Konoha Thief

Chapter 257

Chapter 257

"Ah!" Kari roared angrily and threw his fist, but the fist was empty, and the explosive escape chakra that could not be poured flickered. Although he pressed it, but Kari's face became obviously red, obviously there was an error in the control of Chakra .

Blood gushed out from his left shoulder, instantly staining half of his body red. Although the saber just shifted away, it still cut on his body. The difference is that Xia Shu's target was the heart, but it was Kari's left shoulder that was cut. shoulders.

The hard shoulder blades pushed against Natsuki's ninja sword, but the injury was still not serious. Even if it would not make Karizuru defenseless, his movements would definitely be affected.

To put it simply, if you want to keep Shou, you would have to pay the price of three or even four lives among the six of them, but now it is less than three lives.

It's not that Konoha Ryu and Liu are not powerful enough, but that Kari is too strong. Blast escape is a powerful blood-successor limit, and Kari has developed blast escape to an extremely strong level, so even if he is injured at this moment, his strength is still not to be underestimated. Look, especially the kind of weird ninjutsu that is infected by the explosive escape chakra when it encounters it, it is even more difficult to deal with.

Therefore, facing Kari with his eyes wide open, as if planning to fight to the death, Xia Shu suddenly withdrew his sword.

With his movements, the cold murderous aura quietly subsided.

"Bakudenshou really deserves its reputation." Natsuki sighed, and didn't say harsh words. On the surface, he didn't violate the one-stroke agreement, even though there is always a practice in the ninja world to treat the agreement as waste paper.

He dodged sideways and landed on a branch of a tree, looking harmless, staring at the hunter who raised his hand to cover his shoulder, and didn't say a word.

But this simple action made the atmosphere seem to freeze.

"Hmph!" Satoshi didn't know whether the other party intended to abide by the agreement, or was looking for flaws, but since the other party had already given way, he didn't hesitate, as if he didn't care whether the other party was planning or not, and he was extremely bold.

The worm of the oil girl Ryoma quietly flew over, flying in front of Xia Shu's eyes, sending out a message of inquiry.

Natsuki didn't respond immediately, he stared at Kari who was walking forward step by step, when Kari walked past him, the look of anticipation in his eyes dissipated, and he raised his hand and made a gesture to the other side.

The command conveyed by the gesture was to retreat, so he immediately jumped back and hid in the woods.

The two sides parted at this point, and the root team led by Xia Shu won the final victory. Even though the biggest battle was not won, the task was completed.

The root team broke away from the battle, and Xia Shu led his men through Yuyin Village and returned to the territory of the Fire Nation before stopping to rest.

In the battle with Iwanin, except for Natsuki and Yuyue Ryoma, all suffered injuries to varying degrees. The most serious one was not Kura Colorful with a broken arm, but Kakigani Koshi, who claimed to be good at physical skills, water escape and trapping.

The Iwanin who approached Kashigaya Yue was named Iwagakushi Jōnin, and his strength was quite extraordinary. After the encounter between the two, Kashigiya Yue fell into a disadvantage in an instant, but barely supported it.

Afterwards, if it wasn't for Cang Colorful's support and the use of illusion to interfere, Kakiniya Yue might not have had time to release the water escape.

And so, Shigu Yue still lost, it was Cang Duocai, the sensory ninja, who took the risk that Shigu Yue seized the opportunity and eliminated his opponent.

Then there was the corner of Kuromu, the lightning escape technique that largely determined the direction of the battle, which caused him trauma, compared to Ishihara Rongzheng's only minor injuries.

After a simple treatment of the wound and an hour of repairing, the team set off immediately and went straight to Konoha.

Back to Konoha, after handing over the task, Xia Shu left the base.

He was not at all interested in the confidential information that the walking priestess brought back from Yanyin. As a ninja with a clear view of his own status, he knew the bad truth of knowing too much.

Besides, so what if you know?

With Danzo's curse seal on his body, even if he wants to do something, he must first consider how to remove this obstacle, otherwise he may kill himself.

Cherishing his life is not a shameful thing for him, so it is better to act cautiously, and instead of pondering Yan Yin's information, he should take advantage of the abundant time to pave the way for the Loulan mission.

Hot pot, a new type of delicacy, has become popular in Konoha. As the endorsement of Konoha's foodie, the Qiudao family supports half of the hot pot restaurant.

So when Xia Shu came to the store, he was not surprised at all when he saw those round and attractive customers.

He swept his eyes and didn't see his target, so he didn't go up.

After a hearty meal, he went home to rest to ease the urgency of going out to perform tasks.

In the early morning of the next day, accompanied by the rare coolness of the day, he came to the east side of Konoha Village. The small courtyard located here was the home of Kosuke Maruhoshi.

He knocked on the door, and the door opened after a while, revealing a kindly smiling Maruyoshi Kosuke.

"Good morning, Master." Xia Shu said hello with a smile.

"Okay." Kosuke Maruhoshi looked at him, "Just came back from the mission?"

"Yeah." Xia Shu nodded, and followed Maruhoshi Kosuke into the courtyard.

As a ninja, even between master and apprentice, they are not allowed to disclose the secret missions performed, so Maruhoshi Kosuke didn't ask too much.

"Come in, you are in time." Kosuke Maruhoshi greeted with a smile.

"Hehe, I came here for my meal." Xia Shu smiled, his eyes sparkled, and his face was full of anticipation: "Do you also eat stew in the morning?"

Speaking of which, he hadn't eaten Maruyoshi Kosuke's stew for a long time, and when he suddenly thought of it, he couldn't help but salivate. Of course, this was also because he had already smelled the aroma wafting from the courtyard.

So the answer to his question can already be determined, it is Maruhoshi Kosuke's specialty stew.

"Full of memories." Xia Shu resisted burning his mouth, sucked and ate, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

Maruyoshi Kosuke smiled and didn't say much, squatting on the ground with the bowl in his hand and eating slowly by himself.

Ninja is a high-pressure occupation. During missions, encountering danger, seeing blood and plundering the original fresh life, that kind of exciting but corrosive and insensitive life often makes people feel like It seems like a lifetime away.

"I didn't expect you to come, and the preparations are a bit short." The two quickly ate up a pot of stew, and Kosuke Maruhoshi started to cook again, "But there is vegetable soup, just add a little fire , just wait a moment."

"Yeah." Xia Shu didn't have enough to eat, so he respected the chef even more, holding the bowl and looking forward to it.

Kosuke Maruyoshi finished it quickly, snapped the lid on the pot, and then waited.

"What happened on this mission?" Maruyoshi Kosuke had already imparted all his abilities, so Xia Shu came here early in the morning, obviously needing his help.

"Master, I used that trick." Xia Shu's expression was restrained, and a serious look appeared on his face.
