Chapter 10 Successful Kill

Kushina also woke up at this time. She thought that the mark she left had worked and the village sent people to rescue her.

The two ninjas from the Sand Village have been trying their best to maximize their perception in an attempt to find the enemy who killed their companions.

But apart from the trees, they couldn't find any enemies around.

Cold sweat slowly flowed down their foreheads, and they could feel that there was a wild beast staring at them in the dark woods.

The remaining jonin swallowed his saliva. He could only put his hope on the captain behind him. That companion who was almost as strong as him was shot through the abdomen by an unknown enemy. He didn't think he would be much better. Maybe he would keep as little intestines as possible?

"Captain, have you found the enemy?"

He spoke softly, but did not hear the reassuring voice.

He could only continue to test:

"Captain? Captain, are you still there?"

He could clearly feel that he was standing back to back with the captain, so why didn’t the captain reply? . .

The ninja's pupils suddenly constricted, chakra surged throughout his body, and he punched hard behind him.

But his fist failed to hit anything, and the captain behind him had fallen to the ground at some point, with his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes open.

The ninja became more and more panicked. He flashed to Kushina's side, grabbed Kushina's neck, and said viciously:

"Come out now, or I'll kill this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

Dengdengdeng.

There was a sound of footsteps in the woods, and Lu Lin, dressed in black and wearing a black mask, walked out slowly.

Seeing the murderer behind the scenes show up, the Sand Ninja's eyes suddenly turned red:

"Damn guy!"

However, he knew that he was no match for this man, so he could only grab Kushina and put her in front of him:

"Let me leave here, otherwise, this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will definitely die before me!"

Lu Lin tilted his head and didn't say anything. He still walked forward. Facing the threat from the Sand Ninja, he did not stop at all.

"Stop right there! If you dare to move forward again, this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will die before me!"

The hand he held on Kushina's neck gradually tightened. Kushina began to feel dizzy and her eyes began to roll up uncontrollably.

Lu Lin's body swayed, as if he was indeed threatened by the Sand Ninja, and his steps forward stopped.

A glimmer of hope flashed in the eyes of the Sand Ninja:

"Get out of my way now!"

As he said this, he shook the unconscious Kushina in his hand, as if to indicate that he still had the hostage.

"Finally fainted."

Lu Lin suddenly spoke.

"What do you mean?"

The Sand Ninja didn't quite understand, but stared at Lu Lin:

"Get out of the way, let me go!"

His legs were already shaking uncontrollably. He had never thought that he could be so nervous.

Lu Lin scratched his head, slowly moved himself away, waved at the Sand Ninja, signaling him that he could leave.

But that Sand Ninja seemed to be taking things a little too far:

"You must walk in front of me and go wherever I say, otherwise..."

He shook Kushina again.

But this time Lu Lin did not move. He looked at the Sand Ninja opposite him with a slightly cold look:

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't even cherish it. Do you really want to die?"

Lu Lin's words made the Sand Ninja nervous again:

"What do you want to do? Aren't you afraid..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest. He looked down and found that a piece of iron had pierced his chest without him noticing.

Feeling the life draining away from his body, his whole body began to feel cold, and he wanted to find someone to take the blame for him.

But the arm of the hostage he was holding had been cut off at some point, and he couldn't even fight to the death.

"Uh..."

He wanted to say something, but blood was already gushing out of his throat.

He could only stare at the murderer with his own eyes, his hatred almost condensing into something physical.

"Tsk, tsk, you hate me so much?"

Lu Lin slowly walked up to the Sand Ninja, looked at the already powerless enemy, and said with a smile:

"Thank you so much, I feel much better now."

Then it turned around and disappeared back into the forest, and the bodies of the three Sand Ninjas were swallowed up by the earth that seemed to come alive at some point, and completely disappeared. Only Kushina, who was still unconscious, was left lying there.

The next day, Lu Lin, who had a good sleep, got up happily. After eating the breakfast brought by the maid, he put his hands behind his back and swaggered onto the street.

Konoha today is as lively as ever, with vendors hawking their wares from time to time, and people bargaining, and the air is filled with a strong smell of fireworks.

To be honest, although Konoha is not as prosperous as the Fire City, the civilians here are freer and live more comfortably.

After all, no ninja would bully the civilians in his own village for no reason. Only those powerless nobles would exploit and bully the civilians under their command.

As they were walking, two familiar figures suddenly appeared in front of them. They were Minato and Kushina who was captured last night.

However, Kushina had recovered by now, thanks to Uzumaki's powerful vitality. After all, she had not suffered many injuries in the first place.

And her eyes were always on Minato. Apparently, after Lu Lin left last night, Minato discovered the mark left by Kushina, and rushed out and rescued the unconscious Kushina in time.

Minato also noticed Lu Lin and greeted him with a smile:

"Good morning, Boss Lu Lin."

"Good morning you guys."

Lu Lin said with a grin, he was pretty easy to get along with when he wasn't feeling depressed, Fugaku should be able to attest to that.

"Didn't you go on the mission today?"

"No."

Minato shook his head:

"Spend some time with Kushina today."

He looked at Kushina beside him gently. Although Kushina was a little embarrassed, she looked at Minato lovingly, without paying any attention to Lu Lin beside her.

Lu Lin felt a little nauseous. He had eaten too much for breakfast in the morning and couldn't eat any more dog food.

After a few words, he rejected Minato's invitation to go shopping and left in a hurry.

"Boss Lu Lin is really busy."

"Yeah, it's such a nice day, but I don't have time to go shopping."

As they talked, they walked towards another street.

I was in a good mood before I went out, so why am I so unhappy after coming back from shopping?

However, Kushina probably didn't recognize me. Not only did I wear a nightgown and cover my face last night, I also waited until she fell unconscious before I spoke.

If he could be recognized, Lu Lin would not continue playing.

"Forget it. I'm not in a good mood today. I won't go out."

Then he called several maids to give him a massage.

But just as he took off his clothes and lay on the mat, there was a knock on the gate of the courtyard.
