CHAPTER 595: CHAPTER 83: REMEMBER THIS FACE

Su Xiao slowly drew the Dragon Slash from his waist. A great opportunity was right in front of him, and it would be foolish not to take advantage of it.

"You also want to grab the Demon Hunting Ring?"

A simple-looking black ring appeared, and Gulu used a dagger to lift the Demon Hunting Ring, aiming to fling it into her mouth.

A bizarre scene occurred. After the Demon Hunting Ring entered Gulu’s mouth, she actually slipped it onto her tongue.

Seeing this, Su Xiao was puzzled. Why didn’t Gulu wear the Demon Hunting Ring? Could it be that its individual attributes weren’t strong? Or perhaps Gulu’s other rings had stronger attributes.

"Although the chances of obtaining it are slim, it’s worth trying."

"Slim chances?"

With the Demon Hunting Ring in her mouth, Gulu smiled for some reason. Her big, watery eyes looked like crescent moons as she smiled; for someone who kills so mercilessly, Gulu looked adorably silly when she smiled.

"Got it. It seems you don’t intend to threaten me to hand over the Demon Hunting Ring like those fools. You plan to kill me and then extract the Demon Hunting Ring from a Scarlet Card, such thinking..."

Gulu laughed several times, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

"You’d better not run into our leader, that maniac. With a style like yours, he’ll definitely beat you half to death and then force you to join us."

Saying this, Gulu seemed to recall some bad memories. That’s how she joined the group, beaten half to death by the Travel Group Leader and given two choices.

One was to join the group, and the other was to be stripped and thrown among a bunch of hungry lower-tier demons.

Gulu didn’t want to act out a porn scene, so she joined the group very straightforwardly.

To her surprise, after she joined, she never saw the Travel Group Leader again, and she realized the group wasn’t like an adventure group but just a nominal organization.

Besides having a group number, she had no other responsibilities, no need to gather in any Derivative World, and it didn’t matter if she acted in the group’s name.

While Gulu laughed, Su Xiao was already preparing for battle.

"Wait."

Gulu placed the dagger in front of her, looking serious.

She first sheathed the dagger, spat out the Demon Hunting Ring, and took out a candy from her storage space.

Su Xiao thought Gulu was about to unleash a big move, but who would have thought she’d just take out a candy?

"Staring at me won’t work; I’m not sharing the candy, not even if I die."

Peeling the candy, Gulu delightfully tossed it into her mouth.

"What should I do? I’m in a terrible state. Fighting you could kill me, but I really don’t want to die."

Gulu’s cheek bulged out from the candy, her big eyes swiveling, and she suddenly caught sight of the ongoing battle between the Nine-tails and Pain in the distance.

"I’ve got an idea."

Exhaling deeply, Gulu began muttering again.

"You bastard, bitch, bitch, bitch. So frustrating, what a bloody bad luck."

Gulu seemed to make a big decision; the Demon Hunting Ring appeared in her hand.

Gulu’s petite body crouched down, tightly gripping the Demon Hunting Ring.

"Off you go!"

Gulu threw the Demon Hunting Ring with all her might; it soared towards the battlefield of Pain and the Nine-tails.

"Hope you get bitten to death by the Nine-tails."

Saying this, Gulu sprinted towards the exit of Konoha Village, looking quite frustrated. With her personality, she wouldn’t hand over the Demon Hunting Ring even under torture.

Extreme as she was, it didn’t mean Gulu wanted to die; her hard-earned strength made her want to continue living freely.

If she could use the Demon Hunting Ring to kill an enemy, that would be different. That battlefield was extremely dangerous; anyone nearby would be affected.

The Demon Hunting Ring floated in mid-air, and Gulu laughed with satisfaction.

Su Xiao watched the Demon Hunting Ring fly away and silently raised his left arm.

Swoosh—

The Boundary Line shot out, rapidly heading towards the Demon Hunting Ring.

Just as the Demon Hunting Ring reached the battlefield of the Nine-tails and Pain, the Boundary Line arrived.

With a clink, the hook lock at the tip of the Boundary Line pierced through the Demon Hunting Ring’s interior, coiling around it; it was almost the farthest extent the Boundary Line could reach.

Retracting the Boundary Line, the Demon Hunting Ring appeared in Su Xiao’s hand.

Gulu, who was running frantically, was dumbfounded and almost crashed into a tree on Konoha’s edge.

"What kind of move is that! Got careless."

Halting in place, Gulu felt very unwilling with this outcome.

"No, I can’t stand this injustice. Is this guy Spiderman or something."

It wouldn’t matter if Su Xiao risked his life to get the Demon Hunting Ring, but the current outcome left her conflicted.

"Hey!"

Gulu shouted, her gaze fixed on Su Xiao.

"Remember this face."

Gulu pointed at herself.

"Remember it well."

Finishing her words, Gulu disappeared into the forest near Konoha Village, with the anger on her face vanishing as soon as she entered the forest.

"Found another interesting toy, and this one seems sturdy; unlike Xiela, who cried and handed over the Demon Hunting Ring without much resistance. You violent and intimidating man, I hope you remain fierce once you fall into my hands. Don’t disappoint me, Bai Ye."

Muttering as she went, Gulu decisively ran into a tree.

Bang, Gulu collided with a big tree, seemingly stuck in it.

The Travel Group members’ thoughts weren’t usually normal, and Gulu was certainly included.

...

Su Xiao held the Demon Hunting Ring, contemplating the pros and cons of this event.

First, he offended Gulu. As for whether he offended the Travel Group, the answer was no. He had killed members of the Travel Group, but they hadn’t pursued him, and there were no repercussions from that incident.

Not only did he offend Gulu, but if Gulu spread the news of him obtaining the Demon Hunting Ring, he might be hunted by a large adventure group.

Considering the false number granted by Reincarnation Paradise, unless stumbled upon, those large adventure groups wouldn’t be able to find him.

All things considered, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks. Obtaining the Demon Hunting Ring involved a bit of luck; Gulu was already half-dead from being hunted and had endured Pain’s Shinra Tensei; otherwise, she wouldn’t have let go of the Demon Hunting Ring.

Or maybe it wasn’t luck. Su Xiao’s starting location in the Naruto World was the Land of Water, making an encounter with Gulu likely if she was there.

Afterward, Su Xiao attacked the Sand Ninja Village and roamed around, finally attacking Konoha. The Naruto World didn’t have many large powers, and his unconscious actions significantly increased the chances of meeting Gulu.

Su Xiao chose to return to Reincarnation Paradise.

[Detected that the Hunter has obtained qualification for return and is not in combat. You will return to Reincarnation Paradise in 2 minutes.]

Su Xiao waited to return while examining the properties of the Demon Hunting Ring.
