puff!puff!puff!
"Ahhhhhh—" x3
The three people were pierced through the body by chakra threads extending from Shirahoshi's other hand, and fixed in mid-air, screaming in agony. Under Naoto's shocked gaze, Shirahoshi continued:
"My code name is Surgeon."
"What about the organization?"
Shirahoshi began to stroke her chin thoughtfully, finally making a "suddenly realized" expression. At the same time, all three Chunin fell from the sky to the ground, screaming again, attracting Naoto's attention, who then focused his attention back on Shirahoshi.
"Let's go with the white cross."
"Among the ten, I'm the BOSS~"
"That's what the leader means, right?"
"That's about it~" Shirahoshi waved her hand.
Upon hearing this, Naoto gripped his long sword tightly, sweat beading on his scalp.
"I know. I can't tell your strength at all."
"But within the territory of the Land of Fire."
"Don't forget that the Konoha ninja still exist!"
Shirahoshi's expression returned to calm. She thought to herself, "You guys are chasing after a noble young master near the City of Fire. And no matter how you look at it, it seems like you're the villains!"
"That's all."
"I'm bored."
"Let me send you away."
Just then, a shadow clone in the form of Shirahoshi appeared. Shirahoshi glanced at it and muttered, "Why is it you again, kid?"
"How come I keep running into you no matter where I go?!"
Shirahoshi scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed. Then, following a subtle hint from her main body, she immediately began to perform, seemingly gesturing to show Takeya and Madoka's height and build: "Um, do you know where adults and children this tall and this short are right now?"
Bai Xing pointed helplessly in a direction: "That spot."
Shirahoshi suddenly realized: "Thank you!"
"???"
Naoto, who was watching from the sidelines, was stunned for a moment, then laughed in anger. With one hand, he summoned three shuriken from the summoning scroll hidden in his wrist at an extremely fast speed, aiming at 'Shirahoshi' who was about to rush towards Takeya.
shhhhh--
laugh!laugh!laugh!
Shirahoshi shot out a light blue chakra line, accurately blocking Naoto's attack. Naoto could only watch helplessly as 'Shirahoshi' disappeared.
"asshole!"
"They're really rich. They even have scrolls that can summon spirit weapons." Bai Xing stroked his chin and stated a fact. "Normally speaking..."
"These scrolls are only given away for free to major customers in ninja tool shops and some weapon shops."
"Furthermore, unless you have a certain quantity, buying spirit scrolls individually is definitely not cost-effective."
At this moment, Naoto's face was covered in sweat, and he had an ominous feeling that his secret had been exposed. Seeing Naoto's stunned expression, Shirahoshi smiled slightly and continued:
"That is to say."
"You are a Jonin."
"And he's a Jonin who's been taken care of by someone."
"So the Land of Fire can support a wandering ninja who doesn't belong to Konoha and is most likely a Jonin-level ninja..." At this point, Shirahoshi's expression changed slightly, wondering if he was getting involved in some melodramatic palace intrigue drama!
Upon hearing this, Naoto removed the black cloth from his head, glanced down at his three lifeless companions, revealing a gaunt and cold face, and a pair of green eyes that looked at Shirahoshi:
"you guessed right."
"But unfortunately, I must do everything in my power to keep you here."
"otherwise......"
Naoto glanced at the corpses of his fallen comrades on the ground. If the Konoha team and the Daimyo team in the City of Fire arrived first, and he didn't deal with the five corpses on the ground, the matter would be exposed as well: then even if Enshin died, and the Daimyo had no descendants, the successor to the Daimyo would only be another lord.
"Eh. That sounds like a really complicated matter." Bai Xing was getting a little uneasy. He thought to himself, what if there's a powerful opponent ahead, and the shadow clone can't handle it?! In that case, he, the main body, would have to take the blame!
Just think about the 4 million yen property in Konoha, the genin status the village has reserved for him, and the peaceful life he'll have when he returns to the village...
Shirahoshi's eyes hardened.
"I see."
"Then..." Naoto's hands were still in the second hand seal of Fire Release. Shirahoshi stepped behind him, leaving Naoto with a message before she left:
"Feel sorry."
"I just remembered I need to go to the Land of Lightning for something."
"I'll stop talking to you for now."
for a long time.
The cool night breeze brushed against Naoto's face, and his once bright green eyes lost their color. Only two words echoed in his mind: So fast.
Not long after, a team of Jonin from Konoha appeared here together with the Daimyo's private team. Actually, there were other teams searching separately, but this team was responsible for monitoring the Konoha team.
Zhuanqin Xing landed on the ground and saw the situation around the battlefield. She immediately told everyone to stop and observe.
The older woman's scalp furrowed slightly, then she opened her eyes and said to Uchiha En and Uchiha Fuya:
There are quite a few corpses ahead.
"Go and investigate."
Flame and wind: ?
"Captain An...we're just Chunin..." Uchiha Feng practically blurted out that other teams sent their strongest ninjas to investigate.
