Chapter 84: The Ghost Lantern (Part II)

The clouds were overcast, and the light rain was like a sparse grain of rice, dripping down on the streets of Yunin Village.

On the sightseeing tower of this ninja village, which is famous for its peace and affluence, twelve ninja ninjas wearing white masks on their backs are standing on the top floor and looking down, and behind them are several corpses of Yu Shinobi who have broken limbs and are lying in a pool of blood.

Two tall, broad-shouldered guys stood at the forefront. The other ten, who seemed to be of a slightly lower status, were behind the two men, but they were all very far apart from each other, and none of the two people were less than a meter apart.

"Lord Thunderya, did Lord Mizukage really say that he wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the matter of the Tang Ninja Village?"

One of the short ninjas among the ten people asked worriedly, "The Tang Ninja Village and the Land of Fire and the Land of Thunder all have mutual aid agreements, what is the difference between us doing this and directly declaring war on them?" ”

When the question was raised, he was greeted by an uncomfortable silence. Others don't say it, but they are secretly complaining in their hearts-

Over the years, Mizukage has given fewer confusing orders?

These old people have long stopped asking such questions that they can't figure out.

"Are you suspicious of me?"

A few seconds later, the tall man known as Lord Thundertooth removed his mask, revealing an exotic face that was characteristic of the Land of Thunder - thick lips, green eyes, kelp-colored hair, and natural thick eyeliner.

A pair of knives wrapped in cloth hung from his waist, and a mysterious, half-human-sized tarp bag hung heavily from his back.

He looked at the ninja who had just spoken, with a smiling expression and a gentle and affectionate expression.

Small kiosk

The latter subconsciously took a step back and touched the ninja knife behind his back, and everyone else could feel his nervousness through the mask.

Not only did he keep a close eye on the movements of the Black Hoe Thunder Fang, but he also cautiously watched the others.

All of the people present were the shinobi in the blood mist, and as long as they gave a plausible reason after killing their companions, Mizukage-sama wouldn't even care, so every companion was a potential enemy, and there was no trust at all.

"Don't be so nervous, I don't have any plans to hold a funeral for you."

A strange smile welled up on Black Hoe Thunder Tooth's face, which seemed a little too feminine compared to his generous figure.

"What did you just say...... Is this a declaration of war?

"Isn't it a declaration of war that Konoha's instantaneous water stop and the traitorous Orochimaru ran to the hinterland of the water country?"

His answer made Shangnin, who had just questioned it, slightly stunned.

"During the last ninja war, the country of Yuno was a springboard for Konoha to counterattack the country of water. Now that the daimyo has not assigned tasks and funds to the village for a long time, this time we came, in addition to repaying Konoha, but also to return with the materials and wealth of Yunin Village. Otherwise, do you think that a mere imp is worth sending twelve shinobi to Mizukage-sama? ”

Speaking of this, Black Hoe Thunder Tooth grinned and said loudly and nervously, "Before coming this time, I have already made an agreement with the Evil God Sect lurking in the Land of Soup...... Make it disappear overnight! We want to hold a grand funeral for this glittering village!

"In a moment, you will send five people to the various hotels to find the little ghost of the Ghost Lantern Clan. He shouldn't hide here with his true face, maybe he will change his appearance and makeup, you go to the hotel and ask if there are any imps staying here alone, most of them will have clues.

"As for the others, go to various locations in this village, unleash the Fog Concealment Technique, and be sure to envelop the entire Yunin Village and make this place our home turf!"

Black Hoe Thundertooth looked at the cloudy sky and smiled with satisfaction.

"When the thunder sounds, the cult will be dispatched! Tonight, we want to leave no chickens and dogs in this whitewashed village! ”

"Yes!" Seeing that the black hoe and thunder teeth were actually arranged like this, the ninjas were a little ready to move, and their bodies were full of murderous energy.

It's a ninja resort, and it's a lot more fun to get started in a moment than to trouble the villagers in the land of water who are like pigs and dogs.

After receiving the order, the ten ninjas left one after another, but the one next to the black hoe and thunder tooth remained silent, putting some pressure on the former.

"Dried persimmon wave whale, this mission is an order personally conveyed by your fellow clan, Mizukage-sama's most trusted persimmon ghost, you are still staying here, do you have any doubts?"

The black hoe asked with his white teeth bared, but his hands unconsciously moved to his waist.

Obviously, the guy in front of him is the only character in his heart who is really an opponent.

"You're mistaken. I'm just thinking about it, and the people who came here tonight are people who Mizukage-sama doesn't really like...... There are both Terumi and Taketori, so I don't know how many people will survive after the night. ”

The voice of the dried persimmon whale is very rough and pessimistic, but it sounds like it is laughing.

As he spoke, he stepped over the fence at the top of the tower.

