"Arrogant brat..."
A swish sound.
Listening to Yubi's words, several Kirigakure appeared from the darkness one after another.
One of them stared at him with a sarcastic look on his face.
Obviously, their three-person team was also regarded as a team of pure newcomers like Konoha who came to the battlefield to experience.
"A bunch of trash."
Xie looked at the Kirigakure who seemed to have a chance to win, and said indifferently.
Huh?
Hearing this, Kirigakure's expressions suddenly became a little unbearable.
"I agree."
Yubi also smiled.
Whoosh!
Without any nonsense, the Kirigakures immediately dispersed and attacked from all directions towards the tree trunk where the three of them were standing.
One of them held a chain-like weapon and swung it through the air. One end of the chain pulled a sharp sickle and cut into the scorpion's neck.
The other one, Kirigakure, was also the fastest guy. When he moved through a tree trunk, his figure strangely "disappeared" in mid-air. There was already a light mist in the forest, and the light was slightly dim, which was very suitable for performing some ninja techniques that deceive perception.
Scorpion just moved his fingers, and Kirigakure, who was holding the chain tightly and jumping nearby... was instantly controlled by the "puppet" he controlled, and was suddenly hugged in the air.
The puppet's arms were like shackles, tightly wrapped around Kirigakure's body.
Then... the neck of the puppet opens, revealing its mechanism.
No matter how much Kirigakure struggled, it was to no avail. The puppet and Kirigakure fell from the air together. When they fell to the ground, Kirigakure's entire face had been cut open by the puppet's mechanism, and blood was splashed all over the ground.
And Yubi here.
His eyes seemed unable to find the "invisible" Kirigakure.
But a few meters away, there was the sound of a drop of blood penetrating an object.
A corpse fell down.
He arranged and scattered many blood beads in the space around their team, forming a seemingly simple "field".
Although it is not as airtight as Third Kazekage, as long as the enemy does not notice it and appears near the blood beads, he will be attacked immediately... This simple use of the ability is not enough for him to use Hand Seals.
Almost at the same time that Kirigakure took action, Xie and Yubi did not move.
But Arai, as Elite Jōnin, took the initiative.
Arai ignored Kirigakure who attacked them, but directly attacked the target at the back. As soon as he made a move, it was like thunder.
Accompanied by several strong winds whistling and pulling in the forest, soon... this Kirigakure team was completely wiped out.
After everything was done, Arai jumped back onto the tree trunk and stood between the two of them. His lips moved softly, as if he was saying something to Scorpion and Yubi.
And behind several tree trunks nearly a hundred meters away from them.
Several figures clung to the bark of the tree, feeling chilled in their hearts.
They "witnessed" this scene.
This is also a four-person Konoha team.
One Special Jōnin serves as the teacher, and the remaining three are students.
The Kirigakures who attacked Sunagakure were actually coming for them... but unexpectedly started fighting with the three Sunagakures in front of them.
Their team and the Konoha team outside the forest in the white fog were running a mission. The two teams acted together and helped each other.
After being discovered and pursued by Kirigakure, the two teams separated and ran away... without engaging in combat.
Because for teachers, protecting the safety of students is always the first priority.
But unexpectedly, neither team left Kirigakure behind...
Even though this place is far away from the battlefield, the number of ninjas active in Tian Country is complicated, so... it is normal for people from Sunagakure to be here.
The teacher who led the team, at first... hoped that Kirigakure and Sunagakure would fight each other and reap the benefits, but they did not expect that the seemingly "weak" Sunagakure trio would actually kill Kirigakure in a short time.
Totally crushing...
"Especially... those two teenagers."
As the captain and teacher, Yano secretly poked half of his head out from behind the tree and carefully observed the three "black spots".
If another Konoha team can successfully deal with Kirigakure and join them... they may even be able to fight against the Sunagakure in front of them.
The only adult in the opposing team... Judging from the efficiency of killing Kirigakure, it was Jonin.
The strength is definitely above him!
With such a strong person around, once they are discovered, his three students may not be spared.
"The red-haired one is the puppet master... Although he is very young, he can kill Kirigakure in an instant, at least at the level of Chunin. The other kid's methods were not noticed at all... but he must be not weak in strength. The real troublesome one is the man standing in the middle of them..."
Yano's eyes became a little stiff as he rolled them.
This trio of Sunagakure is definitely not an ordinary training team.
It is a task force with rich experience.
During this period, Sunagakure, who was able to come to Tianzhi Country for activities, must have mainly focused on gathering intelligence on the battlefield.
"Wait a minute."
Suddenly, Yano thought of something.
Three people...
One big and two little ones, especially the age of two of them.
Suddenly, Yano's face changed slightly.
He thought of one thing. Nearly a year ago, a Sunagakure team intercepted and killed their Konoha resource transportation team. Because of the exposed route, the village had to find a new transportation route.
This incident happened during the war, and it was normal... The reason why it was noticed by the village was because this Sunagakure team only had three people... Moreover, in the follow-up pursuit sent by the village, the opponent killed two veteran Jonin from their village.
This is a "serious" loss to the village.
In addition, some time ago... Konoha and Iwagakure were fighting fiercely. At that time, there was a Sunagakure team frequently harassing the rear of the battle line. Although the impact was not big, it was still well known by some troops.
This team was very cunning. Because they were relatively small in number, they only circled around small fronts and moved around frequently. Given the battle conditions on the front lines at that time, it was inconvenient to target them.
Mainly the people who lead the team are very experienced... at first glance, they are veterans.
Later, the village integrated information and determined that the Sunagakure team was the trio that killed Ryosuke and Otani.
Among them, Ryosuke was killed by the opponent's Elite Jōnin, and Otani... seemed to have died at the hands of one of the teenagers.
Otani is the famous Taijutsu strong man in their village, and even the veteran Jonin.
"It's them... Arai of Sunagakure, and Sunagakure's genius puppet master... I think he's called Scorpion... As for that kid... he's the guy who killed Otani? His name is... Yubi?" Thinking of this, Yano's scalp went numb in an instant.
The reason why Konoha was so aware of the three of them was not only due to his powerful intelligence gathering ability, but also due to the secret skills of the Yamanaka Clan. At that time, Inoichi Yamanaka had definitely sensed the three of them, and through the description, he confirmed the identity of Arai from Ryosuke... thus bringing the scorpion and Yubi into the village's sight.
"Oops..."
Yano swallowed.
On his forehead, a drop of cold sweat flowed unconsciously.
He gestured towards the students hiding behind a tree a few meters away.
The meaning conveyed made the three students immediately stunned and turned pale.
At this time, Yano suddenly noticed that Arai seemed to be secretly talking to Xie and Yubi.
A bad premonition immediately set off alarm bells in his head.
Whoosh.
In the next second, in his eyes, the three black spots that were originally standing on the tree suddenly turned into a blur and disappeared in different directions.
"Run, go to the fog!"
Yano's pupils shrank and he immediately shouted.
He knew... his team had been discovered!
