The crescent moon hangs high, and the moon is cold.

In the dense woods, a little moonlight sprinkled through the branches and leaves, but more places were swallowed up by the shadows of the trees, and it felt as if there were powerful ghosts hiding in them, and they would suddenly burst out at any time, making people feel chills down their spines all the time.

Silent, Kushina hugged Dumb and shrunk his shoulders, his eyes wandering around vigilantly, carefully following Dumb's direction to walk among the shadows of the trees.

Suddenly, Dumb, who had been shrinking into her arms, let out a low groan, and her head began to look in the direction of the left front, while her little paws kept patting Kushina's hand, looking a little restless.

"What's wrong?" Jiu Sinai said in a low voice, and then reacted, his little face froze, and he slowed down his steps and slowly moved in the direction of the left front.

Suddenly, Kushina heard an extremely small voice coming from the shadows in front of her, and her steps froze, and she knew that she had found her target.

The voice was intermittent and not clear, and Jiu Sinai wanted to get closer, but found that the dumb in his arms had shrunk his little head, and the hair on his whole body stood up and trembled slightly, as if there was an extremely terrifying existence in front of him.

Jiu Sinai immediately gave up the idea of moving forward, bent his body and carefully hid under the roots of the tree, looked at the dumb who shrugged his ears and his eyes were fluttering, and gently leaned out to look in the direction of the sound, but it was only darkness in his eyes, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

In the shadow under a large tree.

"Suddenly leave a secret message, summon me out, it seems that you are preparing to leave."

It was a man's voice, the owner of the voice covered in a black cloak, but with a white mask without any pattern on his face, making it difficult to discern his face.

Yukiko Ito clasped her hands around her chest, and her tone was cold, "Well, don't talk nonsense, you know my task, did you bring something?" ”

The man in the cloak didn't care about Yukiko Ito's direct and unreasonable attitude, even if he had the strength of the shinobi himself, he didn't dare to despise this seemingly weak shinobi on the outside.

took out a scroll from behind him, handed it to the girl in front of him, and said quietly, "The information in it was obtained at the expense of many of our colleagues, so be sure to bring it back to the village!" ”

The man in the cloak was not worried about Yukiko Ito's strength, he was afraid that she would cause an accident herself, he couldn't figure out why the village would send her, even if he was in Konoha all the year round, through communicating with his colleagues who had several connections, he also knew that she was unstable in the mission, or willful.

Yukiko Ito reached out and took the scroll, opened it in front of the cloaked man, and after checking it in the faint moonlight, she frowned, "Are you sure this information is true?" ”

The cloaked man nodded and said in a deep voice, "Don't doubt it, after all, I've been lurking in Konoha for so many years as a shadow, and it's not impossible to get in touch with this kind of core secret, not to mention that we have sacrificed a lot of companions for this, but it is precisely because of this special period that the village needs to use me, and you'd better not have any accidents after that." ”

Yukiko Ito put the scroll away, glanced at the man in the cloak, and said in a slightly cold tone, "Okay, even if that's not your business, I'll leave it to me next, don't worry about it." ”

The man in the cloak nodded, not caring about the other party's disrespect, "Then please, I'll go back right away, so as not to be suspected." ”

After speaking, the cloaked man's hands were sealed, and with a soft "poof", it turned into a puff of smoke, but he used the escape technique to leave in an instant.

It's just that......

Neither Kushina nor Yukiko Ito noticed that there were still two pairs of eyes in the darkness to take this scene into their eyes.

Judging from the faint moonlight, judging from the outfit on its body, the owner of both pairs of eyes is a member of the dark side of Konoha.

After the Shiraishi Kei incident, Hagi Sakumo followed the orders of the three generations and adjusted the dark part that originally monitored and protected Kushina from one to two, and it was also an elite ninja whose strength had reached a special upper ninja level, and the two joined forces, even if it was an ordinary upper ninja, it was not necessarily advantageous.

As for why he didn't directly use Shangnin to supervise Kushina, one reason was that in this special period, it was difficult for the dark department to draw out even one detachment leader level, and there was also Jiushina, who believed that in Konoha and no one could quietly hurt Kushina, who could be harmed by the two dark elites.

The two shadows were originally secretly carrying out the task of guarding Kushina, but they didn't want Kushina to suddenly follow Yukiko Ito, so that they could discover this unusual scene, even if they didn't hear the words of the cloaked man and Yukiko Ito, they understood what was going on.

The two exchanged glances, and by the faint moonlight, they communicated in sign language.

[How to deal with it, the person in the black cloak, judging from the degree of the instantaneous technique he just used, his strength is at least at the level of ninja, and it is very likely to lurk in the village, and the harm is no longer comparable to ordinary spies, and it must not be ignored.] ]

[It's just that our mission is to monitor and protect Kushina, and it's not something we need to meddle in outside of the scope of the mission, but the spy who may be the shinobi is really tricky.] ]

[In this way, one of us will go to track down the guy in the black cloak, and the rest will stay to protect the mission target, and the strength of that female scout is only at the elite mid-ninja level at most, and it can't reach the upper ninja, but if you just protect the target, one person is enough.] ]

[Just keep the target safe, no problem.] In addition, the female spy may have the secrets of the village, and if possible, I will solve them together, and if it is too tricky, I will find a way to hold her back and make a big move to attract reinforcements. ]

After just a few breaths of exchange, the two dark ministers decided on a plan, one of them nodded, and his figure flickered, disappearing into the darkness without a trace.

After the companion left, one of the remaining shadows continued to monitor the situation in the field, ready to strike at any time.

Suddenly, the face under the mask of the dark part changed, and it was obvious that there was another change in the field, and without hesitation, the figure flickered and disappeared in an instant.

I had been paying attention to the voice in the shadows in the distance, and suddenly found that the sound was interrupted, and then it did not continue to come out, and the little face was suddenly stunned, "Have they already left, not good!" ’

Kushina hurriedly crawled out from under the tree roots, leaning out to get closer.

"You're looking for me, little sister......"

The sudden sound behind her made Kushina's heart beat sluggishly, this voice was the girl she had been following just now, and in an instant, cold sweat began to emerge from her forehead.

Turning his body stiffly, he saw the girl with her hands around her chest, looking at herself with a smile, Jiu Sinai's breathing began to become slow, and an ugly smile appeared on her little face, "Hello sister, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence!" Hehe! ”

Yukiko Ito's eyes were playful, as if she was looking at a plaything, and she pursed her lips and smiled, "My little sister can't remember at such a young age, and it shouldn't be a coincidence that she has been with me for a long time!" ”

Jiu Sinai's eyes suddenly froze, and he couldn't believe that he had been discovered a long time ago.

Immediately, without hesitation, he had already held out the kunai behind him and threw it at Yukiko Ito.

Laugh at!

Yukiko Ito had a smile on her face, tilting her head to avoid the kunai that shot at her head, and at the same time, her slender palm had appeared on the kunai's trajectory at some point, and she suddenly clenched.

"Giggle...... The little sister is so naughty, but ...... My sister likes you like this! Fingers nimbly played with Kushina's kunai, and Yukiko Ito's delicate tongue licked her lips.

But in her sight, after Jiu Sinai threw the kunai, she didn't hesitate, grabbed Dumb, and turned around to run away.

The brain was surprisingly calm at this moment, Jiu Sinai didn't expect his tricks to hurt the other party at all, the real purpose was just to create a chance for himself to escape.

Yukiko Ito stared at Kushina's back as she quickly moved away, her smile blooming like a Rose, her eyes cold and bloodthirsty.

Immediately, he raised the arm holding Kunai and aimed at Kushina's fleeing figure.
