Escape From Konoha

Vol 8 Chapter 6: Target

Immediately after the explosion, the people in the mansion were awakened.

The raging fire spread to the surroundings, such a scene was too terrifying, even the first thing the guards thought of was to run away.

But in the face of the duties he performed, he ran towards the well immediately, started to store water with wooden barrels, and ran towards the fire site to put out the fire.

However, the raging fire was unstoppable, and it ran around with the wind, devouring everything recklessly.

A fire at this time is obviously man-made.

It is impossible for a naturally formed fire to become so fierce in a short period of time.

Moreover, in such an important place as the daimyo's mansion, even the servants who worked late at night could not make such a careless mistake.

Besides, Ugly Cow and Chi Ying knew exactly what caused the initial explosion.

The sound of detonators exploding.

The root cause of the fire was that someone used a detonating talisman to detonate the flammable area in the daimyo's mansion, which caused the fire to spread greatly in an instant and could not be stopped.

A premeditated attack is undoubtedly the most troublesome thing, and it is still at a critical moment in the expansion plan of the ghost kingdom.

This matter must be stopped.

"Leave it to me here, and you go to protect the Daimyo of the Bear Country."

No matter what Chi Ying's mission is at the moment, for the Oni Nation, the safety of Daimyo's life is undoubtedly the top priority.

The kingdom of ghosts needs the official name of the kingdom of bears to complete a series of expansion plans in the kingdom of bears.

Daimyo Xiong Guo is one of the key candidates.

If something unexpected happens to him, the plan of Ghost Country in Bear Country will be put on hold for another few years.

Moreover, those sons of the daimyo of the bear country are all mediocre, and the kingdom of ghosts does not need such a mediocre daimyo.

They need an ambitious big name.

Chi Ying nodded seriously, and was about to turn around to leave when suddenly her body froze and she looked at a certain place with gloomy eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Chou Niu saw that Chi Ying's face was different, and asked quickly.

"My shadow clone disappeared."

After the ugly cow heard this, his expression changed slightly.

The technique of shadow clone is different from the general clone technique, and it is also slightly different from the clone of the basic escape technique.

The shadow clone is a kind of entity clone, which has a consciousness independent of the body, and a certain resistance to blows determined by the operator.

Whether it is to actively release the shadow clone or passively release the shadow clone, the memories experienced by the shadow clone will be fed back to the main body.

Therefore, in many cases, the shadow clone is a key ninjutsu used to collect intelligence.

This ninjutsu was developed by the second generation of Konoha Naruto Senju Tomona, and it was originally used for espionage.

Only Chunin and Jonin can master this high-level ninjutsu.

Chiying is a dark child placed by the army of the ghost country in the bear country, so he naturally learned this kind of ninjutsu that is convenient for espionage work.

When in contact with Ugly Bull, he created a shadow clone to protect the safety of Princess Zhuji.

The disappearance of his shadow clone was not canceled actively, but was canceled by the enemy's attack encounter.

This also means that there is a problem with Princess Zhuji.

This was the reason why Chi Ying's face was gloomy.

Chou Niu also understood this, calmed down quickly, and decisively changed the decision just now, and said to Chi Ying: "I will take care of the Daimyo of Xiong Zhiguo, you go and rescue Princess Zhuji. Be careful, you can Defeating your shadow clone will not be a simple ninja."

Chi Ying nodded and disappeared from the spot.

According to the memory sent back when the shadow clone was released from the attack, Chi Ying could determine which direction the enemy fled after taking Princess Zhuji away.

Looking at the direction Chi Ying left, the ugly cow also seemed a little helpless on his simple and honest face.

He sighed, and muttered in a low voice: "That princess has really suffered a lot. Is this the trouble of being a peerless beauty?"

But thinking about it is also true, the woman who offered a reward of 65 million taels in the underground black market is a rare high reward target, and she is one of the few designated living people.

As long as any bounty hunter completes this single business, he can eat and drink without worry for a lifetime. At least he can be chic for a long time without having to work hard for a living.

"No wonder the Daimyo of Xiong Zhiguo asked Chi Ying to protect her. If such an important 'treasure' is not sold for a good price, I will be sorry for her worth."

The life of the nobles does not seem to be as beautiful as imagined.

There are both the glamorous ones and the ugly and greedy ones.

In other words, the attack on the daimyo's mansion this time was also a tragedy caused by that Princess Zhu Ji.

This is also why the ugly cow said that the princess was "multiple catastrophes and disasters".

If the princess could not be rescued, Chiying would lose the trust of the Daimyo of Xiong Zhiguo. For Chiying, the princess was related to his important task, and it was something more important than his own life.

Ugly Bull thought that Chiying's ability was enough to deal with everything over there, so he moved towards the position of Daimyo of the Bear Country with peace of mind.

