Chapter 429

Just when Kato Dan and the rich ninja were confronting each other.

Kato Dan suddenly found that there was something wrong under their feet.

The next moment, four figures slowly emerged from the ground.

Kato Dan's eyebrows jumped.

They had no marks on their bodies, not even forehead protectors. Generally speaking, only unorganized Wandering Ninjas would not wear forehead protectors. If they were rebels, they would cut a knife on their forehead protectors.

'This is the [Earth Escape·Underground Submarine] technique, and it is very authentic. Could it be that the Rock Ninja pretended to be the Wandering Ninja, and then pretended to be the Sand Ninja to trick me into taking action? Even if it was exposed later, it could be pushed to the Wandering Ninja? ! '

For a moment, he was a little numb.

Not only that.

There was also movement in the scattered goods, as if something was about to get out of them.

A few breaths passed, and under Kato Dan's gaze, ten ninjas walked out of the supplies.

Everyone looked at Kato Dan with a grin and slowly surrounded him.

‘Thirteen ordinary jonin, one of them is an elite ninja, and one is a wealthy chunin…’

Seeing this scene, Kato Dan’s bad premonition has come true.

Although he is also an elite jonin, most of his energy is spent on [Spiritual Transformation Technique].

“You are not ordinary wandering ninjas, you should be mercenary ninjas?!” Kato Dan asked coldly.

Humans are social creatures, and there are few lone ranger ninjas.

Therefore, those wandering ninjas will also find suitable people to be their teammates and take on higher-paying tasks.

"Hehe... Kato Dan, right... Don't even think about escaping from us.

Your employer has already given us your information in detail!"

The sturdy man in the lead said with a grin: "Konoha's jonin, Kato Dan, has chakra attributes of fire, earth, and wind. Because he can use the forbidden soul technique [Spiritualization Technique], he became an elite jonin, and his level of danger is close to that of a top-level Kage."

Speaking of this, he said in amazement: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk... Unfortunately, this technique has a big disadvantage, that is, if you use this trick, your body will become your fatal weakness!

Once we attack your body, you will really die..."

At the end, he looked straight at Kato Dan, "I wonder if I'm right!?"

Kato Dan's face became very ugly. Only he and the Hokage knew the disadvantages of the [Spiritualization Technique].

Oh, and Tsunade.

Others can't know! How did they know?

Could it be that the Hokage backstabbed me? !

But soon, he shook his head.

Impossible, Lord Hokage is not that kind of person!

Tsunade's words... she is even more impossible!

Looking at Kato Dan whose face changed drastically, the corner of the mercenary boss's mouth rose slightly.

'It seems that the information is correct, the employer did not lie to us! '

In this case, the mission will be much easier.

Kato Dan, who cannot use the [Spiritualization Technique], will reduce the danger to their team many times.

"Did the people of the Sand Village hire you?" Kato Dan held the kunai and asked coldly.

The most likely person who could know my information was the Sand Ninja who had fought many times.

Among them, he noticed that Chiyo's eyes were full of coldness every time she looked at him.

The mercenary boss still had that grim smile on his face. He said lightly: "We mercenaries are professional and will never reveal the information of the employer!"

As he said that, he waved his hand and took five senior ninjas to besiege Kato Dan.

On the way forward, the five of them immediately formed seals. They completed the seals in just three steps.

"【Earth escape·hardening technique】!"

Looking at such a skilled and authentic earth escape technique, Kato Dan immediately overturned his previous thoughts.

A skilled and authentic technique once may be a coincidence, but twice it cannot be a coincidence.

"You are from the Rock Ninja!"

As he said, he immediately raised the kunai and took the initiative to attack.

Now ten people surrounded him to prevent him from escaping. An elite jonin led four jonins to attack him. If he didn't injure this elite jonin, he would not be able to get away.

"Hehe, if you want to know who I am, go to the underworld and ask the King of Hell!"

Kato Dan's kunai directly pierced the opponent's fist, but the opponent's fist was black and hard.

His kunai was almost broken.

[Hardening Technique] is the signature move of the Rock Ninja. Many people can do it, but it is difficult to practice it to the hardness of the mercenary boss in front of you, so that it can resist the attack of sophisticated ninja tools.

