Chapter Twenty-Four: Penetration

The four of them looked around for a while with expectant expressions, and then they saw the village marked on the map, but when they approached happily, they found that although the village was an ordinary village, it was full of strangeness.

"Kenkage, Nagata, and Aoika, the three of you are investigating the situation in the village separately, and I'll try to get in."

Kenkage has no objection to Kai's request, and Aoi and Nagata are happy to accept the opinion.

Mike Kay's expression was serious, and from a distance, he could see a corpse lying on the inside of the fence of the house near the edge of the forest, and the murderer was extremely cruel, not only the head of the man, but also one hand and one leg were cut off. "Since there is no objection, let's go! Be careful not to alarm the enemy. ”

"Understood."

The sword shadow circled to the left side of the village, separated the shadow clone again, and used the transformation technique to transform into the villagers of this village, and entered the village carefully.

As the only human gathering place within a radius of 100 miles, this village is poor, but it occupies a huge area, and the area spread out is equivalent to the central area of the town of the Fire Country. But because there are no tall buildings blocking it, it is easy to see the forest on the edge of the village.

After a while, Jian Ying saw two men carrying inferior long knives, their appearance was very fierce and savage, they couldn't describe it specifically, anyway, they didn't look like good people at a glance.

The words of the two of them were understood by Jian Ying, but there was a strange accent.

They walked into the house where the Sword Shadow was hidden, and when they walked inside, they began to rummage through the animals, but there was nothing in the house, they took out the iron tools they had found casually, poured the edible rations together and carried them on their backs, and then walked outside without realizing it, and returned the way they came.

The shadow of the sword hung from afar, following them to the largest building in the center of the village.

"Huh? Mr. Kai! And Aoixiang! ”

I didn't expect to see them here, unexpectedly, the security force of the village is not high, otherwise it would not have allowed Kwai Xiang to touch it so easily, with the speed of the sword shadow, if it wasn't for the two guys just now, it would have arrived a long time ago.

After a while, another group of fiercely dressed men returned with iron tools and rations on their backs, and behind them the sword shadow saw Nagata's figure.

"These guys really don't have a sense of vigilance, so it's okay to save the effort."

Originally, I wanted to rest, but I didn't expect to encounter such an accident, Mike Kay and his party are afraid that only the sword shadow is happy about this, and the opening of the blood essence stone makes him excited, but how to open other equipment is not clueless, obviously, there is no other way than to kill people now.

The courtyard in front of him was made of wooden stakes half as thick as three people high, and at least five people dressed like the people they had seen before leaned out half of their bodies to monitor the outside world, as if they were guarding against something.

Jian Ying faintly heard the child's cry, the cry was covered by something, but it couldn't escape Jian Ying's perception.

The cultivation method of the spiritual power of the Luoshen clan is too rigid, but because Sword Shadow has valued Chakra's control since he was a child, he can refine and master it.

Concentrating on the chakra, in an instant, it was like the skin of the body suddenly dispersed into the air, and the sword shadow's perception of the surroundings suddenly increased, and in less than a ten-thousandth of a second, the perception range spread to a kilometer away.

This ability was developed on the road after the mission of the Ghost Country, and he began to exercise Chakra's refined control at the age of three, and until not long ago, a full nine years of hard work allowed him to "soften" the spiritual power exercised by the secret art of the Luo Fall clan. This kind of "softness" is very remarkable, and the information obtained from it is far more than before, according to Luo Shenming, to achieve the ability to perceive people in the distance, the cultivation of this person in illusion will inevitably reach the level of upper ninja.

Even if the blood essence stone is supported, Jian Ying doesn't think that he has the strength to be ninja, and to have such a result is nothing more than his control over Chakra has reached a new level. The most obvious feature is the application of the sword shadow to medical ninjutsu, which has been recognized by Uncle Kuishan.

“…… I didn't expect there to be a basement here, and there were seven powerful people...... Is it him? Twenty-six in total on the ground. ”

The building in front also has a basement that is no smaller than the ground area, and there is not only a basement there, but also a cellar in the surrounding yard, some of which are hidden. Sword Shadow didn't care about these people, and what made him focus was a familiar chakra in the building, the samurai who had escaped from the last mission.

For this matter, Jian Ying really doesn't know how to evaluate it, the distance of nearly a thousand miles, it can still let the two of them continue to meet, what can Jian Ying say about this, this is simply God letting the two of them kill each other!

Now is not the time to do it, get ready to join up with Mike Kay and listen to him first.

