The Thousand Faces of Konoha's Weird Man

8 Yamashiro Aoba

"Finally it's not possible anymore?" Panting, Matsumoto manipulated the flat spider to stand in front of him. The thrilling attack and defense just now almost killed him. The neat appearance of the flat spider no longer exists. The scattered parts are scattered on the battlefield. Only five of the eight claws are left. The damaged shell can already see the internal structure clearly, and now it can only barely move. That’s all. What's even worse is that for Matsumoto's men, there are many horizontal walls lying on the battlefield. Most of them have lost some parts. Of course, when they lose parts, they also lose their lives.

And their opponent only has one person, and the current Uoyue Xiyan is not much better than this group of people. The result of killing the killer is that his physical strength is greatly reduced. Now let alone using the secret sword, it is difficult to even stand.

Pulling the broken puppet, Ping Spider walked towards Uoyuki Xiyan step by step, the only sharp blade raised high.

"quack quack"

"quack quack"

"quack quack"

The sword was a good one, and it could cut well, but what spewed out from Uoyue Xiyan's split body was not blood, but pitch-black crows.

"The Art of Three Thousand Crows" was wearing green sunglasses and a Konoha vest. At some point, there was someone behind Matsumoto. Yamashiro Aoba, who had a calm expression on his face, pushed up his sunglasses and looked slightly pleased, "I caught up, everything is as planned."

"when"

"Of course there is no room for carelessness in illusions." With a whimper, the kunai tied with a black string penetrated into Matsumoto's body. There was also a kunai tied to the other end of the black string, which was held in the hand of Yamashiro Ao. In Ye's hand, "The secret stone needle, now everyone can talk properly."

"Mountain City Aoba" After the crows dispersed, Uzuki Xiyan's figure appeared a little further away. She was saved after waiting for death. It took her a long time to digest the massive information, "Why are you here?"

Yamashiro Aoba gestured with his eyes to the Hyakki ninja who was about to move, sighed slightly and then slowly said: "I have no choice, not to mention not only me, but also the same people as me are here."

Leaving Konoha at this time is undoubtedly a reckless move. Who knows how many dangerous things are waiting for him outside the village?

Yamashiro Aoba has a weak character. If he wasn't talented, it would be difficult for him to become an outstanding ninja. But the world is so unfair, and many talents appear in the wrong people. Of course, despite some flaws in his character, Yamashiro Aoba still understands his responsibilities and can always stand up when Konoha needs it.

"Nazuzu Raido" was a ninja of the same period. How could Uzuki Yugao not know him? More importantly, the relationship between Nazuzu Raido and Shiranui Gen, including the three of them, Tie Iwashi, were all close friends. , she immediately knew the ins and outs of this matter, "Did Shiranui Genma inform him?"

"Otherwise you take it for granted that the ANBU has also received your information." Yamashiro Aoba glanced at Uzuki Xiyan with a somewhat thoughtful look. This sentence is very important. At least the ANBU did not do anything. It was just that Konoha dispatched them based on the overall situation. Several people are coming.

"So that's it." Uzuki Xiyan stood up with difficulty using his sword as a crutch. While bandaging his wound, he stuffed a soldier's grain pill into his hand, "Then the last question, what is Konoha's intention?"

"After rescuing you, we will shrink our defenses. We need a new Hokage."

"Huh" In the final analysis, Uoyuki Xiyan is still a conservative, otherwise she would not be worried about Moonlight Hayate's mission of taking the initiative. The character is also strong on the outside and soft on the inside. Otherwise, he would not be able to lift the knife after a killing spree. This is a typical psychological defect, the kind that is not strong enough on the inside. Shrinking defense is a good result for her, or for her ideal state of Konoha. At least she doesn't have to continue to lick blood with the blade at this time, but what makes her a little worried is the choice of Hokage. If If a cruel guy takes over, it may be worse than the current situation. "Have the elders already chosen someone?"

Pushing up his glasses, Yamashiro Aoba even wanted to laugh: "Do you think this kind of thing is something we should consider?"

