Chapter 114: Midnight Killing

There is no moon, and the wind is high.

At night, a cold wind blew in the desert, northwest wind. It blew towards the place where the Konoha ninja came, but on the way to the land of fire in the east, it was blocked by the towering mountains and never stopped.

When the whole desert fell silent, the loudest sound was the sound of the sand moving with the wind. One by one, they are moving into the distance, and by the time the sun rises tomorrow, the entire terrain of the desert will be tampered with all over again.

The footsteps of nature can only be stopped by the mountains formed by nature. The sand dunes that are still bulging in front of you during the day may be buried tomorrow...

A flickering bonfire burns outside the tent where the Konoha ninjas live. The huge light of the fire can only illuminate a radius of a few meters at most on a night when there are no stars and moons. Like a firefly in the vast sea of sand, it brings a touch of comfort and warmth to the Konoha ninja who keeps vigil.

In the distance, outside the light of the campfire.

The wizened black shadow pulled out a strange scroll from behind him, and placed it on the already cold sand. The slender and slender hands rolled open the shaft handle on both sides, and the white background was instantly revealed in four large black characters-

"Snake", "Scorpion", "? ”、“? ”...

"Huh, Shin, Wei..." His slender and flexible fingers, the seal instantly filled the chakra, which also made the ninja following behind him vaguely distinguish what kind of seal he knotted at night.

Immediately, it slapped on the font of the scroll...

"Bang!"

The desert, the land of the dead, but also a large number of living creatures live here. In addition to the local natives of the Land of Wind and the ninjas of the Sand Ninja Village, the creatures that can survive here are more or less skilled.

"Bang"!

The shuriken shot with precision, nailing the little thing that was crawling everywhere.

The ninja who threw him then got up from the campfire beside him and stepped forward to draw his shuriken. He took a closer look at the tip of the blade, and the little thing that was still moving...

"The Desert Golden Scorpion, one of the most poisonous poisons in the desert. The poison sac of the tail vertebrae is often used by the sand ninja to refine the deadly toxin. Removal of the caudal vertebrae... Hehe" This is one of the several species that were warned to pay attention to in the "Enemy Country Intelligence" before the attack on the Land of Wind. If you get stung by this little thing, you'll be...!

"Click-"!

Konoha's ninja slashed off his tail vertebrae with a single sword, and just like that, he crossed it with his shuriken and roasted it on the campfire. He clearly remembered the words of the introduction that followed:

"Remove the tail vertebrae, heat it and eat it, high heat and high protein."

Even if an ordinary species is a powerful thing, it is almost impossible to inflict damage on an alert ninja. Even though it was already midnight at this time, the night vigil ninjas around the campfires around the Konoha ninja camp still maintained their due vigilance and combat quality.

"Hey! Look, there's still one. ”

He pointed to the thing that was still crawling on the edge of the fire at the edge of the fire, and successfully diverted the other party's thoughts at the moment. Finally let this foodie take his eyes off his supper.

The ninja who could share a supper alone sniffed the smell of his own roast, and the ninja who had been hooked up with his tongue and wanted to shoot it out.

"Ping!"

After successfully hitting the one that belonged to him, he immediately got up and walked towards his food. And the companion who was eating behind him gave him a thumbs up. I don't know if I will praise myself for the accuracy of my shot, or if I will say that it tastes good...

Bend down and pick up your shuriken.

His own food didn't seem to be pierced by the tip of the blade of the ninja tool, but the little thing's pincers were stuck on his ninja and refused to let go. He picked it up and put it in front of him to observe, it stands to reason that his shuriken technique would not be wrong-yes, pretending to be dead?

"Whew-"

The black shadow beyond the firelight controlled the black rope wrapped around his arm, and he pulled it out with all his might towards the Konoha ninja who was eating supper in the campfire in front of him. The rope-like thing poked at the chewing Konoha Vigil ninja like a sharp arrow.

