The tribulation boss in Konoha World

In that flash of inspiration, Asuma remembered a legendary ninja he had heard of who was a Taki-nin.

"Legendary bounty hunter, Taki-nin rebels against Ninja Kakuto."

"This man is an old monster who has survived from the Warring States Period before the First Hokage founded Konoha. I don't know what secret technique he uses to continue his life. His body looks as energetic as a young man." Asuma recalled about this man. The more information you receive, the more cold sweat you get on your body.

"This man is said to have fought against the First Hokage and escaped unharmed after failing to assassinate the First Hokage."

This old monster is definitely close to or even reaching the level of the Five Great Ninja Village Shadows.Ordinary ninjas are invincible when they meet.

Asuma made up his mind not to confront Kakuzu head-on, but Kakuzu would not give him a chance to escape.

Just when Asuma stopped to rest and think, Kakuzu had quietly touched him.

"Water Release·Water Curtain!" A large number of black threads surged out from behind his body, condensing into a masked monster. It opened its mouth and spat out powerful water cannons with violent impact at Asma.

Asuma was instantly alert and jumped up suddenly, dodging the menacing water cannonball.

The water cannon hit the big tree behind him, causing wood chips to fly.

"Tsk." Asuma frowned and glanced at his arm.

The ninja vest on his arm was torn open, and blood was flowing from a bloody mouth.The water cannon just now seemed to have average destructive power, but in fact its power was quite concentrated.

When the water bomb grazed the outside of his arm, it was still a palm away from his arm, but the air flow it brought was able to cut open his clothes and flesh.

"It seems we can't escape." Asuma adjusted his mind quickly. He took out two short knives from the ninja leg bag and clasped them in his hands.These two short knives are a bit like finger tigers, made of chakra metal.

The chakra flowing in Asuma's body transformed into the form of wind escape chakra, which poured into the chakra finger tiger daggers through his arms. Invisible wind blades more than a foot long extended silently from the two daggers.

Most of Asuma's skills are in the close combat technique of the wind blade dagger. His fighting style is very similar to Danzo's when he was young. They mainly use wind release ninjutsu to strengthen close combat, combined with medium and long-range ninjutsu bombing and suppression.

Judging from the fact that the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was busy with Konoha affairs when Asma was young, Asma's ninjutsu and fighting methods were probably taught to him by Danzo.

Kakuzu is not a person who likes nonsense. When he saw Asuma getting into a fighting stance, he did not hesitate at the moment. He formed a seal with his hands, and dense black threads poured out from behind him, turning into four masked monsters around him. .

Three of the four monsters opened their mouths and spit out ninjutsu at the same time.

In an instant, thunder exploded and sea of ​​fire rolled.The wind was blowing hard.

More black threads surged out from Kakuzu's body, overwhelmingly rushing toward Sarutobi Asuma.

At the same time, a whirlpool emerged in the dark corner, and Uchiha Obito walked out of it, watching the jounin battle that broke out in the wild from a distance.

"Not very good, Sarutobi Hiruzen's second son." Uchiha Obito said coldly.

Strictly speaking, he and Sarutobi Asuma were of the same generation, close in age.But he had almost no interaction with Sarutobi Asuma at that time, and his only interpersonal circle was the team under Namikaze Minato.

"He's going to die, probably." A Fei also said, "That Kakuzu can kill Kage. Asuma is no match for him."

Obito crossed his arms and said nothing, just waiting quietly for the end of the battle.

……

Time passed slowly, and a few days passed in the blink of an eye.

After Danzo took over, Konoha didn't change much from before.Except for the upper-level ninjas who felt the oppression from the careerists, the lower-level ninjas and Konoha civilians did not feel any different from before.

The sadness caused by the assassination of the Third Hokage was also consumed by the tiring tasks and fatigue, and Konoha Village returned to its former busy and prosperous state.

It was still a quiet and peaceful day in Konoha.

As dusk approached, the ninjas returned from their missions and gathered in groups to drink and chat.

"It's a bit strange recently. The spies sent by other villages around the village have almost disappeared for some reason." A chuunin drank sake and said to his companions.

"That's true." A chuunin beside him also said, "When I patrol the border of the village, I always encounter people sneaking in, but I don't seem to encounter them much recently."

"Strange. But it's also a good thing." Another chuunin laughed, "At least the mission of patrolling the border is not so dangerous."

While a few people were chatting, a ninja stumbled into the tavern and sat down next to them.

"Why are you late? I'm fined with alcohol." Other ninjas booed.

The belated ninja filled a bowl of wine for himself without saying a word. After drinking it all, he stared blankly and said: "Asuma Jonin, he's dead!"

"Huh?" The Chuunin who originally wanted to make more noises were quiet for a moment.

"You just said...who died?" someone asked hesitantly.

"Jounin Sarutobi Asuma! The second son of the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen!" The late ninja spoke again thanks to the drunkenness of the bowl of wine just now, "I saw someone carrying his head at the underground gold exchange today. Receive the reward!"

As soon as he said these words, all the ninjas present were in an uproar.

The Sandaime family, his wife Sarutobi Biwako died on the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, he himself died in an assassination by Uchiha Itachi in collusion with a mercenary organization, and his eldest son and grandson's family were all killed on the night before his burial.

Now his second son Sarutobi Asuma also died at the hands of a bounty hunter, and his head was carried away for cash.

"This is a dead family..." In an instant, a frightening thought appeared in the hearts of the Chuunin present.

In addition to Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sarutobi clan also has some other ninjas who are proficient in fire escape and are active in various organizations in Konoha.But the direct line of Sarutobi Hiruzen was completely severed!

In the Hokage's office, several [root] ninjas stood in front of Danzo.

"Peng!" Danzo slapped the desk hard, causing the documents on the desk to fall like snowflakes.

"What's going on?" His falcon-like eyes scanned the people present, "Why did Sarutobi Asuma die on the way to the Fire Country's Daimyo Mansion, and his head was carried to collect the bounty?!"

"According to our investigation... it's because the bounty for Asuma Jōnin in the underground money exchange suddenly skyrocketed, attracting powerful bounty hunters to take action." The ninja from the [Root] Department reported carefully.

"Of course I know this. What I want to know most is why his bounty suddenly increased so much!" Danzo stared, feeling an anger in his heart that could not be released.
