"Donor..."
The abbot wanted to offer some advice, but before he could finish speaking, the leader pierced straight through his chest.
"Old man, stop talking nonsense. Men, search for us! Find the treasure and we'll live a good life!"
"Oh!"
At the leader's command, the group of wandering ninjas roared and charged into the temple, like a pack of hungry wolves, and began to smash, loot, and vandalize.
Although Nako Temple is not very famous, it is still a temple and contains some money.
Faced with this scene, the monks were furious, but they were completely powerless to stop it.
Those who tried to stop them were now lying in pools of blood.
"Amitabha! Amitabha!"
"What a sin! What a sin!"
Aside from those two sentences, they couldn't say anything else!
It can be described as quite powerless!
"Found it, boss, I found it..."
Suddenly, one of the henchmen ninjas exclaimed in surprise, holding up an ancient stone tablet no bigger than a washbasin, with the words "Minggu" engraved on it, his face full of joy.
"Well done, men, retreat!"
Upon seeing this, the leader was overjoyed and immediately issued a retreat order.
A group of people came quickly and left quickly!
"Hahaha, now we're set for life! Get out of here, you vagrant life!"
"From now on, we're going to live a wonderful life! Women, money, we'll have everything!" the eldest brother shouted excitedly.
He was extremely pleased with himself!
The consequence of doing so is—
"Pfft!"
He was stabbed in the chest by a person with long grass-green hair and died on the spot!
"You probably can't afford such a treasure!"
Standing on the steps leading down from Nako Temple, the man looked at the group of henchmen in front of him and grinned.
"Boss!"
"You bastard!!!"
"You dared to kill our boss?! I'll fight you to the death!!"
The henchmen's eyes immediately turned red, and they rushed towards the green-haired ninja.
"Hmph, a bunch of ants dare to make a fuss!"
The green-haired ninja stared intently at the approaching group, forming hand seals and shouting, "Fire Style: Divine Fire Technique!"
A burst of flames completely engulfed the people and ignited the surrounding woods.
"Ah!!!"
Immediately, screams of agony rang out from within the flames.
The green-haired ninja Body Flicker Technique charged forward.
Within minutes, he had obtained the Nako Stone, and everyone else died at his hands.
"Hmph, you piece of trash dare to think you're worthy of such a treasure? Only I, the great one, am qualified!"
"With this Nako Stone, I no longer have to be a B-rank missing-nin!"
After saying that, he rushed down the mountain at top speed.
But there are just too many people eyeing this monument!
The green-haired ninja was soon killed by other wandering ninjas.
Then, the cycle repeated itself, changing hands several times. The distance from Nako Temple to the foot of the mountain was only two kilometers, yet no fewer than ten battles took place!
The team that ultimately obtained the Nako Stone was the very team that said, "Why should the Five Great Ninja Villages rule the Shinobi World?"
"Withdraw!"
"Eliminate the traces!"
"Now we're rich!"
The team leader, barely suppressing his excitement, spoke up.
"Learn!"
The others were also extremely excited, their faces revealing undisguised desire and greed!
But will they be the ultimate winners?
Of course not!
"Could you please hand over this stone tablet to us?"
Just as the group reached a grove of trees, about to step out and find themselves in a vast, open world—
Suddenly, a line of people appeared in front of them and stopped them.
"Sharingan, Konoha uniform, wait... You're the Copy Ninja Kakashi Hatake!!!"
The leader immediately recognized the person in front of him as Kakashi and the others who had arrived!
"Damn it, how could they have arrived so quickly!"
The captain's heart sank the moment he saw Kakashi and the others!
In battle, they would never be a match for us!
But it's really hard to hand over such immense wealth!
It was something they fought tooth and nail to get!
"Whoosh!"
At that moment, another whooshing sound came from behind them, and a group of ninjas wearing 'Kirigakure' Forehead Protector appeared!
"How about we consider entrusting that treasure to you?"
"Think carefully. Konoha Ninja are always merciful and might not kill you."
"But if you don't give it to us, we Mist Ninja don't have that many scruples!"
"You wouldn't want all your men to die because of a single wrong decision, would you?"
The leader, Juzo Biwa, grinned with an incredibly cruel smile.
"The... Seven Ninja Blade Swordsmen!!"
Upon seeing the Kubikiribōchō carried by Juzo Biwa, the leader couldn't help but swallow hard!
"Not only that, there's also that person, that's the Demon Zabuza Momochi!"
One of the henchmen pointed at Zabuza, whose body was wrapped in bandages, Zabuza in horror.
"And the person behind them, that must be the White Cold Light Ye Liangnai who is renowned throughout the Shinobi World!"
One person pointed Zabuza and said in a trembling voice, "Hozuki Suigetsu, who is wearing a mask!"
"Hiss!"
The wandering ninja team gasped in shock and began to have second thoughts!
"Boss... Boss, should we... should we... retreat? We... we don't want this thing anymore!"
Someone tried to persuade him, their tone filled with terror!
With this lineup, wiping them out would be far too easy!
"Damn it!"
Upon hearing this, the leader immediately showed a strong sense of struggle. Giving up such an easily obtainable treasure was simply too unwilling!
But what can you do if you're unwilling to accept it?
"Without strength, one has no right to enjoy such treasures!"
He sighed deeply, then made a decision, and shouted sternly to the brothers behind him, "Scatter! Spread out in all directions!"
"People of Konoha, this Nako Stone is yours. I'm done playing!"
With that, he tossed the Nako Stone into the air and dashed into the dense forest.
"A wise choice!"
"Superior!"
Kakashi and Juzo Biwa both exclaimed in their hearts in admiration.
Then, the same order was given: seize the Nako Stone!
"Wood Release: Wood Release: Great Forest Technique!"
After quickly forming Tenzo seals, Konoha's arm transformed into multiple pieces of wood and rushed towards the Nako Stone.
It can both reclaim the Nako Stone and resist the enemy.
"What? Wood Release!"
Upon seeing this scene, the Mist Ninja were greatly surprised and showed a hint of shock.
Another Wood Release user has appeared in Konoha? Is that true?
Didn't they say that no one has been able to use it since Hashirama Senju?
Wood Release ninjas, they're not easy to deal with!
They really went all out for this Nako Stone!
Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!
While his teammates were still in shock, Kisame Hoshigaki had already made his move.
With his terrifying amount of Chakra, he created a giant lake of water that gushed forth!
