173 Contradictions

The dried persimmon ghost shark is a little confused at the moment.

In fact, even if you don't have to deliberately detect or perceive Chakra, just look at the costumes of Akagi and Kaga, you can guess that they are the same as the little girl who caused her attack just now, and they are not the ninjas of Konoha.

- Isn't this nonsense, after all, they didn't wear Konoha forehead guards on their heads at all.

Even a traitor (like him) walked around outside all day long after leaving his ninja village, wearing a crossbar that symbolized the identity of the reninja, not to mention the ninjas who were still driven by the so-called high-level in the ninja village?

Even if their forehead guards are not worn on their heads, they are placed in the most conspicuous place around them, so that people can see their identity at a glance.

Of course, if it's a dark identity, or if you're performing some special mission, that's a different story.

However, the two little girls in kimonos that were cumbersome and not conducive to movement were obviously not ninjas who were on a special mission.

However, it was just these two little girls who were obviously not ninjas that once again made him, an S-level rebel ninja from Yuyin Village, suffer a big loss.

Originally, his seal had already been completed, and when he finished reciting the name of the ninjutsu, he could launch the Water Escape "Water Burst Wave" to create a water source, and completely turn this place covered in ice and snow into his main battlefield.

Although he does not use fire escapes, he does the same with water to wash away the snow.

But!

Who would have thought that in such a short moment, it would be a lot of change.

The first was that he almost started to seal with him, preparing to use the ninja method to make a good decision on a high Hachiki Kakashi - yes, the other party saw that he was ready to make a move, and they formed the seal almost at the same time.

In terms of sealing speed, Kakashi Hachiki is indeed a cut above him, and he has nothing to say about this point of being inferior to others.

If it weren't for Minu Funakami stopping Kakashi Hachiki, the other party might have been able to attack him with ninjutsu first.

But...... Yes, he was going to say but, but who would have thought that Kakashi Hachiki would temporarily break up his already condensed chakra and re-form a new seal because of Funakami's words......

You can actually use ninjutsu one step ahead of him, this is a foul, okay!

And to see what kind of ninjutsu he used this time - he actually directly used earth to create a parapet wall and block the snow walls on both sides of the road, which blocked his plan from the root.

But that's not all, after all, without the echo of the snow wall, he can still use the Water Escape Ninjutsu to create a water source - but without the chain effect, the effect will be much lower.

The problem is that the two little girls who are not even ninjas next to Zhou Jian Wen are like hanging up, and after hearing Zhou Jian Min's order, they immediately opened their bows and pulled arrows, and their movements were so smooth that they even shot arrows directly at him as if they didn't need any aiming at all.

But those two arrows actually shot straight at him.

You must know that the dried persimmon ghost shark was originally sealing, and he was just about to recite the ninjutsu name enlargement move with his mouth, but at this moment, he saw the two arrows shooting towards the tip of his nose and mouth respectively.

At the critical moment, he didn't even have time to think about it, so he directly picked up the "shark muscle" behind him that he had just put back and slashed at the two arrows, but it was precisely because of his defensive action that his move to condense the chakra seal was completely interrupted.

Don't say anything about the water escape move, there is not even a shadow of water at all.

Not only was the road blocked by someone who wanted to take advantage of the situation to make trouble, but the dried persimmon ghost shark who was also forcibly interrupted by someone was obviously not easy at all.

He glanced at the "shark muscle" in his hand, which had not recovered from the previous explosion, and was about to say something, when he heard a loud bang, followed by familiar black smoke rising from his feet.

And the source of the sound and black smoke was the two broken arrows that had been slashed aside by himself with his "shark muscle" just now.

dried persimmon ghost shark; “…………”

If he hadn't dodged just now, if the "shark muscle" had swallowed these two arrows just now......

Then I'm afraid it's him or his "shark muscle" that explodes now.

Anyway, do the people of the Zhenzhou family really have nothing to do with the yellow-haired boy of Deidara?

This style of blowing up when you're unhappy, blowing up when you're happy, and blowing up when you're provoked is just the same!

One is to use blasting clay, and on the other side, the blasting methods are varied.

