In the forest.

Kuri Hail Kushimaru and Muri Shihachi ran frantically forward and fled for their lives.

After the battle just now, they already understood how big the gap in strength between themselves and the enemy was.

All they could do was give up all the idea of fighting and concentrate all their strength on fleeing.

Abandon all thoughts of fighting to escape quickly, and deliberately use blasters and droplets to smash passing trees and create obstacles for the enemies chasing after him.

As long as it can increase the chance of escape, no matter how naïve it is, it can also be used.

However, they are faced with a combination of writing wheel eyes and white eyes.

Wanting to escape under the combination of these two pairs of eyes can only be described as wishful thinking.

The long black hair fluttered in the wind, and the two figures, one black and one white, were like lightning and thunder, and on the road, even the afterimage and the entity could not be distinguished.

"What......"

Before Kuri Kushimaru finished speaking, two beautiful female ninja figures landed in front of him and Shihachi Muri, who were Ruri and Ayane.

Compared to them running at full strength, Ruri and Ayane have a relaxed look on their faces.

"Damn! Since you can't escape, I'll have to blow you all up! ”

Seeing this scene, he already understood that if he didn't defeat these two people, he wouldn't want to escape from here.

Kuri Kushimaru also understood this, so there was a fierce color in his eyes.

Since there is no escape, then fight to the death.

The ninjas in the blood mist did not surrender.

Muri Shihachi raised the blaster droplets, which were wrapped with a large number of detonation charms, and rushed towards Ruri.

Kuriyal Kushimaru wields a long knife and a needle to pull silk threads between the trees, trying to arrange a silk prison around Ayane.

In the silence, there was no communication, and Ruri and Ayane jumped up at the same time, switching between black and white, and leaping across in mid-air.

Ayane's palm pressed against the exploding knife droplet, and the palm released a powerful chakra air wave.

With a violent firelight detonating in mid-air, Muri Shihachi flew out upside down, looking at Ayane unscathed in disbelief, even the palm of his hand was intact.

This monster! No pear is even eight extremely frightened.

With Chakra alone, he was able to negate the power of his explosive knife droplets, and he still had the strength to fight back.

On the other side, Kuri's body is pierced by his own long knife and needle, and he hangs himself in the air in an extremely graceful posture as if he were performing a stage drama of a puppet.

Blood flowed along the silk threads, and the expression under the mask must have been extremely painful.

Ruri stood in front of him, looking up at him slightly below, her dark pupils full of coldness.

“…… How can it be...... I ...... hit."

Kuriyal Kushimaru still can't believe that he could fall for the illusion so easily.

"For ...... Why...... You obviously didn't turn on the writing wheel......"

He didn't know when he had fallen for Ruri's illusion.

The absence of an instrument, or physical touch, means that the tactile illusion cannot be performed.

Just by looking at the eyes that were not in the state of writing wheels, he was captured by illusion, and he didn't notice that the target of the long knife and stitch attack was himself, the sword master, and he was so embarrassed that he stabbed his string in the air, so that the arrogant Kuriyal Kushimaru couldn't accept all this.

He has been guarding against Liuli's illusion, and he has been careful and careful, but he still can't defend against it.

He couldn't comprehend what the trigger medium of the glazed illusion was.

It's impossible to use eyes that aren't in the state of writing wheels, so just look at them and make people feel illusions.

But apart from this, there is no other factor that can be explained.

Ruri is not obligated to answer Kuriya Kushimaru's incomprehensible questions, and the abilities of each ninja are classified and cannot be revealed to unrelated people.

Then, Ruri looked at the nearby woods, from where Shiraishi scratched his head and walked out.

Ayane's side also ended the battle smoothly, and the explosive power of the exploding knife and droplets was not resisting at all under Ayane's soft fist attack.

The acupuncture points of the whole body were blocked, the chakra could not flow, and the meridians and internal organs were also affected by the soft fist.

Ayane threw Shihachi Muri on the ground and stood aside, waiting for Shiraishi to deal with the two of them.

"The battle is over, you're late."

