Chapter-44: Lina Gla.s.sEastern Great Forest, RedSun Nation.
Nina Blue aka Konan was skipping and hopping on the tree to tree.
She was never good at in term of physical prowess. She was an excellent magician who also known as Tactician Witch among her peerage in the academy.
Before she fallen to illness, was ranked 3rd student in her cla.s.s where Jin was 50th in another word the last ranked student from beginning to end. But she dropped to the 49th rank after she got ill. Though she should have 50th because she couldn"t show her battle form at all, however to honoring one of the former elite students she wasn"t put at the last place. Of course, Jin was okay with it.
However, after her rebirth, she got boost several times that she was before failing into illness. She clearly knows that her newfound strength awake because Jin modified her body.
For the past five months, she was practicing the new power along with her magic. By the way, last one month in the time-s.p.a.ce village converted into a total 5 months. At first, it was one day equal to three days, after some days in promoted five days and currently it seven days. Jin thinks that it is the current maximum output if it is more than that this world"s principle of time and s.p.a.ce may not take it and collapse which may cause the catastrophe that world few time saw. Let"s forget that for now and come to the point, last five months she is developing her strength extrordinarily by combining her newfound jutsu + magical technique + innate ability, she can say for certain that she can overpower every student from her cla.s.s if exclude current Jin.
"Oh, seems like she is really here, that woman really like to wander around in the wilderness."
Using her innate ability she located a particular person.
That person was sitting beside a huge bear corpse.
That bear"s head was twisted on its backside. It"s visible that any magic wasn"t used to kill that bear but with raw arm strength.
"Oiya, oiya, isn"t it little Nina. What are you doing in this wilderness?"
Though Konan was standing behind of that woman, she (woman) sense that it was Konan without any confusion.
"It"s been a while, Senior Lina."
Lina turned to Konan"s side while still in the sitting posture.
"Long time indeed. Oh, looks like you have grown. Your b.r.e.a.s.t.s have gotten huge yet again, I am envious."
"This woman is s.e.xual hara.s.ser as always." Konan inwardly sighed. Lina Gla.s.s was her senior in her academy. After graduating from her academy life she didn"t stay at the sect and went for wondering around.
"So, did you lose your way or going wild like me and our meeting was fateful one?"
"No, I came for you and to pick you up."
Konan blandly said her reason to see her. Jin decided to recruit few members to make an elite force for him. Though his initial plan was to teach the slave kids from scratch, the problem is who will teach them closely? As Jin has to run around here and there, it"s really tough for teaching almost a hundred kids. That"s why he wants to first teach veterans who were genius in their career and make them teach the kids. For that reason, they came up with a list of individuals who will be compatible with Naruto-verse jutsu.
"Haha, you come for me? So you finally start to swing this way. No, it"s must be this big sister"s charm."
"Ah, I did forgot she was a lesbian." Remembering that Konan got a headache. If possible she would avoid this kind of woman but Lina is certainly a genius expert and number one in her generation.
"Well, it"s not really my idea to pick you up and cooperate with us, it"s Jin Tiger who want you."
"Jin Tiger… ah, that handsome lad. Why though?"
"Do you know that Tower of Eden is no more?"
She frowned upon hearing her sentence.
"What the heck are you saying?"
It"s obvious from her reaction that she didn"t hear it yet. Konan told her from beginning to end while keeping few things secret.
Lina listened to all of that without interrupting. She was silent for a few moments before asking,
"So, why should I collaborate with that lad? What is he planning? Revenge?"
"You can say that. But his biggest aim is to revive the sect again in this world."
Of course, she won"t say Jin"s revival plan.
"That"s an admirable aim. But I cannot help him here. You know I don"t like that lad, he took away many beautiful girls from me."
Hearing her reason Konan face was twitching.
"But you know, put aside the previous grudge, it"s almost impossible to revive the sect again, much less he is a prince, even if he is a king he cannot revive proud Tower of Eden which was one of the greatest sects in this subcontinent. Because he lacks sufficient strength to rule."
"Oh, you don"t have to think about that. Let me elaborate his backbone to you. How about give me a try?"
Konan told her with mocking smile.
"Oh, little Nina actually challenging me? Heh, okay with me... let me show your place."
Lina laughed fearlessly.
Lina Gla.s.s, she is a magic warrior. Her most noticeable trait is body strengthening buff on her. She is deadly when serious. She can shatter palm size stone in powder with her grip. Her technique closely resembles Tsunade or Sakura Haruno, that"s why she was chosen by Jin, he wants her to cultivate hundred healing seal as well as body strengthening jutsu that Sakura and Tsunade developed.
By the way, she was captain of the Tower of Eden who represented 131st and 132nd national tournament and won both championships, Jin was captain of the 133rd national tournament and won the championship. It was hat-trick record of the national tournament which was seen in the first time in the 133rd national tournament (each tournament held one time in three years)
Ten min later.
The trees were shuttered around them. It was a devastating scene.
Lina was breathing hard.
"What is that magic? I couldn"t even touch you for a once let alone scratch."
In the sky, with a pair of paper wings, Konan was floating.
"This is the example of his power. Lina Gla.s.s, follow me. You will have the power that you are craving for a long time."