"Then I'll take my leave first, Thunder Tooth Shangren. I hope I'll see you alive tomorrow morning. ”

Then, before he could return the favor, he leapt off the edge and disappeared without a trace.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This guy. ”

Black hoe Thunder gritted his teeth, and after being silent for half a minute, his face turned from cloudy to clear, and he quickly opened the tarpaulin bag behind him-

Inside, there was a beautiful boy with purple hair and red eyes and a breathing mask.

Since crossing the sea, this child has been carried by him.

"Ranmaru, how are you?"

Raiya turned his head and adjusted the cloth to the back of his side so that he could see the other man's eyes.

"It's fine." The boy named Ranmaru smiled reluctantly with a tired face, a red light flashing in his eyes.

"The man named Dried Persimmon Whale didn't go far, and he was still watching you."

"I guessed it. This clan is the most loyal lackeys of the lost position. ”

Lei Ya was not surprised, but said quite confidently: "When the fog rises after a while, we will take the opportunity to leave, and it doesn't matter if they and Tang Ren fight to the death!" If it's just a persimmon whale alone, you don't have to care about him. Today is a rainy day that I have chosen for a long time to decide, not to mention him, even if the dry persimmon ghost is handed over, he will not be my opponent. ”

It turned out that the arrangement of Yunin Village was of course the order of the four generations of Mizukage, but it also facilitated Raiya's defection plan!

Although he is one of the seven ninja swords that Mizukage "trusts", even the former owner of Jiaomu, the watermelon mountain puffer ghost, and the absolute diehards of the Fog Hidden Village are said to be executed by collaborating with the enemy, and the ghost lamp clan of the second generation of Mizukage was directly wiped out.

If he continues to stay in this crazy village, there is only one way to die. It wasn't the end he wanted.

"Ranmaru, I've already thought about it. We're going to all the scenic places so you can have a good look at this ninja world. When we get tired of it, we will go to a rich and hidden mountain to occupy the mountain as the king, and never separate! ”

Although Black Hoe Thunder Tooth's words were a little numb, there was a hint of emotion in the eyes of Lan Maru on his back, and he decided that it was better not to tell him the truth about the power of the Dry Persimmon Ghost Sect, so as not to blow Thunder Tooth's confidence.

"Hmm!" Ranmaru nodded heavily.

"Alright, let's get started."

Looking at the fog that spread throughout the Tang Ninja Village below, Lei Ya raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, and then raised his twin swords high into the sky, and the cotton cloth wrapped around them quickly fell off like a cicada, revealing a forked cold sharp blade.

The dark clouds on the top of Yunin Village seemed to have been ordered, and they changed from the slow fluttering just now to a thousand-fold speed of high-speed rolling, squeezing, and rubbing, making a dull movement!

Bright flashes of light rattled in the clouds, as if announcing the coming night of blood.

Meanwhile.

The ghost lantern Suigetsu that the fog ninjas are looking for is experiencing the beginning of this unforgettable night.

Yi Yong wore a cute fox headdress, with a rigid face, like a corpse, staring motionlessly at the white-haired boy in front of him, his eyes narrowed rarely, as if he saw something that bothered him.

As if he felt that the moisture in the air around him was oppressing him, a trace of cold sweat welled up on the door of the ghost lamp Shui Yue's head.

The last time he felt this way was two years ago when he ran blindly in a foggy village and hit his head on the dried persimmon ghost and heard the other party's dry smile.

[I feel like I'll be killed if I stay here!] 】

Thinking of this, the ghost lamp Shui Yue grunted in his throat, and regardless of whether Yiyong planned to forgive him or not, he simply turned around and ran away!

[This guy looks dumb! I don't think I'm a speed-type player! 】

While complaining in his heart, he quickly fled from Yiyong, and ran out of a distance of more than ten meters in a blink of an eye.

When the ghost lantern Shui Yue saw the street corner not far away, there was endless hope in his eyes.

Until Yiyong's voice sounded in his ears: "You stop." ”

"Mom!"

Ghost Lantern Shui Yue yelled in fright, stumbled under his feet, and planted himself headlong against the wall next to the streetβ€”but the imaginary smashing of the head, or the swelling of the head, did not happen.

When his head came into contact with the wall, it immediately became transparent, like a piece of gel full of elasticity, and Yi Yong, who had thought that he was going to use the Palm Immortal Technique to heal him, stopped, but his eyes became even colder than before.

Nine-Tails felt the malice rising from the righteous body, a little inexplicable, he didn't think that this little ghost was the kind of person who was angry because of being robbed, not to mention that this robbery looked like a farce from beginning to end.

The ghost lantern Shui Yue, who got up, was immediately wrapped around his hands and torso by a stream of whip.

Yiyong walked over with a grim face, grabbed the shoulder of the ghost lamp Shui Yue, and pressed him against the wall.

Not only did the ghost lamp Shui Yue cry, he was about to melt, looked around nervously, and reminded with some trembling: "Hey, hey, hey!" This handsome guy with facial paralysis is illegal to use this kind of ninjutsu in this village! ”

"It depends on whether you're human or not."

