Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Tread-tap-

The guards parted to make way, and clear footsteps came from behind them.

Followed by.

In the sight of the three Sand Village members, a young man with a black ponytail, wearing a simple rabbit mask with a pattern, a blue and white robe, a short sword hanging at his waist, and an extraordinary temperament, walked out.

"Go back."

"Yes!" Mako responded, making a gesture, and the soldiers in both the outer and inner cities left their positions and returned to their posts.

Then, Mako looked at Shirahoshi, bowed deeply, and asked respectfully:

"My lord, would you like me to stay?"

"what ever."

Shirahoshi formally sized up the young Sand Village trio. Judging by their ages, even within the current world's age, he seemed older than the three before him.

"What brings the Sand Village ninja here?"

Yekura impulsively wanted to step forward and question him, but Karura stopped her, shaking her head and indicating that the captain, Rasa, should handle it.

Seeing this, Rasa crossed his arms and took a step forward: "An Lushan once fought against our Sunagakure Village..."

"Who told you to move?"

"Varied..."

boom!

Luo Sha's entire body was instantly struck head-on by an unseen force, and his body flew backward in a straight line, crashing into a building less than a hundred meters behind him.

"Luo Sha!" x2

Bai Xing's eyes remained calm, as if she had just done something perfectly ordinary: "In Loulan, although ninjas are not prohibited from entering, someone should have told you not to use ninjutsu lightly when you entered the city, right?"

"Don't try anything funny in front of me."

“I will not treat you as gently as my guards.”

scoff-

Luo Sha was lying in the dent of the building, sand sliding down his body and face.

"So fast."

"It's a fist."

"Using only physical strength, he can achieve speeds imperceptible to the naked eye while remaining stationary... This is a monster skilled in hand-to-hand combat!"

Luo Sha looked down at his chest, where a clear fist mark was visible.

However, he couldn't see Shirahoshi's speed at all, and since both he and Karura were ninjas who could sense ninjutsu, they didn't notice the opponent's attack at all!

—This is the advanced weight training developed by Bai Xing. During the weight training phase, it is impossible for people to detect that Bai Xing is carrying a weight.

With practice, one can master the strength and intensity of each part of the body, making it exceptionally easy to use.

"Damn it. You dare attack a Sand Village ninja? Do you have a death wish? Scorch Release..."

"Wait, Yecang!"

Karura stopped Yekura from forming a hand seal, bowed slightly forward, and said apologetically, "My lord, I apologize on behalf of my companion for his rudeness."

We meant no harm; we simply wished to speak with Her Majesty on behalf of Sunagakure about matters concerning the cooperation between the former Minister Anrokusan and Sunagakure.

"I wonder how Minister An Lushan is doing now?"

After Karura finished speaking, she raised her head slightly, opened her bright eyes, and observed Shirahoshi and Mako's every move.

Unfortunately, apart from the occasional glimpse of affection in her eyes when she looked at Shirahoshi, Mako maintained a completely expressionless face.

Shirahoshi, on the other hand, remained remarkably calm.

"So that's what it was about."

"I expected you would come."

"Let's put the cooperation aside for now and talk about the losses your arrival has brought to our ancient Loulan Kingdom."

"Losses?" Garuda's expression faltered slightly.

“Of course.” Shirahoshi’s gaze fell on Rasa, who was crawling out from the dent in the building wall, then on the bewildered Karura and the furious Yogura:

"It is because of your misuse of ninjutsu that our ancient Loulan Kingdom has sounded the alarm to protect the safety of merchants, travelers, and even local residents."

"Now many people have been forced to seek refuge in our ancient Loulan Kingdom."

"Time is very precious. For some people, every minute and every second is worth thousands or even tens of thousands of Wind Coins."

Tell me, should they compensate us or not?

This was the first time Galuro had heard such a request, and his face darkened instantly. But for the sake of the mission, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "We should compensate you."

"very good."

"Next is the house."

"Your ninjas caused damage and destruction to the buildings of our city's residents."

Tell me, should they compensate us or not?

"You're the one who broke it, why should we pay for it!"

This time, even Karura couldn't hold back any longer and let Yokura speak.

Beneath the mask, Bai Xing smiled, a slight upturn to her lips.

"Is this a consensus among you, or just this lady's opinion?"

