Lin Ze's eyes fell on the only surviving Iwagakure Chunin.
The opponent had completely lost his will to fight, collapsed on the ground, his eyes were distracted, and he murmured unconsciously:
"Monster... don't come here..."
There was no wave in Lin Ze's heart. He moved and appeared in front of Iwagakure Chunin like a ghost. Dragon Claw waved over.
Poof!
After the dull sound of the sharp blade cutting into flesh and blood, Valley fell into complete silence.
Warm blood splashed onto the back of Lin Ze's hand covered with Dragon Scales, giving it a sticky touch.
Lin Ze stood there, stunned for a moment.
I traveled to Hokage World for two and a half years, and I had a lot of fighting training, and I had also done things like quickly wiping people's necks, but like today, it was the first time I had killed so many people in one go in this way.
It was a life-and-death fight just now, adrenaline was soaring, I was just trying my best, there was nothing special about it.
At this moment, all the powerful enemies were wiped out, and he was the only living person left in Valley. The strong smell of blood hit his face, and looking at the corpses of various shapes on the ground, an indescribable physiological discomfort finally came up.
'Tsk, as expected it's still a bit...'
But this feeling comes and goes even faster.
Almost in the next second, the power of Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon in Lin Ze's body seemed to flow spontaneously. A subtle wild instinct quietly suppressed the discomfort, and the heart returned to a cold calm.
He even had an inexplicable... adaptation to the smell of blood in the air?
Lin Ze frowned and shook off the blood beads on Dragon Claw.
'This Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon, it seems, not only gives me abilities, but also affects me in a subtle way... However, now is not the time to delve into this.'
Lin Ze took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and looked around quickly.
The top priority is to deal with the scene and never leave any clues pointing to your abilities!
Then Lin Ze carefully sensed the circle, and then scanned the entire Valley and its surrounding forest with wide eyes.
'Fortunately, no other Chakra responded.'
'Yes, the place Root chose must be remote and secret. It is already a small probability event that we can run into a group of Iwa Shinobi who are following Dandelion. There is no chance of a second wave of people.'
After confirming safety, Lin Ze's brain began to work rapidly, thinking of countermeasures.
'Danzo old dog set a trap for me. I can't hide this from Hiruzen Sarutobi, but I can't let him know all my trump cards.'
'Run away directly? Leave Konoha?' This idea was rejected by Lin Ze just for a moment.
'No, it's the middle of Konoha 39, and Third Shinobi World War will break out in more than three years. I have the body of a seven-year-old child, and without the protection of a village, even with Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon, it will be too difficult and dangerous to grow up.'
Lin Ze lifted Eight Gates Released Formation and leaned against a big tree to think slowly.
He didn't really want to leave people like Konoha, Kurenai Yuhi, Nonō, Kai Might Duy and Might Guy, and the stable life that had finally improved a little bit. He didn't want to give up just like that.
After all, he has lived in Konoha for two and a half years. The people he knows, cares about, and wants to protect with all his strength are all in this village.
As Hatake Sakumo said, the people Lin Ze really cares about are all in Konoha right now.
And this is exactly the "bond" that Hiruzen Sarutobi often mentions.
'We must go back! And we must find a reasonable and explainable reason to go back!'
Lin Ze glanced at the corpses on the ground, and a plan quickly formed in his mind.
To put it simply, when Root was arresting Lin Ze, he accidentally encountered Iwa Shinobi who was following a spy, and a deadly battle broke out between the two sides.
And Lin Ze, a seven-year-old child who was lucky enough to be at the scene and whose strength was only as strong as Chunin, saw that the situation was not good, and when they were both injured, he activated Eight Gates Released Formation and ran away desperately!
'Yes! I don't know who won in the end, and I don't know if Iwa Shinobi took the information. I just wanted to escape for my own life! This is the most reasonable way!'
Lin Ze The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes.
'My apparent strength is the Nintaijutsu plus the four-door Eight Gates Released Formation. The sudden burst of killing a Special Jōnin can be explained by fighting for one's life, but if I show too much strength, it will arouse suspicion.'
'So, I must be the one who "ran away in embarrassment"! And when I ran away, the fighting was still going on, and I didn't know anything!'
Plan passes!
Lin Ze no longer hesitated and immediately started to fake the scene.
He first walked to the body of Black Panther.
"The first one is you. Sorry, I have to use you again."
Lin Ze said in a fake tone, then recalled the blow when he instantly killed Black Panther, controlled the force, and punched again from the same direction.
Bang!
Black Panther's head exploded just like Watermelon.
Then, Lin Ze began to focus on forging traces of Iwa Shinobi's evacuation.
'Iwa Shinobi is the "victory party", they must evacuate. And if they die Jōnin, their condition will not be very good, and their traces cannot be too perfect.'
Lin Ze set Iwa Shinobi's side to be tall and thin, Chunin survived, and the other three died on the spot.
Then he chose a direction opposite to Konoha, adjusted the soles of his feet Dragon Transformation to a suitable size, put on the tall and thin Chunin shoes, and created some messy footprints on the ground with different shades, imitating the look of the tall and thin Chunin evacuating.
A few pieces of broken cloth with the Iwagakure logo were left on several bushes.
It looks like a surviving Iwa Shinobi escaped here in a hurry with injuries and information.
Then Lin Ze kept going forward until he encountered a river, pretended to jump into the river, and then flew back to Valley crookedly from the air.
Finally, he glanced at the corpses of the other Root members.
'We can't keep these. It's best to die without any evidence.'
Lin Ze took a deep breath, his chest bulged, and a red light lit up deep in his throat.
Phew--!
The fiery Dragon Breath spit out and accurately covered the corpses of Dandelion, Wild Boar, Tanuki and Baku.
The terrifying high temperature instantly turned flesh, bones, clothing and even ninja tools into coke, and finally turned into a pile of unrecognizable ashes.
As soon as the breeze blows, they disperse and disappear, literally spreading the ashes...
'Done! Except for Black Panther, whose brain exploded, Root's corpses have all been disposed of, and there is no evidence of death! Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi is suspected, no evidence can be found!'
Then, Lin Ze took out an empty Sealing Scroll and sealed the four corpses of Iwagakure Ninja into it one by one.
The ashes of these people need to be buried somewhere far away...
After doing all this, Lin Ze breathed a long sigh of relief.
Looking around, Valley is still bloody, but the biggest hidden danger has been eliminated.
The battle traces and the pile of ashes are enough to prove that a great battle took place here, and the traces of Iwa Shinobi's evacuation can complete the story.
After all, Third Shinobi World War will break out in a few years. The relationship between Konoha and Iwagakure is already tense at the moment, and they will definitely not confirm each other for what happened to Land of Grass this time.
In the end, both sides will only believe that the other party destroyed their own Ninja team.
Lin Ze checked Valley one last time, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he selected the direction of Konoha, and his eyes focused.
"Eight Gates Released Formation·Fourth Gate·Gate of Pain, open!"
Boom! Green energy steam erupted again, but it was much weaker than during the previous battle, obviously lacking in stamina.
Lin Ze gritted his teeth and opened "Gate of Pain" three times in a short period of time. Even with Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon's Zoan quick recovery ability, it was too much for him, and he had to take a rest for a while after going back.
Bang!
Stomping the ground violently, leaving a deep footprint on the ground, Lin Ze rushed out like an arrow. The speed was extremely fast, but his figure deliberately looked a little staggering and hasty.
'Run! Just use this speed and run all the way back to Land of Fire Border!'
The figure of Lin Ze quickly disappeared deep into the dense forest, leaving only a carefully forged battlefield that seemed confusing but could be justified.
