Naruto Arrows

'Is it really a scorpion? ! '

After hearing Yamanaka Haiichi briefly describe the previous battle with Scorpion, Ma Ji couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although he had learned from the Ninja Ninja that the Sandaime Kazekage had indeed been made into a human puppet, because Scorpio had been staying in the Hidden Amber at that time, there was still a trace of luck left in his heart.

After all, compared to seeing the grandson of Chiyo who devoted his whole life to Sunagakure become the sinner and evil person who killed the Kazekage and even made the Kazekage into a taboo person, he undoubtedly hoped that a heinous person from another village could take the responsibility. These evil deeds.

Unfortunately, the truth is often the cruelest.

The other ninjas of Sunagakure obviously do not have Maki's delicate and complex thoughts, especially the many puppet masters who regard Xion as an "experience baby". The power shown, especially after hearing that Xie was able to control hundreds of puppets at the same time, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

The desire for Scorpion's puppet technology even made them forget the original purpose of leaving the Kingdom of Wind this time. After hearing that Scorpion had just escaped, they didn't even bother to say hello to Ma Ji, and they all headed in the direction of Scorpion's escape. After chasing him, Marki's face instantly turned dark.

Fortunately, even without these puppet masters, the Sunagakure ninjas around Maji were still far stronger than Konoha, at least that's what he thought.

Therefore, he still had enough confidence to make demands to Konoha.

Exchange the rescued root ninjas for Qingming's body.

"Heh, do you think Danzo-sama would be so stupid that even with Qingmei's corpse, he would stay here and wait for you to come with a leisurely look on his face?"

No one expected that the first person to start a group would be the youngest, seemingly harmless Hinata Neji.

However, no matter how Danzo listened, he felt that this brat's words were very awkward and harsh.

It seems to be telling Sunagakure that they don't have Kiyoaki's body in their hands, but in fact it seems to be a hint that the thing was in his hand from the beginning, allowing him to attract Sunagakure's attention.

"Hmph, who knows if you did it on purpose?"

Sure enough, these words not only failed to dispel Sunagakure's suspicion, but on the contrary, they became more suspicious that Qingming's body was in the hands of these Konoha ninjas in front of them.

Coupled with the anger accumulated from being walked around like a dog by Danzo and Xia, the Sunagakure ninjas behind Maki were ready to make a move at this time.

Even if those puppets who are stupid and think nothing of discipline go after Scorpion, they still have nearly twenty Chuunin, nearly ten Jounin, and there are others who are searching and intercepting them within a radius of dozens of miles nearby. As a small team, they had the absolute upper hand in terms of numbers.

"Hand over Qingming's body, and you can keep the three ninja tools."

As the leader of this operation, Markey is still very calm and can even choose to give in when he has the upper hand.

"Ha, if you want to get Qingming's body, now you have to go to Konoha to ask our Sandaime Hokage for it."

Naturally, Danzo was full of confidence as he dared to stay and deal with so many ninjas from Sunagakure, even though he had just used most of his chakra to destroy Scorpion's Red Secret Technique.

"In that case, don't blame us for being rude."

Seeing that Danzo and the others were struggling, Ma Ji finally got annoyed and his tone became extremely harsh.

"Hmph, if you are not afraid of another ninja war, you can go ahead and do whatever you want."

If it could be guaranteed that no one could escape Konoha, and so many powerful ninjas in Konoha could be kept here forever, Maji would be happy to see that scene, but now, seeing Danzo so fearless, he was I'm a little unsure.

"Maki-sama!"

Just when the atmosphere between the two sides was tense, a voice broke the tense atmosphere. A masked Sunagakure Anbu appeared, knelt down in front of Maki, and reported the report in an urgent and fast voice.

"The Puppet Master troops encountered Scorpion, suffering heavy casualties and in urgent need of support."

"These incompetent bastards!"

Maki, who clearly knew that those puppet masters were almost the only remaining puppet master seeds of Sunagakure, couldn't help but darken his face, cursed inwardly with both anger and helplessness, and after taking a deep look at Danzo and the others, he finally Turned and left.

"let's go."

Qingming's body is important, but if the remaining Puppet Master seeds are also destroyed by the scorpion, then even if Qingming's body is obtained, what use will it be without the Puppet Master for research?

