Chapter 91 Chasing the Wind and Moon
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
In the Death Forest, the air was filled with the whooshing sound of swords cutting through the air, and the flashes of swords were endless.
Under the astonished gazes of Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai, Shinzuki Seiun leaped from the tree trunk and then transformed into a shimmering afterimage in the air.
Like a gust of wind, it drifted among the trees; like a ray of light, it shone around the giant bear.
His figure darted about, sword light flashing everywhere.
Sarutobi Asuma unconsciously uttered, "Wow—that's fast."
Her red eyes trembled with excitement: — So handsome.
At this moment, emotions and gender were irrelevant. Gazing at the leaping sword light before them, a unique, ethereal charm of swordsmanship captivated them, making it impossible for them to look away.
Swift speed and graceful movements are the hallmarks of the Lv2 Star Chasing and Moon Chasing Sword Technique. It lacks unique and spectacular special moves, relying solely on its exceptional speed and fluid movements to reach the Lv2 level.
Shenyue Xingyun enjoyed the thrill of the sword light flying everywhere.
His abundant chakra allowed him to unleash the power of the Chasing Wind and Moon Style. As the sword light and his figure flashed, the giant bear roared with its claws outstretched, but it couldn't catch a glimpse of the Divine Moon Nebula.
Flakes of fur fell, and before long, a thick layer of bear fur had accumulated on the ground.
A moment later, the sword light abruptly stopped.
The bear's frenzied movements also stopped at the same time.
Its waving limbs suddenly froze in mid-air, like a giant rag doll, its house-sized body motionless.
Before him, the Divine Moon Nebula stood on his nose, a long sword pressed against its brow.
"Glug~" The giant bear swallowed.
Then, its agape jaws slowly retracted, its gaping maw gradually closed, and its reddened eyes began to clear.
Shen Yue Xingyun's lips curled slightly.
"What? You're not playing anymore?"
The giant bear couldn't understand, but its huge mouth trembled slightly, revealing a human-like, ingratiating smile.
Shenyue Xingyun gave a soft hum.
He just didn't like bloody scenes. If the giant bear in front of him didn't know better, he wouldn't mind taking both bear paws home.
Now it seems that the other party wasn't really crazy.
He turned his head and looked at Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai, who were staring blankly into the distance.
"Shall we set off?"
"Let's... depart?" Sarutobi Asuma was still in a daze.
"Nebula, how did you do that?" Kurenai Yuhi asked, her eyes shining. "Such amazing swordsmanship."
Shenyue Xingyun chuckled softly but did not answer.
"Get on, everyone, let's ride this thing."
Sarutobi Asuma snapped out of his daze and looked at the giant bear that was motionless at the feet of Shingetsu Seiun.
A breeze blew through the forest, causing the giant bear's fur to fall in rustles. Its once wild and unruly fur was now neatly trimmed, leaving two deep marks from its shoulders to its waist, making it look like it was wearing overalls.
"Gulp~" He swallowed hard. Although the giant bear's appearance had become much more docile, its enormous size still made him hesitate.
"Nebula, maybe we should just forget about it."
"I think walking is fine."
"Whatever you want," Shenyue Xingyun said casually. His reason for riding the giant bear was certainly not to attract attention. It was just that Shuimu had used some method to keep the strange smell on his body, and riding the giant bear would reduce a lot of trouble.
He looked at Kurenai beside him: "Kurenai, would you like to come up and sit down?"
Looking at the giant bear, Kurenai was also a little scared, but seeing the questioning look in Shingetsu Seiun's eyes, she gritted her teeth, mustered her courage, and nodded.
Then, she leaped and landed on the bear's head.
Upon seeing this, Sarutobi Asuma immediately regretted his actions.
Just as he mustered the courage to speak, Shingetsu Nebula leaped lightly from the giant bear's nose and landed beside Yuhi Kurenai, then pointed the tip of her sword toward the Central Tower.
"Let's go in that direction."
The giant bear dared not resist and turned to walk away in the direction the sword tip was pointing.
With each heavy footstep, the ground trembled slightly, and a heart-shaped piece of fur, just like a Corgi's, swayed on the bear's enormous rump.
Sarutobi Asuma: "—Red, Nebula, wait for me~"
With the giant bear riding along, the rest of the journey went much more smoothly.
A gorilla and a python followed the scent, but under the watchful eye of Shenyue Xingyun, they observed from a distance for a moment before slowly retreating.
A refund is not an option.
Although they weren't ninja beasts, they possessed basic intelligence. Seeing their old friends dressed in brand-new overalls as transportation, they knew these people couldn't possibly be their prey.
Saving your life is the most important thing.
After some time, the sound of water could be heard from ahead.
The fog thickened, and the dense moisture, like a fine drizzle, quickly soaked the three people's clothes.
Just then, the giant bear beneath Shenyue Xingyun's feet sniffed, a look of confusion in its eyes.
Shen Yue Xingyun's heart stirred. He placed his gaze on the other person's nose, looked into their eyes, and asked, "The smell is gone?"
This time, the other party didn't understand. However, seeing that the drool had stopped flowing from the other party's mouth and their eyes had returned to normal, Shenyue Xingyun was basically certain of her guess.
"Red Nebula, there's a river ahead."
"It seems like we can't get past this bear." At that moment, Sarutobi Asuma, who was running ahead, suddenly said from the side.
Shenyue Xingyun looked ahead and, sure enough, a river blocked her way through the mist.
Shingetsu Seiun leaped into the air and arrived beside Sarutobi Asuma, with Yuhi Kurenai following closely behind.
After observing for a moment, Shenyue Xingyun turned to look at the giant bear that dared not move and gently waved her hand.
The latter understood this time. A look of relief and joy appeared in the bear's eyes. It turned around, lay down, stuck out its rump with the heart-shaped fur trimmed into its rear end, and ran away with a "thump".
Looking at the lake ahead, Kurenai asked, "Should we go straight there, or use shadow clones to scout ahead?"
Considering Mizuki's cunning, Shingetsu Seiun, to be on the safe side, said to Sarutobi Asuma, "Same as before."
"Shadow clones scout ahead."
Compared to ordinary clones, shadow clones play a greater role in scouting. Neither he nor Kurenai Yuhi have mastered shadow clones yet; only Asuma Sarutobi has.
Sarutobi Asuma was equally eager to participate. This was a rare opportunity to showcase himself in front of Yuhi Kurenai.
"Shadow Clone Technique!" "!~"
"Tap tap tap—" The shadow clone walked on the water, gradually becoming indistinct in the thick mist.
Five minutes later, the shadow clone ran back.
"I've checked it."
"There are no traps on the water, but there were a few on the opposite bank, which I have already destroyed."
Kurenai Yuhi asked, somewhat uneasy, "Asuma, are you sure you've destroyed everything?"
Faced with Kurenai's question, Sarutobi Asuma felt somewhat uncertain. After all, he himself hadn't always been entirely accurate in his statements before.
After thinking for a moment, he looked up and said, "Okay, the shadow clone will go first, and you all wait three seconds and step in the shadow clone's footprints."
"
The idea was sound, and none of them had any objections.
Immediately, the three of them walked on water and quickly crossed the river. Sarutobi Asuma's shadow clone scouted ahead, and the others followed in his footsteps.
After some time, the central tower came into view in the distance.
