18 Chapter 18: Worse than that Konoha Genin!
"Senpai Juzo, this is the contract of the Forging Master Spiritual Land. If you agree to this contract, I can summon you out in the Forging Master Spiritual Land."
Biwa Juzo took it and agreed directly.
A bright light flashed on the recruitment order.
Then, the color of the recruitment order changed slightly.
This means that Biwa Juzo has become Uehara Soma's enforcer.
"Senpai Juzo, are you ready?"
"Yes."
With a thought from Uehara Soma,
[Dungeon Instance opening.]
[Opening successful.]
[Transferring.]
Uehara Soma opened his eyes to a forest, steep terrain; this should be somewhere in the mountains.
"Summon enforcer!"
In Uehara Soma's sight, two options appeared.
One was Hoshigaki Kisame, the other was Biwa Juzo.
Uehara Soma raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Now Kisame is on a mission, heading to the battlefield, already out of the Land of Water's range, and yet can still be summoned as an enforcer from such a distance?"
Uehara Soma immediately thought of a new way to use the ability to summon enforcers.
That is, when an enforcer encounters a life-threatening situation, using the ability to summon enforcers, one can directly summon the enforcer into the Dungeon Instance.
"I wonder where the enforcers will appear when they leave the Dungeon Instance."
Uehara Soma chose Biwa Juzo.
Biwa Juzo felt a pull, landing on himself, not resisting.
The next moment.
Biwa Juzo's figure appeared beside Uehara Soma.
"Soma, is this the Forging Master Spiritual Land?"
"Yes."
A figure approached them.
With golden short hair, wearing armor, a man resembling a medieval knight, with a somewhat youthful face but determined eyes.
A voice sounded in Uehara Soma's mind.
[Instance Mission: Eugio's Regret.]
[Mission Reward: Materials for the Blue Rose Sword.]
[Do you accept the mission?]
Biwa Juzo's gaze fell on the young man.
"Accept."
Uehara Soma looked at Biwa Juzo and said, "Senpai Juzo, this is our client."
Biwa Juzo nodded.
Immediately, a scene appeared in front of Uehara Soma and Biwa Juzo.
Three figures set off to the end of the mountains for exploration.
Upon returning, the girl, in order to save a fallen knight, touched the taboo of the church.
Subsequently, she was taken away by an Integrity Knight dispatched by the church, and her fate became unknown.
This caused great self-blame in the young man.
This was the eternal regret in the young man's heart.
Later, the young man learned that the girl, under the brainwashing of the church, also became an Integrity Knight after being taken away.
The young man then understood the truth about the Integrity Knights.
The scene vanished.
"I want you to help me stop the Integrity Knights and prevent Alice from being taken away by the Integrity Knights."
"Okay."
The figure of the young man disappeared.
Not far away, the figure of a young girl entered the sight of the two.
Immediately after, the sound of armor movement echoed.
Uehara Soma and Biwa Juzo immediately looked over.
"Juzo-Senpai, they're here."
Biwa Juzo nodded, his expression becoming serious.
Soon, two fully armored figures appeared.
"Soma, you take the target and go first. I'll stop them. Our mission is just to ensure the target isn't taken away. There's no need to engage them head-on."
"Understood."
As ninjas, the fundamental goal of carrying out missions is to earn money.
It's a job.
Therefore, they do as much as they are paid for.
This is the viewpoint of the majority of ninjas.
Because missions are very dangerous, completing them is already quite difficult.
Hence, the mortality rate among ninjas has always been high.
Doing extra things will only make it more dangerous.
The sudden appearance of the Integrity Knights startled Alice.
However, before Alice could react, Uehara Soma had already stepped forward beside her.
Grabbing Alice's hand, he led her away from the Integrity Knights.
"I'm a friend of Eugio's."
Uehara Soma casually fabricated an identity for himself.
Alice was taken aback.
As Uehara Soma pulled her along, she looked at him, feeling strange that her close friend had a friend she had never seen before.
But in the current situation, Alice had no room for doubt.
She could sense that the Integrity Knights were after her.
And Uehara Soma was here to rescue her.
Biwa Juzo stood in front of the Integrity Knights, lifting the Executioner's Blade.
"Your opponent is me!"
The two Integrity Knights exchanged glances.
They were somewhat surprised by the sudden appearance of Biwa Juzo.
However, their mission was to bring Alice back, and no one could stop them.
"Kill him!"
One knight brandished a greatsword and charged at Biwa Juzo.
Biwa Juzo swung the Executioner's Blade.
"Ding!"
Their weapons clashed.
Biwa Juzo felt the recoil force in his arm and grinned.
"Is that all you've got?"
"Compared to that Konoha Genin, you're far inferior."
Another Integrity Knight approached Biwa Juzo from the side.
Just as this Integrity Knight thought that Biwa Juzo was being held back by their companion and couldn't resist or dodge their attack, Biwa Juzo suddenly performed One-Handed Seals.
"Water Release, Water Fang Blade Jutsu!"
A mass of water took the form of sharp blades in Biwa Juzo's hand.
The pupils of the Integrity Knight contracted.
Biwa Juzo faced two opponents alone, easily handling the two Integrity Knights.
However, what Biwa Juzo didn't know was that there weren't just two Integrity Knights, but three. The other Integrity Knight, upon seeing his two companions being held back by Biwa Juzo, didn't come over. Instead, he chased after Uehara Soma and Alice.
Uehara Soma heard the approaching footsteps.
"Water Release, Hiding In Mist Jutsu!"
A large amount of water mist suddenly spread out, enveloping the nearby area.
These mists partially obscured the vision of the Integrity Knight.
But Uehara Soma knew that it wouldn't stop the Integrity Knight for long.
"Alice, let's go faster."
Uehara Soma tightened his grip on Alice's hand.
Suddenly, Alice stumbled over a stone, her body faltering, about to fall forward uncontrollably. Uehara Soma reacted quickly and caught Alice before she fell.
"Hold on tight to me."
Alice quickly wrapped her arms around Uehara Soma's neck.
Uehara Soma condensed chakra in his legs, increasing his speed.
Feeling the bumps in Uehara Soma's embrace, Alice looked up at his face. Not sure what she was thinking, her face gradually turned red, and a faint heat emanated from her head.