Ayane laughed.

"It's you guys who are too fast."

Shiraishi told the truth.

Even the ninja sword seven who were rumored to have created countless bloody legends could not resist the sharp edge of these two, but were ruthlessly crushed.

"How did the people of the Fog Hide come here?"

Ruri asked with a frown.

"It's probably to hunt down Lin Yuyu."

Shiraishi thought about it, and only this one was the most likely.

Wuyin infighting, Lin Yuli was assassinated by his own people, it is estimated that some people don't want Lin Yuli to live safely.

Otherwise, Shiraishi couldn't think of what these two infamous members of the Ninja Seven had to do when they came to the country of ghosts.

"Hunt down Lin Yuyuri...... Isn't she also one of the Seven Ninja Blades? And I heard that it seems to be seriously ill. ”

Ayane was surprised.

"I also just got the news. The cause and effect of the incident are also different from what you think. ”

Shiraishi briefly talked about the previous visit to the Oni Country by the Fog Hidden Mission, and briefly outlined the turbulent internal situation in the Fog Hide.

"I didn't expect the infighting in the fog to be so serious, even more ruthless than Konoha."

Ayane was overwhelmed with emotion.

Shiraishi squatted down at this time and pressed his palm on the forehead of Wuli Shihachi, and the other party immediately felt tiredness and fell asleep in a deep sleep.

After a long time, Shiraishi took his hand away from the forehead of the pearless Shihachi.

"How?"

Ruri and Ayane asked, both concerned.

"According to memory, these two people have not been in contact with the people of the Water Country for four days, and the Fog Hidden Village does not know the whereabouts of the two of them. Coming to the country of ghosts is also smuggling, and I arrived through hidden routes. So, don't worry about the diplomatic problems that these two guys will bring to the table. ”

Shiraishi responded to the second daughter's questions and put them at ease.

"In other words, it's okay to kill the two of them, right?"

Ayane said with a smile.

"Well, after all, these two people have a high bounty on the underground black market, and their heads are still quite valuable."

Because many ninjas in the Oni Country military have made a name for themselves through the underground black market and are engaged in bounty hunter work, Shiraishi is still relatively familiar with the high bounty targets of the underground black market.

As the high-end combat power of Wuyin Village, each of them has a large bounty in the underground black market, starting with tens of millions of taels.

In the list of bounties on the underground black market, the bounty of the long knife and sewing needle holder is 35 million taels.

The bounty for the holder of the Exploding Knife Droplet is 30 million taels.

Combined, the two of them were a bounty of sixty-five million taels.

"Although their corpses are valuable, what is more valuable should be these two ninja knives that have been passed down from generation to generation in the fog."

Ayane pointed to the long knife and stitch and the blaster droplet.

Although the appearance is a little uglier, Ayane knows that the cost of these two knives is higher than the bounty of the knife owner.

The ninja swords in the hands of each of the seven members of the Fog Hidden Ninja Sword are the top ninja swords in the ninja world.

These seven ninja knives that brought bloody rain to the ninja world were forged by the top swordsmen in the ninja world for a long time using various precious chakra metals and rare ores.

Each ninja sword has its own unique special abilities.

For example, the Exploding Knife Droplet, which only needs to supply Chakra, can summon a large number of detonation charms on the blade, and the blasting power is terrifying.

Ordinary ninjas will be blown up to the ground if they are lightly touched, and they will either die or be maimed.

The long knife and stitch are terrifying because of the piercing ability of the weapon, and can easily penetrate any kind of solid object, even the human body. The handle of the blade is attached to a steel wire, which can be used for frontal attacks or to create a trap environment that is conducive to one's own battle, and it is very performant.

But in this way, the two knives belong to them.

Although I don't like the way these two knives are used, they are rare treasures as collector's items.

"Before I do, I'm going to dig out all the secrets in their bodies."

The physical value of the two ninja sword seven is not only the amount of the bounty, but also many precious secret techniques, as well as exclusive information about the fog hidden, which are all important to Shiraishi.

