Remnant bones

Chapter 28: Draw or lose, the end of Chapter 1...

I touched the special storage warehouse of the secret place of the Presbyterian Church all the way, until the Biye Luoqi I got was sealed in the scroll I carried with me, my infiltration still did not attract the attention of any sand ninja.The completion of the task this time was terrifyingly smooth.But in this regard, I am not too surprised and uneasy.Emotions are something that only rookies will bring into missions.

Relying on the "snake pupil" of my right eye, it is easy to avoid those ninjas who are open and hidden, with my speed and skill.Fortunately, there is a floor sign at the stairway on the first floor, which saves me from looking down slowly from floor to floor, as long as I walk to the place marked with "restricted area".

The only thing that surprised me was that I didn't see the Elder Taiyin Sandin who was supposed to be in charge, let alone an elder, there were only a few shadows hidden in a few dark places far away, and there were still It's just the level of elite Chunin.Knocking down one at a time is just a matter of effort for me.Presumably, no one expected that as Anbu, he would be attacked in the dark.Even after death, their faces were full of unbelief.

Still, the smooth process doesn't make me let my guard down.After all, it's not those novices who complete the mission for the first time. Relaxing at the critical moment is the biggest taboo for a warrior!

Since Anbu, who killed the guard, even if there is no movement, the shift change after 15 minutes will still reveal my whereabouts.So after that, I immediately retreated the same way without any hesitation.However, when I was retreating, I accidentally passed by somewhere, and the voices from inside caught my attention.

At first, I didn't intend to stay.Relying on a little bit of strength to act boldly and think that they are invincible, only those little devils who are still playing ninja games at school will have such an idiotic cognition.However, everyone is curious, and a few specific words in the words made me stop involuntarily.

After identifying the identities of the two of them, I didn't know until then that the elder who was in charge of keeping the medicine had just been called out for something.I happened to pick up a defensive loophole.

The sandy secret revealed in the conversation between the two made me prick up my ears.All the news about the "Renjuriki" in each large ninja village is at the top of the list with the highest level of confidentiality.If it is not an insider, or someone who has experienced it personally, even if they sneak into the village, it will be difficult for spies from other villages to collect enough useful information.

Orochimaru, as a former high-level Konoha Ninja Village, and a personal experience of the Nine-Tails incident, it is no secret to me about Nine-Tails' "Inchūriki".I don't know whether Orochimaru is interested in the "Inchuriki" of Sand Hidden Village, but the value of this piece of information is definitely not low, and it may become a powerful bargaining chip for me to negotiate with Orochimaru in the future.At least, it's worth the risk I am now...

The cat's body was hidden on a beam at the exit, and I adjusted my breathing rhythm to restrain the breath in my whole body.Always be alert to the movement around you, and at the same time pay attention to the content of the conversation between the two.Filter out useless nonsense, and refuse to let go of any information other than this.Now I don't need to understand, what I should do is to record the content and tone of his speech in the shortest possible time, without letting go of any details.

Collecting information is actually not as simple as ordinary people imagine.You must know that, depending on the environment and background, what the provider says may not necessarily be the "truth"... When the relationship between the other party is bad, there are many cases of irony.If you don't check carefully, you misunderstand the meaning... Unlucky, there may not be only one person, but the person involved must be one of them.

However, the fact that Sand Hidden's "Inchuriki" is the son of the fourth Kazekage really surprised me.In fact, compared to other villages, the existence of Shayin's "Renzhuli" is completely an open "secret" among major countries.Moreover, ordinary people's views on "Renzhuli" are the same as people in the land of water view the Blood Successor Boundary. They obviously rely on the other party's power, but refuse to admit it, and therefore have inexplicable hatred and fear for it. It is a "monster" that does all kinds of evil.

The Fourth Kazekage actually did not hesitate to ruin his son's future life, but chose to use heresy ways to obtain powers that did not belong to him.Another "lunatic" who blindly pursues power and strength...

No matter which world it is, people who are beyond their limits always account for the vast majority, but the development direction of these worlds is determined by these "lunatics"... People... are indeed a complex product of contradictions and mutual dissolution.

As for the defect they mentioned... Is it the mental burden caused by the incomplete seal?Compared with Konoha's "Ghoul Ban", Sand Yin's achievements in sealing ninjutsu are indeed much worse...

This point, maybe it can be used... There was a hint of emotionless calculation in the gold and silver eyes.I think the "results" of this mission may be unexpectedly rich...

Until the quarrel between the two, it was obvious that it had come to an end.From the beginning to the end, I didn't attract the attention of any of them, but just as I was about to leave, a dark red glow in a dark corner between the beams made my spirit tense.No, it was discovered!

