After one blow, Anyo disappeared without a trace, and the darkness that enveloped it gradually faded away.
I saw the pupils of the two people who had just been assassinated were dilated and they were breathing heavily in disbelief. Blood was already oozing from Rasa's shoulder blades. One of Chiyo's arms was missing. Both of them were injured at the same time. What's even more exaggerated is that they didn't even see what their opponents looked like. What kind of strength is this Ninja, how could it be so terrifying.
Even Rasa was thinking that if Chiyo hadn't sacrificed his Puppet arm at the last moment to save their lives, I'm afraid that the last knife would have stabbed not the shoulder, but the heart.
Chiyo was the first to recover from the shock. He looked at the cave on the ground with a clear look in his eyes. "I'm afraid the assassin has been lurking here for a long time. Since he didn't kill us just now, there won't be a second chance. We are still careless."
Rasa nodded and said, "It's my problem. From now on, I will arrange Barrier and set up Sensory Ninja to take turns on duty to prevent assassination from happening again."
Seeing that Rasa had also recovered from the thrilling assassination just now, Chiyo nodded happily and said, "Let's retreat temporarily for today, my arm needs time to build."
"Okay."
Anyo, who left quickly, showed no disappointment at the failure of the assassination. From the beginning, his purpose was to only injure but not kill. After all, these two people, one was Grandmother of Scorpion, and the other was Puppet who had been scheduled by Scorpion.
Although Anyo did not use all his strength, the reaction of the two was really fast, especially the last Blade-Breaking Technique. Anyo did not expect that Chiyo would half-Puppet his body. Not only did his attack fail to achieve the expected effect, but he also saved Rasa.
Arriving at the top of Kikyo Mountain, Third Hokage was sitting quietly on the main seat as usual, but unlike before, now he did not have endless official duties, was not tired and kind, but only had vigorous momentum and endless majesty. His face was extremely calm, full of a kind of perseverance that would not scare the sky.
As long as every Konoha Ninja stationed here looks at this face, their confidence will skyrocket again, and they will be more determined than before. Everyone has given all expectations and confidence to this Hokage who has protected Konoha for nearly thirty years.
The moment he saw Anyo, Third Hokage's face moved slightly, and he asked with some anticipation, "How is it?"
Anyo sighed and said, "Hey, it failed. I didn't expect that Chiyo's body was partially transformed into Puppet, and helped Rasa block some of the attacks. It only hurt them, but didn't kill them."
Although he had foreseen it, Third Hokage was still disappointed when he heard this result, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he smiled gently and said, "Thank you for your hard work for lurking these days."
"It's okay, it's just a pity." Anyo looked regretful.
After knowing that Third Hokage had produced Konoha, Anyo rushed over from Amegakure with Bai. As soon as the two met, Anyo volunteered to plan this assassination, firstly to prove his strength in front of Hokage, and secondly, to slow down Sunagakure's attack rhythm and not really start a fight.
In Anyo's heart, Sunagakure is already his own property, and it would not be worthwhile to share it all with Konoha.
At this time, a Konoha Ninja ran over and said, "Lord Hokage, Sunagakure have retreated. It's strange, the fighting didn't seem intense today."
"It seems that your assassination is still effective." Third Hokage praised, and then said to this Ninja: "Please inform me that Sunagakure will not launch another attack in a short time. Take a good rest and recover your strength."
"Yes."
After Ninja left, Third Hokage said in a questioning tone, "Anyo, have you noticed that most of the attacks these days are caused by Puppet?" The main force, there are not many Sand Ninja actually dispatched. Even if it was to test us at the beginning, after a few days, it is time to carry out a formal attack. Could it be said that their number of Ninja is not that many."
As expected of Third Hokage, he discovered the fishiness in it at a glance. Anyo followed his words and said, "I think so too. Sunagakure must have suffered a lot of losses after two wars. In addition, with the disappearance of Kazekage, there has been no backbone in the village. There must not be many Ninja coming for this attack."
"It seems that we want Fayi to agree." Third A glimmer of light flashed in the light. "What do you think will happen if we take the initiative to attack?"
Anyo frowned. "The losses will be serious, and it will be difficult to deal with that Puppet army alone."
"Yes." Third Hokage nodded in agreement. In normal times, his mood would not be the same as it is now. It is really a three-front battle at the same time, which is too stressful. What's more, it seems that the battle here cannot be resolved in a short time.
Sure enough, after a few days of calm, Sunagakure's attack struck again. Different from the last time, this Sunagakure attack was obviously more radical. In addition to the Puppet army, Sand Ninja also swarmed up and launched a full-scale attack on Kikyo Mountain. The attack range was so wide that it almost covered the entire mountain.
In a lush mountain jungle, both sides Ninja Close-Quarters Combat.
This battle lasted from daytime to dusk. Konoha Ninja sent out a secret signal. Everyone gathered together and quickly ran in a direction for defense and reinforcements. As they were running, the sand suddenly collapsed. Everyone's expressions changed, and they thought to themselves that there was an ambush.
Sure enough, several Sunagakure's Jonin, Hand Seals appeared from the sand and said, "Earth Release, Antlion Hell."
The collapsed sand immediately began to spin, forming a black hole in the ground, swallowing up a group of ninjas in Konoha. However, Konoha was not weak either, and everyone formed seals one after another and escaped.
At this time, when Sand Ninja saw Konoha Ninja escaping, he sneered and continued Hand Seals: "Earth Release, Earth Spear."
A large number of sharp Rocks suddenly appeared from the sand and attacked Konoha Ninjas. In just a moment, five Ninjas were stabbed and died.
Konoha Jonin here saw someone dying so quickly. He snorted coldly and launched a counterattack at the same time, "Lightning Release, Lightning Sand Needle."
The sand on the ground seemed to have absorbed thunder and lightning, scattered around several Sand Ninja, and shot into their bodies at high speed, turning them into sieves on the spot. Their death was miserable.
The two sides went back and forth, and from time to time, Ninja completely collapsed in this mountain and died silently.
Just when Sand Ninja and Konoha Ninja fought until they were exhausted and took out Kunai to fight, Third Hokage and Anyo appeared at the same time., the two quickly locked their respective goals, Anyo rushed towards Rasa, and Adamantine Staff in the hands of Third Hokage attacked Chiyo.
