Konoha Steady King

The footsteps were quite strange. They sounded hurried and occasionally mixed with stumbling sounds. It was obvious that the person who came was seriously injured.

Ye Shan narrowed his eyes, and the Seal Jutsu in his hand quietly changed into the Thunder Release Ninjutsu. He made up his mind that the person coming was not a spy who came to contact him, so he killed him with one strike, and then left this place of right and wrong.

At this time, the moon had already passed the zenith, and there was a faint hint of bright white on the horizon. It would not be long before it would be bright.The spy who met as promised has not shown up yet. I am afraid there was an accident. In addition, the sand ninja looked hurriedly as if he was searching for something. Hayama speculated that something serious must have happened. At this juncture, he did not want to be the victim. The object for Suna Ninja to vent his anger on.

Gradually, the sound of footsteps became clearer, and at the same time, the sound of liquid dripping on the sand reached Ye Shan's ears, making him look solemn and not daring to be careless at all.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, a female ninja about thirty years old soon appeared in Hayama's sight. She was wearing a gray uniform vest, with a white cloth strip wrapped around her head, and short shoulder-length hair. She looked heroic. , but the current situation is really embarrassing.Not only was the vest covered with blood, but there was also a finger-thick wound across the body on his abdomen, which was obviously injured by the Wind Release Ninjutsu.

The ninja seemed to have exhausted all his energy by running away. He collapsed in the sand and hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle from his ninja tool bag in an attempt to stop the bleeding from the wound.However, her approach was doomed to be in vain. It was a penetrating injury, and it couldn't be treated with any healing medicine.

Ye Shan crouched in the dark, quietly observing for tens of seconds, and then decided to test it at the risk of being exposed: "One, two, three, four, five."

The hoarse voice floated out in the night, interrupting Suna Ninja's attempt to heal her wounds. A deep joy appeared on her face painted with purple stripes, and she immediately reported the secret signal.

"Go up the mountain and fight tigers."

Ye Shan no longer hesitated and walked out of the darkness, but still holding the seal on his hand. His whole body was shrouded in a black cloak, and his face could not be seen at all: "You are late, give me an explanation."

"There was an accident in the village and all exits were temporarily closed. Is this an acceptable reason?"

The sand ninja frowned his delicate eyebrows and tried his best to endure the pain and said: "This is not the place to talk. Enemies who are good at tracking will soon pursue me. Take me away, as far away as possible."

Hayama's eyes hidden under the cloak were slightly narrowed, and he carefully looked at the Suna ninja who was slumped on the ground. After thinking for a while, he used the metallic chakra to cover every inch of skin on his body, walked over and helped her up, and then instantly body disappears.

Even though Suna Ninja accurately spoke the secret code for the connection, she still had not gained Hayama's trust, so it was always right to be careful.

Under a small sand dune about ten kilometers away from Sunagakure Village, Hayama appeared here supporting the Suna Ninja. He let go of his hands and allowed the Suna Ninja to continue to lie limply on the ground. He cautiously distanced himself and asked, "Come out." What happened?"

The sand ninja ignored Hayama, took off the cloth strip wrapped around his head and wrapped it around his abdomen, still trying to stop the flow of blood, but soon the white cloth strip was soaked in blood and turned scarlet.

Hayama watched the Suna Ninja's self-rescue with cold eyes, feeling regretful in his heart. This kind of penetrating wound had already damaged the internal organs. Even if he was sent to the hospital now, the hope of survival was very slim, let alone such a simple bandage.

Suna Ninja's death became a foregone conclusion, which was only a matter of minutes.

Sure enough, the massive blood loss caused the sand ninja's face to gradually turn pale, his body curled up unconsciously, and he began to tremble visibly to the naked eye.This is the result of the trembling of skeletal muscles to create heat when the body's heat is insufficient. Hayama has seen it many times, and every time it is a scene of imminent death, and tonight is no exception.

As if he knew his end, the look in the Suna Ninja's eyes dimmed a lot, and he immediately cheered up and said, "Are you a ninja sent by Konoha to contact us?"

Hayama opened the hood covering his head, revealing his face and the Konoha forehead protector worn on his forehead: "I am Baiyun Yeshan, if you have anything, just tell me."

"Lord Hayama?"

