Playing as Passerby A from Naruto

"Didn't you find him?"

Several Kusagakure ministers looked ugly.

After such a long time, their people brought back the corpses belonging to their companions, without any other useful information.

This is naturally unacceptable.

"We kept searching along the forest outside the village, but found no whereabouts of Qianchuan. He is very cautious and good at hiding himself."

A grass ninja lowered his head and said.

"Don't the Security Department have several sensory units? Try pulling them out?"

Kazuya Kuchi interjected, and he looked to the side at Kazuma Otai.

The Defense Department and their Armed Forces Department have a lot of overlap, but one is for external affairs and the other is for internal affairs, and their emphasis is slightly different.

"Do you still need to tell me? My people participated in the search early on, but the guy seemed to be deliberately misleading us, so nothing was found."

Kazuma Akai snorted coldly, and then motioned the ninja who had just replied to go out, and several of their ministers were left in the conference room again.

"Then what should we do now? Have you also seen the corpses that were brought back? Can wounds like that really be done by humans?"

Minehara Daiki's eyes flickered and kept looking at the other people, the expression on his face was indescribably serious.

"That guy...what's going on?!"

Thinking of the pieces of meat he had just seen, Kazuya Kuchi slammed his fist on the table, and his whole face was filled with a layer of gloom.

"That's why we have to bring him back. That kind of strength growth rate is really astonishing. And judging from his attitude, he obviously doesn't have a good impression of our Kusagakure. Not only did he attack Ikeda at the beginning, but he also killed him afterward. killed our people."

Kazuma Akai was quite calm, and he calmly analyzed some of his opinions.

"We must catch him. He must not be allowed to continue to wander outside. He has bad thoughts towards us and still possesses considerable strength. He must be killed at this stage. Otherwise, according to his previous growth in strength, Even with the speed, we Kusagakure might not be able to kill him alone!"

Minehara Daiki kept tapping his fingers on the table, and gradually regained his composure, no longer as impatient as before.

"But the problem now is that we have lost track of him. The guy is very familiar with our tracking methods, plus he has some weird abilities that we don't know about. After he leaves the nearby area, it is like water dripping into the sea, making it difficult to find traces. .”

Kuchi Kazuya clasped his hands together, leaned his body on the chair, and said.

"Intensify your efforts! In addition to the necessary defensive strength, we need to expand the scope of the search. We must find him in a short time, otherwise there will be endless trouble!"

"I agree!"

"Seconded!"

"Ok!"

The ANBU minister finally nodded his head, his expression looking very cold, but his flashing eyes still revealed his anger at this time.

Every ninja in ANBU is an elite, and they are all ninjas he has carefully trained. However, he lost several in the pursuit not long ago, and they were all dead, and they were packed together like rotten meat. return.

The internal rhythm of Kusagakure was interrupted by the sudden incident of Qianchuan rebelling against the village.

Several ministers who had never gotten along before, and even had obvious conflicts with each other, helped each other take action at this time.

Naturally, their only purpose was to bring Qianchuan back. In view of the danger level of the other party, they also changed from capturing him alive to whether he lived or died.

Combining the traces of the previous battle between Chikawa and Ikeda Shotaro and the various marks on the corpse brought back by the ninja, Kusagakure has determined that Chikawa must have acquired some kind of incredible ninjutsu, so he was able to grow in a short period of time. To this point.

Time flew by and two days passed like this.

I thought that mobilizing the power of the whole village could bring the opponent back quickly.

But it was obvious that everyone in Kusanagi overestimated themselves and underestimated the ninja named Qianchuan.

Of course, mobilizing the power of the whole village was indeed effective. In two days, they encountered the fleeing Qianchuan several times. However, every time they encountered it, Kusakaku's combat power was not in place, so they were not able to keep the target behind. , but suffered extremely serious injuries in several encounters.

Two jounin were seriously injured and more than a dozen chuunin were killed.

Such casualty figures have reached wartime levels for Kusanagi.

Kusagakure is not big, and because of the scarcity of resources, it is a bit harsh and long for them to train a qualified ninja.

Naturally, every ninja is their valuable asset, not to mention that this pursuit team is still full of chunin and jounin.

But the more this happens, the more senior people in Kusanagi become.

They seemed to be red-eyed and gritted their teeth to find the fleeing Qianchuan and capture him back to the village.

And the several encounters were not without any gains. At least Kusakure also knew some of Qianchuan's methods.

I thought it was some shocking ninjutsu that could make Qianchuan grow to that point in a short period of time, but according to the jounin who had fought with the opponent and was seriously injured, Qianchuan seemed to have mastered a secret technique that could make his body Make many weird changes to achieve the purpose of improving combat effectiveness.

