Run? None of You Will Escape!
"Once we cross this mountain, we'll reach the Land of Rain, our homeland, a country we still deeply love!"
Yahiko stood on the mountain ridge, looking down at the vast expanse of clouds and mist.
He couldn't see his hometown below at all, but at this moment, Yahiko's face was full of excitement, and his eyes were shining with a burning light, as if he had already returned to his hometown.
This feeling...
Kyohiko understands!
When he returned home from studying in another city in his previous life, he was just as excited as Yahiko when he saw the scenery of his hometown.
only--
There's no going back.
Kyohiko sighed inwardly.
Then he looked around.
A row of high mountains separates this place from the Land of Wind.
Looking at the terrain, Kyohiko seemed to be deep in thought.
No wonder this place is so rainy!
Mountains rise between the Land of Rain Land of Wind, and rainwater gathers in this area, flowing down and forming huge lakes on the plains below.
South of the lake lies the Land of Rivers.
The Land of Rain of Rain is closely related to the country's topography, climate, and the accumulation of monsoons.
certainly.
The deserts of the Land of Wind are also related to the environment and climate.
"What's wrong?"
Yahiko turned around.
Then, pointing to the vast expanse of clouds below, he said, "If it weren't for so much rain, I believe the Land of Rain would be a very beautiful country!"
I believe it too.
Kyohiko nodded slightly.
The situation in the Land of Rain might be mitigated by changing the environment, which could reduce rainfall, but it could also lead to even more terrible changes.
No one can guarantee it.
Let's go!
It's been so long since I've been back!
After the initial excitement subsided, Yahiko's feelings gradually turned into apprehension.
Is the Land of Rain still the same as it used to be?
Hizashi maintained his Byakugan, observing the surrounding situation, while Kyohiko was more composed, his gaze constantly observing the surrounding environment and scenery. As they reached the mountainside, beneath the clouds and mist, the rain gradually increased.
By the time we reached the foot of the mountain, it was pouring rain!
The rain poured down as if it were being poured out.
"The birds of Nagato are guiding the way, let's follow them!"
Even though the Amegakure built on the shore of a lake, seem very gloomy, one can still feel Amegakure grandeur at a glance.
Amegakure.
As expected of the most powerful ninja village among the smaller ones!
A hint of admiration flashed in Kyohiko's eyes.
Despite the harsh environment, Amegakure's infrastructure wasn't too bad; some ninjas could be seen patrolling the outskirts, and Kyohiko and his group had already changed into new clothes under Yahiko's guidance.
They infiltrated Amegakure.
The five-person formation left Hizashi in the middle, his Byakugan scanning the surroundings, searching for Sasori of the Red Sands's trail.
A corner of Amegakure.
A ninja wearing a straw hat, carrying a bundle on his back, walked down the street, heading in the direction that would cross Amegakure.
"I should warn you, it seems like someone's following us."
"Hmph, I know."
Sasori of the Red Sands looked up at the sky, a slight smile playing on his lips.
That bird...
He had been noticing it all along!
Where's the helper you mentioned?
"I mean you have help, but that's no excuse for you to deliberately throw your life away. Besides, this is Amegakure. Do you think Hanzo of the Salamander if you fight here?"
A faint sound came from the wall.
Sasori replied lazily, "It doesn't matter. If he makes a move, I can still escape. Besides, do you think he has absolutely no reaction to these Land of Birds ninjas?"
Not far from them, a ninja resembling Sasori of the Red Sands was heading towards Hanzo's location in Amegakure, while they were lingering on the edge of the area.
"Oh."
I'm speechless.
This Sasori of the Red Sands wasn't stupid, but rather overconfident in himself. In reality, Sasori of the Red Sands was just an ordinary genius in his eyes.
Throughout the history of the Shinobi World, there have been countless individuals far more monstrous and powerful than him.
For example, there are two members of Konoha's new generation!
As Jue was pondering this, suddenly, he sensed several auras approaching, especially—
One of them came from the child beside Nagato.
Yahiko?
That seems to be its name.
Jue immediately understood.
The other side has caught up!
Yahiko...
An idea suddenly popped into his head.
"They've caught up."
"Oh? They arrived quickly. It must be the leader of that village in the Land of Birds. Only they could move this fast. Interesting, they actually dared to chase after us..."
Sasori of the Red Sands chuckled. "Then let's turn their leader into one of my collections! I remember one of them seemed to know a secret origami technique; I wonder if it can be preserved as a puppet."
"I think you should first consider whether you can win."
No complaints whatsoever.
