Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 The Hunt Begins

Two days later, Uchiha Feiyun once again stepped into the underground secret chamber of the Bounty Exchange Office.

This time, Que Ni's attitude was even more respectful than before, even personally pouring him a cup of expensive Snow Country strong liquor.

"Nameless Young Brother, your bounty has spread throughout the entire underground world."

Que Ni squinted his eyes and handed over a scroll, "Currently, three A-rank hunting squads have taken the order. Among them, the 'Blood Crow' squad is the most efficient and has already completed two targets."

Fei Yun took the scroll, slowly unrolling it. It recorded the latest hunting report:

Sarutobi Kazuya (Genin): Died from poisoning, his body was completely blackened when discovered.

Shimura Kenji (Chunin): Ambushed on his way back from a mission, his head was cut off.

Fei Yun's fingers tapped lightly on the table, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

He looked up at Que Ni: "Not bad. What's Konoha's reaction?"

Que Ni lowered his voice: "They've already started a lockdown. The Third Hokage is furious, and the Anbu are tracing the source of the bounty. However..."

He revealed a cunning smile: "Our Bounty Exchange Office's channels aren't that easy to track."

Fei Yun sneered, then said: "What about the intelligence I asked for?"

Que Ni was well-prepared, pulling a map from his sleeve with several red dots marked on it: "According to informants, Sarutobi Jiri is a Special Jonin of the Sarutobi Clan, currently on a patrol mission near the Land of Fire border. He is expected to pass through 'Quyi Canyon' tonight."

Fei Yun's fingertip paused on the red dot, his killing intent growing in his eyes: "Very good."

Que Ni showed a professional smile: "Then I wish you a pleasant hunt."

After leaving the Bounty Exchange Office, Fei Yun quickly headed to his destination.

After traveling for nearly half a day, he finally arrived at the location marked on the map.

This was a narrow rift valley, with towering rock walls on both sides, making it difficult for light to penetrate, and it was perpetually shrouded in shadow.

Fei Yun stood above the canyon, looking down at the winding path below, a slight smirk on his lips: "This is truly a suitable place for an ambush."

He took out three exploding tags from his Ninja tool pouch and carefully placed them in key positions on the rock walls.

Next, it was time to wait for the prey to take the bait... Night fell, and the canyon was silent.

Suddenly, faint footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Sarutobi Jiri—a burly Jonin, leading two Chunin subordinates, was patrolling along the canyon.

"Captain, the black market bounties have been causing a stir lately. Shouldn't we be more careful?" a Chunin asked in a low voice.

Sarutobi Jiri snorted coldly: "Mere bounty hunters dare to touch Konoha's Ninja? They're looking for death."

No sooner had he spoken than a soft 'click' sound suddenly came from under his feet.

"A trap?!"

Boom—!!

The exploding tags detonated instantly, and the huge shockwave shattered the rock walls, sending countless gravel raining down!

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!" Sarutobi Jiri quickly formed hand signs, and a wall of earth rose from the ground, barely blocking the falling rocks.

However, just as he let out a sigh of relief, a dark shadow burst out of the smoke and dust like a ghost!

Fei Yun, holding a Chakra short blade with a chilling glow wrapped around its body, stabbed towards Sarutobi Jiri at an extremely fast speed!

"Damn it!"

Sarutobi Jiri dodged in a hurry, but his shoulder was still grazed, and blood instantly stained his sleeve.

"Who are you?!" Sarutobi Jiri roared, simultaneously signaling his two subordinates to flank him.

Fei Yun did not answer, merely slowly took off his hood, revealing his handsome face and a pair of scarlet Sharingan.

"That's... Sharingan? Uchiha?!" Sarutobi Jiri's pupils constricted abruptly, "How is this possible! The Uchiha Clan was clearly already..."

"Already annihilated?" Fei Yun sneered, "Too bad, I'm still alive."

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Fei Yun opened his mouth and spewed a scorching fireball, forcing back the two Chunin.

At the same time, he quickly formed hand signs: "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Three Shadow Clones instantly appeared, rushing towards different enemies.

"Don't underestimate Konoha Jonin!" Sarutobi Jiri roared, slamming his hands on the ground: "Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spear!"

Sharp stone spikes suddenly erupted from the ground, piercing through two Shadow Clones.

But the real Fei Yun had already leaped into mid-air, throwing kunai like rain!

"Fire Release: Great Flame Technique!" Sarutobi Jiri quickly formed hand signs, and fierce flames blocked the kunai.

However, Uchiha Feiyun's true killing move had just begun.

"Genjutsu: Sharingan!"

The moment their eyes met, Jiri's movements suddenly froze, the scene before his eyes distorted, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss.

"Damn it... It's Genjutsu! My body... I can't move it!!"

Sarutobi Jiri struggled desperately, but his body was beyond his control.

Pfft—!

Fei Yun's short blade accurately pierced Sarutobi Jiri's heart.

"This stab is just a little bit of interest."

Blood spurted out, Sarutobi Jiri's gaze gradually dispersed, and he finally fell to the ground, lifeless.

The two Chunin only reacted at this moment.

Seeing their fallen captain, they were terrified.

"How can he be so strong? The captain is a Special Jonin!"

Fei Yun said nothing, directly flashed and cut down one of the Chunin.

The other Chunin retreated in horror, his hand holding his weapon trembling.

"Uchiha... we... we are companions from the same village, let's talk this out..."

Fei Yun's Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun, and he directly cast Genjutsu.

—Zing!

The powerful ocular power directly pulled the remaining Chunin into the Genjutsu, making him stand still like a puppet.

"When you and your captain were cooperating to surround me just now, why didn't you remember we were companions?" Fei Yun sneered.

"Pfft!"

Fei Yun raised his blade and brought it down, directly beheading him.

Waving the short blade forcefully towards the ground to shake off the blood, Fei Yun sheathed his blade.

After searching the three for valuables, Fei Yun's eyes lit up: "Not bad, there's over a million in paper money alone, plus various Ninja tools, this haul is almost 1.5 million!"

He then took out Sarutobi Jiri's bounty slip and quickly confirmed it with his eyes.

He couldn't help but frown slightly, muttering to himself: "It actually requires bringing back the body to get the full bounty?!"

"That's really troublesome... Who did you unlucky fellow offend anyway?"

But complaints aside, Fei Yun still grabbed Sarutobi Jiri by the back of his collar, carrying him with one hand behind his back.

For a powerful Ninja, carrying a person is nothing; this weight doesn't affect him at all.

He had already confirmed the intelligence earlier; the other two Chunin were not bountied, so Fei Yun bothered not with their bodies and directly left the place.

After this battle, Fei Yun had a rough idea of his own strength.

Even without using his Spiritual Power/Mental Strength, relying solely on his Sharingan and Ninjutsu, he had firmly reached the Jonin level!

He couldn't help but think to himself: As expected of the Sharingan clan, the emotional stimulation that night actually allowed a Chunin to directly become Jonin level.

However... Fei Yun's lips curved into a smile.

4.5 million Ryo was as good as in his hands!