[Hardening Technique] alone is not enough, because the Rock Ninja has hidden the most important secrets of hardening.

If you are not a Rock Ninja, you will not be able to obtain this part of the secret without high achievements and loyalty.Therefore, the Wandering Ninja, the earth-style ninja from another country, could only practice this technique to the point where they could resist the chopping of ordinary kitchen knives.

Thinking of this, Kato Dan was speechless.

At first, he thought that the Sand Ninja wanted to save their companions, so they disguised themselves as Wandering Ninja.

In the middle, he thought that the Wandering Ninja accepted the Sand Ninja's mission, so they disguised themselves as Wandering Ninja, making himself think that they were disguised by the Sand Ninja.

Afterwards, all this can be pushed onto the Sand Ninja, which is a kind of thief crying "catch the thief".

Now, it turns out that it was the Rock Ninja who disguised himself.

Good guy, this nesting doll is so good that even he is inferior.

His CPU almost smoked.

The four Genin just now were obviously the unlucky guys they deliberately found.

I don't know what the rich Chunin businessman said, anyway, it made the four Genin think that they would definitely succeed if they went to save people.

This also explains why the rich businessman, Chunin, killed the man without hesitation after luring him out.

Because he wanted to silence him.

His words about letting the soldiers fight the opponent were obviously a joke to himself, or an excuse to delay time.

The Rock Ninja wanted to provoke a war between Konoha and Sand Ninja!

As long as he died, they could arrange traces that it was the Sand Ninja who took action.

After all, they are still wearing a vest.

The Wave Ninja.

Even without doing this, just reveal that it was the Sand Ninja who hired them to come and kill Kato Dan.

Then once this matter is exposed.

Konoha will ask the Sand Ninja for an explanation no matter what.

And on the Sand Ninja side, Chiyo hated Konoha very much, after all, her son and daughter-in-law died in Konoha's hands.

In addition, she was in a high position and was a member of the Sand Ninja elders.

Facing Konoha's fabrication, they will definitely resist to the end.

At that time, there is a high probability that the war will start again!

If someone with ulterior motives instigates the war, it will become inevitable.

There is only one thing that he cannot figure out. Where did this group of rock ninjas disguised as mercenary ninjas get his information from! ?

While thinking, he kept moving around under the siege of five people.

However, these five people are just ordinary jonins.

Facing one alone, he can easily kill the opponent with a few moves.

But now the opponent has increased his defense, which increases the difficulty of his attack. He has teammates to help him. The most important thing is that there is an elite jonin on the opposite side to restrain him.

For a while, he was in trouble.

He forced the elite jonin to retreat and immediately wanted to use ninjutsu to get himself out.

But the person on the opposite side obviously saw through his thoughts.

He immediately called out: "Don't let him use ninjutsu, stop him!"

For a while, the remaining four ordinary jonins immediately launched a more rigorous attack on him.

Everyone never defended and punched with all their strength.

As a result, Kato Dan, an elite jonin, had no time to seal and could only deal with it.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder how the second generation faced the attack of the brothers Jin and Yinjiao, as well as 20 elite jonin!

He was already in a mess just facing four ordinary jonin and one elite jonin.

But he was able to die together with the people on the opposite side.

'It seems that there is still a big gap between me and Ying! '

Deep in the dense forest.

A black shadow quietly hid behind a tree.

Watching the fluctuations of the battle from a distance.

Fortunately, there was a fire there, which allowed her to see clearly.

'This group of wandering ninjas have a deep control over the earth attribute. If I wasn't the employer, I might have thought they were all ninjas from the Land of Earth in disguise! '

By the way, where did they get the advanced version of [Hardening Technique]?

As she pondered, a chill flashed in her eyes that was even colder than the moonlight.

‘This place is quite far from Konoha. Kato Dan might immediately evacuate to Konoha after breaking through…’

Once Konoha’s people pick him up, then her own plan…

Thinking of this, she became ruthless. All these people must die!

“Use your lives to help me consume his back hand!”

She whispered something softly.

After she had an idea in mind, she slowly retracted her cheek and silently sank into the darkness.

Slowly disappeared into the dense forest.