Yi Yong's words made the ghost lantern Shui Yue and the nine tails dizzy, and they didn't know where to start.

"Y-What do you mean?"

Ghost Lantern Shui Yue felt the gaze of righteousness, as if human fingers were slowly brushing over his internal organs, and his nose was about to fall off his face.

"I ask you if you're human?"

Yi Yong asked again.

"Of course I am!

! ”

Ghost Lantern Shuiyue found that the other party's gaze was focused on his row of fine fangs, thinking that he understood the reason for Yiyong's question, and suddenly complained a little angrily.

"You're not from the Land of Water, are you? My teeth of this shape are very common in our country! It's you who are lonely and unheard, so you can't say that I'm not human! This is blatant discrimination! ”

"And what's going on with your body? It doesn't feel like a normal person......"

Don't blame Yiyong for doubting the ghost lamp Shui Yue.

Because in the vision of the [Transparent World], the ghost lantern water moon is completely different from human beings from muscles to bones to internal organs. That state is more like a gelatinous substance between flesh and water, which can be kneaded and pinched at will.

In short, none of the Ghost Lantern Shui Yue's whole body is truly solid.

Ghost Lantern Shuiyue's eyes rolled, thinking that Yiyong was referring to what he had just hit his head on the wall and bounced back.

"This is my family secret technique that I practice! Originally, my head should have turned into water if I hit the wall, but I can't do that now, so it looks like a lump of jelly! ”

He explained in a panic that this was why he couldn't break free from the whip.

Yiyong blinked his eyes: "Turned into water?" ”

"I'm going to stop this first! You get the idea. ”

The ghost lantern Shuiyue stopped the hydration technique, and the feeling of being brushed through the internal organs just now came again.

Yi Yong once again observed him with penetration.

This time, the body of the ghost lamp Shuiyue is really no different from ordinary people. However, it also means that if he lies now, Yiyong can observe.

Soβ€”

"Have you ever eaten someone?"

The question of Yi Yong was thrown into Ghost Lantern Shuiyue's mind like a bomb.

[It's over!] Finished! This guy is a psychopath! Why should I listen to that guy and come to this village! 】

"Talk back." Yi Yong shook him.

Ghost Lantern Shuiyue almost cried: "I occasionally want to roast someone and eat it!" But I only eat jelly at home! Because eating other things will digest into poop, and when you use water, you will be ridiculed! ”

This is a side effect of cultivating the art of hydration, and you can't eat solid food in a general sense, otherwise there will be strange things in it after the body is completely turned into water, which is really obstructive. A colorless, gelatinous food like jelly is the most suitable.

But if his eldest brother is full of moon, he will be able to absorb nutrients directly from the water.

[It's the truth.] 】

Yi Yong nodded, and then lifted the water whip.

But before the ghost lamp Shui Yue could breathe a sigh of relief, Yiyong was already about to slap his face into his face, and said in a cold voice: "Absolutely, absolutely can't eat people, you know?" ”

"If you don't say it, I know! Bastard! ”

The ghost lamp Shuiyue sandwiched the curse words in the pitiful screams, which was really infuriating.

"If you're okay with anything else, I'll go! It's too dangerous to be with someone like you! ”

Seeing that Yiyong had no intention of stopping him, the ghost lantern Shui Yue was about to leave.

At this moment, at the tallest observation tower in Yunin Village, there was a sudden thunder like an explosion in the sky, and the lightning that fell in the darkness illuminated the entire village in a miserable white.

Yi Yong followed the sound and found that above the sky, the cloud vortex was rolling like waves, but the thunder and lightning that continued to fall fell on the surroundings of the tower, which seemed a little strange.

"The Technique of the Water Wrist!"

A familiar voice rang out.

Yi Yong turned his head and saw that Ghost Lantern Shuiyue's right arm was several times thicker than before, and the muscles were knotted, but the right hand of that thick arm was still held on the scabbard of the katana he had just bought as it had been a few minutes ago.

But no matter how hard the ghost lamp Shui Yue dragged back, not to mention it, even Yi Yong's hand didn't move a single bit because of this.

"Don't get me wrong! I'm just giving it a try! ”

Seeing that Yiyong's face did not change, Ghost Lantern Shui Yue quickly let go and waved his hand to explain.

The next moment, a fog poured out from the side of the street from nowhere, and Ghost Lantern Shuiyue, who was not sure how to get out a second ago, immediately raised the corners of his mouth excitedly, "Let's say goodbye!" Never again! ”

With that, he retreated into the familiar fog.

Yi Yong shook his head, he originally wanted to ask some questions about the land of water, but now, he could only find another chance.

One man and one fox walked through the fog and returned to the hot spring inn.

But the moment they entered, their eyes widened vigilantly at the same time, and they spoke at the same time.

Yi Yong: "It smells of blood." ”

Nine-Tails: "There's someone in your room!" ”
