Konoha Silver Lightning

Chapter 201 A Not-so-Wonderful Encounter

Even if it is cloudy and rainy, there will be times of torrential rain, electric snakes flying in the sky, and bean-sized raindrops mixed with strong winds and falling to the ground.

On a muddy plain, the heavy rain at night made the surrounding visibility extremely low. At this moment, a sound suddenly penetrated the rain curtain.

"Quick, quick! He can't hold it anymore, tighten the bandage a little more!"

The boy with orange hair, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and wearing a black raincoat yelled, the rain kept falling from his cheeks, but he couldn't hide the anxious expression on his face.

Behind him, a man also wearing a black raincoat was lying on a crudely made stretcher and being carried by two people. His face was obscured by the rain curtain, but there was blood on his waist and abdomen that had been washed away by the rain. Down.

The two people carrying the stretcher hurriedly put down the stretcher when they heard the shout of the orange-haired boy. One of them knelt in front of the wounded and took out a roll of bandages to wrap his waist tightly.

The speed of blood flow slowed down, but the rise and fall of the wounded man's chest had begun to slow down. The kneeling man raised his head, and it was a beautiful young girl.

At this moment, a white paper crane, about the size of a baby's palm, was struggling to fly in the pouring rain, flapping its wings and flying into the girl's sleeve.

This paper crane looks to be made of ordinary origami, but it is really weird that it can fly in such a rain curtain, and the girl seems to have noticed something when the paper crane flew back into her sleeve.

She lifted up the bluish-purple strands of hair stuck to her cheeks by the rain, and shouted forward with one finger: "Yahiko, my origami crane found a shrine in front, let's go there quickly, I can't treat the wound under such circumstances .”

After finishing speaking, she took out the paper crane from her sleeve, refilled it with chakra, and flew forward.

The boy named Yahiko nodded, thinking that his companions would not be able to see him under such low visibility, he shouted again: "Nagato, hurry up and help Xiaonan carry the stretcher, I will go ahead and clear the way for you!"

The person called Nagato, who had been silent all this time, also responded loudly: "Okay, I understand."

Then he pulled up one end of the stretcher and seemed to step into the mud halfway. The rain hat on his head was lifted off under the bumps, revealing a long red hair that fell down to his chin, and a thin face.

His hair was combed into bangs, covering one of his eyes, while the other eye, which was outside, even the white of the eye was purple, and there were six circles spreading outward, which looked extremely weird.

At this time, the boy named Nagato also had a slightly anxious face, and he held one end of the stretcher.

"Xiao Nan, one, two, three, get up."

The two hurriedly lifted the stretcher, followed the pace of Yahiko in front, and hurried towards the shrine.

The ground was pitch-black, but fortunately Yahiko was exploring the way ahead. Under his guidance, Nagato and Xiaonan accurately avoided the pits on the ground, keeping the stretcher stable all the time.

Xiaonan's reconnaissance was very accurate, and her origami crane was in front of her to guide Yahiko, but in just 5 minutes, they saw the blurred outline of the mountain ahead.

The paper crane that had just been released to lead the way suddenly turned around and flew back again, but this time it was only halfway, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Soon, it seemed that it had lost some strength to sustain it, and the paper crane's body was wet by the rain, and it sank limply into the rainwater.

Xiao Nan looked up at the sky, it was so dark that even the rainwater hitting her face was painful, she lowered her head and shook her head.

"No, the chakra injected into the origami crane is limited, and it won't last long in this kind of heavy rain. I released so many origami cranes, but only this one came back. I think we have lost our way."

There was a bit of disappointment in her tone, as if she hadn't fulfilled her due responsibilities.

Yahiko wiped the rain off his face, looked back at the two of them and said, "Xiao Nan, this is enough, you have already found a shelter for us."

"That's right, such heavy rain is too rare, and it's not your fault."

Carrying the stretcher, Nagato, who was walking at the back, also comforted him.

Xiao Nan nodded, pulling himself together.

The three of them walked towards the outline of the mountain.

"It's here."

The three of them looked up.

It is better to say it is a hill than a mountain peak, because it is only tens of meters high at best.

There is a staircase winding upwards in front of it. Wooden red torii gates stand on both sides of the stairs, rows from bottom to top, like wide open doors.

The torii seems to be in disrepair. Under the downpour, the red paint is slowly sliding down like blood. The stairs on the road are almost invisible in the dark, like stepping into hell.

Rumble!
A lightning bolt flashed across the shrine at the top, depicting the more dilapidated shrine on the top of the mountain as terrifying as a haunted house.

It has to be said that this scene had a certain psychological impact on Xiaonan and Nagato.

Not everyone is afraid of ghosts, at least both of them are a little bit afraid of it.

Snapped!
Yahiko stepped on the stairs, feeling bewildered looking at the two people who were stunned below.

He hurriedly yelled: "Come up quickly, what's there to see, Liangqing is about to die!"

Apparently the person called Liangqing was the wounded man they had been carrying.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I'll be here soon."

Glancing at Yoshiki with pale face on the stretcher, Nagato responded quickly, gritting his teeth to suppress the discomfort in his heart.

Then he and Xiao Nan carried the stretcher and stepped up the stairs.

This is just a small shrine, and the stairs are not very high. It only took three people less than a minute to reach the top.

The location at the top of the peak is narrow, and there is only one building, the temple.

The broken windows and the pitted walls all showed that this place has been deserted for a long time. At this time, the wooden red door was tightly closed. Looking inward from the broken wooden boards covering the windows, there was no one inside.

Yahiko took a stride and hurried forward to push open the door. If it was later, his teammates might lose their lives.

"Fast forward."

A shining ninja knife rested on his neck, and Yahiko finally said: "... come."

The door had already been opened a third of the time, and there was darkness inside the door, and he couldn't see anything, and this knife protruded from the darkness.

The body of this knife emits a silvery light like a fluorescent liquid, entrenched and flowing like strips of silvery light bands, because it is too dark, Yahiko and the three can only recognize it from the rough outline. A straight ninja sword.

Perhaps Yahiko felt more, such as the coolness on his neck.

A cold voice sounded: "Get out, or I will kill you."
