Another beautiful day, but why didn't I see Might Duy this morning... If he didn't often exercise here, I wouldn't have chosen this place.
Not seeing the eternal Genin Might Duy for a few hours made Bai Lu feel particularly insecure.
It was as if enemy spies could appear by his side at any time and slit the throat of an innocent child like him.
Might Duy was a recognized eternal Genin who brought his son Might Guy with him every day to perform self-abusive training, suffering from discrimination and mockery.
However, Bai Lu would not mock them.
He actually wished that everyone would humiliate Might Duy and Might Guy, so he could have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
At this time, Might Duy, because he only knew Taijutsu and no Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, could not be trusted with important tasks; even as cannon fodder, he was considered redundant. Therefore, he occasionally went to the battlefield as logistical personnel, but spent most of his time in the village.
Also, because the war situation was becoming increasingly severe, the volume of missions plummeted, and the number of solo missions Might Duy could receive also plummeted, to the point where he couldn't even get trash missions like weeding or finding cats.
Moreover, no one was willing to team up with this trash Might Duy to take on higher-Rank missions.
In the original story, when the three-man squad of Might Guy, Genma, and Ebisu encountered the infiltrating Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist within the Land of Fire, it was Might Duy who went to save the day single-handedly.
One can imagine how difficult the situation of this father-son pair, Might Duy and Might Guy, was in Konoha Village at this time.
Plus, the amount of training the father and son duo did required very high quality and quantity of food.
When their lives fell into great distress, Bai Lu took decisive action.
At this time, Bai Lu, sparing no expense, took out the little savings he had at home and specifically posted trash missions like chopping wood, doing housework, and cleaning roofs for Might Duy and Might Guy to do, making Bai Lu's already not-so-wealthy family situation even worse.
Over these two years, Bai Lu had almost gone from a moderately wealthy family to a pauper, exhausting his fortune to support Might Duy and Might Guy.
Even so, he was once praised by the villagers, who felt that Bai Lu's awareness was truly too high, as he spared no effort to help his companions, worthy of being a perfect seedling inheriting the will of fire.
Even if he had to do it all over again, Bai Lu would still do it.
What kind of trash is money?
Is it a loss to be able to harvest a Kage-level and a Super Kage-level?
Only with Might Duy as a loyal guardian will I feel safe, but where is he right now?
Bai Lu yawned; it was about time to go to school.
He walked directly out of the training woods and strolled around the forest on the outskirts of Konoha Village; he had always done this in the past.
But today, it was a little different.
Hmm? There's actually someone in that place? Bai Lu's expression shifted slightly as he glanced at an inconspicuous small grove of trees.
Inside there was the place where Bai Lu had conducted secret training when he was developing that high-risk jutsu.
The failed development a year ago caused this place to be filled with a certain degree of Radiation clouds, which had always been regarded by Bai Lu as a Forbidden Land; anyone other than him who went in would be affected by nuclear radiation.
Today, Bai Lu intended to come and recover the nuclear radiation.
So early, why would someone happen to appear in this place by such a coincidence...
Bai Lu was silent for a moment, feeling a bit tricky. He pondered for a moment, but finally decided to tentatively approach, and caught a glimpse through the gaps in the trees, seeing...
Uchiha Yi Hui, the biological sister of Uchiha Izumi, who would later be Itachi's lover.
This woman was drenched in sweat while training, breathing heavily; she had clearly been practicing hard for a while. Furthermore, after finishing her training, she took out a boxed lunch and ate it on the spot.
At first glance, it seemed there was no problem.
However, when Bai Lu saw this woman use her dust-covered hands to seemingly inadvertently, but actually deliberately, sprinkle dust into her boxed lunch and eat it in big mouthfuls, he realized it.
This is a ruthless person.
The nuclear radiation scattered in the air, after more than a year of fermentation, actually didn't have much left; the real bulk of it was all buried deep in the soil.
Who?!
Uchiha Yi Hui suddenly turned around, pulled out a kunai, and threw it fiercely.
