Naruto: Konoha Uzumaki Shirataki

Chapter 63 Counterattack and Small Victory

The leader Yu Nin didn't know what Shirataki meant. Didn't the forehead protectors on their heads clearly indicate their identities? But Yu Ren, the leader, was worried about the speed Shirataki showed when he appeared, so he decided to answer honestly, "That's right."

Then, the leader Yu Ren frowned and asked cautiously, "I wonder what you mean by blocking our way?"

Shirataki's eyes narrowed slightly under his mask, and he said with a hint of impatience, "What I'm talking about refers to all of you here. Are those children behind you also your Amegakure ninjas?"

With a slight hint of momentum, Shirataki's tone became more severe: "I suggest you think carefully before speaking!"

In just a moment, the leader Yu Nin felt the huge pressure coming from Shirataki's body. His complexion changed drastically, his hands and feet were cold, and cold sweat dripped from his head. The strength gap between the two sides was clearly revealed just by Shirataki's release of momentum.

All the rain ninjas, facing this high-intensity mental pressure mixed with Shirataki's murderous intent, could not help but tremble in their hands and feet, and even their weapons were a little unsteady.

At this moment, the leader Yu Ren clearly realized two extremely cruel facts: "The murderous intent of this mysterious man does not seem to be fake, which means that the other party is an enemy."

Judging from this huge momentum, all of them together are no match for each other. Death seems to be close at hand.

No, it’s not that there is no turning point! The leader Yu Ren struggled to resist Shirataki's aura, his eyes flashing crazily and his brain spinning rapidly. "The other party didn't take action immediately, which means he cares about the children in our hands."

"They are not ninjas from the Rain Hidden Village!" The leader, the Rain Ninja, mustered up his courage and roared, "They are civilians, civilian children kidnapped by us!"

When Bai Taki saw that the leader Yu Ren changed his words, he put down his momentum and quietly observed the other party's facial expressions and various subtle movements of the body.

Breathing heavily, the leader Yu Ren stared at Shirataki. Seeing that this trick worked, he ignored the restlessness of the crowd behind him and roared, "If you don't want to see these innocent children die for no reason, hurry up." Make way for us to leave!"

In this critical moment of life and death, the leader Yu Ren lied. He decided to risk his life on the mysterious man's moral bottom line.

"That's it." Bai Taki nodded slightly, holding the handle of the knife at his waist with his right hand, and then the long knife slowly unsheathed, making a harsh friction sound.

"The look in your eyes tells me you are lying." Shirataki's words were very calm, as if he was stating an insignificant fact. "Although I don't know the identities of those children, it is indisputable that they are related to you Yu Ren." fact."

"Since we are all enemies, let us all die."

The leader Yu Ren opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to say something, but the next second, his consciousness fell into stasis.

Bai Taki didn't know when he came to the side of the leader Yu Ren. He waved his arm and slapped the opponent hard with his palm.

The remaining rain ninjas didn't see clearly what had just happened. Of course, they also couldn't see clearly what would happen next moment.

Because the turbulent air waves caused by Shirataki's movement had already blown them all away, and the ear-piercing sonic booms followed just now.

Bang! After a loud explosion, dirt and gravel flew. Shirataki's eyes were still calm, looking at the rain ninjas who were swept up by the shock wave.

In the moment when the rain ninjas were completely unresponsive, Shirataki took out the ninja sword from the alien space and raised the long sword. Cold light bloomed as his steps moved slightly, and countless pale sword lights suddenly lit up in the smoke-filled air.

The air was cut open, the floating sand and gravel were crushed, and each of the rain ninjas floating in the air had turned into blurry pieces of flesh, and even the corpses could not be assembled completely.

The leader, Yu Ren, had long been shaken by Shirataki's palm and disappeared. Perhaps he had been beaten into a pulp, or perhaps he was shot away at a speed invisible to the naked eye. His fate was doomed from the moment Shirataki suddenly launched a close combat against him and he failed to react in time.

And when all the dust settled, Shirataki sheathed his sword, and the blood rain fell from the sky. Only five seconds passed. All the ninjas had been decapitated, but Shirataki did not turn around and leave, but remained silent, his cold eyes constantly looking at the surviving people in front of him.

It was indeed a group of children, about five or six in number, both boys and girls, generally under ten years old. At this time, they were trembling and looking at Bai Taki with fearful eyes. Although he said to kill them all, when the blade was about to slice through their young bodies, Shirataki still deliberately avoided it.

War is a game between adults, so what's the point of involving children? This was Shirataki's sudden idea, so he decisively decided to follow his own idea. It may be said that it is a matter of moral mysophobia, or it may be a discovery of conscience.

In short, Shirataki is not ruthless enough to attack women and children, so he finally plans to let these children go and leave them a way to survive. What relationship do these children have with Yu Ren? Shirataki is too lazy to think about it. He just needs to follow his heart when doing things.

"Get out." He spat out such a word lightly, and Shirataki slowly released a trace of momentum. At the same time, he held the handle of the knife, and the cold light of the knife was exposed from the sheath. The children screamed in surprise, and then ran away like headless flies. After a while, they all dispersed.

