[Hokage] Terukawa

This marlin is different from the previous ones.

When the familiar feeling of being bound and the sharp and fine tingling wounded my limbs again, I was keenly aware of the particularity of the thin rope in front of me——Chakra.

Just like I like to cover the surface of the ninja knife with a delicate and thin layer of water-attribute chakra, so that it naturally emits a beautiful silver-blue shimmer, the thin ropes that bind my hands and feet are also swaying in the drowsiness of dawn There was a faint cloud of white, as if it was a stardust quietly falling on this snowy day.

The chakra layer is arranged in a tight and orderly manner, definitely a familiar hand... It is correct not to underestimate this gangster, and it may be dangerous to confront multiple ninjas next.

I subconsciously moved the wrists of my hands that were tied together again, and as expected, I noticed that the coils of thin ropes were tightened a little bit, and the small metal pieces that formed the thin ropes were also closely connected and the edges and corners of the ropes were tightly connected. It was so sharp that it had already nipped into my flesh shallowly.

You can break free, this big man with yin and yang is not on guard against me right now, but...

"What are you looking at? Is it good-looking?" The owner of the thin rope hooked my neck and asked with a smile.

I lowered my head and acted strangely: "Your iron chain is different from those of the previous few people. It is actually shining? Why is that? Let me tell you something, it is quite beautiful."

The smiling, brainless brows were raised, and with a movement of the wrists on my shoulders, they pressed against my chin, making me look up.

...It can also close my motivation.

I smiled and recorded the facial features of him and the people around me, thinking about how to arrange for them to die when the time came, while he was looking at me carefully, as if I was not a person but a rare creature, for a long while Then he smacked his lips, turned his head and said to the people around him: "Although this kid doesn't look normal, he's really interesting. It's good if he can live for a few more days."

"As for the glowing chain," he said again in a lazy tone, "it's okay to tell you. Have you heard of Chakra? That's the biggest difference between ninjas and ordinary people, and I won't underestimate any people, but...those half-baked guys really aren't good enough for us."

"Oh, so you guys are ninjas! I've always been quite curious about you guys, but unfortunately I didn't have the chance to get in touch with them before, and I probably won't have one in the future."

I obeyed his tug and stumbled out of the room, but my tone was still brisk.

"In addition, I also heard that you can slap ten me to death with just one slap. Is this true?"

"I haven't done this, but I've done a lot of similar things, so I slap ten of you to death with one slap, even if it's not true now," his face moved closer to me, even though the smile hadn't faded , the inexplicable sense of oppression still rushed to me, "It can also be true."

— so you better be honest with me.

He almost wrote these words on his face.

The air was silent—after looking at each other for three seconds, I grinned and looked away.

The motive is unclear for the time being, and the information obtained is full of details...not now.

So he let go of my neck with satisfaction, pushed me from behind again, and said happily: "Okay, let's go, at least there are brothers to guide you, you don't have to worry about freezing to death somewhere unknown It's in the snow nest."

"So where are you taking me?" I asked.

"Of course I'm taking you to meet the leader, otherwise, where else do you want to go?" He greeted, and a few big men who had remained silent behind him rushed up, two in front and two behind—this is the escort of the ninja team The classic stance in captivity.They gathered me in the center quietly but orderly, like fingers loosely holding a bird caught in the palm.

"Because I lit a fire?"

"Maybe, maybe not, I've never been too lazy to figure out the mind of the superior." He didn't turn his head.

"...Then your leader lives on the top of the mountain?"

"Of course not, you don't need to know so much, why do you think so?"

"That's what the books say."

"Ah~ Then maybe I should congratulate you, you really made me laugh."

He sneered lazily.

"But there's no point in procrastinating with this kind of mental retardation, put away your cleverness and don't make yourself look like an idiot."

I glanced at the other people around me from the corner of my eye, but I accidentally met a pair of unusually cold eyes, and I couldn't help laughing "haha" twice.

