Chapter 230 The protagonist on stage
In the ruins of the village in the Land of Rain.
After Shimura Chunin left with three ninjas, there were only fifteen Konoha ninjas left.
Six Konoha ninjas hid in the ruined house. They were the ninjas of each squad who were good at fire escape and lightning escape in a large range, and they were also the heavy firepower guarantee of this squad.
No matter where, no matter when, even when resting, they would be under the protection of other ninjas.
The other nine people were grouped in groups of three, each ten meters apart, hiding around to ensure that they could find and respond in time when abnormal situations occurred, and quickly use ninjutsu to build fortifications.
From the distribution of the resting state of this Konoha squad, it can be seen that the Konoha ninjas, known as the first ninja village, are indeed real.
Even if they are not in combat, they remain vigilant enough. If any point is attacked, they will be hit from several other directions.
Even if they were besieged by enemies that were several times their number, the fire and lightning ninjas in the house had enough time to seal, provide enough firepower to fight back and support until the arrival of reinforcements.
This is why Jiraiya dared to divide into small teams during the day and use a V-shaped dispersed formation to sweep the possible enemies in front.
It is both based on confidence and strength.
Click.
Watching the Yamanaka ninja in charge of the interrogation walk out of the broken house, the Shimura ninja who was sitting outside the house bored got up quickly and asked, "How is it?"
"Very smooth." The Yamanaka ninja nodded and couldn't help but sighed, "I didn't expect that the child could survive the mind-reading technique. I thought he would become an idiot in the middle of the technique..."
"What nonsense."
Before he finished speaking, Shimura ninja raised his hand to interrupt, frowning and said, "Who asked you how the kid is doing? I asked you if he spit out any useful information!"
The Yamanaka Ninja choked and was somewhat dissatisfied, but due to his status as a subordinate at the moment, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "According to that child, at least 500 people are resting in a nearby settlement."
"Moreover, based on his description of the leader's appearance, I estimate that the person is likely to be an important figure of the enemy, the 'Upper Rank' who supported Kagero Village in counterattacking the Takigakure Village troops."
"Five hundred people? Upper Rank?!"
Hearing that there were a full 500 people in front, and led by an "Upper Rank", and then thinking that he was completely unaware.
Shimura Jonin couldn't help but feel scared and cursed, "Doesn't Jiraiya like to brag about his intelligence ability the most? He didn't receive any news about such a big move?"
But soon, the greed for credit overwhelmed the fear, and he grinned, "Hahaha! We've caught a big fish this time!"
If nothing unexpected happens, the five hundred people should be nearly half of the other side's combat power, and they may be the people from Dawn City to support Hanzo and the Hidden Rain Village.
As long as they can find that group of people, set traps and ambush them on their way, and then notify the main force to come, the previous dangers will all be transformed into their combat merits.
The most important thing is that this means they can join the main force and don't need to roll in the mud in fear.
Others also realized this, and a hint of joy rose in their eyes.
"Captain Shimura, do you need to notify the nearest team for support?" One person asked.
But the Shimura Jonin suddenly hesitated.
He really didn't want to spit out this piece of fat meat in his mouth. If he was well prepared, he might be able to swallow it all, but he was worried about the enemy's number that was dozens of times higher than his own...
Cry! Cry!
Just as he hesitated, a crow that was very common in the Rain Country flew from a distance, hovered over their heads and spit out the scroll in its mouth.
Shimura Jonin instantly recognized the crow as the summoning beast of his useless nephew. He caught the fallen scroll and squinted his eyes to open it.
"...A monster called 'ghost'? Afraid of sunlight? So it repairs during the day?"
After a moment, a smile appeared on his face again. He handed the scroll to the Yamanaka ninja beside him and asked him to confirm the authenticity of the information. He snorted coldly: "That kid helped once, so I count it as a credit!"
Although the existence of the "ghost" has always been very secret, as Dawn City gradually appeared in the sight of all forces, no matter how secret it is, it will eventually come to light.
The intelligence departments of several ninja villages are not vegetarians. The information leaked in the battle of Takigakure Village is not small. They have already collected and speculated on the abilities of "ghosts".
