Chapter 10 Old Site
At the family training ground of the Cao Qian clan, two figures, one large and one small, were fighting rapidly.
"Earth Escape to Huangquan Marsh" Cao Qian Liuyu shouted in a low voice. Cao Qianyu in front of her had already fallen into the quagmire.
After the attack was successful, Cao Qianliuyu did not relax his vigilance. I saw Cao Qianyu on the opposite side forming a seal and shouting: "Cao escapes, Qianye binds". The quagmire that Cao Qianyu had just been trapped in began to grow a lot of grass blades, and then the grass blades pulled Cao Qianyu out of the quagmire.
"You can actually use this ninjutsu, which is used to restrain the enemy, like this!" Kusanagi Ryuyu suppressed Xingzhong's surprise, and immediately changed his hands to the "Kusa Escape Chiba Ultimate Kill"
Countless pointed leaves separated from the main body and shot towards Cao Qianyu with a faint chakra light.
"Cao Qianyu Qianye Liudun" Cao Qianyu formed a defensive seal calmly.
"It's not over yet!" Cao Qianliuyu immediately changed his seal style after performing Qianye Jishu.
"Cao Escape, Extreme Spear Break Attack" Cao Qian Liuyu stretched out a hand and pointed directly at Cao Qianyu, and charged forward at high speed. As Cao Qianyu charged forward, dozens of leaves of grass sprouted from the hand she pointed at Cao Qianyu. These dozens of leaves of grass were quickly entangled and woven into a grass spear. The entire grass spear exuded dark blue. The chakra light rushed towards Cao Qianyu's newly formed Qianye Liudun with the power of a cavalry to defeat thousands of armies.
With a bang, Cao Qianyu successfully broke through the Qianye Liuyu shield that Cao Qianyu had used in a hurry, and stabbed Cao Qianyu. To be precise, it is Cao Qianyu's shadow clone.
This 'Grass Release, Extreme Spear Breaking Attack' is a ninjutsu that Kusanagi Ryūha learned from the family's secret Grass Release scroll. Focus the chakra on the tip of the grass spear made with Grass Release, and at the same time attack at extremely high speed to hit the surface, with extremely strong penetrating power and illusion-breaking power. The single target attack power is much stronger than the range attack ninjutsu such as Chiba Gokuza, and it is a move specially used to break defense.
"Yes, Liuyu, the fact that you can defeat my shadow clone now shows that your strength has improved to a considerable level. It's time to start practicing Bamboo Release, and it's time to take you there." Cao Qianyu finished reading. Kusanagi Ryūyu said happily after his performance.
"Can we finally start practicing bamboo escape? But where is that place?" Cao Qian Liuyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought with surprise and confusion. Before, Cao Qianyu always said that the time was running out and he needed to master Cao Dun thoroughly. Now his strength has reached Cao Qianyu's requirements, but where is that mysterious place?
Seeing the direction in which Cao Qianyu was leading him, Cao Qianliuyu finally couldn't help but asked in confusion:
"Father, didn't you say you wanted to take me to a mysterious place to practice Bamboo Escape? But isn't this direction going to the family's ancestral hall?"
In doubt, Cao Qianyu had already led him to the front of the ancestral hall. However, he did not reply to Kusanagi Ryūha's question, but explained to the black stone wall:
"This black stone wall is called the 'Black Stone Boundary Monument'. It is a special door, a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the family. This door can be opened through the blood of the family's second blood successor, the Awakened One." Cao Qianyu paused here. .
"Remember Liu Yu, the seals to open this door are the five seals of Wei, You, Chen, Wu, and Mao. I will teach you the method of opening the 'Black Stone Boundary Monument' today." After saying this, Cao Qianyu formed the seals Summoning blades of grass that opened the black stone boundary monument, he cut his fingertips with a shuriken and dripped his own blood.
Kusanagi Ryūha was carefully writing down the seals, but she felt an inexplicable uneasiness deep in her heart.
As the hole in the center of the black stone wall slowly expanded, in a burst of white light, Cao Qianyu and his daughter once again entered the original ancestral temple space through the black stone boundary monument.
"According to legend, this ancestral temple space was founded by our ancestor Cao Qianlanyi. The members of the Caoqian clan can enter this space through the black stone boundary monument after awakening their second blood.
In this space are stored various forbidden techniques and secret techniques collected and developed by generations of members of the family. At the same time, it can also be used to detect whether the clansman has the ability to activate the second blood successor, which is the white jade stone pillar I saw when I brought you here last time. "Cao Qianyu was still explaining there.
"But these are not the focus of bringing you here today. The focus is the mysterious place we are going to next." Cao Qianyu finally got to the point. After saying that, he came to a stone wall: "But I need to pick up something before I leave." Cao Qianyu opened the stone wall with seals and took out a scroll.
