Chapter 50: Useful People
Hmmmββ!
Qu Zhen instinctively shot a kunai in the direction of the sound, but there was only air there.
"Are the people of Konoha so unfriendly?"
The voice flickered left and right, up and down, so ethereal that Qu Zhen couldn't tell the other party's position.
"Come out!"
Qu Zhen stopped, his gaze quickly and vigilantly.
Suddenly, he felt a chuckle from the top of his head, and he was secretly happy in his heart, the wind attribute chakra was running to the extreme, he took a deep breath, raised his head suddenly, and made a seal with one hand, but before he could spit out the big breakthrough, a huge shoe print had already been printed on his face.
Bangββ!
Qu Zhen's whole person fell to the ground uncontrollably.
The last memory of him was a good-looking big brother crouching in front of him, and he couldn't hear what he said.
When Hoshino Mu returned to the outpost with Qu Zhen in tow, he saw that the entire outpost was basically only broken walls, and there were still black scorch marks on it.
It's a pity that this building can still be used when the sand ninja occupies it in the future.
Ye Cang stood in the center, and all kinds of shriveled corpses lay at his feet.
Hoshino Mu swallowed his saliva, if you get a little closer, it will melt, and if you look at it again, it will explode!
"You're back?"
Ye Cang found Hoshino Mu coming back, the vigilance in his eyes was removed, he looked around, behind his hands, and kicked a dried corpse at his feet a little farther away, thinking that he was very hidden.
Don't kick the killing.
But he could only think about this sentence in his heart, and said that he didn't dare.
Hoshino Mu nodded and was just about to speak, when several figures appeared around him, and they were the troops who were going to pursue the other messengers.
The first time this outpost saw Ye Cang, except for those who couldn't escape to delay time, the rest of the people tried their best to flee and wanted to go back to report the news.
But they still underestimated, or said, there was no way to survive the pursuit of the Sand Ninja army.
There were two sharp whistles in the distance, and Hoshino Mu nodded: "It seems that Kosuke and they have also completed their task, change their clothes, and walk to the front in the language of the Fire Country, and the others are silent." β
"My lord, this man in your hand..."
A shinobi asked when he saw the Konoha ninja in Hoshino's hand.
"He? He's of great use. β
Hoshino raised the Konoha ninja in his hand and smiled strangely.
ββββ
It was already late at night, and about 20 kilometers west of Ezu Castle, the central city of the Fire Country, Konoha's base, and the chief officer's office were brightly lit at the moment.
"Hokage-sama, Sand Shinobi suddenly launched an attack on our western defense line, and now we have broken through our outermost defense line, we have not been able to resist Raksha's Kamishinobi, ask for support!"
"Yes, only Raksha has been found so far, but the follow-up strength of the Sand Shinobi is not clear for the time being, and it cannot be ruled out that the other party will flank the troops of Lord Jiraiya with Iwa Shinobi."
β...β
"I haven't received any message from the southwest for the time being, Lord Shikaku, um... Okay, I'll go and have people check it out tomorrow... Be! I'll send someone right away! β
The shinobi who was on the phone wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he felt that Shikaku was putting more pressure on him than the patriarch.
Not long after he hung up the phone, a ninja didn't knock on the door and broke in directly: "Oh no, Lord Hongtian, the southwest defense line is under fierce attack, ask for support!" β
Ape Fei Hongtian didn't care about the other party's rudeness, and hurriedly shouted: "Where did you get the information?" β
"Qu Zhen, Qu Zhen escaped, and after bringing this information back, he fell into a coma, and now he is being treated by a medical ninja."
"Did he say that the sand shinobi were deployed?"
"There's an elite shinobi, and according to the description, it's supposed to be Kosuke. Aoi-sama has already taken the lead in supporting him. β
"This idiot!"
Sarufei Hongtian pinched his eyebrows, how could the Shimura family have such a reckless guy.
Wait, isn't that guy's brother in the Southwest?
Ape Fei Hongtian sighed: "Hurry up and organize people to pick up Aoi." β
"Yes!"
At this time, in the infirmary of the base, Qu Zhen, who was resting, suddenly opened his eyes, motionless and first used his residual vision to observe the surrounding situation, and after making sure that there was no one, he took out a scroll and performed spiritism, and six centipede-like puppets drilled out, and then quietly drilled holes under the bed and drilled into the ground.
Qu Zhen cleaned up the traces, then lay back on the bed and knocked over the water cup at the head of the bed with his hand.
The sound of the water cup bursting alarmed the medical ninjas outside.
"How are you?"
The medical ninja stepped forward to help him up and asked with concern.
"I, I... I'm sorry. β
Qu Zhen closed his eyes, and the medical ninja's eyes were wide open, and behind his back, a sharp blade that shimmered with cold light pierced through his back, and blood foamed from the corner of his mouth.
Sarufei Hongtian was lying on the makeshift bed in the office, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, he always felt that something was wrong, combined with the sudden attack of Sand Shinobi, which made him even more restless.
After flipping over a few more times, he sat up sharply, came to the phone, and dialed the number of the Hokage's office.
"Hey, is it Hokage-sama?"
"Hokage-sama just fell asleep, I'm Nara Shikaku."
Hearing the deliberately suppressed voice on the other side, Hong Tian was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry to disturb the adults' rest, but the situation on the southwest defense line really makes me uneasy, and I'm worried that I stupidly missed some important clues and caused the village to suffer." β
"You tell me the details of what you know, and don't let go of any details."
In the Hokage's office, Shikaku listed all the information on a piece of paper, squinting his eyes, and the tip of his pen scribbled on the information one by one.
"The wounded, for help, for support, Kosuke..."
The geography of the Land of Fire, the staffing of the Sand Hidden Village, the form and style of the other party... A lot of information was peeled back in his mind, and it gradually became clear.
After chanting many times in a row, suddenly, his eyes widened, and he quickly picked up the phone: "Hong Tian, Hong Tian!" Where is that wounded?! Be sure to look at him, he might..."
"A spy? Or is it easy to forbear? I'm more inclined to the former, after all, it's still very risky for the disguise technique to try to fool experienced ninjas. β
Lu Jiu heard the voice on the other end of the phone turn into a voice that was completely unfamiliar to him, and his mood suddenly fell to the bottom.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Kosuke."
"Don't pretend, Hoshino Maki."
Shikaku turned his head, and the Hokage-sama was already standing behind him at some point, calmly looking at the infographic he had just drawn.
"Huh? Hokage-sama? Good evening, if it's convenient, can you tell me who the person I was talking to just now? β
At this time, Hoshino Mu sat in the office chair of the supreme governor of this base, his back against the back of the chair, his calves pressed on the shoulders of Sarufei Hongtian, who was kneeling on the ground, and he clamped the microphone around his neck, leisurely looking at Konoha's confidential documents.
There was no reply on the other end of the phone, and Hoshino Mu put down his foot, and the instep of his foot smashed directly into Sarufei's kneecap, making him let out a muffled snort.
Sarutobi Hizashi and Shikahisa are both ninjas with superior strength, how could they not hear this sound.
Lu Jiu was the first to speak: "Nara Lu Jiu." Hoshino Maki, a long-admired daimyo. β
Hoshino Maki nodded and was not surprised.
There are only a few smart people in Konoha, and the one who can still be in the Hokage's office at this point is Nara Shikaku.