Looking at what was getting closer and closer to him in front of him, he searched his memory again to tell what it was—the black mamba, the longest poisonous snake in the desert, the most terrifying poisonous snake, the fastest crawling poisonous snake in the world, one of the deadliest poisonous snakes.

But, why does it fly?

In the dark night, it crossed a path of black light in front of its eyes, tightly wrapped around the throat of the Konoha ninja, and became more and more tired.

There was no voice, no noise, and the soft sand absorbed the sound of falling to the ground!

There is no blood, gore, and the volatile blood gas in the air will evoke some experienced Konoha ninja.

Another Konoha ninja who was keeping vigil also whimpered and fell to the ground at the moment when his companion who was entwined in black shadows fell to the ground. The scorpion, which was pretending to be dead, was clamping the mouth he wanted to open and close, and the tail vertebrae were emitting spikes of green and black light, piercing deep into the center of his eyebrows between his eyes.

"Rustle!!"

Then, the scorpions, poisonous snakes and other cold-blooded animals buried in the desert seemed to be driven away. Crawl towards a warmer place with the sound of sand migration.

Where is it warm, where to go...

Moonless nights, cold winds, cold-blooded animals, too, will be cold...

"Attack—"

The thin middle-aged man commanded in a low voice, and only the people around him could hear the voice. Then all the black shadows moved forward little by little, habitually only stepping on the "rustling" sound in the desert!

The sound of "rustling" sounds a little itchy to the spinal cord. It's like the little black insects crawling all over the oil girl, and it seems to get into the clothes...

What is crawling on your own lap?

In his sleep, he used to reach out and scratch it, and the frightened little animal instantly stung down!

"Uh-"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!!"

The Konoha ninja slammed to his feet, and the violent movements instantly stirred up a chain reaction of those cute little things on his body. They are actually cold when they are driven out at night, and as long as they don't hurt them, they will be gentle.

"Ah, watch out for what's on your clothes!" "You have it on your back, too." ...

"Whew-"

In the darkness, the attack of the sand ninja, looking for the source of fear, followed.

After that stab, he quietly licked the stains that had splattered on his face. The mouth kept chattering, chirping, chirping, as if a dark ninja in the night was telling a thirsty story to himself.

"It's a pity that the water in the blood can be easily wasted."

After licking the sticky stuff from the days of dehydration, he moved towards the new howl. These Konoha ninjas, who live so comfortably as to be stupid, don't seem to know that howling in the dark night will only make so-and-so discover your location.

"I'm coming, ha——!"

At the moment when the screams sounded, the Konoha ninjas woke up. When I opened my eyes, I opened the daily difference of my eyes, and habitually observed the situation around me.

"Gossip @ Four Palms - 簌簌..."

Relying on the special vision of the white eyes, Hinata hurriedly knocked out a total of four small things on himself and Mai Trin Rope Tree in the dark with a soft fist. Fortunately, the vision of the white eyes is not affected by the darkness in the tent, otherwise these poisons will be lost in one bite and half a life.

Rushing out of the tent, Hachiki Shuo Shigeru had already begun to kill the invading sand shinobi in the distance.

At this time, Konoha's position was in chaos, and Sha Shinobi prioritized extinguishing the bonfires and light sources everywhere at the moment of attacking.

The ninjas on both sides were in a state of darkness at the same time, so the casualties caused by the enemy were not high. The real casualties caused were those novice Konoha ninjas that the sand ninja killed after looking for the guidance of the screams of fear. It was these poisons in the desert that were driven to take advantage of the darkness and chaos to bite many of Konoha ninjas.

After observing the battlefield in an instant, he found that the night attack of the sand ninja was not scattered, and they seemed to be led by a powerful chakra ninja who tried to gouge through Konoha's camp. At this time, what caused a lot of chaos around the Konoha camp was only a small number of enemy ninjas and a large number of poisons that were driven away.

