Chapter 328: trap
Swish, swish, swish.
Three figures formed a triangular formation and advanced at an extremely fast speed. They arrived at the border of Taki Ninja Village in less than two days.
They are a newly formed ninja team in Konoha Village. Their members are a classic combination of two men and one woman.
They are a jounin, a chunin, and a genin.
Judging from the apparent configuration, this team does not seem to be very strong, especially since the average age of the team members is only twelve years old, which is the common age for genin to graduate.
But in fact, even the elite team of Konoha ANBU is no match for these three brats.
Because, the names of the three people are Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Marisa, and Uzumaki Naruto.
The number one genius in Konoha, the daughter of the Sixth Hokage, and the former leader of the Akatsuki organization, this is a description that is more in line with the strength of the three people.
After two consecutive days of traveling and running thousands of miles.
In a forest clearing.
Sasuke and the other three stopped temporarily to rest on the spot, replenish food and water, and restore their physical strength.
唰.
Marissa took out a scroll that recorded the contents of this commission, and she read it out:
“Well, let me see…
The cause of this incident was that a rebellious ninja named Shisha from Taki Ninja Village led a group of subordinates back to the village and assassinated the village leader Shibaki, hoping to steal the Heroic Water.
Although Fu led the villagers to fight back, they still couldn\'t drive away the opponent, and the situation became worse and worse, so she sent a request to Konoha for help.
By the way, what is this heroic water? "
Marissa scratched her head and looked at Mingzuo and Mingzuo in confusion, wondering if they had any relevant information.
“I’ve heard Fu say it before.”
Naruto looked serious and took Marissa\'s words, "It is said that there is a sacred tree that has grown for thousands of years in Taki Ninja Village. It is hundreds of meters high, and its branches and leaves cover the sky. Every hundred years, the inside of the sacred tree will A kind of sacred water flows out, and the chakra of the person who drinks it will instantly increase tenfold, so it is called the hero\'s water by the villagers."
“Really? I want to drink!”
Marissa’s eyes widened and she spoke her mind directly on the spot, not hiding her desire for the Heroic Water. After all, she also dreamed of defeating her father.
However, Sasuke immediately poured a basin of cold water on his cousin\'s head.
"Marissa, you may be disappointed." Sasuke\'s tone was calm, and his expression was even more unperturbed.
“Why?” Marissa asked, and Naruto also cast a questioning look at Sasuke.
Sasuke glanced at the two of them and said calmly:
"You should all know about the Otsutsuki clan, right? They came to Earth thousands of years ago and planted a sacred tree here, hoping to use it to absorb the natural energy of the planet. The so-called sacred tree is actually the Ten-Tails. It’s now integrated with the Sixth Hokage.”
Regarding the past events of the Otsutsuki clan, Dan did not deliberately hide it. Instead, after the Chuunin exams ended not long ago, he told the senior officials of the major ninja villages, the Uchiha clan and Konoha to prepare them.
Powerful enemies from the distant universe may come to the ninja world at any time and destroy the planet.
If this kind of thing is said from other people\'s mouth, people will just think that he is crazy and full of nonsense.
But if it comes from the mouth of the Sixth Hokage Uchiha Dan, the meaning is completely different.
Today.
Both the major ninja villages, as well as the Konoha and Uchiha clans, have taken precautions and secretly begun preparations for war.
I have absolutely no interest in being the savior of the ninja world.
It would be great if someone else could defeat the Otsutsuki clan from the universe without him having to take action.
Naruto and Marisa were both stunned when they heard Sasuke\'s words.
“Could it be said that the sacred tree in Taki Ninja Village is somehow related to the sacred tree planted by the Otsutsuki clan?”
Naruto was the first to react and guessed.
“I didn’t expect you to be quite smart.”
Sasuke nodded and said in a deep voice, "According to the information I have, the so-called sacred tree in Taki Ninja Village was most likely once part of the sacred tree itself, such as a trunk.
As for the so-called heroic water, it is just natural energy refined by the sacred tree, and it is not very magical.
It may be able to increase the chakra of ordinary ninjas tenfold, but for the strong, the improvement may be quite limited. "
“That’s it, it makes sense.”
Naruto suddenly understood and agreed.
If nothing else, if the Hero\'s Water can really increase a person\'s chakra tenfold, wouldn\'t the amount of chakra after a person like him drink it exceed that of the Kyuubi?
So Naruto also believed that the people in Taki Ninja Village were probably not very knowledgeable about the effectiveness of the Hero\'s Water, so they exaggerated.
“Damn it, you made me happy in vain.”
Marissa\'s face dropped and she sat back on the ground slumped.
However, as soon as she sat down, Sasuke called out again: "It\'s almost time to rest. Let\'s move on. Taki Ninja Village is still waiting for our rescue."
So.
The three of them set off again and entered the territory of Taki Ninja Village.
