Chapter 144 - Chapter 144: The Shinigami's Sigh

Akatsuki.

Was indeed a good place with unity and friendship.

The current Akatsuki, didn't have a large territory.

But because there weren't many members, Qingchuan had quite a bit of private space.

Occasionally, the members of Akatsuki would come and visit, and give him some gifts.

For example, a small bamboo tube that Qingchuan was playing with in his hand.

This was a meeting gift from Sasori, and it contained hundreds of poisoned senbon, that could turn a person into a hedgehog in minutes…

Qingchuan had symbolically refused it many times before he accepted it.

He heard that Sasori had also received a lot of research funding from Konan because of this.

This made Qingchuan change his impression of this organization again.

Unity and friendship.

Mutual assistance.

No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like he had entered a fake Akatsuki.

However.

On the third day of joining Akatsuki.

He finally ushered in an incident that made Qingchuan feel normal.

A combat test.

On the two sides of a small stream.

Konan and Qingchuan, stood opposite each other.

"Attack me in the way you're most proficient in, Qingchuan."

Konan's voice was still so cold, but she obviously had some gentleness towards the girl in front of her.

Pieces of paper fluttered around her.

But this time, they weren't explosive tags, but proper pieces of paper.

"Although this is just a Paper Clone, it still has half of my main body's strength."

"Defeat me, and you can become a formal Akatsuki member."

Qingchuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Obviously.

Konan was still somewhat curious about the process of him killing Danzo.

That was normal.

So far, besides using Hadō, he had only shown Konan his ability to step on the air and fly.

It was normal for Konan to have doubts about his strength.

"Then… I'll start?"

"Konan-nee?"

Qingchuan said, and also silently drew his katana.

"Mm."

Konan was just about to nod to signal to start.

But in the next moment, Konan's eyes suddenly changed!

She saw that the girl in front of her suddenly disappeared, and the speed was so fast, that she had directly disappeared on the field!

"Flash Step eh… as expected."

That Qingchuan could fly, wasn't anything strange to Konan.

The ninja world was big. There was even a member who was from the same era as the First Hokage.

In Konan's judgment.

Flash Step, should be this girl's most proficient ability.

However.

"Your intention is too obvious, Qingchuan."

She raised her hand without looking back.

In an instant, the surrounding paper began to rotate frantically, and turned into kunai, directly rushing towards Konan's back!

And Qingchuan's figure, also appeared with it.

His expression looked somewhat helpless.

Adapting to the Shinigami Form, would probably still take some time.

And now, using Flash Step, was really too fast.

Qingchuan even suspected that he could win with a single charge!

But obviously, doing so wasn't appropriate.

Moreover, he also wanted to adapt to his body as soon as possible through combat.

The scarlet in his eyes appeared again, and the three tomoe, completely locked onto the paper kunai.

In the next moment, the Senbonzakura in his hand turned into afterimages, Qingchuan's speed of advancement didn't fall, and these countless kunai, were also divided in two in these afterimages…

"Her swordsmanship, is also not bad."

A look of satisfaction, flashed in Konan's eyes.

The girl's katana, was obviously not just for looks.

However, if it was just like this…

It was far from enough.

"Show me the power you used to kill Danzo and the Root, Qingchuan."

Konan said, and her body also gradually floated into the air, and the paper around her suddenly became more numerous.

"If it's just like this, it's not enough to defeat my clone."

The cold voice, made Qingchuan's eyebrows wrinkle.

He always felt that Konan in front of him, was misunderstanding something.

Although killing Danzo hadn't used much strength, it relied more on wisdom, courage, and familiarity with Danzo.

But behind Danzo, there was a large group of subordinates standing at the time.

What's more.

That Comrade Danzo, his own strength wasn't weak either.

Qingchuan felt that he might have been underestimated.

And the fact… was indeed like that.

In Akatsuki's eyes.

The difficulty of killing Danzo, was no more than how to break through Konoha's defenses along with it.

Danzo… was already old.

Strength and the like, was no longer important.

If this incident had happened to a ninja outside of Konoha.

Perhaps, there would be a higher assessment of the girl's strength.

But after all. The girl was from Konoha.

Assassinating an Elder, the difficulty, wasn't really that great.

Qingchuan finally stopped.

He also floated in the air, and looked at Konan, who was preparing to launch an attack, and thought for a while.

If he only used Shikai.

He should, be able to give Konan a more reliable understanding, right?

Qingchuan was now somewhat tangled.

After all.

He had over sixty instant-cast Hadō, over sixty instant-cast Bakudō, and dozens of high-level Hadō and Bakudō that could be used with a slight mobilization of spiritual power…

Really, it was hard to weigh them…

But at this time.

Konan's attack, also seemed to be about to be launched.

"Your openings are too big, Qingchuan."

With a serious instruction, the paper that filled the sky turned into a rain of kunai, heading straight for the girl!

Qingchuan raised his eyebrows.

"Then… okay."

He raised his katana somewhat helplessly.

Qingchuan, still chose the safest move.

This was the move he used the most, and had the most control over.

"Scatter, Senbonzakura."

His voice was ethereal with helplessness, after obtaining the Shinigami Form, Qingchuan's voice would have an extra ethereal feeling when mobilizing spiritual power.

It was like.

The Shinigami's Sigh.

The katana instantly turned into a sky full of cherry blossoms!

In Konan's shocked eyes, that sea of flowers, came into contact with the rain of kunai, and without any confrontation, it instantly stirred it to pieces!

And then, it actually surged to her in an instant!

Konan hadn't even been able to react!

The battle… had already ended.

"Konan-nee. Danzo, didn't get to see this move."

The girl's voice, disappeared with the sea of flowers, and appeared in front of Konan's Paper Clone.

That katana that had reappeared, was already on Konan's neck without her knowing.

"Danzo… died like this."

The katana stopped speaking.

The Paper Clone, immediately dissipated.
