Chapter 18: Encounters and Killings
"What's going on over there?" Orochimaru stood on the trunk of the tree, looking around with a gloomy look in his eyes, and asked Jiraiya on the other tree.
"Nothing was found, it shouldn't be on my patrol." Jiraiya carefully checked his ninja bag and prepared for battle.
"It's the same on my side, just waiting for Tanaka to come back, it seems that I ran to his side." Tsunade moved her wrist, her slightly excited eyes looking around, she couldn't help but fight.
The four-person leading teacher, Ape Fei Ri, couldn't let his students run to the front line so leisurely, and it was easy to make the ninjas in other classes unbalanced, so they assigned these students patrol tasks. However, such a task is not paid, after all, it is a task that has not been commissioned by the village, or this task is just a test assigned by the leading teacher.
But what I didn't expect was that I didn't encounter enemy patrol missions at all, and soon after they started, they spotted the figure of the hostile ninja. However, the four people who have recently increased their strength all want to test how strong they are, so they didn't go back to report, but began to track down this enemy.
The four of them are all people who are not afraid of heaven and earth, even if the other party is a ninja, they think they have the strength to fight, after all, they are the embarrassed people who forced the ape flying sun, the elite ninja. And they really can't beat the other party, so it should be no problem to escape, and it's with this idea that they started to pursue the enemy.
"It's a bit of a hassle." Tanaka's voice came from the shade of the tree, but what made the three people waiting frown was that they didn't find Tanaka's figure, did this guy use stealth in front of them?
However, the three of them, who have slowly begun to get used to Tanaka leisure and are exercising their skills all the time, still didn't say anything, after all, people work so hard to become stronger. A student like Tanaka Xian, even Sarutobi himself is a sigh of self-esteem, he thinks that he can't reach the point where Tanaka Ken is even walking and sealing, and he appreciates his efforts very much.
"What's the trouble? Are there any special circumstances? Jiraiya's pupils shrank, leaning against the trunk of the tree, and began to look around for movement.
"The other party is not alone, at least one squad of ninjas is over there, and the ninja who leads the team is likely to be at the upper ninja level." Tanaka's voice sounded faintly: "And it is not ruled out that they are just bait, there may be at least three teams of ninjas in ambush behind them." ”
Tsunade's and Orochimaru's eyes also began to become solemn, and a complete ninja squad appeared in a place that was still in Konoha's sphere of influence, no matter how you look at it, it would not be for sightseeing. Even if they didn't come to intercept their neatly staffed and well-armed transport team, there was definitely a possibility of endangering Konoha!
For the three people who love Konoha and love it, this is the most intolerable thing for them! But with their current strength, it is impossible to fight against a ninja squad that can cross the front line of the battlefield and run to the rear without the help of the leading teacher. But if they give up, they won't even be able to pass that level in their own hearts!
"I'll go back now and report to Mr. Sarufei, you go to the front and continue tracking, and the deity will leave a mark for you." Tanaka stepped out of the shadows, gave them a faint look, and then quickly ran in the direction of the convoy.
Shadow clone? Orochimaru's snake eyes narrowed, he finally knew what ninjutsu Tanaka had been practicing recently, anyway, is this guy only interested in ninjutsu that can help him!? The stand-in technique has a miraculous effect in battle, which Orochimaru knows, and the shadow clone can confuse the enemy, and it is really a suitable ninjutsu for Tanaka Xian, who is good at hiding in the shadows to give the enemy a fatal blow!
"Let's go, don't let Tanaka take the lead." Tsunade waved his hand and rushed in the direction of Tanaka's search.
Tanaka hid in the shadows, hiding his figure as much as possible, looking at the four ninjas who had already met with him from a distance. Judging from the signs on the other party's forehead, the four of them are all ninjas from Cloud Ninja Village, but they are not children like Tanaka Xian, but all of them are adult ninjas, at least at the level of medium ninjas.
Trouble too! Tanaka sighed in his heart, such a team is obviously going to carry out a very confidential mission, and now that Yun Ninja Village and Konoha are in a state of war, they definitely didn't come to the rear of Konoha to come and surrender. That is to say, at least before Sarutobi-sensei and them come to help, he will have to delay time, which is not an easy matter, and it is difficult for them to do it even with Tsunade.
Before Tsunade and them come, let me try it! Tanaka licked his lips, his eyes flashed, and his hand slowly rested on the hilt of his beloved sword. Finally, he was able to see the enemy's blood with his sword, and Tanaka could feel that the long black knife, which was said to have been found with him, was vibrating gently, as if he couldn't wait to enjoy the taste of the other party's blood.
But even if he wants to kill someone, Tanaka Xian doesn't dare to focus all his attention on someone on the other side, these people who are crawling on the battlefield are all perverts who can feel the murderous aura of others! Tanaka Xian had tried it on the body of the Ape Flying Sun Slash, even at a very long distance, as long as Tanaka Xian showed a little murderous aura to him, the Ape Fei Sun Slash would be aware of it.
Now Tanaka Xian has to learn how to be able to release his murderous aura before killing his opponent, but in fact, Tanaka Xian is a little worried. In fact, as far as Tanaka Xian, who has never killed anyone now, he has no murderous aura at all, or he is more like a stupid ......
