Konoha no Deman Rope Tree

Chapter 28 028. Encountering the Puppet Master
The candle was flickering, and the dim light could only illuminate the silhouette of the person behind the table, but no face could be seen.

"Is there any news from Mao?"

Tapping the table with his fingertips, the voice of the person hidden outside the candlelight was chilling.

As soon as he finished speaking, a half-kneeling ninja appeared in front of him, "I tell you, the Mao Squad has been wiped out!"

"Oh? This trash has already handed over the patrol route map to him, yet he still fails!"

"My lord, Mao was not found by the patrol team. There is reliable information. When the patrol team arrived, the Mao team had been wiped out!"

Hearing the report from his subordinates, the adult who was hiding outside the candlelight was a little surprised, and he leaned forward slightly, showing a stern face.

It was Hokage's assistant, Shimura Danzo.

"Is it mentioned in the intelligence who killed them? Could it be Sakumo?" Danzo was a little suspicious of Una's trash, and ignored his order. The commotion was too loud, and Hatake Sakumo got rid of it.

"That's not the case. Please report that when the patrol team arrived, there was only Nakoki on the scene. It is inferred that Naoki alone solved the Mao team!"

Danzo was slightly surprised when he heard that it was a rope tree, which he had never thought of.

The whole person leaned back again, and once again disappeared into the darkness.

The kneeling ninja reported again: "In addition, the eyeliner deduced from the scene and the corpses of the U team that Naoki killed them with Hatake swordsmanship!"

Hearing this news, Danzo couldn't sit still any longer, and stood up abruptly, with cold killing intent in his eyes.

One Hatake Sakumo is enough to give him a headache, if there is another "White Fang" from the Senju clan, his Hokage dream will be even more impossible to realize.

"Command down, send Zi Chouyin's three teams to the battlefield with the Kingdom of the Wind, keep an eye on Zhishu, and get rid of him whenever you have a chance!"

"Yes!"

His subordinates led away, Danzo looked at the flickering candles, snorted coldly, and left the room.

On this day, Naoki did not continue to practice, but led a team of Konoha ninjas to investigate the defense line of Shayin Village.

"Disperse!"

With an order, the Konoha ninjas scattered and went to different directions to check.

Seeing that everyone was leaving separately, Shengshu moved towards the Shayin camp.

At first, everything went well, easily dodged all the secret whistles, and Shengshu came to the camp of Shayin Village.

The rope tree stood on a branch of a tall tree, looking carefully at the information inside the Shayin Village camp.

"Crack!" Just as the rope tree jumped to a branch closer to the camp, and wanted to check the situation more clearly, he stepped on a trap.

This was a trap made by a puppet. Due to the excellent camouflage, it almost merged with the tree. The rope tree was caught without checking for a while.

He was hugged by the puppet and locked in place.

"Oh, I thought I caught a big guy, but I didn't expect it was just a stinky brat!"

A guy in a khaki jonin vest was on another tree, looking down at the rope tree, and said disdainfully.

"Hehe, do you think you can control me with just such a wooden thing?" Zhishu felt that the ninjas in Shayin Village were always arrogant, and with this level of control, he thought he was sure to win.

"Oh? Do you think so? It's such a pity, you can only go here!" Hikaru Kimura looked at Naoki with a trace of pity in his eyes.

Seeing Kimura Hikaru's eyes, Naoki became angry, give you some sunshine and you will still be brilliant!
Gathering the explosive escape chakra with both arms, with a light drink, the puppet that trapped him was shattered.

Freed from the control, Shengshu directly pulled out the night owl on his back, making this idiot who underestimated him pay the price.

However, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he almost fainted. He managed to stabilize his body with the night owl stuck on the branch.

"I am?"

"Heh, the fledgling Konoha ninja dared to come to the camp of Hidden Sand Village to investigate rashly. He really wanted to die! Didn't your teacher teach you to be careful when facing the puppet master?"

Hikaru Kimura curled his lips, and became more and more disdainful towards Naoki.

In his opinion, the most indispensable thing on the battlefield is a war rookie like Naoki, who is reckless and thinks he is playing a ninja game, without understanding the cruelty of being a ninja at all.

When encountering such ninjas, what he likes most is to teach them a lesson, torment these novices in their remorse, listen to their painful wailing, and brutally kill them.

His state of mind is almost the same as that of some veterans in online games who like to educate and torture novices to obtain happiness.

However, he joked and ridiculed, but did not return Naoshu's half reaction.

"Hehe, kid, why don't you beg for mercy like me, are you already desperate?"

Facing Kimura Hikaru's cynicism, Naoki laughed out loud, "You are very confident in your poison!"

"Hmph, you're still laughing out loud when you're about to die. I don't like you very much, so I've decided to send you to die right now!"

As he spoke, he controlled another puppet holding a sharp sword to fly towards the rope tree.

Seeing that Kimura Hikaru didn't do it himself, Naoki was a little surprised. Are you still so vigilant at this time?No wonder he can still live till now with so many words.

"Pfft!" The puppet's sharp sword easily penetrated Naoshu's body, and Naoshu quickly died in cooperation.

Seeing that the rope tree was dead, Kimura Hikaru was relieved and jumped to the branch where the rope tree was. He had noticed the short knife Ye Xiao in the rope tree's hand just now, and he knew it was a rare and good knife. He wanted to come and take it away, but he was only afraid of Shengshu's counterattack when he died, so he endured until now.

After controlling the puppet, Kimura Guang glanced at Ye Xiao greedily, and quickly reached out to take it.

However, at this moment, Zhishu's voice sounded next to his ears, "Hehe, it is not allowed to do things without the owner's permission!"

Hikaru Kimura subconsciously jumped back quickly, not forgetting to control the puppet in front of him in the air, in case Naoki's ninjutsu or shuriken attack.

Some operations can be described as textbook-level, but unfortunately, what he encountered was a rope tree. If he encounters someone else, he is really likely to escape.

Burst shooting starts, compresses chakra, attaches, swings the knife, activates chakra, all in one go.

Ye Xiao's black blade slashed on the long sword in Kimura Hikko's hand with a clang, making a crisp sound.

Hikaru Kimura rejoiced secretly, this kid was so sinister, he actually faked his death to lie to me, fortunately he was naturally alert, otherwise it would be here.

However, just as he was overjoyed, the puppet in front of him split into two halves with a crash.

At the same time, he felt a cold and insubstantial sharp thing passing through his body.

"This is."

He suddenly thought of a figure that frightened him, with white hair and a white short knife, overlapping with this brown boy at this moment, Hatake Wood Sword Skill!
Unfortunately, he found out too late.
