The ultimate master of the ninja world

Chapter 39, Reversal and Chill

嗤

At this moment, a subtle sound of breaking through the air sounded from behind Ito Yukiko.

Yukiko Ito narrowed her eyes slightly, but without changing her color, she held the kunai she was about to throw with her backhand and suddenly turned sideways to block it.

Ding

The kunai connected with the slender tachi, sparks shot out, and at the same time, a dark figure holding the tachi was revealed. It was the ANBU who had just observed the field.

As early as when he discovered that Ito Yukiko was approaching Kushina, this ANBU knew that the target was in danger and chose to intervene without hesitation. However, he did not appear beside Kushina to protect him. Instead, he lurked close to Ito Yukiko. Launch a surprise attack.

"Konoha ANBU" Ito Yukiko also recognized the ANBU's outfit, and her eyes narrowed slightly. The elite of the ANBU was not Kushina, and she was completely unaware of the silent approach.

The Anbu's eyes were cold under the mask, and without saying a word, he turned his body, pulled the long sword smoothly, and made another simple but sharp slash.

"Che" Ito Yukiko didn't panic at all. She narrowed her eyes and slumped down suddenly. She dodged the slashing sword and immediately stabbed the Anbu's chest with the kunai in her hand from bottom to top.

噗

It wasn't the sound of kunai stabbing, but the Anbu's body turned into a puff of smoke, and it turned out to be a shadow clone.

"Hmph" Ito Yukiko's expression did not change. It was obviously not the first time she had to deal with this situation. According to past experience, she held the kunai tightly and quickly turned around to face the imminent appearance of the ANBU's true form.

However, to her surprise, the ANBU's true form did not appear as expected, and an ominous premonition quickly filled her mind.

Yukiko Ito's pretty little face finally changed. She hurriedly turned her head to look behind her, and saw a detonating talisman floating in the air in the smoke that the ANBU shadow clone had transformed into.

"Damn"

Ito Yukiko's pupils shrank suddenly, and she almost broke her silver teeth, but it was too late to deal with it at this moment.

boom

The raging fire instantly engulfed the surrounding area.

嗤

The figure of Ito Yukiko suddenly appeared ten meters away. Apart from a slight look of embarrassment, there was no trace of damage on her whole body. It was obvious that she had avoided the impact of the explosion at the critical moment.

嗤

As soon as her body stopped, Ito Yukiko didn't have time to be alert. A figure suddenly appeared above her body. Under the refraction of the moonlight, a long knife shining with cold light hit her head.

Ito Yukiko's face changed suddenly. She had just tried her best to avoid the impact of the explosion, but now she was at the end of her strength. Facing this fierce murderous intention, her body could not react at all.

"Don't kill me, I surrender." At the critical moment, Ito Yukiko shouted.

噗

Even so, ANBU's knife still didn't hesitate at all, and instantly penetrated Ito Yukiko's body. However, the sharp blade that originally pierced her head only pierced her shoulder at this moment.

For Anbu, this was not because of sympathy, but just from a rational consideration. A living spy from the enemy's ninja village was more valuable than a corpse.

Kushina, who was running desperately, also heard the explosion behind her, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly turned her head to look behind her, only to see the long AN sword stabbing into Yukiko Ito's body.

His eyes suddenly widened, his pace gradually slowed down and he said in a daze, "I'm saved."

"Woof" Ah-Dai also quietly stuck out his little head.

The ANBU drew out his long knife, brought out a bunch of blood flowers, and stepped back a few meters towards Yukiko Ito. He did not let down his guard at all, and said in a voice without a trace of emotion, "Raise your hand and let me see it, otherwise I will think you are doing it secretly." Form a seal and directly obliterate you."

Ito Yukiko half-knelt on the ground, raised her hands obediently, lowered her head and panted, her face turned pale from the severe pain, and allowed the blood on her shoulders to flow, dyeing her clothes a coquettish red.

At this time, the ANBU turned its attention to Kushina not far away, and his tone was slightly gentle, "Just stand there, don't move, I'm here to protect you."

After narrowly escaping from death, Kushina was happy and said obediently, "Okay"

But, at this moment

"Woof woof" Dui in Kushina's arms suddenly barked impatiently.

Ito Yukiko, who lowered her head and looked straight at the ANBU, suddenly revealed a strange smile on her lips, kicked her feet to the ground instantly, and her body disappeared directly on the spot.

嗤

The ANBU was immediately alerted to the change. His pupils shrank suddenly, but he only had time to see a black shadow approaching, and his body was unable to react at all.

噗

The mask shattered, and beautiful blood burst out. Anbu's right eye was instantly penetrated by a sharp branch, and his head was penetrated, with a little bit of white brain matter, and blood flowed along the eye socket. The condition was extremely miserable.

"Okay" Kushina's voice trailed off, her mind went blank, completely stunned by this sudden reversal.

Naruto Office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and put down a document he hadn't read yet, picked up his pipe and bit it in his mouth, white smoke began to fill the air.

From the very beginning, his eyelids kept twitching, always feeling like something bad was about to happen, as if he had overlooked something.

"Hokage-sama, what's wrong?"

