Hideki was a little angry right now.
Those damn Kirigakure spies had actually dared to hurt his dear Kumi!
Kumi was almost certainly a Root spy, but she was beautiful, kind-hearted, and had fair legs. If she was fine, then fine—but if not, he would definitely capture Mei Terumi and sell her to Root!
A fair exchange. Danzo had better not come looking for him afterward. Ideally, he could even get a buy-one-get-one deal and have Kumi sent to him too~
With Shadow Clones putting out fires behind him and more Shadow Clones clearing the way ahead, Hideki quickly reached the stairwell on the third floor.
He immediately cursed, "Damn it!"
It was still a fire scene, but this place was even more chaotic than the second floor. Explosive Tags were far more devastating in such a confined space. The entire third floor had become a wreckage-filled inferno!
Fortunately, the third floor was the top floor of the inn, and the Kirigakure spies apparently did not have that many Explosive Tags.
Otherwise, if the building collapsed, Hideki would not need to go in and save anyone. He could just get ready for the funeral feast.
"Go!"
With a wave of Hideki's hand, two Shadow Clones that had long prepared their tiny spiraling water spheres rushed forward. At the same time, Hideki formed hand seals again, and two more Shadow Clones appeared.
In a situation like this, it was best for the original body not to charge ahead. The enemy was cunning and ruthless, and there might still be a backup plan.
Do not ask where Hideki had learned that, because he would definitely do the same thing...
And he would do it even better. Even if he had not brought enough Explosive Tags, he could turn Shadow Clones into Explosive
