"The Kingdom of Hot Springs and the Kingdom of Fire have always been allies, and the existence of the Hot Spring Ninja Village is not like the five major ninja villages. This ninja village appeared because of a sect in the Kingdom of Hot Springs."
After leaving Konoha Village and heading north, Sarutobi Shinnosuke revealed more information.
But this part was not learned in Ninja School.
"The sect. So, this mission is related to this sect? But why are the Cloud Ninjas involved?"
Akimichi Shigeiwa asked.
However, Hoshita Shuichi thought of Hidan from the Immortal Duo. This guy seemed to be from the Ninja Village of Hot Springs, a village that was said to have gradually forgotten about war because of peace and was gradually losing its fighting power.
At this time, Sarutobi Shinnosuke continued: "It is indeed related to this sect. This so-called evil cult has very evil ideas and advocates killing and sacrifice. Therefore, it has been suppressed by the Kingdom of Hot Springs. Therefore, the Hot Spring Ninja Village was born."
"But this sect always manages to revive without anyone noticing, and it is said that this sect has a secret technique that can make people immortal."
Nara Satoshi said in a deep voice: "It seems that the reason why the Evil God Cult has not been wiped out is related to this secret technique, and the Cloud Ninja, this village has always liked to collect various secret techniques, probably because of this."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded.
In fact, this incident did not break out suddenly, it has been going on for some time.
Konoha had lost a lot of people before, and the Sarutobi clan even lost a senior ninja.
At this moment, Hoshita Shuichi also thought of the AB combination that Kakashi and others had encountered before, and it seemed that this mission was also related to it.
The AB combination is not easy to deal with.
Especially the future Fourth Raikage, who is known for his speed, is even more difficult to deal with.
Think about it again, the current Third Raikage was actually exhausted to death by tens of thousands of Rock Ninjas...
"Saru, tell me the information about the Kumo Ninja, the AB team."
Chihiro's voice rang out.
Hoshita Shuichi also collected his thoughts.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke said: "AB combination, A represents the next generation Raikage candidate Ai, who has the strongest lightning release inheritance in the ninja world, lightning release chakra mode, and is the pinnacle of ninjutsu."
Yamanaka Shinichi said: "It seems that he is a very fast guy, and I heard that the Lightning Chakra Mode has a very strong defensive ability. Such a person must be very difficult to deal with."
"If I can't control it, there's no way I can use the Heart Turning Technique on him."
Nara Satoshi said: "Such a person must also be someone with extremely fast reactions. Without a good enough tactic, it is difficult to catch him, not to mention there is an auxiliary to cooperate with him!"
"To be chosen as the assistant to the next Raikage, he must be no ordinary person."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded: "Indeed, the other one is Killer Bee, nicknamed Killer Bee."
"Is it him?"
Yamanaka Shinichi was surprised: "I've heard of this guy, he has extremely advanced swordsmanship."
Under the mask, Sarutobi Shinnosuke said solemnly: "Indeed, he has extremely outstanding swordsmanship, which is said to be unbreakable. Even Senior White Fang has praised it."
"But he has another, more dangerous identity, that is... Jinchūriki!"
Jinchūriki!
Under the masks, Force, Deer, and Heart all changed color.
They are not ninjas of civilian origin. They know a lot of things and naturally know what Jinchūriki represents.
After a moment of silence, Flame couldn't help but ask: "Captain, are you sure we can deal with this combination?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke comforted him, "Don't worry, it's not just us this time."
"Senior White Fang is here too. We are a hidden Force. Our first mission is to prevent the secret technique of the Evil God Cult from being leaked."
This made Force, Deer and Heart all breathe a sigh of relief: "Senior White Fang is here too, that's great!"
It's not that they are too cowardly, but the deterrent power of the Jinchūriki is too great.
At this time, Chihiro said: "Flame, you have been silent all this time. Have you thought of something?"
Hoshita Shuichi didn't expect that she had been paying attention to him, and quickly said: "Yes, last time, Sakumo-senpai's son, my good friend Hatake Kakashi, was almost killed by the AB team."
"Both of his teammates died in the battle, and the leader, Sarutobi Akimoto, was seriously injured. I participated in the treatment at the time."
