Chapter Ninety-Eight: Tracing the Trace
Although Luo Sha superficially approved of the actions of the 'Alliance' of the Oni Country, his inner vigilance and jealousy did not diminish slightly.
On the contrary, with the sudden 'alliance' move of the Ghost Country, he became more concerned about the affairs of the Ghost Country.
Just as in the past, the country of ghosts refused to act together because there were no tailed beasts, now there is still no reason for the country of ghosts to get involved, and they can sit firmly on the high platform and reap the benefits of the fisherman.
But the Oni no Kuni didn't do this, and instead sent a team over to seek cooperation, which is full of weirdness no matter how you look at it.
However, before he figured out the purpose of the Oni Country, Luo Sha still quietly began to talk to Cai, showing his sincerity, trying to extract some useful information from the other party's mouth.
However, for this, Cai has long been on guard.
When it comes to sensitive matters, he just responds by being silent or shaking his head.
If you say too much, you will lose, and once you are brought into rhythm by Luo Sha's words, you may leak something.
"Now that Markey is fine, it's time to think about how to rescue my Airo. The enemies to deal with are very strong, especially the scorpion, and once it is touched by his poison, the abrasion can also form a fatal wound. On that note, I would like you to provide some help. ”
Luo Sha knew that he couldn't get more information from Cai's side, so he turned to the topic.
However, when he said this, his eyes were more on Hanami Haruka behind Cai.
The other party showed a little hand just now, and easily solved the poison that Yan Yin was stumped with.
If you want to deal with the scorpion, I'm afraid you'll need the other party's medical ninjutsu assistance.
"Don't worry, Kazekage-sama, give me two days or so, and I can make a certain amount of antidote."
Haruka Hanami said.
"Two days?"
Luo Sha frowned, not very satisfied with this time.
"I was able to solve that poison just now, and I relied on my own blood inheritance limit, so I didn't need to do complicated analysis work. But for others, when I happen to be unable to treat in time, I have to use antidotes, and the conditions here are poor, and the herbs that can be collected are not complete, so the analysis and pharmaceutical process will be very cumbersome. ”
Hanami Haruka explained to Raksha.
In fact, the two days are also based on optimism.
If there is another deviation during the period, it is likely that the antidote will come out later.
"Is that so?"
Hearing Hanami Haruka's explanation, Luo Sha's face softened slightly.
Because of what I'm talking about, he's a little too impatient.
Dealing with the scorpion and the hidden Deidara of the rock, you can't be impatient, and you must calm down and think about countermeasures.
"I see, I'll trouble you here. I'll lead the team first. ”
Rosa for work assignments.
Time was tight, and he didn't have time to wait for Haruka Hanami to succeed in making the antidote.
Waste more time now, and there may be more danger on my Airo's side.
"But ...... in that case"
Hanami Haruka wanted to say something, but Aya interrupted:
"Just follow the arrangement of Lord Kazekage. Hanami, you and Kirieda stay and make an antidote together. I, Kari, and Yamazaki followed His Excellency Kazekage to rescue Ichisuki. ”
Then, Aya looked at Raksha.
"Is it okay to distribute it like this, Lord Kazekage?"
"The best. When the search comes, you may also need to use the whites of your eyes. ”
Luo Sha nodded, and there was no objection to Cai's arrangement.
"Father, I'm—"
Temari stepped forward and was about to speak.
"No, you stay and take care of Markey. I'm Airo, and the matter of Kankuro is left to me to deal with. ”
Luo Sha forcibly stopped, his voice cold and hard.
Prepare for the worst, in this battle, both Iara and Kankuro may be killed, and he doesn't want his only daughter to die on the battlefield as well.
Temari wanted to argue with Raksha, but when he saw Raksha's determined eyes, he lowered his head silently, knowing that no matter how much he pleaded, it would be useless.
Raksha would not let her participate in the operation.
"Elder Chiyo, Elder Hai Laozang, and everyone from the Land of Demons, without further ado, start acting now."
Luo Sha was resolute, and after giving instructions, he immediately led the Shayin Shadow Department to rush towards the outside of the cave.
Chiyo, Aya and the others glanced at each other and ran out with Raksha to find the traces of Iara.
Seeing Raksha and the others leaving, Temari silently prayed in his heart that they would be safe.
"Let's move here, dozens of kilometers to the west, there is a sand hidden stronghold, where there should be the herbs you need to make an antidote."
Temari knew that it was not suitable for sadness at this time, so he immediately cleaned up his mood and said to Hanami Haruka.
After that, she began to order the remaining Shinobi to carry out the transfer work, whether it was Maki as the wounded or the medical tools here, all of them had to be taken away.
"Okay."
Hanami Haruka didn't refuse, nodded and agreed.
