The ultimate master of the ninja world

Chapter 24, Murder in the Night

At this time, the young man with a mustache whispered beside the girl. The girl's willow-leaf-like eyebrows frowned, and she snorted coldly without saying anything else.

She obviously didn't expect that the background of the restaurant here was so troublesome, but she was just talking about buying this restaurant, and she wasn't really stupid.

The girl did not continue to insist on driving away the others, but walked to the side of the window where there were fewer guests with a cold face, and Shumu Miyue was sitting here similarly.

Just as the girl was about to sit down, she noticed Shu Mu Jian Yue not far away who was having a hard time swallowing the food, and her eyebrows furrowed.

It is true that Shu Mu Jian Yue's current image is too unflattering. Not only did she use the transformation technique to make herself look fat.

He saw the girl looking at him, grinning, showing big yellow teeth with fleshy threads, and gave the girl a smile that he thought was friendly.

The girl's pretty little face turned blue for a while, her eyelids twitched again, and finally she bit her teeth and snorted coldly, turned around and sat down with her back to Shumu Jianyue.

Shumu Jianyue was puzzled and became even more unhappy with the girl, feeling even less burdened by her decision.

He probably forgot at this time that his current image is indeed quite disgusting.

I don't know whether it's because she really doesn't like strangers around when eating, or because she knows that there is an unappetizing guy like Shumu Miyue, but the girl doesn't seem to have any appetite. After eating a few casual bites, she pays the bill with a cold face and gets up. To leave.

Shu Mu Jian Yue didn't care that he wasn't full yet. He also hurriedly paid the bill, grabbed a roast duck and hurriedly chased after it. However, as soon as he left the restaurant, his expression changed.

On the crowded street, four figures, one big, three small, walked slowly. Passers-by cast their eyes on them from time to time. The four people were dressed differently, but each of them wore a forehead protector on their head. The familiar pattern on them proves their identities as Konoha ninjas.

Naturally, Shumu Mizuki also saw them, but it was not surprising to meet ninjas who happened to be on a mission here. What made him hesitate was that Hinata Hizashi was among them.

He didn't know the Jonin who led the team, but Hyuga Hizashi and the other two genin had known each other since their predecessors were in ninja school. They were all students who graduated from the previous class, but their predecessors were not familiar with them.

At this time, he coincidentally ran into Hinata Hizashi who was on a mission. He was really afraid of being recognized by the other party. Although it was not troublesome to find an excuse to explain, he still subconsciously did not want to be recognized by the other party. Fortunately, the other party did not recognize him at this time. Turn on the eye roll.

But Shu Mu Jian Yue still didn't dare to be careless, returned to the restaurant, and unlocked the transformation technique in the shadows.

When they came out again, Hinata and others had disappeared, and the girl and her group had also disappeared.

However, Shumu Jianyue didn't pay attention. Based on what he had just learned about the girl, he must be staying in one of the most expensive and luxurious hotels in the city. Finding her was not a big problem.

As the night grew darker, the outline of the moon began to emerge.

At this time, there was still a hint of crimson on the horizon, like a fire burning in the sky, so that the sky was not completely invaded by darkness.

In the endless dense forest, two carriages were driving slowly along the winding forest path. There were more than a dozen figures guarding the two carriages. While driving, they did not forget to observe the surroundings vigilantly.

In the front carriage, there was only Makihara Tsukune in the whole carriage. At this time, Makihara Tsukune lost his usual arrogance, and his eyes were just as calm as the quiet water.

Looking through the car window, he watched the surrounding dense forest gradually being swallowed up by darkness, and the whole world seemed to be filled with shadows. Makihara Tsukune felt a sense of cold and lonely fear for no reason.

When her eyes swept over the silent Chuunin guard following closely outside the carriage, she unconsciously felt at ease. Perhaps the only person she could rely on in the entire convoy was this person.

Even if she was far away from the seemingly magnificent mansion, even if she pretended to be a stupid young lady, as long as that woman was still alive, she still had no sense of security.

"Qingxi, how long does it take to get to Yehuo City?" Makihara Tsukune used his usual arrogant tone and asked Nasu Haruki who was driving for her.

The young man with a mustache who was driving the carriage replied with a flattering smile, "Miss, keep up the current speed, there will be about three days left."

There was silence in the carriage for a moment, and then Makihara Tsukune's tone became slightly more serious, as if he said casually, "There's no need to rush, walk slowly, and play outside for a few more days."

"Understood, Miss"

Nasu Haruki also guessed the reason why her young lady did not want to rush back to Yehuo City so quickly. To her, that place was a cage and a shackles of restraint. Returning there meant that she could not be as wanton as she was outside.

just

Nasu Haruki looked at the darkness under the shadow of the surrounding trees, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.

In fact, my lady doesn’t have to worry at all, because

She could never go back to that place.

"Wait, everyone stop"

The hoarse voice came from the Chuunin guard who had been following the carriage. His keen alertness made him find that the silence around him was too strange.

The carriage had already reached a small stream. When Nasu Haruki heard the noise, he quickly tightened the rope, and the horse pulling the carriage gradually stopped in confusion.

The carriage stopped slowly, followed by another carriage carrying a whole carriage and Makihara Tsukune's personal belongings.

Makihara Tsukune felt the movement outside, poked his little head out of the car, frowned and asked, "Mr. Shigeta, what happened?"

"Something's wrong." Shigeta Daito looked solemnly and glanced at her, "Go back to the car."

Makihara Tsukune's charming little face changed slightly, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart. She nodded silently, returned to the car obediently, and huddled her petite body in the corner.

Just then, the crisis suddenly emerged

An arm suddenly shot out from the ground, quickly grabbed one of Shigeta Daito's feet, and violently pulled Shigeta Daito's body down, trying to pull him into the ground.

"Heart Beheading Technique" Shigeta Daito's face changed drastically, "Ninja"

At this time, the calf and above had been pulled into the ground, but he was an experienced chuunin after all. Daito Shigeta did not panic and reacted quickly, "Earth Release. Split Earth and Turn Palm"

Shigeta Daito's palm, which had condensed a large amount of chakra, suddenly hit the ground beneath him.

boom

The ground suddenly felt like an earthquake, rapidly collapsing with the center under him, spreading and cracking.

Hissing

The horse pulling the carriage was suddenly frightened, neighing in panic, breaking free from the restraints of the carriage, and ran towards the dense forest in a panic.

"what"

The carriage lost its balance and fell forward to the ground. A scream sounded in the carriage. It was obvious that Tsukune Makihara was also quite frightened inside.

But strangely, Nasu Haruki, who was originally driving the car, has long since disappeared.

Following Shigeta Daito's ferocious attack, a low muffled sound suddenly came from the ground. Apparently, the sneak attacker below the ground was not feeling well either.

But before Shigeta Daito could continue his attack, several black lights shot at him from the air, but they were eight kunai.

Shigeta Daito's expression changed. He ignored the enemies underground and dodged and shot away.

噗

The mud and rocks on the ground exploded, and a figure took the opportunity to escape from the ground. Shigeta Daito saw the figure clearly, and saw that he was dressed in black ninja uniform, with a Taki-nin forehead protector on his head, but there was an extra scratch in the middle that was carved by a sharp weapon. .

At this time, two more shadows shot out from the shadows in the trees, and their appearance was also exposed. They were the same as the ones who had sneaked up on him underground just now.
