------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lush and dense trees stood tall in this forest, with sunlight struggling to penetrate and bring a ray of vitality.

At this moment, several voices could be heard swiftly resounding.

"Swish!" "Swish!"

On the way, Shimura and Mito maintained their fast pace, seemingly unconcerned about Sousuke following behind.

And behind her, Sousuke wore a relaxed smile, keeping up with her without falling behind.

Glancing lightly at Sousuke behind her, seeing his ease and contentment, it surprised and annoyed Shimura.

This brat can actually keep up with my speed!

Let's see how long you can keep up!

Determined in her heart, Shimura was resolved to show Sousuke her prowess.

Neither of them spoke or communicated.

Suddenly, Shimura's speed increased again. In front of Sousuke, her slender figure seemed to vanish with a few rapid jumps in this dense forest.

And Sousuke, with a calm and amiable expression, followed closely behind her, showing a slight expression of helplessness.

This kid seems to have some opinions about me! At this rate, she might leave me behind before we even reach the city ahead. No, this won't do. I need to come up with a plan!

While thinking this, Sousuke contemplated how to catch up to Shimura ahead.

If it was the speed from before, he could barely keep up. But now, Shimura was seriously advancing at a pace that he struggled to match.

Suddenly, a good idea appeared in Sousuke's mind.

A trace of excitement flickered in his eyes beneath his glasses.

Perhaps it was time to try that footwork again. If he could master and adapt to it on this mission, it would be an excellent way to enhance his strength.

With that in mind, Sousuke stopped in his tracks, carefully observing the direction Shimura disappeared.

His gaze became slightly calm and composed.

Slowly, a thin layer of chakra emerged on Sousuke's body, like a cicada's shell, adhering to his surface.

There was no choice. Shunpo was a high-level footwork achieved through instant spatial stepping at an ultra-high frequency, enabling super-speed movement in space!

The requirements for Shunpo were naturally quite demanding: robust physical fitness and ultra-high-frequency instant spatial stepping.

As a still underage individual, Sousuke's body couldn't handle this intensity, so he used chakra to maintain a thin protective layer on his body!

Of course, this precise and delicate chakra manipulation was enough to make others stop in their tracks!

Sousuke stood on a tree branch, his body slightly sinking, and it seemed that his legs began to be enveloped in chakra.

Shunpo!!

Suddenly, his figure disappeared in the air!

The location where he had been standing still retained the afterimage of his body!

It wasn't until his figure completely vanished that the wind caused by high-speed movement suddenly picked up, causing the leaves on the trees to sway vigorously!

"Swish, swish!" "Swish, swish!"

In his state of Shunpo, Sousuke was like teleporting!

Continuously moving forward!

His figure suddenly appeared on one tree branch, but before it fully solidified, it appeared on another branch, with afterimages constantly appearing and disappearing!

Disappearing once again!

However, Sousuke was also enduring immense pressure!

Maintaining the thin chakra layer on his body's surface with all his strength!

Although Sousuke could achieve an extremely high-speed movement using Shunpo!

This speed still placed a tremendous burden on his internal organs.

And in this high-speed movement, he could only react flexibly relying on his learned Kidō, his dynamic vision unable to track the scenery in front of him!

In this way, while continuously moving forward!

Sousuke gradually caught up with the figure of Hannya in front.

Emi Shimura had already slowed down her speed at this point and was moving forward slowly, looking relaxed and content.

She just wanted to teach Sousuke a lesson, so after leaving him behind, she slowed down her pace, waiting for him at a leisurely pace.

In her mind, Sousuke would have to chase for at least half an hour to catch up to this point.

Thinking about that always smiling face, under the mask, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"You brat, always wearing that smile as if you don't care about anything, let's see if you can still smile this time!"

However, the sudden sound from behind shocked her!

"Ha, I finally caught up to you, Hannya."

The sudden appearance of the voice greatly surprised Emi Shimura! With the arrival of the voice, a gust of wind suddenly blew!

Emi Shimura turned around in astonishment, looking at the figure with a white divine robe fluttering in the wind, feeling an unprecedented shock!

He actually caught up! But he's just a nine-year-old child! How could he catch up!!! Could it be! Is he truly a super genius!!

"You... you actually caught up... How is that possible?" Emi Shimura stammered in disbelief, her face filled with incredulity.

Upon hearing her words, Sousuke gently wiped away the sweat on his forehead and smiled again.

"In order to catch up to you as soon as possible, I also consumed a large amount of chakra. But I finally confirmed one thing, this high-frequency footwork seems to be comparable to the Body Flicker Technique."

Upon hearing his words, Emi Shimura was puzzled about what kind of footwork he was referring to!

"You mean this!!? Could it be!! You used a certain footwork to catch up to me! How is it possible to have such footwork!"

Sousuke smiled again in response, a subtle light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, a footwork I came up with myself. I call it Shunpo. I tested it today, and the speed it can achieve is quite good."

Hearing Sousuke's words, Emi Shimura's first thought was disbelief, but the facts seemed to be right in front of her, leaving her with no choice but to believe.

"Shun... Shunpo!? Did you create it yourself?"

She asked hesitantly and slowly after getting Sousuke's precise answer!

This statement almost left her speechless!

A nine-year-old boy!

Actually created a physical technique footwork that rivals the advanced ninjutsu Body Flicker Technique!

No one would believe it no matter who it was!!

This guy! No wonder he was chosen by Uncle to be his disciple! Could it be that this guy is truly an undisputed genius!!

At this point, Emi Shimura was at a loss for what to do, thinking to herself that she must tell Uncle about this when they return to the village and let him handle it.

Thinking back to how she had wanted to witness this guy's joke just before, Emi Shimura's gaze towards Sousuke couldn't help but become extremely complicated!

On their way, both of them had their own thoughts and didn't continue to communicate.

Sousuke still had a smile on his face, but no one knew what he was thinking behind his glasses.

And so, they arrived at the town of Akibara.

The town closest to the location of the bandits.