"Speaking of which, is it really okay for you to absorb those poisons into your own body?"
Before transferring the base, Temari asked such a question.
That can make the extremely toxic Shangnin, who is tortured to death, and she is a little worried that Hanami Haruka will not be able to control this poison.
It's not that she cares about Hanami Haruka's life, but the next antidote, which must be used by the other party.
If there is any accident in the process, it will inevitably be a little troublesome.
"Rest assured, although this poison is powerful, it is still within the tolerance of my body's immune system. If I hadn't been sure of this, I wouldn't have risked absorbing the poison into my body. ”
Haruka Hanami replied with a smile.
……
"Anyway, is it really good to go straight to the road like this? That guy called Scorpion is a poison master, and he once assassinated the three generations of Sha Yin's Wind Shadow. ”
The team hung behind Raksha and other sand ninjas, and moved forward steadily.
Yamazaki asked about his worries.
Judging from the information obtained so far, the ninjas they will deal with next are not simple people.
Needless to say, Deidara, who was born in the Iwain Demolition Force, was the Red Sand Scorpion, but in the past, he killed one of the Five Shadows alone.
No matter what means the other party took at that time, killing the wind shadow means that the other party is an extremely dangerous person.
And the ninjas who fought in the past, it is a two-level existence.
"That's right, although I am good at healing, detoxification is not an area of expertise."
Xiang Lian also said the worries in his heart.
At the end of the day, they are all ninjas in their formative years, although they are too far ahead of their peers.
But if you use a ninja of the level of Five Shadows as an opponent, even if the three of them join forces, I'm afraid the chances of winning are extremely slim.
And this slim chance of winning is still based on Cai's long-range sniper ability.
In addition, in the next battle, there must not be any abrasions, otherwise the body will be eroded by the enemy's poison, which further increases the difficulty of the battle.
"Don't worry about this, I have a special medical charm on my body, which not only has a healing effect, but also can dissolve a hundred poisons, although the stock in it is not much, but it is enough for the three of us to use."
Aya said to Karu and Hisashi Yamazaki to relax their hearts.
If he didn't have this hole card, he wouldn't have taken the lead in taking Karen and Yamazaki Hisashi to join Rasha's preemptive search force, but obediently waited for Hanami Haruka's antidote to be made before starting to act.
He was not going to risk his own life and that of his team members in order to annihilate the enemy.
"So there is still such a method? Could it be that the medical charm of the medical department can already be put into use? ”
Xiang Li's mouth opened wide in surprise.
Although she is a medical ninja, she is more of a part-time medical ninja, and her main job is still the research and use of seals in the old business of the Uzumaki clan.
"It is said that this is a special medical talisman, and it is estimated that it will have to wait for a while for the mass-produced medical talisman of the medical department to be put into use. For the specific situation, you should ask Hanami, who is one of the members of the project team responsible for researching medical charms. ”
Cai replied.
"I always feel that this mission is a bit too much for us."
Yamazaki pouted.
Although with the strength of their group, it is not difficult to complete the S-class mission.
However, S-level tasks are also divided into difficulty levels.
A task like this to deal with a Five Shadow-level ninja is, strictly speaking, beyond the scope of an S-level mission.
"That's why we have to use the power of Sand Hide and Kazekage, we only need to put cold guns in the back, after all, in order to recapture Ichio, they will definitely fight to the death."
Cai calmly analyzed.
His purpose is to reduce the number of people in the Xiao organization, and it is not at all about rescuing Ichio, or even who Ichio falls into, which is not something he is considering.
"Now, though, we also have to consider the worst-case scenario."
Cai adds this sentence at the end.
"The worst possible scenario?"
Karen and Yamazaki tilted their heads, puzzled by what Aya said.
"Ichio I love Luo, so that the target has missed once before, and the other party will also consider that Sand Yin will send a lot of reinforcements...... Therefore, the next guy to deal with may be more than the two in the intelligence. ”
Perhaps, other members of the Xiao Organization will also get involved.
After all, Sha Yin has already invested so much strength, if Xiao wants to recover a tail without fail, it is reasonable to suddenly reinforce at this time.
Romance
It also means that it will be more difficult to complete this task.
"Captain, can I go back now?"
The corners of Yamazaki's mouth twitched.
The two of them let their side be fully armed, and even dispatched the Wind Shadow, one of the Five Shadows.
If the enemy also sends reinforcements, no matter how you look at their side, there is no chance of victory, and the whole army may be wiped out.
"Welcome to the military district's prison, Yamazaki."
Cai silently said such a sentence.
