The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

80 Sudden Attack
Except for Riki, five of the other seven people who were seriously injured were highly disabled and would not be able to become combatants in the future. The other two were better, but they couldn't be like before.

From a combatant to a logistician, maybe even incapable of being a ninja, the difference is huge.

Riki could feel that although the people who talked to him appeared to be indifferent and joking, they were actually in great pain.

Although the village has pensions for the injured, how can it be compared to the income of combatants?

But Riki knew better that this was the normal state of the ninja world. They were only injured after all. Compared with those who died, they were undoubtedly much luckier. It was impossible for them not to be injured on the battlefield.

Because everyone was wounded, they moved at a relatively slow speed. It was not until the fifth day that they arrived at a stronghold in the village, which was in charge of the handover, under the escort of the four guard ninja squads.

Konoha Village is the most important military force in the Land of Fire, so countless strongholds have been established in the Land of Fire, mainly responsible for a certain range of security, as well as the role of conveying intelligence and news.

This time, Riki and the others will be sent to this stronghold, and then send people back to the village from this stronghold. This has already been communicated with the village.

Even in the Kingdom of Fire, the stronghold of Muye Village is hidden. The guards confirmed it a few times before walking towards the stronghold, and led everyone to a very remote reserve station. This is Muye Village. The stronghold of Ye Village.

"Not right!"

However, when Rikimaru and the others approached, the captain of the ninja team who was suddenly guarding suddenly shouted.

The people who were relatively relaxed at first immediately tightened their spirits, and all made preparations for battle, even the wounded like Rikimaru and the others were no exception.

"What's going on?" Everyone looked at the Jonin captain.

I saw this Jonin named Hijikata Shiro with a serious expression on his face: "The situation is wrong. Our village's stronghold is very secret, but the security is also very strict. We have all entered the security range, but we still haven't seen anyone. question."

Although Rikimaru had never been in contact with any important stronghold outside the village, he immediately understood after listening to it that the most important thing for a stronghold is its defense. No matter who comes, it is impossible that no one will show up.

But now that they have come, but no one greets them, if there is no problem, then there is something wrong.

"Everyone stay vigilant, it is estimated that there will be fighting."

Ninjas never believe in coincidences and accidents. Since something like this happened, it means that there must be something wrong with this stronghold, so there must be no chances.

Before the words fell, countless shurikens were shot from all directions, the goal was to let them all go.

"careful!"

As soon as they found out that the situation was wrong, they were already attacked. It was obvious that the other party was already waiting for them. Riken.

But everything that can move is done by hand, Riki is no exception, his left hand is useless, but his right hand is fine, he moves his body quickly, holding Kunai to keep resisting the incoming shuriken.

But the opponent shot too many shurikens. The uninjured ninja team was okay, but those injured, especially the disabled ninjas, were in bad luck. , several people were shot and screamed.

"Protect the wounded, spread out, spread out!"

The only Jonin, Hijikata Shiro, shouted eagerly, and took the lead to block the front. He is the captain of the guard this time. If the wounded have an accident, he cannot escape responsibility.

The other three Chunin immediately dispersed with one wounded on their backs, and the wounded who were able to move freely also avoided each other or used ninjutsu to resist. Although they were injured, it did not mean that they lost all fighting power.

Riki was also very anxious. Although he had extraordinary abilities, his left arm was injured and he couldn't rescue others at all.

"what!"

Suddenly, there was a shrill scream behind him, and after a quick glance, he saw that the uncle who had teased him before had tattooed his whole body with shurikens.

"Uncle Mita!"

Riki's eyes turned red, for a few days, he got along well with the extremely wounded, and this Uncle Mita often chatted with him and made fun of him, he was a very kind uncle.

Seeing this uncle covered in blood at this time, he was naturally very sad.

This Uncle Mita is also one of the disabled people. One of his arms was broken at the root, and a few fingers of his other hand were broken. He is no longer able to become a ninja.

Riki remembered very clearly that Uncle Mita told him yesterday that his ninja career had come to an end, but he still had a son, and he would work hard to raise his son.

He even joked that after his son became a ninja, he hoped to be defeated by Rikimaru. In this case, even if he died, he would rest in peace.

Uncle Mita, although covered in blood, did not die immediately, nor did he fall down, instead he rushed towards Rikimaru.

"Rikimaru, let's go, the enemy is dark, we can see, let's go."

He slammed into Riki ruthlessly, then blocked Riki with his own body, shouting excitedly at Riki.

"Uncle Mita!"

Richimaru glared and gritted his teeth, he understood what the other party meant, Uncle Mita knew he couldn't escape, so he exhausted all his strength, hoping that he could escape, they only knew each other for a few days.

"Go, go!"

While speaking, he was stabbed by countless shurikens again, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he yelled at Riki angrily. Riki is the genius of the village. He is hopeless, but we must keep Riki. That was his last thought.

This time is no longer the time to grieve, Rikimaru gritted his teeth, and quickly retreated using the space created by Mita.

"Master Tufang, what shall we do?"

A group of 12 people, after being attacked for a round, there were only eight people left, including four guards and four wounded. Because they were retreating in one direction, everyone gathered together again.

Hiding among the bushes and trees, except for Rikimaru and Hijikata Shiro who were not injured, the other six people were somewhat injured.

Hijikata Shiro looked gloomy: "It seems that we have been targeted long ago, and this stronghold has also been exposed, but we don't know who the enemy is, why do we do this?"

The loss of four people made Hijikata Shiro very angry. They were attacked on their own territory. What kind of enemy is so blatant.
