Hikaru Hokage

So the purpose of his trip was just to win over Konoha in terms of face.

"Yes!"

Chapter 86 It would be nice if I could do magic

After traveling in the Kingdom of Earth until they were approaching Iwagakure Village, Yuhi Mako and his team finally discovered the traces of the ninjas of Kumogakure Village.

"Illusion!"

Magic·Tree Bound Kill!

Then everyone quickly caught a lone Kumo ninja with the help of Hino Hikaru.

Now Yuhi Zhenhong is performing illusion torture on the other party.

illusion...

It's really an eye-catching ninjutsu.

Watching Yuhi Makoto treat the captured Kumo ninja into submission in just a few clicks, and basically saying whatever he asked, Hino Hikaru expressed quite a lot of envy.

It's a pity that his little chakra is not qualified to use ninjutsu like genjutsu.

"The army of Yunyin Village and the people of Yanyin Village seem to have entered into a temporary truce and stalemate. The people of Yunyin Village did not attack, and the people of Yanyin Village did not come out."

After arriving near Yanyin Village, the group soon saw the densely packed military camps in Yunyin Village.

And the Iwagakure Village huddled in a series of high-walled earthen castles.

"However, not long ago, Ai and Kirabi from Hidden Cloud Village have left their camp with a group of elites, and their target is our Konoha."

Yuhi Mahong explained the information she had just obtained, and then unfolded the map in the open space in front of her.

"But their route is different from ours. They will pass through the Country of Grass and reach our border in the shortest distance."

"learn."

Nara Shikaku took out a homing pigeon that had been prepared for a long time, and then put all the information that Yuhi Mahong just said on the pigeon's leg.

"The large troops from Kumogakure Village have indeed not moved towards Konoha. This is really good news."

Looking at the carrier pigeon flying away, Aburame Zhiwei also expressed her opinion.

"Yes, Minato's team should have already set off from Konoha. Now we only need to secretly follow this elite team from Hidden Cloud Village and find an opportunity to meet up with Minato's troops. Our mission will be considered completed. "

-

Everything seemed to be going well.

Everyone was even on their way back to the village.

But Hino Hikaru was already starting to feel uneasy.

The mission goes well and he plans to return to the village, the ninjas from Hidden Cloud Village are nearby, and they haven't discovered us yet. These three conditions are almost exactly the same as during his first mission.

And, sure enough, the Kumoyin Village ninja who "taught him a lesson" and killed his companions on the mission to leave the village was among these people.

Want revenge?

As soon as Hino Hikaru came up with this idea, he couldn't help but want to laugh at himself.

Several years had passed since that mission, and he no longer had the obsession to kill someone in his heart.

Even with Tsunade's comfort, he rarely had the nightmare that woke him up countless times, watching his companions die one by one, and then being hunted down.

Gentleness seems to heal everything.

Just like Tsunade's hemophobia can be cured by him.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Hino Hikaru decided that if he could face the Kumo ninja this time, he would try his best to kill him.

If it doesn't match...

"and many more!"

Just as Hino Hikaru was thinking this in his mind, he suddenly felt a sense of danger.

This is not from the perception of chakra, but from a spiritual warning.

Although it is not certain for the time being, sometimes it is necessary to rely on feeling.

"Hino, what did you sense again?"

Yuhi Zhenhong made a gesture to stop everyone first.

"We should have thought of it earlier. We underestimated the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki's perception from the beginning."

Although the Eight-Tails is not as perverted as the Nine-Tails, Kirabi is a perfect Jinchūriki.

It is very simple to sense that Yuhi Zhenhong and his group are following.

"You mean, we have been sensed by the enemy now?"

Yuhi Mahong frowned.

According to the information they had obtained from the ninja from Hidden Cloud Village before, the strength of the team of Cloud ninjas in front of them basically completely crushed their scout team.

This is not an opponent who can escape with just a few smoke bombs.

"It's very possible that the bug I sent there has lost contact."

Aburame Shiwei had been very careful. His bugs had been sent far away from the enemy, but now they were discovered.

"Then let's escape as soon as possible."

Yuhi Mahong said seriously.

"But there is an army of Yunyin Village behind us. It is no longer possible to escape from the back, and it is difficult to distance ourselves by escaping from both sides."

Nara Shikaku also looked grim.

"It's better to find a place to hide first. If we are still discovered, we have to hold on for a while. As long as we can drag Minato and the others here, we should have hope of survival."