You can't put all your hopes and burdens on the shoulders of the retired elder Chiyo, right?

. . .

Seeing Konoha already in front of him, Neji couldn't help but show a look of sincere joy on his face.

I thought that this trip to the Craftsman Country would be a relaxing trip, and the most I would do would be to be disgusted by Nebe and Danzo. However, I never thought that I would encounter a biochemical crisis in the Craftsman Country, and I finally suppressed the zombies that had resurrected from the dead. Qingming, when I came back, I encountered an omnic crisis again, and almost killed everyone.

Not to mention, Sunagakure later came to kill Qingming and asked for Qingming's body to no avail, and the two sides almost ended up fighting each other.

Fortunately, there was no danger, and Ning Hansan finally came back.

Moreover, the money he earned this time was almost enough to buy a sealing scroll.

When he goes on missions in the future, he will finally no longer have to carry a huge and obstructive bow.

The only thing he regrets is that the three ninja tools on Qingming's body will probably be sent to Orochimaru for scientific research by Danzo this time. He wants to use the Ryukan Yari Anto as the main material to make a powerful weapon. The dream of a freely changing longbow is probably going to come to nothing.

"What? Qingming's body and the three ninja tools were returned to the village?"

Therefore, when he heard Hinata Yokoyama tell him that Qingming's body and the three ninja tools had been sent back, his face was filled with shock.

"How is this possible? Has Danzo changed his character?"

He would rather believe that Danzo will change gender than that Danzo will change gender.

There must be something wrong somewhere.

Neji thought so, and so did Danzo.

And compared to Ningji who could only guess, Danzo quickly found out which link was wrong.

. . .

"You mean, it was Aburame Ryoma who found you, handed the things to you, and ordered you to bring the stuff back and hand it over to Sarutobi Hiruzen?!"

In the Root base, after entering the village, Danzo changed from being proud to being angry and suspicious. He soon found the Root ninja who brought Qingming's body back to the village and handed it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Yes Yes."

The unlucky guy who just followed the orders of his superior, Aburame Ryoma, but didn't expect to incur Danzo's wrath, knelt on the ground, his body trembling and his voice trembling.

"Aburame Ryoma hasn't returned to the village yet?"

However, Danzo, who knew that he was just an insignificant character, was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He was more concerned about the whereabouts of Ryoma Aburame, who was trusted by him but betrayed his orders.

"Not yet."

Knowing that Danzo must be furious at this moment, his subordinates answered concisely and clearly, not daring to say another word, for fear that any single word would arouse Danzo's anger and lead to misfortune.

"Immediately do all you can to find the whereabouts of Aburame Ryoma. No matter whether he is alive or dead, we must find him and bring him back!"

Danzo, who was already suspicious, had undoubtedly begun to suspect that Ryoma Aburame had betrayed him.

Even though Aburame Ryoma still has a curse mark on her body that can eliminate tongue troubles.

. . .

When Danzo ordered the search for Aburame Ryoma's whereabouts, in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was listening to Yamanaka Haiichi's report.

Although Yamanaka Haiichi and Yamato had already written mission reports and he had briefly read them, he still felt that he needed to ask and listen to them in person.

"Is Danzo really heading for the ultimate weapon of the Takumi Ninja Village this time?"

But when he heard that Danzo came to the rescue, he suddenly interrupted Yamanaka Haiichi and asked. The eyes covered by the Hokage's bamboo hat were staring at Yamanaka Haiichi amidst the smoke sprayed from his nose. One's eyes.

"From the subordinates' point of view, it should be so."

Although he didn't understand why Sarutobi Hiruzen asked this, Yamanaka Haiichi nodded affirmatively after being stunned for a moment.

"Judging from the performance of Sunagakure and Sunagakure's S-class rebellious ninja Red Sand Scorpion, this thing is indeed a target worthy of Danzo-sama's personal visit."

"Ah."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything more, but nodded thoughtfully, indicating for him to continue.

"During this mission, there is one more thing that I think is worth mentioning."

After reciting the contents of the mission report, Yamanaka Haiichi raised his head and glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, then lowered his voice and spoke.

"It must be about Neji's child."

