Chapter 67 - Interrogation

!!

After a movement, the black shadow fell to the ground and retreated two steps. Then he stepped forward again, brandishing his sword and attacking Shigeru without stopping.

In the blink of an eye, the two have fought several times.

The moonlight penetrated the room and the two figures continued to shine. The moment they separated, Shigeru instantly formed a seal.

"Hyōton · Tiger Attack!"

Roar!

In an instant, an ice tiger pounced on the Jonin and he was unable to react in time.

The ice tiger grabbed him directly with its two front paws and ran out of the room.

Boom!

A hole was made in the wooden wall, dust flew, and the jounin fell heavily to the ground.

At the same time, Shigeru's figure quickly appeared "Feather Suppression Seal!" The Jonin who fell to the ground wanted to get up to resist, but Shigeru directly pressed his palm on his chest, and a black feathery pattern instantly covered the jounin's body.

"Ah…"

The jounin instantly curled up like a dead shrimp, hugging his belly and let out a low cry.

Shigeru, who was standing next to him, reached out his hand, took out a piece of steel wire and tied the Jonin up.

"Made!"

Shigeru looked at the tied up jounin and clapped, then turned to deal with the other two jounin.

Since using ninjutsu will cause chakra fluctuations, which can easily arouse the vigilance of ninjas, when dealing with the first two jounin, he avoided using ninjutsu and used the most primitive method to stun them.

Now that he has dealt with these three jonins, he naturally no longer has to worry about using ninjutsu. He can go back and seal the chakra of the other two jonins first.

When he opened the door, the Jonin was still lying in bed. Next to him was a woman whose body was reflected in the soft moonlight.

The loud noise outside the house seemed to have woken the woman up, but when Shigeru entered, she didn't react at all. She no longer rolled her eyes, but stared lifelessly at the ceiling.

"Oh…"

Looking at the woman who had no desire to live, Shigeru sighed helplessly, hesitated for a moment, and then drew his sword and stretched it forward.

!!

The tip of the sword was stained with blood. Even before she died, the woman did not react at all. Her body only trembled instinctively. Her heart must have died a long time ago.

Shaking the blood off the knife and onto the ground, Shigeru reached out to grab the Jonin's hair and forcefully lifted him up.

"Feathered Suppression Seal!"

The chakra-filled palm pressed directly on the jounin's chest, and a scream suddenly rang out.

"Ah…"

Shigeru ignored his screams and grabbed the jounin by the hair and dragged him out of the house.

The first sealed jounin had already recovered. Despite the pain in his body, he still struggled to sit up, hatred and fear on his face. "You… who are you?"

Shigeru ignored him, after throwing the Jonin in his hand into the open space next to him, he turned around and walked into another room.

With a scream, another jounin was dragged by Shigeru's hair.

Throwing the three people into the open space, Shigeru sat on the wooden block used to chop firewood next to him "Tell me about your identities."

Shigeru's gaze swept over the three of them and they avoided eye contact, not daring to look at Shigeru or speak.

Seeing that no one said anything, Shigeru smiled, "Haha, it's okay, your mouth is quite strong."

After saying that, Shigeru stood up and picked up an axe from the ground.

This axe looked like it hadn't been used for a long time. The blade was covered in rust and wasn't even sharpened.

With this axe, not only can you chop good firewood, it would probably be difficult to cut even a piece of rotten wood.

"It's good to be tough, I like to talk tough."

Hefting the enchanted axe in his hand, Shigeru walked towards the naked jounin on the left and untied the cables on all three of them at the same time.

Anyway, the chakra of these three guys has been sealed. Even if they break free from their bonds, they won't be able to resist.

"W-what do you want to do?"

Seeing the young man in front of him looking at his hands and feet, the Jonin's voice trembled.

"I won't cut off your head, I'll cut off your ankles."

As he said this, Shigeru smiled and grazed the Jonin's ankles with the axe.

Just by rubbing it back and forth twice, the skin on the jounin's ankles was scraped off.

"Wait! I'll talk! I'll talk!"

The cold, rough touch on his feet instantly scared the Jonin.

He was a ninja, if he didn't have legs, wouldn't he be useless?

Shigeru glared at him, "Shut up, don't talk!"

The next second, Shigeru swung his axe and cut it down.

"Ahhhhhgggggh!" Suddenly a heart-wrenching scream was heard.

Under the night sky, in the silent mountain village, this scream seemed particularly terrifying.

"Hey, this axe won't work." Shigeru pursed his lips.

This axe was really blunt. With one blow, it didn't even cut the ankle.

Saying that, Shigeru swung the axe again and swung it down.

!!

Accompanied by screams, under Shigeru's full blow, the jounin's ankle cartilage was directly cut off, and now there are only a few tendons on the ankle connecting the broken places.

"This axe is really difficult to use."

Shaking the blood off the axe, Shigeru turned his attention to the jounin beside him.

"Don't hurt me, I'll talk! I'll talk!"

Seeing that boy actually looking at him, the Jonin became scared and took two steps back, trying to get away from him.

Seeing this, Shigeru waved his axe and said, "Go ahead and speak."

"We are wandering ninjas, specialized in robbing lone ninjas and ordinary people. We occupied this village a month ago."

Shigeru listened. He nodded. No wonder these three jounin were so weak. They turned out to be wandering ninja, which made sense.

Wandering ninjas have no support and only enter the path of ninja by chance. Therefore, compared to family ninjas, they do not have a good heritage or teachings.

Even if you become a chuunin or jounin by luck, you only have the corresponding chakra, but you don't have powerful ninjutsu or corresponding strength.

Therefore, this type of ninja is usually weaker than normal ninjas and is easier to deal with. If he were a jounin of a clan, Shigeru probably wouldn't be able to succeed so easily.

"Continue." Shigeru looked at the other party and said.

"Ahhhgg…"

The jounin with his foot missing was still moaning uncontrollably beside him.

Shigeru slashed the opponent's neck with his backhand axe "Please, can you shut up!"

Pfff!

Blood gushed forth like a fountain.

The jounin fell to the ground, clutching his neck, his eyes bulging. He opened his mouth and tried to breathe, but the air escaped through his neck, so he could only emit bursts of inexplicable noises.

"Ho…ho…"

Ignoring the sounds of fighting beside him, Shigeru once again focused his attention on the jounin beside him "No one will bother you now, continue."

"Gulp..."

The Jonin's pupils shrank slightly and he gulped unconsciously. Is this kid a demon? He killed people without blinking.

However, seeing the expressionless look on Shigeru's face, he didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly opened his mouth and said, "After we reach this village..."
