The voice in the communication talisman was cut off by an explosion, and after the stabbing noise, there was no sound at all.
Takuma His hand shook, and the talisman paper almost fell into the muddy water. He stuffed it into his arms in a panic, muttering incoherently, "It's over, it's over, the ancestral hall... if the ancestral hall was broken into... the elders and the others..."
The two companions next to him were also confused. The hands holding the knife were shaking. You bumped into each other and I bumped against you. They were so anxious that they were spinning in circles. "Akatsuki is crazy? Aren't they here for Mr. Rinto? Why are they breaking into the village?"
"Who knew this group of lunatics! There are only a few of them, the Great Elder, and they can't stand it at all!"
The three people all turned to look at Rinto, their eyes were red, they opened their mouths several times, their words were stuck in their throats, and they couldn't form a sentence. They had no face to beg - at the entrance of the ancestral hall, their The elder pointed at him and scolded him, saying that the deal had been settled long ago, and the life and death of the village had nothing to do with him. But except for the person in front of him, no one in Land of Waterfalls could stop those evil spirits.
Rinto The fingertips holding the charcoal pencil paused for a moment, and his brows knitted into knots.
He has never been a nosy person. It has nothing to do with him whether Takigakure is blown up or whether the secret message can be preserved. But he knows very well in his heart that this group of lunatics who can forcefully break into the village for the secret message can kill Takigakure today. E has turned the world upside down. It will turn the rainforest upside down tomorrow. In addition, people from Danzo are staring at it like flies. He can't even think of finding a stable place to finish the remaining details of the configuration.
What's more, at the inn just now, these three and a half-year-old children, even though their legs were shaking, still stepped in front of him.
"Tsk."
He let out a low tut, full of irritation, and stuffed the charcoal and notebook into his backpack. The zipper was pulled too fast, and it got stuck twice before it was tightened. As soon as he threw the backpack on his back, before Takuma or the others could squeeze out another word, his figure had already jumped out. Go, tiptoe through the canopy of the rainforest, the wind blowing his hood, his mind is still spinning the parameters that were half stuck just now, and the more he thinks about it, the more furious he becomes - can't this group of people find a deserted ravine to fight? They have to blow up here and there, and they will be so noisy that they can't even remember a formula.
He finished the ten-mile journey in less than ten minutes, but his train of thought was interrupted three times along the way. He was so angry that he almost demolished the thunderstorm clouds that exploded on the roadside.
As soon as we approached the village, the heat wave mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke rushed over us. The wooden fence and warning barrier at the entrance of the village had long been blown to pieces, half of the stilt building collapsed in the stream, tongues of fire shot up along the wooden beams, and the smoke was so thick that people could not open their eyes. Hug. The villagers carrying their children cried and ran deeper into the village. The ninja who was scratched by the stray bullet lay on the ground and groaned. The remaining guards were crushed and retreated. As soon as the Water Release in their hands was released, it was blown to pieces by the explosion.
Deidara, who was riding on Clay Bird, laughed wildly, and kept throwing Clay Spider down with his hand. When it landed, it exploded, and gravel and burning sawdust flew all over the sky. "Huh? With this kind of ability? How dare you hide the secret and not let go? Take a good look at what art is!"
He raised his hand and threw out another palm-sized ball of clay, not towards the guards, but towards the stilted building with the old, weak, women and children huddled next to it. The clay expanded rapidly in the air, and the detonation lines on the surface were already bright and dazzling, and it was about to explode.
"Stop!" Takigakure Jonin who was guarding the front became red-eyed and wanted to rush over to stop him, but was entangled by Kisame's Water Prison Technique. He watched the bomb fall and his throat was broken by shouting.
The villagers hiding in the corner huddled together with their heads in their hands, so frightened that they even forgot to cry.
Just when the detonation pattern flashed brightest, the lump of clay suddenly froze. It was not blown away by the wind or doused by water, but the Chakra inside, which was used for detonation, was completely dismantled from the core. The restless clay instantly softened into a ball of mud, and fell into the mud with no sparks.
