36 Preparation for closing the net

Shimurari was startled while he was running. He subconsciously picked up the kunai in his ninja bag and flew away the three-pronged kunai.

Ping!

Seeing the kunai being sent flying, Shimura's eyes narrowed. A special kunai that he had never seen before?

This special kunai of the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato was not something that should have appeared in this era.

But without giving Shimura any extra time, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

The next moment, Shimurari felt a sharp pain from the dislocation of internal organs in his abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, his body fell downwards, breaking an unknown number of branches along the way.

Shimura Ri, who fell to the ground, coughed out another mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with disbelief, "This... this move is..."

It was faster than what I saw when I ambushed Uchiha three days ago.

There’s no mistake, it’s that guy’s technique!

call out! call out! call out!

From above, several more special three-pronged kunai that he had never seen before came at him.

But he did not attack Shimura Ri himself, but instead nailed the lawn, tree trunks and other places around him.

Whoosh!

A black shadow flashed on a tree branch about seven to eight meters high above Shimura Rimae.

Seeing the familiar Uzumaki mask, Shimura Ri gritted his teeth and got up from the ground, "This, this is... Kite, what do you mean?!"

He also wondered how the information could be leaked to Yuyi so quickly. When he thought about it in relation to the current situation, everything made sense.

But the only thing that Shimura couldn't understand was, what are the benefits of this guy doing this?

Isn't he from the four northwest tribes?

Isn't he an ally on his side?

So is he actually Hagoromo's man?

But why didn't Yuyi come to help when he lost so much combat power just now?

There were so many questions that Shimura Ri's brain almost exploded.

"hey-hey,"

Quan Na only let out two inexplicable laughs. He did not concentrate the chakra on his neck, but his own original sound.

The next moment, it had disappeared into the tree trunk and appeared on the lawn behind Shimura Ri, where a three-pronged flying thunder god kunai was also inserted.

Whoosh!

He picked up the kunai stuck on the ground and threw it towards Shimura Ri.

This is the second time he has seen this technique. As a quasi-shadow leveler, Shimura Ri is not stupid enough to be hit so many times in a row.

He immediately jumped into the air and escaped from the supply track of the Flying Thunder God Kunai.

“Good choice.”

Quan Nai's first move was dodged, but there was no hint of displeasure on his face.

Suddenly disappeared again.

In mid-air, Shimura's pupils suddenly tightened, and his gaze was fixed on the kunai inserted in various directions on the lawn below.

From where will he appear?

"Where are you looking?"

However, a sound like the death knell of hell came from higher up behind his head.

"How can it be……?!"

Shimurari turned around in mid-air in shock.

Before he finished speaking, I saw a blue ball as big as a palm in the palm of Izuna's right hand, with blade-like wind blades spinning around on the four sides to caress the chakra ball, which was already pressed against his chest.

"Wind Release Rasengan!"

"Uhhhhhhh!!"

The twisting pain from his heart made Shimurari scream and his body spin in mid-air.

Until Quan Nai pressed his body down and landed heavily on the ground for the second time.

Rumble~~~

More than ten seconds after the two landed, the smoke gradually dissipated.

Shimura stood up and lay on the ground with a large, twisted hole in his heart.

"Before coming down, leave a flying thunder god kunai on the top of the tree. Is it difficult to do this?"

In her own native voice, Izuna mocked Shimura Ri's corpse: "As the first person to die in the second section of Flying Thunder God, I should feel honored."

…

At the inn that had long been destroyed, Hagoromo Masashige stared at the twenty-one corpses of the two Sarutobi and Shimura clans on the ground with a lifeless look on his face.

The remaining dozen or so Hagoromo jonin remained silent in the face of such a clan leader.

No wonder Hagoromo Masashige is like this.

He didn't expect that Yuyi's losses would be so great in this operation.

Not only his confidant Hagoromo Naoyasu, but also the fifty family jounin he brought out, now only one-third are left!

Even if the Uchiha were defeated, it would be a bitter victory. Within a few years, the Hagoromo clan would be unable to start another war.

At this time, Izuna, dressed in black robes, fell from the sky and threw Shimura Ri's body out of his hand.

No, it can't be said to be a corpse, just a head.

After all, the circular wound caused by the Rasengan was too obvious, and Izuna didn't want to leave a hidden danger.

So he cut off the head directly, burned the body with fire escape, and only retrieved the head.

"Shimura Ri..."

Seeing the head thrown to the ground for Shimura to deal with, everyone in Hagoromo was naturally shocked at first, and then focused their attention on Izuna.

"Excuse me, Mr. Yuan."

Masashige Hagoromo suppressed his anger and did not ask why the other party did not take action in the first place.

Otherwise, I'm afraid not so many people on my side would die.

"The loss of twenty jounin, not to mention Sarutobi Shimura, even the Uchiha Senju and his ilk cannot bear it."

Izuna returned to her hoarse voice, "Oh, in this case, the status of Furukawa and Keizang will also be in jeopardy."

With that said, Izuna turned to look at Hagoromo Masashige, "The cooperation between us has ended, and I believe we will never meet again."

"That's really a pity. After Mr. Yuan takes charge of the two clans, I hope Hagoromo can form an alliance with the nobles."

Now that Hagoromo's strength has been greatly reduced, Hagoromo Masashige wants to win over the opponent more than offend him.

"I'm not from those two tribes, don't get me wrong!"

Izuna's voice suddenly increased and she refuted it, but to the ears of Hagoromo Masashige and others, it was just "there is no three hundred taels of silver here."

After saying this, Izuna left with the Flying Thunder God, while Hagoromo Masashige believed that this was because he had exposed his identity and the other party had a guilty conscience.

"Clan leader, now..."

A Hagoromo jounin asked.

"Dispose of the bodies of our clan members. I'll go back to the camp first. Otherwise, the bastards from the four clans will discover us and cause trouble."

"yes!"

"Although the hidden danger has been eliminated for the time being, it's not time to rest yet. Uchiha is currently short of food. After we return, we must gather all our combat power to attack Stone City and kill those four tribes."

Speaking of this, Hagoromo Masashige's tone was a bit high-spirited, "When the time comes, together with the two Sarutobi Shimura clans ruled by Tobi, we Hagoromo will become the third largest clan in the Warring States Period comparable to Hinata."

"yes!!"

The remaining ten or so Jounin of Hagoromo were also excited by Hagoromo Masashige's words, thinking that this sacrifice was worth it.

Little did they know, the real predator was already preparing to close the net.