As for whether they could survive or whether they would be killed by other Konoha ninjas passing by, that was no longer within Shirataki's consideration.

After a while, seeing that there was no trace of the group of children in his field of vision, Shirataki retracted his attention and walked aimlessly among the woods, heading towards his next group of targets.

It was already evening in a blink of an eye.

Shirataki stood on a low mound, silently looking down from a high place. This place was more than fifty kilometers away from the Konoha camp, which was the furthest advance distance stipulated by Mito Gate Flame.

Although Shirataki was very motivated to kill Rain Ninja, he could not blatantly disobey the commander's orders and go deep into the Land of Rain alone. So Shirataki stayed here for the time being, observing the situation nearby and paying attention to the signal flares of Konoha ninjas.

But now it is no different than at the beginning. After Konoha's all-out attack, the rain ninjas have either escaped and successfully retreated, or they have been captured by mistake, or they are dead.

Although Shirataki can find enemies through his secondary eyes, he also knows that if he continues to struggle, he will probably gain nothing.

In fact, after a series of searches, sensing, and attacks this afternoon, not to mention the gains made by Konoha's other fronts, Shirataki alone had eliminated an entire seven teams of rain ninjas.

In addition to the three teams of Ame-nin at the beginning, he hunted four more teams of Ame-nin, and a total of nearly ten Amegakure jounin fell into Shirataki's hands.

Shirataki moved his stiff neck slightly, raised his head and looked at the sky. The sun was setting in the west, and before he knew it, it was dusk, and night was falling.

"It's getting late. Is it time to return to camp?" Shirataki looked at the horizon and frowned tightly. For the entire afternoon, he did not see a single signal bomb being activated. This shows that Konoha's party hastily organized During this pursuit, Hanzo did not show up, and he showed no reaction at all to the fact that the Rain Ninja were being annihilated in large numbers.

Shirataki always felt that something was wrong. Hanzo had been silent until now. This was very inconsistent with the other party's previous behavior style. Considering the sudden and headless retreat of the Amegakure, Shirataki found it strange, as if the top management of Amegakure Village deliberately arranged for the Amegakure to die.

If the order to "retreat" was given by Hanzo, then what he did was not just stupid and incompetent. In Shirataki's view, even the most stupid person would never do such a thing that would harm himself or others.

If the order was not given by Hanzo, but by other senior leaders of Amegakure...then it can be understood that there is something wrong with the leadership of Amegakure, and what is happening now is likely to be carried out through the hands of the enemy. Internal cleaning operation?

"No, this reason is too ridiculous." Shirataki shook his head secretly, and immediately denied this speculation. He is still fighting now. No matter what internal conflicts Amegakure has, he should not do it when facing a powerful enemy like Konoha. Choose to break out now.

Strange, everything was too strange, the rain ninja collapsed without a fight, and Konoha's great victory came too inexplicably.

"Forget it, at least the benefits are real." Shirataki muttered and decided not to speculate on Hanzo's plan. Anyway, this matter was not his business, so he just let Mito Kadoyan go. It's a headache.

The large-scale sweep of Konoha that started at noon was completely concluded by evening. All fronts had achieved considerable gains. No matter from any aspect, this operation was an undoubted success.

This result can be regarded as the biggest victory since the war between Konoha and Amegakure. Whether it was the number of enemies annihilated, areas occupied, or supplies captured, all the Konoha ninja dispatched this time had a satisfactory answer.

Although the senior officials were still suspicious of Yugakure's abnormal behavior, this did not affect the excitement of the lower-level ninjas at all. When Shirataki returned to the camp, he saw scenes of joy and excitement.

Almost all the ninjas walked out of their tents and lit bonfires in various open spaces. Pieces of orange-red firelight dispersed the dark night sky, illuminating the entire camp as bright as day.

The ninjas gathered in circles according to their relationship, chatting, playing cards, drinking, smoking... Some male ninjas who drank too much even took off their shirts openly and started messing around with their companions.

Some people cried, some laughed, some sang loudly, some drank in silence, and some just stared blankly at the fire in trance. All Konoha ninjas were using their own way to vent the pressure of this period of time.

The fear of facing Rain Ninja and Hanzo, seemingly powerless to fight back, the anger and sadness that arose when his companions were killed... all of this was finally reversed today. No matter what the reason was, it was an indisputable fact that Hanzo acted like a coward and Yu Ninja even ran away without a fight.

"These people have really been depressed for a long time..." Shirataki sighed, stood quietly, and observed the celebration activities of the Konoha ninjas for a while, then closed his eyes and gently exhaled a breath of turbid air. The atmosphere here made Shirataki feel a little emotional. These ninjas cheered for victory, were grateful to survive, and enjoyed every minute they were alive.

Most of the ninjas present are chuunin or so, and are not very powerful on this battlefield. They may be frightened in the face of battle, but they can still swing their fists decisively. This is the power brought by the will of fire. ?
