Naruto, all the ninja women love me, and Konoha depends on me.

Chapter 018: Poisoning the "Victim"

While Senju Wakama and Zetsu were secretly discussing why this little girl from the Hyuga clan was pretending to be blind.

The "blind" little girl by the stream once again encountered three ninjas from the Hagoromo clan.

Senju Wakama: "…"

It was the same three Hagoromo ninjas from before.

The leader was a burly young man, flanked by a short, stocky young man and a seductive young woman.

Whether their lines were the same, Senju Wakama didn't know, because he hadn't heard what they said the last time either.

But one thing was certain: the location was different, but the outcome was the same another one-versus-three showdown.

The little girl, just as before, acted weak, pitiful, and helpless.

The three Hagoromo ninjas once again ended up looking foolish.

Once again, the fat ninja was beaten until he vomited blood, and the three retreated.

The little girl picked up her cane again, left the spot, and headed to the next wild area.

Senju Wakama still did not reveal himself to the little girl, continuing to track the unfamiliar Hyuga girl in "stealth" mode.

At regular intervals.

The three ninjas would appear menacingly, gang up on the little girl, and then be driven back by her.

Different settings, same characters, same storyline.

Three grown men versus a little girl, with the fat one vomiting blood.

Black Zetsu, clinging to Senju Wakama, thought he had fallen into the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Senju Wakama, on the other hand, was thoroughly entertained.

It was almost like watching a kabuki performance in the capital of the Land of Fire.

Except the actors weren't wearing heavy makeup, and the audience didn't need to buy tickets.

Senju Wakama didn't bother to think deeply about why these four kept putting on this tour "performance."

Some things, if Senju Wakama were to think about them, he wouldn't have a clue.

But…

If Senju Wakama were to take action, he could quickly find the right path in the process.

After growing tired of the repetitive performance of the three versus one.

Senju Wakama took action. He put on his prepared isolation gloves and took out the carefully prepared drugs.

Taking advantage of the new act's conclusion, where one of the three Hagoromo ninjas vomited blood and the other two carried him away.

Senju Wakama quickly moved into "stealth" mode, closing the distance to a range suitable for his "Art of Dexterity," and silently poisoned the "blind girl."

Senju Wakama was extremely cautious, not getting too close.

He used a refined anesthetic he had been saving.

The girl didn't last long before she collapsed.

After she fell, Senju Wakama, still not at ease, administered an additional dose.

He then forced a nearby spectating sparrow to test whether the girl was truly unconscious or faking.

After confirming she was truly unconscious.

Senju Wakama, in "stealth" mode, quickly rushed over, first tying the girl's hands and feet with prepared hemp rope, then hoisting her up and disappearing from the scene in a flash.

After carrying the girl away, Senju Wakama didn't leave immediately. Instead, he tied her to a high tree branch, using pine branches, leaves, and snow to camouflage and hide her.

To prevent the girl from waking up and causing a commotion, Senju Wakama also gagged her with a cloth strip.

Then, Senju Wakama continued to lie in wait from a high vantage point, quietly observing.

Not long after, the three Hagoromo ninjas reappeared in sight.

However, their expressions were off.

The three ninjas cautiously inspected the cane left behind at the scene.

In the end, they acted differently than before, splitting up and leaving in three separate directions.

Seeing this.

Senju Wakama immediately left the unconscious girl tied to the tree.

He, along with Zetsu, stealthily descended from the tree in "stealth" mode and pursued the female ninja among the three.

Senju Wakama had been practicing stealth for a long time and was very familiar with the forest terrain.

The three ninjas splitting up made it easier for Senju Wakama to take them down one by one.

The result was unquestionable; one-on-one, even if Senju Wakama wasn't confident in defeating his opponent, he could always rely on Zetsu.

Senju Wakama quickly tracked down the female Hagoromo ninja. He didn't plan to ask any questions, using the "Art of Dexterity" to silently poison her with a pill made from monkshood extract.

The components of monkshood were too hard to remember, and Senju Wakama had already forgotten them.

But Senju Wakama knew that this was different from other drugs.

Monkshood extract, when used in moderation with other medicinal ingredients, could be a beneficial medicine, but in excessive amounts, it was a true poison.

Senju Wakama had used this poison on the battlefield before, lurking nearby to observe the symptoms of the poisoned.

This toxin caused neurological chaos, numbing pain where it should hurt and causing pain where it shouldn't, muscles refusing to obey, leading to vomiting and diarrhea, and ultimately death from either respiratory paralysis or severe arrhythmia.

The poisoned would die within ten minutes.

After administering the poison.

Senju Wakama continued to lurk nearby, secretly observing the female Hagoromo ninja.

The female ninja didn't notice Senju Wakama, but soon realized she had been poisoned.

She frantically took out her own antidote and consumed it.

But Senju Wakama knew she was doomed.

On the battlefield, other Hagoromo ninjas had done the same, but their antidotes weren't foolproof.

Moreover, even if this woman managed to neutralize the poison and survive.

Senju Wakama would immediately use the "Art of Dexterity" to administer another poison, continuing until she was dead.

Several minutes passed, the antidote failed, and the female ninja perished.

Senju Wakama quickly moved in stealth, setting up a poison trap on the female ninja's body.

Then, Senju Wakama continued to lurk nearby, silently waiting.

Soon, the other two ninjas arrived.

While investigating the cause of the female ninja's death.

One of them touched the poison trap Senju Wakama had set on the female ninja's body and quickly succumbed to the poison.

The other was poisoned by Senju Wakama using the "Art of Dexterity" and didn't last much longer.

The trio was wiped out.

To prevent them from "coming back to life," Senju Wakama used the "Art of Dexterity" to steal one of their internal organs and threw it into a snowdrift.

Senju Wakama didn't waste time greedily looting the bodies, instead focusing on erasing any traces he had left.

Senju Wakama planned to report this incident to his sister upon returning home, having her direct the animals of the Naka River to dispose of the bodies.

Senju Wakama was still a child, and handling corpses was laborious and time-consuming.

If they had died near the river, Senju Wakama could have simply thrown them into the water, but the river was still some distance away.

He had other matters to attend to and couldn't afford to waste time.

After killing the three enemy ninjas, Senju Wakama, like an old horse knowing the way, returned in "stealth" mode to where he had tied up the "victim" girl.

From a distance, the girl was still tied to the high tree branch, motionless.

However…

An indescribable feeling welled up inside him.

Senju Wakama took one look and froze in his "stealth" stance.
