A Wishing Konoha Ninja

The eastern woods of the Land of Fire.

The three Mist Ninjas stared at each other silently for a while. The Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon was the first to speak: "If they don't arrive at the meeting point on time, I will never wait for them."

Orochimaru nodded and agreed: "Of course, I also hope to return to the village soon."

The Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Ghost didn't seem to care much about the other three, and did not continue to ask questions in this regard. Instead, he extended his right hand to Sakonji Orochimaru and ordered: "Give me the information."

"Master Blowfish Ghost, I'm sorry to have to obey you." Orochimaru suddenly took a step back, with a look of deep vigilance in his eyes, and said: "We will hand over the information only after we safely arrive at Kirigakure Village."

"Are you trying to disobey my order?" The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost suddenly widened his eyes, and at the same time, he exuded a terrifying power.

"My subordinates don't dare. We just want to ensure our own safety."

As if they couldn't bear the opponent's momentum, Sakonji Orochimaru and Giyu Kazami-nin took another step back in unison.

The three people present knew very well what kind of behavior the Kirigakure ninjas had.

Do you think that after getting the information he wants, the Watermelon Mountain Blowfish Ghost will slice up Orochimaru and Kazami Shinobu, and then return to the Kingdom of Water alone?

I guess everyone knows this answer.

Perhaps some Kirigakure spies had stayed outside for so long that they had completely forgotten to be vigilant about the ninjas in the same village, and would have ended up losing their lives.

"Master Pufferfish, there is something I forgot to tell you." Orochimaru slapped his head with his right hand and added: "There is a small device on that piece of information that will start to self-destruct when I die. This is also done to protect this information.”

"you"

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost was so angry that he could not speak. After a while, his mood gradually calmed down, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly:

"I promise that I will bring you two back to the village intact. This is my promise as the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost."

After returning to Kirigakure Village, I will slowly make you two idiots.

"Thank you, Mr. Pufferfish Ghost."

After receiving the other party's assurance, Orochimaru seemed to be relieved and immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

If the other party pays more in this mission, it will be easier to believe the authenticity of this information after completing the mission.

Although Orochimaru doesn't know what a sunk cost is, it doesn't prevent him from knowing one thing, that is, most people are always more concerned about the price they have paid.

The three mist ninjas waited in the woods for another half hour.

Of course, no new Mist Ninja appeared.

Seeing that the appointed time was about to pass, the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Ghost sitting on a rock immediately stood up and said impatiently: "Since they didn't show up on time, we set off now and can't wait unnecessarily."

"Copy that." Orochimaru and Kazami Shinobu replied in unison.

The three of them quickly cleaned up the traces left on the spot, and then ran towards the coast.

The two people following the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost communicated silently using hidden sign language.

Kazami Shinobu: When did those Konoha ANBU catch up to us? We are not far from the sea now.

Orochimaru: Don't worry, I've left enough clues for them.

After the three of them ran some distance again, they seemed to be able to faintly hear the sound of some inaudible waves.

It was estimated that as long as they walked out of this vast sea of ​​trees, they would be able to see the sea.

"shhhhhh"

At this moment, a rapid sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from the air.

As one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon noticed the enemy's attack almost immediately, and he immediately shouted: "Disperse"

Dozens of kunai came to the three people's original positions in an instant, and some kunai still had detonating talismans attached to them.

"Boom"

There were frequent explosions in the woods, and a large amount of black smoke was produced.

The thick smoke was quickly blown away by the sea breeze, allowing the three watermelon mountain puffer ghosts to see clearly the identity of their opponents.

I saw four teams with a total of twelve Konoha ANBU ninjas wearing various animal masks standing on the treetops overlooking the three enemies below.

At this time, a dog-masked ANBU ninja said coldly:

"You have been surrounded. If you give up resistance or there is still a chance of survival, you will end up like these three people."

A black sack suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of Fugu Demon, Orochimaru and Kazami Shinobu.

The black bag fell to the ground with a thud and spread out automatically, rolling out three bloody objects.

It was the heads of the other three Mist Ninja spies who failed to arrive at the meeting point on time.

Seeing his captain's move to frighten the enemy, several Konoha ANBU standing behind him began to whisper:

"Captain Kinki, isn't he a little too cool?"

"Yes, yes, the one below must be one of Kirigakure's seven ninja swordsmen. How could he surrender?"

"Leave that super-powerful fog ninja to the captain, and we'll just deal with the other two weaklings."

The whispers of his subordinates drifted through his ears, and Konoha ANBU squad leader Kinki felt like he was about to burst a blood vessel. You fools don't understand how difficult it is for me to be the captain.

Don't look at the majestic appearance of the dark force captain just now, as if he didn't pay attention to the enemy. In fact, it was all pretending. Now he was in complete confusion.

The reason was what the Sandaime-sama said to him when he handed over the mission.

"Kinki, an extremely important piece of information in the village has been stolen by Kirigakure's spies. You immediately lead four teams to catch up with them. You must not let the information fall into the hands of Kirigakure."

"receive."

"There is no need to capture those mist ninjas alive after catching up with them. They will be killed without mercy. All traces will be destroyed on the spot."

"clear."

"However, considering that there should be very, very, very powerful fog ninjas in the mission, if you find that nothing can be done in the end, I specifically allow you to give up the mission this time."

""

Kinki: Actually, Sandaime, you don’t need to emphasize the strength of the enemy so many times.

Sandaime: Say important things three times.

Relying on the intuition cultivated by his years of ANBU career, Kinki vaguely felt that there was something behind the Hokage's words, and this mission did not seem to be as simple as it appeared.

Should we recover the information this time or not?

Kinki, who had not yet figured it out, followed the clues provided by the Sandaime and first caught up with the three Kiri Ninja Hosaku, but the situation at that time was a bit strange.

The other party didn't resist at all, and just slept soundly in the hotel without any precautions. There was even a note in the bag with the meeting place written on it.

Kinki: I have never seen such a cooperative enemy.

After capturing the three men effortlessly, they continued their mission and followed the clues and traces left by the other party to chase them all the way here.

Could it be that the three mist ninjas in front of him are the "very, very, very" powerful enemies that the Hokage said.

Although I admit that Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen are indeed more powerful, there are twelve of us here, so we can't lose no matter how we think about it.

If I capture these three fog ninjas here, will it affect the Sandaime-sama's plans?

Ah, who can tell me what should I do?

Can everyone cease fighting temporarily and wait here while I go back to ask for instructions from Hokage-sama?

In just a short moment, Kinki, who had countless thoughts running through his mind, suddenly heard the exclamation of his subordinates.

"Captain, those three mist ninjas are going to run away."
