Chapter 39: The Encounter
The night passed, and it was morning.
After yesterday's heavy rainstorm, the sky in the Land of Rain has cleared, but it still looks dim and dark, which may be the characteristic of this country.
Although the village and the ninja village in the Land of Rain both have the word "village" on their names, they are completely different. The village where Lei Luo is now is not much different from the countryside in his previous life, the same dilapidated and poor, vast and sparsely populated.
The place is surrounded by mountains and dense forests. Only the farmland reclaimed on both sides of the avenue and the patches of blue bricks and white tiles that can be seen in the distance can be vaguely discerned.
He didn't rush into the village, which looked empty, but hid under a large tree not far from the village, using his perception to search for the ninjas' locations over and over again.
"One, two...... Thirteen. Lei Luo sensed the reaction of thirteen chakras gathered together, all in a small courtyard in the village. Judging from the numbers, it obviously didn't match the intelligence, so Lei Luo judged that these people should be the rain ninja troops that the rock ninjas were looking for.
So, where did the Iwa ninja go?
Lei Luo was not anxious, it was still early anyway, so just be patient now. If he didn't see the shadows of the two teams of rock ninjas in the evening, he would have no choice but to attack the rain ninjas. Although the rain ninja may not have anything good, he can't come for nothing.
Two hours later, Lei Luo, who had turned on his perception ability for the fifth time, had a changed expression. He sensed that the seven chakra reactions had entered his perceptual range, which should be the Iwa Shinobi force he was looking for.
But why seven? According to the intelligence, there should be only six.
Lei Luo didn't know what happened to make the Iwa ninja temporarily add a team member, and if it was Kiwa Kanji's disappearance that was noticed by the Iwa ninja, then they should have given up the mission.
Why are you here? Is there any name for this extra person?
Lei Luo's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression focused for a few points, and he used his perception ability to detect the movements of the rock ninja with all his might.
The seven chakra points of light representing Iwa Shinobi stopped for a moment after advancing a few hundred meters, and after a while, they moved again, only in a ...... direction this time
"Interesting, you came straight at me?" Lei Luo secretly raised his vigilance and analyzed the current situation: "It seems that the extra one is a sentient ninja, so there seems to be no need to hide it." ”
But it's okay, it saves you a lot of time.
Lei Luo ended his perceptual state and raised his head to scan the surroundings.
I saw a series of earthy yellow figures swishing to arrive, and they stopped on the trunks of nearby trees, faintly encircling Lei Luo in the middle, it was the seven rock ninjas who sensed Lei Luo's existence.
Lei Luo observed these rock ninjas for a while, and found that they were all dressed in standard vests, and most of them were young, only two of them were old-looking, and they were already middle-aged.
The Iwa ninjas were not idle, they were all secretly looking at Lei Luo. They were surprised to see Lei Luo dressed in Konoha costumes: this area belonged to the sphere of influence of the Iwa Ninja, and they hadn't seen a few Konoha ninjas come here since the start of the war.
Neither side was in a hurry to make a move, and in the silent few seconds, they all did their best to search for information with their eyes. Lei Luo was guessing which was Iwa Shinobi's perceptual ninja, and Iwa Shinobi was guessing why Lei Luo dared to come here alone.
In the end, it was a middle-aged Iwa ninja who took the lead to speak: "Konoha ninja? Why are you here? ”
Lei Luo glanced at the person who spoke: I saw that this rock ninja was sturdy and thick, his face was full of meat, and his cold eyes showed a sinister aura between his words, like a fierce giant. Judging from his age and position, this person should be one of the two upper ninja of Iwa Shinobi's operation.
"It's really a pointless question." Lei Luo sneered and replied without being salty.
Another middle-aged Iwa Shinobi asked with a not very good face, "You appeared here, Yuki and Kanji should have already encountered an accident, right?" ”
This guy Lei Luo knows that the captain of the two captives seems to be called something.
The corners of Lei Luo's mouth hooked, and a mocking smile appeared on his face, he did not answer the big question, but said in a casual tone, as if stating the facts: "You will soon encounter accidents. ”
In the face of such an unscrupulous provocation, the faces of all Iwa Shinobi changed, and several young Iwa Shinobi couldn't bear it, and they all roared angrily: "Up! Kill him! ”
"Avenge Yuki and them!"
