After a month, I visited many cities and sampled the culture and food of this world, and I must admit that the food here is incredibly delicious. They cook spirit beasts, and the taste is amazing and nourishing for the body.
However, the problem is that it is expensive. Fortunately, I committed theft, I mean, borrowed some money.
As for my progress in training, I am now at level 19 of the Spirit Masters. I am considering going to the Star Forest once I reach level 20. Regarding the ninja jutsu, I have managed to perform the "Fire Extinguishing Cannon" technique, but it's not quite like in my previous life, probably due to the weakness of my spirit power or its dual quality. Spirit power can be compared to chakra, but it's enough to kill the Spirit Masters up to level 30 if they are not cautious.
I am now in the capital, wandering and thinking about killing some of the young dukes and disguising myself as one of them. But after some thought, I decided to ignore the idea because, apart from being troublesome and not very useful, I also find it somewhat despicable.
Now, perhaps I should focus on perfecting the Disguise Technique. In my previous life, I worked as an assassin on many missions and killed many important figures in the Sand Village. Perhaps this was why they sent nine Jonin ninjas. The main reason for my success in assassinations was the Disguise Technique. I developed it from a B-rank technique to A-rank one, which is not easy. The new technique is called "Illusionary Transformation," and it's close to S-rank.
I remember many people tried to learn it, but I refused because I wanted it for my clan or my students, and if they were not worthy, I would give it to the family. Unfortunately, I passed away before I could pass it on. When I think about it, I feel sad because nothing is more important than leaving a legacy.
What makes this technique special is that no one can reveal it, not even the Sharingan nor the shadow; only the Byakugan can detect it, which is why it is not classified as an S-rank technique.
Returning to the present, the reason I am thinking about disguising myself as a duke's child is my need for an identity before speaking with Dougo Bu, as I need his permission before going to the Medicine Garden.
I want to utilize it better instead of leaving it for Tang San. I also want to use it early because my body is small and it will provide me with greater benefits.
In exchange, I will heal his body, although I do not know much about healing except what Tsunade taught me. If I succeed, it will be better; if I fail, I will tell him about Tang San's flawed method.
So I need an identity. Without an identity, I might not be qualified to negotiate. Dougo Bu might have an honest character in the story, but I'm not willing to bet my life on it. However, after reconsidering the idea of disguising myself as a duke's child, it's better to find something else that serves as a deterrent.
POV: Qian Ren Xue
As I sat by the palace window, sipping tea and thinking about that boy, I requested a report on his condition. Three days have passed, so I don't understand why it's delayed. I don't know why I'm thinking about him, maybe because of his eyes or because he seems to be my age. However, he's crucial in assassination, and now when I think about it, I feel better and don't think about that woman, damn her. I am her daughter, and she treats me this way. I saw her interaction with Liu Lina; it was good.
"Young master, I've brought the information."
Suddenly, I heard Uncle You's voice from behind me.
"Hmm, let me see. But why the delay?"
He replied, "Young master, look at the report, and you'll understand."
"Mm, he's six years old, his spirit... huh!" I was surprised suddenly.
His small his age or his complete innate spirit power did not surprise me, but because all the information about his childhood was missing and unknown. Information only starts from age five, and before that, there was no trace of him we heard about.
"Are you sure about this?"
"Yes, we searched all nearby villages and prepared a photo, but no one recognized him except someone who said he spoke to him. The child asked some questions about the surrounding areas and some strange questions like 'Which empire are we in?' and so on. He didn't mention all of them, and when he spoke about the Sacred Spirit Village, the child thought. After a while, he asked him to point it out to him." Uncle, you replied.
"Mm, interesting. Maybe he has amnesia or is not from this area. What do you think, Uncle?"
"I don't know, but my lady, you need to make a decision. Do you want to invite them to the Spirit Hall? If not, it might be better to kill him; it's better than him becoming a threat in the future."
"You seem to have a high opinion of him. Do you think he will become a Spirit Douluo or even a title in the future?"
"Yes, my lady, with his talent. If he is not killed along the way, it's only a matter of time before he becomes a Douluo title."
"Well, the matter is decided. Since his talent is good, I will invite him and take him with me. He might help me with my mission, and I will also observe him and see his thoughts." She said with a smile.
"Hmph, do you think I don't see your thoughts? You just want a playmate and don't want to kill him, either."
"Oh, you discovered me." She said with a half-smile.
He added, "Well, the matter is decided, but I will wait for two months and send someone to observe him one last time to see if he is contacting any major powers."
"Alright, as you wish." Qian Renxue understood why he said that; he might become a spy if we neglect the matter, so she didn't prevent it.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Enlil, he went to a fancy restaurant to eat and then rented a room at an inn to practice the Illusionary Transformation technique, as renting houses is very expensive in the capital.
Suddenly, a girl with pink hair entered, frowning, and behind her were some people who seemed to be guards.
Seeing the reserved tables, she headed towards me. I don't know why, maybe because I look like a child sitting alone.
But the guards spoke to her: "Miss, how about clearing some seats?"
"No need," she replied.
**But Miss, before they could finish talking, she ignored them and headed towards a table.
"Oh, can I eat with you? As you can see, there's no place, and you're sitting alone."
I raised my head, looked at her, and said, "No problem, you can sit as I'm alone and not expecting anyone, and it's nice to have a beautiful woman as you join me at the table."
"Thank you," she said with a happy smile and then simply sat down.
The guards looked at me angrily, but after seeing that their lady didn't mind, they ignored it but started focusing on every move I made.
I ignored them, and then the waiter came, and I ordered food. While waiting, she looked at me and said, "You look good, too."
Although I look like a child, I inherited my family's beauty, and after remembering how I looked in my previous life, I thought I would become very beautiful, especially without scars on my face. So I replied, "Thank you."
"Which family are you from, and what is your name?" She asked after seeing that I didn't look like an ordinary person.
"Well, my name is Uchiha Enlil from the Uchiha family."
"I haven't heard of it. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend," she quickly replied.
"It's okay, as I am the only one in it, but in the future, I will make this name known all over the world."
"Good luck then," she said, not believing I could achieve that, and I don't blame her; who would believe such words from a child?
"So, what's your name?" I wanted to confirm the name in my mind because her appearance and the guards behind her reminded me of a character in the story.
"Oh, sorry, my name is Ning Rongrong," she said quickly, embarrassed that she forgot to introduce herself.
"Oh, so, Lady Ning Rongrong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan," I said with feigned astonishment.
"Yes, it seems you know me just by my name. Are you a Spirit Master?" She asked with curiosity, as few people would recognize her just by her name.
"Yes, I was on a journey, but obviously, I couldn't find a place in the hotel or restaurant, so I decided to sit here."
Meanwhile, the food arrived, and we chatted during the meal. Her conversation was enjoyable and smooth, which made me enjoy the time we spent together. She showed me her fighting spirit, so I showed her mine as well. My unique fighting spirit shocked her and admired it. After some conversation, she left the restaurant first.
As the meeting ended, I headed to my hotel and began to think about the importance of relationships in this new world and how they might affect my journey and help me achieve my goals.
