Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 17: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! (Seeking follow-up recommendation votes and monthly tickets)

“Our mission is not to protect.”

"It's just in case. If the air ninja takes action, we must also take action."

Xingxia Xiu explained: "The second point is if the air ninja did not take action."

"We need to intercept the air ninjas on their way back!"

Inuzuka Ling and the other two looked at each other intently when they heard this. Aburame Fei said, "Captain, in other words, no matter what, we must kill the air ninja that came this time!"

Xing Xiaxiu said lightly: "That's right."

“Remember, this is the code and style of the roots.”

"Eliminate all those who pose a threat to the village."

"Those whom the ANBU cannot kill, the Root will kill!"

Sarutobi Atsushi and the other two couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end when they heard this.

So domineering!

……

In front, Jiraiya, who was hurrying on his way, suddenly looked back and said to Orochimaru on his right: "Hey, Orochimaru, you should have noticed it too, right?"

Orochimaru said calmly, "It should be someone from the Anbu, just in case."

Tsunade frowned and looked back, then said: "Does the air ninja dare to attack us?"

Jiraiya said solemnly, "Stealing information on the secrets of sealing techniques and border defense deployment intelligence, there shouldn't be anything they wouldn't dare to do, right?"

"In short, it's better to be careful."

Tsunade and Orochimaru nodded in unison after hearing this.

Speechless all the way.

After noon, the two teams crossed the border of the Fire Country and entered the Hot Spring Country one after another.

2 p.m.

On a spacious lawn, Jiraiya and the other two met the Sky Ninja.

There were five air ninjas in total, one of whom was tied up with ropes.

Tsunade just glanced at it and then disappeared with a cold snort: "As expected, perfunctory!"

Orochimaru said, "It's as expected."

Jiraiya stepped forward and said, "You two guys, don't let me down!"

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Don't worry, Tsunade is here, you won't die."

Jiraiya couldn't help but raise a finger behind him.

at the same time.

An air ninja on the opposite side was also escorting people towards Jiraiya.

Finally, the two sides stopped when they were five or six steps apart.

"This is the person you want!"

Kong Ren shouted coldly, then reached out and pushed the person tied up with ropes, with a sinister and cruel smile in his eyes.

One step, two steps, three steps.

When they were close, the bound Sky Ninja suddenly broke free from the ropes and pounced towards Jiraiya.

"careful!"

Tsunade exclaimed.

Orochimaru's eyes focused and his hands quickly formed seals.

Jiraiya had been on high alert. He exerted force on his feet, leaped backwards, and formed seals with his hands.

But the two were too close to each other and there was no time, and smoke came out of the air ninja who rushed over.

"Oh no, it's a detonating talisman!"

"Clone!"

Rumble!
Flames exploded and smoke billowed, completely enveloping Jiraiya.

"Jiraiya!"

Tsunade was shocked and angry, and she rushed out: "Asshole, go to hell!"

Boom!

The ground exploded and Tsunade kicked out a huge crater.

But the air ninja jumped back to avoid the attack and sneered coldly: "You are the ones who will die!"

"No, we will leave one behind as a hostage!" Before he finished speaking, the three air ninjas behind him had already come to the front and completed the hand seals.

The wind was raging, flames were spewing, and shurikens were whistling.

Rumble!
In front of Tsunade, a stone wall rose from the ground, enduring the fierce wind, flames, and shuriken attacks.

"Tsunade, I'm fine..."

Behind him, after the fire and smoke dissipated, Zilai's very embarrassed figure was revealed.

"Luckily, I just completed a new technique, otherwise I would have really died this time!"

Jiraiya grinned.

Just at the critical moment, he activated the newly developed Chaos Lion Hair Technique, wrapped himself with hardened hair, blocked most of the power of the explosion, and was not injured.

At this time, Orochimaru behind him said: "Don't say such things too early, let's kill them first!"

Surprisingly, there were two more air ninja teams on each side.

In other words, at this moment they were surrounded by twenty air ninjas.

Moreover, although there seemed to be no air ninjas behind him, Orochimaru guessed that there might be air ninjas lying in ambush in the woods behind him.

The only good news was that there was a team of Anbu ninjas behind them who might be able to guard their retreat.

And right now.

In the forest behind Orochimaru and the others, behind the four ambushing sky ninjas, Xiu Xia Xing, who was like a yellow bird, gestured to Inuzuka Ryo and the other two after hearing the explosion.

Do it!

The hidden Sarutobi Atsushi was the first to leap out, swinging his hands continuously, and the kunai with detonating tags flew out.

Amidst the sounds of explosions, four hidden ninjas immediately rushed out from their hiding places.

Teeth to teeth!

Inuzuka Ling and his summoning beast, the black ball, leaped up and accurately hit an air ninja.

At the same time, the insects of Aburame Feiyi were a black mass, wrapping up an air ninja.

The last one to take action was Xingxia Xiu, but he killed people even faster.

The moment he jumped up, his body split into three.

The captain of the Sky Ninja Team only blocked one blow before his body was cut into three pieces and fell from the air.

When Inuzuka Ryo solved his target, the three stars under the Hideya had already cut the second sky ninja's neck with a sword.

In less than five seconds, all four air ninjas were eliminated.

The shadow clone dissipated, and Xingxiaxiu continued to rush out of the forest.

Behind him, Sarutobi Atsushi and the other two followed closely.

shhhhhh!
The four of them fought their way out of the forest. On the flat grass, Tsunade and the others were already fighting with many air ninjas. It was completely unsuitable to use large-scale ninjutsu for covering attacks.

Xingxia Xiu swept his eyes and locked onto Tsunade's figure. He raised his arms, holding the shuriken in his hands, opened his mouth and blew, and the wind chakra attached to them, and then he threw them out one after another.

Two high-speed rotating windmills roared out one after another, heading straight for an air ninja who was besieging Tsunade.

The Sky Ninja immediately abandoned Tsunade, leaped up and flew, and accurately pierced the hollow of the first shuriken with his knife, then slashed it and collided with the second shuriken that was whistling from behind.

Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, the two shurikens flew away.

But just as Kong Ren landed on the ground, two Xing Xia Xiu came from both sides.

clang!
The air ninja, holding a knife in one hand and a kunai in the other, blocked the attacks of Xingxia Xiu's two shadow clones.

But Xingxia Xiu's real body fell from the sky, and the knife blessed with wind chakra cut through the skull of the sky ninja, splitting his head into two.

At this moment, the two shadow clones exploded one after another, but were hit by shuriken from another air ninja.

Xingxia Xiu used the air ninja he had killed as a shield to block a kunai, then drew his sword from the corpse, and the mud and grass under his feet exploded. The chakra burst made his speed increase dramatically, and he killed the air ninja who was attacking him as fast as lightning.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The two ninja swords collided at high speed, sparks flying everywhere.

Suddenly, Xingxia Xiu raised his foot and kicked his opponent away, and the ninja sword in his hand flew out, piercing the chest of Kong Ren with a puff.

And Xingxia Xiu followed closely, grabbed the hilt of the knife, and pushed the Sky Ninja on the knife to hit another Sky Ninja with a bang.

Release the knife and move away.

Xingxia Xiu appeared behind the enemy, and the Rasengan appeared in his right hand.

boom!
The Rasengan accurately hit the back of the Sora Ninja, blasting him into the ground and forming a big pit.

The clothes on Kongnin's back were shredded, and spiral scars appeared on his skin.

Although it looked like a flesh wound, the penetrating power of the Rasengan had actually shattered his spine and internal organs, leaving him dead beyond belief.