After hearing this, Nara Satoshi and the others suddenly understood.
"It's actually like this!"
"It seems that Senior White Fang is also taking part in this mission with the intention of seeking revenge?"
"I wonder if Senior White Fang can handle those two powerful guys."
The people in the Anbu are no different from ordinary people under the masks. This is Hoshita Shuichi's biggest feeling today.
They will be fearful and gossipy.
Unlike when he was at the root, his companions were all cold and emotionless machines.
At this time, Sarutobi Shinnosuke said again: "There is another very important piece of information."
"At present, Killer Bee is the most perfect Jinchūriki in the ninja world. It is said that he can control the power of the tailed beast in his body very well."
"So, we have to be careful."
Hoshita Shuichi noticed Sarutobi Shinnosuke's choice of words, the most perfect Jinchūriki, obviously compared to other Jinchūriki.
Think about it, the two human jinchuriki of the Iwagakure seem to be pretty good at using the power of the tailed beasts as well.
Among all the major ninja villages, the weakest ones are probably Konoha and Sand Village.
But when it comes to sealing techniques, Konoha is the strongest.
"This should also be related to the attitude towards the tailed beasts."
Hoshita Shuichi thought to himself: "The first perception of Konoha's sealing of the tailed beasts was not to use them as weapons, but because they were too strong. It may have originated from the first generation's concept."
After all, the Nine-Tails was used as a mount by Uchiha Madara, and then the First Generation thought that it was too powerful, so he snatched it away, packed it up, and sealed it in his wife's belly.
After thinking for a while, Hoshita Shuichi asked: "Captain, if we face the A and B combination, or one of them, how should we deal with it?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke had obviously thought about it: "Flame, Force, you are good at close combat, so you need to face the enemy head-on, but you should focus on delaying them instead of resisting head-on."
"Kokoro and I will use ninjutsu and illusion techniques to distract and interfere with them, and work together to create opportunities for Kokoro and Heart to control them."
"However, you must be especially careful with Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. He can control the power of the tailed beasts. The Heart Transformation Technique and the Shadow Secret Technique may not be able to really control him, so after controlling him, you must use medium and long-range ninjutsu to attack!"
Everyone nodded. Facing an enemy with high attack and speed, someone must hold them back, otherwise Yamanaka Shinichi and Nara Satoshi would have no chance to attack.
Chihiro is good at illusion and ninjutsu, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke is also a ninjutsu-type ninja.
It was obvious from the previous fight with Hoshita Shuichi that he was no match for him in close combat.
The performance of ninjutsu requires space and time. The most feared is the kind of fast-acting ninjutsu that doesn't even give you time to form hand seals.
After thinking for a while, Hoshita Shuichi said: "If I can control them, I have a way to break the defense of the Lightning Chakra Mode."
"As for the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, I can't make an assessment without having seen one myself."
This sentence made everyone turn their heads to look at Hoshita Shuichi, quite shocked.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke quickly asked, "Is it the secret of the Fire Release Sword Technique?"
Hoshita Shuichi shook his head: "No, it's an S-level wind escape ninjutsu!"
"As I said, I'm good at Fire Release and Wind Release."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Is this too much of an advantage?
But they had already seen Hoshita Shuichi's fire Release technique and did not doubt what he said.
Even Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who knew Hoshita Shuichi best, began to re-evaluate Hoshita Shuichi in his heart.
"In this case, I am very confident about our mission."
Nara Satoshi smiled, feeling a lot more relaxed.
The team set out at around 2:00 p.m. and arrived at the Ninja Village in the Land of Hot Springs at 8:00 p.m.
Even at night, Hoshita Shuichi could see that this village was very prosperous. It could not be compared with Konoha in scale, but it was probably just as prosperous.
The ninjas fromHot Springs Ninja Village welcomed Hoshita Shuichi and others into the village. After passing through the prosperous area, they came to a building backed by a cliff. It was obvious that this was the place where the secret techniques of the Evil God Cult were sealed.
Hoshita Shuichi saw Konoha's White Fang Hatake Sakumo standing guard in front of the building.
However, the person who came forward to take charge of the handover was Captain Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and Hoshita Shuichi did not meet him.