That Princess Zhu Ji cannot be lost, but the name of the Xiong Kingdom is equally important.

"That idiot princess!"

In the process of running and chasing, Chi Ying cursed in a low voice more than once.

Sure enough, women will only affect his efficiency in completing tasks, and will only cause him such meaningless troubles.

It's just because of his cute face, the bounty hunters in the underground black market are so persistent, this kind of will will not move Chi Ying, but just feel bored.

No matter when, this kind of bounty hunter who is desperate for money is an extremely difficult existence.

Although the military of the Ghost Kingdom also deployed a secret team in the underground black market, the market in the underground black market is so huge that it has connections with daimyos and nobles from all over the world.

The network of relationships is so intricate that it is impossible to untangle it completely.

It's just that no matter how much you yell and curse in a low voice, it can't change the fact that the idiot princess was kidnapped again.

If he can't bring that woman back, then he will have a lot of fun on his side.

The failure of one's own mission is a small matter, if it affects the complete layout of that adult, ten thousand deaths will not be enough to apologize.

"In that direction?"

Although the footprints on the road were very hidden, Chi Ying still found them carefully.

Continue on the trail of the enemy.

This is already outside the capital of the Bear Kingdom, and the huge city in the background is already bustling because of the sudden fire.

The bear country daimyo must have lost his temper there.

Not only was the mansion attacked, but his most cherished daughter was taken away again.

Therefore, to rescue Princess Zhuji as soon as possible is the work that Chi Ying must complete.

The wind is howling.

In the night, a large amount of dust was rolled up, and it hit Chi Ying's body and face fiercely.

This is a wilderness with severe desertification.

The Bear Country is a small resource-scarce country with very little vegetation.

There will also be some deserts near the land of the wind.

Around the Kingdom of Bears, there is a circular canyon that extends to the ground, enclosing the territory of the Kingdom of Bears.

That is the natural barrier used to protect the Bear Country - Hell Valley.

It is said that in ancient times, wars often broke out in the country of bears, and people did not cremate the corpses, but discarded them randomly in the lower part of the valley.

A large number of corpses at the bottom of the valley, mixed with the natural chakra, formed a poisonous gas that is harmful to the human body.

Therefore, the circular canyon surrounding the country of bears is also called Hell Valley.

The direction that Chi Ying is now chasing is approaching the direction of Hell Valley to the south.

Passing through Hell Valley in the south is the desert border of the Kingdom of Wind.

The gravel that has been severely worn by the storm has further protruded from the ground.

The resistance of the storm is also increasing.

Chi Ying, who had been chasing for three hours, didn't feel tired physically, but became a little irritable in his heart.

As we walked forward, the enemy's footprints became weaker and fainter, covered by the wind and sand.

For a long time, Chi Ying had to stay still to carefully survey the enemy's footprints before he could determine his position.

There are also many induced traps.

The bounty hunter who kidnapped Princess Zhu Ji was not alone, but a gang.

There are not only solo bounty hunters running rampant in the underground black market, there are also many bounty hunter organizations composed of multiple people.

When encountering such a group of bounty hunters, it is naturally impossible to chase them down so easily.

"Disappeared?"

Continuing to chase into the half-disappearance, it is getting closer and closer to the border of the Kingdom of Wind.

The footprints up here have completely disappeared.

Chi Ying squatted down, grinding the silver-like fine sand illuminated by the moonlight in his hands, and frowned slightly.

The sand behind him began to bulge slightly.

Two black-clothed ninjas who covered most of their faces with masks jumped out suddenly, holding standard sharp ninja swords in their hands, and mercilessly swung them from behind Chiying.

The blade sliced ​​through the air, piercing through Chi Ying's body together with people.

"!?"

The eyes of the two masked ninjas widened, as if they had seen something extremely incredible.

It's right that the blade hit it... No, no, even if it hits, it's no different from a miss.

Their attacks penetrated through Chiying's body, as if they had hit a phantom projected in the air.

Such a peculiar ninjutsu shocked the minds of the two attackers.

Pooh!

Pooh!

There was a crisp sound on both sides, and the two attackers yelled in pain.

On the backs of the two of them, each had a Kunai inserted.

The two fell to the sandy ground, gasping for breath in pain, their dying posture did not win Chi Ying's sympathy.

"Where did you take that woman?"

Chi Ying squatted down in front of an attacker, holding Kunai in his hand and asked.

The attacker faltered and said nothing.

"Go to **** then."

Without hesitation, Chi Ying swiped the Kunai from the assailant's throat.

Blood spattered on the sand, losing the breath of life.

The other attacker shuddered.

Chi Ying's attitude of harvesting human lives indifferently is indeed intimidating, and he doesn't even give him a chance to hesitate.

