Chapter 69 The Worries of Tsukuyano
Chapter 69 The Worries of Tsukuyano
As night fell, Kusano and Kaguya still hadn't found a place for Class 7 to rest.
"Lord Kusano, I'm sorry..." Shiotani Masami was also trying to sense his surroundings, but he didn't find any enemies.
After all, although the Shioya clan has "sensory ninjutsu", it focuses on sensing aura, and Shioya is not even a beginner. Otherwise, she would not have failed to see through Akashi and Ranmai's transformation techniques before.
Tongcaono shook his head and said, "It's good that you were able to find those merchants. You've done a great job."
In this combined squad from Kirigakure, the true sensory expert was Mizawa. He was originally responsible for covering the rear during the scouting mission, and he was the first to discover that he had fallen under Akaishi's illusion. He had already escaped the area, but was killed by Shiokawa, who was under the illusion.
Letting Xigu sense things was like forcing a duck onto a shelf, since although she has talent, she is still young...
But as soon as he thought of this, Kusano couldn't help but recall the Konoha ninja he had fought last night!
Was she eight or nine years old? At most, she couldn't be more than ten!
Minato was only ten years old, and compared to Kirigakure, which was constantly plagued by internal strife, Konoha was full of people with faces that looked like they had never been bullied, making him look even younger...
Kaguya also told Kusano that the two kids who escaped from her control were about the same age, no more than twelve years old!
To have such strength at such a young age is already terrifying. Moreover, among the three known individuals, there is a sealing ninja, a sensory ninja, and even... that sensory ninja is stronger than Mingze.
When she first logged in, Tousano vaguely sensed a gaze. She then asked Mizawa to keep an eye on her, but he didn't find anything, so Tousano didn't take it seriously.
However, it now seems that the other party's perception distance is farther and more accurate than Mingze's, and they were unaware that they were being followed by three children!
As for Shioya... while he's called "young," he's almost 20 years old, which only applies to the "sensory ninja" level.
However, Kirigakure's trip wasn't without its gains...
Shioya couldn't sense the seal of the Uzumaki clan at all, so of course she couldn't find Akaishi and the others, but she did find three merchants from the Land of Waves.
Tongcaono didn't make things difficult for them and took them back first.
……
When Tsukuyano returned to their temporary base on the shore, she first asked Ryu, "How is Juzu doing?"
Upon hearing this, Liu shook his head helplessly.
Tongcaono remained silent for a moment, and did not ask any further questions...
Juzu and Lianye are the medical ninjas of this joint team!
This joint team is actually a joint team formed by three Jonin—Kusano Eijin, Kaguya Isosuke, and Ryu—plus Juzu Renba, a special Jonin specializing in medical treatment. Each of the four leads a team of three Chunin.
It includes Mingze, a sensory ninja, as well as Liu, a sealing ninja, and Jiao Tu, a medical ninja, making it a very well-rounded team.
only……
Before Juzu Lianye could play any role, she was severely burned all over her body by the enemy's AOE attack, and her stamina was constantly depleting. It was good enough that she could stay alive, as she was unable to refine chakra for medical treatment.
The results achieved by Akaishi were actually greater than he had imagined!
Although the Great Fire Dragon's true form did not burn anyone after passing through eight Water Release techniques, thus failing to kill them as Akaishi had imagined, Akaishi also did not expect that the high-temperature steam that surged over would cause seven of the eight people to suffer severe burns all over their bodies.
Unfortunately, the medical ninja was the one who was most seriously injured, and now he can't even heal himself!
Mingze was killed outright, and his body was never brought back, leaving the joint team "blind".
"How is Boza's injury?" Tousano asked in turn.
"The chakra seal has been broken. If we go back sooner... we might avoid any lasting health problems," Ryu asked tentatively.
Ryu was injured in a sneak attack by Minato, but it wasn't serious. After recovering, he even released the seals on four Chunin teammates—they were all just released.
However, due to the lack of medical ninjas, Urami Namizawa's combat power was greatly reduced because of his severe hand injuries, and he urgently needed treatment, otherwise he might be left with a disability.
Jiao Tu, who was in charge of medical care, was already lying down due to burns all over her body...
Tong Kusano understood Liu's meaning and frowned, saying, "Someone will come to pick us up in a day!"
Of course, Tokusano knew that her situation was very bad and she needed treatment, but...
Kusano wanted to kill those three Konoha genin even more!
The Hidden Mist Village has been in turmoil for too long. In Kusano's view, if Lord Kokutachi wants to realize his ambitions, simply bridging the conflict between the ninja clans and the common people is not enough. After so much chaos, the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village have become quite wild.
Rather than hoping that everyone can sit together peacefully, it would be better to lead everyone to fight a powerful enemy—this would be more likely to achieve peace in the Water Kingdom, and perhaps even allow for expansion.
And the first choice for this target is the Land of Fire!
Firstly, the Land of Fire possesses the most fertile land on the continent. Secondly... Konoha doesn't seem as strong as before, so does the Land of Fire's land and resources still match its strength?
However, at that moment, Kusano suddenly encountered a genius from Konoha...
Deeply affected, Kusano also desperately wanted to nip Konoha's seedlings in the bud, otherwise, if a real war broke out in the future, these three might become three Jonin, or even elite Jonin.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, what Kusano was thinking at that moment was that as long as these three promising young talents of Konoha could be killed, it would be worth it even if all his Chunin brothers died!
Kusano looked around and then asked, "Has Kaguya not returned yet?"
They had agreed that even if they didn't find any enemies, they would return before 10 p.m.
To avoid being picked off one by one by those three brats...
"not yet……"
boom--
Liu had barely finished speaking when a violent explosion came from afar!
Upon hearing the sound, Kusano and Ryu immediately rushed towards the direction from which the explosion had come, but just then...
A melodious tune drifted over, and Minato Namikaze emerged in the moonlight, deliberately blowing on the leaves.
Kusano Kazunari's face darkened for a moment, then he remained silent, watching with a mixture of anticipation and expectation as Kusano approached, but...
Just as Minato was about to step into the range of the "sealing technique", he suddenly stopped.
After that, Minato neither stepped forward nor spoke, but just watched them with a smile—clearly, the trap-type sealing technique set up by Ryu at the base could not escape Minato's perception at all.
"Jonin Kusano, are you going to support your comrades?" Minato asked deliberately.
"You bastard..." Shioya glared angrily at Minato.
The meaning of this "Konoha brat" is easy to understand.
Kaguya was likely ambushed.
However, if Kusano and Ryu dare to go and provide support, the wounded here can be "deleted".
As for directly attacking Minato to achieve a one-for-one exchange?
It's not like I haven't tried it before!
Minato is a sensory ninja with great speed; if he's focused on escaping, he won't be able to catch him at all.
"Kids! You underestimate Kaguya Issuke. He's a true warrior!" Kusano said coldly.
whoosh-
Snapped!
From the direction from which the explosion came, a "firework" rose up, and the sound of it exploding felt like it hit Kusano's face.
Kaguya Issuke is a true warrior. Even though Kusano emphasized to him that he must immediately send a signal when encountering an enemy, he wouldn't listen... unless he was really about to die!