After the handover, Hatake Sakumo's team of four disappeared together.
"From now on, the team will be divided into two teams to take turns on duty. Team A will consist of me, Chihiro, and Flame."
"Class B Force, Deer, Kokoro."
"Class A will be on duty tonight, and Class B will first familiarize themselves with the terrain of the Hot Springs Ninja Village and bring back some food."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke made quick arrangements.
"clear!"
Yamanaka Shinichi and the other two took the order and immediately disappeared.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke observed the surrounding terrain and then made quick arrangements.
Hoshita Shuichi was guarding in front of the gate, while Chihiro was on the roof, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke climbed up the cliff. From his high vantage point, he could not only guard the cliff, but also had a very wide field of vision, allowing him to observe the houses on both sides and the dense forests behind the houses.
Two hours later, Yamanaka Shinichi returned with a hand-drawn map and a lot of delicious food from the Land of Hot Springs.
Hoshita Shuichi sat cross-legged on the ground, eating and drinking voraciously, while Yamanaka Shinichi and others entered the dense forests on both sides to familiarize themselves with the various traps set by Hatake Sakumo's team, and made changes according to their own habits.
Even people from theHot Springs Ninja Village would not come to this area easily. Even if they come, they will come from the front road, so there is no need to worry about accidentally hurting people from theHot Springs Ninja Village.
If someone is injured by mistake, it means he is not one of your own.
After finishing their busy work, Yamanaka Shinichi and the other two went into the wooden house on the right to rest. This was originally a resting place for the ninjas from theHot Springs Ninja Village who guarded this place.
As time passed, even the lights in the bustlingHot Springs Ninja Village gradually went out and fell into complete silence.
Suddenly, the dark sky was illuminated by flickering lights.
Hoshita Shuichi stood up, took a look, then squatted down and pointed at the ground with one finger. His perception quickly spread towards the direction of the light.
The closer you get, the more you can feel the chakra fluctuations.
"Sure enough, he's here!"
"This is Sakumo-senpai's chakra..."
"These two are very powerful, could it be the AB combination?"
Hoshita Shuichi sensed silently, and suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly: "It actually broke through the blockade..."
Then his expression became a little strange.
Because the three people who broke through the blockade did not encounter any obstruction and were able to move freely in the Hot Springs Ninja Village.
This almost gave him the feeling that all the ninjas in the Hot Springs Ninja Village were dead.
Or were they all concentrated on the periphery?
After finishing his perception, Hoshita Shuichi turned around and used hand gestures to convey what he had sensed to Chihiro on the roof.
Chihiro on the roof nodded, then jumped to the top of the cliff to report.
But after a moment, when Hoshita Shuichi sensed it again, he frowned slightly.
They actually retreated!
"It seems that the other side also has a sensing ninja, and they knew that there were defenses here, so they retreated decisively."
So Hoshita Shuichi passed information to Chihiro again.
Sure enough, the battle on the periphery ended quickly and the enemy seemed to retreat.But Hoshita Shuichi did not dare to be careless and still sensed every once in a while, because he really felt that the people of Hot Springs Ninja Village were too unreliable.
And Hatake Sakumo and others may not be able to take all aspects into consideration.
But the second half of the night was quiet.
After eating the breakfast brought back by Yamanaka Shinichi and his friends in the morning, Hoshita Shuichi fell asleep in the wooden house and did not wake up until three in the afternoon.
Time goes by day by day.
Except for the incident on the first night after arriving, the next three days were peaceful and it seemed that the Cloud Ninja had withdrawn.
The Hot Springs Ninja Village also seemed to be starting to slack off, and the cordons set up on the periphery were gradually withdrawn.
When Hoshita Shuichi was strolling in the village as an ordinary person, he saw that many of the Ninja Village were very leisurely.
It turned out that there was no obstacle after the enemy broke through the defense line on the first night. It was not that the Hot Springs Ninja refused to come out, but that they really spread their people on the periphery with the intention of preventing the enemy from entering the village.
Or maybe they don't want the battlefield to take place in the village.
After returning to the mission site, just as Hoshita Shuichi was about to think about ninjutsu, he heard Sarutobi Shinnosuke announce: "Everyone, the mission is over after today."
