Escape From Konoha Chapter 238

Chapter 238 Objectives

The moment after the explosion, the people in the mansion were awakened.

The raging fire spread to the surroundings. Such a scene was too terrifying, and even the first thing the guards thought of was to run away.

However, facing the duties he had performed, he ran towards the well immediately, started to store water with a wooden barrel, and ran towards the fire site to put out the fire.

However, the raging fire was unstoppable, and it was scurrying around with the wind, devouring everything unscrupulously.

A fire at this time is obviously man-made.

It is impossible for a naturally formed fire to become so fierce in a short period of time.

Moreover, in such an important place as the daimyo's mansion, even the servants who work late at night cannot make such a careless mistake.

Besides, Ugly Cow and Chi Ying knew exactly what caused the initial explosion.

The sound of detonating symbols exploding.

The root cause of the fire was that someone used a detonating talisman to detonate the flammable area in the daimyo's mansion, which caused the fire to spread greatly in an instant and could not be stopped.

The premeditated attack is undoubtedly the most troublesome thing, and it is still at a critical moment in the expansion plan of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

This matter must be stopped.

"Leave this to me, and you go to protect the Daimyo of the Bear Country."

No matter what Chi Ying's mission is at the moment, for the Oni Country, the safety of Daimyo's life is undoubtedly the top priority.

The kingdom of ghosts needs the official name of the kingdom of bears to complete a series of expansion plans in the kingdom of bears.

The Daimyo of Bear Country is one of the key candidates.

If something unexpected happened to him, the plan of the Kingdom of Ghosts in the Kingdom of Bears would have to be shelved for a few more years.

Moreover, the sons of the daimyo of the bear country are all mediocre, and the kingdom of ghosts does not need such a mediocre daimyo.

They need an ambitious name.

Chi Ying nodded earnestly, and was about to turn around to leave when her body froze suddenly, and she looked at a certain place with gloomy eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Chou Niu asked quickly when he saw Chi Ying's expression changed.

"My shadow clone disappeared."

After hearing this, the ugly cow also changed slightly.

The technique of shadow clone is different from the general clone technique, and it is also slightly different from the clone of the basic escape technique.

Shadow clone is a kind of physical clone, which has a consciousness independent of the body, and a certain resistance to blows determined by the operator.

Whether the shadow clone is actively released or passively released, the memories experienced by the shadow clone will be fed back to the main body.

Therefore, in many cases, the shadow clone is a key ninjutsu used to collect intelligence.

This ninjutsu was developed by Konoha II Naruto Senju Tomona, and it was originally for espionage.

Only Chunin and Jonin can master this high-level ninjutsu.

Red Shadow is a hidden child placed by the army of the Kingdom of Ghosts in the Kingdom of Bear. Naturally, he also learned this kind of ninjutsu that is convenient for espionage work.

When in contact with Ugly Bull, he created a shadow clone to protect the safety of Princess Zhuji.

The disappearance of his shadow clone was not canceled actively, but was canceled by the enemy's attack encounter.

This also means that there is a problem with Princess Zhuji.

This is why Chi Ying's face is gloomy.

Chou Niu also understood this, quickly calmed down, and decisively changed the decision just now, and said to Chi Ying: "I will take care of the bear country daimyo, you go and rescue Princess Zhu Ji. Be careful, the shadow clone who can defeat you will not be a simple ninja."

Chi Ying nodded and disappeared from the spot.

According to the memory sent back when the shadow clone was released from the attack, Chi Ying can judge which direction the enemy fled after abducting Princess Zhuji.

Looking at the direction Chi Ying left, the ugly cow's simple and honest face also seemed a little helpless.

He sighed, and muttered in a low voice: "That princess really suffered a lot. Is this the trouble of being a peerless beauty?"

But thinking about it is also true, the woman who offered a reward of 65 million taels in the underground black market is a rare high reward target, and she is one of the few designated living people.

As long as there is a bounty hunter who completes this single business, he can eat and drink without worry for a lifetime. At least he can be chic for a long time without having to work hard for a living.

"It's no wonder that the Daimyo of Xiong Zhiguo asked Chiying to protect her. If such an important 'treasure' is not sold for a good price, I will be sorry for her worth."

The life of the nobles does not seem to be as beautiful as imagined.

There are both the glamorous ones and the ugly and greedy ones.

In other words, the attack on the daimyo's mansion this time was also a tragedy caused by that princess Zhuhime.

This is also the reason why Ugly Cow said that the princess was "a lot of disasters".

If the princess cannot be rescued, Chi Ying will lose the trust of the Daimyo of the Bear Country. For Chi Ying, the princess is related to his important task, which is more important than his own life.