The light green eyes of the sand ninja burst out with light, and it was obvious that he was no stranger to Hayama: "My lord actually came here in person. It seems that the information Kuro and the others worked so hard to get can be successfully passed back to the village."

"what's your name?"

"Name? How does a spy have the right to have a name? Just call me Nightingale. I am Nightingale, who belongs to the fourth team of the third ANBU team directly under the Hokage. I have been ordered to lurk in Sunagakure Village. It is the year No. 20."

Hayama was surprised. He didn't expect that the sand ninja in front of him had been lurking for so long despite his young age. After thinking about it carefully, he was relieved.You must know that each ninja village has extremely strict defense against spies. It is impossible for ninjas who join the village to gain importance. Only native ninjas can be trusted. This is also the main reason why the number of traitors in the ninja world remains high.

"Nightingale, I think you already know that your death is inevitable. I hope you can tell the information this morning."

Hayama's words are very impersonal, but there is no way. Ninjas have never been a gentle profession. Instead of pretending to pity the other party, it is better to seize the time to get the information.

A trace of fear flashed across the pale face of the Sand Ninja, Nightingale, and she held her chest with both hands. The continuous blood loss made her a little confused, and her speech became intermittent.

Before, she relied solely on the persistence in her heart to escape from Sand Hidden Village, but now that she saw Hayama, her heart was broken. Her life force was rapidly flowing out of her young body, and she had already reached her final moments.

"Sunagakure Village...the Third Kazekage...lost his whereabouts."

The vague words were caught by Hayama, who was highly concentrated. He shook suddenly and asked hurriedly: "Why did you disappear?"

The supreme leader of a village suddenly disappeared. No wonder the group of sand ninjas were anxious. Everything had a reasonable explanation.Hayama abandoned the purpose of coming to Sand Hidden Village. Naturally, a mere ungrown Scorpion cannot be compared with the Third Kazekage.If what Nightingale said is true, no matter how important Hayama's mission is, his mission is to send information back to Konoha Village.

"According to our...confirmation, it was Scorpion who killed the Third Kazekage..."

The words were said with great effort, and the night wind seemed to blow away the vitality from Nightingale, making her lips turn pale and her feet twitching on the sand.

Hayama keenly grasped the key points of Nightingale's words. We mean that all the spies lurking in Sunagakure Village may have been wiped out. After all, only Nightingale escaped.

He squatted down, took out a small flashlight, opened the other person's half-closed eyelids, and found that her pupils had dilated, and she was obviously exhausted.

Ye Shan gritted his teeth and grabbed Nightingale's cold right hand. The few wood attribute chakra in his body was input into the opponent's body. He wanted to know more information. Nightingale couldn't die yet.

Why did Scorpion kill the Third Kazekage?Who is the next Kazekage?Will the Third Ninja War break out immediately?This information is extremely important to Konoha, so Nightingale cannot die yet.

As the wood-type chakra circulated in Nightingale's body, her face turned red, and her undetectable heartbeat became sonorous and powerful. Life briefly appeared on this necrotic body.However, Ye Shan's face turned pale, and he lost a full year of his life in a short period of time!

Nightingale obviously noticed something strange. She broke away from Hayama's hand holding hers, her chest rose and fell slightly, and she said with difficulty: "My lord, you don't have to be like this. Nightingale had realized the outcome of tonight as early as 20 years ago when she stepped into Sand Hidden Village."

"The day before yesterday, the Kazekage suddenly announced that he needed to retreat and ordered that no one should disturb him. The ninjas in the village did not pay attention. It was not until this afternoon that the ANBU directly under the Kazekage noticed something strange."

"There were no traces of fighting in the Kazekage's retreat, but the Kazekage mysteriously disappeared. Chiyo immediately ordered the village to be sealed off. Kuro noticed something was wrong and took the risk to gather seven of us, intending to break out from the agreed place. Unexpectedly, we I met Scorpion there.”

"I don't want to say more about the battle. Anyway, except for me, the other six people were killed by Scorpion, and the puppet he used was the missing Third Kazekage!"

At this point, the wood-type chakra seemed to have exhausted its power, and Nightingale's face became as pale as paper again, her eyes were half-closed, and her breathing was inaudible.

Ye Shan was silent, sighing in his heart, and stretched out his right hand to touch Nightingale's eyes, about to send him off for the last journey.

