Leaf Ninja Life

Chapter 359 The reason
Nakayoshi kept patting the back of the albatross to make it fly as fast as possible,
Unexpectedly, Xiuyi has already caught up with them, and will intercept them in the air soon.

He didn't see a small black spot approaching quickly below, but even a ninja could detect the strong chakra fluctuation.

Nakayoshi, who noticed the abnormality, suddenly widened his eyes and looked down in shock. In his vision, Shuichi was flying in the air as if he was walking on flat ground, and he could fly up without the help of anything.

"how is this possible!?"

Purple Aurora, as Konoha's signature character in recent years, is also the main enemy who defeated Wuyin Village on the battlefield. The village has never relaxed in collecting information about him.

The opponent's flying ability should be to summon special birds by secret technique. It stands to reason that it is difficult to catch up with a living ninja at that speed.

But at this time he didn't use the secret technique, so could this flying ability be a hidden trump card?

The experienced Zhongji was a little flustered, but his strong desire to survive made him struggle and resist immediately.

"Wind Escape·Cannonball!"

After being careful with the mudra, at the same time, attach the chakra to the soles of the feet to stand firm, and follow the albatross to lift up obliquely,

Then he turned his head, and continuously spit out strong wind bombs visible to the naked eye towards the bottom, and smashed directly at the top of Xiuyi's head.

Xiuyi smiled contemptuously, this person's wind escape is quite good, so he decided to give him a little face,
Control the magnetic escape to sway left and right to dodge the wind ball, and all attacks miss him, the effect is only to slightly delay the upward momentum.

Seeing that one person and one bird still wanted to slip away, Xiuyi immediately shot Qianben after completing the dodge, and then launched Flying Thunder God to get closer.
Raise one finger and point it upwards, and the fingertips shoot out a straight line of lightning, "Thunderbolt·Thunderblade!"

puff--

The slender beam of light instantly penetrated Hainiao and Zhongyoshi, and the strong paralyzing effect made them lose control of their figures.

The albatross whimpered, a large gash was cut in its abdomen, and the strong wind in the sky cut the blood from the wound like a knife, and suddenly fell to the ground under unbearable pain.

Zhongji was about to be thrown away by the shaking, and he only relied on his instinctive chakra skills to absorb and stand firm.
And Xiuyi will not let him die directly, this person must know a lot of secrets, and after being captured alive, he will definitely be able to interrogate a lot of information.

Then another thousand copies flew in, and when it hit accurately, a figure flashed out, and the palm knife slashed at the back of Zhongji's head, knocking him out.

Then use the steel wire to trap the falling person and pull it back, and in a few breaths, he has completed the capture of the upper ninja alive.

Nakayoshi deserved to be so unlucky that he happened to run into a monster like Xiuyi despite being so fully prepared.

If Konoha sent other ninjas, they might not be able to catch up with the albatross' speed in the complex rainforest terrain, and there was nothing they could do to keep up.

Seeing the big bird thumping and falling, Xiuyi thought for a while, not planning to dispose of it,

Because this is a species unique to the country of water, if someone finds out, it will only be related to Kirigin, and it has nothing to do with Konoha.

Lifting the unconscious Nakayoshi in his hand, he returned to the explosion cave as quickly as possible.

There is a super big pit in the ground here, and a huge stone fist stands proudly in the center. It is Xiuyi's masterpiece created by using earth escape ninjutsu, and it can't dissipate for a while.

Swish!
Jumping onto his fist of earth, sucking away the remaining chakra inside, the stone pillar quickly melted down,
Zhishui, Qiuye, and Itachi are all in the pit. After the battle broke out, the team will naturally move closer to this side. Now they need to discuss how to proceed next.

"I caught this guy, how many people are still alive here?" Xiuyi put Zhongji down and asked.

Zhishui replied a little embarrassedly: "There are only two survivors, and I didn't catch the leader..."

Knowing that he would be doomed, Yutian took the initiative to find a big rock to commit suicide when the cave collapsed. His head was smashed into pieces, and he died like a ninja, bringing the secret into the ground.

In order to ensure the safety of Miyazaki, Shisui did not have time to take him down. The remaining two were samurai standing on the edge at that time, and escaped by Shuichi's ninjutsu.

When Xiuyi went to pursue him, Zhishui had already finished interrogating them for information.

This group of people are homeless people who have been active in the country of tea for a long time. More than a month ago, Yutian recruited them with a lot of money and sneaked into the cave of the country of tea with the kidnapped Miyazaki. The name is Huangsha Tuan,

But the samurai didn't know much about these things, they followed Yutian only for money, and they stayed underground for a long time for no reason.

"It seems that the masterminds are these two people, and the configuration adopts a bright and dark layout." Xiuyi pointed at Zhongji and gestured, "This time the other party is well prepared. If we don't come in the first time, the enemy is likely to Prepare a killing move against our intelligence."

