LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 123: Returning to the place from which he previously fled
The clan meeting regarding Hagoromo Kazuma was held in the morning, and the ninja army meeting was held around three in the afternoon.
After more than four hours of running, at around seven in the evening, the two finally arrived not far from the outskirts of the Shimura clan's territory.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings around him, Shigeru couldn't help but sigh, things in the world are impermanent.
A few years ago, the Hagoromo clan was besieged by the Senju, Sarutobi and Shimura clans. As a last resort, he took great risks and brought two more jounin, the young Zetō and Mizuki, to carry out a surprise attack on the Shimura clan.
But still, the two jounin died, and even he, Zetō, and Mizuki almost failed to return.
If it weren't for Zenitsu's timely support, the angry Shimura Nesuke could have killed all three of them.
Several years have passed now and things have changed.
He still remembered that when he first evacuated, he made an oath to Shimura Nesuke to destroy the Shimura clan.
Now that he has come to fulfill his promise, he doesn't know what Nesuke Shimura's reaction will be after seeing him.
"Young Patriarch?"
Seeing Shigeru stop and stand there in a trance, Zenitsu gave him a puzzled look.
After coming back to his senses, Shigeru chuckled, "A few years ago, Zetō, Mizuki and I were chased by Shimura Nesuke.
Now I've come back to take revenge, but it's a pity that Mizuki and Zetō couldn't come with us, otherwise, it would be quite interesting for the three of us to revisit this place."
Hearing this, Zenitsu smiled, "There's no way, Zetō and Mizuki are far less powerful than the young clan leader, if they come, they'll only stop us."
What Zenitsu said is true, because he himself has the strength of a clan leader.
As for Shigeru, although his chakra has not reached the level of a clan leader and is only at the level of a top elite jounin, with the powerful ninjutsu he has developed, he is not weak at all even against the clan leader level.
But Zetō and Mizuki, although their strength is very good among the younger generation, are only at the elite jounin level. It is still very unrealistic to sneak attack Shimura Nesuke, a powerful clan leader.
"That's right." Shigeru nodded.
Then, he said solemnly, "The next step is to kill the patrols outside the Shimura clan's territory and then find an opportunity to kill Shimura Nesuke."
As long as Shimura Nesuke can be killed this time, the remaining Shimura clan will not be able to stop them.
When the armies of the Hagoromo and Yuhi clans arrive, the Shimura clan will be exterminated.
Zenitsu also had a serious look on his face "Young patriarch, you have outstanding sensory abilities, so I will let you take command from now on."
Shigeru didn't speak, but began to act directly.
He kept his eyes slightly closed and two fingers raised.
"Follow me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two figures disappeared from the spot instantly.
….
!!
There was a flash of frost.
A group of Shimura ninja were patrolling, and Shigeru appeared beside them instantly "Hyōton: Cold Moon Frost Flower!"
A gust of cold air floated out, and several Shimura ninjas were about to shout that the enemy was attacking, but the cold air blew past and suddenly, their bodies felt stiff and it was very difficult to even move.
After about two or three seconds, this group of Shimura ninjas completely turned into several ice sculptures.
Cold Moon Frost Flower is a ninjutsu that Shigeru mastered after developing the Kingdom of Ice and Snow.
This move was not developed by him, but was collected by the Hagoromo clan. Seeing that it was very practical, Shigeru learned it.
A few seconds later, a figure fell next to Shigeru "Young Patriarch, your speed is getting faster and faster."
Shigeru smiled, "Practice makes perfect."
Since learning Ice Realm and Ice Jump, Shigeru relied on the system to increase the power of this move for a long time.
It wasn't until over two years ago, after developing the Ice and Snow Kingdom, that he relied on his own practice to further develop the Ice Jump spatial ninjutsu.
Now, after several years of practice, he can get rid of the shackles of the Ice Realm and directly use the ice jump move.
Unfortunately, without the aid of the system, space ninjutsu is extremely difficult to master, so Shigeru's newly developed ice jump still has major flaws.
For example, after getting rid of the Ice Kingdom, Hagoromo Shigeru must find a new means if he wants to use Ice Jump.
And Shigeru's new medium is the omnipresent element of ice in nature.
The world is made up of various elements, but these elements are distributed extremely unevenly.
Therefore, Shigeru's new ice jump was affected by the environment.
In an ordinary place, 500 meters away, Hagoromo Shigeru can sense the ice element in nature in two or three seconds and then jump.
If you go to a place with abundant ice elements like Snow Country, you can feel it in less than a second.
But if you go to a large desert like the Kingdom of Wind, it might take Shigeru six or seven seconds to perceive the ice element in nature.
Therefore, Shigeru's new Ice Jump no longer has a fixed cooldown of one second. Its cooldown now fluctuates. If it is less than one second, it will take six or seven seconds longer.
In a climate like Tierra del Fuego, if Hagoromo Shigeru wants to use Ice Jump, the cooldown time will be about two to three seconds.
This seems to be a step back compared to the previous ice jumping, but after getting rid of the shackles of the Ice Kingdom, and completely turning ice jumping into his own thing, as long as Shigeru can continue to practice and become stronger, the limitations of ice jumping will become smaller and smaller.
Until one day in the future, appearing in any corner of the world will no longer be a fantasy.
Looking at the ice sculptures surrounding him, Shigeru said in a deep voice, "There are more and more Shimura ninjas in front of us. We have to be careful."
Compared to when Shigeru arrived for a surprise attack a few years ago, the current Shimura clan's vigilance level has increased by more than one level, so they must be more careful this time.
Otherwise, if the enemy is alerted, the purpose of the sneak attack will be lost.
Zenitsu nodded.
Shigeru then sank several ice sculptures into the ground and then disappeared again.
In the mountains and forests, figures like ice ghosts flickered from time to time, and the ninjas patrolling east of the Shimura clan kept turning into ice sculptures and sinking into the ground.
As time passed, the number of Shimura ninja patrolling around him gradually decreased.
Finally, two figures appeared not far from the outskirts of the Shimura clan.