Ugly Bull thinks that Chiying's ability is enough to deal with everything over there, so he moves towards the position of Daimyo of the Bear Country with peace of mind.

Princess Zhuhime must not be lost, but the name of the Bear Kingdom is equally important.

"That idiot princess!"

In the process of running and chasing, Chi Ying cursed in a low voice more than once.

Sure enough, women will only affect his efficiency in completing tasks, and will only cause him such meaningless troubles.

Just relying on the cuteness of his face, the bounty hunters in the underground black market are so persistent, this kind of will will not move Chi Ying, but just feel bored.

No matter when, this kind of bounty hunter who is desperate for money is an extremely difficult existence.

Although the army of the Ghost Kingdom also deployed a secret team in the underground black market, the market in the underground black market is so huge that it has connections with daimyos and nobles from all over the world.

The relationship network is so intricate that it is impossible to remove it completely.

No matter how much you yell and curse, it can't change the fact that the idiot princess was kidnapped again.

If he can't bring that woman back, then he will have a lot of fun on his side.

The failure of one's own mission is trivial, if it affects the complete layout of that adult, ten thousand deaths will not be enough to apologize.

"In that direction?"

Although the footprints on the road are very hidden, Chi Ying still found them carefully.

Follow the trail of the enemy and move on.

This is already outside the capital of the Bear Kingdom, and the huge city in the background is already bustling because of the sudden fire.

The bear country daimyo must have lost his temper there.

Not only was the mansion attacked, but his most cherished daughter was taken away again.

Therefore, it is the work that Chi Ying must complete to rescue Princess Zhu Ji as soon as possible.

The wind is howling.

In the night, a large amount of dust was rolled up, and it slammed on Chi Ying's body and face.

This is a wilderness with severe desertification.

The Bear Country is a small resource-scarce country with very little vegetation.

There will be some deserts near the land of the wind.

Around the Kingdom of Bears, there is a circular canyon that extends to the ground, enclosing the territory of the Kingdom of Bears.

That is the natural barrier used to protect the bear country - Hell Valley.

It is said that in ancient times, wars often broke out in the Bear Kingdom, and people did not cremate the corpses, but discarded them randomly in the lower part of the valley.

A large number of corpses at the bottom of the valley, mixed with the natural chakra, formed a poisonous gas that is harmful to the human body.

So, the circular canyon surrounding the country of bears is also called Hell Valley.

Crimson Shadow is now chasing in the direction of Hell Valley to the south.

Through the Hell Valley in the south, it is the desert boundary of the Kingdom of Wind.

The gravel that has been severely worn by the storm has further protruded from the ground.

The resistance of the storm is also increasing.

Chi Ying, who had been chasing for three hours continuously, felt a little irritable in his heart, although he didn't feel tired physically.

The farther you go, the enemy's footprints become weaker and fainter, covered by the wind and sand.

For a long time, Chi Ying had to stay still and carefully survey the enemy's footprints to determine the position.

There are also many induced traps.

The bounty hunter who kidnapped Princess Zhu Ji was not alone, but a gang.

The bounty hunters who run rampant in the underground black market are not only solitary, there are also many bounty hunter organizations composed of multiple people.

When encountering such a group of bounty hunters, it is naturally impossible to chase them so easily.

"Disappeared?"

Continue to chase into the half-disappearance, getting closer and closer to the border of the Kingdom of Wind.

The footprints up here have completely disappeared.

Chi Ying squatted down, grinding the silver-like fine sand illuminated by the moonlight in her hands, and frowned slightly.

The sand behind him began to bulge slightly.

Two black-clothed ninjas who covered most of their faces with masks jumped out suddenly, holding standard sharp ninja swords in their hands, and mercilessly swung them from behind Akage.

The blade cut through the air, piercing through Chi Ying's body together with people.

The eyes of the two masked ninjas widened, as if they had seen something extremely incredible.

The blade must have hit... No, no, even if it hits, it is actually no different from a miss.

Their attacks penetrated through Chiying's body, as if they had hit a phantom projected in the air.

Such a peculiar ninjutsu shocked the minds of the two attackers.

Pfft!

Both bodies were crisp, and the two attackers yelled in pain.

In the backs of the two of them, a Kunai was inserted into each.

The two of them fell on the sandy ground, lying there gasping for breath in pain, their dying posture did not win Chi Ying's sympathy.

"Where did you take that woman?"

Chi Ying squatted down in front of an attacker, holding Kunai in his hand and asked.

The assailant faltered and did not speak.

"Then go to hell."

Without hesitation, Chi Ying swiped the Kunai from the attacker's throat.

Blood splashed on the sand, losing the breath of life.

The other attacker shuddered.

Chi Ying's indifferent gesture of harvesting human lives is indeed intimidating, and he doesn't even give him a chance to hesitate.