From Nagata, Kenkage learned that there were many dead people in the village, and Kai-sensei even met a child hiding in the cellar. Through the questioning of the children, it was learned that the village had encountered bandits, and most of the villagers were driven to the shrine, which is the building in front of the sword shadow.

The shrine worships the mountain god to express the villagers' reverence for nature, and at the same time, the shrine's tall fence plays a role in blocking foreign enemies, but unfortunately they did not expect that the enemies who came over would be so powerful, and the fence more than four meters high could not stop them.

"Mr. Kai, I sensed the enemies inside just now, and one of them was the one we encountered last time."

"Encountered? Your friend! Kai's reaction made Kenkage suddenly feel defeated, but fortunately, Nagata and Aoi Xiang were relatively normal.

Nagata said to Kai, "Teacher, Kenkage is talking about the robbers we encountered last time. Didn't you say that one of them ran away when dealing with the robbers who came after the bread? ”

"Is there such a thing?!"

Looking at Kai's serious expression, Jian Ying lowered his head: "Maybe I'm mistaken." Teacher, what now? Do you just go in or wait until it gets dark before diving inside? ”

Aoi Xiang and Nagata saw that the sword shadow directly skipped the topic just now, and their hearts ran over a thousand grass and mud horses.

Mike Kay propped his chin and spoke without much thought: "Wait until it gets dark before diving in, but we also have to prevent accidents, I heard from the child that many families in the village have cellars, so there must be survivors, you rescue people first and gather them together to protect them." ”

"Understood." The three of them said in unison.

Watching the sword shadow leave, Kai touched his chin and said to himself, "It seems that something important has been forgotten?" What is it...... Forget it, let it be. ”

Mike Kay had indeed forgotten important things, and in his capacity, he could have issued C-level mission orders to the three Sword Shadows according to the rules of the wartime system. It is equivalent to saying that the three of Sword Shadow are now on a C-level mission, and when they return to the village, they can add a stroke to their resumes, but it's a pity......

Fortunately, this is not officialdom, otherwise Mike Kay's omission would have been hated to death by the three of Sword Shadow.

Sword Shadow's perception increased greatly, and it was easy to find the person who was hiding, and it only took twenty minutes for the three of them to bring the villagers out. Panicked villagers look happy to learn that they are not robbers but Konoha ninjas, and when Kenkage asks if there are other shelters nearby, a pregnant woman stands up and tells the trio about another place to take refuge.

So, under the protection of Jian Ying and the others, a group of more than 30 people walked towards the waterfall four kilometers away from the village.

The waterfall was really big, and you could hear the sound of the waterfall falling from afar, which was deafening when you got closer.

Looking at the waterfall with a vertical drop of nearly 80 meters, Jian Ying sighed for this natural creation. The water falls from a high place, and before it reaches the bottom of the waterfall, it dissipates into the air and shrouds the valley in mist.

The people entered the waterfall along the rock wall under the waterfall from a small place where only one person could walk, and only by entering it could they know that there was something in it.

"Don't have a hole." Not only Kenkage, but Nagata and Aoika didn't expect that the villagers' shelter would be such a place.

The villagers, who knew everything about the place, were busy in an orderly manner, and even the five-year-old children followed the instructions of the older children to light the oil lamps in the corners.

From here, it can be seen how important the daimyo of Konoha ninja is in this world, and even the villagers who are close to the wilderness are not wary of them.

There was a fire in the cave, and everything inside was ingested by the three of them.

The cave under the waterfall has a lot of space, and if a group of monkeys live here, it is no different from the mythical water curtain cave in the memory of Sword Shadow. Sword Shadow didn't know that there really was a water curtain cave in the Hokage world, and there was a monkey named Sun Wukong living in it.

"Thank you for escorting you all the way, it's just that ......" It was the pregnant woman who came just now, this is under the waterfall, and she must speak loudly so that the other party can hear it, "It's just that the sword shadow behind the words didn't hear it, but it can be seen from the pregnant woman's face that she felt that her request was a bit excessive, so she lowered her voice.

Sword Shadow knew what she was hesitating to ask for, and said loudly to her, "You stay here, my friend and I will go back to the village and keep an eye on the bandits, and when we have the chance, we will rescue your relatives." ”

“…… Thank you so much. The pregnant woman bowed deeply to him, and Kenkage and Aoi hurriedly supported her. With a big belly and bent his waist so low, in such a poor place of survival, Jian Ying didn't want to act as a male gynecologist.

