"Hey, you three ninjas from Kumogakure over there, running into someone else's village in the middle of the night to kidnap a pretty female ninja, you'll be considered perverts."
This sudden sound rekindled hope in Kushina's heart, who had already given up on struggling.
Her head jerked up.
Bathed in moonlight, a tall, handsome Konoha ninja appeared out of nowhere. He was leaning casually against a tree, arms crossed.
They seemed to completely disregard the three ninjas from Kumogakure standing before them.
So handsome!
Although it was somewhat inappropriate, this was indeed Kushina's first thought at that moment.
Wearing a Konoha headband, is this person here to save me?
Looking at Xia Yan, who was just standing there but seemed to be radiating light, Kushina lowered her head shyly, as if she had thought of something.
It's not surprising that Kushina would be infatuated with a boy at a time like this; it just goes to show that Natsuhiko's looks are truly stunning.
Even with eyes that look like they have cataracts, it doesn't detract from his charm; on the contrary, it gives him a unique kind of handsomeness.
Even Tsunade was a little confused when she first saw him.
At this moment, Xia Yan didn't pay attention to Kushina's reaction, since rescuing her wasn't his main purpose.
He came here to find some living people as targets to test his newly acquired abilities.
However, the three ninjas from Kumogakure recognized him immediately.
"You...you are!!!"
The leading Jonin sounded extremely surprised, as if he hadn't expected to run into Xia Yan here.
"That tall figure, handsome appearance, tomoe-shaped earrings, and those eyes that seem to see right through people!"
"It can't be wrong!"
"He is a disciple of Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin—"
"That 'White Demon' Hyuga Natsuhiko of Konoha!!!"
"Who is the White Demon?! You little bastard?!"
Upon hearing the way the other person addressed him, Xia Yan's forehead immediately creased into a cross, and he said in an extremely displeased tone.
"White Demon".
This is the reputation he earned during the Second Shinobi World War.
Because he entered the battlefield as Orochimaru's disciple, Xia Yan naturally received more attention than others.
Because of his vicious personality, ruthless fighting style, great strength, and skill in tactics such as surprise attacks, ambushes, and raids, he is described as as ferocious as a demon.
In addition, his signature Byakugan, characteristic of the Hyuga clan, earned him the name "White Demon".
Chapter 130 How Scum is Made
"Who is the White Demon?! You damned bastards?!"
Xia Yan said in an extremely displeased tone.
He himself naturally disliked this title.
This title would involuntarily remind him of that silver-haired, naturally curly woman with eyes like a dead fish, a wooden sword at her waist, who spent her days idly and carefree, had an extreme love for sweets, and was utterly shameless.
Every time someone calls him by this title, he feels like the words 'Integrity -10' will appear above his head.
Unfortunately, it was the enemy who shouted it, and he couldn't stop them just because he wanted to.
Moreover, his outstanding performances have only made the nickname more and more widely known.
In the end, even their own people inexplicably started shouting it.
It wasn't until he publicly objected on several occasions, declaring that he disliked the title, that the ninjas of Konoha stopped calling him White Demon.
However, people from other ninja villages were naturally unaware of this.
Or rather, even if you knew, you wouldn't care.
After all, the more unhappy Xia Yan was as an enemy, the happier they were.
Seeing Xia Yan blocking their way, the three Rainin ignored Kushina, who had lost the ability to resist and could only walk with difficulty.
Instead, they formed a swastika pattern and surrounded Xia Yan in the middle.
Seeing that the situation seemed to be under control, a Chunin from Kumogakure asked:
"White Demon! Why are you..."
"What if you curse again?!"
He wanted to ask Xia Yan why he was here, but before he could finish speaking, he saw an extremely dangerous white light emanating from Xia Yan's palm.
White Eye - Divine Sky Strike!
boom!
There was a roar.
The Chunin from Kumogakure instantly turned into a pile of hero fragments.
He died completely without even uttering a sound.
The white fist, formed entirely of chakra and ocular power, continued to extend backward without hindrance after shattering the Raikage's body into pieces.
Even the thickest trees, requiring two people to encircle, appeared incredibly fragile in the face of this terrifying force.
The moment they made contact, they were pierced through without any obstruction.
Because Xia Yan restrained his strength this time, Shen Kongji's seemingly solid fist only opened a path a little over half a meter wide in the forest.
However, this terrifying power still intimidated the two remaining Rainin.
Even the Jonin from Kumogakure was no exception.
Because he was a Jonin and knew more, she became even more afraid of Xia Yan.
This is beyond what an elite Jonin could achieve!
They realized that Xia Yan's strength was definitely beyond what the two of them could contend with!
Although the deceased Rainin was only a Chunin, his strength was still not to be underestimated.
It's important to understand that Chunin are already the backbone of a ninja village, while Jonin have already entered the decision-making level of the village.
In fact, every Jonin is theoretically qualified to run for Kage, but most Jonin know their own limitations and won't humiliate themselves by doing so.
More than 70% of ninjas may only ever be genin (lower-ranking ninja).
"Seriously, giving someone such an awful nickname comes at a price! You scumbag!"
Looking at the Rainin on the ground, now reduced to mere scum, Xia Yan curled his lip in disdain.
"So cool!!!"
Kushina, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, immediately brightened up when she heard this.
The gaze directed at Xia Yan was filled with admiration.
Clearly, those words struck a chord with her.
After all, she was often given unpleasant nicknames because of her bright red hair.
Every time someone calls me by a nickname, I feel like smashing their head in.
Xia Yan's actions and words immediately made her feel a sense of identification.
If Xia Yan's system were the kind of romance guide system that shows affection levels, then the words "Affection Up" would already be floating above Kushina's head.
"Didn't I tell you not to call me 'White Demon'?!"
Ignoring Kushina, who was almost finished conquering herself, Natsuhiko turned his Byakugan, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, to the remaining two Cloud Village ninjas.
"You never said that!"
Another Chunin from Kumogakure couldn't help but retort...
"..."
"You're being a bit too talkative."
Xia Yan glanced at him, annoyed.
"……when!?"
The Chunin let out a gasp.
Suddenly, a venomous snake, as thick as an adult's calf, coiled around his body, completely binding him to the spot.
As Orochimaru's disciple, Natsuhiko, who also signed a summoning contract with Ryuchi Cave, is naturally proficient in the series of snake-based ninjutsu that Orochimaru developed.
"It's just a snake! Don't underestimate me! Watch me easily break free from it!"
As if to motivate himself, the Chunin from Kumogakure let out a roar.
Then, amidst a series of cracking sounds, the giant snake snapped his arms, thighs, and countless ribs.
He collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
"Are you an idiot? That's a ninja beast! Do you think it's just an ordinary snake?"
Xia Yan gave him a speechless look.
"The ninjas of Kumogakure don't seem to be very smart..."
"Oh, right, right, it doesn't matter if we only eat one or two arms and two or three legs, but don't eat the whole thing."
"After all, even though he's just a Chunin, he should still be able to extract some information."
Completely ignoring the 1.4 Jonin who were watching him warily, Xia Yan turned his back to them and spoke to the giant snake, which was as thick as a calf.
The giant snake nodded in a human-like manner, bit the neck of the Cloud Village ninja, injected a poison that would cause him to faint, and then began to enjoy its midnight snack.
"Damn it! Don't look down on people, 'White Demon'!!!"
He seemed to be angered by Xia Yan's indifferent attitude, or perhaps he thought that Xia Yan's back had revealed a weakness.