"I am very aware of the vital points of the human body. The extent of the injury is the most painful but not fatal. The kunai stuck in your back will not kill you...Of course, you can choose not to answer."

Chi Ying's face was shrouded in shadow, and his eyes were cold and heartless.

He is not a professional interrogator, but he also knows that in the face of pain and death, most people are unable to fight to the end.

Especially this kind of bounty hunter who is greedy for money and pleasure.

There are many strong-willed people, but there are more bounty hunters. When they face death and pain, they are no different from ordinary people.

Now, just amplify the fear in the other party's heart.

Near the sand dunes in Hell's Valley to the south.

Chi Ying stood at the entrance of the cave, and took a deep look inside, only to see endless darkness.

The crisis hidden inside and the number of enemies are unknown.

Even Chi Ying would not take his own life as a joke.

He stretched out his hand and touched the stone wall of the sand dune, and immediately, his whole body merged into the stone wall, and he walked unimpeded among the stone wall.

It is more convenient than Tudun, this is one of his blood succession limit ability.

And sneaking into the sand dunes in this way is definitely an unexpected method for the enemy.

In the sand dunes, there is only the sound of wind and sand blowing, and the enemy is not seen, but there are many types of traps.

Fortunately, he didn't break in from the front, otherwise even he would not be able to break into the hinterland unscathed.

It is really careful to use so many traps to prevent people from saving that stupid princess.

But I didn't see any trace of the enemy, did I just go out to meet with my employer?

No, better be careful. Chi Ying thought to himself.

Instead of rushing to rescue Princess Zhuji, she continued to move among the stone walls of the hill, and after making sure that there were no traces of the enemy, Chi Ying was convinced of her judgment.

The bounty hunters who kidnapped Princess Zhuji went to meet their employers.

Let's take him back as soon as possible.

Compared with killing the bounty hunters, Chi Ying felt that bringing Princess Zhuji back as soon as possible was the most important thing right now.

These bounty hunters, let them go temporarily.

Find the room where Princess Zhuji is, and she sits there limply leaning against a cold wall.

The fine attire is fairly neat, but there is some dust on his face and a tired look. He must have suffered a lot when he was on the road.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Zhu Ji's body trembled slightly, she raised her head, and saw a familiar figure approaching her.

"Uh...uh..."

Because the cloth was stuffed in his mouth, he could only make such a whimpering sound, and his eyes looked very flustered and excited.

Although Chi Ying really wanted to scold this cumbersome princess face to face, but when she thought about it carefully, she seemed to have a part of her own reasons for her being taken away by bounty hunters.

Moreover, even if I don't like this woman very much, she is also the important daughter of Xiong Zhiguo daimyo, so calm down and don't get angry.

A heart like still water is the most important state of mind for a ninja.

At any time, be calm.

Chi Ying checked carefully, and there is no trap around Princess Zhuji.

Are those bounty hunters overconfident, or too careless? Chi Ying doesn't want to explore this kind of thing.

Walking up to Princess Zhu Ji and squatting down, Chi Ying stretched out his hand towards Princess Zhu Ji, and took the Busey from her mouth.

"Master Ninja, get out of here!"

"Um?"

Hearing Princess Zhuji's shout, Chi Ying was taken aback for a moment, then realized something, stretched out his hand and tore off the outer layer of Chinese clothing in front of Princess Zhuji.

A large number of detonating symbols were attached to Princess Zhuhime's inner garment, and they burned at an extremely fast speed.

Chi Ying's pupils suddenly constricted.

Before she had time to think too much, Chi Ying subconsciously reached out and tore off the detonating symbol attached to Princess Zhuji's inner garment.

—Beyond the hill, a figure stood on the sand. His whole body was gathered in a tight black ninja suit, with a mask on his face. Only a pair of cold eyes were exposed from the whole body.

The corners of the mouth under the mask seemed to be wriggling.

Boom!

Accompanied by a violent explosion, the sand dunes in front of him were destroyed for a moment.

A large number of weathered earth and rocks scattered in all directions, and terrifying explosive flames erupted in all directions.

The night was dyed into day in an instant, and the fiery red light made the surrounding air temperature rise. In the eyes of the black-clothed ninja, the fire light was like the karmic fire of the red lotus dancing wantonly.

After a slight delay, the strong wind generated by the explosion spread around more fiercely, and the fireworks generated by the explosion also got a terrifying sublimation again, further expanding and swallowing the sand.

The detonating talisman originally placed on Princess Zhuji was just a decoy mechanism. At the moment of explosion, it will also explode along with other mechanisms in the dune.

No matter how powerful a ninja is, they will inevitably feel powerless when faced with such a scene.

