Chapter 20: I Have Hole Cards
After a few days of not seeing, Shizang looked a little sluggish, but when he saw Yasuo and a few people, he immediately regained his high-spirited master demeanor, patted his chest and said that he would definitely take good care of these little brothers on the way back.
Yasuo and Jiraiya also struggled to shout a few words like "Long live Lord Shizo", and boarded Kuroki's carriage.
When he returned, the carriage was much empty, and it was no longer filled with grain, but with many goods that were special to the Fire Nation.
In addition to traditional goods such as ceramics and tea, Yasuo actually discovered that the old boy Kuroki was actually a fashionable person.
He bought a lot of cameras and film, intending to take them back to the Land of Rain to sell.
Unlike the time of Naruto, when cameras were already popular, and even the establishment of ninja archives had to take pictures, now this is the latest invention of the Fire Nation, at least Yasuo is the first time he has seen a camera.
Maybe I was scared of the bandits when I came, and the road was much more comfortable.
Yasuo blows Xiao for a while, tinkers with his camera for a while, takes a few landscape photos, and then eats and plays dead in the carriage.
After all, it's still too hot.
By the third day, the weather had cooled down, and the convoy was in the middle of a large green mountain with beautiful scenery everywhere.
Yasuo held up the camera around his neck and patted him.
Although the camera was only borrowed from Uncle Kuroki, Kuroki had agreed to wash the photo out and give it to Yasuo.
"Something is wrong!"
Just when Yasuo was patting everywhere in the spirit of taking one more shot, and the film didn't need money anyway, Orochimaru keenly noticed the abnormality around him and whispered.
And the experienced Shizang had already entered the alert mode, ordering the convoy to stop slowly.
At this time, Yasuo, who is a rookie, also found something suspicious, quiet, it was too quiet, the birds and cicadas had disappeared without knowing when, and the silence of the whole valley made people feel a little gloomy.
Kuroki and the men skillfully hid in the carriage.
Shizang jumped down from the carriage, moved his neck, and said with a sneer: "It seems that there are a lot of friends here!" ”
He wasn't too nervous, a bunch of bandits, just a bunch of miscellaneous fish for his veteran shinobi.
In fact, Shizang easily saw through several simple traps, and knocked down more than a dozen thieves like chopping melons and vegetables.
"Avenge the bosses!"
Twenty or so more bandits rushed forward without fear of death.
"Stupid!"
Shizang sneered and quickly sealed in his hand.
Like rain and dew, the unique C-level ninjutsu of rain ninja can fall on the human body as quietly but very densely as rain, and it is a small-scale group injury ninjutsu.
This is the only C-rank ninjutsu mastered by Shizang, and although the damage per unit is not high, it is the most suitable to use it to end this battle.
And Yasuo held the camera and took a slam of it, and Jilai also shouted on the side, Lord Shizang was mighty and domineering.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
As a lower ninja, Shizang's C-level ninjutsu sealing speed is not fast, but it is not something that this group of bandits can take advantage of.
But a bandit who was lying on the ground in the chest after being hit in the chest by Shizo slowly stood up from behind him.
Before Yasuo and the others could say a word to remind, with a bang, the thief who deceived the corpse slashed at Shizang's neck with a knife, and the latter didn't snort, and slowly went limp down.
"Hmph, the ninja of the emerging country of the rain country, it's very arrogant, but it's a pity that the strength doesn't match!"
After the sneak attack was successful, the "bandit" sneered and took out a forehead guard from his arms and tied it to his head.
"Traitor! The traitor of the country of grass! ”
Orochimaru had come to Yasuo and Jiraiya's side at some point, and faintly blocked in front of the two, he looked at the mark on his forehead that had been scratched by kunai, and his face was heavy.
"Yo, little ghost, don't you have a good knowledge, it seems that you are not ordinary little ghosts, but it doesn't matter, I didn't plan to leave anything alive."
The grass ninja took out a handful of kunai from his hand and said suspiciously.
"That, ninja-sama, these people are just children, don't you think there's no need to ......?"
A man who looked like a bandit leader on the side spoke up at this time.
"What do you say? Are you directing me to do things? ”
The traitor who called himself the grass pheasant raised the bandit leader and said viciously.
The bandit leader was so stuck in his throat that he couldn't speak, and he hurriedly shook his head with his hands and feet.
Throwing the bandit leader on the ground, the grass pheasant said coldly: "Remember, I am responsible for completing the task, you are responsible for preparing the 500,000 bounty, and you don't care about anything else!" ”
Due to the previous extermination of the bandits, Shizo was put on the underground black market, and the grass pheasant was the bounty hunter who came to do the task.
500,000 to buy a ninja's life, this reward will already make many bounty hunters excited.
Perhaps Yasuo should be glad that the horn didn't see this task, otherwise there would be no room for maneuver now.
The grass ninja in front of him is just a lower ninja or a weaker middle ninja, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to use such a trick as pretending to be dead to deal with Shizang.
Although it is acceptable for ninjas to use any means, such as women's clothing, in order to complete the task, except for some people with quirks, everyone still chooses to solve the problem in a decent way when they are generally sure.
Apparently Orochimaru and Jiraiya had figured this out, and the tacit understanding between the best friends made them look at each other and nodded.
Yasuo meant: I still have hole cards, I can maneuver.
Orochimaru's meaning: Although I may die here, I still have some hole cards, hoping to cover Yasuo-kun and you leave.
Jiraiya means: that...... I'll just take a look......
Seeing that the three imps in front of him took out their weapons and held them in front of him, the grass pheasant licked the corners of his mouth and sneered: "The little ghost of the ninja school? Want to take a shot at a powerful shinobi? Hehe, that's interesting! ”
As soon as the words fell, the figure of the grass pheasant disappeared from the field of vision of the three of them.
"Yasuo-kun be careful!"
With Orochimaru's exclamation, the grass pheasant appeared at Yasuo's side, holding a sharp kunai in his hand.
As a physical-type ninja with insufficient chakra, leaving no future is the consistent principle of the grass pheasant.
It was only because the grass pheasant was interested in the swordsmanship of the rain country that he used the hand knife to deal with Shizo before, so he left a living mouth.
The sharp kunai cut into Yasuo's white and tender neck, as if cutting into a piece of tofu, and the grass pheasant licked the corner of his mouth, he looked forward to the moment when the blood spurted out.
"Yasuo!"
"Yasuo-kun!"
Jiraiya and Orochimaru shouted in unison, the flames of despair and anger boiling in their chests!
