Chapter 380 Uchiha Aoi's Style
Ebisu certainly hoped that the other party belonged to the latter.
If Konohamaru's performance meets his expectations, it would not only prove his teaching level, but also give an explanation to his old leader after the death of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Come on, Konohamaru."
"Don't bring disgrace upon the Sarutobi family."
"Hold on!"
Time became extremely difficult to endure at this moment. Fortunately, as the battle went on, Ebisu's heart gradually became brighter.
not bad!
Konohamaru, who was experiencing a brutal battle for the first time, gave a performance that met his expectations.
Although he was not used to killing someone for the first time, he managed to get through it; although he triggered the trap set by the bandits due to a mistake, no fatal mistakes occurred. In the process of fighting with the enemy, he was still able to perform to his full potential, knew how to take care of his companions, and tried his best to cooperate.
That's good enough.
As for the flawless performance, with the demeanor of a Kage... he was not crazy. Knowing Konohamaru's level, he would not have any naive hopes for him.
The blood on the ground became thicker.
Wounds also appeared on Udon Moehara's bodies one after another, and Konohamaru's waving arms gradually became deformed.
The enemies were also afraid and panicked. Some of them were even smarter and had already started to retreat when they saw the situation was not good.
Until one moment, two ronin with knives came from behind.
The sword is as bright as silver, and looks like a long sickle and bright moon when it is swung.
Ebisu's pupils shrank instantly, and the next moment, he sighed softly in his heart.
【it's over. 】
The ronin who appeared was obviously not an ordinary bandit. Whether it was his momentum or the speed he displayed while marching, it all showed his strength.
This is a swordsman.
A swordsman whose strength is no weaker than that of an ordinary ninja.
With Konohamaru's current state of struggling, he will not be a match for the opponent.
The truth was exactly what he thought.
When the sword-wielding ronin appeared in Konohamaru's sight, Konohamaru, aware of the other party's speed, immediately felt something was wrong!
He used all his strength to throw the cracked kunai in his hands, and then mobilized all the remaining chakra in his body and quickly formed seals with his hands.
fast!
Faster!!
Finally, the seal was completed before the enemy came.
"Fire Style: Ranju!"
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~~~" A series of fireballs flew out from Konohamaru's hand and shot towards the two enemies in front of him!
This is the only fire-style ninjutsu that he can currently perform, barely reaching C-rank.
It is also his only remaining hope.
The enemy's strength exceeded Konohamaru's expectations. When the fireball flew over, the two ronin were not panicked at all. They were obviously experienced in fighting against ninjas. At the moment the fireball was approaching, they stepped to both sides at the same time in tacit understanding!
Their figures were as fast as the wind, their toes tapping the ground repeatedly, and their bodies drew a symmetrical arc, and in an instant they arrived in front of Konohamaru.
The katana cut off the shuriken shot from the side, and also shattered the kunai that Konohamaru took out again. He raised the katana high, ready to end the opponent's life.
[Is it over?] Konohamaru's numb eyes showed a trace of regret.
He wanted to raise his hands, but his trembling hands were numb under the huge force; he wanted to perform ninjutsu, but neither his body nor his chakra were able to do so.
He knew that his first mission had come to an end.
The wind suddenly rose.
The moment the two ronin were about to chop down with their swords, their faces changed drastically! Then they drew back their swords without hesitation!
He ignored Konohamaru who was unable to fight back and quickly returned!
"Pah." A strong arm supported Konohamaru's shoulders as he was about to fall. The latter slowly turned his head and saw Ebisu's familiar face.
"It's okay." Ebisu said softly.
"Ebisu...Teacher Ebisu. Is it over?" Konohamaru looked a little ugly.
He felt a little ashamed that he had not completed the mission after all.
"Yeah, it's over." Ebisu nodded.
Looking at Konohamaru's ugly face, although he was still a little disappointed, he did not criticize him as usual, but comforted him: "Well done."
"The team killed 29 enemies, and I killed 15 enemies personally. This is a very good result."
Konohamaru didn't know whether Ebisu was comforting him, but he felt a little better when he heard the other party's affirmation.
He turned his head with great effort, and only felt relieved when he saw that his companions Udon and Moegi were fine.
Then, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said: "Teacher Ebisu, the enemy is not clear yet. Those two ronin are not ordinary bandits."
Ebisu said, "It's alright."
Konohamaru looked confused.
"Don't you need to pursue?"
Although their team has basically lost its combat effectiveness, the mission has not been completed.
Including the north side of the mountain, there are a total of 71 enemies, excluding the 29 they dealt with, there are still 42. Especially the two ronin who appeared at the end, they are obviously stronger. As the leader, shouldn't Ebisu continue to chase them?
Of course Ebisu knew what he meant.
However, it is no longer necessary.
He shook his head with a slightly wry smile and said, "No need for me to chase you."
"look."
Receiving Ebisu's eye signal, Konohamaru turned his head in confusion.
Then, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
About fifty meters ahead.
What caught his eye was Uchiha Aoi.
But the other person at this moment no longer looked the same as he was familiar with in the past.
The clean ninja uniform was now covered with bright red bloodstains. The long sword was like a cold moon, cutting through the space. The sleeves of the clothes were like flags, fluttering in the air.
The originally cute bun had its string broken, and her long black hair was flying, and she exuded an icy temperament.
The blade flashed, and two crescent moons seemed to appear at the same time, cutting through the cold air and the throats of the two ronin who had defeated Konohamaru. Before the latter died, his eyes were still wide open, his throat was bleeding, and he looked at Uchiha Aoi's face, his eyes full of fear and disbelief.
"Plop, plop!" The corpse fell to the ground and also hit Konohamaru's heart.
Uchiha Aoi stood there and looked sideways at him.
The buildings and vegetation ignited by the detonating talismans were still burning, and the strong flames made the darkness before dawn even darker.
Amid the blood and burnt smoke, Konohamaru could only see most of Uchiha Aoi's profile.
Her facial features were delicate and almost perfect, and her expression was as cold as a knife. Her eyes were shining with dazzling brilliance under her long black hair blown by the wind.
Blood red like glass.