The smile on Deidara's face froze instantly, "Huh? What are you doing? Where is my art?"
The chaotic battlefield suddenly fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked in the direction of the fallen clay - on the half-collapsed wall at the entrance to the village, stood a young man in a coarse cloth coat, with the straps of his backpack hung loosely on his shoulders, and his hood slid down and piled on the back of his neck. There was no heroic look on his face, but there was uncontrollable irritability hidden in his eyes, as if he had been woken up from a nap.
"Lin, Mr. Rinto?!" The Takigakure ninja who was trapped in the water prison reacted first, with a cry of ecstasy in his voice.
In the direction of the ancestral hall, Kakuzu, who was using Earth Grudge Fear to whip Ishikawa back repeatedly, suddenly turned around. The moment he saw Rinto, his scarlet pupils suddenly shrank. The movements of the tentacle-controlling hand paused for half a beat. He had suffered losses in the inn, and he was very aware of the weirdness of this person - there were no earth-shattering Chakra fluctuations, but he could easily tear the Earth Grudge Fear he was proud of into rotten meat.
Ishikawa was hit by the shock wave against the stone wall. He coughed blood and got up. When he saw the figure on the broken wall, his tense back instantly collapsed. He shouted in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Rinto! Please... help us stop it! The ancestral hall cannot be destroyed, and the secret information cannot be lost!"
Matsushita stood at the door of the ancestral hall leaning on a wooden staff. The sleeve of his one-arm was soaked with blood, and there were several bloody cuts on his face. Just now, he was roaring and fighting against the rebels. Now he looked at Rinto, His lips moved, his face turned red, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Before, he pointed at people's noses and scolded foreign dogs, and threatened to drive people out with harsh words, but now he had to rely on people to save his life. His old face was already so hot that he couldn't even lift his head.
Rinto didn't answer Ishikawa's words, and didn't even look towards the ancestral hall. His eyes swept over Deidara on the roof, and then landed on Kisame 0 who was carrying Samehada., and finally Kakuzu. The first sentence he spoke was not a harsh word, but an angry complaint. "I just want to find a place to draw pictures quietly. Can you guys stop blowing up everywhere? It's so noisy that it hurts the brain."
"Huh? Who are you?" Deidara raised his eyebrows, controlled the bird to land on the eaves, and scanned Rinto up and down, "Did you just ruin my art?"
Kisame was carrying Samehada, grinning with his fangs exposed, staring at Rinto with great interest. "Oh? Are you the kid who beat Kakuzu away? I heard that you have something to do with Chakra. It's just right, let Samehada have a try."
Just after saying this, the three people moved almost at the same time - there is no turn system, you move and I Isshiki, just rush to solve this variable first. Deidara throws his hand and there are more than a dozen Clay Bird that are winding around the corner, the detonation pattern is so bright that it is dazzling; Kisame clapped his hands, Great Waterfall Technique came overwhelmingly, the waves wrapped in Samehada's differentiated Chakra swallowing thread; Kakuzu also gritted his teeth and urged Earth Grudge Fear, four tentacles wrapped Lightning Release and seals, going around from the side, blocking all dodge angles.
The attack was so tight that even the people at Takigakure held their breath and felt their hearts in their throats.
But Rinto didn't hide, or even jump off the broken wall.
He just raised his right hand, and the pale golden Yin-Yang Release Chakra spread out along the fingertips. It was not an overwhelming barrier, but following the trajectory of Chakra, accurately opening, guiding and sealing it. Clay Bird was the first to rush in front of him., just five meters into him, the Chakra detonated and scattered completely, turning into a group of mud lumps and falling to the ground; the flood of Kisame hit him, and the Chakra core inside was instantly To break it apart, he lightly guided it with his fingertips, and the violent water turned a corner and poured all over the stilted building next to it that was burning the most. The flames were instantly suppressed to a large extent; the last one was Earth Grudge Fear of Kakuzu. He did not break the tentacles, but just let them slide. Following the trajectory of Chakra, several nodes of the meridians in his body were sealed, and the tentacles that had been arrogant instantly softened. Kakuzu's whole body stiffened, Chakra almost flowed backwards, and a mouthful of blood was held in his throat.