"What about Ringo Yuri? Are you going to get involved? ”

Ayane looked at Shiraishi.

Shiraishi shook his head.

"No, I'm not going to get involved in the housework of the foggy, it will cause some unnecessary trouble. Just keep her body for the time being and don't continue to deteriorate. ”

The matter of Kuriya Kushimaru and Muri Shihachi Oni Country was not revealed to anyone, as long as the gods disposed of them unknowingly, they could avoid the sight of the fog.

The fog ninjas who escorted Ringo Yuri were different, they were obviously ordered by a certain high-ranking Mist to send Konoha to Konoha, and then through Konoha Tsunade, they came to the country of ghosts to seek medical treatment.

These fog ninjas can't move, at least they can't have accidents in the territory of the Oni Country.

Therefore, Shiraishi was waiting for the letter from the fog to decide whether Lin Yuli would stay or not.

If Kirihide allows Hayashi Yuri to stay in the Oni Country, then Shiraishi will arrange for her to seek medical treatment in the Oni Realm.

However, with the medical level of the Oni Country, even if the top-level body active drugs are deployed, it is impossible for Lin Yuri to recover as before. Unless he uses the immortal art taught to him by the live slug, he can be sure of healing.

But Shiraishi doesn't do that.

If he is not related to Wuyin Village, he recklessly used this immortal technique to heal Lin Yuyuri's injuries, and he would not only be aware of his position by Tsunade, but also hated by some people in Wuyin Village.

For some of the people in the fog, Ringo Yuri is a nail in their eyes that must be removed.

◎

The headquarters of Aster Flower Pharmaceutical Company.

It is a series of high-rise buildings side by side, located on the outskirts of Shion Castle, the capital of the Oni Kingdom.

The buildings are connected to each other by a bridge deck, so they can communicate with each other.

From a distance, it looks like a behemoth entrenched in the earth.

Although I dare not say that it is a completely modern building, compared to the old days of the ninja world, this complex building has already scratched the shadow of the development of the times.

The sunlight shining from the sky and bathing the transparent glass on the side of the building can be seen in the corridor, and many people are hurriedly walking around, and they are the staff on duty in the company.

in the lounge.

"Kuraki, how is the situation with Hayashinobu Kamitobu?"

Nakayoshigami Shinobi, who has the ability to perceive, enters the lounge and asks how the Kiri Hidden Girl is doing.

"After stabilizing for the time being, the upper echelons of Shiyuan Flower Pharmaceutical Company are willing to use new drugs that are not on the market to treat Ringo Shangnin. But if you want to completely cure it, it's a bit whimsical. ”

Kuraki sighed.

"Look away, this may be a good thing for Lin Yi Shangnin."

"yes."

Kuraki Shinobu laughed bitterly.

At this point, it is naturally impossible to recover any longer.

Although she also hopes that Lin Yuri can get back on his feet, take the helm of the Thunder Knife, and contribute to their reformers.

However, even if he took the best physical active medicine in the ninja world today, he couldn't make the other party recover to his original state.

For this, Kuraki Kamishinobu has already been mentally prepared.

It's just a little unwilling.

But running around continuously, they are already very tired.

"What's next?"

"You stay and take care of Ringo Shangin, and I'll go back and report to the adults."

Kuraki Kamishinobu said.

"You're a medical ninja, don't you have to stay?"

Nakayoshi's brow furrowed.

"No need, the medical ninjas in this company have medical abilities that are not weaker than mine."

"That's right. But it's not just medical ninjas, but also sentient ninjas. After I entered this building, the perceptual ninjutsu was directly interrupted. ”

Nakayoshi's face was serious.

Among the ninjas who have fought him so far, only Konoha is the oil girl clan, who can disrupt his perceptual ninjutsu with special bugs.

However, he didn't expect that after entering this building, his perceptual ninjutsu was directly 'disappeared'.

But Nakayoshi was not dissatisfied.

The net income of Aster Flower Pharmaceutical Company has reached a very terrifying figure every month, and this level of giant will definitely be coveted by many peers to come and steal drug information.