The dried persimmon ghost shark suddenly felt that this task should not be handed over to their group at all, but should be handed over to the "Qingyu" group where Deidara is located, which is more suitable - just let the whole day shout "Explosion||." Frying is art", Deidara personally came out to have a good time with the people on Zhoujian Min's side.

"I look at the way you looked just now, probably thinking about using water to escape and turn this place into your main battlefield."

Ninjas from Wuyin Village are good at water escape, and no matter how much peach land is cut, dried persimmon ghost shark is no exception, "This is indeed a smart approach, after all, there is so much snow piled up on both sides of this road." ”

After getting out of the carriage and blowing the cold wind for a while, and still standing on the snow, Zhou Jianwen was already cold and pale.

Naturally, the people on Zhoujianwen's side also discovered her abnormality, whether it was the ninja of Kakashiban or the ship's mother beside Zhoujianwen, they were all looking at Zhoujian Wen who had begun to cough after taking a breath of cold wind with worried eyes.

"It's a pity that the enemy you chose is not something you can deal with with this little trick."

Zhou Jian Min covered her mouth and coughed for a while, although she looked as weak as she was at the moment, her momentum was not inferior to the domineering dried persimmon ghost shark in front of her.

After hearing Zhou Jianwen say this, the dried persimmon ghost shark immediately looked at her with a strange gaze.

The cold wind had been blowing in the snow for so long, and Zhou Jianwen's face was about to catch up with him at this moment; And such a sick and weak woman who could not use chakra actually said that he had chosen the wrong enemy and used a little trick......

Could it be that she was confident that she could beat him?

Just with her and the three women around her who use bizarre attacks?

If Zhou Jianwen really meant this, then she inevitably looked down on people too much, right?

Although he suffered several losses on Zhou Jianwen's side, it was all because he was unprepared in advance - or he didn't take them seriously at all.

But now that he had seen the power of the people around Zhou Jianwen, and he also knew about what kind of tricks they would use, the dried persimmon ghost shark felt quite confidently that even if these people went together, they were not necessarily his opponents.

"I don't think you believe it?"

The other party's contempt and disdain naturally did not miss it, in fact, the belligerence and arrogance of this S-class traitor were expected by her, but what she needed was these two characteristics of the other party.

Zhou Jianwen covered his mouth and coughed a few times, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it." ”

Saying this, a slight strange light suddenly appeared in her eyes that were not covered by the palms, "After all, I like to reason with facts." ”

As soon as Zhou Jianwen's words fell, and before she could even think about the meaning of her words, Akagi and Kaga beside her opened their bows and arrows again, only this time they were not aiming at the dried persimmon ghost shark, but the gray sky above the Iron Country.

"Get in the car," while Akagi and Kaga did this, Zhou Jian Min directly lowered his voice and ordered his adopted daughter Haruno Sakura, "Quick! ”

Sakura Haruno frowned, "But, Lord Kenwen......"

At this moment, they are standing here as Zhou Jianwen's guards, not the younger generations that Zhou Jianwen has seen since he was a child and is also quite loved, how can he leave Zhoujian Wen at this time and get into the car first?

Not only Sakura Haruno, but Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha also showed disapproving expressions after hearing Minu Funakami's words.

In fact, they also realized that they couldn't do anything at all in this crisis-

He didn't even react when the other party attacked towards the boat stream, and he couldn't stop it in time when the other party used ninjutsu, and even after Kakashi Hachiki used Tsuchiku, it was because of Haruno Sakura's explanation that he understood the reason.

As for the attack......

"I know that you have a mission on your part, and you must be unwilling at this moment," Zhou Jian Wen glanced at the three children, and then looked at the dried persimmon ghost shark on the other side who was about to launch a second round of attacks rather vigilantly, "But we don't need to confront them head-on at this moment." ”

Although they were two uninvited guests, Zhou Jianwen felt that there was no need to enter a protracted battle or a desperate fight at all.

For her, the most important thing now is to make the transfer.

"Later, our people will create an opportunity, you guys get in the car first, so that we can evacuate together," Zhou Jian Min pressed Haruno Sakura's shoulder and looked at his adopted daughter who was raised by his own hands for three seconds, "Sakura, trust my judgment." ”

Sakura Haruno looked at her adoptive mother with her emerald eyes, and then, as if she understood something, she nodded quickly at Funakami, and then grabbed one of her companions in one hand, and threw them into the carriage despite their struggles and resistance.