"What? Are you Uchiha going to disobey orders?" Utatane Anzu revealed a smug smile. After all, this was the Land of Fire, not Konoha Village.
"Yes!" x2
The two could only grit their teeth and slowly move forward, checking the ground, the sides of the trees, and even the corpses for signs of traps.
Three minutes later, Tsurugi stepped forward and began to personally examine the bodies of the people.
After examining the five corpses of men in black on the ground, Zhuan Shenxing slowly stood up, but a bead of cold sweat appeared on her forehead:
"Something's wrong."
“Apart from the person who used the explosive tag, the other people’s wounds look like they were hit by steel wire, fishhooks or something similar, with the wounds hitting the body’s internal organs precisely.”
"Some hit the heart, some hit the lungs, and some hit the kidneys and stomach."
"This level of precision..."
"It feels like an attack from a medical ninja."
"Medical ninja? Senior Anzu isn't kidding us, is she?" Uchiha En smirked, thinking to himself, what medical ninja could penetrate a human body with steel wire? Even if the Uchiha clan used steel wire, it would normally only be for binding purposes.
Uchiha Fuya nodded slightly: "Let's seal the body in a spatial scroll and transport it back to the village for the Yamanaka clan to examine the memories."
"Anyway, this is all they're good at."
"Hmph." Upon hearing this, Utatane Anzu immediately glared at the two Uchiha with displeasure, thinking to herself, "As expected of the Uchiha ninjas that Aunt Koharu described as a naturally evil clan! They have a little talent, and they look down on everyone!!"
At that moment, a man in the daimyo's private squad spotted a strange figure on the tree trunk and immediately pointed: "Look! Isn't there another person on that tree over there?!"
"What!"x3
This time, Utatane Anzu didn't order the two Uchiha ninjas to attack. Instead, she rushed forward, preparing to throw the shuriken in her hand to test the waters. Suddenly, Uchiha Kaze stopped her.
Utatane An glanced at Uchiha Fuya, who shook his head. The single-tomoe Sharingan in his eyes clearly saw the figure in the tree, without any chakra fluctuations: "The other person seems to be dead."
"What!" Tsurugi was startled again, and this time she went straight forward to check the condition of the body.
At that moment, the thick clouds in the sky began to disperse, and the bright moonlight shone on Anzu, who stood frozen in front of Naoto's corpse. Later, Fuya Uchiha and Homura Uchiha fared no better. Even the three members of the Daimyo's private squad were startled by the scene.
The young man had a serious expression on his face, and his hands were forming a hand seal in the shape of the character "寅" (Yin), which was probably the ending or middle seal of some kind of fire jutsu, or it could be the seal of another jutsu.
The direct cause of the young man's death was...
It appears to be a small wound on the head, with a lot of blood flowing out, and the front of the neck has been cleanly severed by an unidentified sharp blade.
At this moment, some blood that had not yet drained was still pulsating.
terror!
As can be seen from the two wounds,
The man's enemy launched two attacks on the young man simultaneously the instant the two clashed, each one fatal!
Moreover, the man was caught off guard by the attack and died instantly.
"What ruthless methods." At this moment, Utatane Anzu was no longer in the mood to shift the blame or order around the two Uchiha ninjas. Now, a master who was no less than an elite Jonin, or even possibly a Kage, had appeared, and appeared deep in the Land of Fire: near the Fire Capital.
Without much thought, Utatane Anzu immediately issued orders to the two Uchiha Chunin:
"quick!"
"You two take this corpse back to the City of Fire. Tomorrow morning, seal it in a scroll, transport it back to the village, and begin the process of storing its memories..."
"Wait." Suddenly, a man from the daimyo's private squad spoke up, interrupting Anzu Utatane's words. Noticing the three people looking at him, the man chuckled:
"I'm sorry. You're a Jonin from Konoha."
"The name has an order."
"All the corpses here need to be collected and disposed of, so we won't trouble Konoha to help our team with the body collection."
"Please hurry to the front to rescue Lord Yuanxin!"
"You!" Utatane Anzu hadn't expected this private team to betray her at this crucial moment. While the two Uchiha ninjas enjoyed seeing Utatane Anzu humiliated, they were still, after all, from Konoha...
"What? Do you have orders from the Hokage?" The man said, a disdainful expression on his face. "Does the Hokage intend to rebel? Was this incident also orchestrated by your Konoha Village?!"
"You—" Uchiha Anzu was choked by the man's words and couldn't say anything. Uchiha Fuya and Uchiha Enya, who were standing to the side, knew that continuing the stalemate would only put the daimyo's child in danger.
So, Uchiha Fuuya and Uchiha En began to feign concern for the daimyo's son, whispering to each other whether it would be better to go to his aid first. Hearing this, Utatane Anzu gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger, inwardly wishing the daimyo's son a swift death. "When you're no longer the daimyo, let's see what your arrogance will be like then!"
