Chapter Twenty-Four: Scarlet Saffron
"It rains a lot in the Land of Rain, which is why it is called the Land of Rain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info"As he approached the Land of Rain, Shigeru began to brief the three young ninjas who had never been to the Land of Rain before.
As the rope tree listened, a scene of a tropical rainforest was formed in his mind. It rains all year round, so the products are quite abundant, but the country is not as powerful as the five major powers. The combination of wealth and weakness will only bring plunder and gunsmoke. However, in recent years, a powerful leader has appeared, the demigod Sanshoyu Hanzo!
Hanzo was dissatisfied with the oppression of his own country by other countries, and other countries, including the Fire Country, would often exploit merchants from the Land of Rain when it came to trade. So in this case, Hanzo is ready to use force to gain the respect of others.
However, Hanzo's reckless act of militarism drew the resentment of other countries, the Fire Nation bearing the brunt. So several other big countries around the Land of Rain, the Land of Fire, Wind and Earth, in order to ensure the interests of their own countries, are also actively stockpiling strategic materials, and the battle is about to break out! In the past few years, according to Tsunade, the Fire Nation has almost been prepared!
"This mission is to find out what supplies the Rain Country is stockpiling, so as to predict the national situation of the Rain Country!" Shuo Mao continued to lead the way in front.
But the rope tree understands the great significance of this mission! The time of the outbreak of war may be determined by the results of this detection! If the Land of Rain is not ready, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Fire will suddenly attack and take the biggest benefit if the Land of Rain is not prepared!
"Let's speed up quickly, I already feel that someone is following behind, and it won't be long before a Konoha ninja will pick it up!" Shuo Mao glanced back, said to the three rookies, and then sped up.
In the dense jungle, four black shadows quickly interspersed between the treetops,
suddenly
Shuo Mao at the front stopped, leaned back with his left hand, signaled the three rope trees to stop, and at the same time slowly pulled out the long knife behind his back with his right hand.
"Boom!"
The knife is out of the body, and the groan does not stop.
"Come out, your trap is too conspicuous!"
Shuo Mao said as he looked at a low bush on his right.
"Sand, sand, sand"
I saw that the cluster of bushes shook quickly a few times, and then in front of Shuo Mao, six or seven kunai suddenly flew out!
"Humph!" The corners of Shuo Mao's mouth sneered slightly, he held a knife in his right hand, and the person danced with the knife.
"Pow, puff, puff"
All the kunai fell to the ground, and Shuo Mao retracted slightly, but his eyes did not look ahead, still staring at the bushes.
The dark clouds overhead began to rain down at some point, but none of the four members of the team cared, and the rope tree, Fugaku, and Xinghe all ran chakra, forming a triangle, each alert to the front.
The sound of rubbing the leaves around is getting denser and denser, and it is the sound of many people advancing in the woods! Even the rope tree can detect it, which means that they are surrounded by many ninjas!
"Yo! Catch a big fish! I'll take those Hyuga eyes! ”
A shrill joking voice came from the bushes, and then a middle-aged man wearing a four-bar forehead guard stood up and laughed at the men who followed.
"That's it! Musashi-sama, the harvest of the first two days is too little! I didn't expect to meet a big fish as soon as I changed places today! It's really fortunate that Musashi-sama is the first luck in the world! The ninja on Musashi's left flattered Musashi with a "smirk".
While they were talking, a large number of ninjas appeared around the four of them, and the rope tree glanced at it roughly, all of them were forehead guards wearing four vertical bars, that is to say, they were all ninjas from the Rain Ninja Village, and the number was about twenty or thirty people!
Shuo Mao still didn't speak, but his body sank down slightly, and his right hand clenched the long knife.
Seeing this scene, Rope Tree knew that a bitter battle was inevitable, and secretly carried the chakra, and the dirt with a little rain was condensing beside Rope Tree.
Fu Yue was shocked in his heart, in this kind of humid rainy day, his fire escape would drop a lot, after seeing the strange phenomenon around the rope tree, he was surprised, and secretly strengthened the chakra, ready to open the writing wheel eye at any time! He never told others that his writing wheel eye was already a double hook!
Xinghe silently moved the chakra to his eyes in his heart, and in this kind of environment with blurred vision, the white eyes have a certain advantage!
When I see the rain, it seems to be a clarion call for attack, because in the rainy weather, the combat effectiveness of the rain ninja has been strengthened to a certain extent, and the Konoha ninja often causes the power of the fire escape to decline because of the rain, and the first few times I made it, I took advantage of the rain to take down a few of Konoha squads!
The shadows around it, accompanied by the sound of raindrops hitting the leaves, blended the sound of footsteps with the sound of rain! The rope tree secretly exclaimed at this time! If these people are shinobi, they still have a chance to escape, but this skill of hiding their footsteps shows that they are at least mid-ninja! There are a full 24 middle ninjas, and the rain ninja village has invested a lot of money this time!
"Brush!"
Shuo Mao, who was still and motionless, finally moved, only to see that in the dim rain curtain, several flashes of knife light, with a trace of blood, Yao's rope tree could hardly open its eyes! The 24 rain ninjas who were shrinking the encirclement stopped suddenly,
"Ah!!h
Rope Tree only heard a terrible scream from his left, and there was a deep fear in that voice, as if he saw a devil who should not exist in this world, slaughtering, no, slaughtering his companions!
Rope tree looked at the sound, only to see a rain ninja standing on the treetop more than ten meters away from the rope tree, his left hand was covering the original right arm, his right arm had fallen to the ground, blood could not be blocked from the gap in the left hand gushing out, rope tree even in the incessant scream, heard the sound of "hissing" blood! The blood splattered onto the rain-washed green leaves, turning a blood-red, which was immediately washed away by the rain, and then blood-red again!
Rope Tree felt that in addition to the screams of the ninja and the eager breathing of his two companions, it was strangely quiet set off by the sound of rain!
Rope tree turned his head to look, only to see Fu Yue's eyes dull, his lips slightly raised, Rope tree felt very strange, so he followed his eyes, and in an instant, he felt that Fu Yue's expression was so natural!
The whole body is still convulsing! Blood gushes out of the original head like a spring! There are more than a dozen headless corpses, lying on the ground in unison, scattered around, some of which are still rolling heads, looking around blankly, and they can't tell which head is on which corpse!
Suddenly, the rope tree thought about something, and quickly looked around, 1, 2, 3......23, there were a total of 23 headless corpses around the rope tree! At this time, looking from above, the gushing blood and the corpse that fell to the ground formed a blood-red flower strangely! And the heart of the flower is precisely the triangle composed of three rope trees!
A frightened look appeared in the eyes of the rope tree, and at this time, the rope tree was panicked and searched for the originally amiable figure!
I saw that in the originally low bushes, the leader-like Musashi Yunin, the pupils of his eyes seemed to be about to spread! That's the expression of great fear!
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the screams showed no sign of stopping.
The yellow-haired, originally amiable Shuo Shige, stood in front of the Musashi and his two attendants, and smiled slightly apologetically,
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake!"
