I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

Jia Qing thought about it carefully, and a ruthless look appeared on her face. "Since we've decided to take action, let's go all the way and confirm those two guys' identities as spies!"

"I'll set up the scene in a bit, then you lure the people over. When they arrive, they'll be caught red-handed, with no way to prove anything. We can even make some money on the side, how about it?"

Jia Yi's heart skipped a beat. "You mean..."

Jia Qing nodded vigorously.

After reaching an agreement, the two immediately split up to take action.

Not long after, a figure crouched outside the window.

The window was quietly pushed open...

In the darkness, Shinji immediately opened his eyes.

Knock knock knock!

Three kunai were shot at him in a triangular formation.

Shinji was about to block when he raised an eyebrow and noticed that the three kunai were positioned slightly off-center, as if they were worried that he wouldn't be able to dodge them.

After throwing away the kunai, the person outside the window turned and ran, deliberately making quite a commotion.

It's like saying to him, "Come on, come and chase me!"

"Such an obvious temptation, how stupid would anyone be to fall for it?"

Shinji shook his head, about to go back to sleep, when he heard a noise from next door, followed by a familiar figure chasing after it in the moonlight...

Okay, whether it's stupid or not, it's up to Master Duan to decide!

"That idiot!"

Shinji couldn't help but curse, then picked up his guillotine and chased after them.

Since they're so eager to die, let's just grant their wish!

Jia Yi, who was pretending to escape ahead, was worried about what would happen if the people inside didn't fall for it, but he found that he had overestimated them.

So he sneered, deliberately feigning panic and controlling his speed, as if he was very worried that the other party would give up if they couldn't catch up.

But it wasn't long before they discovered that the two wandering ninjas weren't as slow as they had imagined, especially the one carrying an exaggeratedly large sword. Despite being the last to chase after them, he quickly closed the distance.

That won't do!

Jia Yi gritted his teeth, disregarding everything else, and immediately increased his speed to the maximum.

But when he turned around, his heart skipped a beat!

That guy was actually just a dozen meters behind him.

"How could it be so fast?!"

He panicked now and started throwing kunai and shuriken around indiscriminately.

Shinji, who was chasing behind, was speechless when he saw the other party's behavior.

He originally just wanted to put some pressure on this guy and test him.

Is that all?

If I didn't know this guy had companions and I wasn't planning to wipe them all out, I would have killed him by now instead of keeping him hanging on like this.

Jia Yi, of course, had no idea that this was the result of Shinji letting him win; he was still trying...

It's hard work, but it's also a little heartbreaking.

[Chapter 74. Just the few of you?]

Jia Yi used all his skills and finally succeeded in leading the person to the designated location.

We've already left the village; all that's left is yellow sand.

It's clear that the other party had ill intentions in bringing Shinji and Hidan here.

Especially when Shinji saw the several corpses lying on the ground and the scattered goods, he immediately seemed to have guessed the other party's plan.

At this moment, Jia Yi stopped pretending and turned around to loudly rebuke, "You are not wandering ninjas at all! You are spies from Iwagakure. I have already discovered your exchange of information with your companions disguised as merchants here!"

"Now that the evidence is irrefutable and the suspects have been caught red-handed, what else do you have to say!"

Hidan tilted his head, looking completely bewildered. What kind of nonsense was this?

Shinji was also amazed; they had probably encountered a hidden dragon and a phoenix today.

They actually came up with the idea of ​​framing them in this way, and even went so far as to sacrifice a caravan.

Shinji was certain that the corpses lying on the ground were all from Iwagakure, and their presence here was an indisputable fact.

This is like getting mud on your crotch; it's impossible to explain.

Anyone else would probably be incredibly frustrated.

But right now, Shinji just wants to laugh.

"What are you laughing at? Surrender now and you might still have a chance to live."

At this moment, Jia Yi felt a vague unease in his heart.

He noticed that the two people were too calm, their eyes were like...like watching circus clowns perform.

Shouldn't a normal person feel fear or anger when they encounter something like this?