It makes sense to have this level of defense.

"The style of this country is really weird and different."

Kuraki was also stunned after hearing this, and nodded.

Ninjas mingle with armies of ordinary people, the main roads are wide and bright, and merchants from other countries come and go.

Looking out of the window of this lounge, you can see what buildings are being built at the construction site not far away.

There are not only ordinary craftsmen, but also ninjas, who are nimble in carrying work there.

In her opinion, this is simply a waste of the ninja's combat power.

If you do this meaningless work every day, the ninja's abilities will be completely nullified.

However, since this is the politics of another country, she, as an outsider, has no right to blame, but she feels extremely sad and feels sorry for the ninjas who worked hard as craftsmen on the construction site.

Alas, these ninjas are gone, and it is absolutely impossible to fight bravely on the battlefield.

Ninjas who lose their ability to fight, the final outcome can be imagined.

"After so many days, there have been no accidents here, and the pursuers seem to have been misled by the information we left behind and have gone somewhere else."

This is Nakayoshi's speculation.

If the pursuers really chase here, with the lawless nature of those people, they will not care about any neutral countries, and they will definitely make a lot of trouble here and force them to show up.

Now that this situation has not happened, it means that those people have not been chased to the land of ghosts, and they will be safe for at least two weeks.

"Don't let that be careless. After I leave, you'll be left with a shinobi here, and don't leave this building. Don't get into conflict with the people of the Oni Country. ”

"Understood."

Nakayoshi nodded.

After Kuraki finished his instructions, he opened the door and left the lounge.

"Take care all the way."

"Don't worry, I'll come in ten days with that adult's new order."

◎

Two days later.

The land of water, the village of Wuyin.

"Mizukage-sama, Kuri Hail Kushimaru and Rishi Shihachi's mission has failed."

The baby-faced man with purple eyes came to the office of the third generation of Mizukage and said in a respectful manner.

The three generations of Mizukage, who handled the documents, asked indifferently:

"So are they back? I need to understand the specifics of things. ”

"I'm sorry, Mizukage-sama, the two of them are dead."

The baby-faced man lowered his head and said.

The three generations of Mizukage, who were working on the documents, looked up suddenly, and the pen in his hand was also stunned.

After a long time, the old wrinkled face regained its composure, and he exhaled, his eyes piercing the baby-faced man sharply.

"Yakura, you said they were dead...... What's going on? ”

The baby-faced man named Yakura had no emotion in his purple pupils, but said in a serious manner:

"It's news from the underground money exchange office in the country of tea, someone used their corpses to receive a bounty of 65 million taels."

"Underground money exchange? Who is it? ”

Three generations of Mizukage's voice is cold.

"Konoha S-class traitor Hinata Ayane."

"Konoha!"

For the first time, the calm old faces of the three generations of Mizukage showed anger.

"What's the matter with Konoha's Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash, allowing such a dangerous traitorous ninja to wander away?"

"With all due respect, Mizukage-sama. Konoha is now deeply trapped in the battlefield of the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass, and they are no longer able to hunt down a defector ninja of this level. ”

"Where are the bodies of both of them? Is there a takeback? ”

The three generations of Mizukage asked in a calm tone as much as possible.

"Nowhere to be found. Now that it has passed through the hands of many people, it is difficult to track it down. ”

Yakura told the truth.

Then, he sensed something and raised his head slightly.

What I saw was the three generations of Mizukage with an even colder expression, and the terrifying chakra had turned into substance, covering the surface of the body, flowing like a stream of water.

In the office, I was immediately surrounded by a heavy atmosphere.

Yakura also felt something heavy fall on his shoulders, and it became difficult to move and breathe.

Yakura knew why the three generations of Mizukage were angry.

Kuri Hail Kushimaru and no pear are dead, and the matter is irreparable, and it has become indifferent.

However, in the hands of the two of them, there are two ninja knives that are far more precious than the two of them—long knives and sewing needles, and explosive knives and droplets, which must have also fallen into the hands of Konoha traitorous ninja Hinata Ayane.

