Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 3 Choice
Scarface, whose real name is Momoji Takeshi, Kirigakure Murakami Shinobi.

The surname Momochi has a special meaning in Kirigakure. It refers to a family that looks more like a samurai than a ninja.

Although the Taodi family is not prosperous and its members have no blood successors, their reputation is still no less than that of the numerous Wuyin blood successor families.In Wuyin Village, this is a very rare thing.

Ninjas pursue power, worship power, and fear power, which is still evident in Wuyin Village.If the ninja had no power, there would naturally be no such thing as fame.

There is only one reason why the Taodi family has been able to prosper for so long. They have a deep family background, which can guarantee that each generation of ninjas who come out of the family will be the backbone of the village.

There are rumors that this family has a long history. It is said that before Chakra appeared a long time ago, "Peachland" used to be the top warrior family on this continent.

Later, even though ninjas appeared and replaced the samurai as the leader of this world, some valuable things still did not pass away with time, and were carefully preserved by the members of the Momochi family.

Although the new era has arrived, the power of the old era may not be useless.Although chakra makes ninjas rise, it is not exclusive to ninjas.Its appearance made everything possible.

After combining with Chakra, the older generations of the Momochi family created a lot of valuable knowledge with the help of the original martial arts system.Unique training methods, complex move system, superb killing skills... These are the source of the Taodi family's strength.

Momochi Takeshi is deeply proud of his family and marvels at the wisdom of his ancestors.Chakra martial arts practiced to the extreme may not be weaker than those "shadows", he thought so, and put his thoughts into action.

Working on his body around the clock and practicing weapon moves made his body stronger and faster.But correspondingly, his eyes were completely attracted by the family inheritance, and his ninjutsu practice was naturally put on hold.

This also caused him to become a partial physical ninja, but he himself didn't care much about it.

In this way, time flies by, seeing that he is almost fifty years old, but his strength seems to be stuck at the level of Jonin, and he can't make any progress. In desperation, he has no choice but to lament his lack of talent, and then take it for granted. All expectations are placed on cultivating the next generation - my own son.

True strength is honed through blood and fire on the battlefield, Momoji Takeshi deeply understands this truth.But the battle with Yan Yin is not a child's play, he dare not rashly bring his son to the battlefield.

It just so happened at this time that Konoha was aggressively marching into the Land of Rain, and Mizukage was keenly aware of the fact that the defense of the Land of Fire was empty, so he made a strategic resource replenishment plan of "grab a wave and run away".

Realizing that this is an opportunity, Takeshi Momochi decisively asked for orders to come to the battlefield of Fire Nation, and arranged his son into his team.Nowadays, Konoha's ruthless characters basically stay in the Land of Rain, and the rest in the Land of Fire are just small fish and shrimps, nothing to be afraid of, just suitable for young people to experience.

Unexpectedly, during the third battle with Konoha Patrol Troops, Taodiren, his only son who just turned eighteen this year, died unexpectedly, and was suddenly killed by a detonating talisman that floated from nowhere The dead body was even cut off an arm by the angry Konoha ninja to vent his anger.

The accident happened so suddenly that his mind went blank for a moment.Followed by anger, hatred and madness.He swore that he would kill all Konoha ninjas present today.Even though the leading guy on the opposite side was not much weaker than him, even though his teammates died one after another, he did not hesitate.

Finally, there was only one enemy left in front of him, and that was the leader.The other party looked to be in his early twenties, and coincidentally, he was also an individual jutsu ninja.Takeshi Momochi knows how difficult it is to really practice taijutsu. The guy opposite has this kind of strength at this age, and his talent is terrifying.

But it doesn't matter, he will be stronger after all, he is confident to drag this young Konoha ninja to death in this barren battlefield.

Then, another accident happened.The son he thought was dead did not die, and although he seemed to be breathing only one breath, he was still alive after all.

The battlefield was chaotic, and he didn't have time to carefully examine his son's "corpse" at that time. This was indeed his carelessness.

The hope born of despair is always precious.Because of this, Momochi Takeshi suddenly became confused.He didn't want to spend any more time, and his eagerness to get away immediately affected his performance. As a result, he was caught by the opposite Konoha ninja and injured his arm.

