Chapter 43 Crisis, Hard Fight

Naruto discovered that when the two guards were not at home, there were ordinary people at home. It was very easy to do something at their home, but generally speaking, it was meaningless to go to their home when they were not at home. Moreover, this was the Land of Earth, and basically no one would cause trouble to them. If there were assassins, they would target the daimyo, and generally would not target them.

After Naruto's observation, one of the two guards was protecting the daimyo. At this time, there were ordinary people at home. Naruto quickly sneaked into the guard's home. Then he found the room where the guard often lived. There were many washed clothes in the room, and Naruto was looking for the dress for the day of the festival. Naruto found a very beautiful wardrobe in the guard's room. When he opened the wardrobe, there were dresses inside. Obviously, as someone around the daimyo, he must pay attention to his clothes, and the guard also attaches great importance to these dresses.

Although there were no ninjas around, Naruto was still very careful, quickly marking each dress, then returning everything to its original state and leaving quietly. When Naruto returned to the hotel where he was staying temporarily, he realized that he seemed to be too nervous, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

The festival was getting closer and closer, and in order to ensure the success rate of the mission, Naruto once again sneaked into the home of another guard when the two guards changed shifts the next day, intending to do the same thing as yesterday.

Perhaps because yesterday was too smooth, Naruto was not as careful as yesterday, and quickly marked the dress and prepared to leave. Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the house, approaching Naruto quickly, and shouted loudly: "Who's in there?" At the same time, he kicked the door open.

Naruto quickly hid in the corner of the room, performed Flying Thunder God and ran away. Naruto returned to the room in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that a perceptive ninja would appear. This ninja should only go to the guard house occasionally. As a powerful ninja, he must have some friends of the same level. Naruto was careless for a moment and was almost discovered.

The perceptual ninja originally felt that there was someone in the room, but after entering, he found nothing and felt that the person in the room suddenly disappeared. In the end, he just thought it was his own illusion.

After doing all this, there were less than two days left until the day of the sacrifice, and Naruto was still constantly perfecting his plan and rehearsing it countless times in his mind, but Naruto did not know much about the specific strength of Iwagakure, and there were still many unknowns. However, there was only one chance, and Naruto had no choice.

Two days later, the sacrifice officially began. It was a very lively day, with countless people gathered in the city, celebrating the sacrifice and praying for good weather and good harvests every year. While everyone was celebrating, only one person could not suppress his inner tension, put on the black robe he most often used when he was on the move, put on a mask, and hid in a house on the street.

This intersection is the only way for the daimyo to go to the sacrificial site. At the same time, a lot of people gathered here. Many people were here to welcome the daimyo. It can be seen that this daimyo is really popular among the people.

Naruto had already made his own arrangements. The waiting time was unusually long for Naruto. Finally, the daimyo's motorcade appeared. First, a large number of guards cleared the way. When the people who came to greet saw the guards appear, they also consciously made way for them. The guards moved forward slowly.

After the guards, a motorcade began to appear. In addition to the daimyo, some other important figures also had their own cars, and there were a large number of guards and ninjas beside each car. Naruto began to look for the daimyo's car. As the motorcade moved, Naruto's eyes began to lock on a car that was the most luxurious and had the most ninjas around it. If Naruto guessed correctly, this was the daimyo's car.

Naruto took out the Thunder God's Sword, hid in the darkness, held his breath, and prepared for this thundering blow. At the moment when Naruto was about to attack, accompanied by a voice, "Oh no, there is an assassin," followed by several kunai shot at Naruto. Naruto knew from the sound of the wind that the kunai was very powerful and was obviously aimed at him. He didn't expect that he was discovered by the perception ninja of the Land of Earth just as he was about to attack. But Naruto also reacted very quickly. The Thunder God's Sword lit up chakra and blocked these kunai. At the same time, lightning escape also lit up on his body. The shock wave generated by the simple fight between the two destroyed the house where Naruto was hiding, and a cloud of dust was stirred up around. A loud bang and the collapse of the house caused a riot among the people. Regardless of his own safety, Damin shouted: "First cover all civilians to evacuate, and don't let any civilians be harmed."

Seeing this, Naruto was also moved by the Daimyo's love for the people, but since he had already accepted the mission, he had to do his best. However, Naruto also allowed the civilians to evacuate. Naruto did not move for the time being. The Thunder God Sword in his hand was emitting lightning. Although he was wearing a mask, his fluttering black robe made him look extraordinary. The ninjas of the Land of Earth also looked nervous and did not dare to be careless.

After all the civilians had evacuated, the Daimyo of the Land of Earth looked at Naruto in a black robe and said, "I don't know who sent you here, but thank you for not harming my people. However, you came to assassinate me during my sacrifice. You will be sentenced to death no matter what. To show respect, I will definitely give you a good fight soon."

Naruto also felt the extraordinaryness of this daimyo at this time, and raised the Thunder God Sword in his hand and said: "To show my respect for you, I will definitely fight with all my strength."

The Daimyo waved his hand and said, "Ninjas of the Land of Earth, defeat the enemy in front of you."

All the ninjas immediately surrounded Naruto, not letting him escape, and one of the two most powerful guards of the daimyo was also outside the encirclement, ready to take action at any time. They would never allow the person who was hindering the sacrifice to escape. Ever since the daimyo appeared, Naruto had been paying attention to the two guards and found that one of them had bought a new dress. This person was the one who was protecting the daimyo, and the other was preventing Naruto from escaping. In this way, Naruto's plan could not be implemented smoothly.

While Naruto was still thinking, the ninjas from the Land of Earth had already begun their attack.

"Earth Release, Earth Flow Spear" several ninjas launched at the same time. If Naruto was not extremely fast, there would be almost no way for him to escape the range of the ninjutsu. However, the number of opponents was too large. As soon as Naruto dodged one wave, another one came.

"Earth Escape, Earth Dragon Bomb" Several earth dragons rose into the sky and chased Naruto, who was about to dodge.

"Earth escape, earth flow river" A huge earth flow has rushed towards Naruto, and there is no way to dodge it. Naruto increases his chakra, and the Thunder God Armor on his body becomes brighter and brighter. At the same time, he swings the Thunder God Sword and is safe and sound under the bombardment of earth escape.

However, Naruto was also very clear that these were just probing attacks. Those truly powerful ninjas did not make a move at all. They should have killed the enemy with one blow and then escaped immediately, but now they were surrounded and were in a tough battle.