“…… That's what I'm saying.,It seems that you can only bite the bullet.,I hope you don't come to trouble the ninja.。 No, it's better that it's just your unrealistic guess and not the facts, captain. Miko-sama, please bless me! ”
Hisashi Yamazaki clasped his hands, closed his eyes, and began to pray as he hurried.
"What a useless guy."
Xiang Ryu glanced at Yamazaki in disgust.
"There's no way, I don't have as much strength as you, and I'm still the holder of the Blood Inheritance Limit, as an ordinary person, I always feel that in this operation, it's completely redundant."
Yamazaki opened his eyes, shrugged his shoulders, and lowered his palms.
"Then, I'll leave it to you when the time comes. As long as you stay in the sky honestly, the danger will be greatly reduced. Xiang Rin is in charge of frontal containment, and I will snipe the enemy. ”
Aya said.
As long as he finds the gap for sniping, the so-called ninja who matches the Five Shadows is just a mortal body and cannot resist the chakra bullets made of steel.
In just a few words, Cai determined the next formation deployment.
This is the most prudent strategy, with a sniper rifle and a white eye of the Blood Inheritance Limit, he can use the 'distance' to forcibly make up for the strength gap with the powerful ninja, and there is no need to close the distance and clash with the enemy head-on.
◎
Konoha.
"Tsunade!"
The sudden shouting made Tsunade, who had dozed off in the office at noon, suddenly suck the saliva that flowed from his mouth, sat upright in the office chair, and looked at the consultant duo who suddenly broke in.
"Young, what kind of wind blew you two over, what's the matter, have you already had lunch?"
Tsunade wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and teased the advisor duo who had broken in with a bad face.
"Now is not the time to say that. You should have gotten the news about the matter of Sand Hidden Village. Shikaku is so immature to do things, how can he put Naruto into the operation to rescue the Sunachin Ichisuki? Isn't that a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? ”
Zhuan Xiaochun's tone was low, with a strong sense of questioning.
Questioning Tsunade's lax majesty, there was such a serious mistake.
"So, as far as the two of you are concerned, what do you think is the best thing to do?"
Tsunade took a sip of tea and asked the two advisors for their opinions.
"Of course, bring Naruto back immediately, and then send the elite ninjas of the village to protect him. In addition, Lu Jiu was sentenced to the crime of dereliction of duty. As the leader of Konoha's upper ninja squad, it is really unreasonable to be like a child and put human pillar force in a dangerous situation. ”
Mito Menyan picked up Koharu's words and looked directly at Tsunade.
"So, do you want me, the Hokage, to be relieved of my work when the time comes, and I just need to protect the good people?"
Tsunade asked unhurriedly.
“…… Uh, that's not what we meant......"
"So what do you mean? I hope that Naruto will become stronger and become the pillar of the village, and it is you who will not let him go to the front line to fight, and it is you who will be placed in the rear as a greenhouse flower. In that case, why bother to let him learn the immortal art of Miaomu Mountain? Wouldn't it be more convenient to directly let him eat, drink and have fun in the village, just as a tailed beast container? Moreover, it also saves a lot of resources that can be distributed to the rest. ”
Tsunade responded calmly, without the slightest impatience.
"This ...... In short, Lu Jiu handled this matter very messily, the power of that organization was unfathomable, and his ideas were not well considered. ”
Turning to bed, Koharu was hesitant, and his voice was quieter.
"I've calculated that the various teacher resources and venue fees that have been invested in Naruto over the years can at least train hundreds of elite ninjas for the village. Your idea is still that you're going to throw all of this stuff into it, and it's okay to get a ninja who can't be used to fight? ”
Tsunade continued to ask rhetorically, with a chill in his tone.
"This ...... We're just here for the village, and we're ......."
"For the sake of the village, it is more important to let Naruto grow instead of arguing about such meaningless things. If you want to insist on cultivating the human pillar force as a discarded tool that cannot be fought, then I can quit my job and not do the Hokage's work, and you will take care of it. As I said a long time ago, your style is no longer in vogue in the current era. ”
Tsunade stood up and walked to the window, turning his back to the two advisors and looking out at the snow.
Mito Menyan and Koharu fell silent.
They just want to open the windows, but Tsunade wants to lift the roof...... If this continues, both sides will only lose out.
"We will discuss this matter with Tuan Zang, and he is definitely not willing to put his human pillar force into the battlefield at this time."
Trying to use the leader of the martial arts faction to put pressure on Tsunade.
However, Tsunade just sneered silently, completely ignoring the threat of the two of them without pressure.
"And the fact that you are secretly expanding the scale of the dark department, we already know that if you don't restrain yourself, sooner or later you will upset the balance of the village, which is contrary to the original purpose of the Japanese slash, and it is not in line with the Hokage's work norms. Hello do it yourself. ”
After saying that, the two advisors knew that Tsunade had made up their minds, and they couldn't find a breakthrough here, so they turned around and left.
