Chapter 51: The Prey

That's too careful, isn't it?

Xie Mao frowned and watched the toad disappear, without trying to catch up.

From the toad's point of view, Xie Mao came to this ruin and collected something on a piece of wood, which did not necessarily arouse Jiraiya's alarm.

Even if he didn't take any chances, he decided to transfer again, but he probably wouldn't do it immediately.

Besides, it's good to be discovered...... Xie Mao was about to leave after thinking for a short time, when he suddenly heard the sound of running from behind.

Xie Mao thought it was Luo Sha, Ye Cang and others, but he thought that as a ninja, they could hide the running movement very well, so that he could hear it clearly.

Those who have this kind of performance are likely to be just lower forbearance or more partial middle forbearance.

Xie Mao turned around and found that it was two young people he didn't know who were running in, they were still obviously hostile, but after running closer to see Xie Mao's appearance, they all stopped and were stunned on the spot.

"This little ghost, it doesn't seem to be one of the three little ghosts, huh?" One of the ninjas scratched his head and said to his companion in confusion.

“…… It's a transformation technique! The companion's lips were slightly thinner, and he seemed to be more intelligent, and he brushed the kunai, "Boy, surrender obediently, we won't hurt you!" ”

Hey, these two people seem to know the three apprentices of Jiraiya...... Xie Mao looked left and right, and suddenly asked in a loud voice, "You are Yan Shinobi!" ”

"Huh!?"

The two ninjas were stunned at the same time, they looked at each other, and finally the companion who looked smarter replied, "You recognized the wrong person, we are Taki Shinobi!" ”

As he spoke, the other companion rummaged through his body, as if trying to find the forehead guard that represented Taki Shinobi.

Xie Mao blinked, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, even if he wanted to pretend to be indifferent, he couldn't hold back.

Without hesitation, Xie Mao immediately took out two sealing scrolls.

On the other side, the two ninjas suddenly came back to their senses, thinking that they were talking so much to a little ghost, and were about to forcibly catch Xie Mao when they saw two puppets that quickly attacked and bloomed into a killing mechanism.

"Ah!!h

"No !!"

These two ninjas really only had an ordinary level of lower ninja, and they were captured on the spot by Xie Mao's puppet, and it didn't even take much effort, they had already dispersed their defensive shelves when they saw the fierce and vicious puppet.

Looking at these two young men who were not very old and had tears in their eyes, Xie Mao didn't talk much nonsense, and directly read the memory with his green pupils.

Dealing with enemies with poor willpower, the role that Qingtong can play makes Xie Mao very surprised.

Soon, Xie Mao figured out the information on the two of them.

Xie Mao and Ye Cang guessed correctly, these two young ninjas, as well as the employer who hired a group of ninjas, are all from Iwakuin Village, after finding Jiraiya and breaking out into battle, Jiraiya successfully escaped with three little apprentices, and the Iwa ninjas who did not catch up had to continue the search while monitoring the base that Jiraiya once had, hoping to have an unexpected gain.

So they waited for Xie Mao, and the two young ninjas who were originally only in charge of monitoring saw that there was only a little ghost, and the idea of greed suddenly occupied their hearts, so they recklessly bumped into it.

As for why he disguised himself as Taki Shinobi, and why he did sabotage in the territory of the Land of Rain, these two lower status and less clever brains are not clear, but they only know that it is related to the leader of Yuyin Village, known as the "demigod" Sanshoyu Hanzo.

It's actually related to Sanshoyu Hanzo himself, when did he offend Iwa Shinobi again? Well, if it's really offended, there's no need for Iwa Shinobu to go around in circles and sabotage in the name of Taki Shinobi...... Xie Mao thought about it, and saw that the two young ninjas who were bound by the puppet were already in tears, and they were busy begging for mercy.

If in the original world, these two people may have just completed compulsory education...... Xie Mao sighed lightly and controlled the puppets to end their lives, allowing them to die quickly and without much pain.

They came with murderous intent, so Xie Mao had no idea of mercy, and there was no room for mercy.

He is a ninja in Sand Hidden Village, and he can't have sympathy for ninjas in other villages.

He just had some regrets and felt that it was too cruel.

