Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 526 - 14: Illusion Technique

Seeing these records, Su Xiao finally understood why the contractors always knew when he was clearing the field, it turned out the Second-Tier contractors had this kind of communication channel.

This channel is quite practical, it greatly facilitates the formation of adventure groups among contractors, after all, those who pass the first-tier assessment are not weaklings, so Reincarnation Paradise encourages these contractors to group together to reduce casualties.

Moreover, some of the items obtained in the Derivative World can also be immediately traded, though such transactions carry high risks and require both parties to have comparable strength.

Su Xiao can speak five times on the Derived World Contact Platform. When he browsed the records, he found that people like Divine Emperor had already spoken over ten times, suggesting they might be higher-tier contractors or adventure group leaders who have extra speaking privileges.

As Su Xiao was scrolling through the ’Derived World Contact Platform,’ a new message popped up.

Huang Yan (Deputy Leader of the Blood Gate Adventure Group): "Recruiting members, requirements: any attribute over 50 points, has mastered core combat skills, priority for healers, mages, main tanks, must have upright character, no weird hobbies like necrophilia, insulting teammates, teasing female members, and no history of betraying adventure groups."

...

Su Xiao’s lips curled up, the Derived World Contact Platform was quite interesting, he decided not to speak for the moment since Divine Emperor and people like Gulu recognized him, keeping a low profile would be wise.

From the ’Derived World Contact Platform,’ Su Xiao gleans an important piece of intelligence: there are three large adventure groups in the Naruto World, namely Divine Emperor, Blood Gate, and Barbarian Sky, all being large adventure groups.

As for the purpose of these adventure groups, Su Xiao had heard earlier: to snatch the Demon Hunting Suit!

The chaos among the three large adventure groups involved hundreds of Second-Tier contractors slaughtering each other, and those not strong enough could only shiver and hide in remote locations during such battles.

"The forest outside Konoha Village...interesting."

Su Xiao hesitated, wondering if he should join in the fray; while large adventure groups had many people, fighting contractors was his forte.

As Su Xiao pondered, a message came through the Derived World Contact Platform again.

Stan (The Head of the Blood Gate Adventure Group): "Gulu, don’t let me find out where you are."

Jin Shisi (Leader of the Barbarian Sky Adventure Group): "Stan, are you nuts? Gulu actually escaped from your hands."

Divine Emperor (God Emperor Adventure Group Leader): "This time it was a hand, next time it’s the head, Gulu."

Gulu (The Sixth Member of the Travel Group): "A bunch of trash, the Demon Hunting Suit is mine; this lady is disappearing now, bye-bye～"

Stan (The Head of the Blood Gate Adventure Group): "Gulu, haven’t you always wanted a duel? Come out if you dare."

Gulu (The Sixth Member of the Travel Group): "Dare? Sorry, this lady is practically flat underneath, not a chance of anything growing there, you idiot."

...

From this information, Su Xiao learned the ultimate winner was the little girl Gulu from the Travel Group, a sugar-loving and homicidal girl, who held the Demon Hunting Ring.

The situation in the Naruto World was becoming more complex; now that Gulu was hiding, those three large adventure groups would dig tirelessly to find her, especially Divine Emperor, as Gulu had killed his sister.

These matters were temporarily irrelevant to Su Xiao; he needed to quickly join a faction, or he would be forcibly executed.

After two hours of travel, a small town appeared in Su Xiao’s sight.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao left that small town with a map in hand.

"Country of Fields, Country of Rivers, Sound Ninja Village, Country of Waterfalls, Country of Hunting, Iron Country, Country of Whirlpools, Land of Rain."

These were the forces surrounding the Country of Fire besides Konoha, a few of which were dismissed by Su Xiao.

Firstly, Sound Ninja Village was ruled out due to a serpent there, and joining meant risking dissection.

The Country of Fields, Country of Rivers, Country of Hunting, Country of Waterfalls, these four small countries were also ruled out for being too weak, unworthy of Su Xiao’s consideration.

This left Iron Country and Land of Rain, though the Country of Whirlpools was weak and a last resort choice.

Between Iron Country and Land of Rain, Su Xiao leaned toward Iron Country, as the Land of Rain harbored too many ruthless people capable of decimating a large ninja village if united.

Such power wasn’t an exaggeration; someone in the Land of Rain even had the strength to single-handedly challenge a ninja village, those eyes being among the peak powers in the latter Chapters of the story.

Therefore, joining Iron Country was the safest bet, their samurai used swords and specialized in techniques to enshroud weapons with energy.

Su Xiao rode on Bubu Wang and, with Bubu Wang’s speed, he could reach Iron Country in a few hours.

...

In the forest far from Konoha Village.

The distance from Konoha was already vast; even if a battle occurred here, Konoha wouldn’t notice for a while.

Crackle~

Trees crackled as they burned, and a red-haired man stood in the forest, with a wound on his chest that looked like it was caused by a dagger-like weapon.

The trees within a few meters of the man were charred black, showing two lines of black footprints along his path, indicating even the soil he treaded caught fire.

This man was Huang Yan, the second-in-command of the Blood Gate Adventure Group.

"Boss, we can’t find her; that girl is too adept at hiding."

"Got it, I’m retreating right away. Divine Emperor is nearly insane, I almost died at his hands."

Huang Yan moved into the distance, leaving a trail of fire behind him, seemingly incinerating everything that came close.

Ten minutes after Huang Yan left, a pale arm reached out from the scorched earth, and a little girl crawled out, looking slightly disheveled.

"Too hot."

The little girl panted with her tongue out, her clothes showing signs of having been burned, an arm severed, and other injuries on her body; she was the Gulu whom the three large adventure groups were searching for.

"Darn fireman, why couldn’t you take another path, had to walk right over my head..."

Gulu shook off the dirt from her hair and nimbly stripped off her clothes, glancing at the remaining stump of her severed arm with some disdain, taking out a sharp long dagger and cutting it cleanly, blood splattering, Gulu didn’t scream, instead looking flushed.

With one hand, she bandaged the wound, pulled out new clothes, and put them on.

"Seems like I’ve angered a lot of people; best to keep hiding. That muscle-head number three is truly unreliable, must kill him when I get the chance."

Speaking, Gulu’s body gradually faded away, walking towards the forest’s edge.

...

Near the border of the Country of Fire.

Su Xiao walked across a snowfield, looking quite displeased.

An hour ago, he arrived in Iron Country and met their leader, Mikuma, expressing his intention to join Iron Country.

Mikuma, though courteous, rejected Su Xiao’s proposal, citing Iron Country’s neutral stance, unable to accept a notorious assassin like him.

Indeed, Su Xiao’s name had spread due to assassinating the Fourth Mizukage and openly attacking Hidden Mist Village, belonging to the top terrorists in the Naruto World.

Crunch, crunch, stepping on the snowy ground, Su Xiao began strategizing, was he left with no choice but to join Sound Ninja Village? They would likely welcome him.

"This is quite tricky."

After walking a while, Su Xiao suddenly sensed something amiss.

"Who’s there? Come out."

Dragon Slash appeared in his hand. Su Xiao stared ahead.

"Oh? Already noticed us, this guy’s perception is sharp! Seems his reputation isn’t unearned, right, Itachi?"

"Hmm, very perceptive, low-level illusion techniques are ineffective."

The light and shadows ahead blurred, and two figures appeared before Su Xiao.
