"You've done a good job, and if you search again, there are still some people who haven't been caught."

"Hey." The two ninjas left in an instant.

Aoyagi looked at the two embarrassed children carefully, and was shocked, is it Bai Qiu and Zi Jin? How did they get caught, didn't they let them hide.

"Threesomes, there are only two here, one is missing." The big man who gave orders and looked like a leader slowly approached Bai Qiu and Zi Jin, and asked sharply, "Say!" Where is the other one? ”

Bai Qiu raised his head, his face a little pale: "I, I don't know." ”

Zi Jin suppressed her panic and forced her composure: "He has already left before us and went to the village." ”

The leader leaned down and stared at Sumire indifferently. The long time of staring at each other made Zi Jin uneasy.

"Hmph, you're lying." The leader sneered, "Seeing you like this, are you afraid that he will be discovered?" In other words, another person is actually nearby. I guess he found out something was wrong, told you to hide, and then came over to investigate it himself, right? There are two hits, and they haven't been found yet. ”

Seeing the changes in Bai Qiu and Zi Jin's faces, the leader was even more determined.

"It's just that he didn't expect you to be caught by the people I sent out." The leader smiled maliciously, and he nodded a few people, "Now that you know he's nearby, it's easy to do." You, together with the people on the periphery, are carpet searching from the outside in. I don't believe he can continue to hide. ”

Hearing the leader's words, Aoyagi secretly complained, this is terrible. When the ninja who had gone out from the meeting point crossed him and headed to the periphery, Aoyagi kept his body as low as possible and rushed out.

It didn't take long for Aoyagi to run into an enemy who was searching inside. Their vision was already covered with the road ahead, and there was no way forward. He watched and moved to the left, preparing to get around the enemy. But he didn't go far before he ran into the ninja who was searching.

How do you avoid them?

It's a pity that he hasn't succeeded in developing a ninjutsu that hides in the soil based on the decapitation technique in his heart, otherwise hiding in the soil is very likely to avoid their detection. Further, it is possible to develop ninjutsu that operates in the dirt. I vaguely remember that there seems to be a similar ninjutsu in the original book.

Now you can't avoid it, find a weak point and try to break through. After Aoyagi adjusted his condition and made preparations, he saw the timing and direction and rushed forward.

"Over here!" The ninja who spotted Aoyagi chased after him while beckoning to the others.

After running wildly for a while, Aoyagi was stopped, and after a while, he was surrounded.

"Don't resist, there are so many people, you don't have a chance."

Aoyagi didn't answer, just confronted them.

Seeing that Aoyagi was silent, the ninja who spoke was a little dissatisfied, and waved his hand to the others: "Take him down." ”

Aoyagi secretly regretted in his heart, he couldn't confront each other for a while longer, delaying time for the body. Before the enemy attack arrived, he disarmed the shadow clone and allowed Chakra to return to his main body.

With so many ninjas attacking together, the shadow clone couldn't hold out for long, so it was better to keep some more chakra.

Using the shadow clone to lure away the enemy, Aoyagi, who was shuttling through the dense forest, suddenly got the memories that came back, and he couldn't continue to hide himself and began to run wildly.

After running a few hundred meters, the enemy caught up again, and Aoyagi quickened his pace, burrowed into a dense bush, and rushed out again. By this time, the enemy had formed a pocket behind him, and gradually moved forward, encircling him in the pocket.

Although he had already picked up his pace again, Aoyagi was stopped not long after, and he raised his hands high: "I surrender." ”

A ninja with a fierce look stepped forward and punched Aoyagi directly. Bang, the green willows dispersed into a white mist.

"The leader is right, you have to beat people first after they are caught."

This time, Aoyagi couldn't escape the enemy's search, and was pulled out of the bushes by them.

Carried back to the meeting point, a short ninja walks towards Aoyagi with a straw rope.