In less than two seconds, the pincer attack by three people was completely eliminated, and a fire was put out by the way.
The battlefield fell silent for an instant, leaving only the sound of the fire being extinguished.
Deidara stared at the mud on the ground, then lowered his head and touched the clay bag on his waist. As soon as Chakra was condensed and exploded on his fingertips, he felt that the energy dissipated as soon as it emerged. He stuffed clay into his mouth like crazy, but no matter how hard he pressed, Chakra just couldn't gather it. The newly formed Explosive Clay instantly turned into ordinary mud.
"What the hell did you do?!" Deidara's face turned green with anger. The explosive art he relied on for survival was casually destroyed. "My art! Give it back to me!"
Kisame also frowned, Samehada was trembling uneasily in his hand. Just now, it didn't even touch the opponent's Chakra side, and the swallowing thread was completely removed.. He has devoured countless ninjas' Chakra by relying on Samehada in his life. He has never encountered such an opponent who can't even touch the traces of Chakra. If he continues to waste more, he will be asking for trouble.
Kakuzu covered his chest, his face pale. He could clearly feel that the flow of several Chakras fused with the heart in his body were completely chaotic. If he pressed Earth Grudge Fear again, I'm afraid the one that collapsed first would be Kakuzu. His own body. He has lived for nearly a hundred years and has fought against countless strong men. He has never seen such an unreasonable ability - no matter what Ninjutsu you put in, they will mess you up from the root and not even give you a chance to fight.
Rinto stood on the broken wall, his brows still furrowed, and the irritability in his tone became more serious. "Have you had enough trouble? If you want to go to other places to fight, don't make noise here. If it explodes again, I won't just block Chakra."
He didn't kill him, it wasn't because he was kind-hearted, he just thought it was troublesome. If he really killed these people here, Akatsuki would definitely look for him like crazy in the future, and he wouldn't even think of doing research quietly. He drove them away, Qing Jing.
Kakuzu gritted his teeth, stared at him, and looked in the direction of the ancestral hall unwillingly. Finally, he gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed into the rain forest outside the village without even looking back. Kisame spat, carried Samehada and took a deep look at Rinto, without stopping for a long time, turned around and left.
Only Deidara was left, still competing with his Chakra on the roof, stamping his feet angrily, but he couldn't even squeeze out any explosive clay, so he could only say harshly, "Wait for me! Sooner or later I will show you what real art is!" After saying that, he summoned the only remaining Clay Bird that had not been dismantled, rode on it and flew away with curses.
The menacing three S-class rebellious ninjas just ran away.
The village was silent for a long time before it was broken by the suppressed cries of the villagers. The Takigakure ninjas still held knives in their hands and froze in place, unable to react for a long time - the evil god who had just forced them into despair was driven away by Rinto with a few words and a few blows?
Ishikawa staggered over and ran over. The wounds on his body were still bleeding, but he didn't bother to wipe them. He bowed deeply to Rinto, bending almost to his knees, and his voice was shaking. "Mr. Rinto, I can't thank you enough for your kindness... If it weren't for you today, we Takigakure would really be doomed."
Matsushita also moved over with a wooden stick. He had to be strong all his life and had never lowered his head to anyone. Now he was standing in front of Rinto with his head buried low and his one arm clenched into a fist. His knuckles were white. He held it in for a long time before finally finally A few intermittent words were squeezed out of the throat, and the voice was dry and astringent. "Before... before, I was an old fool, spoke irritably, looked down upon others, and I'm sorry for you. I, I also do it for the village, I have no other intentions... I owe you this time, we will remember it."