The human body is made of flesh and blood, so it cannot compete with the detonating talisman, which is a super-destructive detonating talisman.

The black-clothed ninja confirmed in this way, and then he seemed to sense something at the next moment, and his brows frowned slightly.

The back is like a peacock spreading its tail, extending several pairs of beautiful chakra wings.

These wings fluttered slightly in the air, and the black-clothed ninja flew into the sky with ease, staring at the center of the sea of fire with sharp and cold eyes.

"Interesting. In this case, not only can the hostage be protected, but the hostage is not dead."

If he confronted head-on, he couldn't be his opponent. This point, the black ninja is very sure.

In the center of the sea of flames, most of Chi Ying's body was burned, his clothes were ragged like a beggar on the roadside, blood flowed from his head and flowed into his eyes, causing the scene in front of him to turn into a strange red.

Behind him is the body of Princess Zhu Ji.

Only a small part of the clothes were burned, and the long black hair, which was originally neat, was messy and covered with dust. Overall, it's safe and sound.

The ninja in black was naturally surprised when he saw this scene.

"In the face of the great horror of life and death, it is really tricky to be a ninja who is loyal to the Lord. Wouldn't it be easier to die directly in the previous explosion?"

His words were just whispers, so the people below naturally couldn't hear them.

"Ninjsama... your body..."

Princess Zhuji gasped in horror, almost thinking that she was dead.

Escaped after the catastrophe, and saw the young man standing in front of him desperately, blocking all the attacks with his flesh and blood, there was also a deep worry on his beautiful face, and a hint of distress flashed in his eyes.

Why does Ninjsama do this to such an extent?

As a vase, I know very well what the value of my existence is.

A person like myself is not worth anyone's life to save.

So, in that situation, even if Chi Ying left her, she would not resent her. No, there is no reason to resent.

As a commodity, if you don't have this self-awareness, it will be difficult to live under the protection of your daimyo.

I am used to submissiveness, and resistance is futile.

Because of this, Chiying's determination to protect herself even to the death made Zhuhime, who is a princess, very puzzled.

No matter how devoted you are to your duty, life should not be given up so easily.

Sometimes, giving up is the best choice.

Ninja...what kind of existence? Princess Zhu Ji was once again confused by the position of ninja.

Chi Ying panted, trying to keep his voice down, so as not to let the enemy see that he was at the end of his battle.

It is not absolute to say that it is careless.

Because he never expected that the enemy would place detonating symbols on such an important "cargo" as Zhuji.

This doesn't fit the definition of a bounty hunter at all.

At this moment, Chi Ying looked up at the black-clothed ninja in the sky, clenching his teeth in pain.

I understand.

The opponent's goal was not Princess Zhuji from the beginning, but him, the guard!

was counted.

Princess Zhuhime was just a bait to lure him into the trap.

If the target is Princess Zhuhime, placing the detonator is too much.

If the goal is him, then the result will be different.

The other party is not a bounty hunter at all.

From the very beginning, his guess with Ugly Cow was wrong.

"It's really tenacious, but your future will come to an end here."

The black-clothed ninja had a pity on his talent.

It is a pity that such a respectable and talented ninja died here.

However, the ninja world is so cruel.

Killing each other is also the norm.

It doesn't matter whether the means are mean or not, the important thing is to win.

"Not always."

Although he knew that he was the one who was at an extreme disadvantage, Chi Ying had no intention of admitting defeat.

"Master Ninja..."

Princess Zhuji behind her has not finished speaking, Chi Ying has turned around quickly, wrapping her left arm around Zhuji's soft body.

"ah!"

Chi Ying's actions naturally made Zhu Ji subconsciously cry out, her face flushed.

Although I have had close contact with Chi Ying before, it is the first time that I have such an ambiguous posture in my arms.

For the innocent princess, it is no less exciting than experiencing it for the first time, and the nerves of the whole body are sensitive.

"Don't worry, you are my important person, and I will protect you even if I die."

Princess Zhuji's firm words rang in Princess Zhuji's ears, and her body trembled slightly.

The wind rolled the fire, and red sparks flew in the air.

Looking at Chiying's young but resolute and calm face, Princess Zhuji felt that she had never been so fascinated by a man.

Unable to restrain herself, Princess Zhuji stretched out her hands and hugged Chi Ying's neck tightly.

"I believe in you, Ninjsama."

What strange things is this princess with a brain problem thinking about?

Inexplicable.

However, something was pressing against his chest, and his breathing was a little uncomfortable.

Women always grow useless fat in boring places.

However, it is not a lie to say that he is desperately protecting this troubled princess.

Because if I stop here, I can't even protect a good-for-nothing princess, how can I become the shadow behind that lord and sweep away all obstacles in front of him?

Everything I did was for that adult.
