cheated.
The moment the third Kazekage Kurosawa rushed out of the smoke, this idea immediately appeared in his mind.
He waved his big hand, and the iron sand dust like black smoke swept in all directions, rushing away everything in front of him.
When everything was gone, the tragic and scarlet Shura field was completely reflected in his eyes.
"Master Fengying!"
"Three generations of adults!"
The sand hidden ninjas around gathered around him.
Kurosawa stretched out his hand to hold it down, signaling them to be calm.
Frowning.
No, not right.
If it was just to kill dozens of sand hidden ninjas, that old fellow Sarutobi Hiruzen would never get the reputation of being associated with the outer village. After all, some time ago, the information he sent to sand hidden was not complete. It's fake——and, the old guy's love for feathers is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
So, did Masaki Aida see through all this in advance?
Since when?
Moreover, if he had already seen through these plans, why did he appear here specially?
"."
While thinking, Kurosawa's face froze suddenly, and the iron sand behind him subconsciously flew away, and his voice was urgent:
"retreat!"
"Go back to Green Lake City!"
The sand hidden ninjas behind them were at a loss at first.
Gradually, everyone thought of an irresistible possibility.
The direction of retracement is smooth all the way.
But this kind of "unobstructed" made Kurosawa's heart more anxious and anxious.
For a distance of hundreds of kilometers, such a conspicuous group of people did not see a scouting troop patrolling the journey. Occasionally, some black blood that had dried up could be found from the bushes and the edge of the sand dunes, but the corpses had already died. Nowhere to be seen, probably eaten clean by creatures of the rainforest or desert.
Every step backwards confirmed the worst guess in his heart.
Until, back to Green Lake City.
Black smoke curled up, and the faint smell of blood splashed in the sand could be smelled tens of meters away. There was a little light behind the tall city walls, which made the slightly gloomy sky red.
In front of the gate of Green Lake City, a rotten pale wooden cane was inserted like a provocation.
At the tip, there is a head bleeding from seven orifices.
Rosa.
Kurosawa stood in front of his disciple's head, without saying a word for a long time, his eyes drooping, and no emotion could be seen on his face.
Only the ever-changing iron sand around the body expresses the man's inner violence that rises and falls like air pressure.
After a long time, he waved to the sand hidden ninjas beside him.
Dry and hoarse voice:
"Go to the fire and look for people who are still alive."
"Yes."
No one would look away at such a time, and the sand hidden ninjas behind them dispersed one after another, and rushed towards the material warehouse in the city.
As for Kurosawa, he seemed very tired.
He didn't dislike the blood stains on the ground, and sat down cross-legged slowly with the ferocious head in front of him, slightly pinched the center of his brows, and closed his eyes.
For a moment, he actually doubted whether he was right to choose to go to war.
Especially, it was at the moment when the personal disciple who had been with him the longest and almost died as the fourth generation of Kazekage by default.
But reality is like what people experience.
Everyone is being pushed by each other, and it is difficult to stop and go straight forward—no matter who is willing or not.
Sand hidden ninjas wearing Zanpakuto rushed into the city to investigate, dismantled some of the traps on the outside, and then began to extinguish the fire on the burning materials in the corner of the city, trying to rescue some of them.
The fresh water, medicinal materials, dry military rations, ninja tools, and the flammable part of the military ration pills are almost burned. Only a large number of steel ninja tools piled up inside are still intact, except that they need to be re-polished and the center of gravity has changed slightly. , you can continue to use it.
However, the rations were running out.
This is even more deadly than the loss of fresh water.
As we all know, the Land of Winds is a country where most of its borders are located in desert areas.
If it is said that fresh water can still be drawn from groundwater and found in oases, food cannot grow from the ground overnight.
Moreover, whether it is the country of fire or the country of earth, they will inevitably block their food purchase routes through various channels.
As for seeking daimyo's help.
The last daimyo of the Land of Winds is still unknown.
People in the court will not follow the same advice as the general public. The selection and succession of daimyo are all important matters related to the vital interests of their nobles, and there must be no sloppy in the slightest.
"Master Fengying!"
