Konoha's Thief Hand

Chapter 556 Assassination

When the morning light is faint, Konoha Village is still shrouded in silence. The cold wind blows through, causing the mist to flow slowly, a few cheerful chirping of birds, and the fluttering wings flying over the mist, creating a unique scenery.

The door of Konoha Village opened in a unique creak, and Third Hokage, guarded by five Anbu ninjas, slowly raised his head and looked at the road connecting the village.

“Third Hokage-sama, are you ready?” a sturdy Anbu ninja asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

“Well, let’s go.” Sarutobi Hiruzen helped the hat and stepped forward.

Before and after the guardianship of two Anbu Ninjas, the remaining three Anbu Ninjas were responsible for secretly guarding, investigating, and exploring the road. This way, they crossed the river, bypassed the mountains, passed through the wilderness, and entered a quiet forest in the afternoon. .

Surrounded by the lush foliage, more than a dozen ninjas wearing brown plate armor with a lining the same color as the trees, through the gaps in the leaves, saw Sarutobi Hiruzen and others walking on the road in the forest.

Xia Shu glanced sideways at the eye armor and glanced at it, then raised his hand and issued a gesture command to assign everyone’s tasks.

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

“Enemy attack!” Anbu ninja who followed behind shouted loudly. Before he could say anything, two enemies rushed towards him.

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

Kuunai and Shuriken flew through the air, making a sharp sound. A root ninja with a sturdy physique different from ordinary people’s fists like hammers slammed into the ground, and suddenly a big hole was blasted out. The Anbu ninja was helpless. Can dodge, and finally retreat in fear and was forced into the woods.

So it didn’t take long for Sarutobi Hiruzen to be left on the road, holding on to the hat and looking around.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed a slight movement of the Body Flicker Technique. He turned his eyes to look at it. Among the leaves, a short, thin and weak enemy who was probably still a teenager fell on the ground. Suddenly his hands Harmony and interlocking fingers.

“Wood Style Technique!”

A completely unexpected ninjutsu appeared in front of him, and three sharp wooden sticks broke out of the ground behind the boy and quickly stab Sarutobi Hiruzen!

At the same time, Xia Shu, who was standing on a big tree branch by the side of the road, quietly watched the tricks below, and watched with him Katsuyu, who was as big as an arm on his shoulder, and had a rather chubby body. cute.

“It’s really shocking, it turned out to be Wood Style.” Katsuyu exclaimed in a soft voice, but then shook his head again, seeming to be shaking his head. “But compared to Master First Generation’s ninjutsu, what’s in front of him is simply Unsightly.”

“Hehe, I didn’t expect even you to say such sarcasm.” Natsuki smiled and glanced at Katsuyu who was lying on his shoulders.

“It’s just an objective evaluation. First Generation’s Wood Style can create a vibrant forest. Perhaps the biggest use of this ninja’s Wood Style is to build a house. After all, only wood is needed to build a house.” Katsuyu shook. Said the head.

“Okay, I should send you to Tsunade’s side.” Natsuki reached out and took Katsuyu off his shoulder, and patted Katsuyu’s body with one hand, “Katsuyu·Space Transformation Technique!”

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

Looking down at the bottom, he saw that A was displaying the Wood Style·Great Forest Technique at the moment, but Kakashi, who was disguised as Sarutobi Hiruzen and turned into a camouflage, tore it to pieces with a thousand birds and knocked it to the ground with his backhand.

Xia Shu whispered: “It’s time to end, this farce.”

“Where did you learn Wood Style Technique?” Kakashi asked with Chidori in his hands, looking at the boy’s eyes through the mask under the twinkling of thunder and lightning.

The young man in front of him who used the Wood Style Technique that only the First Hokage master could know, he had already seen Danzo’s side before, but he still didn’t know how the other party learned the Wood Style Technique.

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

“Stop it, Kakashi.”

Hearing these words, Kakashi’s spine immediately stood up, and hurriedly threw it forward. He twisted his body in front of the space, and his feet fell and slipped for a certain distance. When he stabilized his figure, the slanting sword was pulled out, faintly Target the person who appears.

‘what happened? He didn’t even notice when the opponent appeared! Kakashi’s heart trembled, but soon calmed down.

In his mind, at this moment suddenly echoed the one who taught him the relevant skills as a guardian walking in the darkness, and said the most serious sentence to him: no matter how powerful an enemy is, shrink back. Neither and fear have any meaning. Only by calming down can we find the flaws, and only by grasping the flaws can we turn against the wind!

However, just as he thought about it, the person who suddenly appeared shook his head, and immediately ignored him, but beckoned to the young man using Wood Style Technique.

Seeing the two evacuated back figures, Kakashi hesitated and put away Shinobi.

The identity of the enemy is obvious, their mission has failed, and there is no point in continuing to struggle.

At this moment, Third Hokage, who had traveled from the hidden route, had probably arrived at the Daimyo Mansion. They still needed to rush to pick up and protect Third Hokage’s revolving village that had completed the resetting ceremony. There was no time to waste.

Several Anbu ninjas got rid of their entanglement and returned to the road in the forest. Kakashi said a few words to them who didn’t know the details, and then continued to rush towards the daimyo palace.

At the same time, everyone 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, “but Master Danzo ordered us to succeed in the mission, so the current situation can only be remedied.”

“What should we do?” Hearing Xia Shu mention Danzo’s name, the root ninja code-named “Ding” asked hurriedly.

Xia Shu glanced at him, then scanned the other ten days of work, especially paused on Ren’s body, and then slowly said: “Our mission is to end Third Hokage. The current situation is an intelligence business trip. There is no time to stop it. Third Hokage heads to the Daming Mansion to accept the ceremony, so the only chance we have is to complete the task on the way home.”

“With what happened just now, Third Hokage must have been prepared, and there may be a fierce battle next.” Aburame Ryoma said in a deep voice.

“We have no choice.” Xia Shu said, shaking his head.

Everyone was silent, so the matter was settled.
