Chapter 44 Ambush
chirp——
The hunting call of the nighthawk is clear and loud, echoing intermittently in the dark and deep mountain forest.
The caravan moved forward slowly.
Ahead of the low ground lies a narrow valley.
The cliffs on the left and right are about ten feet high.
A team of six people were crawling on the cliff on the right side. They were dressed as Konoha ANBU, and two of them were watching the clouds gradually disappearing in the sky.
The six people merged with the night, like patient hunters. They were the Root Organization team led by Yamafaze and Aburame Takene.
The two of them were highly regarded by Danzo.
So much so that Danzo died.
The two of them came with Danzo's remaining loyal confidants to intercept and kill the Uchiha defecting team.
"Two captains, it seems a caravan is coming in front." A member of the Root Organization reported in a low voice.
Yamafaze and Aburame Tori looked at each other, and the former said solemnly: "Drive them all to the area covered by the ninja-throwing trap, and deal with them all."
"Yes!" Two members of the Root Organization disguised as ANBU flashed towards the exit of the valley.
They understand Shanfeng's decision-making.
Better to kill by mistake.
Don't let it go.
Even if this is an ordinary caravan, it prevents the Uchiha defecting team from sneaking into it in disguise.
"The movement in the forest just now may be Asuma's team or other pursuit teams taking action against the Uchiha defecting team. I can understand this, but the changes in the clouds in the sky..."
Aburame Takegen spoke in a low voice.
"That was indeed caused by swordsmanship. I guess it was the strong men in the ninja world who took action against the Uchiha defecting team. In short, no one in Uchiha has such strong swordsmanship."
Shanfeng said in a deep voice.
Aburame took the root and said:
"Well, I hope Asuma and the other pursuit teams can cause some trouble for the Uchiha team!"
Shanfeng didn't take it seriously. After thinking about it, he reminded, "If you encounter one, be sure to pay attention to the distance and be careful of the opponent's control-type pupil technique!"
"My newly raised nanometer-level sentient bugs are lodged in your bodies. Once someone is controlled, I can feel the reaction of your spirit and chakra."
They were fully prepared for this ambush.
……
The caravan enters the valley.
Sitting in the carriage, Yinyue raised her head, inspected the towering cliffs on both sides, and fell into deep thought.
If there is already a root organization team lurking in Mount Katsuragi, terrain like this is most suitable for an ambush.
The task is equivalent to reminding him.
The team is walking into a trap.
This time it was to annihilate the pursuit team again, but the target was changed to the root organization's team.
This is the inevitable trouble that defecting to Konoha must face.
"The remnants of Danzo?"
Yinyue had the answer in her heart, but she had never imagined that after Danzo's death, members of the Root Organization would avenge him.
"Tied!"
With a smile on her face, Yuhi Hong tied the ninja bag for Yin Yue, stood up slowly, sat next to Yin Yue, and looked at his cheek quietly.
"Sorry...I just misunderstood you."
Suddenly, Uchiha Mikoto's dignified and soft voice came from the opposite side of Yin Yue.
Yin Yue lowered her head and looked directly at the other person.
Uchiha Mikoto's eyes were sincere and apologetic, her eyes were lowered, and she explained:
"I just... didn't understand your behavior, so I wanted to stop it. Unexpectedly, you just helped her check up..."
Although Mikoto still doesn't understand the meaning of Yiyue's actions, she did misunderstand the other party.
she knows.
Yinyue really has no idea about that little girl.
Do that.
He must have another purpose, and this purpose may help the team escape.
Thinking of this, Mikoto, who has always been gentle, kind and considerate, felt that it was necessary to apologize to the other party.
It feels bad to be misunderstood.
"Ah, why do you want to check my body?"
Hotaru's cheeks turned red and she looked at Mikoto curiously. The other Uchiha were indifferent and did not dare to gossip too much about Yin Yue's private affairs.
Yinyue's eyes moved away from Uchiha Mikoto's fair and pretty face, looked at the other Uchiha, and said in a deep voice: "Get ready to fight!"
Hearing this, the Uchiha's faces gradually became serious.
When Yin Yue said these words.
It means...danger is nearby!
Uchiha Mikoto's pupils trembled slightly, and she seemed to have made some kind of decision in her heart. With firm eyes, she stared at the moon, stretched out her white wrist, turned her palm over, and asked:
"Can you give me a weapon?"
Yinyue nodded, took out the only kunai from the ninja bag that Yuhi Hong tied for him, and handed it to her.
What pleased him was that when danger came, the clan leader's wife would stand up and fight for the remaining clan members instead of escaping.
Yingying's pupils trembled slightly as she stared at half of Yinyue's face under the black hood. She didn't know what this man meant when he said he was ready to fight.
As for Izumi, who was in the Uchiha team, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted in his heart:
"No, there is really danger in this mountain. No matter what choice you make, you will encounter it?"
Why did Captain Yin Yue insist on entering the mountain?
The Uchihas immediately woke up.
Since he knew there was danger in the mountains and still headed into the mountains, Captain Yin Yue's intention was obvious. He wanted to annihilate all the pursuers!
Thinking of this, the Uchihas became excited, and each of them quietly clenched their fists, ready to fight at any time.
The caravan advanced slowly.
Raising land——
The first carriage suddenly stopped, and then came Zong Quan's frightening reprimand: "Get out of the way of the people in front, this is the caravan of the Earth Spider Clan!"
Gollum—
The wheels of the caravan vehicles stopped one after another, and the horses were led by the caravan members, snorting and neighing.
Yin Yue and others turned sideways and looked forward.
In the dark forest.
Two figures wearing ANBU masks and Konoha gray and white armor slowly walked out.
One of them said contemptuously:
"We are the ANBU of Konoha. We now suspect that your convoy has a rebel ninja team. All personnel will get out of the car and undergo inspection. Those who disobey will be treated as traitors!"
Hearing this, Zongquan's eyes trembled slightly, he laughed, and said: "Master Ninja, we are all good people, there is no betrayal in the team..."
Bang! !
Before Zongquan could finish speaking, another tall ANBU ninja kicked Zongquan in the stomach with enough force that he kicked Zongquan onto the wheel.
"Uh..." Zong Quan knelt on the ground, his pupils widened, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and severe pain came from his abdomen.
But his mind was thinking wildly.
In this situation.
It must be that neither party can be offended.
He was not sure whether these Konoha ANBU could deal with the S-class rebel ninja in the convoy.
If you can't solve it and betray the rebel nin, the final outcome will be death.
On the second carriage.
In addition to Yinyue wearing a black robe, all the Uchiha swords have been contained for a long time. Even Yuhi Hong and Nonoyu also changed the clothes of the Earth Spider tribe and used the transformation technique to change their faces and bodies.
In the dark night, Yinyue blended in with the ordinary-dressed team, dressed in a black robe and not conspicuous.
At this time, the Uchiha all looked at Yiyue, waiting for his signal.
"That's ANBU..."
Uchiha Nanfeng whispered.
"No, it's the root."
Yin Yue calmly explained.
All Uchiha looked confused, root organization?
Only Yin Yue knew that these were just members of the root organization dressed as ANBU.
They should be the team that followed Asuma and others around the same time as the night of genocide.
"There should be many enemies lurking on the cliffs on these two sides. I will contain them from the front, and you will be responsible for the assassination!"
Yin Yue simply assigns tasks.
"Yes..." The Uchiha replied in a low voice, and then fell silent.
Quan lamented helplessly that she was really in trouble. Now she could only hope that there was no ambush on the other two roads.