Sasori chuckled, "They outnumber us, but I have the entire Amegakure!"
As he spoke, his fingers trembled.
The disguised puppet had already reached the Hanzo of Hanzo's house, with Sasori of the Red Sands controlling it with both hands.
Immediately--
Boom!
An explosion rang out in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, alarms rang throughout the village, and a group of ninjas rushed out from the streets and alleys. Then, the ninja exploded and turned into flames.
A figure appeared on the building.
He looked down at the ground, his brow furrowed slightly. "Sasori of the Red Sands?"
"Grown ups..."
"Don't worry, this is just a puppet. The real Sasori of the Red Sands is definitely not dead yet; he's hiding somewhere in the village right now."
Hanzo snorted coldly and brandished his Kama.
He had naturally heard about Sasori of the Red Sands's movements and knew that the other party had been active in the area Land of Birds recently, but he did not expect that the other party would suddenly come to Amegakure to cause trouble.
and.
They came, fine, but they even dared to attack Amegakure!
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
"Search for Sasori of the Red Sands! Also..."
Hanzo was about to speak, he saw several other figures running rapidly through the village.
What's going on?
There isn't a ninja with that kind of strength in the entire Amegakure!
Who is this?
Just as he was wondering what was going on, someone quickly arrived behind him.
"Lord Hanzo, urgent news! This is a dispatch from Sunagakure..."
"It's definitely for Sasori of the Red Sands. Don't look, I'll grab Sasori of the Red Sands first, and then I'll know everything!"
A fierce glint flashed in Hanzo's eyes.
He had long been very dissatisfied with Sasori of the Red Sands.
If the other party were Land of Rain, he wouldn't have been able to kill them. Now that they've entered the Land of Rain, how could he possibly let them go?
Of course --
Kill!
"No, sir, Konoha also sent someone. The participant is that guy from Konoha who claims to be worthy of inheriting the title of the God of Shinobi..."
Seeing that Hanzo wanted to leave, his subordinates immediately disregarded everything else and quickly reported the intelligence they had read.
"The inheritor of the God of Shinobi? I see, those were Konoha ninjas. They've gotten involved with Sunagakure..."
Hanzo squinted.
Kyohiko Yoshimine.
He had heard this name from many people and knew that the other party was an absolute genius, truly capable of inheriting the title of that God of Shinobi.
but.
He's just a teenager, after all.
This guy also made a move, but to act so recklessly in Amegakure is just too disrespectful to himself!
Furthermore, he definitely wants to catch Sasori of the Red Sands himself!
"I see!"
Hanzo quickly jumped down from above.
He's already seen Sasori of the Red Sands!
That guy was very well hidden, but as a very experienced ninja, he still managed to find Sasori of the Red Sands hiding in a corner, not quite blending into the crowd, within the radius of the previous puppets.
Although it might be a puppet, once you find the puppet, you can basically find the puppeteer!
Whoosh!
Hanzo vanished in Body Flicker Technique.
"Kyohiko, Hanzo is here!"
The Hizashi's expression changed rapidly.
Kyohiko said calmly, "I sensed it. He was lured down by Sasori of the Red Sands."
"Rasa should have already delivered the intelligence, so we don't need to worry about the threat from Hanzo."
Hizashi looked in one direction, "I saw Sunagakure ninjas over there."
"It doesn't matter. Regardless of Hanzo's attitude, we must capture Sasori of the Red Sands, and we must take him down before Hanzo and Rasa!"
This way, there will be time to study Sasori of the Red Sands's Puppet Technique.
The next moment.
"I'm leaving first, you guys follow behind."
"This..."
Hizashi was about to speak, he saw Kyohiko disappear from the spot, and with him vanished...
There's also Kakashi and Yahiko.
but.
The two behind, Hizashi could still see their figures, but they were moving faster, while Kyohiko was moving forward at almost the speed of "flash".
Terrifying!
"This isn't even his full strength."
"That's what Shibi Aburame said calmly."
The Hizashi astonished, then looked at Shibi Aburame and asked, "You've seen his full power? Is it even more terrifying than this?"
"Have no idea."
Shibi Aburame.
He said calmly, "Kyohiko hasn't made a move in almost a year. Who knows how powerful he is now? Even the three adults who know him best probably don't know his limits!"
The next instant, as if confirming Shibi Aburame's words, Kyohiko's speed increased once again, nearly doubling in speed, despite Hizashi's Byakugan.
Although they were far apart, he could still vaguely see traces of Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
That looks like Lightning Armor?
When did Kyohiko secretly learn Lightning Armor?