After reading the mission reports of Yamato and himself, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately thought of what he wanted to say.

"Yes."

Yamanaka Haiichi, who was not good at flattering others, nodded dryly and replied.

"There is something special about that child. Before Lord Sandaime gets permission, I think the fewer people who know about it, the better."

"Oh? What's so strange about that child?"

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen became interested.

"Those four craftsman ninjas who want to resurrect Qingming actually each have a special ninja tool..."

Yamanaka Haiichi pondered for a moment, and after organizing his words, he began to tell Sarutobi Hiruzen about the scene that only he and Neji knew.

"Using a bow and arrow to cause huge damage comparable to B-level ninjutsu?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was originally just curious about Yamanaka Haiichi's attitude, finally looked serious after listening to his narration.

"Moreover, it seems to be a power different from chakra. The armor that can absorb chakra was completely destroyed by that arrow."

After Yamanaka Hai nodded in affirmation, he added another sentence.

"A power different from chakra?!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes widened, and he even forgot to smoke the pipe in his mouth.

As a well-informed old ninja known as the Doctor of Ninjutsu, he naturally knew what this sentence meant.

"Could it be the natural energy controlled by the three holy places?"

Although his three disciples are the descendants of Shigu Forest, Miaomu Mountain and Longdi Cave respectively, he only knows about it. To go deeper, because of the rules of the three holy places, even if he is the master of the three, he will not be able to get the master of the three. Before the recognition of the three holy places, there was no way to understand it in detail.

But now, Orochimaru defected, Tsunade left the village to start a heart-warming activity of giving away money in the gambling industry, and Jiraiya also left the village after Orochimaru defected. He had no way to verify his guess.

However, if Neji really masters natural energy, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for Konoha.

But if word spreads, it may not be a good thing for Neji.

"This matter will be suppressed for the time being. Externally, we will follow what is written in your mission report."

After pondering for a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally made a decision when he knew that the tobacco leaves in his pipe had been completely exhausted.

"Yes."

Yamanaka Haiichi, who had this idea in mind, breathed a sigh of relief.

However, he didn't know that after he left, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had changed his tobacco and walked to the window, gave two orders to the empty window before lighting his pipe.

"Search for news about Tsunade and Jiraiya immediately."

"Raise Hyuga Neji's surveillance level to Jinchuriki level one."

. . .

Not only outsiders like Sarutobi Hiruzen and Yamanaka Haiichi were curious to know where the power of Hyuga Neji's arrow that shot the armorer Ninja came from, but he himself was also very curious.

In his opinion, archery skills such as Killing Arrows, which are used to lock the qi machine, should be spiritual abilities. They use spiritual energy to complete the qi machine locking, guide themselves, and then guide the arrows.

Although it sounds mysterious, because the extraction of chakra requires the use of spiritual energy, he thinks it is the easiest to accept.

But Wu Ya, especially an archery technique like Wu Ya and Falling Star that can bring such large-scale destruction, the source of its power, even he, who masters archery, is a little confused.

However, fortunately, he is not a person who likes to get to the bottom of things, let alone get into trouble.

Therefore, even if it was strange in my heart, it was immediately forgotten.

After all, right now, he has more important things to do.

Although he didn't understand why Danzo changed his temper and kindly sent Qingming's body back to Konoha, it didn't matter to him.

What's important is that Longan Gali An Dao also followed Qingming's body to Konoha. His dream that had almost completely lost hope now suddenly became possible again.

However, it was obviously not an easy task to get a very powerful ninja tool like the Ryuzan Yali Anto from Sarutobi Hiruzen, so he needed to find someone to help.

And when he knew that Yamanaka Haiichi was summoned alone by Sarutobi Hiruzen, his thoughts became even more vivid.

During this trip to the country of craftsman, he exposed his strength in front of Yamazaka Haiichi. Although there were certain risks, he knew very well that risks often come with opportunities. If he could seize this opportunity that came with the risks, what would happen to him? For him, it can suddenly become a new seedling that has attracted much attention and been cultivated.

Based on the relationship between Yamanaka Haiichi and Sarutobi Hiruzen, his performance must have been known to Sarutobi Hiruzen by now, and he should have received attention.

Next, it’s time to turn this attention into tangible benefits.
