Chapter 23: Rescue
The few pure red hairs lying quietly were like the dawn of the night, incomparably dazzling.
Seeing the hair, Ye Zi's gloomy expression eased, and he quickly picked up the hair and looked at it for a moment, after confirming that it was Jiu Xingnai's hair, the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more fierce.
Without the slightest hesitation, he put his hair back in place, fortunately he had the habit of carrying a ninja bag with him, and took out a kunai from the soil that was inserted into the side of his hair, and then got up and chased after the enemy ninja who had taken Kokuna hostage.
He wasn't arrogant enough to save Kuyukina with the power of one person, and it was already a blessing to be able to delay the other party, so the hair had to be left behind to point out the direction for the Konoha ninjas who came to pursue, and he could only leave a kunai mark at most to make it more obvious, and he couldn't make more obvious marks along the way, which would delay the speed of travel.
Who is Kuyukina...?
After getting along for more than a year, Ye Zi couldn't figure out why an enemy ninja dared to sneak into Konoha Village so risky, just to kidnap a girl who had just graduated from ninja school.
The only thing I can be sure of is that Kuyukina has the value to make the enemy fight.
It took a lot of time to find the strands of hair along the way, but fortunately, Kuyuna's hair was pure red instead of black, so it wouldn't be so hard to find after nightfall.
Rao is like this, Ye Zi, who has been chasing for several hours, still can't see anyone, and if this continues, once the other party crosses the border, there will be no room for recovery.
On the other side, the cloud ninjas who held Jiu Xingna hostage were moving at full speed from the beginning, but Jiu Xingna did not have the same physical strength and stamina as them, and when they were about to approach the border, Jiu Xingna finally couldn't hold on.
"Waste." Yun Ren, who was in charge of towing Jiu Xingna, scolded coldly, looked at the tall man in front of him, and asked, "Lord Hato, you have already arrived here, and the group of people in Konoha can't catch up, do you want to slow down your march?" ”
Known as the dove, Yun Ren has a rough face, a dark complexion, a hideous cross scar on his right eye, and an indifferent expression like ice, making him have an extraordinary aura.
Hearing his subordinates' inquiry, the dove paused, and also thought that the Konoha ninja was estimated to be unable to catch up here, and the three subordinates were also tired after half a day of rushing at full speed, so they agreed to the subordinate's suggestion.
He glanced at Jiu Xingna, who hung his head as if he might fall at any time, and said coldly: "Slow down, the border is coming, don't be careless." ”
"Yes." The three Yun Ninja's expressions were relieved, and the high-intensity full-speed rush really made them feel tired, not to mention Jiu Xingna, who had relatively weak physical strength and endurance, if it weren't for the physical characteristics of the Uzumaki clan, if it were someone else, I am afraid that such a rush would be fatal.
They made this decision, but they didn't know that a lone wolf was biting tightly behind them.
Half an hour later, Yun Ren who took the walk was like taking a walk, as if he could already see that this difficult task had been completed, and his vigilance began to drop significantly, except for the dove owl with the hideous scar of the cross, his eyes were still full of vigilance.
Compared with Yun Shinobi's ease, Jiu Xingna, whose consciousness was already a little blurred, was full of despair.
"Who... Help me. ”
In the shaky vision, there was only a dark road, and faintly, a vague figure suddenly appeared.
The black hair, the black eyes, melted into the night, clear and blurred, the figure that trembled in the night, the face that was clear and sometimes blurred, as if it was close at hand, still indifferent.
"Leaf... Zi. ”
A ray of light quietly appeared in Jiu Xingna's gray eyes, and the weak voice made her voice tremble and blur.
"Leaves?" Yun Shinobi, who was dragging Kuyukina, heard the faint whisper and couldn't help but look back at Kuyukina.
"Stop!"
At this moment, the dove owl, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, climbed on the hilt of the knife at his waist with one hand, and suddenly turned to look behind him.
Seeing the dove owl's reaction like this, how could the other three not know that someone had caught up, their hearts jumped, and they hurriedly looked at the night behind them vigilantly, only to see a figure jumping from the big tree in the forest, like a god from the sky, jumping down to the ground not far from them.
"Alone? Or is it a little ghost? Seeing that the person who was chasing was just a Konoha imp, the three cloud ninjas breathed a sigh of relief, and they thought it was a large number of Konoha ninjas chasing after them.
"Caught up."
Ye Zi gasped slightly, looked at the familiar figure in front of him, and said loudly: "Jiu Xingnai, are you okay?" ”
Unlike before, this voice is indeed full of anxiety and impatience, rather than the coldness that has no feelings for anything in the past.
Hearing this familiar and unfamiliar voice, Jiu Xingnai, who thought that he had seen the phantom, slowly turned his head and indeed saw Ye Zi.
"Leaf... Zi! ”
As if seeing that Ye Zi had been saved, Jiu Xingnai's eyes slowly widened, and a flash of joy flashed on her little face stained with stains.
"Do you think you're going to be saved?"
The indifferent voice ringing in his ears ruthlessly shattered Kuyukina's delusions.
