"Although he is clearly no match for the Fourth Raikage, we are no match for the power of the Cloud."
As he spoke, Tokuma looked at Izumi, who was already unconscious in the other's hand. Now... what should they do?
"Swish!"
Two soft sounds rang out, and two more Chunin from Kumogakure arrived, surrounding Tokuma and Hana.
The Jonin leading the Cloud Village team then spoke up, saying, "You continue your mission by infiltrating Konoha as planned. I'll handle these two small fry."
"Yes!"
The two Chunin vanished in an instant, but Tokuma and Hana, who were targeted, did not stop them.
Because at this moment, the spring is in the other party's hands.
Furthermore, neither of them knew the other party's mission.
"Two Chunin from Kumogakure think they can destroy Konoha? That sounds more like a joke," Tokuma probed.
"laugh!"
The Cloud Village on the other side scoffed and replied, "Two Chunin may not be able to destroy Konoha, but what if the entire village is covered with explosive tags? Your Konoha's Shadow Rocks contain a large number of explosive tags, and their task is simple: just to ignite them."
"The Shadow Rock collapsed, and explosions occurred all over Konoha. This is thanks to the fact that Konoha has always had many enemies. Nearly thirty years ago, Kagerou Village, which was destroyed by Takigakure Village, had laid a large number of explosive tags in Konoha."
"Hehe... Although we don't know why it wasn't detonated in the end, this information about Kagerou Village is the best revenge we can take against Konoha."
……
Chapter 138: Companions, and Darkness
At that moment, the Jonin of Kumogakure glanced at his subordinates who had already gone far away.
"When they approach Konoha, they will change out of all clothing associated with Kumogakure and burn it. The explosive tags will detonate, and you will die. Who will know that it was Kumogakure who did it?"
"Most likely, it will be attributed to the remnants of Yangyan Village, right?"
The Cloud Village Jonin looked at the girl in his hands and said, "The Uchiha clan crest? In that case, we can start by collecting some interest from the Uchiha clan."
On the other side, Hyuga Tokuma's gaze was solemn, as if he had already made some kind of decision in his heart.
Uchiha Izumi cannot die in front of me.
Whether it's the kindness Yun owes to the Hyuga branch family, or the Uchiha clan's gradually regaining influence in Konoha, Izumi cannot die in front of him.
But the village...
"flower."
"Ah."
"You and Rimaru split up and run back to the village as quickly as possible to bring back the information."
Inuzuka Hana was taken aback. As a member of a major Konoha clan, she understood the meaning behind Tokuma's words.
The fact that his own pills were scattered indicates that even if he added pills, it wouldn't have much effect.
Those who remained were almost certainly doomed.
Has it really come to this?
Must we risk our lives to slow down the other person?
But... it's still several hours away from the village. Even if I and Rimaru run separately, how much time will we get?
There's also a spring!
Should I abandon my teammates in my first assessment task right after graduation?
"rest assured."
Tokuma suddenly smiled under his serious gaze: "Hana, just run towards the village. Izumi, leave her to me!"
At this moment, in his line of sight, Yunyin's long sword was about to stab the unconscious Quan.
"Shh!"
With a sudden burst of speed, Dejian's eyes were surrounded by a surge of blue energy, and he used the all-seeing ability of his Byakugan to its fullest extent.
"Walk!!"
After a roar, the attack struck where the enemy was bound to defend, and Tokuma's gentle fist landed.
The Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms.
Originally, once they entered the domain, the moves that were unavoidable under the Byakugan's all-around vision were now ineffective.
But this was also not unexpected for Tokuma; attacking where the enemy would have to defend was merely to prevent the enemy's long sword from falling.
"Shh!"
In an instant, the enemy in Tokuma's sight vanished.
From behind, however, they suddenly spotted the other person.
That's too late!
Is the difference really that big?
"The art of four legs!"
"boom!"
The flower that suddenly appeared blocked the opponent's long sword, but it also missed its target.
"Huhuhu..."
Hana Inuzuka landed, panting heavily. Tokuma, standing beside her, looked at her with a wry smile and said, "The gap is indeed quite large. I was a bit arrogant just now."