Raising his hand to organize Uzuki Yugao's possible speech, Yamashiro Aoba continued: "We have split up to support you. Now can you explain the reason why you left Konoha?"

"We are looking for someone." After a pause, Uzuki Xiyan thought about a suitable statement, "An ANBU who is related to Moonlight Hayate's mission."

"ANBU" Yamashiro Aoba decisively chose to shut up, just like Shiranui Genma, he understood the meaning of these two words, "Then it seems he is not here anymore."

"Of course not, but this puppet master is a character. We may be able to get useful information from him." His eyes flashed under his sunglasses. Yamashiro Aoba was quite interested in Uazuki Xiyan's proposal.

"This guy is"

"Looks like the leader of this group of rebellious ninjas. I remember you were spying on me."

"Although he is not very skilled, there is still a way to read his head." There may be many people in Konoha who can read other people's thoughts, but there are not many who have the ability to fight head-on. Yamashiro Aoba is also gifted. Excellent job in every aspect. Especially for things like mind reading, it really doesn't take just hard work to figure it out.

Matsumoto was not far away from them, and the conversation between the two was clearly heard. Any individual would feel uncomfortable if their brains were studied. So the violent vibration from the kunai in his hand reminded Yamashiro Aoba that his prey was struggling violently.

Firmly clenching the kunai in his hand, Yamashiro Aoba increased the output of chakra. The puppet master was not good at chakra. After a hard battle, his energy was exhausted. He was no match for Yamashiro Aoba: "Be honest, it's not easy to break free from the control of my secret technique."

Yamashiro Aoba's technique is somewhat similar to the shadow imitation technique, but it is slightly less flexible and requires the assistance of props. However, the restrictions on the caster are looser and they can perform other actions while controlling the opponent. There is no need to be like Shikamaru, who must try his best to use terrain and other things to defeat his opponent when fighting alone. Of course, the growth of the shadow imitation technique is definitely higher than that of Yamashiro Aoba. In the later stage, the shadow can be used as a hand.

"But when I use this technique, I need your help." Yamashiro Aoba pursed his lips. His so-called help should be to get rid of these rebellious ninjas. Although he has controlled Matsumoto now, he wants to take his hand out again. Solving these troubles is a bit unrealistic, and it is worth bothering Uoyuki Xiyan. ANBU are very adaptable, and as long as they are given some rest time, they can regain some combat effectiveness.

Of course the same was true for Mao Yue Xiyan, but just when she was about to take action, a sudden change occurred.

The flat spider that had fallen into silence the moment Yamashiro Aoba took action suddenly started to move. After a clicking sound, the entire puppet disintegrated. Smoke billowed from inside the body, and the ejected parts exploded one after another.

For a moment, it was impossible to see anything on the battlefield. Yamashiro Aoba immediately chose to retreat after throwing a few kunai.

Due to his personality, Yamashiro Aoba always considers his own safety when thinking about tactics. It is a right choice for a support-oriented ninja. If he was a similar type of assaulter, he would have retreated instead of being covered by Kunai just now. He would have taken shelter and even hugged Matsumoto.

Uazuki Xiyan wanted to pursue him, but her physical condition did not allow it, so she had no choice but to go back to back with Yamashiro Aoba and pick up the Ninja Sword for full defense. The life that has been saved with great difficulty cannot be taken anymore.

However, their opponents were not much better.

After yelling "Retreat" with hatred, Hyakuki, a very strong rebel ninja organization, ran away from the horse bandits. Under the leadership of the leader, they retreated away from the crowd.

Three Cunning Rabbits, Matsumoto is actually a rebellious ninja active in many countries, and he goes to great lengths to save his own life. Even the situation of being controlled has been thought out. There is a timing device inside his puppet. As long as the seal is released, the puppet will self-destruct within a period of time if it loses control. On the one hand, it protects Matsumoto's puppet-making skills, and on the other hand, it also gives him a back-up when he is controlled. Chaos is always a good mentor for escape. No, this technology is used now. This is not the first time that Matsumoto has been in a desperate situation, but he can always escape. This time, Hyakki can be considered a big failure, but it was also a Hyakki, and for Matsumoto personally, he still made money. At least the resources left by Hyakki are enough for him to recruit a new group of ninjas above the level. If he takes the elite route, he may be more influential than the current Hyakki. The only regret is that Silver has not received any contact from him for so long. The worst plan has appeared in Matsumoto's mind, that is, Silver may have died in the chaotic Sound Ninja Village. Who did it? It doesn't matter anymore. After all, there are only eternal interests and no permanent friends. If Hattori hires him next time, Matsumoto will still take it as long as the price is right.