"It's the last night, so we must not slack off."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then Akimichi Shigeiwa asked, "Have the Cloud Ninjas completely retreated?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded: "That's the case at the moment."
"The leader of theHot Springs Ninja Village also felt that the Kumo Ninja had given up, so he chose to end this mission."
Nara Satoshi frowned and said, "Even if the Cloud Ninja retreats now, they may come sooner or later. Doesn't the Hot Springs Ninja Village have a better solution?"
"Like completely destroying the secret technique?"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke shook his head: "It is precisely because it cannot be destroyed that it can only be sealed and protected in this way."
"As for the Kumo Ninja... the leader of this village has decided to secretly transfer that secret technique tonight."
Yamanaka Shinichi speculated: "It seems that the Hot Springs Ninja Village has not been doing nothing during this period of time."
If the location is moved, then the seals and the like must be rearranged, which cannot be completed in a short time.
Hoshita Shuichi was a little curious.
However, what he was curious about was not Hidan's cursed secret technique, but his immortality.
This guy and Kakuzu are really a perfect match. As long as Hidan is not dead, Kakuzu can go all out and it doesn't matter if he kills his companions.
After thinking about it, Hoshita Shuichi suppressed his curiosity.
The technique of Shiki Fuinjin is nothing special, at most it is the most basic transaction with the god of death.
The evil god must believe in the doctrine, and he may become a madman or pervert like Hidan, who enjoys killing.
It is better to persevere until the last day, and then return to the village to have time to practice.
The S-level secret swordsmanship is almost complete. By then, I will be able to obtain the term "Master of Physical Skills" and my physical fitness will be improved again.
In the blink of an eye, it was late at night.
The leader of theHot Springs Ninja Village and the three jonin of the village each brought a team to the sealed area of the evil secret art and opened the iron gate.
Migration begins.
Hoshita Shuichi and others were distributed on the periphery.
The more this happened, the more cautious Sarutobi Shinnosuke became. Hoshita Shuichi and Yamanaka Shinichi took turns sensing every 5 minutes.
About half an hour later, Hoshita Shuichi saw a stone tablet covered with black cloth being carried out.
But at this moment, Yamanaka Shinichi, who was in charge of perception, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Captain, there are enemies breaking in!"
"It's very fast!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke's expression under the mask immediately changed, and he said to theHot Springs Ninja Village: "The enemy is approaching quickly, give up the move immediately!"
What?
The people of the Hot Springs Ninja Village were horrified and immediately moved the stone tablet back the way it came.
And Hoshita Shuichi and others are ready for battle.
"Here it comes!"
Yamazaka Shinichi drank lightly.
The next moment, under the moonlight, two figures appeared right in front of everyone.
One big and one small!
"It's indeed the future Fourth Raikage, and Killer Bee!"
Hoshita Shuichi's eyes focused and his hand on the hilt of the Sword clenched.
"Yo yo, it looks like we've arrived at the right time!"
"There are so many people here, are they here to welcome us?"
A weird rap tune came out of Bee's mouth.
Ai glanced at them and said, "Bee, it seems that they are planning to transfer the secret technique. Let's make a quick decision. Konoha White Fang is not easy to deal with!"
"Understood. Let them see the superb swordsmanship that I have just created, idiot, bastard!"
Killer Bee grinned as he spoke, and swords of varying lengths flew up into the air. He caught them with his teeth, held them with his hands, and clamped them with his elbows.
This posture is extremely weird!
"Take them down!"
At this time, the leader of the Hot Springs Ninja Village gave an order, and three senior ninjas immediately rushed forward with their men.
"Yohoo!"
Killer Bee let out a strange cry, leaped into the air, and rolled at high speed in the air. The sharp sword cut through the air at high speed, making a sharp whistling sound.
Boom!
The tumbling Killer Bee fell from the air at an extremely fast speed, smashing into the crowd of Hot Springs Ninjas, stepping one of them into the ground with one foot, and then stretched his body, the sword flew, blood splashed, and two more fell.
The shurikens thrown by Sarutobi Shinnosuke and others took the opportunity to be blocked easily and had almost no effect.