There was another person in the office. Hatake Sakumo was flipping through the important documents in the entire plan to deal with future wars. Seeing that Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed uneasy, he spoke in confusion.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at Hatake Sakumo, his heart jumped suddenly, and asked, "Has the routine report about Uzumaki Kushina been delivered today?"

Hatake Sakumo suddenly frowned and said with a slight hesitation, "Not yet. I have been very busy recently. You didn't remind me that I haven't noticed yet. Normally, the ANBU members monitoring Kushina would have already sent the report on time. But there must be something unexpected happening now.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart dropped, and his face instantly became gloomy. Without caring about anything else, he quickly took out the crystal ball and quickly used the telescope technique.

Fortunately, he had already asked Lord Uzumaki Mito to secretly set a secret mark on Kushina. As long as he was still within the Konoha barrier, he could easily find it. Therefore, it didn't take long to find the forest behind the Hokage Rock. Kushina in.

But together with Hatake Sakumo, they saw the scene where ANBU members were killed by Ito Yukiko.

砰

Sarutobi Hinata suddenly slapped his palms on the table, his face as sinking as water.

Hatake Sakumo also had a heavy face, his eyes were bright, and he said solemnly to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "I will rush over personally immediately and try to save Uzumaki Kushina as much as possible."

Strictly speaking this time, it can be said that it was the negligence of their Anbu. Although he did not know the significance of Kushina, he could also see that the Third Hokage valued it.

"It's not possible, we must save her," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a rare chill.

Hatake Sakumo rarely saw the Third Hokage show such an expression, and the last time was when the Second Hokage died, he immediately said solemnly, "I understand, Hokage-sama."

Before the words disappeared, Hatake Sakumo's figure had disappeared into the office. Obviously, he did not dare to waste any more time.

Sarutobi Hinata ignored him and stared at the crystal ball in silence. In fact, he no longer had much hope that Hatake Sakumo could catch up.

And once the future second-generation Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki Kushina dies, in addition to facing harsh criticism from the elders, he is also worried about the huge losses that the village may suffer.

Especially in the critical situation where Uzumaki Mito is about to end his life, it will be difficult to find a suitable Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki in a short time, but he must now start to consider the worst situation he may face.

Inuzuka Hanana looked at the bright lights around her and paced the street irritably. She was really not used to the sudden absence of A-Dai by her side.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed away from the corner of her eye, leaving an afterimage in her eyes.

"That's Hatake Sakumo-sama, right?"

Ordinary people may not even notice the figure, but as a member of the Inuzuka clan whose senses are better than ordinary people, Inuzuka Hanana instantly recognized the identity of the figure in just a fleeting moment. They were both members of a famous family in Konoha. She was no stranger to Hatake Sakumo.

"It's so late, what is he doing?"

Inuzuka Hanana thought in confusion, but soon she put this doubt behind her mind. However, less than a moment later, the pedestrians around her suddenly made a sound of surprise, attracting her attention again.

Looking up in confusion, she saw more than ten black figures in the distance flashing rapidly under the moonlight. Judging from their costumes, they were all ANBU members. At the same time, Inuzuka Hanana also saw the direction of their actions, which was similar to the Hatake she just saw. Sakumo agrees completely.

"With so many ANBU and Hatake Sakumo-sama acting together, could something serious have happened?" Inuzuka Hanana muttered, tilting her little head.

Ito Yukiko took the long knife from Anbu's hand, released the branch that penetrated Anbu's brain, and let the silent Anbu body fall slowly.

The piercing wound on her shoulder was no longer bleeding, and it was obvious that she had stopped it using some method.

Ito Yukiko slowly turned around, dancing her sword lightly, looking at Kushina with a dull face, a twisted and bloodthirsty smile on her pretty face.

"This Anbu is following you, right? I'm starting to be a little curious about your identity. With the rare red hair, and the relationship between Konoha and Uzushio Hidden Village, you are a remnant of the Uzumaki clan. Tsk, then I will keep you even more. Incredible little sister”

The fatal sense of crisis stung her nerves, and Kushina suddenly woke up. Her face turned pale and she moved her legs. She knew she had to run away, even though she had no hope in her heart.

Ignoring her regrets, Kushina hugged Ah-Dai who was moaning, staggered, and ran away in a hurry again.

嗤

A low sound of breaking through the air sounded from behind, and Kushina's calf hurt. "Ah" her body rolled forward and fell out, and the dumb boy she was holding in her arms couldn't help but be thrown away.

"Woo" Ah-Dai's small body rolled to the ground, rolling up a few dead leaves. After stabilizing his body with messy limbs, he turned around and saw Ito Yukiko, and ran away in fear.

嗤

A Qianben shot accurately into Ah-Dai's body. "Wow!" Ah-Dai screamed, rolled on the ground a few times, twitched and gradually lost his voice.

"Ah" Kushina screamed. Unexpectedly, Ito Yukiko would not even let go of a puppy. She hated him more and more and at the same time secretly regretted it. If it weren't for herself, Dumb wouldn't have died. , even if she was lucky enough to survive this time, she would not be able to explain to Inuzuka Hanana.