Before Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha could adjust their postures, they saw that the little girl had already dragged Kakashi Hachiki into the car.

"Sakura!"

"Sakura-chan!"

"Sakura ......"

The three-year-old men of Class 7 looked at the little girl who jumped into the car, and regardless of how embarrassed they looked at her at the moment, they shouted at her in unison, and their tones were mostly complaining and incomprehensible.

Obviously, they are the guards of Zhou Jian Min, but at this moment, they have encountered an enemy who is obviously going towards Zhou Jian Wen, why didn't Haruno Sakura, who is the adopted daughter of Zhou Jian Min, let them continue to stay on the battlefield, but instead dragged them back to the carriage one by one?

What about the task?

What about the object of protection?

- Is that all she cares about?

In fact, Sakura Haruno, who was reluctant to do so, had a cold little face, she looked at the companions in the carriage who were about to rush out again, first grabbed Naruto's collar with half of his head poked out, and then pulled him back into the carriage.

"Our mission is to protect Lord Jianwen," her tone was as cold as the snow outside, and it was conceivable that the little girl who had been smiling all the time was not in a good mood at the moment, "but now we can't do anything." ”

"So we don't have to do anything?"

Naruto Uzumaki doesn't like to hear this, they are indeed very weak existences now, but this does not mean that they can stand aside and deal with nothing.

"We can't just leave Miss Jian Wen out there!"

Sakura Haruno felt a little irritable, not only because Naruto hadn't communicated with her at all, but also because of the complicated situation now.

"Shut up, Naruto," scolding her always hot-blooded companion with her emotions, Sakura Haruno looked directly at her mentor this time, "It's not like we're going to sit idly by, Kakashi-sensei. ”

Among the people present, apart from her, Kakashi-sensei was the only one who knew a little about the Mafune family.

To be precise, it is to know something about the abilities of Zhou Jian Wen and her men.

"It's that we're here by Lord Jianwen's side, and we're only going to be a burden to her," the little girl took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound as calm as usual.

There was silence in the carriage because of Sakura Haruno's words, and Naruto Uzumaki was about to say something, but suddenly he heard a violent roar outside the carriage.

The half of his head that poked out of the carriage just now had been pulled back into the carriage because of Sakura Haruno's previous actions.

At this moment, he was full of curiosity and was about to poke his head out to take a look, but he didn't even open the curtain of the carriage, and was thrown into the deepest part of the carriage by Sakura Haruno and fell into a mess.

"The people around Lord Jianwen...... Neither Veneto nor Kaga Akagi is weak at all, and Mr. Kakashi has actually found out about this, "Because it was something related to the past, Sakura Haruno subconsciously used the name Kakashi Hachiki when she was a child a few years ago.

Kakashi, who was silent, didn't speak for a long time, and only nodded slightly after a while.

"Actually...... Mr. Watergate also knows. ”

Zhou Jian Min usually didn't deliberately hide this matter at all, plus Veneto, Akagi Kaga and others showed a different side from ordinary people in many signs.

They don't have to be ninjas, but they're not underdogs either.

Bo Feng Shuimen, who is the fourth generation of Hokage, naturally knew about this matter, but he acquiesced to the fact that Zhou Jian Min raised these warriors.

After all, the real Zhou family has a big business, and Zhou Jian Min himself is also of great significance to Konoha, plus she is still a nobleman with a connection to the daimyo, and it is not unreasonable to raise a few warriors at home.

As for Kakashi Hachiki, he found out about it during his trip back then - in fact, it wasn't just him, but Uchiha Itachi, who wanted to come to Sasuke, also found out about this problem, but after all, it was a family matter, so neither of them broke it.

I thought that this time Bo Feng Shuimen would let the fledgling seventh class serve as a guard for Zhou Jian Min, mainly because he knew that there were a few Veneto who would travel with Zhou Jian Min.

Sakura Haruno was not surprised by Kakashi's words, although it was in the Hokage Building that Shujian Min really wanted to discuss important matters with Bo Feng Shuimen, but the trust of the Bo Feng Shuimen couple in their adoptive mother, she could still see some clues from the usual exchanges between the two families.

