Chapter 29: Ambush

"Ah......h

When Kusina and Mizuto saw Araki lift the rectangular wooden box in such a way, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, and there were many shocking words in their hearts, all of which were blocked in their mouths, but they couldn't say a word.

They didn't know how heavy the box was, but in terms of size, it was definitely not light.

"Forehead ......"

The owner of the ninja bag watched in a daze as Araki carried the box out of the store, the expression on his face became very strange for a while, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Jiraiya and said, "Jiraiya-sama, please sign the scroll, and the work on my side will be finished." ”

"No problem."

Zilai also cooperated very well and wrote his name in the corresponding position, and then turned to look at the three people who were already standing outside the ninja shop, and said, "Now we can go." ”

"Yes!"

The three of them answered in unison.

Followed by.

Led by Jiraiya, the group came to the gate of Konoha Village.

Araki looked at the majestic gate, and couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart, it was not the first time he had seen the gate of Konoha Village, in the years of practice in the past, he would occasionally pass by here, after all, this is also a more classic check-in place in the village, since he has crossed over, there is no reason not to look at it.

However, he never went out at the gate.

There is a rule in Konoha Village, the ninjas in the village, under the premise that I have no mission, are not allowed to go out at the main gate at will, otherwise they will be dealt with according to the disobedience of the order, and if the circumstances are serious, they will be recognized as treacherous ninjas.

Araki won't give himself such trouble!

However, this is not the first time he has left Konoha Village, he has gone out once when the invaders of Yunyin Village came to arrest Kushina, but at that time he was not detected by the people of the village.

On the bright side, it can be understood that the moment is the first time that Araki has left Konoha Village.

"This one is so big!"

Every time Araki walked to the gate of Konoha Village, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, from a visual point of view, the height of the gate was at least five or six stories high, and a huge passage was opened in the middle of the wall.

Both doors have red handwriting on them, and the logo of Konoha Village is on the top of the door frame, and when the two doors are fully opened, there is a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Such a door gave him the feeling that even a giant could pass through.

"Yes! It's really big! ”

Kusina then sighed that when she first came to Konoha Village, the huge gate gave her a great visual shock, so much so that during the time she first entered the village, she felt that everything in the entire village was much larger than the Vortex Hidden Village.

Even though she has already adapted to Konoha Village after living in Konoha Village for a few years, she still feels very shocked when she looks at it now.

"This door was designed by the original Hokage Senju Pillar!" Jiraiya said with a smile: "Many people who participated in the construction of the village at that time thought that there was no need for such a large gate, and if there was a large flow of traffic in and out of the village, then a slightly wide gate could be designed, and then a small gate could be made on both sides, so that the small gate would normally be opened, but the first Hokage-sama felt that it was not shocking enough to reflect the inclusiveness of the village, so it was designed as a unified and spacious gate." "I see." Araki nodded silently, this door is quite atmospheric, but it may be a bit troublesome to open and close the door every day.

Between words.

Jiraiya and his party had already walked to the door.

There are no ninjas guarding the gate at the gate of the village, and it seems that they can enter and exit at will, but this is actually an illusion, on the high wall at the gate, there are ninjas on duty at every distance, they are engrossed in staring at the surrounding situation, no matter who wants to walk out of the gate, they can't escape their eyes.

Not only that, but anyone who enters the gate will also be seen by them and perceived by the enchantment.

Outside the wall, there are also several towers, on which there are several ninjas on duty, standing there to watch the roads leading to the village and the movement in the woods, to maintain the safety of the village as much as possible, and to report any problems that may arise as soon as possible.

"Don't we need to report?"

At this time, Mizumon raised a question, he was a good boy with excellent character and learning in the ninja school, understood the rules of the village, and abided by the rules of the village, knowing that he needed to report when he went out, so he raised the question.

"That's a good question, you can ask me any questions you have in mind, and I'll answer them for you all along the way." Jiraiya said with a smile: "When we take the task in the mission center of the Hokage Building, if we go out on a mission, we need to report to the people who are traveling with us, which is equivalent to reporting, and there is no need for additional reporting, but if it is some unexpected situation, you can show him when you meet someone on the road, and let him convey it to the Hokage-sama for you, however, for the sake of safety, it is best to tell a few more people." ”

"Understood." Watergate nodded, silently jotting down the experiences.

Between words.

Jiraiya had already crossed the gate of Konoha Village with the three of them, officially walked out of the village, and stepped onto the ground outside the village.

Such a change has caused everyone's mood to fluctuate to a greater or lesser extent.

All of a sudden.

The expressions on the faces of several people changed, and their eyes unconsciously looked at the surrounding scenery.

It's still the same ground.

Still the same trees.

It's still the same sky.

What's different is ...... This is the world beyond the walls.

"Ahead is the edge of the Konoha Village's enchantment, and when we get out of the enchantment, we will face real danger, which may not have been thought of by you before, I hope you don't take it lightly." Jilai also explained in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

The three of them echoed in unison again.

Soon.

Jiraiya and his party walked through the village barrier and walked all the way to the west, and now they walked on the dirt official road.

It is not a clear road, but it is a road when there are more people walking, and the soil on the ground is firmly trodden and distinct from the grass on both sides, and there are no trees, which is different from the feeling of the tree-lined path in the village.

"Huh?"

Araki frowned slightly, a big question mark popped up in his heart, and not long after they came out, he felt the anger of several people. ...."One, two, three, four......"

