The dark forest was dotted with torches, like a burning fire, scattered with a few sporadic points of light, showing an alternative beauty in the dark night.

Under the swaying firelight, there were orange faces, with a bit of fear and coldness in their eyebrows. It was the fear of danger and death, and the last loyalty.

They held the long sword tightly in their hands, and the blade was cold and cold, but this did not give them enough confidence.

23 villagers formed a circle, and inside the protective circle was a young man and woman. Although the man was dressed like a young farmer, he exuded an innate nobility.

He was tall and tall, and his posture was upright, and his face did not show the panic that he should have after being surrounded.

He held a graceful woman tightly in his arms, presumably Oda Kikuhime.

Uchiha Itachi and Kisame blocked the beginning and end of the road respectively, forcing them to form such a formation.

The leading man was Tanaka Jiro, the farmer who rented a house for them before. He took a step forward, his face full of disbelief and anger: "This is impossible, I clearly saw you and that woman eating and going back to the house to sleep! "

Kisame Inikaki took the Samehada sword and slowly untied the belt: "That girl is harmless to humans and animals and is quite active. She gets along very well with those two avatars. She is very suitable for confusing you and lowering your guard."

"When did you get a separate body?"

"When I'm cleaning in the afternoon, I don't want to do housework like wiping things and wiping the floor, so naturally I have to get someone to help."

"..., we disguised ourselves so well, how did you find out?"

"Do you think it's strange that there is only one village woman in a village, and all the villagers are young adults? This kind of population structure is really interesting. So it is almost not difficult to guess your identity."

Tanaka Jiro was silent for a brief moment, and he gritted his teeth: "How did you find this place? How did you know that we were hiding in this village?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Itachi threw a kunai, and with the rebound of the tree trunk, it went around in a circle and went straight into Tanaka Jiro's throat.

The aorta ruptured instantly, and blood spurted out, splashing loudly.

"Kisame, there's no need to talk nonsense with them. Let's deal with these samurai and complete the mission as soon as possible."

But Kisame Kisame was still slowly untying Samehada's cloth ties, and the corners of his mouth were raised slightly: "Hey, hey, don't kill so quickly. As the saying goes, 'If you hear the word in the morning, you will die in the evening.' Take your Tell them the technique, not only can they understand how to die, but it can also show off the talents of our ninjas, what a bargain."

The long period between the Ninja Sect and the Warring States Period was the history of samurai being gradually replaced by ninjas.Compared with the various ninjutsu of ninjas that are almost heaven-defying, a samurai who only relies on a long sword and sword skills to chop around is too simple.

Not long after, torches and long knives fell to the ground one after another, and everything returned to darkness.

It has to be said that Uchiha Itachi's technique was very clean and neat, and the people who fell one after another did not even let out an unnecessary cry.

Kisame Kisaki lit one of the torches and threw it on the tree trunk, adding a new light to the dark night.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, he couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch his eyebrows: "This time Itachi showed no mercy at all."

At present, all the 23 warriors disguised as civilian husbands have fallen, leaving only the man and woman embracing each other.

Uchiha Itachi fumbled around again and found that he didn't have enough kunai with him. He pulled out a handful of corpses from the side and slowly walked towards the man holding Kikuhime: "The request on the mission scroll is to kill Oda Kikuhime." The men around me.”

"That makes sense. The scroll talks about killing the men around Kikuji, and it doesn't clearly say how many. Naturally, it would be best to kill them all. That's right. Itachi-san is quite good at reviewing questions."

As Kisame Mikasaki said, he untied Samehada's knife-wrapping cloth in an instant and walked in front of Itachi-san: "Itachi-san, we work as partners. We can't always let you work alone. This time, this Leave the man to me."

Seeing that he wanted to take action, Uchiha Itachi immediately threw the kunai in his hand and folded his arms to watch.

When Juji in her arms heard such words, she quickly reached out to wipe her tearful eyes and stood in front of the man.

"You can't kill him! I don't allow you to kill him!" Oda Kikuhime's voice was trembling and pleading, and her face was filled with tears. "I know that you must have accepted the mission scroll issued by my father. As long as you don’t kill him, I will definitely give you... 1000 million taels in return!"

Kisame Kisaki shook his head in embarrassment: "1000 million taels is too little. The scroll your father released is 2000 million. Should you increase the price appropriately?"

Oda Kikuhime was stunned for a moment. She thought that the price she offered was 1000 million taels, which was already a high price. However, she did not expect that her father would go out of his way to offer a sky-high price of 2000 million taels in order to find her.

Although she took a lot of money with her when she left home, she only had almost 500 million taels. The 1000 million taels she just said were already false reports.

At that moment, Ju Ji murmured, somewhat unbelievably: "Two... 2000 million?"

"Don't Miss Kikuhime have so much money? That's such a pity." Kisame Mikigaki waved his hand helplessly and took up Samehada again.

Seeing this scene, the man knew in his heart that he was doomed.

He took out a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Oda Kikuhime: "Kikuhime, it would be a great happiness to meet you in this life and live with you in this place for four months. These four months are very important to me." That's enough, I'll die without regrets. After I leave, don't disobey your father's orders willfully, don't miss me, and live a happy life."

"Nobuyuki, I won't let them kill you!" Oda Kikuhime protected the man behind her and protected him with her body.

"Oh, Miss Ju Ji holds him in such a tight and airtight way that I can't even do anything."

"Please, I'm begging you. The child in my belly is already three months old. I don't want him to be without a father as soon as he is born. I will agree to whatever money you want, and I can give you a loan."

"It's really pitiful." Kisame Mikigaki pursed his lips, as if he couldn't bear to see this scene.

"Kisame, I didn't realize that you still have such a soft-hearted side, and you pity these lovers." Itachi Uchiha was obviously a little impatient, "It doesn't make any sense for you to listen to their nonsense. An empty verbal promise is not as good as anything." The scroll exchange for gold is more stable and reliable. Since you can't do it, let me do it this time."

Uesugi Natsuka, who was standing on the tree eating melon and watching the whole process, finally couldn't stand anymore.

She jumped down and came to Kikuji in one stride, blocking Itachi's steps: "Itachi-san, we can't kill him!"

"Itachi-san, actually we don't have to kill that man. We can let him go. The scroll does not require us to bring back the man's head or any piece of body tissue. Our main task is to bring back Oda Kikuhime. , no one will know about it if we don’t kill that man, and the bounty will never be small.”

Seeing that she finally couldn't help but show up, Inikaki Kisame smiled sincerely at the corner of his mouth, and wrapped the cloth in his hand again.

This time he did not join in the discussion of killing or not killing, and watched them both calmly.