Killer Bee's attacks were swift, his swordsmanship was strange and tricky, continuous, and like a violent storm.
In the blink of an eye, only two jonin were left in the two teams of Hot Springs Ninja Village. Even they had sword wounds on their bodies and were in danger.
"It's too fast, there's no way to lock on to it!"
Yamanaka Shinichi was helpless.
Chihiro said: "General illusions have no effect on this guy at all."
Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Nara Satoshi and Akimichi Shigeiwa all focused their eyes on Ai.
"I'll do it!"
Hoshita Shuichi opened his mouth, then took off his mask, bit the Senbon that Ten'un gave him, and rushed out suddenly.
Then a blue light appeared in the darkness, and Hoshita Shuichi Forcefully broke into the battle, but was cut down by the blue-dyed Ame-no-Murasaki sword.
"You want to sneak attack me, you bastard, you idiot!"
Killer Bee cursed and rushed forward with a long sword flashing with lightning.
Ding!
Swords collided, lightning and fire collided, and sparks flew everywhere.
Killer Bee was stunned for a moment, because his sword was at a disadvantage and was cut by the opponent.
"This guy's Fire Release is stronger than my Lightning Release..."
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Killer Bee turned his main target of attack to Hoshita Shuichi, like a storm, cunning and unpredictable.
Seven or eight swords, the attack speed is fast, even Hoshita Shuichi can't predict this attack.
Because sometimes Killer Bee's sword is flying in the air.
The name of the killer bee is indeed well-deserved, because you don't know when he will give you a shot!
However, Killer Bee was even more shocked at this moment.
The guy in front of him was obviously not as fast as him in attacking, yet he was able to block it every time.
Moreover, this guy's explosive power is very strong!
"You're better than that white-haired guy last time, bastard, idiot!"
Killer Bee recognized Hoshita Shuichi.
But after Hoshita Shuichi took Killer Bee's sword, chakra exploded under his feet, and he suddenly flew into the air. The blue light of the Ame-no-Murasaki sword in his hand suddenly increased, and it turned into a giant sword and chopped down.
Azure Flame Waterfall Sword!
Hoshita Shuichi admitted that it was impossible to defeat Killer Bee in terms of technology.
Let's go for the fierce one!
Boom!
A gully was cut open with a Sword, and Killer Bee narrowly avoided it.
But as soon as his body landed on the ground, Hoshita Shuichi in the air shot towards him like an arrow, but his body soared up again with the sound of air explosion, making Killer Bee's prepared response ineffective, and he had to dodge another attack of Hoshita Shuichi with the Azure Flame Waterfall Sword in a panic.
This time, the offensive and defensive situation changed.
Hoshita Shuichi relied on his powerful explosive power, ability to change directions, and the Azure Flame Waterfall Sword to make it difficult for Killer Bee to use his strange swordsmanship.
Ai, who had been watching the fight, couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw this scene: "This little brat actually suppressed Bi!"
Sizzle!
There was a flash of electricity about him.
In the field, Hoshita Shuichi suddenly spat out the Senbon that he was biting.
Killer Bee had been on guard for a long time, and his sword, which was shining with lightning, chopped down accurately.
But the next moment, his sword broke into two.
Poof!
Senbon passed by his face, leaving a trail of blood.
"My Wind Release is stronger than my Lightning Release..."
Killer Bee was surprised, and then his pupils under his sunglasses dilated rapidly.
After spitting out the Senbon, Hoshita Shuichi inhaled and exhaled again, and several sharp air currents swept out.
Wind Release - Vacuum Wave!
"This guy didn't even cast a seal!"
Killer Bee felt his scalp tingling at this moment.
Because the distance was so close and it happened so suddenly, even with his speed he couldn't completely avoid it.
At this time, Ai was also shocked: "Bee!"
With a loud shout, Ai rushed out like a flash of lightning.
Almost at the same time, Akimichi Shigeiwa also rushed out, blocking Ai and the battlefield, and slashed down with the big Sword in his hand.
The next moment, with a loud clang, Akimichi Shigeiwa's burly body flew out, and the big Sword in his hand was broken into two pieces.
However, at this moment, Sarutobi Shinnosuke seized the opportunity.
earth release - Yellow Spring Swamp!
