Chapter 55 Harvest
Without hesitating for long, Eliji once again used the same method to gather the Nen energy from the item into a scroll.
Ninjutsu: Fire Release - Great Fireball Technique (scroll)
Effect 1: Transform Nen into high-temperature flames, spitting out fireballs with a diameter of 3 meters. The burning power far exceeds that of ordinary Nen bullets, and it can adhere to the surface of objects and continue to burn.
Effect 2: Fireballs can be "condensed" and compressed into more powerful fireballs, or "entangled" and wrapped into controllable fire weapons.
Side effects: After use, the throat will be temporarily paralyzed, and you will be unable to speak or perform Nen techniques that require vocalization for 10 minutes.
Seeing the description of the reel, Ailiji felt a little strange.
Is this still Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique? The second effect seems to resemble the development of other fire-type ninjutsu.
"Unable to speak for ten minutes? That's a manageable side effect. Luckily, I'm not the type to shout when unleashing a move. If this side effect happened to Xiao Jie, he'd probably be in a lot of pain, wouldn't he?"
When Ailiji thought of this, he couldn't help but smile to himself.
With these three scrolls, Eligi's desire to collect them intensified, so he got up and returned to the warehouse.
However, it seemed that Erici had arrived a step too late. The warehouse, which had been full of goods just moments before, was now more than half empty. Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask Quentin, "Where's that batch of goods?"
If Ellige remembers correctly, there were three collectibles among that batch of goods that possessed aura.
The presence of energy in the three collectibles is equivalent to three ninjutsu techniques for Eligi.
As he collects more and more artifacts, he will eventually be able to earn the title of "Ninja Doctor," just like the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Quentin found it odd to see Eric's anxious expression, but still said, "It's already been transported to the Youkexin Flea Market. What, did you miss it?"
"I did miss a few items in the collection, and I was planning to come back and discuss with you about buying them." Eligi didn't hide anything.
Seeing this, Quentin smiled and said, "I'll tell you the address for the shipment. Go and take a look. You might be able to find it. But once you get there, you'll have to pay for it yourself. A single nun costs over ten thousand. Make sure you bring enough money."
Eligi got an address from Quentin, found Gaara, and set off together.
The two were driving a black sedan when a "beep beep beep" sound started as soon as the car started moving, which sounded like a time bomb.
It exploded with a loud "boom".
In the instant of the explosion, Eligi used the Substitute Technique to switch places with a rock outside.
Because this was the second time he had used the Substitution Jutsu, his position was off by ten meters, and his Nen aura was slightly disordered. However, this did not prevent Eligi from teleporting away from his original spot and hiding behind a rock.
But the shockwave from the explosion left Eligi in a rather disheveled state, his hair all messed up.
"Gaara, are you alright?" Eligi asked after recovering from the explosion.
From within the dust cloud at the epicenter of the explosion, Gaara's voice rang out: "I'm alright!"
As the dust settled, a sand sphere enveloped Gaara. Instead of using Sand Instantaneous Movement to dodge the explosion, Gaara took the brunt of it.
Even if Gaara didn't envelop himself in sand and stones, relying solely on his own Nen, this kind of powerful bomb wouldn't kill him. Even if it did, it wouldn't matter; Erigi would at most expend half his Nen to summon him back.
Ailiji looked around warily, but didn't sense any danger.
Hinata and her group arrived at the scene after hearing the explosion. Hinata looked around with her Byakugan and said, "We didn't find any enemy figures."
When Ailiji emerged from the bunker, he looked at the destroyed car and felt somewhat helpless. The gang had already withdrawn the bounty, but he never expected that someone would still try to kill him in such an extreme way.
I just don't know if they're the same group from Meteor City.
However, Yokoshin is the territory of the underworld, so it's a bit too arrogant for people from Meteor Street to be so brazen.
"Never mind the explosion for now. Hinata, you guys shouldn't let your guard down lately. Gaara, let's change cars and go to the flea market," Eligi said.
The explosion was quite loud, and Quentin, as the supervisor, was alerted and rushed over from the warehouse.
Seeing that Ailiji was only somewhat disheveled, she was a little surprised, but quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Ailiji, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, just some clothes got dirty," Eligi laughed.
Quentin was somewhat surprised that even bombs couldn't solve the problem with Eligi, but he quickly said, "This must have been done by the Lor family. They've been having some disputes with us at the flea market lately."
Although the yakuza have organizations like the Ten Elders, their nature is similar to the Meteor City Elders' Council. It's inevitable that they'll fight amongst themselves for small gains; there's nothing strange about that.
What's strange is why they would attack Eligi, who had only just arrived.
Is it really enough that Eligi's reputation in the underworld is based on killing only three Shadow Beasts?
"The Lor family? Is it also a direct descendant of the Ten Elders?" Eligi asked.
It seems that there are also elders in gangs, and the structure is called differently depending on the region. It is a rather complex network of relationships.
Eric has just joined the gang, so naturally he doesn't know what's going on inside. But Quentin is different. I heard he's been with the Doyle family for twenty or thirty years and came from Meteor City before.
There's nothing strange about coming from Meteor City, since 60-70% of the gangsters come from there.
Gangsters love big shots like Meteor City who have no identity outside and are fearless.
In order to obtain a large amount of food from the gangsters, Meteor City has been continuously supplying talent.
Therefore, while there is some competition between the two, there is also close cooperation.
Quentin nodded directly and said, "They are indeed his direct subordinates. The leader is a guy named Shanzhi, who is usually very arrogant in the gang and can't stand those who get promoted through connections."
Quentin's words were pointed, and he was probably referring to people like Ellige who got their positions through connections.
"Zenji? That name sounds familiar." Eligi didn't know where he had heard the name before, but it did sound somewhat familiar.
"The Lor family, good governance!" Eligi read aloud, his brow furrowing.
Quentin then asked seriously, "Should I gather everyone together now and go to them to demand an explanation?"
"An explanation? What explanation do you need from a dead person!" Eligi asked, quite puzzled.
Quentin's eyes darted left and right after hearing this, and then he advised, "Although the higher-ups allow us to dabble in small-scale operations, if we take down a direct subordinate leader, the Ten Elders might get involved."
"So troublesome? Fine, I'll let that guy named Zenji go for your sake." Eligi gave up quite decisively.
Quentin was taken aback. He had a personal grudge against that Zenji, so why was he letting him off the hook just because of him?
"That would be best, of course. The auction is approaching, so let's not make a big fuss," Quentin said, forcing a smile.
"Hmm!" Eligi glanced at Quentin, thinking that the gang wasn't as peaceful as he thought; the people inside could be ruthless and even turn on their own people.
