Konoha: Who is the good person?

Inside the Yamanaka residence.

“Tsuchida, that guy can really endure!”

Yamanaka Kei muttered, pulling off his ninja shoes, which were somewhat damaged and deformed from the forceful yanking.

After checking that there was nothing to incriminate him, he temporarily sealed them into a storage scroll.

He then found a pair of old ninja shoes in the shoe cabinet and put them on.

He clapped his hands together and cast the Ninja Art: Deodorizing Smoke Prison, completely eliminating all traces of his scent.

Earlier, after he had used Earth Release: Underground Submarine Voyage to遁into the ground.

Tsuchida's Earth Release: Earth Opening Rise Excavation began to turn over the surrounding soil on a large scale.

Originally, he had planned to leave directly with the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he never expected that the underground water main would be directly destroyed by Earth Opening Rise Excavation.

Fortunately, he used the combination of Water Transformation Technique and Water Release: Surfing Attack to escape far away by riding the main water pipe.

He also washed away all the dust and dirt that had stained his body.

Only then did he return home using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After cleaning up, Yamanaka Kei looked at the quickly lit warning lights in the Hidden Cloud Village from the windowsill, listening to the piercing alarm sounds in his ears.

Putting on a look as if facing a great enemy, he rushed into the room where Musai was.

“The alarm is ringing! Still not awake!”

After two awakening slaps, he grabbed the young boy's collar and ran downstairs.

“Dad! Dad! What's wrong! What's going on!”

Musai woke up from the genjutsu, as if he was still drowsy, and didn't know what had happened at all.

The piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire ninja village.

In many places, the sounds of ninjutsu collisions and fighting could be faintly heard.

This made the young boy, who had just become a ninja and had not yet experienced blood and fire, couldn't help but panic.

“Remember yesterday's assassination?”

Yamanaka Kei responded in a deep voice, joining the ninjas who had also woken up from their sleep, and together they rushed towards the 'request for help signal' rising in the air.

According to his previous plan.

The time when the battle at Tsuchida's residence ended was the time when the shadow clones began to execute the assassination plan.

Given the importance of Tsuchida to the Hidden Cloud Village and the Third Raikage, Ay.

As long as he fought with Tsuchida, the Raikage would definitely rush to Tsuchida's residence as soon as possible.

The remaining shadow clones could completely take advantage of this opportunity to launch surprise attacks on the predetermined assassination targets. Even if the commotion was a little louder, the Third Raikage probably wouldn't have time to take care of it.

And everything went as he had imagined. Even though the commotion was not small and alarmed many people.

But all eight shadow clones perfectly completed the mission requirements.

What puzzled him was.

This request for help signal didn't seem to be in the location of any of the people he had assassinated?

Hmm... Killer B seems to live around here?

And this fighting sound...

Could it be that he ran into an assassination plan from another ninja village!

Which unlucky kid is so unlucky? Look, isn't this running into the muzzle of a gun?

“Genin, retreat! Chunin, block off the surrounding streets! Jonin, compress the encirclement! Capture him alive!”

“Dare to come to my Hidden Cloud Village to carry out assassinations, we must destroy them!”

“Chunin, surround the surrounding streets, quickly, quickly, quickly!”

Amidst the noise mixed with chaotic commands, Yamanaka Kei threw Musai out and whispered.

“Stay away, none of those who dare to carry out assassinations are simple characters.”

“Dad, you too.”

Musai nodded repeatedly, panicking and retreating to the group of genin in the distance.

Yamanaka Kei turned his head and frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say exactly what the problem was.

The huge octopus tails danced wildly in the night, and the sound of thunder echoed incessantly.

A full ten minutes later.

The lightning in the center of the distant encirclement gradually dissipated.

From beginning to end, the so-called 'assassin' had failed to break through the blockade of the Hidden Cloud jonin.

“All jonin and Anbu, check each other's ninja shoes. Anyone with damaged shoes, shoes with mechanisms, or those who are not wearing shoes, stay behind. The others continue to check the chunin and genin.”

An order came from the center of the encirclement.

Yamanaka Kei raised his eyebrows and glanced thoughtfully at the ninja who issued the order.

Tsuchida is planning to recognize people by their shoes?

But it's too late, he already changed his shoes!

Moreover, the ninja shoes he was wearing before didn't have any mechanisms.

It was just that when he fought with Tsuchida, under the supersonic reaction brought by [Zero-Frame Startup], he saw that the other party was actually preparing to resist this kick, and he temporarily decided to activate Medical Water Release: Water Mantis, extending a small section of mantis blade from the tip of his shoe.

The usage of Medical Water Release: Water Mantis is somewhat similar to a chakra scalpel.

But because of the blessing of the [Water Release Master] entry, Yamanaka Kei used it more smoothly and conveniently.

Not to mention that there is no need to form hand seals, the speed of attack is also faster than the Rasengan.

With clear instructions issued.

All the ninjas present quickly took action.

Seven ninjas were left in place, and the remaining ninjas checked all the chunin and genin who arrived in turn.

Musai, who was directly pulled out of bed and didn't even have time to put on his shoes, unsurprisingly became one of those who were pulled out.

“Why aren't you wearing shoes.”

The Hidden Cloud jonin in charge of the inspection squinted his eyes, staring at Musai in front of him.

“I, I was asleep. My dad heard the alarm and rushed into my room, gave me two slaps, and ran away with me. I didn't have a chance to put them on...”

Musai pitifully showed the slap marks on his face.

Seriously, these two slaps hurt so much!

It's just that he was beaten since he was a child, and his skin is thick. At most, it will disappear tomorrow.

If someone else came, I'm afraid his face would be swollen like a pig's head on the spot.

“...Go stand over there.”

The Hidden Cloud jonin twitched the corner of his mouth, not wanting to comment on such a father-son relationship.

“My son! This is my son, this, this, this... Let me accompany him...”

Seeing this, Yamanaka Kei hurriedly went up to echo.

Accompanying Musai, he stood in a pile of 'suspects'.

Tonight's events really made him a little confused. He could just take this opportunity to stay and see what was going on.

Not long after, two medical ninjas came from the direction of Tsuchida's residence, carrying a stretcher.

Tsuchida, with a pale face, lay on the stretcher, his eyes closed, his hands forming hand seals, using his Bloodline Limit Lava Release to sense and control the surrounding rubber.

Earlier, when he was clasping the enemy's shoe surface, his own Lava Release Bloodline Limit ninjutsu was still running.

The ninja shoes worn by the other party were originally made of leather and rubber. The rubber part inevitably retained a large amount of his Lava Release chakra.

This chakra trace is extremely difficult to remove.

As long as the distance is not too far, he can use it to identify and lock the assassin.

It's just that after sensing for a long time, he helplessly shook his head at the Anbu captain next to him.

“Those who are not wearing shoes follow, jonin join the mission queue, the others disband.”

The Anbu captain nodded slightly and issued a new order to everyone again.

Yamanaka Kei accompanied Musai and followed Tsuchida's team.

In one round after another of screening, more than a dozen barefoot ninjas followed Tsuchida's stretcher and entered the central area of the battle just now.

Within a hundred meters of the battle area.

Large areas of houses collapsed, and wails and groans were endless.

Medical ninjas were busy, quickly treating the injured one by one.

In the central area of the battle, inside a large pit more than fifty meters in diameter, several medical ninjas were surrounding a burly ninja wearing a white turban and sunglasses, applying treatment.

The Third Raikage, Ay, and his son, as well as several Hidden Cloud high-level officials, also surrounded the person with solemn expressions.

Killer B?

Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?

The other party's assassination target is Killer B?

No... Which big brother is so fierce!