But at this moment, Nightingale's breathing became rapid, and she got the strength from nowhere to grab Ye Shan's hand, with large patches of flush appearing on her face.

Ye Shan knew that this was a flashback before death, so he hurriedly asked: "Is there anyone you care about?"

At the last moment of the other party, Ye Shan did not choose to ask her about the intelligence, but asked her what she still cared about, because there was still a trace of humanity in his heart and he could not be as cold as iron after all.

"Hayama-sama...does everything we...do...make sense?"

Nightingale's eyes were beautiful, like emeralds, and now they were filled with a look of deep anticipation of being recognized.

"Yes!" Hayama said resolutely: "Konoha will obtain extremely valuable information because of your sacrifice. You are excellent successors to the Will of Fire and great heroes of the Fire Country!"

A satisfied smile appeared on Nightingale's lips, and the hand holding Ye Shan lost strength and fell to the ground. Her eyes were wide open, staring at the stars that were about to disappear in the night sky.

"That's good...that's good...I'm so cold, has winter arrived...so cold, so cold..."

"I seem to smell the smell of seven-color meatballs..."

These were the last words left in the world by Nightingale, who had been lurking in Sand Hidden Village for 21 years. The reluctance and attachment contained in it made Hayama's heart throb violently, and the sadness still surged up, for the person who died in front of him. Born as a ninja.

Hayama has always believed that the will of fire should not be defined by words, it should be as free as the wind. Tonight's nightingale confirms his idea.

Spying is a dangerous profession. It requires ninjas to live in fear all the time but with a normal expression. It requires ninjas to betray their companions and the village they live with day and night. It even requires ninjas to change their living habits that are engraved in their bones. Unless you have great perseverance, Incapable.

Ye Shan slowly closed Nightingale's eyes that had lost their vitality. Before he could take out the scroll and put away her cold body, a green flame ignited from her abdomen. It exploded as soon as it appeared and swallowed Nightingale mercilessly. The only proof left in the world.

The Anbu's rule was not to leave a body behind after death, so Nightingale had left the spell on the surface of her body early, preparing herself to die at any time.

Hayama's right hand was wrapped in orange flames. In the green flames, he took off the ninja tool bag that Nightingale hung on his waist. He wanted to preserve the evidence that the other party had survived. He didn't care even if it was a cold ninja tool. At least the tomb would not be empty. of.

Hayama took out a worn notebook from the Nightingale Ninja Tool Bag, and flipped through it under the moonlight, and the sadness in his heart immediately became stronger.

This notebook records all trivial things, such as what the weather is like today, what are the results of today's cultivation, where is the delicious food, etc.But there is a withered lily in the middle of the notebook, which is extremely dazzling between the yellowed papers.

Sunagakure Village is located in the desert, and it is extremely difficult to feed the village's large population. Naturally, it will not be interested in planting lilies, so this withered lily comes from Konoha Village, and it is the codename of countless Nightingales. The only thought day and night.

It's a pity that these lilies have long been withered and dilapidated, just like the nightingale's identity has long been changed beyond recognition.

Recalling that the other party did not think about her relatives or mention anything she cared about before she died, it was obvious that she was truly alone.

Hayama never thought that a lily could become a ninja's thought, and he never thought that a bunch of seven-color meatballs sold everywhere in Konoha would become a ninja's last thought.

He stared at the ashes left on the sand with a stern face, stood up slowly and solemnly put the notebook in his arms, turned his head and looked at an inconspicuous place.

"Do you want to get out on your own or should I blast you out?"

Ye Shan's voice was cold, which meant that he was in a very bad mood, so bad that he wanted to vent.

The death of a ninja is often accompanied by sadness and pain. Hayama originally thought that his heart had become hardened, but unexpectedly, a string of meatballs and a lily broke through his defenses.

Everyone is destined to die, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. Hayama believed that Danzo Shimura's death was lighter than a feather and Nightingale's death was heavier than Mount Tai, although most ninjas in the village held different views.

He believed that the seven Nightingale spies should not be the only ones who would die tonight. This would be too lonely, so he decided to kill the ninja who dared to touch him. Even the King of Heaven could not stop him.

The ninja world seemed to have forgotten about him, Shirayun Hayama, killing Yagura. He was very unhappy and felt that he had been slighted.
