Konoha Winter Night

Because the place where the ninjas camped and the caravan were separated from each other, and there were no signs of invasion on the caravan side, it seemed that the sudden attack was clearly aimed at the three Touye people.

Because there is not enough fuel to support combustion, except for a few sparks that are still hanging on, most of them have almost completely disappeared. There used to be roots on the ground, but now at a glance, they are all gray and black wreckage. Of course This cannot be ruled out because it is at night.

The lit torches on the caravan side were hesitantly surrounding them at this moment. Most people were sleepy a moment ago, but were suddenly woken up from their beds with angry impulses after seeing the [scene]. Just shut up decisively.

In this scorched land, with the faint light from the gathered torches, the most noticeable thing that can be seen is the raised dome in the center.

The cold winter night wind would sometimes blow coldly, so we gathered together to try and bravely walked a few steps, and our nostrils smelled the withered smell in the air, which was the smell of roasted meat. The smell was fragrant, so their trembling bodies probably realized something.

"Master Ninja?"

"Are you still there?"

So bravery does not mean ignorance and fearlessness. The caravan stopped. Someone was the first to shout, followed by the second and third.

boom!

The sudden sound made everyone look around in confusion. When they judged the source of the sound, they saw what they saw.

The hemisphere that was originally standing suddenly collapsed, and large pieces of soil fell to the ground, splashing a lot of dust.

But the most surprising thing is that after the outermost semicircle disappears, four square earthen walls appear inside.

The south, east and west are on one side and enclosed together, seeming to support the previous hemisphere from the inside.

Compared to the four conspicuous walls, no one noticed the two figures who took the opportunity to escape from the hemisphere for a while.

Cough!

As the dust completely subsided, the two figures were finally fully visible to everyone. The coughing sound was obviously not a deliberate reminder of their presence, but more like a natural reaction.

The two men with gray heads and faces, apart from being a bit embarrassed, were obviously full of energy. It was initially judged that they were coughing because they breathed dust into their bodies.

"He wants to kill us, right?"

"This bastard."

While coughing, he still didn't forget to scream indignantly and blame someone who was not present at the moment.

"I want to take a shower."

"As for the rest, we'll talk about it later."

The girl who was gnashing her teeth was obviously also resentful, but she prioritized the situation.

Of course, this doesn't mean that she will let Dongye go.

"Although the battle plan is very successful, we can't spare him!"

"asshole!"

Mitarashi stopped coughing and had time to check the current situation on the battlefield, curling his lips with a feeling of dissatisfaction.

"Only a madman would think of something so crazy."

"Damn, that bastard!"

The girl seemed to have forgotten that she was one of the people who set the stage for such a crazy thing.

A man and a woman were filled with anger at this moment, and they could only vent their anger by shouting and cursing repeatedly. After all, that person was not in front of them.

After giving an explanation to the caravan, the noisy night finally became reluctantly quiet again after a long time.

Some people may have insomnia again this night, especially for Mitarai and Hinata Yuki, before they know the truth.

There is no time or energy to clear the battlefield, so.

The nearby location found was waiting for the fire to burn again, and then a figure walked out of the darkness.

"You came?"

The tone was unnecessarily unhappy, and it was more of a reproach than a greeting.

"Are you not dead?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, and with his weird expression, Mitarai believed that the other person was most likely telling the truth.

"You look so sorry?!"

"No."

"Really?"

"Yeah! Really."

"Stop lying, it must be fake."

"Hey, it's obviously true. By the way, why do you think I'm a liar?"

Strangely, it developed into a confrontational conversation. By the time Mitarai realized something was wrong, he had lost the best reason to continue to cause trouble for the other party.

"Anyway, you almost killed us."

"Aren't you okay?"

Faced with Mitarai who still wanted to cause trouble for him even if he held on, Touya replied calmly.

"Damn it, you're so mad at me, you guy!"

"Anything gained?"

Mitarai wanted to vent but was interrupted by the voice of a girl on the side. Hyuga Yuki, who spoke in a bad tone, looked at Touya who was sitting next to Mitarai with a look that made people dodge.

"Well, it seems a bit complicated and troublesome to explain."

Dong Ye, who had deep eyes, looked a little gloomy because of the news.

"The other party's identity? He should be a ninja."

All three of them realized that the other party's purpose was more to kill them directly than to rob the caravan.

Moreover, the method of fighting was first a wave of long-range ninja tools thrown, followed by a very fast approach and assassination. The crisp and concise actions were not unfamiliar to Touye and the other three.

"Yes."

"But they are not ninjas from the Ninja Village. They are basically wandering ninjas."

I can understand Hinata Yuki's thoughts. When it comes to ninjas, the first thing that comes to mind is other ninja villages, which is inevitable for Konoha ninjas.

"I captured some prisoners and roughly figured out their purpose."

Touya's Ippa-ryu ninjutsu were basically C-level or above, and the shadow clones scattered were all ninjutsus that were completed simultaneously in an instant, so it caused huge damage, and more than twenty people were directly destroyed.

There were only a few guys who survived by chance. As for those who tried to escape, Dongye subdued them without using much effort.

"In this case, who are they?"

"You wouldn't want to know."

Mitarai suddenly interrupted, probably just asking a question subconsciously, and received a somewhat revealing answer from Touya. In other words, even though he was not smiling, why did he seem to see a smile in his eyes.

terrible!

What a horrible guy!

"So, did you get any information from them?"

"Well, tell me everything you need to know."

"Would they be so kind?"

Mitarai found it hard to believe, not only because he had no good feelings towards the person who wanted to kill him, but in the real sense, it was Touya who posed a threat to their lives.

What's more important is that ninjas value intelligence and missions more than their lives, and they cannot surrender without resistance.

"I used a little bit of negotiation skills."

"So, I believe what they're saying is true."

It was while Hinata Yuki and Mitarai were busy that he used some tricks to complete the interrogation of the prisoners.

Really, just a little bit of trickery!

"They are black market killers and have accepted black market tasks and bounty tasks."
