Chapter 209: The Hunt
In the dimly lit underground space of the root base, Danzo looked gloomily at the root ninja lying on the ground, who was none other than the one from the Yamanaka clan that Ryuwa had spared.
When reinforcements from the roots arrived, not a single member of the Kusachichi clan was found, only the corpses of the root ninjas were all over the ground, and the only one still alive was rolling on the ground with his head in his hands and moaning loudly in pain.
When they took off the mask of the root ninja of the Yamanaka clan, they found that the man's mouth and nose were cracked, blood was oozing constantly, and his eyes were glazed, obviously mentally damaged. In this way, he couldn't ask for any valuable information at all, so he had no choice but to take him back to the root headquarters.
After bringing it back to the root headquarters, after being diagnosed by the root medical ninja, it was confirmed that it was when he was performing the secret art of the Yamanaka clan, and he was severely mentally damaged by the backlash, and he had to wait at least a month to recover.
However, Tuanzang, who was anxious to know the details of the matter, naturally didn't have the patience to wait for a month, so under the forced order of Tuanzang, he invaded the brain of this mountain ninja and obtained detailed information about what happened in the Kusa Chichi clan station before.
And this root ninja of the mountain clan, in this case, was invaded into the brain to obtain information, and at least he could cultivate for half a year, or at worst he could become a permanent vegetative person.
However, Danzou was obviously in no mood to care about his subordinate, and he was now thinking about how Ruyu could have appeared in the village, and she should be on an assassination mission outside the village now. Ryuha has now appeared in the village, and has not yet found a member of the Kusa Chi clan, which means that his plan has failed this time.
Before Danzou could figure out what to do, a root ninja dodged in front of Danzou, half-kneeled and handed over a secret letter, and disappeared again after Danzang took the secret letter. The secret letter had been sent back by the spies who had been planted in the daimyo's ranks, and the Sentry Eagle hurried to deliver the news after dark.
And the original plan of the group was to control the grass Qianyi clan who stayed in Konoha Village after the news came back. However, the successive annihilation of the two groups of root ninjas, as well as the news of Ruyu's appearance in the village, apparently interrupted the deployment of the group.
Tuan Zang glanced at the secret letter, and then ordered in a cold voice: "Kusa Chi Ruyu colluded with the forces of the outer village, betrayed the secrets of the village, assassinated the daimyo, killed many ninjas in the village, and attempted to attack the high-ranking of the department, and has now defected.........."
........
"Woo--------"
The long whistle sounded abruptly in the night of Konoha, and the names of Konoha Village who heard this whistle couldn't help but be stunned, put down the things in their hands, and looked out of the street suspiciously. And on the side of the street, from time to time, a team of dark people passed by. Not long after, even the Uchiha clan's guards sprang into action.
Liuyu, who was hiding under the black robe, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the whistle, looked at a group of shadows galloping by not far away, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Tuan Zang, this guy really looks up to me." ”
This kind of highest-level alarm will only sound when there is a major crisis in the village or when it is facing an invasion by external forces, and the last time it sounded was because the Nine Tails broke the seal, but I didn't expect that this time in order to arrest himself, Tuan Zang actually directly activated this level of alarm, and I don't know whether to be happy or sad.
........
"How is this possible?"
Asma and Red looked at the notice just issued in shock, which said that the Kusa Chi clan Shangnin Kusa Chiruyu colluded with the forces of the outer village to kill the Daimyo of the Fire Country, betrayed the secrets of the village, and was suspected of assassinating the high-ranking people in the village, and has now defected, officially listing it as an S-class traitor.
"How so?"
Looking at the announcement in front of him, Hong gently covered his mouth in disbelief, the two of them, as Ryuyu's teammates, knew Ryuyu's personality and knew that Ryuyu was the one who would not do such a thing.
