Konoha Thief

Chapter 556 Assassination

Chapter 556 Assassination

In the twilight of the morning, Muye Village is still shrouded in silence. The cold wind blows through, causing the mist to flow slowly. A few birds chirping cheerfully, fluttering their wings and flying through the mist, creating a unique scenery.

The gate of Konoha Village opened with a unique creaking sound, and the third Hokage, who was guarded by five Anbu ninjas, slowly raised his head and looked at the road leading to the village.

"Third Hokage-sama, are you ready?" A burly Anbe ninja asked Hiruzaru Sarutobi.

"Well, let's go." Hiruzaru Sarutobi supported his bamboo hat and stepped forward.

Two Anbu ninjas guard the front and back, and the remaining three Anbu ninjas are responsible for secret guarding, investigation, and pathfinding, so the journey is smooth, crossing rivers, bypassing mountains and rivers, crossing fields, and entering a quiet forest in the afternoon .

Hidden by the lush branches and leaves, more than a dozen ninjas wearing a lining that was the same color as the tree and brown plate armor on the outside, saw Hiruzaru Sarutobi and others walking on the road in the forest through the gaps in the leaves.

Xia Shu glanced sideways at the eye armor, exchanged glances with it, then raised his hand to issue a gesture command, assigning everyone tasks.

The next moment, several people jumped down and blocked the front and back roads of Sarutobi Hiruzen and others.

"Enemy attack!" The Anbu ninja who was following behind shouted loudly, and before he finished speaking, two enemies rushed towards him.

At the same time, several other people rushed into the woods. After a few breaths, the sound of sharp blades colliding came out, entangled the three Anbu ninjas who had left the team but were attracted back by the sound.

Kunai and the shuriken flew through the air, making a sharp sound. A root ninja with a physique different from ordinary people smashed his fists like hammers on the ground, and immediately blasted a big hole. The Anbe ninja had no choice but to He was able to dodge, but finally retreated steadily amid fear, and was forced into the woods.

So not long after, there was only Sarutobi Hiruzen left on the road, looking around while supporting the bamboo hat.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed a slight movement of the instant body technique. He turned around and saw, among the falling leaves, a short and thin enemy who was probably a young man fell on the ground. Together, fingers intertwined.

"Wood Escape Technique!"

A completely unexpected ninjutsu appeared in front of his eyes, three sharp wooden sticks broke through the ground behind the boy, and quickly stabbed Hiruzen Sarutobi!

At the same time, Xia Shu, who was standing on a branch of a big tree beside the road, quietly watched the attack below. He also watched with him a slug the size of a forearm on his shoulder. cute.

"It's really shocking, it turned out to be Mu Dun." Slug exclaimed in a soft voice, but then shook his head, as if shaking his head, "But compared with the ninjutsu of the first generation of adults, the one in front of me is simply unbearable. Into the eye."

"Hehe, I didn't expect that even you would say such sarcastic words." Xia Shu smiled and looked at the slug lying on his shoulder.

"It's just an objective evaluation. The wooden escape of the first generation can create a vibrant forest. The biggest use of this ninja's wooden escape may be to build houses. After all, building a house only needs wood." Slug shook his head. Said.

"Okay, it's time for me to send you to Tsunade's side." Natsuki reached out and took the slug off his shoulder, and patted the slug with one hand, "Slug·Space Transformation Technique!"

With a bang, the slug turned into smoke and dissipated in the wind.

Looking down at the bottom, I saw that A performed the wood escape · Great Forest technique at this moment, but was torn apart by Kakashi, who had removed the image of Sarutobi Hiruzen and turned into a disguise, with Chidori, and knocked him to the ground with his backhand.

Xia Shu murmured: "It's time to end, this farce."

"Where did you learn the art of wood escape?" Kakashi asked, looking into the boy's eyes through the mask under the flickering light of thunder and lightning, with Chidori in his hand.

The young man in front of him who uses the wood escape technique that only the first generation of Naruto masters can do, he has already met Danzo before, but he still doesn't know how the other party learned the wood escape technique.

At this moment, a flat voice suddenly came from behind.

"Stop it, Kakashi."

Hearing these words, the hairs on Kakashi's back immediately stood on end, he rushed forward, turned around in the space, his feet fell to the ground and slipped for a while, and when he stabilized his body, the ninja sword on his back was drawn out , vaguely aimed at the person who appeared.

'what happened?He didn't realize when the other party appeared at all! ' Kakashi's heart trembled, but he calmed down quickly.

In his mind, at this moment, the person who taught him the relevant skills as the guardian walking in the darkness suddenly said the most serious sentence to him: no matter how powerful the enemy is, shrink back Neither fear nor fear has any meaning. Only by calming down can we find the flaws, and only by grasping the flaws can we come back against the wind!

However, when he was thinking this way, the person who appeared suddenly shook his head at him, and immediately ignored him, but waved to the young man who used the wood escape technique.

Looking at the two retreating figures, Kakashi hesitated for a moment, and put away his ninja sword.

The identity of the enemy is obvious, their mission has been declared a failure, and there is no point in continuing to entangle.

At this moment, the Third Hokage, who was advancing from the secret route, had probably arrived at the Daming Mansion, and they still needed to rush there to meet and protect the Third Hokage who had completed the reset ceremony. There was no time to waste.

Several Anbu ninjas got rid of the entanglement and returned to the road in the forest. Kakashi said a few perfunctory words to them who didn't know the details, and then continued to rush towards the Daimyo Mansion.

At the same time, people who broke away from the roots of the battle gathered somewhere in the forest to discuss countermeasures.

"There was an error in the intelligence, and we were misled." Xia Shu said lightly, "However, Lord Danzo ordered us to make sure the mission is successful, so the current situation can only be repaired."

"What should we do?" Hearing Natsuki mention Danzo's name, Genbu ninja codenamed 'Ding' asked hurriedly.

Xia Shu glanced at him, then scanned the other Ten Tengans, especially paused on 'Ren', and then said slowly: "Our task is to end the third generation of Hokage, and the current situation is that the intelligence is on a business trip, and there is no time to stop it. The Third Hokage went to the Daimyo Mansion to accept the ceremony, so the only chance we have left is to complete the mission on the way home."

"With what happened just now, the Third Hokage must have been prepared, and the next one may be a fierce battle." The oil girl Ryoma said in a deep voice.

"We have no choice." Xia Shu shook his head and said.

Everyone was silent, so the matter was settled.
