Chapter 17: Prelude to the Killing
"Insult, how's it going?"
The Iwa Shinobi, who had not been charred by Makoto's fire, had his head removed and been exposed to the ice and snow for several hours, and had been completely frozen, with a little white ice slag in his hair, but his expression still had that hint of smile, which made Makoto look a little irritated.
The thin man raised his head, his brows furrowed slightly on his ordinary face, he played with the stiff head in his hand, and said with a little guilt: "My lord, it's still not good, I don't have a special instrument, I can't get the information in the specimen." ”
"Yes......"
Makoto didn't have any hope for this, he looked up at the sky that was beginning to turn gray and fade, and muttered, "Where is the enemy?" ”
Insult stopped, closed his eyes to feel something, and after a moment, he opened his eyes and said: "Still chasing behind, the number has increased by two teams." ”
"Added again?" Fu Yue said to Makoto quite worriedly: "Makoto, it's not a way to go on like this." ”
"I know." Feeling the cold palm in his hand, Cheng patted it gently as if comforting, and asked Fu Yue, "Has the signal for help been sent?" The family has been in business for many years in the country of Tian, so there should always be a signal base station, right? ”
Fu Yue shook his head: "I sent it, but I didn't receive feedback, presumably Yan Yin destroyed the surrounding signal base stations in advance." ”
Are there no reinforcements? Makoto frowned unconsciously, but immediately relaxed, as the core of the team at this time, he couldn't bring negative emotions to his teammates.
"It's okay," Makoto said to the silent light, the tall and slender woman pursed her lips, even the thick clothes under the standard trench coat could not hide her thinness, and the wind raised a puff of snow, hitting her short hair, and with the endless snowfield behind her, she looked even more weak.
"Now it's confirmed, it's just a group of small characters, if it was the two-day scale master who made a move, how could we have a chance to escape so far."
"Hmm." Hikari answered softly and took Makoto's hand with his backhand, signaling that he didn't have to worry about himself.
"But it's not a way to go on like this," after seeing the tacit exchange between the husband and wife, Fu Yue spoke: "The enemy's intentions are very clear, they will not give us a chance to reach the border of the Fire Country." ”
Makoto glanced back, the path of several people was neat and snow-white, using the technique of gathering chakra, the Uchiha ninjas walked on the snow on the way to come without a trace, if there was a heavy snowfall, then it would be difficult for even the most experienced ninjas to trace their traces.
Thinking of this, he made a decision in his heart.
"Captain, the target has stopped moving." The ninja wearing the fog shield closed his eyes and reported that he was still in such a high-speed hurry, while his teammates around him protected him firmly in the middle of the formation.
The man who was called the captain was slightly fat, and his face was much whiter than that of his dark-faced teammates, and he didn't look like he was born in a hard profession like a ninja.
"Stopped moving?" He looked at another subordinate next to him and asked, "Sonuma, how is the situation of each team?" ”
Sonuma, an older uncle, replied, "There are already thirteen squads in place, and the remaining seven squads are rushing to their predetermined positions. ”
Captain Iwakure groaned, and the sentient ninja who reported it first couldn't help but say, "What to do, Captain, do you want to inform the other teams to slow down for the time being and wait for the other teams to arrive?" ”
Captain Iwakure waved his hand to stop his question, and said, "Banjun, can you sense the location of the ninja among them?" ”
Banjun was stunned for a moment, looked at the captain, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the perceptual type wants to release the chakra to investigate, and they have vague inductions between each other." ”
"Really?" Hearing this, the white and slightly chubby man showed a grim smile: "Since he has such a measure and choice, how can I not give him a corresponding reward...... Sonuma, inform the squads that the original plan will not change, and rush to the designated location at full speed! ”
"Yes!" Although this was not the best choice, but knowing what kind of a cold ninja this man with a face as good as Maitreya was, Sonuma didn't dare to say anything, and immediately began to contact the captains of each team with a short-range wireless device.
Outside of the three of them, a ninja dressed in a unique thin white suit, who was always galloping silently in the biting cold wind, stretched out as black as satin, revealing his pupils that were colder than ice and snow.
The sky is getting more and more gloomy, the vast sea of clouds intersects with the snowfield, but only the horizon line is different in color, the sea of clouds surges, the snow field is condensed, the whistling wind is mixed with the snow particles that touch the surface like a knife, and soon, another heavy snow is coming.
Physical energy, as a basic component of the ninja's mystical ability [Chakra], cannot be used as a common sense term to encapsulate all its meanings, but as a similar part, the colder the environment, the greater the consumption, the two are the same.
Makoto stretched out his hand to help Hikari lift the scarf to the tip of his nose, such a bad weather terrain, and was in a state of constant full speed rush, although Hikari was not a true shinobi, but Makoto knew that her physical strength could no longer support it to continue to hurry.
This is still in the case of Makoto helping her share the burden along the way, although Makoto can carry the light on his back at this time, but after the decision just now, there is no need to do this.
One, two, three, four.
Makoto took a step forward and left the light to Uchiha Humiliation, Shuren, and Fugaku to protect, although from the perception of Humiliation, there were nearly twenty enemies in total, but making proper use of their time difference was enough to form a situation where you didn't have to face all the enemies.
Sixteen people...... Since you made such a choice, then don't blame me for gladly accepting this gift.
The whole body is still shrouded in a trench coat, and the effect of hindering movement brought by this clothing is actually equivalent to the non-existence of the unique physical attack ninjutsu of the Strange Power Technique, and the effect of the trench coat to block the seal can make Makoto quite cheap in battle.
Fire escape! Impatiens claw red!
The thirty-two regiments shot out from under the windbreaker with a rapidly rotating fire blade, and the writing wheel eye allowed Makoto to easily lock on to the position of the sixteen Iwa ninja who were not bad, although it was only a C-level enchanted ninjutsu, but thirty-two rounds in an instant, still showed his excellent chakra control ability.
And no one panicked, these Wind Demon shuriken with high-temperature red flames burning on their blades, although they were powerful, but their flight speed did not reach the level that could catch these rock hidden ninjas who were also the most intermediate ninjas off guard.
But just as they thought with serious faces, this single C-rank ninjutsu thirty-two consecutive shots, which was already somewhat beyond their common sense, was just a prelude to this killing movement.