On the other side, Yamanaka Haiichi frowned and looked at the notice that had just been posted in front of him. As a member of the mountain clan, his experience is naturally not comparable to Asma and Hong, and he thinks about problems for a longer time than others.
At the critical moment when the three generations of Hokage were not in the village, it was definitely not normal for this kind of thing to happen in the village, especially since this order was issued by the root of the group.
Assassinate the Daimyo, if this crime is confirmed, it is estimated that even the three generations of Hokage will not be able to protect Ryuha, but where did Ryuyu come from to assassinate the Daimyo?
"Mr. Haiyi...... Ryuha, she won't really ......"
Looking at Yamanaka's frowning face, Asma asked worriedly. Despite his usual cheerful personality, he can't calm down in the face of such a major event as the defection of a very important companion. Excellent reading books
"Don't overthink it...."
Seeing the worried looks on the two of them, Yamanaka Haiichi could only comfort helplessly.
Such scenes also continue to happen in other parts of Konoha, and everyone who knows Ryuha can't believe it when they learn that Ryuwa has defected. Ryuha, as the war hero of Konoha and the captain of the Shadow Guard of the four generations of Hokage, would do such a thing?
.....
Now the three generations of Hokage are not in the village, and Danzo, who is the Hokage's assistant, is currently the most powerful person in the village. Now that such a big thing has happened in the village, it is natural to have the power to temporarily mobilize the dark department. And under the special request of Tuanzang, Inuzuka, Oil Girl, and Hinata, who are good at tracking, all joined this big hunt. In particular, the ninjas of the Hyuga clan, who have the white eyes of restraint and seclusion, are the main force of the search team.
The entire Konoha has become agitated because of the defection of the Kusa Chichi clan, first the personal disciple of the three generations, the defection of Orochimaru, one of the legendary three ninjas, and then the defection of the war hero of Konoha and the captain of the four generations of Hokage Guards, the Kusasa Ruyu clan. This makes the villagers wonder, "What's wrong with the village?" ”
......
Running through the forest, Ryuha kept leaping over the thick trees, and behind her, the village of Konoha was getting smaller and smaller. Although Tuanzang made many preparations to hunt down Ryuha, he still failed to find a trace of Ryuha.
Ryuha often goes out to perform confidential tasks for the village, and is very clear about the perception barrier and the distribution of sentry posts on the outskirts of the village. Coupled with its own extremely strong anti-perception and perception ability, it had already avoided it in advance before the pursuers in Tuanzang surrounded it. As for the white eyes of those Hyuga clans, it is okay to deal with ordinary people of the Kusaqian clan, but if you want to find Ryuyu, you must have the white eyes of the clan with extremely high purity.
Suddenly, Ryuha stopped, stood on a tree, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then spoke, "Come out, Kakashi, you can't hide my perception." ”
As soon as Ryuha's words fell, Kakashi, dressed in a silver vest and wearing a dark mask, turned out of a tree. After coming out, Kakashi directly took off his mask and looked at Ryuha, the three-hooked jade writing wheel in the socket of his left eye constantly turning.
For a moment, the two fell silent. At this moment, they are no longer companions. One is an S-class traitor wanted by the village, while the other is part of the pursuit team.
"Why?"
After a long moment, Kakashi asked softly.
"I wouldn't want to go this far if I could."
Ryuka didn't answer Kakashi's question directly, but sighed to himself.
"Why?"
Kakashi was still the same.
"Remember the assassination attempt that Miyo encountered when he went to the City of Fire to meet the Daimyo?"
Ryuka didn't answer Kakashi's question, instead asking Kakashi if he remembered the assassination.
“........”
Ryu Yu's rhetorical question directly silenced the two sides again. The assassination planned by Tuan Zang should not have been known to anyone other than the person concerned.
"I see!"
After a while, Kakashi lowered his head and whispered helplessly, then stepped out of the way, not planning to make a move. Ryuha's hint is already obvious, she is nothing more than a pawn trying to rebel against fate.