After saying that, he bowed stiffly, his back straightened all his life, and even his back was shaking when he bent. After saying those complimentary words, his face became even redder and his head buried even lower.
Rinto waved his hands and did not answer their words. He jumped down from the broken wall, glanced around first, and his eyes fell on a little ninja whose legs were blown to pieces beside the stilt building that had been targeted by the bomb just now. The child was only ten years old, and his whole body was shaking with pain, and blood was flowing out uncontrollably. The medical ninja was busy saving the seriously injured elder, and he couldn't take care of it. The moaning and crying made him have a headache.
He frowned and walked over, squatting down. The little ninja was startled, and endured the pain and shrank back, his eyes full of awe. Rinto said nothing, and a little light golden Chakra condensed on his fingertips, and he pressed it gently on his wound. Yang Release's energy seeped into the wound, and the torn muscles and broken blood vessels slowly healed, and the bleeding that had been unstoppable soon stopped.
"Thank you, thank you sir!" The little ninja was stunned for a long time before he realized what he was doing. He hurriedly pushed himself up to bow, but was held down by Rinto.
"Stop shouting." He said, got up and left. It wasn't that he was kind-hearted and wanted to save people, it was the child who was moaning and whining, which made him confused.
The villagers and ninjas who gathered around bowed to him and thanked him. He pretended not to notice them at all and only asked Ishikawa: "Is there a quiet place? Away from people."
Ishikawa was stunned for a moment, reacted immediately, and nodded quickly. "Yes! Yes! There is a private courtyard next to the ancestral hall. It was used to house distinguished guests from outside. The courtyard has high walls and is far away from the crowd. It is very quiet! I have asked people to clean it up a long time ago!" He was afraid that Rinto would refuse, so he hurriedly said He added nonchalantly, "Look, it's going to be dark soon. It's impossible to walk at night in the rain forest. The miasma is very heavy. A few days ago, a caravan member got lost in the night and got stuck in the mire. Besides, the people from Akatsuki might still be hiding outside. We don't worry about you walking alone."
"The soup is already simmering in the kitchen. The hot rice and dishes will be ready soon. You have been up all day and all night, so you have to eat something hot and take a break. By the way, I also asked someone to prepare new pen and paper for you. They are in the room. If you want to write something, it is convenient."
Rinto paused, lowered his head and touched his backpack. The notebook and drawings were all there, but he had rushed all the way here, and with the melee just now, he had forgotten all the optimization details he had thought about before. It was really difficult to walk in the rainforest after dark, and even if he was not afraid of wild beasts and ambushes, he would not be able to draw drawings on the road in the dark.
He hesitated for two seconds and nodded. "Okay. Just stay one night and leave early tomorrow morning."
"Hey! Okay! Okay!" Ishikawa was overjoyed and quickly called to the young ninja beside him, "Quick! Go and see if the hot water in the yard is ready! Then light up the mosquito repellent herbs!"
Rinto was led to the small courtyard next to the ancestral hall. It was indeed very quiet. The courtyard wall was very high, and the noise of putting out fires and cleaning up the mess outside was far away. The room was clean and tidy, with new pens and paper, grinded ink on the table, and even two pots of mosquito repellent grass placed by the window. It was obvious that they had inquired about his preferences in advance and prepared them specially.
As soon as he put his backpack on the table, he immediately took out his notebook and charcoal, and while there were still some scattered ideas in his mind, he quickly wrote them down on paper. The sound from outside came through the courtyard wall, faintly, not too noisy, just enough to be used as background sound.
Just after I had finished a few strokes, there was a gentle knock on the door, followed by Ishikawa's cautious voice, and the soft sound of the food box colliding, "Mr. Rinto? The food has been delivered to you, could you please open the door? I also brought you some herbs to treat bruises. You might have picked it up on your way just now, so it's always good to have it ready."