"Which 'little mouse' is hiding there!? Come out for me!" Sure enough, at almost the same time, the old woman named Chiyo stopped her steps to leave.However, she asked me to come out, and I came out... It's strange.I'm not an idiot...

I have no heroic plot, but I have no intention of responding to her questioning.Escaping through an open exit is obviously unlikely.The most urgent thing is to immediately transfer the location of your hiding place is the first choice.

I didn't have time to find out where I was showing my feet, just as I judged, after the old woman under me let out a snarl, followed by a fierce attack from an unknown person.I, who had been aware of it for a long time, dodged in time.At the same time, he sneaked into the rising smoke and dust, hiding his tracks.

According to the situation at the time, I decisively chose to kill people.Of course, I don't have the ability to deal with an elder.But just a Jonin word... easy!

Pulling out "Bai Ji" with his backhand, relying solely on his physical strength and speed, he unknowingly sneaked behind that middle-aged Anbu.Close your blade and draw your sword!Decapitate with one blow!

Swiping the blood on the jade white blade, I was hidden in the darkness again.Looking at the gorgeous blood splashed on the ground, a sneer flashed in the bottom of the silver-gray pupils.It's not a good thing to get used to the inertial logic of "only ninjas can deal with ninjas"... Even without CKL, I still have more than [-] ways to "solve" them!

But... the "thing" that attacked me just now, could it be... Looking at the mother-in-law Chiyo in the middle of the field, who was obviously furious because of my actions, I couldn't help frowning.If it is really that "thing", my luck is really not ordinary... I actually ran into the biggest "nail" in the first battle!

Seemingly knowing that I would not answer if I asked again, Grandma Chiyo resorted to violence.She stretched her fingers inexplicably a few times, and a black shadow in another blind spot suddenly swayed and disappeared.When it appeared again, it was behind me!

With a crisp sound of "Bang!", after the first confrontation between the weapons of the two sides, I was forced to retreat from the dark place by the opponent's frantic fighting style, exposing my figure.

Having achieved the purpose of this attack, the black shadow simply withdrew his hand and hovered behind Chiyo Grandma, the red light in his eyes flashed away.

With a tall body and a mechanical face, although the movements are quite flexible, they are already flexible enough to exceed the limits of what humans can do.In addition to the strength and speed that did not match the body shape, as well as the extremely thin CKL silk thread extending from the limbs and joints, it is now connected to the hands of Grandma Chiyo.The identity of this unknown attacker is self-evident.

"Sure enough, it's puppet art..." I couldn't help but groaned, I shook it imperceptibly, and was almost numb by the opponent's wrist.That's a lot of strength... Thanks to "Bai Ji" being strong enough, if an ordinary sword is hit by the opponent, it will definitely be over immediately!However, after all, people become mature!This old guy is hard to deal with...

Looking at the black figure half kneeling on the ground not far away, Grandma Chiyo frowned.Although the previous attack was mainly aimed at probing and persecuting, but the other party's attire really did not reveal any valuable information.It's okay to wear black all over, but there is no forehead protection for ordinary dark part identification, and the mask used to hide the face is not a conventional mask, but a black mask.Apart from the height and frame, it can be seen that the other party is not very old, and the weapons and clothing don't look like ninjas, but more like... samurai?I really don't know when there are such characters among those idiots who only know "Bushido" on their lips!

However, if you don't see anything in the clothes, let's just say it...

"Finally willing to come out honestly? Little guy! 'Little Mouse' seems to be quite happy!" Chiyo's mother-in-law's sneering tone sounded unpleasant to the outside.

It's just... don't you think this old-fashioned aggressive method is a bit outdated?

Raising my eyebrows, I decided to pretend to be deaf and dumb until the end, completely ignoring what the other person said.Without the slightest hesitation, I chose to preemptively strike, and attacked the Chiyo mother-in-law who was the manipulator every month.However, as I expected, the black puppet behind him flickered and attacked me with incredible agility.

With a slight pause in my footsteps, I suddenly lowered my body and dodged the sharp blade on the opponent's arm.Looking up slightly, he calmly swung the knife into the gap between its left arm and body, and twisted the right hand holding the knife handle, but only heard a weak muffled sound of "click", the expected dismemberment did not appear.

It's so tough... This puppet doesn't look cheap!Although my bone knife is not as sharp as Junmalu's bone knife, it is not comparable to ordinary famous knives.Orochimaru had good knives in stock, but I scrapped more than one or two.If you still can't open it like this, it must be made of special materials!