However, before he could find the source of his unease, Jia Qing arrived with the other two people as planned.

"What happened?"

Despite his unease, Jia Yi had no choice but to immediately begin fabricating the story they had agreed upon beforehand.

"...I secretly followed them all the way here and immediately saw them exchanging intelligence. Then they discovered me, and in order to cover up the truth, they immediately killed the others to silence them, and even tried to kill me... During the standoff, you arrived."

A story riddled with flaws is hard to disbelieve in the current environment of being caught red-handed.

Enraged, Koharu pointed at Shinji and Hidan and shouted, "As expected, I knew you had ulterior motives. Fortunately, Lord Mahler saw through your disguise long ago and ordered us to keep a close watch on you, which prevented you from succeeding."

Snap, snap, snap...

Shinji couldn't help but applaud.

"What a blatant distortion of the truth, a murder frame-up. But I only have one question... are there only four of you?"

Jia Yi's unease grew stronger, but it was too late. Jia Qing shouted "Attack!" and led her men in an attack.

Seeing this, Jia Yi naturally couldn't back down, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and join in.

Four puppets of different shapes attacked Shinji and Hidan from different directions, their weapons flashing with a faint blue light, clearly having been poisoned beforehand.

Shinji really had no interest in dealing with these small fry, so he said to Hidan, who was standing next to him, "Don't go too far. We have important business to attend to later."

"what."

Hidan, who had been holding back his impatience for a while, casually replied and then drew his Bloodstained Three-Month Scythe with a sinister smile!

A few minutes later, the puppet shattered on the ground.

Hidan was intently sketching out the ritual, preparing for the sacrifice.

In the center of the ceremony were several mangled corpses that could not be pieced together, and Jia Yi, who was on the verge of death and looked desperate.

He never imagined that the gap in strength between the two sides would be so great.

They never expected that the other party would actually dare to kill them!

Aren't they afraid of being wanted and pursued by Sunagakure?!

"What...are...you...?"

"Us? I told you from the beginning, we really are just ordinary wandering ninjas. It's just that you insisted on courting death."

"Sunagakure...will not...let them go..."

puff!

Hidan pinned him to the ground with a single slash, yelling, "You babbling on and on, so annoying!"

Shinji glanced at him, thinking to himself, "Who do you think you are to talk about others?"

When they use innocent ordinary people to frame others, they should have expected this day to come.

After Hidan completed the sacrificial ritual, Shinji said, "Let's go somewhere else. We don't have much time left."

Although what happened here won't be discovered for a while, we must hurry.

As for these corpses, they will soon be buried by the yellow sand, so there's no need to worry about them.

. . . . . .

Just a few dozen kilometers away from the village where Shinji and Hidan had left, Maki and his group, weary from their journey, were resting on the spot.

If it were just a matter of finding the 'Sand Spirit', it would be almost impossible, because the creature has a special ability to blend into the sand. If it is determined to hide, it would be virtually impossible to find in this boundless desert.

But the fact that 'Shaling' appeared and rescued a group of 'kindred spirits' made him more traceable.

Through investigation, tracking, and baiting, Maki finally managed to catch his opponent by the tail.

The remaining question is how to carry out the orders given by the Kazekage.

The power and strangeness of 'Sand Spirit' are obvious to everyone, as evidenced by the two Jonin who sacrificed themselves.

They continued their journey the next day.

After walking for about half a day, a figure appeared in the distance and struggled to walk towards them, but collapsed forward after only two steps.

Maki immediately led his men to investigate and discovered that the people in question were from the same village.

"Juan? Is that you?"

"Help...we...we've been...attacked."

Maki's expression hardened, and his brows furrowed.

When Juan regained consciousness, Maki finally understood what had happened.

It turns out that Mahler and his group, who had been traveling overnight, were being targeted by 'Shaling', or rather, the danger they had attracted by capturing and sealing the cursed spirits in recent days had come to their aid.

After a fierce battle, all the others were killed. Mahler used his last bit of chakra to send the scroll out, but he himself was captured after exhausting his strength, and his fate is unknown.