If he was a jutsu-type ninja, he might have a headache because of it, but he is a taijutsu-type, so it was harmless, and an arm injury did not prevent him from running away with his son.

Yes, run away.

What family glory, revenge for the team members... all go to hell.As long as his son can live, he doesn't expect anything.

Concentrated, Tao Diwu sized up the new guy who appeared. He was also a young man, who looked younger than his son, and seemed to have been seriously injured.

But this young man didn't look simple, he was able to survive under the beheading knife. He was clear about the strength of Loquat Ten Zang, which aroused his vigilance.He didn't act rashly, because the other party was too close to Tao Di Ren.

After a lot of talk to no avail, the battle continued helplessly.At this moment, Momoji suddenly found himself in a dilemma.

……

Lei Luo's neck was close in front of his eyes, only a few centimeters away from the kunai in his hand, and he could take the life of this hateful boy in the blink of an eye.

But another kid behind him had already stabbed his own skin with a knife. If he didn't care, the muscles, spine and heart would follow.

This distance is like a moat.

hateful!

Do you want your son's life or your own life?Takeshi Momoji knew that he had to make a choice.

If you insist on killing Lei Luo, you can foresee the end of the same death, and the remaining enemy is likely to kill Tao Di Ren to vent his anger.

If you avoid it, keep your useful body, maybe you still have a chance.

After all, Kirito Ninja has arranged a lot of troops in this area, so wait for a while for nearby support to come, forgive the two Konoha ninjas who can't fly with their wings.

As for... what would happen to his son if he fell into the hands of the enemy, Momoji Takeshi consciously blocked it from his mind for the time being.

No more hesitation, the next moment, Momoji Takeshi retracted the stabbed Kunai.With the help of the momentum of his dive, he twisted his body violently, staggering the direct contact between his heart and the blade, and at the same time kicked Lei Luo fiercely. Regardless of the result, the withdrawn Kunai swept away behind him.

The chilling feeling disappeared, and turned into a gust of violent wind blowing from the side. Lei Luo didn't have time to think about it, and instinctively stretched out his arms to protect his body.

Bang!
Click!There was a crisp and pleasant sound of bone cracking, and the surging force was transmitted to the body. Lei Luo was taken away from the place by this force without any resistance, and rolled far away more than ten meters away.

Lei Luo lay on the ground in a state of embarrassment, and the mud mixed with blood stained his whole body in an instant.

A few seconds later, Lei Luo struggled and used his remaining hand to prop up his body.Suppressing the piercing pain in his arm, he stood up and staggered quickly towards Tao Di Ren.

Momoji Takeshi and Morbid Face fought again, and because Momoji Takeshi was hit hard again, and because of the loss of the first move, Morbid Face has the upper hand this time, and is gradually pulling Momoji Takeshi from Momoji Ren's side. push away.

Seeing that the situation was settled, Lei Luo glanced at the two of them coldly, and raised his voice.

"Stop it, Kirito!"

This cry successfully attracted the attention of the two of them. After a short weapon exchange, they retreated at the same time, keeping a relatively safe distance from each other.

Momoji Takeshi panted heavily, his wolf-like eyes cast fiercely on Lei Luo and his son Momojiren.

I saw Lei Luo bent over, squatting halfway beside the fallen tree, one arm was hanging weakly by his side, and the other hand was holding Kunai on the immobile Taojiren's neck.

"He is very important to you, right?" Lei Luo sneered out of breath, and at the same time, the Kunai in his hand exerted a little force, pressing a shallow bloodstain on Tao Jiren's neck. "If you don't want him to die, put down your weapon."

Momoji Takeshi saw this, but refused to give in easily. "Oh? Do you think you can threaten me like this? Kill him if you can."

Both parties understand that the Momochi Blade is Lei Luo's only bargaining chip to blackmail Momochi Takeshi, and Momochi Takeshi doesn't believe that the other party dares to kill him.

Seeing that the enemy was still putting on airs, Lei Luo's smile became more sinister, "You think I dare not do it?" After saying that, he used force again, cutting Tao Di Ren's skin, and a stream of blood ran across his neck.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be coming for real, Takeshi Momochi's heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated for a moment.

"Are you deaf?" Lei Luo's eyes flashed fiercely, he raised the knife and cut off one of Tao Di Ren's ears violently.