"Veneto and the others have always been the trusted subordinates of Lord Jianwen, and Lord Jianwen is also familiar with their abilities."

Sakura Haruno said word by word, and when she said that, she was actually not explaining to Kakashi Hagi alone, but thinking about everyone in the carriage to explain, "Under the command of Lord Kanto, they can steadily exert their abilities in any terrain. ”

Although she hadn't seen the real skills of Veneto and them with her own eyes, Sakura Haruno believed in her adoptive mother's ability to command battles.

"The current situation is not something we can really do if we want to, and I want to stand by Tsuru Kanto-sama to protect her," which is why she wanted to become a ninja in the first place.

"But judging from the current situation, no matter which one of us appears by Lord Jianwen's side, it will only drag her back and make this battle that could have been all survivable have an accident."

Naruto Uzumaki opened his mouth, he wanted to refute Sakura's words, but he didn't know where to start.

The explosions outside continued, but looking at Sakura Haruno's meaning, she didn't seem to want them to see the scene of the battle of the Mafune family's guards.

He could only listen to the sound but couldn't see the scene, which made Naruto Uzumaki feel more and more irritated, "We are Miss Jianwen's guards, is it really okay to stay in the carriage like this!" ”

It was clear that he was the one who was protecting, but now the situation was huddled in this carriage, protected by the party that was supposed to be protected, which was so strange.

— at least not a reality he could accept.

Sakura Haruno could understand his feelings, but she knew that she couldn't let Naruto out at this moment no matter what.

"The so-called protection is to be responsible for the safety of Lord Jianwen's life, in order to ensure the safety of Lord Jianwen, we can take any means, and the current situation is that only if we stay in the carriage, can we really ensure the safety of Lord Jianwen and all of us present."

"But we can also go down and fight," Naruto Uzumaki looked at Sakura Haruno with a puzzled expression, wondering why the other party would say such a theory that seemed strange to him, "Wouldn't it be better to have one more person and one more effort to ensure everyone's safety." ”

Sakura Haruno was forced to be a little impatient by his passionate words, and she wanted the other party to recognize the reality—to be precise, the fact that they would only cause trouble for Mistress Jian when they got out of the car; I didn't want to say hurtful words, and I was in a dilemma for a while.

And this scene also reminded Kakashi Hachiki, who already understood the meaning of all the words that Haruno Sakura said and did not say, to the scene of yesterday afternoon.

It's the same as he said about the three kids: Naruto was too hot-blooded and impulsive, and too targeted—except that he was targeting Sasuke at the time, and now he was starting to go toe-to-toe with Sakura Haruno, who had a different philosophy from himself.

As for Sakura Haruno, her calm and rational mind allows her to grasp the overall situation, or to think and grasp the situation she finds herself in from multiple angles.

But her shortcomings are also obvious, she is too gentle, so even if she has the most accurate understanding of the situation, she will not easily say it to hurt Naruto, who still wants to help at this time.

- Even if that would have calmed Naruto completely.

"Then I ask you, Naruto," Sakura Haruno took a deep breath, trying to keep her tone calm, "If you do go down, how much do you think you can do to that shark man?" ”

They couldn't do anything just now, and it's the same now.

Naruto froze, and before he could react, Sakura Haruno continued to ask, "Then let me ask you again, if you are attacked by that shark man, how sure do you think you can escape?" ”

It stands to reason that most enemies should be dealt with first, and Naruto's output must not be as good as Veneto's.

But if he did appear on the battlefield at this moment, Sakura Haruno felt that it would only create an opportunity for that shark man—if she was that shark man, she would definitely not miss this opportunity.

Naruto Uzumaki was stunned again, and Sakura Haruno's third question was thrown out.

"If you were captured by that shark man, what price do you think Lord Jian Wen would have to pay to save you as a hostage from that shark man?"

It's the same reason she took "Intimacy Heaven" from Kakashi's ninja bag that day.

"You want to help Lord Kenwen, I know, after all, I'm the same as you at this point," Haruno Sakura looked at him indifferently, how could she, as the adopted daughter of Zhou Jianwen, not worry about Zhou Jianwen's safety?

"But staying here quietly now is also another way to help Lord Jianwen."

"After all, giving away heads to the enemy is also a way to sell teammates."

- Wait, what seems wrong with that?
