Naruto Arrows

A distance of several kilometers is nothing to a Jonin, but a few minutes, in the hearts of the Sunagakure ninjas at this moment, is as long as centuries.

When Ma Ji led a group of Jonin to arrive, the only sounds left in the messy root camp were the painful groans and wails of a few lucky ones who were lucky enough to survive.

Damn, are you still late? !

"Treat the injured and check for any traces left behind!"

Ma Ji, who cursed secretly in his heart, ordered with a very ugly expression.

"You, you Sunagakure, Nan, do you want to start a war again?!"

However, the root ninja who he ordered to treat was somewhat ungrateful. He recognized his root ninja and endured the severe pain in his body. The face that was already distorted by pain under the broken mask became even more ferocious.

"That guy is not Sunagakure's ninja. On the contrary, we are also looking for him,"

Although he was aroused by the root ninja's method of repaying kindness with revenge, he could only suppress the anger in his heart in order to obtain information about Scorpion from the other party and resolve possible conflicts with Konoha.

"That's our S-class rebel ninja from Sunagakure, the terrifying puppet master known as the Scorpion of Red Sand. If you don't want to see Danzo's body, I advise you to just shut up and accept treatment, and then Tell us everything that happened before.”

However, as he tried his best to suppress his anger, his tone was obviously not much better.

The root ninja fell silent when he heard the words "S-class traitorous ninja".

As for the terrifying extent of this level of rebellious ninja, he was very clear in his heart as he came from a humble background.

Orochimaru, who defected from Konoha a few years ago, was an S-class rebellious ninja, and Orochimaru was so terrifying that even if he just thought about it now, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Maki-sama!"

Just when Ma Ji finally told the wounded patient to shut his mouth and accept the treatment obediently, the ANBU who came with him seemed to have made a major discovery and called out in an urgent tone.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

Ma Ji, who was motionless, was already at the ANBU's side the next moment.

"Master Marki, look here."

As the other party pointed at the trunk of the big tree in front of him, Ma Ji looked over. Even though he could keep a calm face when he was angered by the root ninja before, he couldn't help but slightly widen his eyes.

"It rains when iron sand!"

Having performed missions with the Sandaime Kazekage, he recognized the iron sand tightly wedged into the tree trunk, and then recognized the unique ninjutsu of the Kazekage series that caused such damage to the tree.

"Lord Markey, is it that rumor that the puppet masters like to talk about..."

The Sunagakure ANBU who called Maki over obviously asked him to come so anxiously because he recognized Sunatetsu Shigure. As an ANBU who walks in the darkness, he is naturally familiar with the rumors and news in the village. , and therefore, the moment he saw the scars on the tree trunk, he had already connected the scene in front of him with the rumors he had heard.

'The missing Sandaime Kazekage was killed by Scorpion and made into a taboo human puppet by Scorpion. '

"I'm afraid that rumor is indeed true."

As the ANBU minister, Maki had naturally heard of this rumor. Although he had never believed that such a powerful Sandaime Kazekage would be killed by Scorpion, who had just been promoted to chuunin at the time, the evidence in front of him had already been revealed. That says it all.

"Maki-sama, do these Konoha ninjas want to..."

Seeing that Ma Ji fell into silence, the ANBU in front of him whispered in his ear and at the same time made subtle gestures on his throat with his right hand.

As the leader of a village, Kage was actually killed by young people from the same village and turned into a puppet. If this kind of thing spreads, Sunagakure will definitely become the laughing stock of the entire ninja world.

Therefore, for the sake of Sunagakure's face, he suggested to Maki to get rid of these root ninjas who were lucky enough to survive.

Ma Ji naturally understood what he was thinking, but he just thought about it for a moment before shaking his head in denial.

"Duanzo has escaped. Even if we kill them, it is impossible to keep this secret."

The reason is also very simple. The strongest Danzo has escaped, and it is [-]% impossible to keep this secret.

Rather than killing these Konoha ninjas and causing troubles between the two villages just to bet on the [-]% chance, it would be better to keep these people and let them wash away the dirty water on Sunagakure.

As for the shame, as long as Sunagakure can regain his strength as soon as possible, no one will dare to laugh at Sunagakure again.

. . .

Danzo, who gave up fighting and asked many of his men to cut off his rear, was indeed top-notch in his ability to escape. Soon, under the escort of three of his confidants, he escaped for more than ten kilometers, leaving Scorpion behind.

However, there was no trace of joy on his face after losing his army. On the contrary, he did not even dare to light the fire again. Even if the moonlight shone like water, his face was so dark that it was difficult to see his facial features.

This time he did not hesitate to come in person, originally to capture Uchiha Shisui who had lost one eye, but he did not expect that Uchiha Shisui did not see him, but he met someone who made the Sandaime Kazekage into a puppet. A tough character.

While he was escaping, his brain was not idle. Based on the information obtained by the root ninja in the ninja world over the years, and the observation of his brief encounter with the scorpion just now, he had already guessed the true identity of the puppet who could use the magnetic escape sand iron ninjutsu. , is the missing Sandaime Kazekage.

After all, they were "old friends" who had met during the First Ninja War. Even though they were in high positions and hadn't seen each other for decades, they still remembered each other's signature ninjutsu.

It was precisely because he knew the strength of the Sandaime Kazekage that he looked so ugly at this moment.

A puppet master who can kill the Sandaime Kazekage and turn him into a puppet must be no less powerful than the Sandaime Kazekage. Even if he risks his life against such an opponent, he will only get a miserable victory at most. He has not yet sat down. After taking the position of Hokage, he couldn't just die here.

"Where are Yamanaka Haiichi and the others?"

So, he needs someone to attract the attention of the puppet master for him.

"We don't know yet that Jia Wei who went to monitor has not returned yet. However, it is certain that he should be not far from the Kingdom of Stone."

Compared to other root ninjas who were trembling when facing Danzo, as his confidant who could be completely trusted when escaping for their lives, they were obviously much calmer.

"Do you need my subordinates to go and investigate immediately?"

"No need."

Danzo closed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"In 10 minutes, we will set off back to the Land of Craftsmen."

"Yes!"

The confidants who also believed that it was necessary to make peace with the first-class jounin of Yamanaka Kai and act together immediately bowed in response and began to use the remaining precious time to restore chakra.

Facing the many root ninjas led by Danzo, Scorpion, who launched an attack without any hesitation, would definitely not give up. They did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
