"There's no time to be surprised, get moving!"
"Move non-combatants toward hospitals and schools."
"If you ninjas continue to indulge in this indifferent attitude, how can you protect your comrades!"
The one who broke the atmosphere of lingering fear was still Nara Shikaku. His face, which still bore several scars, was exceptionally cold. As he found these two places that were unlikely to be affected, he also thought of the location of that bastard!
Right at the location of the Hokage Rock,
After all, only from there can one have a perfect overview of the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and only there can one be so precise as to avoid harming any innocent residents, yet still manage to throw one's own side into chaos!
"Anbu!"
Where are the ANBU ninjas?
Ignoring the calls of the Konoha ninjas around him, he growled into the shadowy corner.
There is only one way to completely get rid of this passive situation: find the cancer and remove it completely!
Now that we have deduced the location where the other party most likely exists or has been, entrusting this matter to experts in this field is undoubtedly the wisest choice.
The dark side is undoubtedly an expert in this area.
However, compared to only belatedly ordering the ANBU ninjas to deal with that bastard, Nara Shikaku's eyes already showed dissatisfaction.
Because these guys are responsible for monitoring and eliminating any spies that may exist within Konoha.
Even if things don't go perfectly, we should act quickly the moment the explosion occurs to find and eliminate the perpetrators and prevent further disasters!
However, this group, which should have been the most elite in Konoha, has achieved nothing so far.
"Shikaku-sama."
A crisp sound fell on the eaves, and several figures slowly materialized on the small building.
However, upon closer inspection, there were only four ANBU ninjas in front of them, just a small squad!
This response made Nara Shikaku's expression even more strange.
It's not dissatisfaction,
Rather, it's a speculation about a bad premonition.
There can only be one reason why these elites responsible for the safety of Konoha did not immediately appear during the enemy invasion!
That means everyone has been killed in action!
But how is that possible?
Those were the most elite group of ninjas in Konoha!
Each one of them is a master fighter, capable of taking on ten opponents!
"The culprit behind this explosion and chaos is likely located near the Hokage Rock. We must find him and stop letting him continue to wreak havoc. We must also get the remaining unexploded areas out of his mouth."
Forcibly suppressing the panic and fear in his heart, Nara Shikaku calmly gave the order.
Even a single secret service squad would be enough to catch that stinking rat!
The reason they didn't directly inquire about the whereabouts of the other ANBU ninjas was because they were worried about hearing some bad news, which could cause chaos in the ranks.
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, a hint of resentment flickered in Uzuki Yugao's eyes, but she still immediately responded.
Although he also wanted to stay here and wait for the official signal to strike back to avenge his dead lover by those bastards.
However, she was also very clear about the current situation. Finding the villain who had been disrupting the gathering of Konoha ninjas was the most important task for her as an Anbu ninja.
"Walk."
With a clean and decisive command, Uzuki Yugao immediately led her teammates toward the Hokage Rock, leaving behind only a deep purple hue in everyone's sight.
"Then let's go too."
"Stop that beast! We absolutely cannot let it get any closer to the residential area!"
"Neither of you has had a peaceful year, has you?"
After arranging the evacuation of non-combat personnel and dealing with potential threats, Nara Shikaku finally faced the crisis directly ahead:
The three-headed serpent drew ever closer, and the Sand Village ninja advanced relentlessly beneath its massive body.
"Peace of mind."
As the rough response rang out, a colossal giant, comparable in size to the massive three-headed serpent, appeared in their field of vision.
[Multiply Technique!]
"Of course, we can't abandon the name of Ino-Shika-Cho before the younger generation has fully grown up."
"There are sixty-seven Sand Village ninja ahead. Let's go! We must drive out these traitors!"
"Ichiro Yamanaka opened his eyes and answered in a deep voice."
Their clan is skilled not only in the unique [Mind Transfer Technique], but also in powerful mental abilities used for perception and reconnaissance.
However, beneath his outward calm and composure, an uneasy question lingered in his mind.
[In the whole story of this incident, and the unexplained dereliction of duty by the ANBU ninjas, were you involved?]
【shortage!】
"So,"
"Ino-Shika-Cho, assemble now!"
"on!"
Upon receiving a response from his two old friends, Nara Shikaku growled, his deep eyes gradually replaced by coldness.
"Hey, so we've finally been found out?"
Despite being concerned about the ANBU squad that was clearly rushing towards the Hokage Rock, Xuan Neng's face showed no sign of panic.
"But isn't it a little too late?"
"This is my final masterpiece."
He glanced at the statue of the Third Hokage destroyed by the explosive tags, but his eyes showed neither sorrow nor joy.
After all, Kagero Village, which was completely destroyed in the war with Konoha more than 20 years ago, can never be brought back.
The grief has lasted for more than twenty years, and the joy of revenge cannot dispel it.
A moment of confusion filled the old man's heart and lungs.
"Perhaps I should take out a few more Konoha ninjas to accompany you in death."
"In response to that guy's promise, the explosion I set up didn't affect a single person."
He murmured to himself, a yellowed photograph still clutched in his palm.
He naturally had no intention of running away, because he had already achieved the meaning of his survival over the past twenty years.
However, just as Xuan Neng was gradually becoming certain of this idea in his heart, a past he thought he would soon forget quietly surfaced in his mind:
I've established a ninja academy within my territory, filled with young individuals possessing a strong will to protect, as well as some orphans who have lost their parents. I hope you can become their teacher, instructing them on how to protect themselves and their homes.
【certainly,】
Ultimately, you can become their teacher.
Alternatively, you can choose to become their relative.
"The Land of Hot Springs - Hidden Demon Village, what kind of village is that?"
The question slipped out unconsciously.
"That's him! Keep him alive!"
Meanwhile, the ANBU squad led by Uzuki Yugao had also approached the location.
She roared and drew her sword. Although they were still some distance apart, she was clearly eager to slash at the wrinkled old man in her field of vision.
But at this very moment,
Xuan Neng awoke from his dazed state of mind. A large, spiritual bird swooped down from the sky, grabbed his ordinary craftsman's clothes with one claw, and carried them into the sky.
"I've changed my mind,"
"I want to go and see that place."
Chapter 551 [Rest in Peace]
Dark part,
The interrogation department.
The scalding blood splattered on the walls made the already dark passageway even more sinister and terrifying.
Noticing the sudden silence, the newcomer flicked the strange battle blade in his hand before stepping over the mangled corpses lying on the ground and heading deeper into the interior.
According to the information provided by that person,
The person I'm looking for is in this place.
Finally, after walking several dozen steps, he arrived at a slightly larger underground space.
The dim light allowed a glimpse into the entire dark space.
This place contains various instruments of torture, separate prisons, several secret agents destroying documents, and the person they are looking for.
"you are?"
"Dried persimmon Kisame!"
The ninja, now in this final space, could also see clearly, by the light, the newcomer's face, which was not concealed.
And by observing the distinctive gill markings on the other person's face, resembling those of a shark, and their small eyes, he instantly recognized their identity.
"Ha, it's rare that you still remember me."
"I said that if fate allows, we will meet again."
Kisame Hoshigaki spoke with a light, relaxed laugh, and his imposing figure slowly descended the steps.