"We won't lose a single penny."

"and."

"We, the Sand Village, also demand that you compensate us for the breach of contract by unilaterally terminating our cooperation!" Rasa's words were full of force.

"That's it."

"You may have forgotten something."

"This is neither your Sunagakure nor your Land of Wind."

Beneath the mask, Shirahoshi's chakra eyes flashed briefly, then she raised her arms to her chest and said, "One finger. I can take you down."

"What? Arrogant!!" Luo Sha didn't react at first, but his face quickly turned red.

One finger?! Do you think you're the god of the ninja world?!

Even the Third Kazekage, the strongest Kazekage in the history of Sunagakure, wouldn't dare say such a thing!

Luo Sha stirred up the surrounding sand, preparing to launch an attack.

But soon, Karura suddenly attacked, punching Rasa in the face. Before Rasa could react, he was sent flying again, leaving a long trail of dust in his wake.

stab-

"Galuluo?" Ye Cang originally planned to watch the show of the Loulan Kingdom's high-ranking officials, but he didn't expect his good friend and companion to suddenly make a move against Luo Sha.

"No, it wasn't me. I clearly just now..." Karura's words were cut short as her body began to move again.

With hands crossed, the body begins to manipulate the surrounding sand, which then appears beneath the feet.

At this moment, Karura seemed to be gliding and accelerating as if stepping on sand, and after completing the gliding technique, she took out a kunai: "Rasa, get out of the way!!"

Luo Sha was still a little confused and hadn't reacted yet, but soon a bright black kunai pierced towards his brow.

The sense of impending death made Rasa move his neck at the last moment.

The wind brushed past Luo Sha's ear, leaving a slight scratch on his cheek. A sharp pain shot through him, and blood flowed out.

Rasa immediately used Sand Body to create distance between himself and Karura, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Karura, that attack was serious! If he hadn't dodged, he really would have died!

If a Sharingan ninja were here, they would clearly see that Karura used Wind Release chakra in his kunai, which is why the sand defense on Rasa's face was penetrated.

"What's wrong? The real show has just begun. Jonin from Sunagakure." Shirahoshi's words landed just as she finished speaking.

At that moment, a thunderclap resounded in the minds of the three, piercing the darkness of their spiritual world.

"It's you!" Rasa said that no matter how much he harassed Karura, Karura would never go so far as to try to kill him with a kunai.

At this moment, Luo Sha was filled with fear and hatred towards Bai Xing: fear because he didn't know what methods Bai Xing had used, and hatred because Bai Xing had used the person he liked against him.

"Impossible! Even if it's puppetry, it's impossible to control someone else to use ninjutsu, and to use it so smoothly!" Yecang couldn't accept this fact and shouted.

"Stop talking nonsense! Find a way to sever the chakra threads on Karura's body, otherwise we'll only become passive..."

Before Rasa could finish speaking, Karura grabbed a kunai and charged forward, using a ninjutsu called Wind Blade: "Damn it, I can't control my chakra right now!"

Seeing this, Rasa raised his hands forward, and countless grains of sand immediately appeared in front of him, attempting to grab Karura.

Kogarura moved with incredible agility, dodging attack after attack like a wildcat, before rushing towards the panicked Rasa:

"Luo Sha!!!"

At this moment, as was customary, Yekura filled her kunai with chakra, seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and aimed at Karura's upper body: "Good opportunity!"

Seeing this, Shirahoshi smiled coldly: "How well they cooperated. They used the sand tide to try to attract my attention, then used a sand clone to make Karura hit them, and then had Yekura aim at the chakra threads that control Karura."

After all, the chakra threads that control the puppet can only be located above the body.

Your teamwork was quite good.

Karura breathed a slight sigh of relief as her kunai struck Rasa's clone's heart perfectly. Above, Yekura sneered, thinking to herself, "Even if you see through it, you can't stop her."

A black kunai, coated in blue chakra, is about to collide with the chakra threads...

"But you should use Wind Release chakra immediately."

"Ordinary chakra cannot penetrate my chakra threads."

Bai Xing commented calmly.

Clang——

Yekura's kunai did indeed strike Shirahoshi's very hidden chakra thread, which followed a parabolic trajectory: it extended from Shirahoshi's position into the air before landing on Karura.