Counting the days, Nara Shikaku felt that Namikaze Minato's team should be near here.

"Okay, let's set up the trap first."

Yuhi Mahong quickly adopted Nara Shikaku's opinion.

-

"Have you notified Tutai?"

"We have been notified. Lord Dodai wrote back saying that Iwagakure is still unable to retreat, so the ninja following us are most likely sent by Konoha."

"It seems that the enemy has been lurking behind us for a long time."

Kirabi also accidentally sensed that something was wrong in the direction behind him.

"Judging from the tracks on the road, there were four of them."

Although there were very few traces left on the road, Samyi calmly analyzed the number of enemies.

"There are only four people. No wonder they dare to follow us and dare not take action. Find them quickly and kill them!"

The impulsive Aziyi directly pulled out the sword from behind.

Even the body started to burst into flames.

"Probably the reconnaissance team, Master Ai."

Nozomi, who was almost as calm as Samyi, also made his own judgment.

"Then find them, Bi!"

"Okay, brother, they are... on the mountain over there. It's strange, why can I only sense two people?"

"They probably noticed in advance that we were heading back, so they set up an ambush. The enemy's perception is not weak either."

Darui scratched his head nonchalantly.

"Ambush, who cares about an ambush? I'll clear the way, Bi, and so will you!"

Lightning flashed all over his body, and Ai instantly entered the Thunder Chakra mode, rushing like a wild bull in the direction Kirabi pointed just now.

-

ding ding ding...

The kunai and shuriken were all blocked by the body that was braving the lightning.

boom!

The explosion of the detonating talisman did not hinder the arrival at all.

Whether it was a shuriken trap or a detonating charm trap, it was basically useless to Ai, who was covered in thunder armor.

"It's so random... This guy is just like the rumored Third Raikage."

Seeing the quasi-fourth Raikage who completely ignored the trap they left behind, Yuhi Mahong's eyes widened.

"The enemy's strength is far greater than ours. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for even a quarter of an hour."

Aburame Zhiwei, who was standing next to Yuhi Mahong, couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

Not only the detonating talisman trap, but even his bug trap failed to block Ai and the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki in front of him for even a second.

"Believe in Hino and Shikaku, as long as they haven't been discovered by the enemy, we have hope!"

Seeing the two powerful enemies of Kumo ninja getting closer and closer, Yuhi Mako drew the ninja sword from behind.

He has decided that even if he is defeated, he will hold on for a while to buy time for his companions.

"Know!"

Aburame Zhiwei also sacrificed her army of insects, also preparing to fight against the odds.

Chapter 87 I thought Tsunade was already invincible

The enemy is many and we are few, the enemy is strong and we are weak.

Hino Hikaru felt that the opponent was basically a flying dragon, and the only way they could make a comeback was to change sides.

So when everyone dug traps and hid them, Yuhi Zhenhong and Aburame Shiwei took the initiative to offer to act as an ambush on the surface, while he and Nara Shikaku became a secret ambush.

After the enemy arrived, Yuhi Mako and Aburame Shimi were responsible for attracting them, and then he and Nara Shikaku raided the enemy's back row, changing the situation of the battle.

Commonly known as tactical interleaving.

"Remember, never reveal your murderous intent before taking action."

After Yuhi Mahong and Aburame Shiwei set up a trap and hid it.

Hino Hikaru took Nara Shikaku and entered the invisible state.

He didn't know if the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki could sense malice like the Nine-Tails, but even Hanzo Sanshouyu had been able to dodge several of his attacks before by relying on his sense of murderous intent.

It even ended up leaving scars on his arms.

Sansho Fish Hanzo can do it, so there’s no reason why Kirabi can’t.

So Hino Hikaru thought it was better to be cautious.

"I understand, but..."

Nara Shikaku looked at his feet worriedly.

Hikaru Hino's secret technique was indeed powerful, but it was too powerful, and his shadow was completely lost.

Without his shadow, he would have no ninjutsu. How could he complete a sneak attack without ninjutsu?

"What kind of technique are you doing?"

Nara Shikaku felt very uneasy without a shadow.

Although his shadow secret technique is not very powerful, Hino Hikaru can remove his shadow just by putting his hand on his shoulder...

Isn't this too overwhelming for the Nara clan?

"Don't worry, as soon as I let go, your shadow will come back in an instant."
