Chapter 85: The Gap Between the Peaks of Life (Part II)
Hanyu carefully recognized the appearance of the person in front of him, the characteristics of the enemy were not obvious, but combined with the forehead guard on the opponent's head, the special color of the eyes, and the slightly special face contour, plus the appearance of this person who looked between forty and fifty years old, and the "bounty" mentioned earlier...... Hanyu still barely guessed the identity of the other party.
Shouldn't it be the traitor of Takiyin Village, and the later member of the Xiao Organization "North", Kakuto, right? The one who is famous for escaping his life from the hands of the original Hokage?
But why does he look so funny at the moment?
The specific reason is probably impossible to verify, but ten to twenty years ago, the leaders of Takino Country and Takikure Village decided to send the genius ninja Kakudu in the village to assassinate Konoha's first Hokage Senju Pillar.
Then, Kakuto, who accepted this task, finally found the first Hokage who was acting alone outside of Konoha...... This is commendable, after all, not everyone can find the Hokage...... Then, he found an opportunity to orchestrate an assassination.
Then, there is no then.
No one knows the course of the battle except for the two parties on both sides of the battle, but the result of the battle is that Kakuto is seriously injured and dying, and flees in a hurry, and the original Hokage has no.
Regardless of whether the original Hokage released water at that time, but being able to survive from him became the pinnacle of Kakuto's long ninja career.
But for the Thousand Hands Pillar on the other side of the battle, this is not the case at all...... The first Hokage probably turned around and forgot about it. The pinnacle of his career that others have brushed on him is not even a trivial matter the size of a sesame mung bean to him.
Hanyu didn't even think that Konoha would leave any information about Kakuto. If Kakuto's assassination target is the second Hokage, then with Kakuma's kind of character, first of all, he will definitely not let him run away, and secondly, even if he is run, then Kakuma will definitely record all the information about this assassin's height, shortness, fat and thinness, ninjutsu specificity, etc., in order to ask future Konoha ninjas to pay special attention to this person.
However, the first Hokage ...... It is estimated that it is impossible to honestly submit any battle report to the village.
He probably didn't have the idea of "just treat it as if nothing happened", because for the pillars, the assassination of Kakudu had nothing to do...... Who knows how many assassinations the first Hokage was in his lifetime?
Obviously took a huge risk and carried out the mission of assassinating the first Hokage, the success of such a mission was a miracle, and failure was a matter of course, and Kakuto's defeat could not be regarded as a fault.
But when he dragged half his life back from the battlefield to Takikure, instead of being treated like a lone hero, he was punished, and eventually led him to become a traitor.
But in fact, it should be said that when he accepted this task, it meant that he had become a traitor...... If he really succeeds in assassination, how can little Takigaku withstand Konoha's revenge; And if he didn't succeed, how would Takikure bear the personal wrath of the original Hokage?
The Hokage didn't care that this kind of assassination was his own business, but Takikure didn't dare to bet that Hatsudaime would be so generous.
The only way Takikure can bear less, if not less, the anger of Hokage and Konoha is to prove that the person who carried out the assassination has little to do with him.
So the horn must be a traitor.
Later, Kakuto defected after getting Taki's secret technique "Land Resentment", and it's hard to say whether this secret technique was stolen by himself after he turned against the village, or based on the mission he performed, in the case of not being able to extinguish it, out of the necessity of sealing it, Takikure gave him a reward.
But in any case, after Kakudo left Takikushi, he had already cut off contact with the village, and he really became a traitor who was purely self-interested. So the question is, why would this renegade once again do such a high-risk thing as attacking the Hokage?
Someone put a bounty on the head of three generations of Hokage on the black market? Horns are just for the bounty?
Is this person the kind of person who wants money and doesn't want to die?
Hanyu is a little unable to understand Kakuto's survival logic, what does money mean to a ninja?
However, this is not something that he needs to understand. Hanyu put one hand behind his back and quickly made a few gestures to remind his teammates to be ready to do so.
"Don't talk nonsense with them, before the Hokage arrives, deal with them!" The captain of the Shadow Ninja almost played the same code words as Hanyu.
The joke Kakuto made before was not funny at all, Hanyu's group was tasked with protecting the three generations of Hokage, how could they let the enemy get close to the Hokage?
Everyone is friend or foe, what nonsense?!
After the order was given, three Konoha squads rushed towards an equal number of enemies at the same time.
At this time, the actions of Hanyu's team are not blind, not because he is not active in fighting, but because at the moment, these three Konoha teams are just improvised patchwork, and there is no cooperation between them, and if they act in a hurry, they may even be accidentally injured by their own people's ninjutsu, so Hanyu positions his team as a response and support team, not the main attacker.
He doesn't pursue DPS, he just makes up for his teammates.
Sure enough, before Hanyu's squad rushed into the enemy formation, the ninjutsu of the Shadow Ninja had already been completed first.
The sky above this small battlefield was suddenly obscured by a dark cloud, and Hanyu stopped his progress and looked up, only to see a flying saucer carved with a rough and simple line and an unusually hideous appearance of a giant beast pattern carved on the bottom from the sky.
No, to be exact, this thing is more like a flat, round pot lid...... This is the ninjutsu used by the ninjas of the shadows.,Earth Escape, Psychic Technique, Heavenly Cover.。
This thing fell naturally from a high altitude, completely in a state of natural acceleration, and with the ninja's reaction speed, it would definitely not be slapped into a meatloaf unless it didn't have legs.
"Boom!"
With a dull thud, the Celestial Cover slammed into the ground.
Smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the birds in the woods were instantly frightened away collectively.
It had limited lethal effect, but with an attack of this magnitude, the enemy's formation was instantly dispersed and the battlefield was fragmented...... In this way, the Dark Squad, the Uchiha Hyuga Squad, and Hanyu's Squad, respectively, can defeat the enemy one by one.
Kakudu can be considered a powerful ninja, but the average quality of his subordinates is unlikely to be higher than that of Konoha here.
Hanyu is preparing to fight soy sauce, help the "powerful" Uchiha Hinata, and the shadows clean up the trash fish and it's over—even a ninja like Kakuto can't deal with eight elite shinobi at the same time...... Taking a step back, even if he can really defeat one against eight, it is impossible to solve the most elite power of Konoha in an instant, and when the Hokage arrives on the battlefield, the victory here will be laid.
However, just as Hanyu was thinking this, a black figure appeared in the smoke and dust scattered in front of him.
"Young ninjas shouldn't be on a battlefield like this, haven't you been educated like that?"
The person who appeared was Kakuto.
In an instant, Hanyu figured it out, giving priority to the weakest enemy, which is the most normal idea on the battlefield...... For the corners, isn't Hanyu the weakest point on Konoha's side?
Hanyu was not taught what kind of battlefield he should appear on, but he was taught that no matter what kind of enemy appeared in front of him, whether strong or weak, famous or unknown, known or unknown, he must never be stingy!
A silent and bright arc of lightning shot out from Hanyu's body, and his right hand was like a knife, and he stabbed at the enemy who suddenly appeared!
Hanyu is a person who is generally not arrogant, but to be honest, he is a bit ruthless.