It's like several different species are stuffed into the human body, and all aspects are visibly improved, reaching an inhuman level.

Several Kusakure ministers were naturally interested in such secret techniques, but they calmed down a lot after learning some of the situation.

That Qianchuan's state seemed to be very wrong. Perhaps it was because of the secret technique that he was a little confused. Once he entered the fighting state, he became very violent.

Therefore, their initial enthusiasm for Qianchuan's method of becoming stronger gradually became calmer.

However, that secret technique is still something they are very coveted.

Although the side effects are serious, they don't need it themselves, but others can still use it. This kind of quick ninja combat power is still useful at some critical moments.

Of course, the premise of everything is to bring that Qianchuan back.

The follow-up disposal issues are not urgent. These are just the intelligence collected after several encounters and are not the final conclusion.

So, on the morning of the third day.

Kazuya, the Minister of Armed Forces, could not bear to sit in the village and wait.

He left the village with a few of his cronies.

This behavior was naturally because he wanted to capture the ninja as soon as possible and end this farce!

The other ministers obviously did not stop him. Now he really needed a strong ninja to attack. Since the other party took the initiative to leave the village, they naturally didn't say much.

Inside the hotel.

Shi Yuan, who hadn't left the hotel for several days, gradually lost his patience.

If Kusanagi hadn't been considered a good ally of Konoha, he would have turned against him a day ago.

Although I have been confined here for a long time, although I have good food and drink, I naturally feel unhappy as time goes by.

Shi Yuan felt that he had already given enough face to Cao Yin.

He pushed open the door and walked outside.

As soon as he moved his legs, he noticed several ninjas rushing towards him not far away and landed in front of him.

"Jōnin Tokimoto, do you have any orders?"

The leading ninja looked at Shiyuan. He was Yudai Ubii who had received Shiyuan before. He was a jounin of the defense department.

"I want to go for a walk!"

Shi Yuan glanced at them, then ignored them, raised his legs and planned to continue walking outside.

"Jōnin Tokigen, this is against the rules. As you know, something happened in Kusagakure, so the danger alert has not been lifted yet."

Bijing Yuda took a step sideways to block Shi Yuan.

This was the order given to them by Minister Akai Kazuma before, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet at this time.

After all, once such words are spoken, it will obviously affect the relationship between the two parties.

"Oh?"

Shiyuan looked at the ninja blocking him, and then saw from the corner of his eye that several other grass ninjas were also blocking him, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Did you misunderstand what I said?"

He said softly, the smile on his face remained unchanged and seemed to be still so gentle, but involuntarily, several ninjas led by Yudai Bii felt that the atmosphere around them had changed, and the air seemed to become heavier.

"Jōnin Tokigen, we are too..."

boom--

Before he finished speaking, Yuudai Bijing felt as if he had lost control of his body and froze in place.

Then there was another violent sound in his ears.

"I am a jounin of Konoha. You have no right to restrict my freedom. I also understand what happened to you Kusagakure, but my patience is limited. So, now I want to go out for a walk. What else do you want to say? Say, or you can go back and tell Minister Tianjing, after all, I am just informing you!"

The melting force on the right hand kept rising and falling, and the fist rubbed the opponent's ear and fell into the air. Then the powerful chakra and impact force fell directly to the ground behind the opponent, leaving an exaggerated crack, just like the trace left by an explosion. generally.

Approaching the opponent, Shi Yuan spoke lightly, and then retracted his fist.

After the melting effect subsided, he straightened out the wrinkled clothes on the opponent's shoulder with his hands, and finally patted the opponent's shoulder.

Continuing to move forward, this time, Bijing Yuuda did not stop him, and even took the initiative to make way for Shiyuan to pass.

"team leader!?"

Several ninjas who were standing to the side and did not look directly at Shiyuan whispered to Yudai Bii after Shiyuan left.

Because they noticed that Dobei Yuudai didn't seem to have recovered from the previous state, and he didn't even continue to block Shi Yuan from leaving, which obviously violated the instructions they received.

"Just let him leave like this?"

A ninja said, but he did not rush past Yuudai Bijing to stop Shiyuan.

At that moment, they only felt their eyes blur and then the ground exploded, so they didn't have a good understanding of Shi Yuan's strength.

Maybe this Tokiyuan is really strong, but this is Kusagakure, and the ninjas of Konoha have to obey their orders when they enter here, right?

"if not?"

Bijing Yudai finally came to his senses. He turned around and looked at Shiyuan's back, which was about to disappear at the end of the street. His face looked extremely pale, and then he asked the subordinate who had just asked him.

"I didn't believe that guy could defeat the Raikage at first, but just now, I was convinced of the news!"