The puppet who reacted swung his right arm and swept over.The right foot hit the ground and flew back. I used my strength to get out of its attack range, but my arms were still numb from its strength.Next time I will consider wearing protective gear...

Taking the opportunity to catch my breath, I didn't attack rashly again.The method of dealing with ordinary puppets cannot be used, and the maker obviously has specially strengthened its weaknesses. In this case, it will take a lot of effort to dismantle it.After all, most of the moves that I was familiar with were basically useless in order to avoid revealing my identity.However, my purpose is not here, and there is no need to head-on.What's more, it would be a pity not to use such a good "target" as a trial move!

"Moon step!" Like a phantom, accompanied by an afterimage, I withdrew my knife and rushed under the black puppet.

"Diaoping!" Putting my arms on the ground, I mercilessly kicked its lower jaw with one foot, and then stepped on its heart, knocking that figure, which is much taller than ordinary people, hard because of the impact. And vacated a few meters.

"Windmill!" Without getting up, I turned around with the strength of my arms, clamped the neck of the falling puppet with my feet, and slammed the puppet to the ground with my waist strength and gravity.With a loud bang, the stone brick ground dropped half a meter, but my attack did not end.Without letting go of my feet the whole time, I do a back flip and throw it straight into the air.

"Tianchong. Baiya!" With a low growl, I made an attack gesture, and thrust the "Baiji" in my hand into the ground forcefully.Then take a step forward and swing the knife from bottom to top.The bursting moon-white wind blade accurately hit the puppet's abdomen, driving it deep into the wall.

A series of coherent and fast chain attacks made me breathe a sigh of relief when I used it completely for the first time.Practicing alone is really not enough, but actual combat is more enjoyable!It's been a long time since I made a move...

Looking at the puppet's body sunken deep in the wall, the huge knife mark was almost severed in half.The well-informed mother-in-law Chiyo couldn't help but her face changed slightly, and her heart was filled with astonishment.It's just knife skills, not ninjutsu... unexpectedly someone can do this! ?For ordinary people, the result is really nothing but broken bones... But, puppets are not human after all.

"Squeak..." The dull head shook slightly, and there was an ear-piercing rubbing sound.From the looks of it, that attack did a lot of damage to it!Although he didn't feel any pain, the flexibility of his limbs was obviously not as good as before, and his steps were also precarious.It didn't break in two... what a miracle!

When I restore myself to the greatest extent because of this big move, I have exhausted my excessive physical strength.The old and mature Chiyo mother-in-law was not idle either, her hands seemed to be pulling invisible silk threads, manipulating the puppets that had not completely disintegrated to attack.

Calmly tilting his head to avoid the opponent's attack.It slowed down a lot of movements before, and now it is more difficult to pose a threat to me.However, I forgot that puppets are not known for their physical attacks. What they are best at... is poison!

"Crack! Puff--" The arm made of metal suddenly cracked a hole, and something like a pipe mouth stretched out towards me, which shocked me.There was only a soft sound, and the dark green gas, which was not a good thing no matter how you looked at it, shot out like a gust of wind.The pungent smell made me subconsciously cover my mouth and nose with my arms crossed, and I bowed and flew back.

"Hmph..." I couldn't help but snorted softly, the moment the poisonous gas hit, I was already standing outside the effective range.Even I believe that no one can react faster than me.But where my arms were contaminated with gas, the "squeaky" sound of the clothes being corroded, and the burning sensation of the wound still made my eyes flash with a trace of cruelty.

It's actually corrosive poisonous gas... Trouble!Looking at the seriously injured left arm, two-thirds of the skin surface of the entire forearm began to be mixed with blood and turned black.But I don't know if it's because of its strong resistance, the erosion speed of this strong poisonous gas is not as fast as imagined.

Pulling out a sealed glass test tube pinned to my belt, I twisted the seal with my right hand that only touched a little, and poured the milky white liquid on the wound.Almost in the blink of an eye, the rapidly gelatinized liquid tightly covered the wound.The cooling effect immediately eased the pain.

A hint of surprise flashed in Chiyo's eyes, but it was more of a malicious banter.

The ominous premonition came very suddenly. Although the other party and the half-useful puppet did not make any next move, I still chose to trust the intuition I had formed over the years, and held the knife in my right hand across my left.In an instant, a terrifying force knocked me out of the air!

"Bai Secret Skill. Yu Chrysanthemum. Chong!" With the clear and ear-sounding whisper, the weird and unusual insect-shaped puppet appeared in my original position.Although the head remains humanoid, the part below the abdomen looks like... a centipede! ?