They even analyzed the battle traces left in the Whirlpool Country and those terrifying traces like beasts, and concluded that "ghosts" may have appeared five years ago.
However, because Tsunade deliberately concealed it out of selfishness, and Jiraiya did not want the Senju survivors to be persecuted, Konoha did not get the body of the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost, and knew nothing about the appearance of the suspected wood escape power.
The information about "ghosts" is limited to their extremely strong healing power, which can only be killed by cutting off their heads, and they always appear in the dark, mysteriously wearing black robes.
In the eyes of Konoha today, the only tricky thing about "ghosts" is their healing ability. The physical fitness of most "ghosts" is not much different from that of physical skills Chunin.
But "ghosts" can't even use ninjutsu, and their only weapon is their own body.
Such extreme things can be easily dealt with as long as there are not many of them, knowing their information and weaknesses, and preparing in advance.
Shimura Jōnin thought the same. After confirming the authenticity of the information from Koishi, he looked up at everyone and ordered: "Let's go! Let's swallow this piece of fat meat!"
"What should we do with this child?" Yamanaka Ninja dragged Koishi, who was in a coma and pale, out.
Shimura Jōnin just glanced at him, his eyes were like looking at an ant, and sneered maliciously: "Take him with you. Doesn't he have a good relationship with those monsters? Maybe he can be used!"
As soon as the voice fell, dozens of figures disappeared in an instant, leaving only the black crows circling in the air.
The leading Shimura Jōnin was already insidious and cautious enough, but unfortunately, he was eroded by greed and didn't know that he had overlooked two things.
The first thing is that their information is outdated, and even fatal flaws have appeared.
The only one who exposed his ability, "Ye", is more like a simple strong power, and it is impossible to guess that his blood ghost art is directly acting on the flesh. Now there are dozens of "ghosts" who have awakened blood ghost art, even if there are not a hundred.
Each of them has the strength to compete for the title of the Twelve Demon Moons, enough to become the upper and lower strings comparable to the jonin of Konoha.
As for the second thing...
They did not see the scarlet color flashing in the eyes of the so-called summoning beast crow.
Weird, strange, with human anger.
——————
At the same time, in the dead woods near the border of the Rain Country.
In everyone's eyes, Yunchuan, who should have stayed at the back, was now strolling leisurely as if walking in his own back garden. He even changed into a black suit, and the white bouquet on his chest seemed to be going to attend someone's funeral.
It was already dusk at this moment, and looking far away in the direction of the Fire Country, a red sun could be seen.
In the faint clouds, the rays of light were sprinkled, dyeing the depths of the seemingly uninhabited dead woods red, and making Yunchuan seem to be soaked in blood.
[Triggering task: [Hero's twilight]]
[Detailed explanation of the task: Witness the end of [Hanzo the Salamander] and participate in it]
[Task level: Blue]
[Task deadline: 2 hours]
[Completion reward: 4000 points]
"Human power will eventually be exhausted, even if it is a drizzle, it can't be wider than the sky."
Looking at the task panel in his mind, Yunchuan shook his head regretfully, but soon smiled indifferently: "It's a pity, I don't believe in these."
After that, he raised his eyelids slightly, looked into the dark depths, and said in a calm tone: "Do you all like to greet each other like this?"
As soon as the voice fell, in the deep and narrow dead woods, figures clad in black appeared instantly. The robes covered their faces in the dark, and the setting sun cast their loose shadows on and under the trees.
Obviously, Yunchuan has stepped into the blockade of the roots, and the next step is the trap used to trap Hanzo's lion.
The Root Ninja had no intention of talking nonsense with Yunchuan, and instantly recognized the smiling face, the face of the extremely mysterious leader of Dawn City.
But they did not make a seal at the first time, but raised the sleeve that suddenly extended a needle, and stabbed it into the side of the neck without hesitation and without agreement.
Puff! !
The next moment, many fine and hideous bloodshot suddenly appeared in the pupils that were originally as lifeless as corpses, and their breathing gradually became heavy and rapid.
