Chapter Seventy-Four: The Hunter and the Prey
I don't know how long it has passed, but the day has been replaced by the night sky, and the darkness has woven into a black web in the sky, black as an endless abyss, as if it can absorb the whole world.
Fortunately, the night was not very dark tonight, and under the light of the white moon and stars, the surrounding scenery could still be faintly seen outside the suburban plains of the "Land of Fire".
Since the Land of Fire is located in a rich plain area, even in the late spring, the wilderness still gives people a feeling of spring, and in this world that has not yet been eroded by the poison of industry, most of the places still retain the most pristine natural scenery.
"Hurry up! Don't let those two imps catch up! ”
But under this originally quiet night, there were several hurried footsteps and shouts in the open area that should have been surrounded by silence, tearing the original leisurely atmosphere here directly on the spot.
After a while, three warrior armors dressed in dirty and messy armor with blood stains everywhere, looking like remnants, appeared on this moon-stard plain.
The person at the front has a tall figure with a very oppressive feeling, and under the weed-like messy hair is a weathered hideous face, and obvious scar marks can be seen on the face, obviously the owner of this face has an abnormal life that is different from ordinary people.
And the two guys who followed this person, although not so powerful, also looked fierce, just by a glance, let people know that this person is not good, plus each of them has a real katana at their waists, it is not difficult to guess their identity.
Damn it! Who the hell are those two imps! Next year, he looks like he is just a fledgling, but the fight is not ambiguous at all!
When the three of them fled in a hurry, the man led by him spitted on the ground fiercely while running, but he was secretly cursing in his heart.
Don't look at the face of this big warrior brother now, but a few hours ago, he and his team of bandits were still known as villains in the north of the Fire Country.
Due to the border between the land of fire and the "Land of Iron", which retains the customs of the samurai, some of the samurai of the Land of Iron occasionally come to this rich land of the world's most livable life, or become mercenaries to work for others, or fall into the grass to rob their homes.
The samurai named Kojiro chose the latter, and he recruited a bunch of subordinates and taught them swordsmanship with the swordsmanship he learned from the samurai group in the Iron Country, and lived a leisurely life for a while by being the king of the mountain.
But tonight it was all over, the mountain where they had set up the camp was suddenly attacked, and most of Kojiro's men were killed on the spot in the camp, and he was the only one who managed to escape with two henchmen.
And it wasn't an experienced ninja who attacked them, it was just ...... It's just two little ghosts!
What kind of fucking world is this, it's unreasonable, thinking of this, Kojiro sighed unconsciously, if he loses to a professional ninja, then he has nothing to say, but being chased around by two little ghosts, it's too embarrassing.
"Found it! Over here! ”
Rumble! Just when Kojiro's mind was a little distracted, he only heard a wild roar floating over their heads! At the same time, a high-speed moving figure also appeared above the three of them like lightning!
Then, a teenager with a cute puppy on his shoulder and a hood on his head fell from the sky and stopped in front of Kojiro! The impact of that stance when it landed even smashed a shallow hole in the ground in front of them!
"It's so slow, you guys, Uncle Ben has deliberately delayed it for so long, and it's only been so long before you can run such a distance."
Looking at the three robber samurai who hurriedly drew their katana and pointed it at themselves, with an ugly look on their faces, this young man, toothed had a boring expression on his face.
The moonlight fell on the plains, and the shiny tip of the knife looked very sharp in the moonlight, but in the eyes of the teeth it was no different from a few teething sticks.
It is human nature to fear sharp weapons, but not Tooth, because in the past two months, he has become accustomed to dealing with sharp weapons, and even if he is poked in front of his eyes, he will not frown.
"Boy, be a man and leave a line, I want to see you in the future, there is no need to do things so ......"
Originally, Kojiro was going to escape by mouth to see if he could force the other party back, but before he could finish his words, a murderous aura like a beast suddenly exploded! The figure of the tooth suddenly disappeared in place!
Damn it! Fight!
When he saw this little ghost disappear in place, Kojiro only felt a chill all over his body, and then he reached out and grabbed a companion next to him very unjustly, and blocked it like a shield on his side!
Boast! In the next second, Fang's fist slammed into his companion's face, knocking him unconscious.
But at the same time, I saw a chakra-infused blade pass through the chest of this comatose companion! Under the cover of the human body, it stabs directly at the throat of the tooth! What a vicious method!
But just when Kojiro's sword was less than a punch away from Fang's throat, his lower plate, which was originally standing firmly, suddenly tilted to the side!
What the? When the sword slashed past the enemy's throat, Kojiro looked at his feet in surprise and realized that a puppy had rushed out of nowhere! Hit his head on the ankle! This upsets the balance of this sword!
Before Kojiro could react, Tooth's body had already jumped up with the power of the step, and appeared directly above Kojiro after jumping over the body of the robber samurai who was killed by his own boss!
In the moonlight, the sturdy figure looked like a bird of prey that was jumping up and pounced on its prey! While the human body structure is not as lethal as the claws of a bird of prey, the chakras that cover the teeth on both hands and feet make up for it.
In an instant, the power of the wild exploded vividly on him, and the samurai armor worn by Kojiro was torn and crushed like a strip of cloth, and the whole person flew backwards with blood spitting out of his mouth, and fell to the ground motionless after a few struggles......
"Ahhhh What is this! At the same time as Kojiro fell to the ground, another companion who ran out with him not far away also let out a desperate cry.
When he saw the tooth appear, the less daring robber almost instinctively wanted to run, but before he could run a few meters, a black and oppressive thing suddenly gushed out from the originally green grass on the ground! It was like a tidal wave that wrapped him up and lifted him into the air several meters high!
"Hey, hey, hey! Okay, these are still my prey, Shino. But when he saw that the last person was swallowed by a surging "parasite" and wrapped in mid-air like a cocoon, Fang shouted loudly to the tree next to him.
After hearing the dissatisfaction of his companion, Shino, who was staying in the tree, put on the sunglasses on his nose, and said after landing lightly: "It's because your movements are too slow, if he runs away, he won't have to chase for half a day, which will make us unable to return to Konoha before the morning." ”
At this time, Fang had no choice but to grab the two robbers who were no longer breathing, and drag them towards the camp not far away, like dragging dead dogs.
Soon after, Ya and Shino were standing in a quiet and terrifying bandit camp, which was originally crowded with hundreds of big men, but at this time there were only a large number of figures lying on the ground.
"So it's already the twelfth of the month."
Looking at the camp around him, which had just been a mess by the two of them, Fang showed a satisfied expression, although he was a little tired after a long night of fighting.
"To be precise, it's the thirteenth, but since the first C-level mission Yuxing also came over, it probably can't be regarded as the two of us completing it independently."
After tapping the number of robbers who fell to the ground, Shino casually made some notes in his notebook, but his tone was still very flat.
Yes, now Ya and Shino are on a C-level mission "Exterminate the bandit gang on the mountain", and it is just the two of them from beginning to end, and Mr. Red and Yuxing have not even followed.