What an ugly fellow... this old woman has bad taste!I was still in the air, but I took the time to evaluate the appearance of this new enemy.It's not that I underestimate the enemy, it's just...

Looking sideways at the direction I was flying out of, my eyebrows were slightly raised under the black veil lifted by the wind.He took out a phalanx that he took out casually, and wrapped a layer on it with his unique dual-attribute CKL.Then he shook his hand and threw it in the direction directly in front of Grandma Chiyo's line of sight.

"Fengming. Suddenly Yanhua. Jane!" As if talking to myself, I murmured softly.

"Boom...!!!" What followed was a huge explosion that was completely opposite in size.In a blink of an eye, the broken rocks that exploded due to the explosion scattered everywhere, and the dust that was raised made the entire hall full of smoky atmosphere.Let alone ten meters away, being able to see clearly within three meters is a miracle.

Vigilantly recruiting the two puppets to his side, the puppet master's body is always his weakness, and the Chiyo mother-in-law, who has a high self-esteem, dare not be careless.After all, this guy who looks like a samurai is not as easy to deal with as an ordinary samurai.She has seen that sharp saber technique before!

However, the surprise was that after a long time after the smoke dissipated, the opponent's attack was not seen for a long time.At this moment, Grandma Chiyo realized that the hall was empty except for herself.I was tricked... From the very beginning, the other party didn't intend to keep pestering her, the purpose of all this was just to retreat!

"Hehe...hahaha..." Interesting little guy!Unexpectedly, Grandma Chiyo was not angry, but smiled happily.This made an old man who heard the sound couldn't help but have doubts on his face.

"Sister? What are you laughing at? Just now a plant of Biye Luoqi was lost in the storage warehouse, and four Anbu died. Could the black shadow that flashed past before be the intruder?" Grandma Chiyo's younger brother - Ebi Hidden, asked strangely.

"A very interesting little guy! So the purpose is medicinal materials? It really doesn't look like a ninja!" Putting away the two puppets, Grandma Chiyo chuckled in a rare good mood.Turning around to greet his younger brother, he walked away: "Let's go back."

"Huh? Don't chase?" It's been a long time since I saw my sister smiling so happily...

"No need, let those Anbe guys chase after them! If you can catch them, hehe..." Giving an incomprehensible answer, Grandma Chiyo hummed and walked towards her residence.

Behind him, the confused Hai Laozang followed.

"The first round... seems to be a 'draw'." Standing on the branch of the tree at the exit, I looked at the underground secret room that was in chaos due to the sound of the explosion, touched my injured left arm, and whispered to myself.Even though I said that, in essence, I... still "lost"!

Hidden in the sand... Elder Qiandai... In the dark, several black shadows rushed towards my direction.Turning around and leaving without any hesitation, the silver blue in the left eye has recovered, but the snake pupil in the right eye has not faded for a long time.Recalling what he had heard, the crazy look disappeared in a blink of an eye: "The game is not over yet, the second round...we will wait and see."

The task doesn't seem to be as "boring" as imagined...

The sky is slightly bright, and the streets of Shayin Village are still roaring with a dry yellow wind, and the sand and soil are flying.There was no one in sight on the empty road.No one would like to hang out on the street in this kind of weather.A good night's sleep in a warm blanket is undoubtedly the best choice, but it is not absolute.

A small figure was lying in front of the window, with big emerald green eyes open, looking at the world on the other side of the glass.There is no light in the room, it is very big, but there is a lonely atmosphere everywhere.The red-haired boy seemed to have no intention of going to sleep at all, and he had been sitting there for some time, quietly, without making any noise.

Suddenly, a white shadow flashed past the window filled with yellow sand.The boy blinked, as if to make sure he was not dazzled.There was a hint of curiosity on the previously expressionless little face.

Turning his head to look at the gap under the dark door, hesitant emotions struggled in his eyes for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, the boy jumped off the edge of the bed and carefully opened the door.After poking his head out and looking around the living room, he made sure that the others were still awake, so he tiptoed and slipped to the entrance.After putting on his shoes without making a sound, he opened the door and left the house privately.

The oncoming wind and sand made him narrow his eyes subconsciously.After getting used to the outside environment, he recognized the direction and groped all the way to a deep alley with no one there.

Frustrated and looking for the wrong place, the red-haired boy kicked off the stone at his feet, and when he was about to go home, he touched the cold blade against his delicate neck.With a chill colder than desert nights...

"Little ghost... Your mother didn't teach you, don't you go out alone... Especially following a stranger." The low hoarse voice, in the dim environment, reveals a trace of weirdness.

found it……

There is no fear, the boy's green eyes are simply filled with these three words.