Hana Inuzuka smiled and said, "Don't worry, Rimaru has already left. The Inuzuka family has never abandoned its teammates before."
Hyuga Tokuma's Byakugan stared intently at the Jonin who had already returned: "Although it may be futile, since Rimaru has returned, we will do our best to rescue Izumi. That is our next objective."
At that moment, a Jonin from Kumogakure walked over leisurely and said with a mocking smile, "So you didn't escape and came back? Your presence here is just another corpse."
Inuzuka Hana, sprawled on the ground using her four-legged technique, glared angrily: "No matter what, Kumogakure's conspiracy will not succeed!"
"is it?"
With a sneer, Yunyin tossed Quan into the air with one hand and grabbed his neck with the other, gradually increasing the pressure.
"In that case, you'll inevitably have to rush up to save her, right?"
This scene enraged Tokuma, who was about to rush forward when Inuzuka Hana stopped him.
"This is a trap! With your white eyes, there's no way you couldn't have missed the long knife in his other hand, waiting for us to rush in."
Tokuma glared at him angrily: "Let go!"
Inuzuka Hana hesitated for a moment but did not let go. Instead, she said to Kumogakure, "She is Uchiha Kumogakure's sister, Uchiha Izumi. If you kill her, Uchiha Kumogakure won't care about the evidence."
"With the power to kill the Fourth Raikage, can the Hidden Cloud Village really handle them now? The Hidden Cloud Village should know about the Uchiha clan's character; once their loved ones are killed, they won't care about peace!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yunyin's hand loosened its grip, as if he was considering the meaning of his words.
This relieved Hana, and she released her grip on Tokuma's hand.
"Shh!"
Just then, a figure swept down from the shadows behind and slowly walked over.
The noise made Yunyin turn to the right and look at the figure emerging from the jungle, asking, "Who is it?"
The person who emerged from the shadows, with the Leaf Village headband on their forehead, brought a surge of joy to Tokuma and Hana's hearts, but the next moment...
"Don't be nervous, this is the connector."
The newcomer threw something towards Yunyin, but Yunyin didn't catch it. Instead, he waited until it landed and he could see it clearly before picking it up.
After confirming his identity, the Jonin from Kumogakure asked, "Didn't my two companions see you?"
The newcomer nodded and took out a scroll: "I have been given the precise location of the explosive tags, but I heard there was a slight accident here, so I came."
As he spoke, the guy wearing the Konoha headband slowly approached Kumogakure and handed over the scroll.
Having confirmed his identity, Yunyin's vigilance had already decreased.
At that moment, Inuzuka Hana angrily retorted, "Are you a spy from Kumogakure?!"
The newcomer turned around, smiled, and shrugged, saying, "There's no point in hiding anything from someone who's already destined to die; it's obvious."
The Cloud Village Jonin smiled and took the scroll. The scroll looked exactly like the one he had given to his subordinates before, which made them even more relaxed.
Next, and finally, open it.
"boom!"
An explosion suddenly rang out, followed by a flash of light.
"puff!"
Blood splattered from Yunyin's neck!
The spy wearing the Konoha headband actually took Uchiha Izumi from his hand and threw her at the two people who were already stunned.
Inuzuka Hana quickly helped Izumi up and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was alright.
At this moment, the fallen Yunyin gasped for breath, trying to inhale oxygen, but all his efforts were in vain.
"For... coo coo coo..."
The trachea was filled with bubbles of fresh blood, and it took a lot of effort to utter just one word.
The spy in front of him smiled and said, "Part of the surprise is their appearance, but more so it's you... who killed Uchiha Kumo's sister, a mentally ill person known throughout the ninja world for his Uchiha clan. The plan will be subject to too many changes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yunyin, who was standing at his feet, stopped breathing and his heart stopped beating.
At this moment, Tokuma looked at the other person and asked, "Are you a Konoha ninja or a Kumogakure spy?!"
The other party shook his head slightly: "Don't misunderstand, I have always been a spy for the Hidden Cloud Village."
? ? ! !
Tokuma was stunned for a moment: "Then why!?"
At this moment, he couldn't understand why, if he was a spy from the Hidden Cloud Village, he would kill his own companion and then rescue Izumi and return her to him and Hana.