Maybe the language is vague, maybe mixed with a lot of misleading, but it doesn't matter.From his words and deeds, I can extract at least two important pieces of information: First, his "leader" is not in a hurry to send me to die now.Second, he himself—at least on the surface, has no rebellious heart for the time being.

This means that even if he faintly senses something wrong with me before arriving at the destination, he will not kill me—provided that the strange feeling I bring to him is within his acceptable range.

This also shows that he has enough trust in the strength of the "leader".

There is plenty of space for maneuvering, and there is no better opportunity to inquire about information than this. The only regret is that I don't know how far the journey is, but it is always right to pick important questions first.

"Aren't you rebellious?"

I made a sound suddenly, and after I noticed their expressions, I widened my eyes and scanned for a week.

"Isn't this obvious? This level of discipline and division of labor is simply not something that untrained Ronin can do-don't forget that I used to be a noble, and the nobles have their own standards for selecting ninjas , and I happen to be the most pragmatic kind. I have a lot of experience on how to hire the highest quality ninjas at the lowest price."

As expected, there was no change in the footsteps of Renren who led the way. He just looked back at me with a curious face, then turned his head again, and then threw his tired voice far away:

"As expected of a nobleman, you can speak so grandly even if you don't have money," he said, "No wonder you are the only one who has survived to this day. Don't worry, your death should be much more dignified than your family's."

"..." I paused, sighed and said, "So you were just perfunctory to me just now."

"Really? Yes, so you noticed it, but so what?" He said perfunctorily, "Do people who are dying care about these trivial issues?"

"It's interesting to listen to it as a deathbed story... Just use your brain, and betrayal or not, nobles are not blind as employers, don't you wonder what nobles think?"

I was grinning, and without waiting for his reply, I started talking.

"Ninjas who really don't care about our thoughts will not betray at all, right? Because they don't care what the people they serve want to do, and what consequences it will bring--do things and get money, that's all. And I, the noble , the leader in this relationship, just need to pay enough rewards according to the agreement, and give them a little benefit that they can't get from other places at the right time... In this way, they will become my most loyal killing tool, Where to point and hit, never talk too much.

"It's not like I haven't seen rebellion and forbearance before," I smacked my lips. "The root cause is that most of them are just that their requirements have not been met, so they find other ways. Only a few of them are lucky enough to establish self-awareness and produce A little... well, thinking out of class, so they rebelled against the superiors by defecting."

The cold wind passed through the forest, blowing my hair flying in the wind. I looked up at the sky that was getting lighter and brighter, and felt a little unspeakable joy.

"Am I right? So which one do you belong to, and who do you belong to? I really don't know these silent gentlemen, but I think you—"

The moment the man suddenly turned his head and caught his gaze, my heart skipped a beat, and I thought inwardly: This is because I learned too much from the nobility, and ended up pissing me off?But I've obviously restrained myself!Moreover, this temptation is just a collection and a release, how can I say it is just a matter of rules, right?Why does he look like I stomped him into a minefield?

Thought wandered back and forth a few more times in his mind, but there was no such room for movement in the material world. Fortunately, although his killing intent was sharp and fierce, his body still stood in place without any movement.I decided on the second plan in the blink of an eye—my hands and feet are still bound by chains, if I use my hands and feet for a plan that suddenly gets out of control, I'm afraid I won't be able to close it for the rest of my life eye, so...

Fortunately, this place is located in the middle of the foothills, and there are no other gangsters or houses around, so there is no need to tie your hands and feet for the time being.

"Short-sighted insects dare to talk about will and loyalty in front of us..."

The man spoke in a cold and slow tone, but his words were very clear, as if he were gnashing his teeth.At the same time, he intersected his hands and began to change the handprints, but after only one handprint, the ten fingers hovered awkwardly in the air as if they were blocked, which made his complexion change drastically.

