The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 81 The Inexplicable Enemy

"Master Tufang, since the other party attacked us, it is absolutely impossible for us to leave safely. They must have laid a net around them. The reason why they have not launched an attack now must be that they do not want more casualties, so we still have a chance. "

Uncle Mita's death filled Rikimaru with anger, but he knew that this was not the time to be angry, and their crisis had not been resolved.

So far, they have not found any traces of the enemy, which shows that although the opponent has been prepared, but the strength is obviously not enough to completely crush them, otherwise they will not attack secretly, but crush them directly.

Shiro Hijikata frowned, "You mean, the other party is also afraid of us?"

For Fujiwara Rikimaru, he is still more polite. The other party is not only Jiraiya's disciple, but also is valued by Orochimaru. Even though he is only a chunin now and his level is lower than him, his status is actually not lower than him, and it will be even more so in the future. will surpass him.

So he could still listen to what Rikimaru said.

"Why do you think the other party did this? The companions in the stronghold must have been eliminated by them in order to ambush us, but we are all wounded, what is worth them doing?"

Rikimaru didn't answer Hijikata Shiro's words, but instead asked his own doubts, because he really couldn't figure out why the other party wanted to intercept and kill them worthless wounded in the land of fire?

"Yeah, who should we care about?" The others were also confused.

Only Hijikata Shiro's eyes twitched: "Could it be?"

Rikimaru saw Hijikata Shiro's expression changed, and immediately asked: "Master Hijikata, do you have any secrets? It's already at this point, is there anything else you can't tell?"

Seeing Rikimaru and the others staring at him, Hijikata Shiro hesitated: "Before leaving, Master Orochimaru handed me a scroll and said that we should give it to the person who handed over to us. Is it because of this scroll? Maybe, only me and Oshemaru know about this matter, and I didn't tell anyone."

"reel?"

Rikimaru thought about it for a while, but he didn't think there was anything strange. It is very likely that Orochimaru has some information or news to tell the Third Hokage, and it is normal not to tell them.

"Whatever the reason, we are now surrounded by the enemy."

Hijikata Shiro thought for a while, and then said: "There is a problem with the stronghold and the news that we were ambushed must be passed on. Now we don't know the enemy's situation, but we need to cover one person to leave and pass the news on."

"Who's going?"

Everyone stopped talking immediately, everyone knew that the one under cover had the highest chance of surviving, but no one could open that mouth.

Riki didn't make a sound either. In fact, when it comes to the ability to escape, all the people here combined are inferior to him, but because of this, he can't snatch this opportunity. He has other ways to leave, but the others just Without his abilities.

Hijikata Shiro continued: "If you want to break out and ask for help, you must have a certain strength. I am not suitable, and the injured person is not suitable, so, you three, who will go?"

He was asking three of his team members. As for Rikimaru and the other four wounded, he ignored them. Except for Rikima, the other three wounded didn't open their mouths even though their faces changed, acquiescing to Hijikata Shiro's words. choose.

In the end, none of the three made a decision, and Hijikata Shiro made his own decision.

"Chun, you are the fastest, you will break through, and we will cover you."

Called by Hijikata Shiro, the Chunin named 'Jun' was shocked, "Me?"

Hijikata Shiro: "I want to stay. You are the fastest among us except me. It is the best choice for you to break through. You can go to the nearest stronghold and bring enough people to support you. Understand? ?”

The situation was urgent, and he didn't give time to think about it, so he directly made a decision privately.

Chunin Chun no longer hesitated, "Yes, captain, I will do my best."

Breaking through seems dangerous, but compared to those who stayed behind, they are undoubtedly luckier.

"They're here!"

Rikimaru's ears suddenly moved. After several years of ninja career, and the fact that he made a big fuss in Yuno Country before, his combat experience has been greatly improved, especially in terms of sensitivity. Although it is not as good as a perceptual ninja, his hearing is not weak. , compared to Hijikata Shiro, a Junin, he had to observe the movement of the opponent one step earlier.

Hijikata Shiro's face changed: "I don't have time to say anything else, everyone, we don't know who the enemy is until now, but it is definitely not an ordinary enemy, so for ourselves and for our lives, we can only do everything we can."

Including Riki, everyone has experienced all kinds of fights, so even in a critical moment, they are not as scared as imagined, and they all look cautious.

"coming!"

Without saying hello, Hijikata Shiro rushed out of the bushes suddenly. After he rushed out, several figures rushed out from other positions, and rushed towards Hijikata Shiro at a very fast speed. At the same time, more figures rushed towards Rikimaru where they hide.

"go!"

Rikimaru gave a low shout to that Chunin Jun, and then said to the others: "I'll use my ability later, be careful."

After speaking, he disappeared under the surprised gazes of the others.

Although Rikimaru's ability is no secret among the high-level people, for ordinary ninjas, few people know that he has the ability to be invisible.

"Earth escape..."

The other two Chunin were also experienced in combat. One of them quickly used Earth Dungeon to form a defensive wall around them, while the Chunin Jun took the opportunity to leave.

After Rikimaru disappeared, he quickly moved away from the others. He could clearly see that Hijikata Shiro had already fought with four or five opponents, and at the same time, there were several figures heading towards where they were before.

One of them saw the sudden appearance of the Earth Dun defense wall, and immediately prepared to use ninjutsu to destroy it.

"Pfft!"

A sharp blade pierced through his chest, pierced from the back, and protruded directly from the front chest, killing him with one blow.

After killing the opponent with one blow, Rikimaru immediately sped up and retreated, because several people noticed him and rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed.

"Clang clang clang..."

There were six people who killed Riki, which made him very surprised. How many people are there?Especially after he made a move, there were so many people besieging him in the first place, rushing from all angles, without giving him the slightest step back.

"Why do they seem to be targeting me on purpose?"

He felt something was wrong right away. You must know that Hijikata Shiro rushed out first, showing impressive strength, and there were only four or five people besieging him.

But he was just a wounded Chunin, and he was still a young man. Even if he killed one person, there wouldn't be so many people rushing towards him in an instant. It gave him the feeling that they were deliberately targeting him.
