Konoha's Thief Hand

Chapter 474

The wind and sand gradually stopped, like the night sky covered with a layer of gauze, the stars shining, forming a beautiful picture.

With the guidance of the stars, Xia Shu found the way again, walking on the long yellow sand, enduring the cold of the night, and walking in the direction of Konoha across the country of the river.

At this moment, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Seven, hehe, not bad, not bad.” Accepting the memory of Shadow Clone and feeling the pit of Chakra injected into the seven strands of Chakra, Xia Shu was extremely satisfied.

Although Shadow Clone’s strength is incomparable with the body, it can kill seven opponents even if the enemy is aware of it, and there are also Sand Shinobi Anbu’s elites, which is enough to prove Natsuki’s strength to a certain extent.

When the remaining ninjas return to Sand Shinobi, there will be a new profile that will appear on Sand Shinobi Anbu’s list. As for the man’s biggest crime, it was not the killing of multiple Sand Shinobi ninjas, but the killing of One Tail Jinchūriki!

“I didn’t use the power of the static card, but used the messy lion hair technique. Ha ha, I hope Sand Shinobi can find this person.” Xia Shu expressed his silent mourning for Sand Shinobi’s pursuit of killing for many years.

…

After converging the corpse, Yamagata Takeshi and the Anbu Ninja who led the team sat in front of the bonfire, listening to the roar of the night, and were silent for a long time.

“Next, what do you do?” The Anbu ninja who led the team broke the silence, looking at Yamagata Takashi and asked indifferently.

With the death of Jinchūriki and the disappearance of the enemy’s trail, the tracking operation finally ended in failure, and even when they returned to Sunagakure, they were likely to be punished for it, but as Anbu ninjas, they had no choice but to return to Sunagakure.

“I don’t know.” Yamagata was silent for a long time, holding his head and hanging his head, his voice grimly said: “Jinchūriki was killed is my fault, but such a felony will definitely not only punish me.”

Having said that, he raised his head, his face was full of tears, and his eyes were full of prayers and looked at the other person, saying: “Please let my subordinates die in battle, and I will bear all the guilt!”

He emphasized “all” in his words.

“team leader!”

“Captain!~”

The ninjas of the guards hurriedly came to Yamagata’s side, and when they called out, tears were already in their eyes.

Surrounded by many Sand Shinobi ninjas, Yamagata Takashi knelt down, praying for the Anbu ninja in front of him, and waiting for a response.

Under the mask of the leading Anbu ninja, his eyes narrowed into a line, and his mind was hesitating between the two thoughts, although he was already inclined.

“Please make a decision, Captain.”

At this time, the few remaining Anbu ninjas came to the side, and the tone of the urging words and the look in the eyes made him completely determined.

“Oh, it can only be so.” He sighed, and he didn’t know whether he was facing his subordinates or himself.

After a while, the tower collapsed and shattered with a loud bang. The remains of the former temple are now completely in ruins. Only a few of the empty houses can survive the wind and sand.

…

A few days later, Xia Shu, who was covered in wind and dust, finally saw the wooden leaf fence between the trees.

Enter through the roots, and as always, first come to the root base.

“Senior Matsuzaki?” The ninja named Ren called out as soon as he arrived at the root base.

“What’s the matter?” Xia Shu stopped and turned to look at each other.

Ren seemed to be in a hurry, and she used Shunzai to quickly come over, facing Xia Shu’s suspicious eyes and said: “Master Danzo’s command before leaving, I want you to go to the country of rain immediately after you come back and follow in their footsteps.”

“The Land of Rain?” Xia Shu was taken aback for a moment, and asked, “What happened that caused Master Danzo to go there in person?”

“I don’t know, but it should be something that I have been paying attention to.” Ren shook his head and said.

“How many manpower did Master Danzo take away on this trip?” Xia Shu knew that the other party was only managing the root base, and that he had no better understanding of many secrets, so he could only change the question.

“Except for the ones outside, all the rest are taken away, and the orders to your predecessors are especially left behind.” Ren replied truthfully.

“What the hell is coming out of the nest?” Xia Shu sighed, and said to Ren: “I know, I will start when I recover.”

“Good.” Ren nodded back.

Turning to leave the root base, Xia Shu returned home to clean it, carefully hid the scroll containing the Shou Crane Chakra, and then went to sleep.

Sleep is the best way to rest after all.

When I woke up, it was already night, and the world was full of groggy scenes. Xia Shu tidyed up his clothes and did not waste time doing other things. He left Konoha through the passage at the root and headed for the northern rain country.

When the world was dim again, Xia Shu broke into the kingdom of rain.

The continuous rain water falls on the ground one after another like a curtain of beads, breaking apart, soaking the ground and forming mist at the same time, making the ground feel like floating in the clouds and mist.

Following the secret signal unique to the root, he joined the others the day after he came to the country of rain, but Danzo and Aburame Ryoma were not in the team at this time.

“Cooperating with Hanzo in Rain Shinobi Village, it turns out that this kind of big event really requires Master Danzo to come forward in person.” Xia Shu heard the root ninja telling it, pretending to be authentic.

Are these guys kept in the dark too?

Obviously, no one knows Danzo’s real purpose, including his subordinates.

The plot of colluding with Hanzo to deal with Akatsuki took place in the original book during the Third Ninja War, but now the war ends much earlier than in the original book. Now Danzo and Hanzo are colluding with Akatsuki, almost exactly when things happened in the original book.

In the afternoon, the rain eased slightly, and Xia Shu, who had recovered his strength, stood in front of the cave opened by Earth Style, looking at the rainy scenery in the distance, and crushed a pill.

Although after the training of Sage Mode, ordinary Chakra’s filling effect on deep pits is dwarfed, but no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat. Xia Shu still eats two grain pills for a long time.

At this moment, a few figures appeared in the rain curtain, coming straight toward this side. Xia Shu didn’t use the heart net to perceive, but just squinted a little and confirmed that it was Danzo and others.

“Master Danzo.” When Danzo and others entered the cave, Xia Shu approached him and said.

“You are here, Matsuzaki.” Danzo still had an unsmiling cold expression, but there was a lightness in his tone, and he was obviously satisfied with the outcome of the matter.

“I met Ren when I returned to the base. I took a break and rushed over.” Xia Shu said briefly, and then asked, “Master Danzo, did the alliance go well?”
