Konoha: Archers of the Hyuga family

"Ow~"

"Ouch-"

After a wolf howl, Hinata Kumokawa's face turned red under the mask.

What kind of connection code is this? You have to learn how to cry like a wolf, and the tone of both parties is different... It's so weird.

Hinata Kumokawa accelerated his speed and landed next to the two ANBU ninjas.

A ninja wearing a bulldog-like mask was a strong man about two meters tall, with arms thicker than Hinata Kumikawa's waist. According to the information given by the Sandaime, this was "Tou", the squad leader of Class No. 17.

The one next to him has a much normal figure, and the mask is relatively simple. It is a pure white mask with a three-stroke beard similar to Naruto's, but the top of the mask is a sharp corner.

His codename is "Shark", and his three-stroke beard is actually fish gills. It's not difficult to figure out what animal the mask is modeled after, but it's just a bit too simplified and requires someone else's brainstorming.

Dou took the lead and asked, "Yin?"

"Ah."

Hinata Kumokawa nodded.

"Let's talk about the situation first. We lost two people, and he must have been injured. The route was all the way west, and the destination should be back to the Kingdom of Wind, but we lost him last night."

"Yeah, I understand~"

Hinata Kumokawa frowned.

It stands to reason that Xion will go back to the Kingdom of Wind. Anyway, even if the mission is completed, Xion will be sent back to the Kingdom of Wind. Why do ANBU keep him in the Kingdom of Fire? Not to mention that 500 million taels are worth more than two elite ANBU. Such nonsense is impossible.

Therefore, the ANBU's mission was not to capture Scorpion and send him back home.

Sandai didn't tell him such important information...

The three of them searched westward.

Some of the intermittent traces were deliberately left to mislead the pursuers, and there were also various poison needle explosions and other traps hidden in the jungle. Fortunately, Hinata Kumikawa's Byakugan was there.

Although the tracking speed is not fast, it can be regarded as steady progress.

Finally, we tracked it to the edge of a town. The traces of the scorpion were mixed into the footsteps of passers-by, making it impossible to continue tracking.

However, according to the descriptions of the two ANBU seniors, he was seriously injured after all, and he probably would not be able to continue traveling at a high speed. He might just huddle in a corner of the town and lick his wounds...

……

Just as Hinata Kumikawa guessed, Scorpio was indeed unable to move quickly due to his injury, but he was not licking his wounds... to be precise, he "picked off" the entire injured leg.

"Weak body..."

Scorpion's face was expressionless, and he treated the wound, leaving a small bone and joint exposed, and then used medical ninjutsu to stop the bleeding, and then began to treat the calf whose leg bone was broken by a blunt instrument.

Cut open the intact sole of the foot, take out the undamaged bones, splice them together, use special wood to make the sole of the foot and wrap it, and replace the entire lower leg with special puppet material, in which you can easily draw your own chakra circuit Version……

"Wow~woo..."

A big dog appeared at the entrance of the alley, staring at the scorpion with green eyes.

It smelled of blood, very strong blood.

"Are you hungry?"

The pale-faced Xie stood up, took two steps forward, and tried the puppet prosthetic body.

It can't be said to be good. After all, it was something made in an emergency. The joints are very imperfect, but they no longer hurt... much better than the flesh. It has no feeling, but it is solid and reliable.

Scorpion calmly walked past the big dog.

"You can eat that kind of garbage if you want~"

The big dog looked up at him and bared his teeth, but Xie's footsteps did not pause at all. He walked out of the dark alley safely, flicked his sleeves and dropped a scroll into his hand. He looked up at the three men standing on the ridge of the house across the street. Taoist figure.

"Just go ahead and capture me. It's impossible to escape in your current state."

"If you don't try...how will you know~"

……

The iron chain was thrown out, and a cloud of smoke suddenly burst out in front of Scorpion, followed by the crisp sound of gold and iron. The iron chain was pushed aside by the steel knife, and a puppet rushed out, slashing at the three people above with two swords.

Hinata Kumokawa immediately dodged away, his brows tightening under the mask.

It's a puppet I've never seen before. It looks like a bald man, with swords extending out of each arm. There are two pairs of blade wings on the back, and a long tail of more than two meters... This is part of it that is shrunk in the belly of the puppet. The entire height is nearly two meters.

it looks like...

It's like a simplified bald version of Fei Liuhu.

The "Dou" didn't dodge, he just pulled back the iron chain and shook it hard. The iron chain seemed to have eyes. It instantly wrapped around the puppet's body and firmly suppressed the outstretched arms of the sword at its side. .

In an instant, it seemed as if the puppet's attack was neutralized...

But in Hinata Kumikawa's white-eyed vision, the attack had just begun.

The psychic technique is activated in the scroll hidden under the cloak of the puppet, and the chakra is given to the puppet in a way similar to the way Hinata Kumikawa uses the ninjutsu scroll to enchant arrows, and eventually it turns into flames and spurts out of the puppet's mouth...

Gossip Empty Palm!

An invisible ball of chakra crashed straight into the puppet.

Scorpion, standing from the perspective of a bystander, naturally noticed Hinata Kumikawa's movements. The blade suddenly popped out of the puppet's arm, breaking the iron chain wrapped around his body in an instant.

Without the pull of the iron chain, the process of the puppet being dragged towards the "fight" came to an abrupt end. The chakra thread even pulled the puppet back a little... It was this moment of pause that caused Sora's palm to rub against it. The puppet's nose flew by.

However, the flames in the puppet's mouth did not stop...

Almost as soon as the crimson flame appeared, the "shark" behind "Dou" began to form a seal, and the seal was completed when the flame turned into a pillar of fire and became incandescent due to the high temperature.

A large amount of water spit out from his mouth and gathered in front of the two people to form a rising wall of water to isolate the subsequent flames. The water vapor spread instantly...

An iron rod nearly two meters long suddenly appeared in Hinata Kumikawa's hand. He pulled it back and collided with the sharp blade, creating a bright spark in the mist.

"I know you."

Scorpion blocked Hinata Kumikawa's steel rod with the blade stretched out from his palm, his face expressionless.

Hinata Kumokawa didn't want to talk nonsense to him.

Directly injecting chakra into the cavity inside the steel rod, the internal weighted iron sand, driven by the chakra, suddenly exerted force and shook the scorpion away, creating a gap in his hand knife.

It's really interesting that he approached Hinata when he wanted to fight at close range.

You must know that the reason why the archer Hinata Kumikawa picked up the bow was to make up for the lack of long-range firepower, rather than because he felt that he was really good at bows and arrows, otherwise he would not have to rely on so many external forces...

At least in close combat, Hinata Kumokawa felt that he should be stronger than Scorpion's body.

Missing a hit, the scorpion retreated.

Hinata Kumikawa took advantage of the victory to pursue. The thick fog blocked the sight of others, but in front of Byakugan, it didn't matter whether there was fog or not.

However, the retreating Scorpion did not intend to escape, but stretched out his left hand, the "skin" of the forearm opened, forming a "cross" at the wrist, the psychic technique was activated, and the overwhelming thousands of books attacked Hinata Kumikawa...