While waiting for the search results in the city, Kurosawa heard a shout coming from a distance.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Ye Cang, who was covered in wounds, standing beside the city gate with the support of a sand ninja, describing him as quite embarrassed.
Not only her.
There are at least 1000 Shayin ninjas stationed in Green Lake City, and Konoha ninjas who have only one squadron have never fought head-on, but even if it is a thousand pigs, let a squadron chop back and forth. That is not something that can be cut in a short while.
Let alone people.
Therefore, after a complete rout, there were not a few sand hermit ninjas who escaped from the army formation.
"Ye Cang!"
Finally seeing a familiar living person, Kurosawa strode forward and said in a hurried voice: "What happened here? How many people are there? What about the rest?"
"."
"Master Sandai. It's Masaki Aida."
Ye Cang was obviously holding on to his spirits, there were big gaps on her waist and thighs, which were simply bandaged at this time, the dirty bandages were stained with thick red blood, and her left arm was obviously abnormal. The angles are broken and the lips are white:
"Number of people. A total of 24 people."
"But everyone has Zanpakuto. Among them, there is a woman who has the ability to cut through super-large-scale barriers from the front. Everyone is very strong. I can barely block two of them."
"Their Zanpakuto has a greater bonus to Chakra, and the duration of natural energy is longer than ours, and its quality is much stronger than that of the Land of Earth."
"Luo Sha was killed by him one-on-one in a head-to-head duel in order to hold back Aida Masaki."
"And the remaining companions can't stop it at all"
As if remembering the powerlessness at that moment, Ye Cang couldn't help lowering his head with difficulty, unwilling to expose his ugly red eyes to others.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, the actual meaning was already obvious.
Kurosawa is aware of Ye Cang's strength.
Even among the well-known Jonin, her strength belongs to the top group. At the same time, she also masters the undefeatable Muji Burning Escape Secret Art, which can kill all enemies the moment she touches the Burning Escape Ball. Toast dry.
At the same time, she was also assigned a Zanpakutō.
However, it can only block two people.
"24 people."
These are all ninjas standing on the threshold of the 'shadow' level.
When did there become so many people with such tyrannical strength?
Thinking of this, Luo Sha slowly turned his head to look at the city, those more Sha Hidden injuries lying on the side of the street supported by others suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of unreality.
It's as if the ancient warrior army met head-on with a ninja who had just learned a powerful fireball technique, but was wiped out by the opponent alone.
He touched the pale scarlet on his waist, and subconsciously opened his mouth.
He didn't know if he was asking Ye Cang, or himself, but his tone was rather bleak:
"Ninja. Are you going to be eliminated by the times?"
"Jianghui?"
On the way to evacuate, Aida Masaki was thinking about something when his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a voice from his side.
Turning his head, Uchiha Shinya looked at him with some puzzlement.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Aida Masaki shook his head, touched the center of his brows, and said gently:
"fine."
Mami's gaze stayed on him for a while, to make sure that there was nothing wrong with him, and then she seemed to calm down a little.
Aida Masaki continued to rub his eyebrows.
This time, I was a little bit full of 'eating'.
It was the first time that Masaki Aida killed so many people in one go since he created the 'Starting Ball Space'.
And the souls of these ninjas after death naturally failed to be included in the pure land, but were absorbed by his first ball space as nutrients, gradually growing his own strength.
Aida Masaki could clearly feel that pieces of fragmented and messy Chakra merged into his body little by little and were continuously integrated.
However, this 'integration' will also take some time.
If it weren't for the fact that his own total amount of Chakra was beyond ordinary people's imagination, I am afraid that just the moment when these fragmented Chakra poured in at one breath would be enough to 'change' him into a different person.
Chakra is the product of life energy and spiritual energy.
However, in this fragmented chakra that seems to have been smashed, it seems that there is only a highly refined, pure chakra of the yin and evasion attributes.
How did this come about?
Simply interpreted as the characteristics of the 'beginning ball space'?
Aida Masaki had to start thinking.
After all, the number of ninjas is limited.
And in a war, the number of ninjas that can be killed by him alone is also very limited.
If it is necessary to kill people on the premise of absorbing this fragmented power, which is equivalent to one in a thousand, and can be used by him, then even if Aida Masaki kills all the ninjas in the world, he will not be able to reach the limit in this life. Less than the height of the Sage of the Six Paths.
