Escape From Konoha

   Chapter 238 Target

Immediately after the    explosion, the people in the mansion were awakened.

  The raging fire spread to all around, this scene is too terrifying, even the first thing that the guards think of is to escape.

   But in the face of his duties, he still ran towards the well for the first time, began to store water with a wooden barrel, and ran towards the fire site to put out the fire.

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

   When a fire occurs at this time, it is obviously man-made.

   Naturally formed fires cannot become so fierce in a short period of time.

   And in such an important place as the Daimyo mansion, even the servants who work late at night cannot make such a careless mistake.

   Besides, Ugly Niu and Chiying knew very well what caused the initial explosion.

   The sound of the detonator exploding.

   The root cause of the fire was that someone used a detonating talisman to detonate the flammable area in the Daimyo mansion, and the fire spread 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 country of ghosts.

   This must be stopped.

   "Leave this to me, and you can protect the Daimyo of the Land of Bears."

   No matter what Chiying's mission is at the moment, for the country of ghosts, the safety of Daimyo's life in the country of bears is undoubtedly the top priority.

  The Kingdom of Oni needs the official name of the Kingdom of Bears to complete a series of expansion plans in the Kingdom of Bears.

  The Daimyo of the Kingdom of Bears is one of the key candidates.

   If he had an accident, the plan of the kingdom of ghosts in the kingdom of bears would have to be put on hold for a few years.

   Moreover, the sons of Daimyo in the Kingdom of Bears are all mediocre people, and the kingdom of ghosts does not need such mediocrity.

   They need an ambitious name.

   Chi Ying nodded earnestly, and was about to turn around to leave when suddenly his body froze and his eyes gloomily looked at a certain place.

"What's wrong?"

   Ugly Ox asked quickly when he saw that Chi Ying's face was different.

   "My shadow clone disappeared."

   Ugly Niu's expression changed slightly after hearing this.

The    Shadow Clone Technique is different from the general Clone Technique, and it is also slightly different from the Clone Technique of the basic type.

  Shadow avatar is a physical avatar, with consciousness independent of the main body, and a certain anti-strike ability determined by the operator.

   Whether it is to actively release the shadow clone or passively release the shadow clone, the memory experienced by the shadow clone will be fed back to the main body.

   Therefore, in many cases, shadow clones are the key ninjutsu used to gather intelligence.

   This ninjutsu was developed by the second generation of Konoha Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and it was originally for espionage.

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

  Red Shadow is a secret child placed by the army of the country of ghosts in the country of bears, and naturally he also learned this kind of ninjutsu which is convenient for espionage work.

When    was in contact with the ugly cow, he separated into a shadow avatar to protect the safety of Princess Zhuji.

   His shadow avatar disappeared, not actively dispelled, but dispelled by enemy attack.

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

   This is the reason why Chi Ying's face is gloomy.

Ugly Niu also understood this, he quickly calmed down, and changed his decision decisively. He said to Chi Ying, "I will take care of the big name in the country of the bear. You go and rescue Princess Zhu Ji. Be careful, you can take care of it. Defeating your shadow clone will not be a simple ninja."

   Chi Ying nodded and disappeared from the spot.

  According to the memory that came back when the shadow clone was disarmed by the attack, Chiying could tell which direction the enemy fled to after the enemy kidnapped Princess Zhu Ji.

   Looking at the direction where Chi Ying was leaving, Ugly Niu's simple and honest face also seemed a little helpless.

   He sighed and muttered in a low voice: "That princess is really in such trouble, is this the trouble of being a peerless beauty?"

   But it's right to think about it. The woman who offered a reward of 65 million taels in the underground black market was a rare target of a high reward, and it was one of the few living people who were designated.

   As long as any bounty hunter completes this single business, he can eat and drink for a lifetime without worrying about it, at least he can be unrestrained for a long time without having to work hard for life.

   "It's no wonder that the big name in the country of the bear wants Chi Ying to protect her. If you don't sell such an important 'treasure' for a good price, it's not worth her worth."

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

   There are the bright and beautiful ones and the ugly and greedy ones.

   In other words, this time someone planned an attack on the Daimyo mansion, which was also a tragedy caused by that Princess Zhuji.

   This is also the reason why Ugly Niu said that the princess was 'a lot of trouble and a lot of trouble'.

  If the princess cannot be rescued, Chiying will lose the trust of the great name of the kingdom of bears. For Chiying, the princess is an important task for herself, something more important than her own life.

  Ugly Niu thinks that the ability of the red shadow is enough to deal with everything over there, so Anxin moves towards the position of the daimyo of the kingdom of bears.

   That Princess Zhu Ji is not to be missed, but the name of the country of the bear is equally important.

  ◎

   "That idiot princess!"

   In the process of running and chasing, Chi Ying scolded 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.

   It's just that the bounty hunters in the underground black market are so persevering because of their cute faces. This kind of will will not make Chi Ying moved, but just feel tired.

   This kind of bounty hunter who is desperate for money is extremely difficult to deal with at any time.

  Although the military of the country of ghosts also arranged a secret team in the underground black market, the market of the underground black market is so huge that it has connections with the daimyo and nobles of various countries.

