Konoha Thief

Chapter 113 Ambush

Chapter 113 Ambush

The fair-skinned palm was facing upwards, and a withered yellow leaf fell on it.

Xia Shu lightly pinched the dead leaf with his fingers, and with a squeak, the leaf parted, and the incision was like a knife.

"Although Huo Dun is good, he is too kind. Recently, the center of gravity has shifted a lot. Feng Dun still needs to work hard!"

With a secret urging in his heart, he casually threw away the dead leaves and let them fall down.

"Why don't you go forward?"

Cold words came from inside the luxurious carriage, Sakura waiter lifted the curtain and squeezed out.

The girl is dressed in a military uniform, holding a knife under her armor, and her sassy demeanor emerges spontaneously.

She looked around, and soon locked on the ninjas, and it was these ninjas who stopped the team's pace.

"Please don't be impatient." Tsukihiro Yukihiro glanced at her, then nodded slightly to Keita Hinata who was approaching beside him.

"White eyes!" The latter formed a seal immediately, the corners of his eyes bulged, and his vision turned into a clean black and white state.

After a while, Hyuga Keita lowered his hands and nodded slightly with a solemn expression.

"Detour!" Yueguang Xingbo made a decisive decision to avoid the enemy's edge.

"Why take a detour?" Yingshi frowned and asked, "Xiazhi Forest occupies a vast area. If you take a detour, it will add a day's journey in vain."

The so-called forest of rosy clouds refers to the bleak forest in front of you. The withered fallen leaves are yellowed and still have a touch of deep red. The sunset glow that looks like embers seems to be named after this.

It's a pity that it's a bit late to set foot here, and it's late autumn, and the scenery that burns like a rosy glow still fades away with time.

"There are people with unpredictable origins lurking in the forest, perhaps villains are ambushing the princess." Yueguang Xingbo replied indifferently.

"Since it's a villain, it's fine to get rid of it!" Yingshi snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied with this.

"Sorry, our mission is to escort the princess to the Frost Kingdom safely. It would be unwise to be in danger." Moonlight Xingbo said without hesitation.

Yingshi's complexion was slightly cold, her pretty face was covered with frost, she looked at Yueguang Xingbo for a while, and finally snorted coldly, turned around and entered the carriage without comment.

"If you want to bypass Kasumi Forest, should you take a detour from the south or the north? Considering the distance ahead? Which one is better?" Tsukihiro turned around and asked Aoki Gennosuke and Aoki Gennosuke who had explored the road before. Kosuke Maruyoshi.

"The detour from the north side is closer." Aoki Gennosuke rubbed his chin with his finger and replied, "But considering whether the journey will be smoother...then it should go south."

At this moment a sentence came in.

"That was in the past. If I'm not mistaken, this conclusion is drawn from the map, right?" Musashi approached with a serious face, and then said respectfully: "Not long ago, I passed by the Xia Zhi Forest and asked the local residents , so I know that a small road connecting the main road has been built on the north side of Xiazhi Forest."

Xia Shu took a deep look at the honest-looking samurai.

"Oh? Samurai-sama, are you sure?" Aoki Gennosuke said casually.

"Please don't be so polite, just call me Musashi." The honest samurai hurriedly returned the salute, with a well-deserved flustered gesture.

"Okay, Musashi." Aoki Gennosuke shrugged his shoulders, but did not insist.

"Your Majesty can be sure of this." Musashi continued, "Not long ago, I personally stepped on that path, and it can be used by a team."

"Alright then." Gennosuke Aoki nodded slightly, and looked sideways at Yukihiro Moonlight inquiringly.

"In that case, take a detour from the north of Xiazhi Forest." The latter shrugged without hesitation, and nodded directly.

As a result, the team marched north along the left edge of Xiazhi Forest.

After getting a little farther away, Xia Shu jumped off the slowly approaching carriage and moved to Hyuga Keita's side.

"Is the lurker in the forest still following?" He lowered his voice.

"I only followed for a while, but now I'm heading east." Hyuga Keita was also slightly puzzled, and then added: "It's beyond the limit of Baiyan's insight."

"Yeah." Xia Shu nodded in response, thinking about this weird situation in his mind.

Could it be that you gave up?When this thought came up, he shook his head secretly.

The probability is close to zero, after all, they haven't played against each other yet.

So, is there an ambush elsewhere?

After following for a while, I gave up tracking, but it was enough to determine the approximate direction of the escort team, so... the arrangement is in the north of Xiazhi Forest?

When his thoughts came to this point, he glanced at the honest and reliable samurai again.

Is it a coincidence?Or is there another reason?

There are thousands of clues, and it seems that everything is possible, but it can only be fully confirmed when the time comes.

Xia Zhisen is not easy to walk along the road. The dead leaves falling from the branches are piled up together, like a layer of withered yellow and red plain clothes. It may be deep or shallow with one foot. He also exclaimed several times, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

This is already the case with walking, let alone a carriage.

So Xia Shu and others also saw the face of the princess for the first time.

After several bumps, the luxurious carriage finally came to a halt with a shout.

Sakura waiter lifted the curtain, holding a soft and boneless hand.

The innocent girl looked at the outside world timidly, then quickly buried her head and hid behind Yingshi, looking at the world like a newborn cub.

The two sisters with different temperaments appeared and instantly grabbed everyone's attention.

It's just that after the warriors reacted, they all bowed their heads in fear, not daring to take a second look.

"That's it, princess? Sure enough..." Kuno Kuroyu's eyes lit up, then wiped the corners of his mouth, and glanced at Saito Kyoko quietly, with resentment in his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile that should have happened .

However, who knows, this glance was captured by Saito Kyoko's keen intuition. She frowned and looked at the gentle and innocent princess, and secretly compared herself—the expression froze for a moment, and then...

All of a sudden!When she looked at Kuno Heiyu, she became fierce!

Kuno Heiyu trembled all over, looked around warily, but found nothing, and immediately became puzzled, why did he inexplicably feel a chill down his back?

Sakura waiter was calm and composed, rolled up the trousers and sleeves for the innocent girl, held her hand, and walked forward slowly, even more steady than those warriors.

At dusk, the distant sky is full of rays of light, and the glow of the forest reflects the rays of the sun, which adds a little bit of the scenery of the past.

Natsuki was not the only one who speculated that there was a hidden danger in the north of Xiazhi Forest.

At this moment, Hyuga Keita followed Tsukihiro Yukihiro's order, broke away from the team, sneaked into the withered forest with two tacitly accompanied teammates, and observed the northern end of Kasumi Forest that was close at hand with supercilious insight.

"There is an ambush!" This unexpected result made Hinata Keita's face serious, his eyes were bulging with veins, and he looked a little hideous, and then added: "And, it's a ninja!"

When Kurama Nozomi and Saito Kyoko heard this, their faces changed!