There will always be people who will die because of the collision of ideals, and Xie Mao can't use his own ideals to accommodate the ideals of others.

So he raised his cane, and his white hair was wrapped around the tip of the cane, fluttering gently in the wind.

…………

"He has been able to kill the weak calmly." Ye Cang, who was hiding in the concealment, looked at Xie Mao not far away, and let out a long sigh like a mature woman.

Defeating and killing the strong is a difficult thing, and it often takes the use of stratagem or desperate efforts to defeat the strong with the weak, and challenging the strong can best exercise the tenacity of the mind.

Relatively speaking, it is a simple matter to defeat the weak, but killing the weak is not as simple as imagined.

The weak are also human beings, they are the same kind, unlike the crushing ants, the weak will beg for mercy, will cry, will surrender, will win sympathy.

People will empathize, especially when the other party is only weak and does not pose any threat to themselves, it is easier to pity the weak.

Some people don't kill the weak because of their conceit, and some people don't kill the weak because of pity, so they give the weak a chance to turn the tables.

The strong can be the prey, the weak can also be the hunter, and if you don't want to die, the ninja shouldn't have unnecessary compassion.

Killing the weak requires overcoming pity and sympathy, and calmly killing the weak requires much more.

When a person can calmly kill the weak, either because of ruthlessness, or because of numbness, or because of a firm determination.

As an examiner, Hakura could finally say with certainty that the boy was a real ninja.

"Alas~" Karura sighed softly, she was a little unbearable, but after experiencing the war and becoming a shinobi, she couldn't bear it and just turned into a sigh.

On the battlefield, either you die or I die, and those who have compassion will not end well.

Luo Sha's expression was very natural, even with some approval, he didn't understand the sighs of the two women, and said in a low voice: "Self-inflicted, as long as it is an enemy, no matter whether it is strong or weak, it should die, and only those with such an awareness are qualified to survive from the battlefield." ”

Ye Cang glanced at him: "If you are conscious but not strong enough, you won't survive." ”

"Heh, that's more likely to be alive than someone who is neither conscious nor strong enough." Rosa didn't hesitate to fight back.

"Okay, okay, Kazekage-sama sent you to do the mission together because he wanted you to reconcile, not for you to quarrel."

Seeing that the two of them were still a little angry, Ka Ruluo turned to say: "Didn't the Scorpion Jun find a clue, I'm afraid that I will soon encounter Jiraiya, after all, the other party is one of the three ninjas, the personal disciple of the three generations of Hokage, we must also be prepared." ”

"Hmph, I can solve Jiraiya alone." Luo Sha snorted coldly and chased after Xie Mao, who had already gone away.

Ye Cang sighed: "Ka Ruluo, only a good temper like you can endure this guy." ”

"Luo Shajun is just a little cold on his lips." Karuro shook her head slightly, her sandy brown hair swaying slightly.

…………

"Jiraiya-sensei, do you really have a technique to turn enemies into toads?" A boy with good facial features and orange hair and brown eyes asked aloud.

"Of course!"

Jiraiya, who is called a teacher, laughs and responds that he is a tall man with long white hair, a red mark under his black eyes, and a pimple on the left wing of his nose, but this does not affect his heartiness and kindness in the slightest.

This is a man who looks like a hero.

After laughing, he looked at the boy who asked the question and said, "Yahiko, who do you want to turn into a toad?" ”

"Of course, Jiraiya-sensei!" Yahiko raised her hand excitedly.

The two little ones next to him suddenly burst into laughter when they heard this, they were the red Nagato who stayed in the sea to cover his eyes, with short light blue-purple hair, light orange eyes, a delicate face, and delicate and lovely facial features.

Yahiko is the most cheerful and assertive of the three of them, and he is considered the eldest.

Jiraiya was stunned for half a second, and then he was amused by Yahiko's joke, and the four of them sat happily at the table, as if they were a family.

Suddenly, Jiraiya stopped smiling, stood up with a slight frown, and under the guidance of the three little inexplicable eyes, Jiraiya opened the door and walked out, and soon, he walked back with a frown.

"Pack up and get ready to move." Jiraiya said with a smile as much as he could.

The three little ones looked at each other when they heard this, and a strong uneasiness suddenly rose in their hearts.