"Be careful--"

Why did a simple temptation step on his minefield?

"Will" and "loyalty"—these seem to be the key words that offend him, but ordinary rebellious people often sneer at them—well, I'm unlucky to run into someone who is allergic to common words. admit.

The news from the inquiry is news, the news from the interrogation is also news, the mission needs it, and it is not shabby.

The only and biggest problem is that I still don't have a clear grasp of their strength, but... if it's an explosive battle, these are not so important.

What should you do first when surrounded by enemies?

It is to break the encirclement.

I know very well that he is obviously no stranger, and a word of "be careful" is enough-it can be seen that he really cares about his companions, but it is a pity that I am stuck with their reaction time, and I will definitely not give them a quick response of opportunity.

Time is running out and opportunity is fleeting.At this juncture, I was too lazy to say a word to him, but the moment he realized something was wrong, I suddenly knelt down and lowered my body, clapping my hands on the ground!

instant!Earth Dungeon, Earth Flow Wall!

"You have a good literary talent, but you are good at swearing." I laughed. "If you want to survive, you have to use at least [-]% of this skill in a while."

The laughter was very soft, even if ninjas are always sharp, they probably wouldn't be able to hear it. Gein, while I was laughing, the hard frozen soil around me had already piled up more than three feet above the ground, with mud, ice, The snow clumps mingled and exploded from the ground in a chaotic, dirty cloud of dust.

The ground under their feet suddenly rose up with a huge earthquake—the rebel ninja team of unknown origin was momentarily shaken to stand still, and two of them reacted slowly and fell back directly.This can be said to be a remarkable achievement, but although I was smiling, I actually didn't dare to neglect it at all. The hard work of my mouth is the hard work of my mouth, and I still have to see the truth in my hands in the end.

The soles of my feet borrowed strength from the vibrating upward ground, and I tapped the surrounding earth wall to exert a little force, and my body leaped in the air deftly like a bobcat.

——Water Escape·Water Prison Technique!

After all, a snowy day is not a rainy day, and the cold air is not the soil that makes up the frozen soil. When the body cannot directly contact the substance corresponding to the escapism, the instant cast will become extremely difficult. There must be many key points that I have not yet learned. I can figure it out, but it is obviously not the time to practice ninjutsu.

Withstood the tingling pain from my wrist and ankle, my ten fingers were almost formed into afterimages, and the muscles moved the bones very skillfully and smoothly as if spontaneously. When the last "半" seal was formed, my body was still Falling, the turbulent but gentle water flow has gathered and wandered around me.

Although the four rebellious ninjas were caught off guard by Tuliubi, which ninja who has experienced the battlefield is not responsive and quick?Easy escape did not exist in my imagination, and it is indeed the case-when the water prison technique was finally printed, my wrists were cut and rolled by the fast-tightening hinge chains in a short period of time, and the ankles were cut. The situation cannot be seen for the time being, but it will not be very good in the end.

I have no doubts about the sharpness of the metal segments on the hinge, coupled with the consistent drag force of the rebels, if I don't deal with it well, I will probably be dragged back into their encirclement from the air like a ball, and then Then he fell to the ground and couldn't move because all the muscles in his limbs were broken by the hinges.

——It’s just that such a tragic ending also doesn’t fit my idea.

The water flowing around me swelled several times when the handprints were formed, and in the blink of an eye, it swelled into a huge water ball that circulated endlessly, and then——wrapped me firmly.

——Ninjutsu, anyway, as long as the control of Chakra is delicate and detailed enough, you can really play with the things you knead.

Therefore, using "prison" as a "shield" is simple and practical.

I don't want the muscles of my limbs to be cut off here and become useless, but is the water flow afraid of the cutting of the blade?

Due to the bound limbs, a simple drag can cause great disturbance to me, but which of the four of you dares to wrestle with the water?

As soon as my handprint changed, the water flow that constituted the water prison immediately centered on the place where the thin rope passed through, forming four huge whirlpools.