Even, it may not even reach the level of Qianshou Zhujian.
The popularization and feedback of Zanpakuto is a very long process.
There has to be a multi-pronged approach.
Back in the tent, all the members of the knife squadron were disbanded and assigned back to the original departments. At the same time, they also reported the beginning and end of the Green Lake City victory to all levels.
Soon after the unification of the upper and lower intelligence, Hatake Sakumo will probably launch a counterattack against the sand hidden front line.
Everyone present is aware of this, so it is natural to seize the opportunity to start resting.
Aida Masaki returned to the camp with some doubts in his heart.
As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw a half-kneeling figure in the middle.
"Fuck!"
Moonlight Masaichi, who had always been hidden in Aida Masaki's shadow, reacted extremely quickly, almost at the moment Aida Masaki saw the figure, the blade as black as ink was already mercilessly placed on the man's neck .
"Zhengyi."
Aida Masaki frowned, and called him in a low voice.
"Master Jianghui. He!"
Moonlight wanted to explain something at first, but he still didn't dare to speak further when he saw Masaki Aida's calm eyes, and put away the dagger steadily.
What is a little surprising is that during the whole process, the half-kneeling figure in the tent remained motionless.
It was as if he was completely unaware that his life was on the line of life and death.
After the curtain was lifted, the light reflected inside, illuminating the face of the figure half kneeling on the ground.
It is the feeling in the mountains.
The clothes on his body were obviously scorched by the flames, and the wound was still bleeding, as if he was on the verge of death.
However, his whole temperament is like a knife that has taken off its sheath, all the sharpness is exposed outside, without the slightest impurity, without the slightest confusion and weakness.
Aida Masaki looked at him with interest, and asked:
"I said so."
"If you still want to live, you can follow me."
"Juejun, have you made up your mind?"
During the speech, he didn't take the fact that he had cheated the other party into his heart at all—or, burial and being cheated are two sides of the same thing, so why tell right from wrong?
When the thought of killing arises, one must be prepared to be killed.
And the other party obviously thought so too, and they coincidentally did not mention the previous incident.
Shanzhongjue's movements were slow and slow, and those dark eyes looked straight at him:
"If I follow you, can I... become someone like you?"
"Of course."
Aida Masaki bent down and met his gaze: "People like you and me are just mediocre ordinary people who have not been favored by the 'God', Jue-kun."
"What's the 'can'?"
"I understand."
Shan Zhongjue heard the words, and presented a scroll in his hand: "When you need me, please use the contact information above."
"I will be your knife."
"Master Aida."
Aida Masaki reached out to take it. For a professional root spy, the thing in his hand was much heavier than any oath or contract.
Almost equivalent to holding his life.
After handing over the object, Yamanakajue didn't continue to say anything, and left the camp under Yueguang Zhengyi's vigilant gaze.
It was obvious that his body was about to collapse, but after finding a goal to live on, Yamanakajue's energy and energy seemed to undergo some kind of strange transformation from the inside out.
Looking at his appearance, Yueguang Zhengyi asked in confusion:
"Master Jianghui."
"What happened to that guy?"
Aida Masaki didn't take Yamanakajuku's reaction to heart. Different people have different ways of fooling around, and there is always one that suits them.
As for what kind of self-persuasion process they have experienced in their hearts, it is unknown.
"Who knows."
However, while the two were talking, Masaki Aida suddenly paused slightly.
Inside the space of the first ball, there was once again a very subtle ray of fragmented Yin escape chakra that could not even be noticed if one didn't feel it carefully.
Aida Masaki suddenly turned his head and looked outside the tent, his eyes were a little subtle.
"Zhengyi."
"Yes."
Moonlight looked at him with puzzled eyes.
Aida Masaki stretched out his hand to rub his chin, thinking: "If there is a space ninja in this world who can constantly sharpen himself and is not afraid of death, what kind of attitude will he face?"
"Ok?"
This website has been stuck since 41:[-], and I just logged in, almost thinking that I won't be able to log in today.
I went boating today. I really don’t understand why such a big person likes to ride a duck boat. It’s so boring. There is an elephant boat next to it!