The network of    relationships is intricate and impossible to remove.

   No matter how much you whisper, it can't change the fact that that stupid princess was kidnapped again.

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

   The failure of his mission is a minor matter. If it affects the complete layout of the adult, it is really not enough to apologize.

   "In that direction?"

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

   Follow the trail of the enemy and move on.

   This is already outside the capital of the country of bears, and the huge city behind it is already lively because of the sudden fire.

   The daimyo of the bear country must have lost his temper there.

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

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

  The wind is howling.

   A large amount of sand and dust rolled up in the night, and slammed **** Chi Ying's body and face.

  This is a wilderness with severely desertified land.

  The Land of Bears is a small resource-scarce country with very little vegetation.

  The area near the Land of Winds will also have some deserts.

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

   That is the natural barrier used to protect the kingdom of bears - Hell Valley.

   It is said that in ancient times, wars often broke out in the kingdom of bears, and people did not cremate their bodies, but randomly dumped them in the lower valleys.

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

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

   The direction that the red shadow is chasing now is approaching in the direction of Hell Valley to the south.

   Passing through Hell Valley to the south is the desert border of the Land of Winds.

  The gravel, which was badly worn by the storm, has further protruded from the ground.

  The resistance of the storm is also increasing.

   After chasing Chi Ying for three hours in a row, although his body did not feel tired, his heart was already a little impatient.

  The further we go, the less the enemy's footprints are, and they are covered by the wind and sand.

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

   There are also many inducement traps.

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

   The bounty hunters running rampant in the underground black market are not only soloists, but also many bounty hunter organizations formed by multiple people.

   Encountering a bounty hunter who commits crimes by such a group, it is naturally impossible to pursue it so easily.

"Disappeared?"

   continued to chase halfway and disappeared, getting closer and closer to the border of the Land of Wind.

   The footsteps to this place have completely disappeared.

   Chi Ying squatted down, crushed the fine sand that was shone like silver by the moonlight in his hands, and frowned slightly.

   The sand behind him began to bulge slightly.

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

The    blade cut through the air, penetrating through Chi Ying's body together with the person.

  “!?”

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

   The blade is clearly hit... No, no, even if it hits, it's actually no different from missing.

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

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

  Puff!

  Puff!

   The two attackers screamed in pain.

  A kunai was inserted into the back of both of them.

   The two fell on the sand, lying there panting in pain, their dying posture did not win Chi Ying's sympathy.

   "Where did you take that woman?"

   Chikage crouched down in front of an attacker, and asked with Kunai in his hand.

  The attacker hesitated and did not speak.

   "Then go to hell."

   Chikage didn't hesitate, swiping the kuna in his hand down the attacker's throat.

   Blood splattered on the sand and lost his breath of life.

   Another attacker shuddered.

   Chi Ying's indifferent attitude of reaping people's lives is indeed frightening, and he doesn't even give the opportunity to hesitate.

   "I am very aware of the vital parts of the human body. To what extent is the most painful and not fatal. The kunai inserted in your back will not kill you... Of course, you can choose not to answer."

   Chi Ying's face was shrouded in shadows, and his eyes were cold and ruthless.

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

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

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

   Now, you just need to magnify the fear in the other person's heart.

  ◎

   Near the sand dunes of Jigokudani to the south.

   Chi Ying stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside, only to see endless darkness.

   The hidden dangers and the number of enemies are unknown.

   Even Chiying will not joke about his own life.

   stretched out his hand and touched the stone wall of the dune. Immediately, his whole body was integrated into the stone wall, and he walked unobstructed in the stone wall.

   is more convenient than Tu Dun, and this is one of his blood-based limit abilities.

   And infiltrating the dunes in this way is definitely an unexpected method for the enemy.

   There is only the sound of wind blowing in the sand dunes, and there are no enemies in sight, but there are many types of traps.

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

   Using so many traps to prevent people from saving that stupid princess is really careful enough.

   But I didn't see any trace of the enemy. Did I just go out and get in touch with my employer?

  No, just be careful. Chi Ying secretly said in his heart.

   did not rush to save Princess Zhuji, but continued to move among the stone walls of the hill. After repeatedly confirming that there was no trace of the enemy, Chi Ying was convinced of his judgment.

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

   Let's bring people back as soon as possible.

   Compared with the job of exterminating bounty hunters, Chiying felt that bringing Princess Zhuji back as soon as possible was the most important thing at the moment.

   These bounty hunters, let them go for a while.

   found the room where Princess Zhuji was, and the other party was unable to lean against a cold wall and sat there limply.

   That Chinese dress is still neat, but there is some dust on his face, and there is also a tired and tired look. When he is running around on the road, he must have suffered a lot.

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

   "Um...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 burdensome princess in person, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that the other party was taken away by the bounty hunter for some reasons.

   Also, even if I don't like this woman very much, the other party is also the important daughter of the bear kingdom, so be calm and don't get angry.

   Heart like still water is the most important state of mind for ninjas.

   Always be calm.

   Chi Ying checked carefully, and there was no trap beside Princess Zhu Ji.

