During the day, he accompanied Pang Rizuo to play ninja games. Finally, it was quiet at night.
"It's so tiring. That cunning guy, he actually left such a troublesome kid to us." Sitting in the corridor, Aoyama cursed angrily.
However, someone who was reading leisurely obviously couldn't accept this sincere greeting.
"Aoyama -sama, do you want to rest first? Haku and I will keep watch tonight?" Izu suggested in a low voice. Recently, Izu had indeed changed a lot. For example, she would occasionally smile and chat for a while. She wasn't like when she first moved into Tsuka's house. She was cold and only knew how to give orders and tasks.
"No need. The three of us will take turns to keep watch. Izu, you go to sleep first. Haku will be on the first shift, I'll be on the second shift, and you'll be on the last shift. Haku, is that okay?" Aoyama asked.
"No problem. But Aoyama -sama, I'll be on the second shift." Haku said in a low voice. The first and third shifts were able to sleep longer, but the second shift was very uncomfortable. They couldn't even sleep properly. It was the most tiring.
"Don't worry about me. I'm going to sleep. Izu, you should go to sleep too. It's not good for your skin if you don't sleep well." Aoyama smiled and said a few words. He directly left and went to the guest room prepared for them. It was directly next to Pang Rizuo's bedroom.
Lying on the bed, Aoyama didn't immediately fall asleep. Instead, he sank his consciousness into Hyorinmaru. The so-called sleep was to relieve the mental fatigue. In other words, it was to relax the soul.
While Moonlight was "talking" with Hyorinmaru, it could strengthen his soul power, and at the same time, it could reduce his mental fatigue. However, this was limited, and sleep was still necessary. Sleep was irreplaceable when it came to relaxing one's mind, but it only reduced the need for sleep.
In other words, if an ordinary person needed eight hours of sleep, Aoyama only needed three or four hours of sleep. Otherwise, Aoyama wouldn't have the energy to cultivate at night.
Time passed quickly. Aoyama woke up before the first half of the night. She went out to wash her face with cold water and was completely awake. Haku stood still at Banrizuo's door, vigilantly watching the surroundings.
"Aoyama -sama, it isn't time to change shifts yet, right? Why are you awake? "Aoyama didn't hide her aura when she came out, so Haku naturally noticed it.
"It's not like you don't know that I don't need much sleep. Three hours is enough. Alright, go and sleep. Leave the rest to me." Aoyama quickly began to chase him away.
Haku obediently got up and left. Since Aoyama -sama said that he was fine, then there was no need for him to worry about anything else. Besides, he was indeed tired, so there was no point in forcing himself.
Seeing Haku enter the room, Aoyama sat down and hugged Hyorinmaru. Both of his hands quickly formed hand seals and used the sensing technique that he learned from Kaze Yamamoto. However, Aoyama wasn't very talented in this area. Even if his soul was strong enough, he was still half-baked.
Not only was his sensing range small, but his accuracy was also very low. He could only barely detect the traces of large people or animals. Aoyama couldn't sense any smaller animals.
"Is it still not working? What's the problem? " Aoyama scratched his head and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. The cold moonlight poured onto the ground like water.
He was intoxicated as he looked at the bamboo forest that was covered with silver gauze, the flowers that were dyed with silver powder, and the sparkling stream that was illuminated by the silver light. Even the white stone path was plated with a faint layer of silver light.
"It's so beautiful." He couldn't help but murmur. The silver moon tilted, and the faint light shone on Aoyama and Hyorinmaru.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp sound was heard, and Hyorinmaru was instantly unsheathed. The snow-white blade shone brightly under the moonlight. Aoyama swung Hyorinmaru to hit the kunai that was flying towards him.
"This is a warning. If you don't hand over the money tomorrow, we will take the kid's life. Bang Jiuzhu is in the palace, think carefully. Is money more important than your son's life? We don't care about these Kiba ninjas."
A loud voice was heard, and Azusa He rushed out in an instant.
"Go and protect the kid, I'll deal with this." Aoyama swung Hyorinmaru and rushed forward. At the same time, he began to use his Seal. "Sit in the frost, Hyorinmaru."
On the high wall, two figures, one tall and one short, smiled coldly at Aoyama. They quickly formed hand seals and shouted: "Earth Release: Ant Hell."
In an instant, the ground below collapsed, and the soil became soft, sinking like a funnel. Moreover, the soil spun rapidly, pulling and swallowing everything it came into contact with.
Aoyama jumped up the moment the soil softened, and at the same time, he swung Hyorinmaru to create a huge icicle. Aoyama stepped on the icicle and jumped up again. When he looked back, he saw the icicle sinking rapidly and being swallowed by the soil whirlpool.
However, Aoyama had already jumped out of the attack range of the Ant Hell. He looked at the two on the high wall and quickly kicked out with both legs. "Rankyaku, Wind Blade."
However, the wind blades did not cause any damage to the two except for tearing their clothes. They only made a clanging sound as if they had hit a piece of steel.
"Kiba kid, see you next time." The two did not fight back. After saying that, their bodies sank rapidly and disappeared into the soil. Compared to Azusa's stealth, their speed was much faster.
"Rankyaku, Red Line."
The thin wind blade created a deep trench on the ground, but the other party had already disappeared. His speed was abnormally fast.
"Zuo, Zuo, are you okay?" A panicked voice sounded, and a large group of people ran over. Bang Jiuzhu was at the front, followed by a few chunins from the Moonlight Clan. Behind them was a group of bodyguards in black.
As soon as they saw Bang Rizuo being protected by Azusa, they immediately rushed up and hugged him in their arms.
Qian Yu saw the huge soil whirlpool in the courtyard, and half of the icicle protruding from it. Aoyama was also standing on the wall.
"How is it, do you have any clues?" Qian Yu asked as he landed beside Aoyama.
"The enemy is the Rock Ninjas. The two of them should be Jonin level, and their stealth is quite good. They left a threat that if they don't hand over the money tomorrow, they will take Bang Rizuo's life." Aoyama said quickly.
Noticing Aoyama's disgust towards the Rock, Qian Yu didn't say anything. He had read about Aoyama's parents from the files. They died at the hands of the Rock Ninjas. No wonder Aoyama hated the Rock, but he didn't have a good impression of them either.
"Sure enough, it's the Rock Ninjas. I have already talked with the Jonin of the Moonlight Clan. There should be two of them, and both of them should be Jonins. This is really a big deal." Qian Yu's eyes became gloomy. This task was beyond the scope of a B-level task. It was definitely an A-level task.
