Li Zhenwu remained calm but gradually adjusted his body, ready to spring into action at any time.
He veered off the main road and entered a narrow alley.
The Hidden Cloud Ninja Yunshui continued to follow Li Zhenwu, watching his unusual tail sway slightly and thinking to himself how easy this task was, dealing only with a three-year-old child.
Seeing Li Zhenwu suddenly turn into a small alley, Yunshui assumed he was heading home, so he hurried to close the gap.
However, just as he stepped onto the path, a sharp gust of wind suddenly rushed past him.
Yunshui was startled but immediately formed hand seals.
*Boom!*
His figure instantly vanished, leaving only a piece of wood behind.
"Substitution Jutsu," Li Zhenwu recognized the technique and couldn't help but sigh; for someone like him, certain jutsus seemed almost like cheating.
Yunshui reappeared about five meters ahead of Li Zhenwu, astonished that a three-year-old child could pose such a pressing sense of danger.
"Was that you who just attacked me, you little brat?" Yunshui exclaimed, unable to comprehend how a mere child could threaten him.
"Who else could it be?" Li Zhenwu shot back, gazing at the ninja clad in black, his face covered.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?"
"Haha, I…" Yunshui smirked darkly, about to say, 'I'm not going to tell you,' but by the time he got out the word 'I,' Li Zhenwu had already moved.
Li Zhenwu's small frame lunged forward like a cannonball, and only then did he shout, "Forget it, I don't care who you are; let's fight first!"
Noticing that the cloaked ninja was hastily evading him and seemed somewhat unsteady when he used the substitution technique, Li Zhenwu concluded that this was likely only a low-level ninja.
Just right, Li Zhenwu's system mission required a low-level ninja.
Thus, he decided to keep things straightforward: he would defeat this opponent first to complete his mission!
"This little brat is fast! Faster than most ninjas!" Yunshui thought, surprised. However, facing Li Zhenwu, he wasn't about to hesitate anymore; his eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Good, capturing such a prodigious little demon would only increase his value!"
With a push from his feet, Yunshui prepared to engage using taijutsu, intending to take down Li Zhenwu.
The battle was about to begin!