Visible red chakra flowed out of their bodies, like a blood-colored coat covering the surface of their bodies, and the burned and charred skin made them tremble in pain.
But their breath gradually became terrifying, like a beast that had shed its human skin.
"Is this... Tailed Beast Chakra?"
Seeing such obvious changes, Yunchuan raised his eyebrows with interest, as if he understood and couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, Danzo is really desperate. Did he collect the remaining Nine-Tails Chakra through some special means?"
If I guess correctly, these Root Ninjas should have injected some kind of medicine mixed with Nine-Tails Chakra, which can enhance strength in all aspects in a short period of time, but will definitely die after the effect of the medicine ends.
But the current Nine-Tails Jinchūriki is Tsunade. If she knew that Danzo was secretly collecting Nine-Tails Chakra, Danzo would have to lose one eye even if he didn't die.
"The effect looks good, but the side effects should be great. This should be a trump card. Is it really appropriate to use it right away?"
Looking at the Root Ninjas whose rationality was gradually replaced by animality, Yunchuan, who didn't get a response, just shrugged his shoulders and sighed: "A group of zombies whose life and death are not in their own hands, it's boring enough."
The tailed beast chakra on them is probably around three tails?
It's already commendable to be able to do this step.
Of course, they were just dead soldiers.
"Roar!!"
The Root Ninja's body swelled under his black clothes, and after a hoarse beast roar that was irrational and filled with murderous aura, he rushed towards Yunchuan on all fours.
They rushed forward like beasts fighting for prey, and each beast was unwilling to lose its prey, and each beast wanted to kill the prey before its kind rushed over.
Just like they had trained before, grabbing the prey's neck to suffocate the prey, watching the prey's body spasm and bloodshot eyes, and finally tearing the prey's throat with teeth, enjoying the warm feeling of blood gushing out.
One person rushed over the fastest and pounced on his "prey".
But at this moment, the "prey" who looked like no threat to him, slightly raised his eyes and looked at him in the air, with a blood-red light flowing deep in his eyes.
The next moment, an extremely terrifying breath exploded. Even if the ninja had lost his sanity, even as a pure beast, he couldn't help but be terrified.
It was a pity that the root ninja had no time to regret.
The spiritual pressure turned into substance and crushed the ground under his feet, and at the same time made him fly backwards. The next moment, Yunchuan raised his hand and grabbed his head, making him kneel in front of him, looking like a priest facing a confessor.
Yunchuan lowered his eyes and moved his lips slightly, as if he was chanting something.
Kaka!
There was only an extremely short crisp sound, and light shone out from his skull, as if he had a crystal head, and the candle inside lit a candle flame.
His body seemed to be broken like melted steel, and it turned into ashes piece by piece, and finally only the burning skull in Yunchuan's hand was left.
He looked up at the Root Ninjas who subconsciously stopped in place in instinctive fear, and said politely: "Sorry, if it were normal times, I would be very interested in studying it, but now, I'm in a hurry."
While speaking, Yunchuan raised his hand lightly, and a silver-white short knife appeared in his hand.
Without the slightest sign, several Root Ninjas who tried to rush over again in the distance suddenly exploded.
The body was still sprinting, but the body naturally disintegrated.
No screams, no last words.
From bones to muscles, they were all perfectly cut in line with biology, divided into the head, arms, feet, upper chest, lower abdomen...
Puff! Puff! !
Their bodies sprayed scarlet blood everywhere, like several paint water balls that were pierced in the air, and the split pieces of meat moved forward under the action of inertia, and the viscous liquid was dyed red like a gorgeous flower.
A huge amount of blood rushed to the ground like a flood, and finally stopped in front of Yunchuan's feet and split apart, making his smiling face even more red.
Yunchuan didn't even look down for a second. The "magic gun" in his hand dissipated like dust, and he continued to walk towards the battlefield.
Other battlefields have been arranged, and each battlefield has its own protagonist.
Only there, the center of the battlefield, where Sand Village, Konoha, and Rain Village gathered, is the stage for him to announce his appearance.
Yunchuan will give them a big gift. (End of this chapter)