Hearing the sound of the door closing behind, Tsunade just looked at the snow outside the window and sighed:
"Alas, power ......"
◎
"Art is an explosion!"
Countless small white birds flew down from the sky and flew down among the mountains and rocks.
"Drink!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, the endless mountains and rocks burst into a series of flame flashes, and at the same moment, the explosion chain was carried out.
The towering rocks collapsed one by one, and the entire terrain was brutally transformed in an instant.
Deidara, who was riding with the scorpion on a huge white bird's pendulum, looked at the masterpiece he had created, and nodded with great satisfaction.
Be satisfied with the 'work' in front of you.
……
"That guy called Deidara is a messy blaster...... And Kanjiuro, that stupid man, was caught, and he should have been killed if he knew he would, so as not to make trouble for me now. ”
Hiding behind a tall mountain rock, the words that came out of his mouth were murderous, and he opened his closed eyes.
A bare eyeball floated down from the sky and landed on my Ara's outstretched palm.
It's his third eye condensed with ninjutsu.
It is possible to remotely monitor the enemy's movements.
Because of this ninjutsu, he can know in real time where Deidara and Scorpion are located, and lock the target location, so that he can hide or attack.
The eyeballs fell on the palm of my Airo's palm, turned into fine grains of sand, and were blown away by the wind.
I Airo carried a gourd on his back and hiked deep into the mountains.
It is no longer a matter of reluctance or not to be reluctant to deal with two people at the same time, but it is simply impossible to do it.
The other person is more dangerous than Deidara in terms of feelings.
Even if you want to save Kankuro, the waste brother, you need to create a favorable environment in advance.
If you go up rashly, you will only fall into the net.
……
"Sure enough, Brother Scorpion, the aesthetics that rise in the moment of the explosion are the ultimate art. Well. ”
On the back of the bird in the sky, Deidara reveled in his own 'artistic creation' and could not extricate himself.
The scorpion glanced at him coldly and said, "So, what about the traces of human pillar power?" This is not the time to talk about art. Moreover, your art is too simple and crude to be called art at all, and art that stays in a moment is worthless. ”
"Because of this, we can leave a splendid trace in this world. In this regard, it is still difficult for you to accommodate me and Brother Scorpion. ”
Deidara sighed regretfully.
However, Scorpion is right, now is not the time to argue whose work is more artistic.
It is necessary to get the human pillar power in hand as soon as possible.
"That one-tailed pillar force, to be honest, it's a bit difficult for me to deal with alone. And I don't know where to hide, so let me blow it up. Well. ”
Deidara's eyes swept across the endless mountain and rock terrain, and her hands itched to make an earth-shattering artistic 'masterpiece'.
"Don't mess around, your art is too ostentatious, just do it in moderation, and don't get involved in the ninjas of Iwakure. I don't want to clean up the mess for you. ”
The scorpion put a stop to Deidara's wayward behavior.
Although this did force the human pillar force out of this complex terrain, it would inevitably attract the investigation of the Iwakushi ninja as well.
At present, Sand Hidden and Iwakuin are in an alliance state, and Deidara's intelligence leak is likely to be done by Iwakure. Based on this situation, it is definitely not a good thing for them to merge the ninjas of the two villages.
"Indeed, that old man's dust escape is very troublesome, and it is terrible to be targeted."
As if remembering some shadow, Deidara's high mood slowly calmed down.
"In that case, let's use this hostage. Well. ”
Deidara pointed to Kankuro behind him.
The other party had woken up, but his hands were twisted off, and the rest of his body was tightly bound with hard ropes, plus the scorpion injected him with anesthetics, even if he woke up, he could only stare and have no power to resist.
It is the best bait to lure people to shoot with a pillar.
"Then you have to let people know where we are, or find each other, and the hostages can be effective. In my opinion, the other party will not take the initiative to attack, but let us go to him. ”
The scorpion groaned.
"But it's hard to find a place that big."
"Bai Jue will come over soon, it's only a matter of time before he finds Ren Zhuli, I'm more worried that before that, there will be other guys coming over to make trouble. For example, the Kazekage of the Sand Hide, which is a ninja who is difficult to deal with. ”
The scorpion thought about it.
If Kazekage and the Human Pillar Force are combined, the difficulty of him and Deidara in capturing the Human Pillar Force will skyrocket.
"Do you want me to stop them?"
"No, I have other plans, maybe this is a good opportunity. If you're lucky, I'll be able to add one more Kazekage to my collection. ”
Listening to the exchange between Deidara and the scorpion, Kankuro in the back was already full of worry, but at the moment he couldn't do anything, he could only watch the implementation of the two of them's vicious plan.