"Whether it's hiding more experts in ambush, or arranging a sophisticated layout to attract sand hidden, the investigation team will definitely fall into the quagmire and be played like a monkey by the other party..."

After a few people thought about it, it was true. After all, Jōnin is not a vegetarian. If it weren't for a top expert like Xiuyi, this task would be extremely troublesome.

"The commotion just now was too great, and there may be a Sand Hidden Team coming soon." Hinata Akiba slightly frowned,
I have partnered with Xiuyi for many years, and under the influence of his thinking, I have explored many exclusive abilities, such as using supercilious shorthand to record terrain, establishing a special coordinate system to analyze the enemy's movements, etc.

The sand ninjas I almost encountered before, the overall course of action is more like a patrol than a mission, so the abnormal situation here will be discovered sooner or later.

"This is certain, so we have to hurry up!" Xiu said to Zhishui: "Let's do it together, try to figure out the cause and effect as much as possible, and I will control him to cooperate with your Sharingan illusion."

"Understood!" Zhishui's eyes kept spinning with three hooks, and immediately after Xiuyi woke Zhongji up, he began to torture: "Who are you? Where are you from?"

"... Kirigakure Murakami Nakayoshi, good at wind escape and water escape..."

really!

The four Konohas were moved in their hearts. Now it is almost certain that the culprit is the Kingdom of Water, so did the Kingdom of Wind participate in it?
"Why did you attack Konoha Ninja? Also, why did you kidnap the wife of the mayor of Matsuyama Castle? What's hidden in it?" Xiuyi pressed the opponent's head and squinted his eyes.

"Because the village discovered important...resources, but Konoha had a team of Anbu who happened to be there at the time, so we had to kill them to keep it secret..." Zhongyoshi seemed to be in some pain, and replied with blank eyes.

"What resources?" Everyone became serious, and the key point came.

"A forest of seven... seven-star trees."

The faces of Xiuyi and the others changed, and their expressions were extremely serious. They didn't expect the matter to be so serious.

The Seven Star Tree is a special tree that can absorb Chakra to grow. For Ninja Village, it is a strategic resource that is more precious than gold.

This kind of tree is too important for ninjas. A series of ninja essential props such as detonating charms, seal scrolls, and chakra test papers all need this material to make, which can greatly increase the average combat effectiveness of ninja villages.
Although this is for the small ninja village where ninjutsu is scarce, it is impossible for the big ninja village to let go of such precious materials.

As the next Hokage candidate, Xiuyi knows more secrets. Konoha holds two seven-star tree plantations in his hands. It is quite tight for so many ninjas in the village to use them together.
This can be seen from the selling prices of detonating symbols and chakra test strips. Generally, Chunin who can carry two to three storage scrolls are relatively rich.Of course... Except for the rich woman in Future Tiantian.

If Konoha controls more of the production area of ​​the Seven Star Tree, the price of these ninja tools will definitely drop a bit, which is definitely good news for the majority of civilian ninjas, and their survivability will be greatly improved.

Xiuyi immediately asked: "Where is the Seven Star Tree?"

"About 200 kilometers northwest of Songshan City..."

This is the territory of their country of fire!In other words, Kirigakure is secretly stealing his own resources, and at the same time he doesn't want Konoha to find out...

After continuous torture of Zhongji, they finally knew the cause and effect of the incident.

After Kirigakure accidentally discovered the Seven Star Tree and killed Konoha Anbu, he was worried that Konoha's follow-up search team would find that place, so he tried his best to divert attention.

When sending someone back to the country of water to ask for help, Kirin immediately tied Miyazaki to the country of tea, and came to the battlefield where he had previously fought against sand hidden.
Then kill Konoha's Jonin team through an ambush pit, making Konoha think that both Anbe and Nakagawa Jonin happened in the country of tea,
This will divert attention from the area of ​​the Seven Star Tree, and it will be even more beneficial to Kirigakure when there is a conflict with Sagashi in the follow-up search.

"It's really insidious enough. If I didn't do it myself, I would have been stolen." Xiuyi thought with a gloomy expression.

Then he immediately slit his fingers and pulled out the bleeding marks, Hai-xu-you-shen-wei, "Psychic art!"

Boom——

A somewhat confused Kotaro appeared in the field. Why did he suddenly change places while eating bugs in the garden?
It didn't realize until it saw Xiuyi scribbling on the ground. It turned out that this was the effect of the psychic contract. Shouldn't it be Itachi or Baigen who needed his help in the fight?

"Xiuyi! You called me out..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Shuu tied up the scroll and stuffed it into Kotaro's mouth, interrupting its muttering directly, "You cancel the psychic immediately and return, and then hand over the information to the Third Hokage, immediately!"

Kotaro: "..."

After coming to Konoha, it learned a lot of chakra skills, and finally signed a contract a while ago. It thought that the first summoning would show its power, but it was just a messenger...