The tingling pain from the wrists and ankles suddenly eased, and the vortex blocked the pulling force, but I still felt that the suction of the vortex was not safe enough, so I used a large amount of chakra to simply and rudely strengthen the strength of the water layer in the vortex, and then ... Instant body!

Shunjutsu, as the name suggests, is a ninjutsu that makes the body move instantly.Its essence is to push the human body through the powerful thrust generated by the controlled Chakra replacement and Chakra explosion, so as to realize the ninjutsu of linear displacement at a speed that cannot be captured by the naked eye.The ingenious and skillful Blinking Technique can achieve visual effects similar to Minato's Flying Thunder God in a short distance, but the principles of the two are completely different - Flying Thunder God travels through space, while Blinking Body Technique is in the air. High-speed collision.

The purpose of blinking at this time is very clear-the enhanced version of the water prison will help me lock the penetrating hinges, so that I will not be further injured by exerting force, and the four hinges can be immobilized. Coupled with the high-speed displacement of the instant body technique, the four rebels probably only have two choices: let go, or the palms bloom.

In all fairness, from the time when the traitor showed his killing intent to me, to my sudden attack, and to the current situation, everything happened so fast that it was unimaginable.Probably just a few blinks of an eye?I don't know, but it is not easy to avoid the earth flow wall. If the current situation can be resolved smoothly... then I will admit it.

Enemies that cannot be dealt with by such a level of surprise attack, delaying time will not bring about a substantial turnaround.

As it turns out, I was right.

This time, the four rebels let go... I have to say, the reaction is quite fast,

I dragged the four hinges and stood lightly on the high treetops. With a glance, I caught a few spots of blood on the silvery ends of the hinges.

...It's a pity that I'm busy making seals, and my fingers are all afterimages and I can't see clearly, otherwise I would like to "caring" for the unlucky guy who didn't have time to let go.

Walk?still fight?

Can you get away?Can you beat it?What is the next goal?

My expression changed, but before I could make a decision, the counterattack of the four rebels had already come fiercely.

Once I dodged the wind blade that was coming towards my head in an instant, and I swung the tree to avoid the water column that was coming straight to my head. The hinge of my wrist cut out a bright silver leaf in the air, and with a sound of "chi", the raging flame was scattered and exploded into a blazing and bright spark, and then the strong wind suddenly blew up, attracting thousands of flame stars together Sweeping toward me, straight out of the air gorgeous flames.

Tsk, trouble.

The too bright light blade almost dazzled my eyes, my thoughts changed sharply, and I nailed it into the side rock wall with the hinge in my hand, and flew directly to avoid several flaming blades.

Immediately afterwards, he lifted his fingers, rolled his waist and abdomen, dragged four hinges that could not be said to be cumbersome or weapons, and fled straight to the desolate and silent dry forest on the high slope.

Strong light can't just dazzle my eyes, can it?There is no such reason in the world.

……

So, when the blazing lights went out, the four rebellious ninjas realized that in the blink of an eye, the damned noble who provoked them desperately... No, the ninjas had already run away without even a shadow.

However, in a hurry, no one can walk through the snow without a trace, especially when he chose the worst route - a dry forest that no normal person would want to go.

The place where he landed, the bleeding limbs, the hinges with temperature and blood... the snow will always drag his footsteps, leaving some traces for them to pursue.

That damn guy can't fly.

The former captain felt his limbs start to heat up, and a few thin beads of sweat ooze out of the skin covered with scars. The muscles and bones he thought had begun to rust creaked under the washing of hot blood, like a deserted factory Suddenly, the lamp was lit again, and the fire was lit. In this way, the warm light and roar filled its blood vessels again, urging its heart.

——This is the long-lost feeling of being alive.

His team members remained silent, as silent as the quiet countryside, but their movements were quick and natural, as if shadows followed the body closely behind the man.