If you want to recapture these two ninja swords, not to mention how many ninjas you will have to send, you must first find the whereabouts of Hinata Ayane.

Otherwise everything is empty talk.

Yakura was not frightened by the anger of the three generations of Mizukage, but his face became more serious, and he continued:

"There's one more thing to report to you."

"Say."

"This is a letter from the third generation of Konoha Hokage-sama, as well as a letter from Her Excellency Maitreya, a shrine maiden of the Oni Country."

Yakura took out the two letters and placed them on the table in front of Mizukage.

The three generations of Mizukage opened and read the letters one by one with a blank expression, and after reading them, his brows furrowed.

"Did something happen, Mizukage-sama?"

Yakura asked curiously.

"Kuraki and Nakayoshi took Ringo Yuri to Konoha to find a medical ninja Tsunade to treat Ringo Yuri's injuries."

"Is that so?" Yakura nodded thoughtfully and said, "What is the witch of the Oni Country for?" ”

The third Hokage mentioned that Tsunade was powerless against Hayashi's injuries and recommended going to Shionka Pharmaceutical Company in the Land of Oni for medical treatment. And it was for this reason that the witch of the Oni Country asked about the cause and effect of the matter. ”

"I see. In other words, Yuri Ringo is recuperating in the country of ghosts, so I'll send someone to clean her up immediately-"

Yakura's doll face showed a cold look.

"Wait a minute."

Three generations of Mizukage called Yakura.

"Any more orders, Mizukage-sama?"

"Forget it."

"Forget it? Forget it means...... Just let her go? ”

Yakura's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Too many people have been sacrificed......"

Mizukage stood up and stood at the window, looking out at the mist-shrouded village.

In this faint mist, a trace of blood seemed to be visible in the cloudy eyes of the three generations of water shadows.

The look in his eyes became more and more painful.

"Teacher Phantom Moon, handed over this village to me before he died, but I failed to lead this village well. This is my responsibility. ”

As a disciple of the previous generation of Mizukage Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon, he took over the important task of Mizukage at the moment of danger in the fog.

However, he took over as the third generation of Mizukage, and he did not lead the huge team of Good Fog Hide.

Wu Yin is now mired in this kind of chaos, self-infighting, and the quagmire of self-infighting is the result of his indecision and ineffective command.

Yakura stood behind and didn't speak.

Just quietly watched the three generations of Mizukage old, full of tired backs.

At this moment, Yakura felt that the third generation of Mizukage was really old.

◎

In the dark.

A breath appeared, but it did not reveal who the owner of the figure was.

"Your Excellency."

Kuragi Kamishinobu who secretly returned to Fog Hidden Village through secret channels knelt down on one knee and saluted the figure in the dark.

"The third generation of Rangokura has issued an order that he is not to blame for the fact that you and Nakayoshi took away Ringo Yuri without permission, but you need to return to the village immediately with the thunder knife, and there must be no mistake. Yakura is ready to go, and you should go to the country of ghosts as soon as possible so that others don't get suspicious. ”

"That Ringo Shinobi ......"

"Kuriyal Kushimaru and Shihachi Muri were killed by Konoha's S-class defector Ninja Hinata Ayane in exchange for a bounty on the underground black market. Soon there will be news that Hayashi Yuri was seeking medical treatment in the country of ghosts and died of a serious illness. The third generation seems to be really old and has become so hesitant. ”

The man in the darkness sighed.

Kuraki Kamishinobu understood what it meant.

The third generation will no longer attack Lin Yuri, and cover up the news of his serious illness and death, so that Lin Yuri can spend the rest of his life in peace and stability in the country of ghosts.

"Yes, I will relay this news to Lin Yi Shangren as soon as possible to stabilize her emotions."

Now that there is a new decision in the village, Kuraki Kamishinobu has no choice but to obey.

"By the way, Lin Yi's injuries really can't be treated?"

The man in the darkness couldn't help but ask again.

He really didn't want to give up such an important strong ninja.