"I'm very aware of the vital points of the human body. The extent of the injury is the most painful but not fatal. The kunai stuck in your back will not kill you...Of course, you can choose not to answer."

Chi Ying's face was shrouded in shadow, and his eyes were cold and heartless.

He is not a professional interrogator, but he also knows that in the face of pain and death, most people are unable to fight to the end.

Especially this kind of bounty hunter who is greedy for money and pleasure.

There are many people with strong will, but there are more bounty hunters, when they face death and pain, they are no different from ordinary people.

Now, it is only necessary to amplify the fear in the other party's heart.

Sand dunes near Hell's Hollow to the south.

Chi Ying stood at the entrance of the cave and took a deep look inside, only to see endless darkness.

The crisis hidden inside and the number of enemies are unknown.

Even Chi Ying would not take his own life as a joke.

Stretching out his hand to touch the stone wall of the sand dune, immediately, his whole body merged into the stone wall, walking unimpededly in the stone wall.

It is more convenient than Tudun, this is one of his blood succession limit ability.

Moreover, sneaking into the sand dunes in this way is definitely an unexpected method for the enemy.

There is only the sound of wind and sand blowing in the sand dunes, and the figure of the enemy is not seen, but there are many types of traps.

Fortunately, he didn't break in from the front, otherwise even if it was him, he wouldn't be able to break into the hinterland unscathed.

It was really careful to use so many traps to prevent people from saving that stupid princess.

But he didn't see any trace of the enemy, did he just go out to meet his employer?

No, just be careful. Chi Ying thought to himself.

Instead of rushing to rescue Princess Zhuji, she continued to move among the stone walls of the hill, and after confirming repeatedly that there was no trace of the enemy, Chi Ying was convinced of her judgment.

The bounty hunters who kidnapped Princess Zhuji went to meet their employers.

Or take him back as soon as possible.

Compared with killing the bounty hunters, Chi Ying felt that bringing Princess Zhuji back as soon as possible was the most important thing right now.

These bounty hunters, let them go temporarily.

After finding the room where Princess Zhuji was, she sat there limply leaning against a cold wall.

The fine attire was fairly neat, but there was some dust on his face, and he also looked tired. He must have suffered a lot when he was running around on the road.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Zhu Ji's body trembled slightly, she raised her head, and saw a familiar figure approaching her.

"Uh...uh..."

Because the cloth was stuffed in his mouth, he could only make such a whimpering sound, and his eyes looked very flustered and excited.

Although Chi Ying really wanted to scold this cumbersome princess face to face, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was a part of her own reason for her being taken away by the bounty hunter.

Moreover, even if I don't like this woman very much, she is also the important daughter of Xiong Zhiguo daimyo, so calm down and don't get angry.

A heart like still water is the most important state of mind for a ninja.

Be calm at all times.

Chi Ying checked carefully, and there was no trap around Princess Zhuji.

Whether those bounty hunters were overconfident, or too careless, Chi Ying didn't want to explore such things clearly.

Walking up to Princess Zhuji and squatting down, Chi Ying stretched out his hand towards Princess Zhuji, and took the Busey from her mouth.

"Master Ninja, get out of here!"

"Um?"

Hearing Princess Zhuji's shout, Chi Ying was slightly taken aback, then realized something, stretched out his hand and tore off the outer layer of Chinese clothing in front of Princess Zhuji.

A large number of detonating symbols were attached to Princess Zhu Ji's inner garment, and they burned at an extremely fast speed.

Chi Ying's pupils constricted immediately.

Before she had time to think too much, Chi Ying reached out subconsciously and tore off the detonating talisman attached to Princess Zhuji's inner garment.

—Besides the hill, a figure stood on the sandy ground, his whole body was gathered in a tight black ninja suit, with a mask on his face, almost only a pair of cold eyes were exposed.

The corners of the mouth under the mask seemed to be wriggling.

boom!

Accompanied by a violent explosion, the sand dunes in front of him were destroyed for a moment.

A large number of earth and rocks in the weathered eyes scattered in all directions, and terrifying explosive flames also erupted in all directions.

The night was dyed into day in an instant, and the fiery red light made the surrounding air temperature rise. In the eyes of the black-clothed ninja, the fire was like the karmic fire of red lotus dancing wantonly.

After a slight delay, the strong wind generated by the explosion scattered around more fiercely, and the fireworks generated by the explosion also got a terrifying sublimation again, further expanding and swallowing the sand.

The detonating talisman originally placed on Princess Zhuji was just a decoy mechanism. At the moment of explosion, it would also explode along with the other mechanisms in the dune.

No matter how strong a ninja is, he will inevitably feel powerless when faced with such a scene.

The human body is made of flesh and blood, so it is unable to compete with the detonating talisman, which has a super-destructive nature.