"Eleven, twelve."

"Twelve people in total!"

"All staring this way!"

"What do you mean?"

Araki's heart pondered silently, he felt twelve breaths, and these qi were all looking at this side, on both sides of the woods, but not symmetrical, there were nine qi in the forest on the left, and three qi in the forest on the right.

Among them, the nine qi on the left are also divided into three groups.

In a sense, he couldn't be sure if these people were together, but he could tell that they were four clearly divided squads.

Odd.

Are these people squatting?

The target can't be the supplies here, right?

Ninjas in Sand Hidden Village?

Araki thought about many questions at this moment, but he didn't answer, he glanced at Jiraiya out of the corner of his eye, and didn't find anything unusual on the latter's face.

I must have found it out!

Araki was sure in his heart that this level of concealment would not easily fool Jiraiya, and the reason why Jiraiya didn't say anything should be to exercise their reflexes.

Araki glanced gently over Mizuto and Kushina again.

Watergate's turquoise eyes were full of excitement, and although they looked quite restrained, they still felt a sense of déjà vu coming out for an outing, and they definitely didn't notice the people around them.

Kushina's excitement level was even higher, and she kept looking around, but her targets were squirrels scurrying back and forth on the trees and the birds that occasionally landed on the branches, and she didn't begin to sense the situation around her.

Actually, she can't be blamed for this, she is only out of the gate now, who would have thought that the ambush is at the door.

This is not normal logic at all!

"Teacher Jiraiya, why don't we speed up, isn't the front line in a hurry, it's too late to walk slowly here." Araki suddenly proposed, drawing the attention of several people as he spoke.

"It's not for your sake, if you go up the tree now, the follow-up consumption of your body will be too great, and this road will soon come to an end, and after we reach the end, we will go directly into the woods." Jiraiya explained.

"Let's go into the woods now." Araki raised his hand and pointed to the woods on the right, pointing in the direction where the three qi were hidden, and said, "The southwest direction should be the nearest road." ”

"Do you all think so?"

Jiraiya still had a smile on his face, and his expression did not change at all, and he turned to look at Mizumon and Kushina.

"I'm okay with that." Watergate said.

"I'm okay with that." Kushina also doesn't care about this kind of thing.

"Since you don't have any opinions, let's follow what Araki said, let's go straight in the direction of the woods." Jiraiya nodded, and then motioned for the three of them to walk in the direction of the woods.

"Mr. Jiraiya, I think that after entering the woods, there needs to be a formation." Araki didn't leave immediately, but stood where he was and said seriously: "The box of supplies in my hand is not suitable for walking in the front and not for walking in the back. "...."Kushina is in charge of perception in the team, and she is more suitable in front of me."

"Mizumon can get an overview at the end of the team, so that whether Kushina is in danger or I am in danger, he can deal with it at the first time."

"So ......"

When Araki said this, a meaningful smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "Mr. Jiraiya has given us the lead, and it happens to be used as a map guide to ensure that we are moving in the right direction." ”

"Yes." Mizuto immediately nodded and said: "I think Araki is very reasonable, in fact, I just thought about the same problem, if it is by Jiraiya sensei, then what danger we encounter is to become Jiraiya sensei, which gives us a lot less room for experience, and we are leaving the village for the first time, and we don't know the route ahead at all." ”

"I agree!" Kushina nodded.

“……”

Jilai also stood in place in a daze, the whole person was stupid, just a few seconds ago, he still wanted to see how his disciples would deal with such a sudden sneak attack, and turned his head to become him to take the lead.

That's when things get troublesome.

He clearly sensed that there was a three-person team hidden in the woods ahead.

If he goes in first, then it is equivalent to him facing these three people, even if he acts into an effect that he doesn't know anything, it can be regarded as a wake-up call for the three disciples behind, so that they will not face too sudden and sudden situations.

But......

Now the atmosphere has come to this point.

There is no other way.

"Okay, you follow me, pay attention on the road, and when you encounter trouble, you must take the lead in solving the trouble with your own ability, remember, only when it is a matter of life and death, I will help you!"

Zilai also reluctantly explained.

In fact, when he first came out, he already felt the ninja in ambush here.

Even he didn't know what the purpose of these ambushes was, but he had a faint feeling in his heart that it didn't seem to have anything to do with the ninja materials in Araki's hands, but had other purposes.

He had thought that he could use such a natural layout to teach the three disciples a lesson, after all, this kind of phenomenon of being ambushed just after leaving the village was too difficult to encounter.

But......

It's all in vain.

No way.

I can only take the lead.

Jiraiya took a step by step, and walked into the woods, and not far in front of him, there was a hidden ambush ninja.

Kushina followed, then Araki, and finally Mizumon.

By this time, neither Kusinai nor Mizumon had completely come out of the excitement of leaving the village to go on a mission, and they had not yet entered the tension, and they did not realize that there was danger ahead.

As the self also came closer and closer.

The hidden ninjas were all nervous, and their hearts were panicked, after all, the tall man in front of them was not their target, but they were about to be broken.

The three of them quickly exchanged a look, and they could see the determination and ruthlessness in each other's children's holes.

All of a sudden.

Just when Jiraiya stepped on the grass.

Three black shadows burst out of the grass at the same time, each with a shuriken in their hands, and threw it at Jiraiya's body at such a close distance.
