The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 68 Encountering Cloud Ninja
Today is the third day of Rikimaru's investigation in Yuno Country.

Because he needs to hide his tracks at any time, Rikimaru's actions are not fast. He has continuously checked the four positions that Orochimaru gave him, but he has not found any trace of Kumo Shinobi. He can only move towards the next goal. away.

Yuno Country is close to Konoha, and the geographical environment is not bad. Rikimaru, who lives in Konoha all year round, is not disturbed by the climate here, and for an excellent ninja, there is no problem at all in surviving in the wilderness.

"Hey, I don't know how long this kind of life will last."

Riki rested on a tree branch, with a helpless expression on his face. This was the first time he performed a mission alone, and it was difficult at the beginning. So far, he hadn't collected any information, and he didn't even think about going back. station.

Although he has never been in contact with Dashemaru, but from the anime, he is definitely a cruel, ruthless person.

If he goes back without getting any information, it will definitely cause Orochimaru's dissatisfaction. He is working under Orochimaru now, and if Orochimaru is dissatisfied with him, the end can be imagined.

Slowly falling asleep with emotions, after an unknown amount of time, Riki was suddenly awakened by a rustling sound.

"Someone!"

Even when he fell asleep, Riki didn't cancel his stealth ability. With his current chakra recovery speed, he kept turning on his stealth skill for five or six days without any pressure. In this kind of primeval forest, the first task is of course to ensure safety.

Like a hunting dog, Rikimaru's body tensed up in an instant, and he looked towards the place where the sound came from.

When he opened his eyes, he realized that the sky hadn't completely brightened yet. The hazy morning light and the clear air made people very comfortable, but Riki just took a breath, and immediately restrained his breath.

"Ninja?"

Soon he saw someone, and it turned out to be the Yunyin ninja he had been struggling to find, because these people all wore Yunin's forehead protector.

"It's really easy to come by."

I searched hard for a long time, but got nothing. I didn't expect that after I slept last night, I accidentally encountered Yun Ren who was hiding.

There were three of the cloud ninjas who appeared, and it looked like a small team, but Rikimaru couldn't tell what level of ninja the opponent was from the appearance of the opponent, so he carefully observed in the dark.

The three cloud ninjas walked to an open space not far from Riki to rest, but Riki could see clearly that they seemed to be relaxed, but in fact the three of them were constantly observing their surroundings, very vigilant.

This kind of vigilance has been maintained for about 2 minutes. They found nothing unusual before they completely relaxed.

"Our mission this time is to sneak into the territory of the Fire Kingdom, contact other companions, and then investigate the situation of the ninja troops in Konoha Village. The adult has been waiting a little impatiently, and is going to give Konoha a hard time. We Absolutely don’t hold back.”

"clear."

"Just follow the plan we made before, sneak in from there, and there must be no mistakes."

"........."

Although the voices of these three people were very low, Rikimaru relied on his stealth skills to approach, and probably understood what the other party said.

"It turns out that Yunin really has a purpose."

Although I still don't understand what the purpose of Yunyin Village is, but from the conversation between these three people, Riki heard a lot of important content. This time, Yunyin is not blindly attacking the border of Fire Nation, but purposeful. As for what the purpose is, I am afraid it is the "adult" among the three people.

The three of them stood up after resting for a while, as if they were about to leave.

A cold light flashed in Riki's eyes, he finally found them, how could he let them leave so easily.

The three cloud ninjas tidied up and took action, but just as they walked not far away, the cloud ninja who fell at the end suddenly felt a pain in the back, and couldn't help but let out a scream.

"what!"

The other two cloud ninjas who were advancing were startled when they heard the screams, and quickly looked back.

"Clay, you."

Before they finished speaking, they realized the problem, because Crey's eyes widened, and he pointed his hands behind him with difficulty.

"Enemy attack."

The two of them were going to rescue their companion, but of course they knew it was too late when they saw the big pool of blood on their companion's chest.

"Isn't this helping your companions to avenge themselves?"

The voice came from behind, and then their companions were pushed aside. The two cloud ninjas finally saw who their opponent was, and it turned out to be a small-looking boy.

"who are you?"

Because Rikimaru wasn't wearing a ninja suit or a forehead protector, the other party didn't recognize him immediately.

If the opponent doesn't make a move, Rikimaru will naturally not strike first. The longer the delay, the better for him. His skills have a cooldown time.

"Aren't you still discussing what to do just now? Why don't you recognize me now that I appear in front of you?"

"Are you Konoha's ninja?"

The two cloud ninjas were startled, they never expected Konoha's ninja to appear beside them, and he seemed to have been following them for a long time, but they didn't notice it at all.

"The other party is not an ordinary kid, be careful."

The remaining two cloud ninjas, the one who seemed to be the leader, whispered to the other.

"Since you don't attack, then I will not be polite."

While speaking, Rikimaru's figure unexpectedly slowly disappeared.

"What about people?"

Those two cloud ninjas had been on guard all the time, but they were all taken aback when they suddenly saw Rikimaru disappear.

"He is not an ordinary ninja, I will hold him back, you go back and pass the information to the adults."

After seeing Rikimaru's disappearance, the leader Kumo Shinobi immediately gave instructions to the other person without the slightest hesitation.

The other cloud ninja responded. Although they hadn't fought Rikimaru yet, the opponent disappeared in front of them. This must not be an ordinary ninja. They couldn't find each other, and it might not be easy to win, so the top priority, Just to pass this information back.

"How could it be possible for you to escape."

Yun Nin, who was turning around and just took a step, suddenly froze, clutching his neck vigorously, trying to speak, but couldn't say anything, he just saw his murderer out of the corner of his eye.

"Water Escape Water Dragon Bomb!"

A water dragon roared towards Riki, and Riki immediately dropped Kamo Shinobi's body, retreated quickly, avoiding the impact of the water dragon, and quickly formed a seal with his backhand.

"Tu Dun · Tulong Spear!"

A sharp rock emerged from the ground, piercing the only remaining Yunin, forcing the opponent to retreat continuously, while Rikimaru immediately changed direction and rushed towards the opponent.