After talking for a while, the four ninjas from the Cloud Ninja Village quickly separated, and Tanaka knew that the other party must have found out that they were being followed. In addition to lamenting that his and Tsunade's tracking skills are too bad, Tanaka is more excited.
With four ninjas at least the middle ninja level together, he definitely has no way to kill them, but as long as they are separated, he will have a lot of chances!
With only one chance to attack, Tanaka Ken must make sure that the target of his attack is the deity, not the opponent's doppelganger, and at the same time pay attention to whether his hand is sealed, so as to avoid the opponent using a stand-in technique. Tanaka didn't believe that these guys would be left alone so easily, especially after finding out that they were being followed!
After determining the direction of travel of the target he wanted to kill, and whether it was a doppelganger, Tanaka used his strange speed to sneak to the front, ready to kill his target with one blow!
Looking at the ninja who was slowly approaching, Tanaka Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of fierceness was faintly revealed. But the more it came to the last moment, the more Tanaka didn't dare to relax his vigilance, even if he killed the other party, he couldn't relax, who knows if anyone would hide behind and prepare to give him a fatal blow?
It's close, it's close! Tanaka remained motionless, even his eyes closed, eliminating all possibility of being perceived. The more critical it gets, the calmer Tanaka becomes, and there is no uncomfortable feeling in his heart that he is about to kill a life.
The moment the target ninja stepped into Tanaka's attack field, Tanaka moved, and almost at the moment when the opponent's foot landed, the knife in Tanaka's hand was already unsheathed. Before the other party could react, a long black and shiny knife had already appeared in his throat, and by the time he realized it, it was too late......
Putting the knife into the sheath, Tanaka Xian jumped lightly and flashed into the shadows, and now there are three people, and he can't let his guard down. Although he knew that after killing the enemy ninja, it would be best to bring the dead man's head back to the village, so that the village ninja could get more valuable things from the dead man's head, but the current situation did not allow him to dispose of the head.
In other words, the ninja school is really pragmatic, and it taught these small knowledge on the battlefield to Tanaka Xian and them early, so that they can avoid unnecessary losses. However, after killing someone, Tanaka Ken regrets not being able to bring back the other party's head, which is enough to prove that he is really a natural killer, or a heartless guy......
Originally, Tanaka Xian still wanted to continue hunting the target, but unfortunately Tsunade and they came too quickly, and there was really no way to compare the hiding skills with Tanaka Xian, and they were soon attacked by the other two middle ninjas. Worried about the shinobi who had disappeared, Tanaka Xian did not show up to help, but continued to hide in the shadows and ambush.
Fortunately, the other party seems to be planning to capture the three of them alive, and they didn't directly kill them, so Tsunade and they can still fight on an equal footing with the other party. After all, he already has the strength close to the level of the middle ninja, and if it weren't for the fact that he had too little combat experience, he would really have a chance to kill the opponent in 3VS2.
However, the current situation is not optimistic for the three of Tsunade, and the two shinobi with rich combat experience are almost playing tricks on them now. However, Tanaka watched it with relish from the side, and it was rare to see such a battle, and he could learn the skills of the battle by the way. As for what will happen to the three shinobi who are fighting hard, as long as they don't endanger their lives, then what does it have to do with Tanaka?
And Tanaka Ken also felt that Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya did need to fight more battles like this, and only in such life-threatening battles could they potentially comprehend more. A ninja is a person who lives between life and death, and only a ninja who has survived the test of life and death can be called a true ninja! This is what Tanaka realized.
"Ah Xian! I know you're nearby, hurry up and help! Jiraiya was once again cut out of the wound by the opponent's kunai, and finally couldn't help but roar loudly, if they continue like this, they may be killed! They really want to find an opponent to hone themselves, but now they are not honing themselves at all, Nima is simply masochistic!
As soon as Jiraiya's roaring words ended, the head of the ninja he was facing suddenly flew out. And Jiraiya was fortunate enough to witness the true meaning of killing, and the ninja who lost his head sprayed blood all over his body, drenching him all over his body.
"Do you think you're dying fast enough?" Tanaka Xian appeared beside him, forced back another Yun Ren with a knife, and said lightly to Jiraiya: "The other party has a Shang Ren who hasn't appeared, but I was exposed first." ”
"Ahh Lianas! I'm going to kill you! The last remaining ninja finally saw his companion, who had turned into a headless corpse, probably because they had different feelings for each other, so the other party directly began to run away. However, if he dealt with it calmly, it was possible to support his captain to rush over, but unfortunately he rushed directly to Tanaka Xian, who had just appeared.
You have to stay calm during the battle, Tanaka Kan thought faintly when he saw the other party rushing over. He didn't even need to make a direct move, they didn't hesitate to shoot at Tsunade who had just been abused very badly, and they directly handed over all the big moves when they were already holding back their anger.
Looking at Yun Shinobi, who was almost burned to charcoals, Tanaka said casually: "Hurry up and leave, we are not safe yet." "The other party has a shinobi hiding in the shadows, and the three stupid guys have almost consumed, none of them are combat power, and if they don't leave, they will wait to be served by the other party, Tanaka Xian doesn't have the confidence to directly confront a Shangnin!