Suddenly being hit like this, Tao Diren snorted, and an uncontrollable look of fear flashed in his eyes.

Seeing his son being so abused suddenly, Tao Diwu forcefully suppressed the anger in his chest, gritted his teeth and said, "What exactly do you want?"

Ignoring Tao Jiren's almost cannibalistic eyes, Lei Luoshi calmly cut off Tao Jiren's other ear again.Finally, the young Mist Shinobu could no longer bear the intense pain, and let out a shrill scream.

"Ugh..."

The morbid face secretly observing the situation in the field, seeing Lei Luo's cruel actions, couldn't help showing a hint of hesitation.

As a ninja who lived in the war years, although he was not pedantic, Lei Luo's wanton torture of prisoners still made him unhappy, and he couldn't help but feel a little urge to speak out to dissuade him.

However, when recalling those Konoha companions who died tragically at the hands of Mist Ninja, he hesitated.

At the same time, the scene that happened just now came into his mind at the right time, which made him completely give up the purpose of interfering with Lei Luo.

Before, in the fleeting confrontation between the three, the sick face almost pierced Takeshi Momochi's heart.

Although the opponent changed his moves in time to stagger his vitals and avoided the end of death, he still suffered serious injuries.In the short battle that forced Momoji Takeshi back just now, he had already noticed that the reaction of this mighty Mist Ninja was much slower.

If they fight again, he has the confidence to beat the opponent.

And all of this is due to the opportunities created by Lei Luo risking his life.Looking at Lei Luo's performance in the short period of time since he appeared on the stage, whether it's his keen awareness of the enemy's weakness, or his decisive action without fear of death, all of these have left a deep impression on Sick Face.

This should not be an ignorant person, perhaps there is a reason for him to do so.

Unknowingly, even Sick Face didn't notice that he had already developed a little trust in Lei Luo, a companion who appeared out of the blue.

After thinking about it, he turned his head slightly with a sick face, no longer paying attention to the direction of Lei Luo and Momojiren, and concentrated all his energy on Momoji Takeshi.

He raised his blade and slowly approached Lei Luo, ready to guard against Tao Di Wu Yu's deadly blow at any time.

Momojiren's screams stimulated Momojitake's nerves again, but this time Momojitake had a trace of panic in his heart besides anger.

The big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken - this is the message Momoji Takeshi read from Lei Luo's eyes.

He didn't know if Lei Luo would dare to destroy the only chip in his hand, but he knew that he couldn't afford to bet.

Momoji Takeshi had no choice but to throw away the kunai in his hand, then slowly stretched his hand to his waist, carefully took off the ninja bag, gestured to Lei Luo before throwing it on the ground.

Things have come to this, Momoji Takeshi gradually calmed down.

He had already seen through Lei Luo's reality, just now when the opponent faced the surprise attack he launched from behind, he behaved extremely unbearably.He doesn't know how many opponents of this strength, Momoji Takeshi, have been killed.

But at this moment, he was more afraid of Lei Luo than at the beginning, and he didn't even dare to offend Lei Luo - if he still wanted to save his son's life.

With that sick face, it was doomed that he would not be able to make a comeback by himself in this situation.

So, drag on.

It can be delayed as long as it can, until the other Mist Ninja team finds out the movement here, there is still a turning point.

"I know you want to delay time." Seeing Takeshi Momochi's slow movements, Lei Luo knew that the other party still hadn't given up.

He smiled indifferently, wiped Kunai on Tao Diren's collar, and wiped away the blood. "But it's okay, I can continue to play with you, it's just this..."

Lei Luo patted Tao Jiren's cheek with the back of Kunai's knife, "It may be difficult for a while."

Takeshi Momochi didn't say a word, and seemed to be deaf to Lei Luo's words.

"Don't talk anymore? How boring is this?" Lei Luo frowned, and said indifferently: "Look at it, although there are no ears, but there are still noses, tongues, eyes and teeth."

Takeshi Momochi was shocked, looked at Lei Luo in disbelief, and unconsciously opened his mouth slightly.Momoji Takeshi didn't expect this young Konoha ninja to be so vicious, he didn't even know if the other party was serious.

