"Want to join us? You're a smart guy, you should know how to choose!"
As he spoke, the man pointed to the ninjas and samurai around him, his meaning clear.
"There are quite a lot of people." Haruki nodded noncommittally, then said, "If you want me to join, shouldn't you introduce yourselves first?"
"Hahaha." The man chuckled, not minding Haruki's little trick. He said, "What, you destroyed one of our bounty hunter's guilds a few days ago, and now you don't recognize us?"
He knew Haruki was trying to gather information, but could he escape with so many people around?
As soon as these words came out, Haruki understood. So, it was the bounty hunter's guild coming for revenge.
The bounty hunter's guild's strength was truly formidable. Three Jonin, an elite Jonin-level samurai, and one person he couldn't see through.
He wondered if this was the full strength of the bounty hunter's guild?
He wanted to continue gathering information, but the other party wouldn't give him the chance.
"Join us now, or you'll die!"
The man grinned. Since there was no more information to be had, it was time to fight.
"Water Release - Great Explosion Water Surge Wave!"
The hands behind his back spun rapidly, and a violent wave of water suddenly appeared, charging towards the enemies in front of him.
He had been secretly forming hand seals even before gathering information, and now it was time to unleash it.
This was a hidden benefit of the system that Haruki had discovered. When he formed hand seals, there were no chakra fluctuations.
As long as no one saw his hands, no one could tell he was forming hand seals.
"Secret Technique - Swallow Return!"
"Demonic Arts - Shikigami!"
"Earth Release - Earth Flow City Wall!"
Three sounds rang out in succession, as the strongest ninja and the strongest samurai attacked simultaneously.
Haruki's Great Explosion Water Surge Wave completely dissipated under the two attacks and one defense, achieving no results.
The moment the Great Explosion Water Surge Wave was unleashed, Haruki began to gather chakra for the Tailed Beast Ball in front of him.
As the Tailed Beast Ball grew larger, Haruki's face grew more and more grim!
Besides the fact that his chakra was almost depleted, it was also because of the strangely dressed man. This man was actually an Onmyoji!
Onmyoji had a long history, even existing before the birth of ninjas.
It wasn't until the Sage of Six Paths created the Ninshu that Onmyoji gradually disappeared.
Although becoming an Onmyoji was extremely difficult, their strength was no less than that of ninjas, and their methods were very strange.
Just looking at the blue-faced, fang-toothed demon floating beside that man was enough to tell.
If Haruki hadn't seen a Shinigami in the original story, he would have thought this guy was a Shinigami.
"Tailed Beast Ball—!"
The moment the waves were shattered, Haruki unleashed a basketball-sized Tailed Beast Ball with immense power.
This Tailed Beast Ball contained two thousand of Haruki's chakra points. After releasing it, he had less than a hundred chakra points left.
"Shikigami - Teleportation!"
"Secret Technique - One-Sword Slash!"
"Body Flicker Technique!"
Looking at the ever-growing Tailed Beast Ball, the faces of these people turned pale. None of them knew that Haruki had such a trick up his sleeve.
The Shikigami teleported the man out of the Tailed Beast Ball's range, and two Jonin used the Body Flicker Technique to escape.
The strongest samurai was incredibly fast, his speed comparable to a Jonin's Body Flicker Technique.
"Boom!"
After the four of them moved out of the Tailed Beast Ball's range, the Tailed Beast Ball finally reached its target and exploded instantly.
There wasn't even a scream. These people were all reduced to dust, disappearing from the world.
Only a crater tens of meters wide remained, making people's hearts tremble.
The four who had dodged the Tailed Beast Ball looked grim. They had thought it would be an easy task, but so many people had died, which was absolutely unforgivable!
"Kill! Kill him!"
The man who controlled the Shikigami was completely enraged, his voice becoming sharp.
"Tsunade, Jiraiya! If you two don't show up, this little guy is going to die!"
Seeing the four charging towards him, even though he only had enough chakra left for a Great Fireball Technique, Haruki wasn't flustered at all.
The commotion here was so loud, Tsunade would definitely hear it and come over.
As for Jiraiya, during the previous battle, Haruki had accidentally seen a tuft of white hair on the roof of the inn.
"Wild Hair Lion Technique!"
"Painful Heaven Foot!"
"Boom!"
The two of them were worthy of being Kage-level ninjas. With just one move, Jiraiya bound a Jonin with his hair and strangled him.
Tsunade, due to her fear of blood, simply kicked the person so hard that he couldn't stand up. Then, she instantly appeared behind Haruki and turned around.
"Jiraiya, it's yours!"
Before Jiraiya could speak, Tsunade had already divided the work. All the enemies were left to Jiraiya, while she and Haruki left first.
The rest was self-explanatory. A samurai and an Onmyoji were nothing against Jiraiya.
In less than five minutes, Jiraiya had already killed the two of them and found Tsunade and Haruki.
This was only because the Onmyoji's methods were strange. Otherwise, he could have finished it sooner.
"Tsunade, long time no see." Jiraiya greeted Tsunade first, then turned to Haruki and asked, "Who are you, kid? Why did you provoke the bounty hunter's guild?"
As expected of Jiraiya, he recognized the bounty hunter's guild just by fighting them. Haruki was secretly shocked, but he answered truthfully.
As they walked and talked, the three of them quickly returned to the inn, and Shizune ran out.
"Haruki, you're so amazing! You killed twenty or so people, leaving only four, including a Jonin!"
Shizune's eyes were sparkling as she looked at Haruki. Her pretty little face was full of admiration.
She was thirteen years old and already a Chunin, but Haruki was only six years old and already so strong. It was amazing!
As soon as she said this, even Jiraiya and Tsunade looked at Haruki in surprise.
They arrived just as Haruki was releasing the Great Explosion Water Surge Wave. They hadn't seen the previous battle.
They had thought that Haruki had only blown up a bunch of trash, but he had already killed a Jonin before that.
"Are you really six years old? You're not actually a few decades old, but just can't grow up, are you?"
Jiraiya's eyes were glazed over, his mind uncontrollably wandering.
Although Tsunade didn't say anything, her surprised gaze made Haruki feel uncomfortable. He immediately decided to slip away.
There were still a few cards on the battlefield that he needed to collect. He didn't have time to chat with them.
"Tsunade-san, Jiraiya-san, I'm going out for a bit, I'll be back soon."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Haruki used his last bit of chakra to perform a Body Flicker Technique and disappeared.
After Haruki disappeared, Jiraiya turned his head to Tsunade mechanically, his face black and white, and asked, "Tsunade, am I that old?"
The word "old man" greatly offended Jiraiya, who was in his prime. It was like a direct hit from Haruki's Tailed Beast Ball.
After leaving Tsunade and Jiraiya, Haruki quickly returned to the battlefield. There were no bodies left.
Even the crater he had blasted out had disappeared. Apparently, Jiraiya had used Earth Release to restore it.
But the glowing cards were still there.
He remembered that one of these cards had dropped when Tsunade kicked. He wondered if it was Painful Heaven Foot or the Senju physique.
This made Haruki eager.
