Chapter 9: Ambush
"What the hell!"
The weather was overcast, the clouds were compact, and it looked like rain was about to fall. It rains all year round in the Land of Rain, and the members of Akatsuki have long been used to it. However, this unbearable environment made the already nervous Xiao members' hearts even tighter.
One of Xiao's members took a sip and said to Xiao Nan beside him, "Lord Xiao Nan, this is not good!" ”
Xiao Nan looked around, and for the sake of safety, Yahiko deliberately asked her to lead her people and horses to guard the path behind the negotiation point, just in case.
"Watch out for the guards!"
It's just that Sanshoyu Hanzo is so old and spicy, and he has long seen through Yahiko's deployment.
In the woodland around the path, many rain ninjas lurked in ambush.
The rain ninja who has been placed in a cruel environment since he was a child is especially proficient in the art of assassination and concealment. This point is not comparable to the improvised patchwork of Xiao members. The nails that Xiao Nan had been waiting for in the forest in advance were soon pulled out one by one by Yuyin.
Suddenly, danger has come, like a pack of wolves staring at their prey.
"Do it!"
With a command, Shadow Absolute slowly stretched out its deadly fangs from the darkness. Before this group of Yuyin could figure out what was going on, they were quietly harvested their lives.
By the time Xiao Nan discovered the problem and went to inspect the woods, there was nothing else at the scene except for the bodies of Yuyin and Xiao.
"Oops!"
Although they didn't know who helped them, Sanshoyu Hanzo was obviously not at ease, and almost immediately, Xiao Nan rushed to the negotiation site.
........
"Thank you for your help, but you have helped us a lot, and the leader is waiting for you ahead!"
Approaching the predetermined place of negotiation, Yahiko and Nagato waited for the messenger of Sanshoyu Hanzo.
"Then you're in for you!"
Yahiko nodded gently, a formulaic smile on her face.
"Yahiko, Nagato, there is a fraud in the transaction!"
Just as Yahiko and Nagato were about to enter the predetermined negotiation location, which was also the ambush site prepared by Sanshoyu Hanzo and Shimura Danzo, Konan's voice appeared behind him.
The messenger of Sanshoyu Hanzo turned around, and the kunai in his hand was inserted into Yahiko's throat. He is a messenger and a dead soldier, just in case.
With Xiao Nan's reminder, Yahiko had already prepared. The moment he heard the voice, Yahiko's entire body tensed and dodged backwards.
Kunai got closer and closer, and just as the messenger was about to succeed, Nagato appeared behind him with precision, giving the messenger a fatal blow.
Nagato gave Yahiko a smile, and Yahiko also breathed a sigh of relief. The mottled edge on the kunai indicated that it was smeared with poison, and as long as it was stained with a little, he was afraid that he would die.
Looking at Konan, who was joining them, Yahiko issued an order to retreat urgently without even asking what was going on.
........
When Akatsuki retreated, he collided with the ninja of Yugakure, and was detected by Hanzo, the waiting Sansho Fish.
"It seems that these insects are not as incompetent as they imagined!"
Shimura Danzo, who was sent to command the Konoha Shadows, said meaningfully, and the mocking sound in his tone made Sanshoyu Hanzo feel very faceless.
Whether it's Sanshoyu Hanzo or this Konoha Kamishinobi, they are both shrewd characters. In order to solve Xiaoxiao, they made a precise plan. The entire ambush link has been scrutinized, and there is no way to go wrong.
In addition, the personnel who went to ambush Xiao Nan in advance showed their feet, so that the leader of Xiao was vigilant.
Beforehand, Hanzo had assured Shimura Danzang that Yuyin, who went to ambush Xiaonan, was the elite of his village. But when it came to the end, something went wrong.
"No, these people are nothing more than a rabble. Even if something goes wrong with the people I sent, it will be enough to wipe out the danger in the cradle, and this will never happen. Unless, something else intervenes! ”
Sanshoyu Hanzo muttered that he had absolute confidence in his men.
"Need help? If I go back like this, I won't be able to explain it to Danzo-sama! ”
Sanshoyu Hanzo glanced at this dark shinobi and said, "Yuyin's matter is solved by Yuyin himself!" The ninjas of Konoha just need to block the necessary intersections! ”
The man closed his mouth in a daze, he knew very well who the person in front of him was, just a few words of sarcasm in secret, he wouldn't be happy to go up and find it clearly.
Kamishinobi waved his hand, and the ninjas in the shadows of Konoha quickly left the area, heading in the opposite direction from the rain hidden ninjas under Hanzo's hands.
The hunt began.
Just as Sanshoyu Hanzo judged, the members of Akatsuki were just improvised patchwork because of a belief, and even if they were trained, they were in the minority, and they were not at all the opponents of the long-time Rain Hidden Ninja.
But in one day and one night, Xiao's members have lost a lot.
In the middle of the night, in the cave, a bonfire is lit.
"Bastard! Bastard! ”
Seeing that the Akatsuki organization, which he had worked so hard to pull up, had suffered heavy losses in Hanzo's conspiracy and was almost wiped out, Yahiko, who had just escaped from danger, let out an uncontrollable roar, pounding the rock wall with both hands, rustling.
In the cave, only Xiao Nan who wanted to comfort but didn't know where to start was left and Nagato, who looked indifferent.
For Nagato, as long as Yahiko and Konan are not harmed, then nothing else matters.
"Yahiko, you calm down first. It's already surrounded by Hanzo's people, so it's better to think about how to get out of here first! ”
"I can use the power of these eyes....!"
"No way!"
As soon as Nagato spoke, he was denied by Yahiko.
"Using the power of the eye of reincarnation, it will hurt your body too much. And...! ”
"Moreover, whether it is Hanzo or Konoha people, they are too scattered at the moment, and you can't guarantee that they will all be wiped out. Once the news of the Eye of Reincarnation leaks out, it will be more than just Sanshoyu Hanzo who will deal with you at that time! ”
In the cave, the sudden sound made Yahiko and the three of them immediately vigilant. The three of them looked almost in horror at the rock wall not far away, when was there a person hidden, and they didn't notice it at all?
Konan and Nagato stopped in front of Yahiko as a guard!
"Don't worry, I'm not hostile!"
Shikamaru's figure slowly walked out of the darkness, somewhere between light and darkness.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Someone who can help you!"
"Why should we trust you?"
Yahiko asked.
"You can ask Xiao Nan beside you, if it weren't for me, I'm afraid you would have already fallen into Hanzang's ambush!"
In the cave with a faint firelight, looking at the three people who were in doubt, Shikamaru raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
