A few seconds later.

For the rest of the day, Wolf Queen Neina hunted the surviving members of Phantom Society.

Suddenly, Neina senses a sharp object flying on her place.

"Whoosh!" The sharp object hit the ground as Neina was able to dodge it easily.

"Tsk. Not bad for a starter."

Above the tree, a bald man wearing a mask descended from the ground. "Well well well... You evaded that kunai without a problem. Can you entertain me a little bit? I'm a little bit bored in this place." The masked man threatened. He grabs the long sword on his back pointed it at the wolf.

Neina only stared at him intently, not moving an inch.

"Ignoring me huh? Well, of course, you can't understand me. You're just a monster, coming out of nowhere. By the way, your meat is delicious, especially your belly. "

But Neina remained still. To be precise she was assessing the mask man's strength.

The masked man was a little stirred by the wolf's quietness. 'Whatever, I suck at provoking my enemies anyways. I will strike first.'

The masked man dashed forward and when he was within his sword's range he began attacking Neina. He delivered a powerful horizontal slash on Neina's head.

With clashing sound, Neina's claws and the masked man's sword collided. The masked man's eyes twitched by the wolf's strength. In a glimpse, he sensed a dreadful aura on his side. There, he saw Neina's other claw approaching his head. Fortunately, he evaded it in a nick of time, but his mask broke in half revealing his wrinkled face.

The masked man jumped backward distancing himself on the wolf. 'What a strength, I can still fell my hands trembling on that single exchanged. Its speed was also quick. That feeling... this is not good. I need to finish it using that.'

Then he performed multiple hand seals. His hand seals were fast and accurate. Seals were needed to perform many ninjutsu, genjutsu, and other secret arts other than taijutsu.

After performing all the necessary seals in merely two seconds, the masked man shouted, "Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

Coming from his mouth, he sends a stream of fire that takes on the form of a dragon towards the wolf's location. 'I am Endo Shunsen, the leader of Phantom Society. I'm honored to fight you. But, this is the end. This legendary technique was passed down to my ancestors! There's no way you can survive this! ' the masked man thought to himself.

Neina's red eyes intensified. 'Such a nuisance. That is not enough to match me.'

She decided to fights fire with fire. She imprinted her stand on the ground and let out a massive fireball. Her fireball was larger than before.

A loud noise interrupted the calmness of the forest as the two fireballs collided.

'Crap! What kind of jutsu is this?!!'

The ground shook.

Seconds later, the explosion creates a crater on the ground. On the crater, a corpse was lying not moving an inch. It was Endo Shunsen who died instantly.

His whole body was burned to crisp. His equipment was burned by the intense fire.

'Useless. Utterly useless. By this, I finally avenge you, Noah.'

Neina snorted. He walked away not knowing where to go.

Meanwhile, in the village of Konoha.

A loud noise interrupted the sleeping old man who was lying on his chair.