The black-clothed ninja confirmed this, and the next moment he seemed to sense something, and his brows frowned slightly.

Like a peacock spreading its tail, several pairs of beautiful chakra wings spread out from behind.

With a slight vibration of these wings in the air, the black-clothed ninja flew into the sky with great ease, his sharp and cold eyes fixed on the center of the sea of ​​flames.

"Interesting. In this case, not only can the hostage be protected, but the hostage is not dead."

If it was a head-on confrontation, it would be impossible for him to be his opponent. This point, the black ninja is very sure.

In the center of the sea of ​​flames, most of Chi Ying's body was burned. His ragged clothes looked like a beggar on the roadside. Blood flowed from his head and flowed into his eyes, causing the scene in front of him to turn a strange red.

Behind him is the body of Princess Zhu Ji.

Only a small part of the clothes were burned, and the long black hair, which was originally neat, was also messy and covered with dust. Overall, it's safe and sound.

The ninja in black was naturally surprised when he saw this scene.

"In the face of the great horror of life and death, it is really tricky to be a ninja who is loyal to the Lord. Wouldn't it be easier to die directly in the previous explosion?"

His words were just whispers, so the people below naturally couldn't hear them.

"Master Ninja... your body..."

Princess Zhuji gasped in horror, almost thinking that she was dead.

After escaping from the catastrophe, he saw the young man standing in front of him desperately, using his flesh and blood to block all the attacks, his beautiful face also showed a deep worry, and his eyes also flashed a hint of distress.

Why did Master Ninja do this to such an extent?

As a vase, I know very well what the value of my existence is.

A person like myself is not worth anyone's life to save.

Therefore, in that situation, even if Chi Ying left her, she would not resent her. No, there is no reason to resent.

As a commodity, if I don't have this kind of self-awareness, it will be difficult to live under the protection of daimyo.

I am used to submissiveness, and resistance is futile.

Because of this, Chi Ying's determination to protect herself desperately made Zhu Ji, who is a princess, very puzzled.

No matter how devoted one is to one's duty, life should not be given up so easily.

Sometimes, giving up is the best option.

Ninjas... What kind of existence are they? Princess Zhu Ji was once again confused by the position of ninja.

Chi Ying panted, trying to keep his voice down as much as possible, so as not to let the enemy see that he was at the end of his battle.

It is not absolute to say that it is careless.

Because he never expected that the enemy would place detonating symbols on such an important "cargo" as Zhuji.

That doesn't fit the definition of a bounty hunter at all.

At this moment, Chi Ying looked up at the black-clothed ninja in the sky, clenching his teeth in pain.

Got it.

The opponent's goal was not Princess Zhuji from the beginning, but him, the guard!

been counted.

Princess Zhu Ji was just a bait to lure him into the trap.

If the target is Princess Zhu Ji, placing the detonating talisman is too much.

If the goal was him, then the result would be different.

The other party is not a bounty hunter at all.

From the very beginning, his guess with Ugly Bull was wrong.

"It's really tenacious, but your future will come to an end here."

The black-clothed ninja took a pity on his talent.

It is such a pity that such a respectable and talented ninja died here.

However, the ninja world is so cruel.

Killing each other is also the norm.

It doesn't matter whether the means are mean or not, the important thing is to win.

"Not always."

Although he knew that he was the one who was at an extreme disadvantage, Chi Ying had no intention of admitting defeat.

"Master Ninja..."

Before Princess Zhuji behind her finished speaking, Chi Ying had already turned around quickly, wrapping her left arm around Zhuji's soft body.

"ah!"

Chi Ying's actions naturally made Zhu Ji subconsciously cry out, her face flushed.

Although he had been in close contact with Chiying before, it was the first time he had such an ambiguous posture in his arms.

For the innocent princess, it is no less exciting than experiencing it for the first time, and the nerves of the whole body are all sensitive.

"Don't worry, you are my important person, and I will protect you even if I die."

The firm words rang in Princess Zhuji's ears, and her body trembled slightly.

The wind rolled the fire, and red sparks flew in the air.

Looking at Chiying's young but resolute and calm face, Princess Zhuji felt that she had never been so fascinated by a man.

Can't help ~www.readwn.com~Princess Zhuji stretched out her hands and hugged Chiying's neck tightly.

"I believe in you, Ninja-sama."

"?"

What strange things is this princess with a problematic mind thinking about?

baffling.

However, something was pressing against his chest, and his breathing was a bit uncomfortable.

Women always grow useless fat in boring places.

However, it is not a lie to say that he is desperately protecting this troubled princess.

Because if I stop here, I can't even protect a good-for-nothing princess, how can I become the shadow behind that lord and sweep away all obstacles in front of him?

All this was done for the sake of that adult.