The dove crossed Jiu Xingnai, stared at Ye Zi with murderous intent, and said coldly: "The expression is good, since you dare to chase after you alone, you must have already realized that you are ready to die, right?" ”
As he spoke, the dove slowly pulled out the short knife on his waist, and his eyes became extremely cold at this moment.
"You quickly cross the border with the target, I will solve this little ghost, if nothing else, I am afraid that there will be pursuers later."
"Yes!"
Although they didn't know why the dove owl deliberately broke off, just to deal with a little ghost, they still obeyed the order and dragged Jiu Xingna to decisively speed up the march.
"Damn it!"
Ye Zi stared at the short knife in the hand of the man in front of him, his expression was solemn, his purpose was just to drag the other party, if the other party chose to leave one person behind, it would be the best, but, in his imagination, just because he was a ghost, the person who left the broken back should not be the strongest person.
However, the one who left behind the broken is the strongest person!
The short knife that shimmered in the moonlight through the trees was comparable to the Death Scythe to Ye Zi.
There is no doubt that the Konoha ninja who has become a corpse died in the hands of this person, all of them were killed by cutting their throats with a knife, simply and neatly, but there were many other small injuries on the body of the Konoha ninja before he died, so it can be judged that this man's knife was not fast enough for others to react, otherwise he would not choose to sneak attack from the shadows and kill the Konoha ninja directly.
"There's no chance of winning... No, it's just very low, very low. ”
Ye Zi's expression was extremely ugly, not to mention being restrained by this person, it was already difficult to survive in the hands of this person, so it was impossible to prevent Jiu Xingna from being taken away.
Silently taking out the kunai and holding it in his hand, Ye Zi clenched the root of his teeth tightly, forcing his eyes not to look at Jiu Xingna who was taken away, but to stare at the man who had begun to exude a cold murderous aura, and the actual murderous aura that came to his face made the air around him seem to become viscous.
The dove owl seemed to have full confidence, and did not make the first move, but looked at Ye Zi, whose breath was already even, and a trace of praise flashed in his eyes, he could catch up with the speed of catching up, and his breath was not chaotic, which was enough to prove that the little ghost in front of him was not simple, as for age, it was never an indicator of strength or weakness.
It's a pity, this little ghost, who may be a genius in Konoha, is still too young, and the price to pay for catching up so recklessly is very heavy!
"Do you know why I'm staying?" The dove owl's arm was slightly raised, and his face was full of murderous intent, "Because I know that other people are not your opponents!" It's a pity that you met me, let me die here! ”
Just when he was about to make a move, he stopped, only to see a fast figure fall next to Ye Zi, Ye Zi was attracted by the dove because of his spirit, and when he found the fast figure, the other party had already come to his side.
Ye Zi's heartbeat instantly accelerated, and when he was about to attack this figure, the other party's voice made him stop the idea of attacking.
"Where's Kuyukina?" When Shuimen looked at the murderous dove, his expression instantly became as solemn as Ye Zi, and when he looked at his face, he knew that the man in front of him was very strong!
"Another imp." The dove frowned, it would be good if the pursuing Konoha ninja was a ninja, but he didn't expect that it was two imps who caught up, and it didn't seem to be simple.
Seeing that the water gate was catching up, Ye Zi's eyes flashed with joy, pointed in one direction, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Jiu Xingna is now being held hostage by the three cloud ninjas, you hurry up and chase after it, I will contain this man." ”
"But..."Shui Men hesitated, he didn't think that Ye Zi could deal with the man in front of him, and there was a high chance that he would be killed by the other party.
"Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, if it's a little later, once Jiu Xingna is taken out of the country, it'll be all over." Seeing that the Watergate incident is still like this, Ye Zi couldn't help but say angrily.
When Shuimen heard this, he took a deep look at Ye Zi, and his face flashed with determination, he couldn't live up to Ye Zi, who gambled his life, so he must save Jiu Xingnai!
The watergate, which had made a decision, ignored the existence of the dove owl like an arrow from the bow, and headed in the direction where Kuyukina was taken away.
"How dare you ignore me!"
A touch of anger flashed across the face of the dove, and at the same time he was surprised by the speed of the water gate, his figure flashed, and he came to the side of the water gate, raised his knife and fell, the timing was precise and vicious.
But in the face of this fatal knife, Shuimen didn't even look at it, only the front in his eyes, at this moment, Ye Zi was between the two, only listening to the sound of Qiang, in the dark night, the firelight splashed, Ye Zi held Kunai to block the knife, and Shuimen sank into the darkness without looking back.
"Good, good."
Seeing that the water gate left here at a very fast speed, Sen Ran's killing intent came out of the mouth of the dove.
Ye Zi's arm trembled, and he only felt the heavy force coming from the kunwu, and the short knife flashed with cold light, and even stabbed his skin slightly.
It's so strong!
In the face of such a strong person, I'm afraid it's an extravagant hope to even escape...
Why... Would I risk my life to stay and face such a formidable enemy?
----------------------------
Ye Rui and Jiu Xingnai's appearance is somewhat similar, and based on this alone, Ye Zi will not have a love for Jiu Xingna.
