"Found it."
"These are Uchiyama's house guards."
"The other party is carrying a person. He's not that fast. He shouldn't be able to run too far. Keep chasing!"
The next day, several Takigakure received the news that the nobles had been kidnapped, and were dispatched by the village to chase them here overnight.
At this time, several corpses were seen hanging on the ground and on the branches of trees, with different forms of death.
But without exception, the flesh body was cut by a sharp instrument.
It should be some kind of ninja tool.
According to the intelligence, the other party was able to sneak into the noble mansion quietly, and was only discovered by several other guard ninjas when he was about to leave the courtyard after killing a guard ninja. This shows that his strength is not simple.
Under normal circumstances, if it is a force hostile to Takigakure, it will not reach out to the nobles... because it cannot threaten or shake the foundation of the village.
Therefore, there are only two possibilities for the identity of the enemy. One is that he is hired by a force that has a grudge against Land of Waterfalls and comes from the outside world.
The other type is a group or organization within Land of Waterfalls.
Most nobles are ministers of daimyo, such as Uchiyama, who can be regarded as an adult who governs a party. It is very likely that his existence or some actions have caused losses to the interests of certain local organizations.
But Land of Waterfalls is not that big, and the village is very familiar with all the forces operating within the territory.
What's more, as a noble, Uchiyama's family guards are all hired ninjas, plus the samurai raised in the mansion, it is difficult for them to be threatened by ordinary forces.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
After briefly checking a few corpses, the team Takigakure quickly left.
Half a day later, Yubi was carrying the noble's body and galloping through a mountain forest.
Suddenly, he jumped from the air to the ground and put the body aside.
He looked back and said, "It's so fast..."
He performed some treatments on the body to prevent it from rotting, and also wrapped it in cloth.
However, carrying such a dead man, and being on someone else's territory, he was not very familiar with the environment and routes, so... he was still chased by the other party.
Swish swish swish.
A minute later, Yubi stood on the same spot, several sounds of piercing the air approached one after another, and four Takigakure fell around him, surrounding him.
A Takigakure noticed the wrapping in the grass and his heart skipped a beat.
Obviously... that is Noble Uchiyama.
But, he is already dead.
"The underground bounty killer..."
Takigakure saw Yubi's mysterious dress and said coldly.
The noble is not a ninja, and his body is of no value. If the other party just assassinates the noble, it would be okay. If he has to take away the body, there is only one possibility, to ask the person behind the scenes... In this way, the identity of the person in front of him will be revealed.
"Really... This place is not far from Land of Grass, why can't you let me leave properly..." Yubi sighed.
He just wanted to make money and didn't want to waste time. Although he did some processing of the body, if it rotted over time, he was afraid that his income would be reduced.
"Secret Technique Yamanaka que!"
Suddenly, a Takigakure Hand Seals appeared behind Yubi.
A large number of tit-like birds fell down like raindrops.
The impact of these flying birds is limited, and their main function is to interfere with Yubi's sight and space.
Yubi As soon as he turned around, the flock of birds still flying on the left suddenly dispersed, and a strange figure came towards him, holding a long knife in his hand, and slashed at his neck.
Yubi's body didn't move, he just rolled his eyes and then hooked his fingers.
The other party's body exploded into white smoke.
Clone Technique is used to conduct a trial attack.
At the same time, above his head, the flock of birds dispersed again, and the hidden identity of Takigakure finally appeared.
"The secret technique... you Takigakure still have a lot of reserves."
Yubi smiled slightly and praised.
A squeaking sound.
Above, Takigakure, who thought he had succeeded, changed his expression. The falling blade actually hovered in mid-air. When he took a closer look, he discovered that the blade was entangled with an extremely thin steel wire.
Yubi pulled his arm, and the silk thread drove the blade, causing Takigakure who jumped from a high altitude to fall to the ground.
The opponent's body is still trying to maintain balance in mid-air, but Yubi can't see any movement.
The next second, Takigakure was suddenly shot in the head and pierced into the temple with a flying knife.
Died instantly.
