Naruto: The Strongest Sage.

A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, followed by more than a dozen kunai and shurikens of various shapes.

Qingye suddenly accelerated his pace and avoided the attack from behind, but three Kusanagi had already passed him and formed a pincer attack with another team.

"Ninja from Konoha? Why are you kidnapping our people? Do you want to start a war?"

Hearing the other party's questioning, Qingye always felt absurd. How should I put it? There is a very obvious meaning in the words of the grass ninja, that is, if you don't let them go, we will start a war.

But in fact, those who understand will understand. Five Kusagakure are not enough to defeat Konoha. Even if Konoha is now at its weakest period in history, it is definitely not something that a Kusagakure can shake.

Therefore, anyone with a brain would know that even if Aoba really kidnapped their people, the Kusanagi would never dare to start a war. At most, they would send an envoy to Konoha to complain.

In fact, the Kusanagi are very good at diplomacy. The reason why they were able to form an alliance with Konoha was also due to their excellent diplomatic skills. In simple terms, they are good at licking.

"War? You don't deserve it. To be honest, I actually have a very legitimate and irrefutable reason to take them both away.

But, facing you bastards, I don't even bother to explain. Anyway, as long as everyone who sees me dies, there will be no problem. So, are you ready to die?"

Having said this, Aoba gently put Karin on the ground, untied the rope on her back, and put Karin's mother down as well.

"Karin, take good care of your mother. It will be over soon."

"it is good."

"So good." Aoba gently rubbed Karin's hair, then stood up and drew the Kusanagi sword from his back.

This time, he did not use the detonating trap from before.

One is that this trick has been used before, and the opponent has long been alert. Another is that there should be a special perception ninja in the opponent's team. This crude trap is difficult to deceive the opponent.

Seeing Aoba draw his sword, several Grass Ninjas seemed to realize something.

"It's you, Konoha's Wind Chaser, Kamikawa Aoba."

"Haha, even trash like you have heard of my reputation as a good-for-nothing. That's such a pity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Aoba disappeared in front of several Kusanagi ninjas.

Although he mocked, in actual combat, Qingye never underestimated any opponent. Therefore, he used all his strength when he attacked. The instant body movement technique combined with the wind escape accelerated the opponent's cognition.

The next second, one of the three people in front of him had his head shot up into the sky. However, the other two were still quite capable and actually reacted and avoided the subsequent air-cutting flash.

But that was all. The two quickly retreated, forming seals with their hands, trying to perform some kind of ninjutsu.

But before the hand seal was completed, Aoba had already appeared in front of one of them, and swept the Kusanagi sword across, directly cutting the other person's throat.

"Wind Style, major breakthrough." Another Grass Ninja finally completed his own ninjutsu.

But Qingye didn't even look at it, and rushed directly towards the ninjutsu. At the same time, a tornado created by chakra surrounded his body. At the moment of collision with the big breakthrough, the two wind ninjutsu were instantly offset.

A turbulent airflow was generated and spread out. In the other party's incredible eyes, Qingye passed through the turbulence and appeared in front of him.

Wind escape is Qingye's best ninjutsu. Unlike the ninjas in these small ninja villages, who are obsessed with all kinds of powerful ninjutsu.

From the beginning, he focused on the wind escape technique itself. After refining the wind escape technique to a certain degree, his operation of conventional wind escape technique has reached the level of wind-related supernatural powers in the movies.

With a thought, he could perform various relatively simple wind-style ninjutsu. The power was not great, but its practicality far exceeded those powerful ninjutsu that required seals. After all, ninjas were highly agile assassins. Ninjutsu was only auxiliary, and he could use swordsmanship to supplement the final damage. At least at this time, this tactic was still extremely sharp.

After the second ninja died, the other team of ninjas finally reacted and started to attack. And their tactics were very clear. They had no intention of confronting Aoba head-on, but rushed directly towards Karin and her daughter.

Aoba changed direction at high speed and rushed towards Karin and her daughter.

But visually, it was too late. Another group of Kusanagi was even closer. They were already approaching the two.

Aoba threw two kunai from his left hand, but his aim was not good enough. The Kusanagi easily avoided them and stuck them into the two trees in front of Karin and her daughter.

Success. The Kusanagi shouted in his heart. He had seen how powerful the Konoha ninja in front of him was. But he also had weaknesses. The other party was very worried about the mother and daughter.

As long as he could capture this mother and daughter, at least his life could be saved this time.

But at this moment, the teammates behind him suddenly shouted.

"careful!"

Be careful? Be careful about what? The Konoha ninja was still some distance away, and the kunai didn't hit me at all.

The Kusanagi was moving at high speed and was unable to stop, rushing to the side of Karin and her daughter. He stretched out his hand to grab Karin's mother who was blocking her daughter.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Why did his perspective feel a little uncomfortable, and he suddenly looked up at the sky uncontrollably?

No, it's not out of control, it's my head... that fell off!!!

He tried hard to look back, but he couldn't. Instead, his head fell to the ground and rolled, allowing him to see the culprit of all this.

The tails of the two kunai were actually connected by a very thin steel wire. Just when I thought the opponent had missed the target, the kunai had already set up a simple trap between two large trees.

Even a child in a ninja school could see through this level of trap. But just now, he tried desperately to defeat the Konoha ninja and catch the mother and daughter first.

The other party took advantage of this anxious mentality and set a trap that couldn't be simpler, directly taking his life.

The Kusagakure ninja in the front died. The Kusagakure ninja behind him barely avoided it, but one of his hands was injured. Only the Kusagakure ninja at the end, who seemed to be a sensing ninja, actually avoided the trap.

This wave of operations by Aoba is enough to be included in the traditional ninja tactical textbook. In just a short moment, he took advantage of the enemy's desire to win and instantly turned the situation around.

This brief delay gave him enough time to return to defense. By the time the two surviving grass ninjas reorganized their formation, he had already successfully returned to defense.

In an instant, the offense and defense changed.