"The seals for leaving this space are opposite to the seals for opening. They are the five seals of Mao, Wu, Chen, You, and Wei." After saying this, Cao Qianyu began to form seals again to summon grass leaves, as if he was planning to leave here.
Last time Cao Qian Liuyu passed out in the ancestral temple space, so she didn't know how to get out of this space. But what puzzles her now is not the method of getting out, but what exactly does her father Cao Qianyu want to do? Are you about to leave after just coming in? And I just mentioned that I wanted to go to that mysterious place. How to get there? Why should you come here before going?
With a burst of white light, Cao Qianliuyu and Cao Qianyu left the ancestral temple space. When Cao Qian Liuyu was about to ask Cao Qianyu her question, she was stunned, and an aura of dilapidation and vicissitudes came over her.
Looking at the surrounding environment, this seems to be the ancestral hall of the Kusanagi clan, but it is much more dilapidated, as if it has not been repaired for many years and has no people. Kusanagi Liuyu walked out of the dilapidated ancestral hall with doubts, and what came into view was a large group of dilapidated buildings. It is not difficult to infer from the huge dilapidated buildings that a large group of people once lived here. The gaps between the buildings and outside the buildings are full of various kinds of bamboo. The Kusanagi clan loves bamboo, and they planted a lot of bamboo in the family residence in the Grass Country of the Hidden Grass Village, but it still looks too thin compared to what is in front of them. The layers of withered yellow bamboo leaves in the courtyard indicate that this is an abandoned place.
Turning his head and looking at the plaque on the ancestral hall when he just came out, Kusanagi Liuyu formed a seal and performed a small wind escape ninjutsu. Blowing off the dust that had been deposited for many years, the logo below was revealed. Two bamboo leaves intersected, which was the emblem of the Kusanagi clan.
"Where is this?" Liuyu looked around with a puzzled face, all the things that should have been strange but mixed with inexplicable familiarity.
"This is the old site of the Kusa Sen clan in the Land of Fire." Kusa Senyu walked out of the ancestral hall and explained to Kusa Senyu.
"Father, are you saying that we are in the Land of Fire now?" Kusa Senyu was even more confused
"Yes," Kusa Senyu responded.
"But, how could this be? Weren't we still in the Land of Grass just now?" Although he vaguely guessed the answer, Kusa Senyu still couldn't believe it. Only time-space ninjutsu can do this, but the Kusa Sen clan has nothing to do with time-space ninjutsu. Could it be the black stone boundary monument?
Seeing Kusa Chi Liu Yu's expression slowly change from doubt to understanding, Kusa Chi Yu said: "It seems that you have guessed it. Yes, we came to the Fire Country through the Black Stone Boundary Monument."
"It has been said before that the Black Stone Boundary Monument is the key to open the ancestral hall space, but there is more than one key. When the whole family moved, on the premise of ensuring that both black stone boundary monuments have the function of keys, the original black stone boundary monument was cut. One piece was moved to the Grass Country with the family and placed in the ancestral hall of the Grass Country, and the other piece was left here. So we can use the ancestral hall space as a transit point to quickly travel between the Grass Country station and the old site of the Fire Country." Kusa Chi Yu explained.
After speaking, Kusa Chi Yu handed the scroll he had just taken out of the ancestral hall space to Kusa Chi Liu Yu and then continued: "Bamboo escape rarely appears in the family history. The only records are the first generation of bamboo escape users, Lan Yi and your mother Kusa Chi Yu Na." When talking about 'Kusa Chi Yu Na', Kusa Chi Yu's face flashed a trace of unnoticeable hatred.
"What I just gave you is the family's secret bamboo escape scroll, which records some bamboo escape techniques and some insights of Lord Lan Yi and your mother when they practiced bamboo escape. I have nothing to teach you now, so the next practice will depend on you. How much you can comprehend and master is up to you."
Kusa Qianliuyu took the scroll and was thinking about how to practice next. Kusa Qianyu continued: "This is already in the territory of the Fire Country. Few people in the family know about the secret of the Black Stone Boundary Monument, so it is impossible for the top leaders of Kusagakure Village to know. So don't worry too much about someone coming here to disturb you. You can practice bamboo escape with confidence in the old site of the Fire Country family. So you can practice here alone for the next few days, and I will go back to the family to deal with some things." After saying that, Kusa Qianyu planned to leave.
Kusa Qianliuyu understood that she could not always live under her father's wings. She needed to grow up, and the young eagle under the wings could not soar in the sky. Therefore, she did not object, but bowed respectfully and said: "Father, take care."
After walking a few steps, Kusa Qianyu stopped. As if thinking about something, he made up his mind and turned around. He took off the Kusagakure forehead protector tied to his left arm and threw it to Kusanagi Liuyu. "Take it, you are already a mature ninja." After saying that, Kusanagi Liuyu did not look back.
Just as Liuyu was thinking about whether the sentence "You are already a mature ninja" had a deep meaning, Kusanagi Liuyu had disappeared.