If the sand ninja succeeds in dividing Konoha's position, it will be easy for the chaotic ninja to flee to the surrounding desert. And the scattered Konoha ninjas in the chaotic and dark desert will be eaten up by the enemy at least half of the scattered ninjas. As if cutting a cake, Sha Ren tried to take advantage of the home advantage to refuse.

"Mai Trin, throw flares and glowing things over the position."

"Hmm!" Mai Trin, who obeyed her words, was extremely intelligent, and instantly threw all the signal flares, detonators, and incendiary objects of the three members of the fifth squad into the air above the camp.

"Bang, bang...!"

The moment the flash of firework appeared, Mai Trin nailed to death several small things crawling around with her shuriken. Girls are still more afraid of these hideous-looking cold-blooded little animals. At this time, the Thousand Hands Rope Tree could only defend itself and stood behind the two of them, and the Water Escape Body Ninja was completely playing soy sauce in this desert.

"Bang bang, bang ——!!"

Then, as if a continuous scene of fireworks, the sky was lit up by explosions of light that illuminated almost the entire camp.

The Konoha ninja who fell into the darkness instantly knew that there was a light source to be made. With just a glimmer of light, a reflexive ninja can quickly get rid of these pesky scorpions, poisonous snakes, and more. But those Konoha ninjas who were bitten by the sting, if they were not treated in time...

"Teacher, at 9 o'clock the enemy is trying to cut the camp!"

Hiza, who opened his white eyes, hurriedly found the figure of Qimu Shuo Mao through Chakra, and instantly told the enemy's intentions and movements at this time.

Even legendary ninjas can only find and identify enemies one by one in a dark and chaotic environment. At this moment, the instant understanding of Qimu Shuo Shigeru abandoned the small commotion here and began to sprint towards the source of the enemy's problem.

In the dark night, the white hair with the wind was not only easy for the enemy to recognize, but even the Konoha ninja of his own side followed after seeing it.

The light of Konoha White Fang invisibly pointed out the right direction to the Konoha ninja in chaos. Hachiki Sakumo didn't travel long, and naturally followed a large number of lost Konoha ninjas behind him.

In the white eyes of Hiza, at this time, Sakumo Hagi led the following Konoha ninjas in the dark, and pointed straight at the enemy's spearhead with the same sharp arrow formation. It's up to the enemy to decide whether they choose to fight tonight...

The thin middle-aged man watched the white-haired man rushing towards him not far ahead. He angrily squeezed his slender hands. And the black thread wrapped around the neck of the Konoha ninja in front of him also lifted up with the volley that instantly contracted with his anger.

"What the hell is this, dragging people up like they were hanging out of thin air?"

The Konoha ninja on the side looked in horror at the black thread thicker than hemp rope, and then saw the black light shoot towards him like an arrow. He wanted to hide, but it was too late...

"Can you—" The pierced chest could no longer breathe, and then collapsed.

After emptying the surrounding enemies, the leader of the sand ninja looked in the direction where Hachiki Shuo Shigeru had killed. I think of the place where the first fire flashed in the sky just now.

"Hmph, it must have been that white-eyed ninja who guided Hachiki Shuo Shigeru here."

The middle-aged Sha Shinobi, who had figured it out, immediately controlled a group of little guys behind him and moved in the direction where the fire was first lit.

"Retreat as planned!"

Knowing that his plan to divide the Konoha ninja army had failed, the middle-aged sand ninja immediately ordered to start withdrawing under cover after giving the order. But he was holding Shinobu Seal's hand, and it seemed that he had been controlling something...

"Bang!!"

Signal flares of different colors flew into the dark night sky, and Sha Shinobi, who had been tortured for a while, licked his lips and began to retreat as originally planned.

"I really hope that Konoha's ninjas can catch up!" After leaving a word, they scattered and disappeared into the darkness.

A chaotic battlefield, but some of the little ones continue to crawl in the opposite direction...
