Deep in the woods, Sōsuke Aburame, who was already thin and out of shape, looked indifferently at the Poisonous Insects who kept approaching him tentatively. It was foreseeable that the person who drove Poisonous Insects would be killed by Poisonous Insects within a few moments.
This should have been the ending that I had expected, wasn't it?
Pain came from Sōsuke Aburame's body. After he was unable to supply Chakra to Kikaichū, these bugs began to feed on his flesh and blood.
Seeing that the remaining Blood-Sucking Mosquitoes and Poison Scorpions Poisonous Insects were approaching Sōsuke Aburame, a flame fell from the sky and burned all the fish that had escaped the Madara Uchiha fire dragon again.
"Is it Teacher Kazuhiko?"
Due to excessive blood loss and Kikaichū's backlash, Sōsuke Aburame, who was only fourteen years old, was now invisible. But since the person who came was Fire Release Ninja and did not kill him immediately, then the person who came was probably Kazuhiko Sarutobi.
"Sōsuke Aburame, fought to the last moment in the mission of protecting Lord Shinhiko Kōzuki, and died at the hands of Sand Ninja. I will report this to the village. Is there anything else you want to say?"
Kazuhiko Sarutobi looked at Sōsuke Aburame who was no longer human, and a trace of unbearable flashed in his eyes, but if Sosuke was allowed to go back alive, Danzo would not let him go. At that time, Sōsuke Aburame was a sinner. Now, letting Sosuke die as a hero is the best result for him, Aburame Clan, and Konoha.
"Thank you, teacher. Teacher, please also say sorry to Hayato and Itachi on my behalf."
When Sōsuke Aburame was dying, the cheerful smiling face of Hayato Hyuga and the indifferent face of Madara Uchiha appeared in his mind.
If I hadn't been born in Gen, maybe I could have joined their training.
"Wind Release·Wind Blade."
Two Wind Blade were released from Kazuhiko Sarutobi's hands, one of which cut off Sōsuke Aburame's head and the other penetrated Sōsuke Aburame's heart.
Wind Blade is very fast, Sōsuke Aburame should not feel any pain.
After Sōsuke Aburame was killed, countless Kikaichū gnawed out of his body, and finally only a pile of dead bones was left here.
On the other side, Hayato Hyuga was helped back to the team, and Samurai and Laborers who had been separated were all found. Kazuhiko Sarutobi also returned to Shinhiko Kōzuki at the same time as Hayato returned.
Although the enemy's offensive came one after another, their core target was Shinhiko Kōzuki. Except for three Laborers and two Samurai who died at the mouth of Sōsuke Aburame's insects, most of the men around Shinhiko Kōzuki did not suffer much damage.
"Boss, are we still here?"
A few hundred meters away from Madara Uchiha and the others, the four Ninja of Iwagakure watched from a distance as more and more people gathered around Shinhiko Kōzuki. The Owl Mask and Ninja who followed the leader Iwagakure raised questions to their captain.
"Wait a minute, judging from the surrounding environment of this group of people and the clothes of the killed Ninja, this group of people should be the people who just killed Root. Where are the foursome of Sunagakure? Could it be that these trash in the desert ran away at the slightest breeze?"
This siege against Shinhiko Kōzuki was planned together by Sunagakure and Iwagakure under the leadership of Root. Now two people from Iwagakure have died, all three Root have been killed, and there is also a captain Iwagakure who is unknown to them. Akatsuki's Sōsuke Aburame is actually dead, but Sunagakure's people haven't appeared yet according to the analysis of captain Iwagakure. If Sunagakure's people take action and Iwagakure's four-person team takes action, they might not be able to defeat Shinhiko Kōzuki's team, which has just survived the holiday.
The captain of Iwagakure waited and waited. When it got dark, Shinhiko Kōzuki and their camp were set up and ready to rest, but Sunagakure still didn't show up.
"His grandma really ran away?! Are these Sunagakure people just here to blow some wind?"
Seeing that a day has passed, Iwagakure's people still haven't found any trace of Sunagakure's assassin. Iwagakure's captain is also speechless. What she doesn't know is that all Sunagakure's Ninja are dead.
"Then shall we still fight?"
The Ninja wearing Bird Mask is a tall Ninja. After hearing his question, the leader of Iwagakure jumped up and slapped his subordinate.
"Just give me a spanking. It's been a day and I've almost cultivated myself. If you're still beating me, withdraw!"
After confirming that people from Sunagakure will not take action again, all people from Iwagakure will go back.
"Teacher, did you say Sosuke is dead?!"
It was getting late, and Shinhiko Kōzuki and the others fell into a deep sleep. Hayato Hyuga and Madara Uchiha regained their spirits during the day, and then took charge of duty with Kazuhiko at night. Beside the crackling fire, Kazuhiko Sarutobi informed Hayato Hyuga of the death of Sōsuke Aburame.
"How could it be possible? That guy is Aburame Clan's genius. Who can kill him? Even if we were ambushed by Iwagakure, wouldn't he have escaped unscathed?"
Although Sōsuke Aburame talks little, he is indeed Hayato Hyuga's longest friend, and Hayato Hyuga has never experienced the sadness of losing Teammate. Now that he suddenly heard the news, Hayato Hyuga was a little unbelievable.
"The person who killed him was Jōnin of Sunagakure. By the time I arrived, Sunagakure Jōnin had already evacuated."
"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Guys like me are not dead yet, how could Sosuke die!"
After confirming the death of his friend from Kazuhiko Sarutobi's mouth, Hayato Hyuga slapped the ground unwillingly. It was indeed difficult for him to accept the death of his friend who had grown up with him in an instant.
"If you are so unwilling, go down and accompany him."
Even Kazuhiko Sarutobi never thought that Madara Uchiha would say such words. The purpose of calling Madara was to accompany him to comfort Hayato. Who would have thought that Madara would actually add fuel to the fire.
Although the words were ugly, they were effective. After Madara finished speaking, Hayato Hyuga, who was still crying and grieving, was stunned.
"I don't need subordinates who are so unsure of themselves."
Madara Uchiha stood up from the campfire. Hayato Hyuga's presumptuous words made Madara laugh angrily. After all, he had spent so much time cultivating this guy, but he still felt that he was inferior to a Aburame Clan person.
"Teacher Kazuhiko, what on earth is going on?"
Kazuhiko Sarutobi looked at Madara Uchiha's leaving figure and laughed at himself, thinking that after being Instructing Jōnin for a long time, he had become such a mother-in-law.
"Hayato, Sōsuke Aburame are the people sent by Root to monitor Uchiha Itachi. In this mission to protect Lord Shinhiko Kōzuki, Sōsuke Aburame is also one of the assassins. When we return to Before Master Shinhiko Kōzuki, Sōsuke Aburame used Forbidden Technique to launch an attack on Uchiha Itachi Yama, and was eventually defeated by Itachi. He suffered the backlash from Forbidden Technique, and I gave Sosuke the final blow."
