ACSP: Chapter 45: One-shot kill of Hidden Mist Chunin, eliminating doubts!
Jiang Chen frowned: "Are you sure they really killed that Zabuza at the time?"
Zhang Xiaolin shrugged: "Who knows? Anyway, that's what they said themselves."
At this moment, Ye Ju, who was standing on the side, suddenly said: "I know about this. At that time, they only used thousands of explosive tags to severely injure that Zabuza. The opponent's real cause of death was having his neck pierced by flying needles from a Hidden Mist Anbu. That Hidden Mist Anbu must have been an NPC in the secret realm who cleaned up the mess; after killing that Zabuza, the other party carried his corpse away."
"So that's how it is." Jiang Chen was thoughtful.
Anyone who has watched Naruto knows.
The guy who pierced Zabuza's neck with flying needles was not a Hidden Mist Anbu at all, but the cross-dressing master in Naruto, Haku.
It seems that in that hell-level mode secret realm, the truly difficult opponent is not the Demon Zabuza, but that Haku.
"Then what difficulty of the secret realm are you planning to enter this time?" After understanding all the circumstances, Jiang Chen looked up at Zhang Xiaolin and asked.
Zhang Xiaolin said frankly: "We have always cleared hard mode before, but given that your level is not high now and it's your first time entering this secret realm, I am preparing to go to the simple mode first to test the waters..."
Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Actually, I think we can just go straight to hell-level difficulty."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaolin, Ye Ju, and the others were all stunned.
Going straight to hell-level difficulty right from the start?
This kid hasn't lost his mind, has he?
"Alright, bragging time is over. Let's just enter the secret realm." Zhang Xiaolin obviously didn't take Jiang Chen's words to heart, thinking he was bragging again.
This left Jiang Chen speechless.
He clearly had plenty of strength, so why did the people around him keep questioning him?
Can't a newcomer be awesome?
What a cliché plot.
Zhang Xiaolin approached the secret realm entrance.
Following the consciousness link, she quickly entered the secret realm selection phase.
Select secret realm difficulty — [Simple]!
Enter secret realm!
— Whoosh!
A flash of white light flickered.
Jiang Chen and his party were immediately teleported into a spacious room.
The Hokage Office.
At this moment, an old man wearing a Hokage haori, a Hokage hat, and holding a pipe in his mouth was sitting in front of them.
It was none other than the Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
A Simple-mode Land of Waves secret realm?
It seems I've been underestimated.
Jiang Chen glanced at the secret realm's difficulty, feeling a bit disappointed inside.
It seems I really need to find an opportunity to show off my strength.
Otherwise, in this team, I won't have any say at all.
The process of accepting the mission is nothing worth mentioning.
Zhang Xiaolin and her team have already farmed this secret realm several times, so they know by heart how to accept the mission.
With just a few words, they received the mission from Hiruzen Sarutobi to escort Tazuna back to the Land of Waves.
Jiang Chen stood by and watched quietly, not saying a word the entire time.
It's just that Tazuna is a bit annoying.
While drinking cheap shochu that was nearing its expiration, he drunkenly criticized their team for all sorts of shortcomings.
This familiar feeling made Jiang Chen find it somewhat amusing.
So, their team's role in this secret realm is Team 7?
After successfully accepting the mission.
Jiang Chen and the others left the Hokage Building with Tazuna.
Tazuna kept muttering nonsense along the way, occasionally letting out a drunken belch.
The smell was absolutely disgusting.
Ye Ju suddenly thought of something very interesting.
She walked up to Jiang Chen with a smile and whispered, "I remember a team in the past couldn't stand this old man, so they beat him up as soon as they left the Hokage Building."
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up: "Can we beat him?"
Honestly, he really wanted to beat up this nagging old man right now.
But Ye Ju shook her head and said, "Of course you can't beat him. If you lay a hand on the mission target, our escort mission will fail. So, young man, if you can't stand it, you'll just have to hold it in. Big sister can't help you this time."
It was a serious statement, but coming from Ye Ju, Jiang Chen always felt it sounded a bit dirty.
While they were talking, they had already walked out of Konoha Village.
Because they needed to take a ferry to the Land of Waves.
After leaving Konoha Village, they headed straight toward the seaside dock along the map.
The journey was very smooth, and no unexpected situations occurred.
Until they passed by a forest.
Suddenly.
Two figures rushed out from both sides of the forest at lightning speed.
Their movements were as fast as thunder, and they charged toward them without hesitation.
"We've been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhang Xiaolin and the others had long known that two Hidden Mist Chunin would appear here, so they had prepared early.
Ye Ju had even taken out her ninja tools in advance.
However, this time, they were all mistaken.
Because just as they were about to make a move.
Jiang Chen had already flashed in front of the two Kirigakure ninjas at an even faster speed, holding the lightning-flashing Chidori in one hand and the swirling Rasengan in the other.
He pushed both palms out simultaneously.
In a flash of lightning.
The two Hidden Mist Chunin fell to the ground one after another, lifeless.
Seeing this scene.
Zhang Xiaolin and the others were completely stunned.
They had cleared this secret realm stage many times.
But every time, they had to engage in a fierce battle with those two Hidden Mist Chunin.
Sometimes they would even get entangled by them, wasting a lot of time.
But this time.
Those two Hidden Mist Chunin didn't even have time to attack them; they were killed by Jiang Chen immediately after appearing.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it even in their dreams.
"Crisis averted."
Jiang Chen clapped his hands, turned back to smile faintly at Zhang Xiaolin and the others, looking calm and composed, as if he hadn't taken those two Hidden Mist Chunin seriously at all.
Ye Ju covered her small mouth in surprise and said, "My god, little brother Jiang Chen, you were too fast just now, right? We haven't even had a chance to make a move, and you've already finished it!"
Zhang Xiaolin stared at Jiang Chen with wide eyes: "Jiang Chen, what skill did you just use? How could you kill two Chunin in one hit?"
"A-rank Lightning Release Ninjutsu, Chidori!"
"A-rank Ninjutsu, Rasengan!"
Jiang Chen said truthfully, his expression remaining indifferent, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
However, after hearing his words.
Zhang Xiaolin and the others couldn't sit still.
Two A-rank Ninjutsu.
And used simultaneously.
How did this kid manage to do that?
Isn't that too monstrous?
"How about it? Is my damage output okay?"
Seeing that his goal of intimidation had been achieved, Jiang Chen got straight to the point and began to negotiate terms with Zhang Xiaolin and the others.
He said the same thing again.
Go to the Hell-mode secret realm.
If this had been before, Zhang Xiaolin would definitely have ignored him, or even thought he was bragging again.
But this time, Zhang Xiaolin didn't.
Because she wasn't blind.
The attack power Jiang Chen had just demonstrated completely surpassed their team's original damage dealer.
How could such a person brag, and why would he bother to brag?
"This kid is so strong; no wonder the City Lord and the Eldest Miss value him so much."
"It seems the rumor is true; those two Genin he contracted are very likely hidden Kage-level characters!"
"Isn't that obvious? Otherwise, how could he have two A-rank Ninjutsu skills?"
"Such a man is so charming..."
At this moment.
The doubts Zhang Xiaolin and the others had about Jiang Chen had completely vanished.
All that remained was deep shock and surprise.