"You won." Takeshi Momoji felt bitterness in his mouth at this moment, and deeply realized the feeling of "people are swords and I am fish". "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Don't worry, I won't make any unreasonable demands that make you commit suicide immediately, and I believe you won't agree." After speaking, Lei Luo pretended to be contemplative, and said lightly: "So... I have to think about the next step. What conditions should be put forward to satisfy both of us. You turn around now, and I will tell you later. "

Takeshi Momochi pondered for a moment, he naturally wouldn't believe Lei Luo's nonsense, but the situation forced him to follow suit.

Thinking that he still had hole cards that he hadn't played yet, Momoji decided that it would be better to stabilize the opponent for the time being.

Thinking of this, Takeshi Momoji nodded expressionlessly. "Okay, I hope you want to hurry up." After that, he didn't say much, and turned around slowly.

Momoji Takeshi is a powerful taijutsu ninja, and everyone present knows this.But no matter how strong his strength is and how fast his reaction speed is, handing over his back to the enemy is still tantamount to taking death.

One of the principles written in the ninja rules was resolutely ignored by Takeshi Momoji. Has this been abandoned, or is there still a hole card that has not been used?Lei Luo is more inclined to the latter.

So, are you going to make a sick face?

No... After spending so much effort and breaking an arm, nothing can happen to the precious combat force around him.

Slightly squinting, staring at the silhouette of Takeshi Momoji, Lei Luo kept trying to figure out what Takeshi Momoji was thinking.At the same time, he also had a vague judgment about the relationship between the prisoner in his hand and Takeshi Momoji.

Being able to do this to this extent... should be the closest family relationship, father and son?

"No, don't..." Tao Diren, who was pressed under Lei Luo, raised his head suddenly and looked at Lei Luo with the last bit of strength, with pleading in his eyes. "Please...kill...kill me."

Momoji Takeshi paused slightly when he heard his son's voice, then turned around completely without hesitation, and exposed his back to the two enemies.

Seeing this scene, the morbid face sighed slightly.

Among them, there is emotion, melancholy, awe-inspiring, and a trace of regret.

Reason told him that he should take this opportunity to decisively rush up and kill the enemy.The distance of ten meters is just a blink of an eye for a master of his level, not to mention that the enemy is still facing him.

At this moment, he was confident that he could easily kill this tricky Wunin, but he still didn't act rashly.

The morbid face turned slightly and looked at Lei Luo who was beside him.

Lei Luo did not respond to Tao Diren's plea, and silently pressed Tao Diren's head into the soil.Noticing the look from the morbid face, Lei Luo thought for a while, and stretched out his hand to gesture in front of his eyes.

The meaning of this gesture is simple - cover me.

In this case, what is there to cover?
Could it be that Lei Luo is going to do some tricks, but he doesn't want to be discovered by the opposite Wunin?

The sick face nodded, and moved forward, walking sideways to stand in front of Lei Luo.

Seeing that the sick face successfully blocked Momoji Takeshi's vaguely peeking gaze, Lei Luo stopped procrastinating, took off the ninja tool bag Momojiken was hanging from his waist, and began to fumble.

A few kunai and shurikens were thrown away by him. There is no shortage of such things now.

A scroll, Lei Luo thought about it, and put it away, anyway, it doesn't take up much weight.

Soon, Lei Luo's eyes lit up, and he turned over the ten detonating talismans. Together with the remaining two detonating talismans in his bag, he now has a total of twelve detonating talismans in his hand.

Without hesitation, Lei Luo stuck one of the detonating talismans on Tao Jiren's face, ten pieces on the opponent's upper body, and the last remaining one concealed in Tao Jiren's trouser pocket.

Pulling down Tao Diren's clothes to cover the position of the last detonating talisman, Lei Luo nodded secretly.

With such an arrangement, it must not be so easy for Tao Jiwu to save Tao Jiren, and if he fails, he will get himself involved.

Even if Takeshi Momoji had some hole cards to guarantee his immortality, he would be seriously injured by the explosion.Coupled with the fact that the opponent is seriously injured at this time, and there is still a burden dragging on, at least he should lose his combat effectiveness.

After rehearsing the process in his mind for a while, Lei Luo suddenly felt that the earth escape ninjutsu he had mastered might be able to create a miraculous effect at this time.