"I can't even react to just one punch. Even the minister doesn't have such strength! So, don't I get out of the way and continue to stand there and let him beat me to death?"

With lingering fear, he continued to say two sentences.

"Ok."

The ninja who just spoke lowered his head and did not continue to refute.

Because Shi Yuan didn't actually explode with his own momentum when he took action. It was like a mediocre punch. It didn't even have half the speed and power of the battle, and the target was only in front of him. Yuudai Bijing is a person.

Therefore, except for Yuudai Bei, everyone else only thinks that Shiyuan is strong, but it is not too exaggerated.

But as someone who was targeted by Shiyuan's aura, Yudai Bii's experience and theirs were completely different concepts.

Maybe it only takes one punch and he will die?

He became a Jonin when he was about 20 years old. He felt that he was already very strong, so when he met Shiyuan for the first time, he deliberately released some provocative intentions. Now that he thinks about it, it is really ridiculous.

"Go back, it seems our mission is over!"

Bijing Yudai retracted his gaze from Shiyuan, and then looked upstairs at the hotel.

Then, he saw three looks coming over, which were the other three Konoha ninjas.

He quickly withdrew his gaze, but Yudai was still deeply impressed by one of the gazes, which came from Itachi Uchiha.

whoosh whoosh--

As he spoke, several ninjas jumped over from a distance.

Looking at the traces on the ground, they couldn't help but become nervous. One of them looked at Yudai Bii: "What happened here?"

In recent days, because of Qianchuan, the nerves of the ninjas in the entire village have been highly tense. So when they saw the traces of the battle, they couldn't help but think of the traitorous ninja who was still able to fight back despite being pursued by the whole village, so they thought it was the other party who had returned to the village. Somewhat suspicious.

"It's okay. We just did it accidentally. I will report it to the minister. You can continue patrolling!"

Bijing Yudai said, but the few ninjas who had just arrived were still a little suspicious.

But soon, they looked at the hotel with the door wide open and the figures leaning out of several windows upstairs, and they had a clearer guess in their minds.

"Okay then, please pay attention, we will continue our patrol."

The ninja then left with his companions.

Because of the incident involving the traitorous ninja, Kusagakure had to implement martial law, so the patrol mission was also very heavy.

"Senior was so powerful just now! Those grass ninjas didn't dare to speak, so they had no choice but to let senior leave."

After all the ninjas downstairs left, Tokuma said to the two companions beside him.

As he spoke, he punched the air, seemingly imitating Shi Yuan's punch just now.

"However, will this make Cao Yin unhappy? After all, this is their village, and there are still many inconveniences."

Muta and Itachi didn't speak, so Tokuma said something himself.

"It should be fine. Kusagakure can understand, and since the target is a senior, they must also understand."

Itachi looked out the window at Kusakuin Village, his eyes seeming to have seen the forest outside the village.

Strong strength seems to be the best way to express your attitude. Even if others are so unhappy, you will still endure the emotions in your heart and smile.

Just upstairs, he saw everything that happened, and also noticed the various emotional changes of the Kusagakure jounin, so he seemed to understand something in his heart.

It was similar to what Shisui said when he chatted with him last time, but this time he realized the benefits of this kind of thing more clearly.

"That's right, we were invited by Kusagakure, and the senior is so strong, Kusagakure had to endure it by himself in the end."

Tokuma nodded, agreeing with what Itachi just said, and a smile appeared on his face.

"By the way, Muta, have you got any new news about your insects?"

As soon as the conversation changed, Tokuma looked at Muta who had been silent.

"It's almost the same as before, except that a rebel ninja appeared in Kusagakure Village. He escaped from the village after attacking the medical director, and then seriously injured or killed the pursuing Kusanagi. So Kusagakure has now mobilized the entire village The forces are searching and pursuing each other."

"How strange! Just one rebel nin? A jounin? Even a jounin can't fight against a ninja village, right?"

Tokuma was confused and found it hard to believe.

"There should be other factors involved, but there is really only one rebel nin, and my bug only knows so much for now."

Muta continued to answer, and finally shrugged helplessly.

"Okay, it doesn't matter anyway, it has nothing to do with us, as long as it doesn't affect us."

"Ok!"

"Also, Senior Shiyuan just said that he plans to bid farewell to Kusanagi in advance. Is this possible? We have only completed less than half of the task of communicating."

Tokuma paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"I think senior may have other purposes." Itachi said softly as he looked away from the outside.

As soon as these words came out, the three of them were silent for a moment, and then exchanged glances with each other, as if they all thought of something.

Muta's bugs have brought back a lot of news from the outside in the past two days, so they naturally know the current difficulties Kusagakure is in pursuing the rebel ninja.