"Yes. Whether it's Tsunade-sama or the Oni no Kuni side, they can only alleviate the further deterioration of the body. ”

Kuraki replied.

"It's a pity."

He thought that Konoha's Tsunade could cure Hayashi's injuries, so he asked Kuraki and Nakayoshi to take Hayashio Yuri to Konoha to seek opportunities, but he didn't expect the result to be the same.

"But ......"

"But what?"

"Konoha's Tsunade-sama said that Chiba Shiraishi, an S-class wanted criminal who has defected to Konoha, can heal Ringo Kamishinobi's injuries."

Kuraki Kamishinobu conveyed Tsunade's meaning.

"Chiba Shiraishi? I remember that he was a medical ninja in the Konoha White Fang squad in the past, and he was in the same group as Hinata Ayane, who killed Kuriya Kushimaru and Shihachi Muri, and was ......"

The man in the darkness groaned, as if considering something.

"With all due respect, my lord, the chances of finding Chiba Shiraishi are too low."

Kuraki Kaminin sighed.

To be honest, if it weren't for Tsunade mentioning the name, she didn't know that Konoha Reninja, named 'Chiba Shiraishi', would also be a top-notch medical ninja.

Moreover, that is Konoha's rebellion, and Konoha will definitely not share information with them.

The other party's personality, abilities, etc. are all in a fog, and it is too difficult to find each other in the huge ninja world.

Not to mention, if the matter of asking for help from the traitorous ninja is revealed, how can it make the fog embarrassed? What kind of village is face?

"I see. That's it, that's all there is to it. Hurry up and get out of here, don't let Yakura see anything, he's a more ruthless and ambitious guy than the third generation. ”

The people in the darkness seem to be very jealous of Yakura.

"Yes."

Kuraki Kamishinobu nodded, but did not leave, with a look of hesitation on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"My lord, can you let me know who you really are?"

Kuraki didn't think the request was rude.

It's been a year since the mysterious man found him, and he has been communicating with him in the dark, never showing up face-to-face.

The resources, intelligence and other channels held by the other party made her very frightened.

In her impression, even the celebrity Yakura, who is next to the third-generation Mizukage, can't have such a strong background and connections.

Who is the elder layer? No matter what Kuraki Kamishinobu thought, he couldn't guess who this mysterious 'adult' was in the elder layer.

The man in the dark paused.

"Yes, it's time for you to know who I really am. I'm sorry to hide it from you for so long, I originally planned to wait for my side to be ready for a while, and there was no problem in advance. ”

In the darkness, the man stepped out with half of his body.

Kuraki Kamishinobu's beautiful pupils suddenly widened, with a ghostly expression, and he opened his mouth wide and spoke:

"You, you are ......"

◎

After dealing with the matter of Kuri Hail Kushimaru and Muri Shihachi, Shiraishi not only obtained various secrets and ninjutsu in the other party's mind, but also had a deeper understanding of the current decay situation in the Fog Hidden Village.

Ninjas are killing each other every day in the Fog Hidden Village, and it seems that it is also related to the daimyo of the Land of Water and the major nobles.

In general, the entire territory of the Land of Water can be described in one word - chaos.

For this reason, Shiraishi needed to rearrange the personnel inside Wuyin Village.

We are also considering whether to withdraw our staff.

If the internal strife at the level of Wuyin Village continues to deteriorate, a huge internal war will break out sooner or later.

While Shiraishi was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The intelligence officer came in, his face looking worried, and placed a scroll in front of Shiraishi.

"Lord Shiraishi, this is for you."

"For me?"

Shiraishi was slightly stunned.

I saw that the outside of the scroll was written vertically, 'His Excellency Chiba Shiraishi personally opened'.

Shiraishi's gaze froze, and he immediately unfolded the scroll and quickly swept the contents inside.

The number of words on the scroll is not much, but the information revealed to Shiraishi is very much, so much that Shiraishi's mind is confused-

- Please go to the land of rainbows.

At the end of the end, he also calmly attached his own name, a name that made Shiraishi thunderous, and the symbol of the Fog Hidden Ninja.