As soon as one was eliminated, several Kunais landed at the feet of Yubis, with burning Explosive Tags hanging on them.
Boom!
Kakkō and thick smoke rippled away accompanied by flocks of birds.
The remaining three Takigakure gathered together.
"Did it get done?"
"I feel that this person is very dangerous. I originally thought of arresting him for questioning, but now I see that I have no choice but to deal with him ruthlessly."
"Maybe he's a traitor from a certain great ninja village..."
Dang Dang Dang.
The three of them had just exchanged a few words when suddenly, large flying knives were shot out of the thick smoke.
The three of them immediately dodge or block.
The formation also dispersed subconsciously.
And at the moment when their figures were staggered, two blades flying in the air, as if controlled by some kind of force, used the large screen of blades to distract their attention, and as a cover, from an incredible angle, went around behind two of them Takigakure, one inserted into the back of the head, and the other into the back of the heart.
This incredible method of controlling ninja tools, especially in terms of flexibility and speed... was completely unexpected by the two Takigakure.
Seeing the two companions fall, Takigakure, who was left alone, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. However, a titmouse hovering above his head suddenly screamed, causing him to react. He immediately turned around and used Kunai to knock away an unexpected flying knife.
escaped this fatal blow.
"Eh?... Your secret technique is very interesting."
Yubi, who was hiding behind a tree trunk, slowly walked out.
Looking at Takigakure who was sweating profusely and terrified, he said in surprise.
There are many secret arts in this world. Most of them are somewhat different from ordinary Nature Transformation practice. They need to be cultivated from an early age and must be combined with some foreign objects, which may not necessarily be dead, but may also be living things.
But it also requires certain talents.
Such as Aburame Clan for bugs or Inuzuka Clan for Ninja Dog.
There are also Fuma Clan's secret spider techniques and so on.
The Takigakure in front of us, this method is obviously one of them.
Yubi raised his head and glanced at the little bird sitting on the tree. The knife just now was absolutely impossible for Takigakure to avoid at his level, but this tit saved his life.
"Who are you anyway?"
Takigakure said in shock and uncertainty.
The opponent was far more terrifying than he imagined... and from the beginning to the end, it seemed that he did not use too many methods. Not only was he not threatened by the offensive coordinated by several people, but he killed his teammates in an instant, and was not bombed by Explosive Tag.
What speed and reaction is this?
Yubi smiled and said nothing.
He did not use Blood Release just to avoid exposing his identity. During these days when he was out making money, even if it was to assassinate some targets, he would try his best to use more conventional means.
Seeing that Yubi didn't respond, Takigakure bit his gums, and then took out a small bottle directly from the lining.
There seems to be some kind of liquid inside.
Then, drink it all in one gulp.
"Huh?"
Yubi narrowed his eyes.
Because this Takigakure's Chakra fluctuated and suddenly began to become stronger.
In an unreasonable way, while climbing... the opponent's Chakra volume suddenly became extremely strong, and the increase was not several times, but at least dozens of times.
This is obviously a desperate effort.
"Takigakure's...Hero Water?"
Yubi reacted and spoke.
In later generations, Takigakure and Hero Water have become quite rare and will not be used casually or distributed to ninjas in the village.
It will only come in handy when it comes to the survival of the village.
But now... Takigakure's Hero Water is obviously not so tight, and there are not so many restrictions on its use.
Naturally, as the village's secret ninja, the other party might be entitled to get some of this good stuff to save his life.
This made Yubi's eyes light up.
There is Tailed Beast, there is Hero Water, and there is the secret technique Earth Grudge Fear, which can also produce characters of Kakuzu's level...Takigakure is indeed quite strong.
However, although Hero Water can increase Chakra by a huge amount in a short period of time, it also has strong side effects.
"The Tide of Secret Birdsong."
Suddenly, Takigakure activated the secret technique again.
This time, the appearance of the technique is obviously no longer an aid or interference, and its power is completely different from just now.
There was a commotion in the forest, and the surviving tits suddenly chirped in unison, creating a piercing sound field.
Invisible sound waves rushed towards Yubi.
