Naruto's caged bird

Chapter 198: Leave no one behind

Knife, put on the neck...

Above the neck is a frightened face, pale yellow with a hint of dark luster from year-round sunshine. It was firmly stuck on the torso covered in brown-green rough clothing below, trembling slightly against the blade.

The captive wanted to beg for mercy, but the silent black shadow holding a knife in the silent night frightened him. I am afraid that the other party will kill me as soon as I open my mouth. So, he looked pleadingly at the dim figures around him. He wanted to hand over his hands and beg for mercy, but he didn't dare to move. He looked at them one by one, and finally found one with a more natural expression among a group of indifferent shadows. He looked over pleadingly.

of the living

The mist ninja Sui Kabuto looked at the villagers held hostage by the sand ninja Zaki, and he savored the look in his eyes as they prayed to him. Immediately, he glanced at the sand ninja Zaki who had been following him all the way until he saw the other person's frozen face. Then, Shuidou pretended to be innocent and looked back at the villager who begged him. Then he stopped paying attention to the other person's eyes and began to carefully observe the villager's dress and behavior.

As a ninja who often has to walk among enemy groups, any detail is crucial to his troubled hands at this time.

The villagers in Konoha of Fire still dress in green, and the brown-green hemp clothes are the common attire of the lowest working people in the Land of Fire at this time of year. The habit of farming all year round makes this villager's skin dark and healthy. At the same time, unlike their mother country, the Country of Rain, the fishermen were horribly blackened by the dual effects of ultraviolet rays and sea breeze. Of course, it's not as rough as sandpaper as a sand ninja...

The Mist Ninja Sui Kabuto paid careful attention to the details of these Fire Country civilians, which was completely different from the Sand Ninjas who had ignored their lives and themselves. Perhaps, these are the keys to leaving this hellish place safely again. But among this group of sand ninjas who were ready to face death, there was still one person with a slightly different look in his eyes.

Zhaji, who was holding the villagers hostage, kept paying attention to Shuidou along the way. As if he has some kind of obsession with the final mission, even if he takes the opportunity to go to the toilet, he will be enveloped in the opponent's attack range. Sometimes it is so close that even the sound of breathing can be clearly heard in the silence of the night. Suddenly, Zhaji, who was standing next to Shuidou, ordered in a low voice:

"Leave no one behind"

In an instant, the captured villagers with frightened expressions quickly retreated back in fear, but they could not retreat from the ninja's sword.

In the darkness, the arms holding knives pulled and pulled past each other.

Suddenly, there was a "crunching" sound in the air, like a chicken's neck being wiped. The "click" when the blade cuts across is as if it got stuck on the Adam's apple, and then continues to pull through after the sharp sawing. then

"Bah", the water gate is opened

The air was instantly filled with the smell of blood, and the captured villagers felt their throats sore and sweet. Like a spring gushing, like a pipe exploding, crimson blood gushes out in a twitching and vocalizing fit. "Bang", the heart is also like a water meter.

The mist ninja Sui Kabuto looked at the villager who was praying to him just now. At this time, the other person's legs kept kicking on the ground and in the dirt. His open fingers grasped and pinched his neck tightly. It seemed like he was trying to strangle himself, but also like he was trying to catch something. It wasn't until he suddenly kicked hard and stopped moving that Shuidou, who was watching, realized thoughtfully: "It turns out that what he wants to seize is life."

Shuidou, who didn't need to take action at all, stared at the bright red swirling in the flow. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.

The red symbol of the Fire Nation in the vortex... seems to be also red

In the dark night, all the sand ninjas quickly jumped towards the houses in the village like Yama. Not long after, a death hissing sound reached Shuidou's ears in the silence. But the sand ninja Zaki himself, who issued the order, stood near the mist ninja Sui Kabuto from beginning to end and refused to leave. It seems to be protecting and taking care of. The bloody Desert Blade shook from time to time, causing him to subconsciously touch his neck...

The Land of Fire was invaded by ninjas

Taking advantage of the defense loopholes in Konoha's lost intelligence, the Sand Ninja, led by the Mist Ninja Sui Kabuto who escaped from the Land of Fire, used a small number of elite ninjas with a death wish to bypass the Konoha Ninja's defenses like a death squad and appeared in Within the Land of Fire.

A small number of Sand Ninja entered the Fire Country, although it was impossible to attack the Leaf Village. But the villages and towns outside Konoha, as well as the families and relatives of ninjas, were all slaughtered without mercy. Their families and relatives died around them... This was something I had never experienced up close before the Nine-Tails Incident. The hurt people of the Fire Nation felt the pain and resentment of the war for the first time.

And these culpabilities...

"Bang" anger filled the entire Hokage's office the moment the information was transmitted. Sarutobi Hiruzen propped up his palms that were slapped on the solid wood table. After thinking for a moment, he already figured out the enemy's purpose.

The Sand Ninja of the Wind Country, suppressed by Konoha of Fire on the battlefield, were still unwilling to fail despite the tailed beasts plundering them inside and Orochimaru restraining them outside. But the war-torn villagers in the Kingdom of Wind should have reached their peak of war-weariness at this time. Just like the United States, which was attacked at Pearl Harbor during World War II, facing the almost annihilation of the Pacific Fleet, the morale of the domestic people instantly fell to the bottom. In the end, after bombing Tokyo at all costs, the enemy realized his pain. The new war situation instantly caused all war-weary sentiments in the country to begin to change.

"The Third Kazekage." Thinking of that metal-like face, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. The sand ninja, who had endured the heat, drought, and barrenness of the desert all year round, seemed to be much more tenacious than he had initially guessed. Just like the endless wind and sand in the Kingdom of Wind...

Then, he suddenly opened his mouth and said to the cat-faced ANBU captain in front of him:

"Calling all the ninjas in the village who are not on mission to eliminate the enemies in the territory in the shortest possible time."

An act of enemy revenge, a group of ninjas with a will to die, these enemies are like maggots on the tarsus. Every extra minute of survival will bring more chaos to the Land of Fire. Just like Konoha White Fang led his team deep into the territory of the Sand Ninja during the war, the Sand Ninja at this time adopted the same strategy. But the Konoha of Fire is not the Sand Ninja of Wind. They are destined to never come back.

"Hi" the cat-faced ANBU captain responded immediately. He turned around, but just as he was about to seize the time and leave instantly, the Third Hokage's supplementary voice came again:

"Leave no one behind."

Inexplicably, I interrupted two updates. Sorry, the last two were in good condition and both were big chapters. I had to call out after get off work on Friday because I had something to do. The fart I just let out at the end of the last chapter broke the second. I feel depressed and the author has become less talkative since then.
