing at an astonishing rate every day.

“Yue Yan, are you okay?”

At this time, people came to their senses from the shock of Yue Yan being ambushed by the Mist Ninja Jonin, and then Xiaolan punched the Mist Ninja Jonin in the head. Only then did they come over to show concern.

“I’m fine. I’ve already used medical ninjutsu to treat it. Don’t worry, Mr. Hizashi.”

Hearing this, Hizashi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Given his personality, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life if his disciple died because he failed to hold back the Mist Ninja Jonin.

Hiashi, who knew Yue Yan’s ability in medical ninjutsu, also believed in Yue Yan. Since Yue Yan said it was okay, then it must be okay.

“Although it didn’t cause much impact, I still want to say sorry to you, Yue Yan. It was my negligence that caused your injury.”

He knew that Hizashi’s character was quite traditional, serious, and a little old-fashioned. Otherwise, when the Cloud Ninja came to Konoha to cause trouble in the future, forcibly snatched the Byakugan, and finally shamelessly put the blame on the Hyuga clan, he would not take the initiative to die in place of Hizashi.

Yue Yan knew that it was useless to keep saying nonsense like “it’s okay” and it would only increase Hizashi’s guilt. Therefore, at this time, all Yue Yan had to do was to accept Hizashi’s apology calmly.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Hizashi led everyone to move forward. Just like before, Hizashi and Yue Yan took turns to perceive every five hours.

Nothing happened during the last part of the journey. Even though Asuma and the others were curious about Xiaolan’s changes, they did not ask too many questions to expose Yue Yan’s secret.

However, even if they didn’t ask, the straight look in their eyes looking at him and Xiaolan made Yue Yan get goose bumps on his back.

Yue Yan sighed. Not to mention Asuma and the others were curious, even he was curious about Xiaolan’s changes. After all, Xiaolan evolved after just a burst of white light. He would find a chance to ask her when the time comes.

And after Xiaolan killed the Mist Ninja Jonin, Yue Yan remembered the system’s prompt and obtained the first purple treasure chest.

Yue Yan was not in a hurry to open it. Instead, he wanted to wait until he arrived at the camp and settled down before opening it.

When they arrived at Konoha’s camp on the front line of the Water Country, the captain, Hiashi, went through layers of secret codes and underwent multiple inspections before Yue Yan and his team entered the camp.

Looking at the well-organized layout around him and the layers of secret codes for security reasons, Yue Yan knew that the commander-in-chief here was not a simple person.

When Hiashi announced the disbandment, Yue Yan was about to find a deserted place to open the purple treasure chest and ask about Xiaolan’s situation, but he was told to go to the headquarters with Hiashi.

Although he was a little confused and didn’t think there was anything special about himself as a mere Chunin, Yue Yan still followed Hizashi.

As soon as he entered the command tent, Yue Yan felt as if he was being stared at by a cold and deadly venomous snake.

Yue Yan: What the hell! What’s going on with this suffocating feeling like being entangled by a python?