Hizashi was dumbfounded.
he...
Although I've worked with Kyohiko on several missions, they were mostly simple, and I haven't really witnessed Kyohiko's full power. Now I'm only seeing the tip of the iceberg.
But.
This mere tip of the iceberg was enough to shock him.
"So, Kyohiko's advice to observe and learn from others' Ninjutsu was actually based on his own insights and experiences?"
A thought flashed through Hizashi's mind.
Lightning Armor.
This is the most prized Ninjutsu of Kumogakure, Third Raikage is famous throughout the Shinobi World for it, but...
Did the other side know that Kyohiko could use this move?
He grinned.
"What are you laughing at? Come on, hurry up and catch up."
Shibi Aburame nudge, "They're all following behind!"
"Oh? Oh right!"
Hizashi swept his Byakugan around, and behind him, a group of Amegakure ninja surged toward them.
Although they also wore Forehead Protector, the ninjas of Amegakure clearly had their own methods of identification.
"Walk!"
"Hahaha, this is hilarious! So hilarious! Did you see that? I've mobilized the entire village!"
The scorpion laughed.
Jue emerged from the ground, staring dumbfounded at the scorpion beside him.
He discovered it.
This guy is a complete madman, he has no sense whatsoever!
I've gone mad...
I actually think that this kind of person can be used temporarily to get them to do things for me.
"What's on your mind?"
I think you're crazy!
He gave a curt reply.
Scorpion laughed, "Crazy? That's just your opinion. I'm fine now, better than ever before!"
"I've heard Hanzo's poison is incredibly potent, but would it even work on a puppet? And if your helper doesn't arrive soon, then I think..."
Scorpion had just begun speaking when his voice suddenly stopped.
He looked into the distance.
"Looks like I've caught up with Sasori of the Red Sands, and... another friend."
On the rooftop of a house not far away, a figure stood overlooking Sasori of the Red Sands and the strangely shaped "Zetsu".
Is this what Jue is like now?
Kyohiko looked down at the two of them.
"Kyohiko Yoshimine!"
Sasori of the Red Sands squinted.
He sneered, "You've really gone to great lengths, fearing I'd obtain the Third Kazekage's corpse, you even went so far as to destroy the remaining Chakra and internal organs in his body!"
It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I don't want you to have it.
Kyohiko stretched his limbs, "If it weren't for your grandma protecting you, I would have killed you long ago! I was just not capable enough before, but this time, you won't be so lucky!"
Sasori of the Red Sands crossed his hands, and immediately, two scrolls appeared, from which puppets flew out one by one.
Whoosh!
Dozens, even hundreds of puppets!
Zetsu looked up at the sky, then finally at Sasori of the Red Sands.
At this moment, Sasori of the Red Sands had countless Chakra Threads flying out from his body, spreading and controlling the puppets above him, some of which were quite special.
That is...
The Chikamatsu Ten Puppets.
There were also three very exquisite-looking puppets, almost human-like.
Father, mother, grandmother.
These three special puppets were also quite special to Sasori of the Red Sands, because—
These three puppets were positioned closest to Sasori of the Red Sands, completely protecting him.
Obviously.
For him, the protection of the three made him feel at ease.
Here, the scorpion believes it is at its safest.
Although Zetsu looked down on Puppet Technique, he had some knowledge of it and had to admit that Sasori of the Red Sands was indeed quite skilled.
A puppeteer's genius!
However, this guy lost his family too early. After Chiyo, Ebizo and others died, he went crazy and had nothing left to rely on.
What a pity!
A hint of regret flashed in Jue's eyes.
However, a thought quickly came to him, "If I told you there was a way to save your grandmother and parents, would you be willing to come with me?"
It's said to be walking, but it's actually running.
If it were a matter of escape, I would be absolutely confident that I could help the other party leave.
"Um?"
Scorpion suddenly looked at him.
resurrection?
Impossible!
However.
at this time--
"Run? None of you can escape!"
Kyohiko's voice rang out.
Immediately, he clasped his hands together, and the patterns of Sage Mode appeared on his face.
On the way, he had already used Shadow Clone in conjunction with Amber Jutsu to absorb Natural Energy, allowing the Shadow Clone Technique to absorb Senjutsu Chakra, which could be activated instantly at this moment.
The next second, Kyohiko's figure disappeared from the spot.
Wow!
One by one, the puppets surrounded Kyohiko from all directions.
Weapons, hidden weapons, and Ninjutsu rained down upon the center, but...
When Kyohiko reappeared, he had already passed by one puppet after another.