"But this loss cannot be in vain. If you have the chance, you should go to Kyoto and make a big deal. Now retreat to the Kingdom of Wind. There is also the secret base of the Hundred Demons there. Now it is the land of Fire and the Kingdom of Wind. During the country's war, there is no need to worry about not having a commission. If Yura is still reliable, I can even cooperate with the Suna Ninja Village to snipe the troops of the Country of Fire. It will be regarded as avenging today's small countries and small ninjas in the surrounding countries. The village will definitely be forced to take sides, and this is a good time for the Hundred Ghosts to grow stronger."

Those who take one step at a time cannot go far, but those who take three steps at a time can avoid obstacles.

The moment he escaped, Matsumoto figured out what he should do next.

"Retreat to the Kingdom of Wind, you and I will inform Kansuke-sama of the specific turn location. If anything happens to Kansuke, we must confirm his life or death." After clicking on two minions, Matsumoto has already started running away mode.

"Damn it, let this guy run away"

Facing Yamashiro Aoba's hindsight, Uzuki Xiyan was a little helpless to complain. This was already a predictable ending, but it was better than dead.

"It doesn't matter, this is just a small role. The real big fish should be over there." Where the big fish is is of course Moonlight Blast. Hattori, Matsumoto, and Kansuke's performances have already been watched by Uzuki Yugan, and it's obvious who is the boss. Although she did not know the relationship between Hyakki and the Hattori family, it did not prevent her from making correct judgments.

"Bing Zu Lei and others should have rushed over as well."

A group of people who had a very tacit understanding ran towards the border of the Fire Country, where a confrontation was taking place.

As expected, Moonlight Hayate made the same choice as Uozuki Yugao and threatened Hattori Masashige with a knife.

Because after his inspection, he never found Zoji's figure.

Moonlight Hayate does not have God's Vision. It is not clear whether there is Saki in the other team. He does not dare to bet. After all, there are too many paths that Saki can take.

He may be Konoha's secret chess, or he may have defected because of Danzo's defeat. It is more likely that he has been bewitched by Orochimaru and betrayed Konoha for power. Although it is an established fact that the Fire Nation has sent troops to the Sound Ninja Village, whether Saki will follow or not still requires his own judgment. To put it bluntly, there are many ways out for a capable ninja, and they may not necessarily hang themselves on a tree. .

It's understandable for Moonlight Hayate to think so. After all, Sakichi's two main supporters have fallen, Danzo is under house arrest, and the third generation with whom he has a verbal agreement cannot wake up temporarily. He may even temporarily lose his life when he returns to Konoha. Freedom, after all, he was too close to Danzo. If his guess was correct, the reason why the tracking failed that night was also because he was tracking his younger brother. He knew him too well, so he was able to get rid of his little brother. Strange psychic beasts are also a problem. Although he reported it to Anbu Sarutobi and Wakayama, the matter seemed to have sunk into the sea. Everything that happened until today was shrouded in a mist, making it difficult for Moonlight Hayate to understand. . If Saki's meeting with Suna Ninja or Orochimaru's people was discovered by others, Moonlight Hayate estimates that he would even have to spend his youth in prison.

But for a qualified brother, he will do everything possible to restore Sakichi's innocence. Even if Sakichi does something detrimental to Konoha, Moonlight Hayate hopes that he is the one who caught him, and that he can live peacefully in the cell. The rest of my life will be a hundred times better than living in fear and being a rebellious person.

Moonlight Hayate, who was standing with a sword, had the chuunin Arashi on his back. The two were surrounded by the ninja army. Hattori Masashige's hand was slightly injured, but his condition was still passable.

That means someone's plan failed.