"Kill!"
Soon, dense kunai shuriken swished towards Lei Luo, filling every inch of space above Lei Luo, which was even mixed with a wind demon shuriken and a few flickering scythes.
Threat-free attacks...... Lei Luo's thoughts flashed, and he quietly turned on the state of double speed, and at the same time, his left hand and fingers were sealed, and after the blurred afterimage of the Dao disappeared, the pale cyan chakra had quickly wrapped around his body.
Lei Luo kicked the ground the soles of his feet, and jumped straight towards those attacking hidden weapons, in his eyes, whether it was kunai, shuriken, or anything else, the fastest speed in mid-air was only a dozen centimeters per second, and there was no possibility of hitting him.
As long as Lei Luo twisted his body back and forth in the air, he could dodge this overwhelming attack without any pressure.
The eyes of the Iwa ninja remained in place, and the images presented on the retina showed that Lei Luo did not make any movements, and it seemed that he was powerless against this dense attack with no dead ends.
As the hidden weapons approached Lei Luo more and more, some young Iwa ninja had happiness on their faces, and it seemed that they had already determined that Lei Luo would definitely die.
Only the two Iwa Shinobi sensed that something was wrong, and their brows furrowed, and he intuitively felt that this unknown Konoha ninja should not be killed so easily.
And the other Iwa Shinobi Shangnin, that is, the strong man with a face full of flesh, suddenly felt that the hairs on his body stood on end at this time, and the brain kept sending warnings, and endless killing intent and killing machines were quietly approaching him.
The strong man felt like he was being targeted by a dangerous hungry wolf, and that disaster was about to come.
Grabbing a scythe that staggered through mid-air, Lei Luo struck at the strong man at a speed that no one present could react to.
Under the cover of the wind, he moved silently, leaking only a little imperceptible blue light. As for what was left in place, it was just an afterimage caused by his too fast speed.
The weapon in his hand was covered with a layer of wind chakra for the first time, Lei Luo twisted his waist and abdomen in mid-air, the muscles of his arm bulged slightly, and with the help of the inertia brought by this sprint, he violently swung a fatal blow towards the sturdy Iwa Shinobi in front of him.
Whoosh-swooh!
There was an inaudible screech, followed by the sound of a blade slicing through flesh.
At this moment, all the rock ninjas noticed that where their leader Shangnin was, a splash of blood was flying, and an arm was weakly floating in the air.
And that Konoha ninja had already approached them at some point, and brazenly launched an attack on their leader, Shangnin.
At this moment, the large pile of hidden weapons thrown out by the Iwa ninja had just arrived at their destination. However, the figure that remained in place was slowly dissipated after being hit by countless kunai shurikens, and it was obviously not an entity.
The thoughts of the Iwa ninja seemed to stand still, but Lei Luo's time was still passing as usual.
Lei Luo's eyes widened, and he looked at the strong man of Iwa Shinobi who was "slowly" retreating backwards with a look of surprise, and was a little surprised by the reaction speed of the other party, who was able to detect his attack in time and dodge quickly, and finally only exchanged one life for the price of one arm.
The strong man of Iwa Shinobi covered the severed arm of his right shoulder with his left hand, and his expression fell from the trunk to the ground with a gloomy expression. What happened just now, he didn't fully react, but relied on the grinding between life and death to detect the danger, and subconsciously made dodging movements.
Again, he wasn't sure if he would be able to get away with it.
"Captain Ishii!" "Are you alright?" "Damn Konoha ninjas!" "This guy is so fast!" Many rock ninjas only completely reacted to what was happening at this time, and they woke up one by one as if they were dreaming and screaming.
With a click, Lei Luo landed from mid-air where his target had just stood. His eyes moved quickly, and in just a moment, he could see the situation in the field: some Iwa Shinobi rushed at him with righteous indignation; "Captain Ishii" gasped heavily, staring at himself with fear on his face; The rest of the Iwa Shinobi's hands are all quickly sealed, presumably preparing some ninjutsu.
Lei Luo smiled indifferently, and then his knees bent slightly, as if regaining strength, and the black scythe that had just been stained with blood in his hand also inadvertently exuded a thick aura of death.
