PS: On the first day of 2022, I wish all book lovers a happy New Year! In the new year, may all your wishes come true and all the best!
Quietly, no feeling at all.
This was the voice that suddenly sounded in his ears. As Mammoth slowly turned his gaze, what came into his sight was the figure of a black-haired young man wearing Iwagakure Ninja's standard clothing.
"Shōji-san!"
The moment I saw this figure at the same time.
The words Itachi yelled out in surprise from the bottom position.
It also broke the last glimmer of hope deep in Mammoth's heart, which sank straight to the bottom of the valley, face to face with this Uchiha Clan Shura who is now famous throughout Shinobi World!
The cool air from the soles of Mammoth's feet rose straight up to his forehead, and the cold power he felt made Mammoth's body uncontrollably tremble slightly. At this moment, Mammoth truly understood what it meant to be a famous warrior, and that he and others really were not in the same dimension.
Just face to face, Mammoth felt a sense of breathless stagnation. The fear that spread throughout his body made Mammoth almost completely lose the mentality of confrontation. He knew very well that the probability of him escaping alive was infinitely close to 0, but even so, Mammoth was absolutely unwilling to surrender here and just wait to die!
A desperate blow!
This is his last pride as a ninja!
"!"
The last bit of courage I mustered up.
Mammoth's pupils showed a hint of determination.
Then Kunai wants to wave directly.
"Ha!"
In the opposite position, Shōji chuckled.
"Whoosh!"
Between a bow and a sigh of relief.
"Bang!"
"Huh!?"
A heavy blow, which directly destroyed all defenses. Mammoth had no time to react. After his abdomen was severely injured, severe pain quickly spread throughout his body, and his figure instantly flashed and flew backwards.
"Boom!"
It hit the ground below hard, dealing with the rising dust.
Mammoth also fell straight into a coma.
A Shantou Jōnin was eliminated with one hit. This is really a common thing for Shōji. As I said before, the reason why things are so complicated this time is just to see the performance of Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi. Now, if Shōji really takes action, it will be a direct sweep, which is not only meaningless, but also meaningless. Training Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi is the meaning and value of Shōji leading Squad One.
And the reason why we just stun this Kusagakure Jōnin instead of killing him directly is because from the troubles we cleared up on the way here, Shōji learned the true identity of Kusagakure Jōnin. Considering the special strategic position of Land of Grass, Kusagakure had In the past few decades, it has also played a very important role in the war between Iwagakure and Konohagakure. This time Shōji plans to make good use of it. A Jōnin with a special identity, Kusagakure, if everything goes well, can gain some more future strategic space for his Ninja Village, but if not, it won't hurt.
After all, it is a costless transaction, and it will waste a few days at most, so why not do it?
Shōji While thinking about the next arrangement in his mind, he also jumped up, jumped down from the high position, and came directly in front of Itachi and others.
And when Shōji won Mammoth.
Kurotsuchi and Deidara on the other side also executed the remaining Kusa Ninja. Third Hoshikage subdued Akahoshi one step ahead. He originally planned to support Itachi, Deidara, and Kurotsuchi, but found that Kurotsuchi and Deidara were completed at the same time. Shōji showed up to take down Mammoth, which made Third Hoshikage breathe a sigh of relief. However, at this moment and in this place, facing Shōji, Third Hoshikage's expression seemed a little unnatural.
After all, the conversation that took place this morning is still fresh in my mind.
No matter how shameless Third Hoshikage is, he must admit that if it were not for Shōji and his group, he would have been killed on the spot. The backup troops he arranged have not arrived yet. There must be some problems here.
The inheritance entrusted to him by his ancestors was almost ruined in his own hands. This made Third Hoshikage somewhat frightened, and even more ashamed of his previous arrogance.
"Shōji, I really appreciate your support this time. I was rude this morning, so please forgive me, Shōji."
Third Hoshikage said with a very sincere apology.
"Haha, your Excellency, the leader, is serious. This is originally our mission. Since we are employed by your village, this falls within the scope of our tasks. Your Excellency, the leader, does not need to be so polite."
Shōji still answered Responded with a faint smile.
Then he turned to look at Deidara and Kurotsuchi who came together. Shōji nodded lightly with a hint of appreciation and said, "It's not wrong to do it!"
These words also made Kurotsuchi smile immediately. Itachi and Deidara seemed very indifferent, but the faint joy between their eyebrows also meant that they both cared about Shōji's recognition and appreciation!
"No, one code equals one code. The village will not only pay the reward for this mission according to the A-level mission, but I will also thank you all again after returning to the village!"
Third Hoshikage shook his head slightly and said in a very firm tone.
Seeing how insistent he was, Shōji naturally didn't say anything. After Itachi followed Shōji's instructions to deal with the unconscious Kusagakure Jōnin, Shōji also turned his attention to Moved to a position not far away, Third Hoshikage used Mysterious Peacock Method to completely restrain Akahoshi who was unable to move. When Third Hoshikage saw the look in Shōji's eyes, his heart tightened slightly.
Fortunately, Shōji did not take any unnecessary actions.
"Now that the problems have been dealt with, this Kusagakure Jōnin must be inconvenient for your village to deal with, so leave it to us Iwagakure! In addition, the people behind you arranged by the leader did not have any problems at all. I also dealt with the rebels on the way here. They are almost here, so my subordinates and I returned first."
"Oh? Well, I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Shōji!"
Third Hoshikage seemed a bit stunned by Shōji's 'special move' and was unable to react at the first moment.
When he saw that Shōji was really planning to leave with his subordinates, Third Hoshikage had a hint of surprise in his pupils. However, when he heard the last sentence of Shōji, Third Hoshikage's pupils also showed a hint of surprise. You must know that he had already prepared for the worst!
Now it seems that none of his subordinates have any problems!
This is definitely a piece of happy news for Third Hoshikage.
"Well, then!"
Shōji also nodded with a chuckle.
He took Itachi, Kurotsuchi, and Deidara to leave early and returned to the location of Hoshigakure.