Moreover, even if the pregnant woman didn't say anything about the sword shadow, she would do it, and warned the children here not to go out and run around, and under the envious and expectant gaze of the teenage boys, the three of them left the valley and rushed in the direction of the village.

Four kilometers is not too far in the eyes of ninjas or ordinary people, but in the rainforest with dense vines, the consequences are likely to be catastrophic.

In his previous life, Kenkage had seen a documentary that was taken by someone who had died. Alone in the forests of Australia, he was bitten by an unknown beast, and tragedy struck him, after which he contracted scurvy, and to make matters worse, the beast followed him.

This man knew that there was a village in a certain direction, he walked in this direction for more than ten hours, but found that he was lost, and it was getting dark, and he could not see the road in front of him, he climbed to the tree and said his last wish to the video, and finally was dragged down from the tree by wild beasts.

His body was found the next morning and, sadly, the point of death was only four hundred meters from the village.

Four hundred meters, the distance between life and death.

This world will not encounter similar things, but they can still do it if they delay for ten or twenty minutes in a complicated environment.

By the time the three of them returned to the village, it was starting to get dark.

Teacher Kai is still staying where he is, which makes Jian Ying feel unusual, what reason does an ordinary bandit have to stay in the village all the time, from the calculation of the perceived chakra, less than ten people have died during the time he left, if it is an extremely vicious person, what reason is there to let others go, if it is not a vicious guy, why should he stay in such a poor mountain village for so long.

What especially made him haunt was that Chakra was obviously stronger than the others.

The samurai he had fought in the past had stronger attack ability than he had at the time, but now, Jian Ying wanted to try whether the opponent was sharp or his own strength.

"Didn't they come out?" Sword Shadow came to Kai's side, keeping his eyes fixed on the gate under the wooden bar.

Kai also felt that the purpose of this group of bandits was not simple, but now he had no clue but to wait, but this passive waiting made him anxious. "Did the villagers you sent away talk to you about the purpose of these bandits?"

Sword Shadow shook his head, he almost wanted to go back and ask the pregnant woman what was in the village that was worthy of the bandits' attention, but then he thought that no matter what the other party's purpose was, it had nothing to do with his mission this time, all he needed to do was to use the lives of the bandits to add some blood essence stones. "Can you attack directly? They've killed several people, and there should be something they want here, and now the villagers can hold on, and as the pressure continues, there will be a collapse. ”

"They didn't change shifts, they didn't patrol the perimeter, so they couldn't get in for the time being. What if they attack them and take the villagers inside as hostages? Now you can only wait, wait for the opportunity to arise, and in the future, you will encounter this situation when you are on a mission alone, and you can't hesitate when it's time to make a move, and you can't rush to do it when you shouldn't. Ninja, you have to be patient, understand? ”

Mike Kay's words didn't alert Sword Shadow, because a greater confusion appeared in his mind: Is this still Mr. Kai? How do you think it's someone else pretending?!

Suddenly, the sword shadow struck at Mr. Kai's neck with his left hand, and before he got close to the other party, a kunai sprang out of his sleeve, and after holding it, he dragged the kunai to stab the opponent's carotid artery.

Almost instantly, a wave of qi erupted from where Mike Kay was, and his keen perception awakened his instinct, and the powerful explosive force blew up the wave of qi that almost made the sword shadow fall.

The dust and smoke drifted away, and the sword shadow stood beside Nagata with Kunai in his hand, and only Aoi Xiang stood in place, looking at the scene with a sneer.

"You ...... What the hell is going on with you guys?! Such a big movement must alert potential enemies, and although Aoika is worried, she is more concerned about why the sword shadow would attack Kai-sensei.

Nagata was also puzzled, but even if he didn't understand why this happened, he still stood on the side of Kenkage.

Jian Ying stared at Mike Kay on the other side, held Kunai in front of him, and said slowly: "As a teacher, you should indeed pass on knowledge to students at the right time and place, but unfortunately our teacher will not do this, as long as he doesn't take care of it, he will only tell me with his actions whether it is appropriate to do so." You're exposed—"

Kai, who was on guard with a surprised expression, laughed after listening to Sword Shadow's words, "I didn't expect to be seen so quickly, what a failure." As soon as he said that, Mike Kay's face suddenly blurred, and then changed, like a bug scurrying under his skin.

Aoi Xiang finally reacted, took out her ninja and jumped to the side of the sword shadow.
