Hokage: Let Suffering Never Fly

Chapter 54 The Price ([-])

After Gaia took the bread he handed over, Yahiko turned around and fled back into the shadows.

He really didn't want to face the ninja so close.

He once saw a ninja attacking an ordinary person near the gathering place. In just a moment, that person's head fell off, and his wide eyes just looked at Yahiko at the side. That kind of fear made Yahiko feel uncomfortable for a long time. Couldn't sleep.

"It tastes good." Gaia dipped the bread into the leftover chicken soup, and it tasted delicious.

"By the way, senior, you must have been using this pot for many years."

Although Maruboshi Kosuke wanted to remind Gaia, but when he thought that the other party was the top medical ninja in Konoha, even if the bread was poisonous, it could not hurt Gaia.

"No, when I was participating in a large-scale operation one year, everyone laughed at me, saying that I took the blame every day, like a cook... Once, the weather changed, and hail suddenly fell, so I took the blame on my head. One cap, don’t tell me, it’s more effective than anything else.”

"After the hailstorm passed, I saw that many brothers had bruised noses and swollen faces... I was very happy at that time."

……

When they were in Konoha, they often gathered around the fire and chatted about some interesting things.

At this moment, even Yahiko and Konan on the side were listening with rapt attention.

"Gaia, you don't want to talk about your past." Kosuke Maruhoshi suddenly said after he finished talking about what happened to him during a mission.

The other three are also curious about Gaia's past.

"Nothing to say." Gaia used the branch in her hand to dig at the fire.

"When I was five years old, I was just like them...I became an orphan because of the war." Gaia pointed to the two people beside him, "It is only by stealing things that I can barely make ends meet. Going to the garbage dump is like going home..."

"Later, because of a chance, relying on that thing, I barely stabilized..."

"If it wasn't for Shengshu, I guess it would still be a doctor in the nearby gathering place..."

"Do you want to go back and have a look?" Naoki asked.

"I want to, but... there will be a chance in the future."

Just when Gaia was about to end this topic, she suddenly sensed several ninjas approaching.

"Someone is coming!" Gaia's words were not questioned, because when they were in Konoha, they all knew that Gaia also mastered some kind of secret technique of perception.

The four of them started preparing for battle at the same time.

"No, there are more and more! There are at least two hundred!" Within Gaia's perception range, more and more ninjas are gathering, and the target is obvious, where they are.

exposed?The four of them were about to leave here immediately, and Maruyoshi Kosuke skillfully put the black pot behind him.

"Don't move." Gaia said to the two people inside before leaving.

If the other party's target is them, then there will be no danger for these two children to stay here.

"Breakout." After leaving the entrance of the cave, Kosuke Maruhoshi made a decisive decision and led the three of them to break out in the direction of Konoha.

"Naoki, don't do stupid things." Maruhoshi Kosuke reminded Naoki.

It is definitely not a coincidence that the other party dispatched so many people at once.

Among them, only the rope tree has this value.

No matter what the other party's intention is, the rope tree must be returned to the village safely.

If the rope tree has a seizure and wants to take this opportunity to escape, it will put everyone in danger.

He glanced at Gaia, and put aside the thought that shouldn't have in his mind.

Gaia...cannot betray them.

In the dark night, the specific number and distribution of the opponent cannot be clearly seen, so one can only judge by Gaia's words.

If there were only a few dozen people, Kosuke Maruhoshi felt that with the strength of the four of them, a head-on battle would not be a problem.

But if the number of enemies is unclear and there may be reinforcements, then fighting is not a wise choice.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer, but the opponent has never used ninjutsu and ninjutsu, which means that the opponent's goal is to capture them alive.

With only a dozen meters left, Gaia took the lead in throwing a few kunai and fell into the opponent's camp.

With a few bangs and screams, a breakthrough appeared in the encirclement.

The four of them walked directly through the encirclement along the breakthrough opened by Gaia.

During the short-distance contact, Gaia saw the costumes of the ninjas surrounding them. This unique costume is Yuren.

Moreover, although it is close to the Land of Rain, it is definitely not in the hinterland of the Land of Rain. There should not be such a large-scale gathering of rain ninja.

In addition to their reluctance to use large-scale ninjutsu just now, it is obvious that they want to capture them alive...

In Gaia's judgment, only rope trees have this value.

This also means that Naoki's information has been mastered by the other party.

Gaia was puzzled.

Should not be.

It rains all year round in the Rain Country, and the traces they left will soon be washed away by the rain... By what means did the other party obtain their information?
and many more!

What's going on with this chakra...

In Gaia's perception, an extremely powerful chakra source is approaching them.

Extremely fast.

In Gaia's cognition, even his teacher Tsunade had never given him such a sense of oppression.

This is more like a few days ago, when Hiruzaru Sarutobi learned that Naoki had left the village privately, he felt oppressive because of his anger.

"The person who came is very strong..." Gaia then added: "Stronger than Tsunade-sensei... I feel very close to Hokage-sama."

Gaia also knows who is coming...

And Kosuke Maruyoshi also knew.

In the Land of Rain, only Sansho Hanzo, known as the demigod of the ninja world, has this kind of strength.

Maruhoshi Kosuke knew what the other party was planning.

Nowadays, the Kingdom of Rain is the place where the three great powers, namely the Kingdom of Fire, the Kingdom of Earth, and the Kingdom of Wind, are at war.

As the ruler of the Kingdom of Rain, Sanshouyu Hanzo naturally does not want to see his country reduced to ruins because of the battlefields of great powers.

But although Sanshouyu Hanzo is strong, he cannot resist the invasion of three major powers at the same time.

But now, the existence of Zhishu gave him this opportunity...

If he could hold Rope Tree hostage, he would definitely be able to force Konoha to make some degree of concession.

The only thing he didn't understand was how the rope tree's information was leaked.

"Dai, you will run away with them later."

"Be sure to take Nakoki back." Maruhoshi Kosuke's tone of farewell made Nakoki's heart tingle.

It was because of himself that his partner fell into such a dangerous situation.

"Don't be in a daze, let's go." Gaia patted Naoki's shoulder with a palm, "We can leave after Senior Gu Jie."

With Maruhoshi Kosuke's strength, he would definitely be unable to fight... But if he escapes, it's not like he has a chance.

But at this moment, Kosuke Maruhoshi wants to buy time for the three of them to run away...

Fighting against such a strong person, even if it is to delay time, is quite dangerous!