   Are those bounty hunters overconfident or careless? Chiying doesn't want to find out.

   walked to Princess Zhu Ji and squatted down, Chi Ying stretched out her hand to Princess Zhu Ji and took down the Busai from her mouth.

   "Master Ninja, get out of here!"

"Ok?"

   Hearing Princess Zhuji's shout, Chi Ying was stunned for a moment, then realized something, and stretched out her hand to tear open the outer layer of clothes in front of Princess Zhuji.

  A large number of detonating charms were attached to Princess Zhuji's underwear and burned at a very fast speed.

   Chi Ying's pupils suddenly shrank.

   Before he could think too much, Chi Ying reached out his hand subconsciously and tore off the detonating talisman attached to Princess Zhuji's blouse.

  ——Beyond the hill, a figure stood on the sandy ground, wrapped in a black tight-fitting ninja suit, wearing a mask, with almost only a pair of cold eyes exposed.

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

  Boom!

   With a violent explosion, the sand dune in front of him was devastated for a while.

  A large number of earth and rocks in the weathered eyes were scattered around, and a terrifying explosion erupted around.

  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 firelight was like the karmic fire of red lotus beating wildly.

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

   The detonating charm originally placed on Princess Zhuji was just a decoy mechanism, and at the moment of the explosion, it would also explode with the rest of the mechanisms in the dune.

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

  The human body is a body of flesh and blood, and it cannot compete with a detonating talisman with super-high lethality.

   The black-clothed ninja confirmed this, and the next moment he seemed to sense something and frowned slightly.

The back of the    is like a peacock opening its screen, spreading out several pairs of beautiful chakra wings.

  These wings fluttered in the air, and they took the black-clothed ninja to fly high into the sky with great 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 he is not dead."

   If he were to fight head-on, he could not be his opponent. This point, the ninja in black is very convinced.

  I saw that in the center of the sea of ​​​​fire, most of Chi Ying's body was burned, and the ragged clothes looked like a beggar begging for food on the roadside.

   Behind him is the body of Princess Zhuji.

   Only a small part of the clothes were burned, and the long black hair that was neat and tidy was also messy and covered with dust. Overall, it's pretty safe.

   The ninja in black who saw this scene naturally expressed surprise.

   "Faced with the horror of life and death, it's really tricky to be a ninja who is loyal to the Lord. Wouldn't it be easier to just die in the previous explosion?"

   His words were just murmurs, and the people below naturally couldn't hear them.

   "Ninja-sama... your body..."

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

  Escaped after the catastrophe, seeing the young man who was desperately standing in front of him, blocking all attacks with his flesh and blood, his beautiful face also showed a strong color of worry, and there was a hint of distress in his eyes.

  Why does Ninja-sama do this?

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

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

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

   As a cargo, if you don't have this kind of self-awareness, it's very difficult to live under the protection of the daimyo.

  It is accustomed to be obedient, and resistance is in vain.

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

   No matter how loyal you are, life is something you shouldn’t give up so easily.

   Sometimes giving up is the best option.

  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 low, so that the enemy could not see that he was already at the end of the shot.

   is not absolute.

   Because he never imagined that the enemy would place a detonating talisman on such an important 'cargo' as Zhu Ji.

   This does not fit the definition of a bounty hunter at all.

   At this moment, Chiying looked up at the black-clothed ninja in the sky, gritted her teeth in pain.

   Got it.

   The purpose of the other party was not Princess Zhuji from the beginning, but his guard!

   was calculated.

   Princess Zhu Ji was just a bait to lure him into being fooled.

   If the purpose is Princess Zhu Ji, placing the detonating charm is too much.

   If the purpose was him, then the result would be different.

   The opponent is not a bounty hunter at all.

   From the beginning, his guess with the ugly cow was wrong.

   "Really tenacious, but your future will end here."

   The ninja in black has a tone of cherishing talent.

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

   However, the world of ninjas is so cruel.

   Killing each other is also the norm.

  It doesn't matter whether the means are despicable or not, what matters is victory.

"Not always."

  Although he knew that it was him who was in an extremely disadvantageous state, Chiying had no plans to admit defeat.

   "Master Ninja..."

Before    Princess Zhuji finished speaking, Chi Ying quickly turned around and wrapped her left hand around Zhuji's soft body.

"what!"

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

  Although I have been in close contact with Chi Ying before, this is the first time I have embraced in such an ambiguous position.

   For the innocent princess, it was as exciting as the first experience, and the nerves of the whole body became sensitive.

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

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

  The wind is rolling the fire~www.readwn.com~ The red sparks are flying in the air.

   Looking at Chi Ying's young but resolute face, Princess Zhu Ji felt that she had never been so fascinated by a man.

  Can't help it, Princess Zhu Ji stretched out her hands and hugged Chi Ying's neck.

   "I believe in you, Ninja-sama."

  “?”

   What strange things is this princess with a problem in her head thinking?

   is 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 she is desperate to protect this troubled princess.

  Because if you stop here, you can't even protect a useless princess, how can you become the shadow behind that adult and sweep away all obstacles in the way for him?

   Everything he did was for the sake of that lord.
