Konoha Thief

Chapter 232 Attitude

Chapter 232 Attitude

The corner of the black eyes entered the cave from the rain, came straight to the fire, and then fell into silence, the cold breath, even the temperature emitted by the flames could not drive away, but the flames flickered.

Because of the mask, Natsuki couldn't see the face and expression of the corner of the black eye, but he could guess a thing or two.

He came to the fire and picked firewood, which made the flames bigger. Without saying anything, he got up and walked towards Shiina.

"If it wasn't for Inuzuka to cut off the queen for us..." Shiina said something, and then fell silent.

"Root" ninjas are cold tools, but people are not tools after all. In addition, the ninja world is turbulent, and Danzo has no time to cultivate such emotionless killing tools like Sai.

Comrades died in battle, and even their bodies were left in foreign countries. This desolate atmosphere made the cave silent.

"What happened?" Natsuki asked again, and couldn't help but glance at the root ninja with purple patterns on the mask next to him.

The mansion of Elder Yu Yin was already remote, and the assassination was no time wasted at all, and it took only a quarter of an hour to add up, so although a feint attack at the main entrance was dangerous, it only needed to deal with a three-person patrol team and a few guards guarding the main entrance. , and the secret whistle lurking in the mansion.

Even if Orochimaru hides his strength, the strength of both sides is still equal, but Inuzuka Xi still stays there, so there must be an accident.

"A group of Urenin suddenly appeared, and Hanzo's right hand was among them, and that's why they got into a hard fight. As for why the other party appeared there... I don't know." Shiina was exhausted, sighed and shook her head.

Xia Shu glanced away, and suddenly noticed Fukuyama Hidemo's eyes, he glanced at the lonely Orochimaru intentionally or unintentionally.

This action made Natsuki thoughtful. Obviously, not only Inuzuka Yudango, but Orochimaru also contributed a lot during the retreat. The unique ninjutsu made Fukuyama Hidemo guess his identity.

Withdrawing his thoughts, because of insufficient information, he could not touch the shadow under the matter, and he turned to ask another matter that puzzled him.

"Did you find Senior Wucun before you got away?" When he said this, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the ninja from Wucun's team over there, and the latter leaned against the cave wall alone as if he didn't hear him.

"No." Shiina was surprised, and then wondered: "Isn't he with you?"

As he said that, he glanced at the cave, and when he saw that there was only one person left in Wucun's team, he couldn't help being stunned.

"He..." Shiina turned her head to look at the boy in surprise.

"I don't know." Xia Shu shook his head and said, "He didn't say anything, but the assassination was successful."

"It's enough for the ninja to perform the task." The ninja suddenly said indifferently, and then fell silent again.

Shiina also fell silent. What the other party said was correct. A ninja is a tool for carrying out missions. It is enough to know what the mission needs to know, and more... Knowing too much is never a good thing.

Natsuki squinted at the ninja, and already knew that they might have been used unknowingly, and the real mission of Takemura Shinsuke to come to Yuyin Village was probably not to assassinate the elder Yuyin who instigated the invasion of the border of the Fire Kingdom, or The assassination of Matsuo Okashi was part of his real mission.

These thoughts are messy, but for some reason, Xia Shu actually thought of Danzo's calculation of the Akatsuki organization that claims to build a bridge to peace. Perhaps this time is the origin of the collusion between Danzo and Yuyin.

Putting this matter aside, because the ninja did not disclose the news of Takemura Shingen at all, after discussing, they decided to rest for one night and set off tomorrow morning.

After getting back into the sleeping bag again, Xia Shu quickly fell into a light sleep.

The next day was gloomy, but it did not continue to rain, which made the sensory ninjutsu methods of several teams effective, so the subsequent journey was particularly smooth.

Obviously, Danzo still needs them very much, and Takemura Shingen's mission does not require some kind of political sacrifice. From this, it can also be inferred that no matter what agreement Danzo intends to reach with Hanzo, his attitude is firm, even if the agreement is in some kind of To a certain extent, it also satisfies the interests of Hanzo.

As for the interests of Hanzo, although it is not certain, it should be related to the internal turmoil in the Kingdom of Rain, especially this time it also involved a conflict with Konoha.

Hanzo's reputation has spread throughout the ninja world, but his style of doing things tends to be conservative. In other words, although he is powerful, he still cannot reach the level of Senjujuma and Uchiha Madara... In Natsuki's view, putting Hanzo and those two Being together is an insult to the latter.

Since the Second Ninja World War, Hanzo, who has been trying to gain a certain status for the Kingdom of Rain in the international arena, is absolutely unwilling to see Ugashi and Konoha go to war. This kind of move is not only unwise, but even It may become an incentive to trigger a larger-scale war. Even if the losses caused by the Second Ninja World War have not been healed over time, if there are benefits to be found, the other major powers may not necessarily turn a blind eye.

Of course, these are just Xia Shu's guesses, and I'm afraid he will never know what the truth is.

When he was about to return to the border line, the ninja of Takemura's team finally stopped being silent.

"Captain Wucun ordered you to return directly to Konoha, and this mission is over." The ninja said indifferently.

Before he finished speaking, Orochimaru suddenly appeared behind him, and a thick snake wrapped around the ninja.

"You should have said this earlier." Raising his hand and slightly removing the mask, Orochimaru, who revealed half of his face, licked his lips, a chilling smile appeared on his handsome face.

This happened suddenly, but the others were all experienced ninjas, and their reactions were not slow. When Orochimaru's voice sounded, they backed away directly, giving the open space to Orochimaru.

"My lord, please let him go." Shiina let go of the handle of the knife and said in a pleading tone.

This surprised everyone, but they did not relax their guard.

"He is one of the Sannin, Orochimaru." Fukuyama Hidemo suddenly said in a deep voice.

These words seemed to bring a haze, making everyone tense up.

"Hehe, relax." Orochimaru smiled hoarsely, the snake wrapped around the ninja raised its head, opened its terrifying mouth, showing sharp fangs, and Orochimaru said with a smile: "This is not for You, it's just that some people have played tricks on me, so I have to express my attitude."

After the words fell, the snake baring its fangs hissed and threw itself on the ninja's neck. The sharp fangs pierced into the artery. Such a wound, even if the snake venom is not mentioned, the wound alone is enough to kill a person.
