Chapter 27 Mission failed?

Qingye was almost certain that if Yunyin knew that he was in the team, he would kill him without hesitation. Even the task of destroying the baggage was not necessarily higher than killing himself.

He also had no doubt that Danzo might reveal his whereabouts to the other party.

Therefore, from the moment he left Konoha, Aoba entered a state of alert, which made Hongdou beside him very confused.

"Aoba, you're exaggerating. We've only been away from Konoha for a day. No matter how powerful Kumogakure is, they can't ambush us in the heart of the Land of Fire. Just relax a little."

However, what Hongdou didn't notice was that Aoba's expression had begun to become unusually serious.

He turned to face Anko and pulled out a metal cylinder the size of a needle.

"This is a recovery potion I made. It can quickly recover from external injuries and some physical strength, and it has no side effects. If you get seriously injured later, remember to drink it immediately."

"So amazing! I didn't know you had this skill. Wait, what do you mean by being seriously injured?"

"Literally, they're already here."

Aoba said as he drew out the Kusanagi sword from his back. This sword made Anko's eyes change slightly. She was very familiar with this sword because it was the sword of her teacher Orochimaru.

But at this time, there was no time to discuss this issue, because Hongdou also noticed that something was wrong around her.

"Be alert, enemy attack."

She yelled. The next second, countless kunai and shurikens flew from all directions.

Thanks to Red Bean's reminder, most of the Konoha ninjas took precautions. A few earth escape techniques blocked most of the attacks.

But what followed were hundreds of Cloud Hidden Figures.

Moreover, the Kumogakure ninjas at the front had clear flashes of lightning on their bodies. They were all ninjas who had practiced Kumogakure's unique secret technique, the Lightning Release Body Refining Technique.

The ninjutsu of Kumogakure is different from Aoba's wind-style ninjutsu. They use lightning to strengthen themselves and increase their speed, strength, and ability to resist attacks.

They turned a group of highly agile assassins into heavily armored warriors. This also made most ninjas feel helpless when facing these Kumogakure.

Facing the overwhelming attack, Qingye stood still without moving. A whirlwind surrounded him. All the kunai and shuriken were changed their trajectory by the whirlwind when they approached one meter in front of him.

The whole picture looked as if all the attacks bypassed him, giving people an unspeakable sense of weirdness.

All the attackers formed an attack formation and attacked the baggage train.

Among them, the three ninjas with the most obvious lightning on their bodies immediately locked their targets on Aoba.

All of Qingye's guesses had almost come true. They were not only bait, but they were also the most important bait.

The question now is, when will Konoha's reinforcements arrive? Because since they are bait, there should be reinforcements. I hope the reinforcements will not appear after they are all dead.

Aoba swung his sword horizontally, slashing through the air. But the ninja in the front raised his arm and blocked the attack.

Qingye noticed that he had a special metal wrist guard on his arm, which seemed to be specially designed to deal with Qingye's move.

The Sky-Slashing Flash was blocked, and the next second the three ninjas accelerated by the Lightning Release had rushed in front of Aoba.

Qingye could even see the smug look on the face of the ninja in the front. At this distance, fighting against the Kumogakure ninja who used the lightning release to strengthen his power was an extremely disadvantageous situation. The opponent didn't think he had been defeated.

The three attacking ninjas were at least at the level of special jonin. If the three joined forces and fought in close combat, even Konoha's elite jonin might not be able to withstand it.

Aoba did not retreat but advanced, and the Kusanagi sword pierced the opponent's throat.

With a clang, the opponent actually used the metal glove on his hand to directly grab his sword blade, preventing Kusanagi Sword from moving forward.

"Die!" the Cloud Ninja yelled. His other hand, flashing with lightning, pierced Aoba's chest. The other two Cloud Ninjas also blocked Aoba's way from other angles.

However, at this moment, Aoba's mouth curled slightly. The blade of the Kusanagi sword suddenly extended and pierced through the opponent's throat.

Then the Aoba Kusanagi sword turned and crushed his throat directly, and then the whole person took another step forward and crashed into his arms.

He killed one person in one strike, and avoided the blockade of the other two at the same time. The two men moved very quickly, and even though they missed the first strike, they did not retreat at all, and rushed forward again, trying to seize the initiative. Because the Kusanagi sword in Aoba's hand was too threatening.

But they were fast, and Aoba was not slow either. The extended blade swung again, and the ninja on the right used his wrist guard to block it. But he didn't expect that as soon as he raised his hand, he found that there was no feeling of steel colliding.

But he saw that the Kusanagi sword in Aoba's hand suddenly retracted, avoiding his wrist guard, and then extended again, directly doing the same thing and piercing his throat.

Then, Qingye turned around and cut the throat of the last Kumo Ninja with a sword. The opponent was unable to react because at that moment he was entangled by a group of snakes.

Aoba had seen Hongdou's support from the side out of the corner of his eye, so he felt safe to deal with the enemy on the right first.

The entire fight took only about ten seconds. The three special jonin-level cloud ninjas had all died at Aoba's hands.

This is how regular fights between ninjas work; life and death often depend on just a moment.

But after killing the three people, Hongdou knelt down in front of Qingye, took out the potion Qingye gave her, and drank it directly.

At this time, Qingye noticed that there was a huge wound on her abdomen. It looked like someone had punched her in the stomach and her intestines were about to flow out.

Such a serious injury was quickly healed by the life potion. In less than ten seconds, the wound disappeared without a trace.

Hongdou herself was a little surprised. She touched her belly and said in disbelief.

"Qingye, your medicine is simply..."

Before they could finish their words, the two of them were once again in a bitter battle. The enemy was much more numerous than they had imagined. At least hundreds of Cloud Ninjas participated in this attack.

The weakest one is a Chunin, making this an absolutely elite team.

Hongdou, who was in a tough battle, looked a little unhappy.

"How is it possible that we encounter so many enemies in this location? Qingye, I'm afraid our mission will fail."

"No, actually, we have done a very good job. I even feel that we have done it a little too well."
