Konoha Thief

Chapter 148 Preset Technique

Chizawa Mountain is close to the border of the Land of Fire, and across from it is the largest main battlefield of the Second Ninja World War - the Land of Rain.

So when Rena Kitami noticed that there were traces of ninja actions near Mt. Shakuzawa, she subconsciously thought that it was some kind of action by Amane. The ninja involved in the C-level mission seemed to be beyond the specification, but the second ninja war gave As a Konoha ninja, she had strong confidence, so she directly chose to take the initiative to attack, but the result made her turn pale with shock.

Even if she hadn't carefully prepared for the retreat in advance, in case she was unprepared, and also set up intercepting traps, Kitami's team would have been wiped out in the first confrontation!
After that, the bandits became enraged and began to wreak havoc on the surrounding villages, burning, killing and looting, and the wailing sounded in their ears, making the Kitami team hiding in the dark clenched their fists and gritted their teeth in resentment.

It's just that the bandit leader is powerful and definitely possesses the strength of a Jōnin. In addition, he has two helpers. With the strength of the Beijian team, even if he plans the deadliest sneak attack, he will only end up being wiped out.

So hatred turns to hatred and anger turns to anger. A ninja is a ninja after all. Seeing the tragedy, Rena Kitami became more and more murderous, but she strictly abided by the rules of the ninja and sent the information back to Konoha, waiting for support.

Her subordinates were angry and irritable, but they were also suppressed by her. Everything was waiting for the arrival of support!
On this day, a small village of more than ten households was destroyed, and bandits brutally killed a village of young and old. Kitami's team only saw half of it, and left in depression.

Even a ninja is a living person, and no matter how cold his heart is, he will tremble in the face of such an inhuman tragedy.

Back in the woods that had shrunk in recent days, Kitami Rena jumped onto the branch of the tree and looked into the distance silently, but the expression in her eyes was particularly gloomy.

boom!
The fist slammed heavily on the tree trunk, the bark exploded and the tree trunk trembled.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!"

The short, strong boy lowered his head, his fists pressed against the tree trunk, and his shoulders kept shrugging, which proved that the grief and anger in his heart had reached a critical value.

"Xiongtai..." The girl with pink short hair whispered worriedly, her face was also pale.

Witnessing tragedies one after another, for the girl who has just become a ninja, what she gets is not adaptation and indifference, but an indescribable fear and shrinking.

Asakusa Kumata was sad and angry, and did not respond to the pink-haired girl's inquiries. The latter could only look away and look at another companion.

The slender, white-haired boy sat on the ground, doing chakra refining exercises, and seemed to be very calm and calm.

"Try to get used to it, Sakurano."

The white-haired boy suddenly opened his mouth, which made the girl named Sakurao stunned.

"Sheng...sorry, I'm the one who dragged everyone down." Sakura apologized dejectedly.

"We are companions." Hota Katsuki glanced at the pink-haired girl and said lightly.

Suzuki Sakura felt even more ashamed when she heard the words.

Trust and support are always stressful.

The girl wanted to say something, Kitami Rena suddenly jumped down from the tree.

"The support has arrived."

Meanwhile, somewhere in the southeast of the forest.

With a crackling sound, the withered yellow branches were crushed, and amidst the flying sawdust, Gennosuke Aoki stepped on the air and fell to the ground.

Turning around and quickly adjusting the center of gravity, reaching out to grab the broken branch, and after landing to relieve the force, Aoki Gennosuke sized up the dead branch and broken wood with a slightly hesitant expression.

"What's the matter, Mr. Xuanzhisuke?" Xia Shu stopped on the tree branch and asked with downcast eyes.

"Not sure." Aoki Gennosuke shook his head.

Maruyoshi Kosuke suddenly fell aside.

"Senior Gusuke..."

Aoki Gennosuke handed over the broken branch in his hand, and the latter checked it a little after knotting it, and then gave a conclusion.

"It's a preset technique, a technique commonly used in the field of traps, and also involved in ninjutsu. It can be high or low." Speaking of this, Maruhoshi Kosuke paused, and then continued: "The low-end The presetting technique is enough to strengthen the flexibility and precision of trap setting, and the high-end one can delay the release of some special ninjutsu, which has the effect of catching people off guard, and the latter can be classified into the category of sealing technique."

"Sealing technique?" Kuno Heiyu obviously had never heard of such a thing.

"I'll tell you later." Xia Shu was perfunctory, looked down and asked, "Can Senior Gu Jie analyze the function of this cut branch?"

"Konoha's Kitami family masters a perceptual ninjutsu combined with the preposition technique. As long as they touch something that has been cast with the preposition technique, they will be instantly perceived by the other party." Kosuke Maruhoshi said indifferently.

"The Kitami clan?" Aoki Gennosuke was startled when he heard the words, and immediately realized, "The ninja leading this mission is from the Kitami clan, right?"

"That's right, it's Kitami Rena Chunin."

Although this support mission is urgent, the secrecy rules for ninja abilities are always implemented no matter which village it is, and it is not only for guarding against outsiders, but also for ninjas in their own village.

It's just that this kind of confidentiality principle is almost useless to some ninjas, and the Kitami family is only a very small part of it.

"So... we have been discovered?" Gennosuke Aoki raised his eyebrows, his expression somewhat inexplicably frustrated.

"Then do you want to wait here, Mr. Gennosuke?" Xia Shu asked, but his eyes were already looking for a place to hide.

"There is no other choice." Aoki Gennosuke shrugged, looked around and nodded, "It's in the woods, so it's a good place to hide."

After saying this, a group of four people hid themselves and waited for Kitami's team to arrive.

There is silence in the forest, only the cold wind that blows from time to time.

Suddenly, the sound of clothes rubbing against the air came from the wind, attached to the top branch of a big tree, Xia Shu, who was disguised by the transformation technique, looked to the north where the tree shadows were heavy, and saw a few blurred figures rushing quickly.

Those figures came very quickly, and within a few breaths, they came to the place where Aoki Gennosuke stepped on the air and fell. At this time, Xia Shu could already clearly see the general appearance of the comer from the perspective of looking down.

Kitami Rena looked up at the broken tree branch, looked around, but couldn't find any clues, just when she was about to call out, she suddenly turned and looked up.

A black light flew over, like a shooting star!

Raising her hand sideways to grab it, Kitami Rena caught the kunai steadily, then raised her eyes and frowned to look at the young man who walked out from behind the tree.

"Kitami Chunin?"

"You are……"

"Gennosuke Aoki, Chunin, this is the mission statement."

As he said that, Gennosuke Aoki threw out the mission scroll, and then found that the other party's expression seemed a little dissatisfied.

This made him frown secretly, but it was not because he felt that he was underestimated, but because the opponent for this mission was very likely to exceed expectations!