Aoyagi thought silently, tie it up, anyway, this kind of straw rope can be untied with a little effort. Submissively putting his hands behind his back, the short ninja walked behind him and tied the straw rope hard.

The leader watched from the sidelines, and suddenly said: "This kid is more troublesome, tie it up with iron chains." ”

Aoyagi barely managed to maintain the flat expression on his face. The chains are hard to break free from, and they are in trouble. Originally, if it was just a straw rope, you could untie it and escape at the first opportunity. It's just that now I can only obey first and wait for changes to appear.

Seeing that Aoyagi was also caught, Bai Qiu and Zi Jin's faces were a little gloomy.

By the time the sun went down, the students in the class were all arrested. Aoyagi looked around silently, except for Chisato whose face was swollen because of violent resistance, the other classmates didn't seem to have any injuries on the surface except for being embarrassed.

"Very good, all the people are together." After listening to a ninja's report, the leader walked up to them, "You guys should be curious to know, where did the leader go?" ”

"The brown-haired ninja who escaped, someone has already gone after him, and as for the other one, well, right here." The leader beckoned to the ninja who had just reported to him, "Bring him up." ”

Araki, who was unconscious, was thrown in front of the students, his breath weak, his clothes stained with blood, and his left arm was still bleeding.

Aoyagi's heart is very heavy, and judging from the breath, the person in front of him is indeed Mr. Araki.

"The waste with the wounded right hand wants to be broken," the leader spatted at Araki on the ground.

At this time, another masked ninja appeared with a whoosh and reported to him, "My lord, the escaped ninja has been dealt with by us." ”

The leader laughed: "Hmph, there is no mistake now. I just don't know how many forbidden techniques you're worth. ”

"Little ghosts, you should be glad that you still have value as bargaining chips, otherwise, you would have died a long time ago."

Even Mr. Sugimoto, who went to ask for help, was sacrificed, and now I can only hope for a rescue that I don't know if it will appear.

Life and death are no longer affected by themselves, which is already determined by the results of the ninja battle negotiations between the two sides.

Hope is shattered, and a faint sense of trepidation begins to creep through the class. Although no one has lost their temper, the emotions of nervousness, helplessness, and fear have become mainstream.

Both uneasy and annoyed, Aoyagi can only keep telling herself not to be manipulated by emotions. It's already like this, it's useless to be annoyed. You can't sit still, you have to think about what you can do and what you can use.

Think about the enemy's strategy and psychology, and what may happen in the future, and formulate countermeasures in advance, so that when the time comes, be prepared, so that opportunities do not slip away.

Prepare for the worst, what if the negotiations fail and Konoha plans to abandon this class? If Konoha takes the opportunity to attack during the negotiation process and tries to rescue him, how will he cooperate?

The best-case scenario is that it won't be long before a ninja finds out that something is wrong, immediately reports to the upper echelons, sends a large number of ninjas to attack head-on to attract attention, and a small group of ninjas sneak in to rescue them.

Aoyagi expects the latter scenario to be the most likely. After all, this is in Konoha Village, there are various monitoring measures, and besides, now that it is dark and the students have not returned home, parents will definitely be worried, and those who are ninjas will report it quickly. In addition, the school also knew that there was a drill going on here, and now that it was past the return time, they must have known that something was wrong.

And although Konoha will not give up this group of students easily, it is unlikely that he will take out the forbidden technique in exchange, and it is most likely to be a strong attack.

After all, compared to Konoha Village, their number is too small. As long as Konoha reacts and launches a large number of manpower to attack, they will definitely not be able to stop it. Even if you want to take a student hostage, it's easy to be controlled by ninjutsu such as illusion and it's difficult to succeed.

So, they had to hide the students and negotiate with Konoha again. As long as the students' location is exposed, they are in danger.

Now, it's a race to speed, whether these outsiders hide the students first, or Konoha Village discovers them first.

So, the first thing to do now is to delay as much time as possible.