The geographical location of Taki Ninja Village in the ninja world is the same as that of some other small ninja villages. It is also caught between big countries such as the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, and it is trying to survive in the cracks.
Logically speaking, such ninja villages will inevitably become a chessboard for battles between great powers, such as Yunin Village, Tangnin Village, etc.
But Taki Ninja Village is an exception.
This is due to the complex terrain in Takinin.
Here, there are rolling hills and waterfalls of different sizes all over the place, forming natural barriers to block out the countries that covet Taki Ninja Village.
Taki Ninja Village, which had no foreign enemies, also developed very well. It was the only village besides the five major ninja villages that had tailed beasts.
And the seven tails owned by Taki Ninja are not that kind of ordinary tailed beasts. Its power is among the nine tailed beasts, second only to the nine tails and eight tails.
It even had a tendency to become the sixth largest ninja village.
Hence, all the major ninja villages have been scrambling to win over Taki-nin and want to establish a good relationship with him, and Taki-nin also took this opportunity to make ends meet and live a good life.
pity.
There are no external troubles, but there are internal worries.
The long-term comfortable life, coupled with the compliments from the major ninja villages, made Taki ninja\'s senior management feel dispirited, and his ambitions in his mind also expanded rapidly.
In order to realize their dream of dominating the ninja world, they actually sent their own elite ninja Kakuto to Konoha to assassinate the then first Hokage Senju Hashirama.
The result was naturally a failure.
Although Kakuzu was lucky enough to escape with his life and escape back to Takinin, he was imprisoned by the senior officials and he was severely punished.
What happened next is known to the entire ninja world.
Kakuzu successfully escaped from prison, killed all the senior officials of Taki Ninja, and took away the village\'s treasure - the secret technique of earth resentment and Yu.
If you seek death, you will die.
Since then, Taki Ninja Village has been in a state of decline and gradually withdrew from the stage of the ninja world.
“This is it.”
Sasuke and the other three walked through a dense forest and followed the sound of rumbling water until they found a huge waterfall that was a hundred meters high.
The water flowed down, the sound of the water was like thunder.
Taki Ninja Village is hidden behind this waterfall.
The smell of blood.
The three of them looked at each other, walked forward seven or eight meters, and opened a bush. Sure enough, they found the corpses of several Taki nins inside. Their death conditions were very miserable.
It seems that the situation here is worse than they imagined.
“I’ll lead the way.”
Naruto said something and strode towards the waterfall.
Due to the hidden location of Taki Ninja Village and the information provided by Fu, Akatsuki once established a hideout here, and Naruto also used the Rinnegan to control the village chief at the time.
So he is very familiar with this place.
So.
The group of three people followed the mountain road on the side of the waterfall and entered the cave behind the water curtain.
Da da da.
Going to the end of the cave, a bottomless pool appeared in front of the three of them.
Plop!
The three of them jumped in one after another, dived down to the deepest point, and then resurfaced along an underwater channel.
Crash. When Sasuke and the other three emerged from the water again, they had already arrived at Taki Ninja Village.
Not far away, the hundred-meter-high sacred tree on the island in the middle of the lake was burning. Countless burnt branches fell into the water, and fire and smoke rose into the sky.
On the shore, most of the houses in Takinin Village were destroyed and burned, turning into ruins.
"kill!"
On the ruins, two teams of ninjas were fighting fiercely. Shurikens, kunai, and detonating charms were flying around. The flames of the explosion were mixed with splattering blood, which was very tragic.
“I say it for the last time, hand over the Hero’s Water, otherwise I will kill everyone here!”
The rebellious nin named Shisha, with a violent expression and fierce eyes, issued an ultimatum to the Taki-nin villagers.
Opposite her, Fu, who was covered in scars, was panting, but responded with determination:
"Hisha, do you think I don\'t know? Even if we hand over the Hero\'s Water, you will still silence us. Therefore, Taki-nin will fight to the last man, and you will never get the Hero\'s Water!"
Compared to a monster like Naruto, Fu\'s strength has dropped significantly after losing her tailed beast.
Facing this gang of desperadoes headed by hookah, she led the Taki villagers to resist hard, but after these days, they gradually reached the end of their strength.
The only hope now is to pray that Konoha\'s reinforcements arrive as soon as possible.
at this time.
咻.
With a burst of sound piercing the air, the Tiancong Yun Sword flew from a distance at lightning speed and penetrated an enemy\'s body on the spot.
Kusanagi Sword·Kusanagi sword.
This is a move that Orochimaru reluctantly taught Sasuke when he faced Sasuke\'s "ask for advice".
“Someone from Konoha is coming, we are saved!”
Fuxun looked out and saw Sasuke and the three people walking across the water at a glance. She couldn\'t help but look up and shouted in surprise.
In comparison, the shisha, which was so arrogant just now, suddenly seemed to have withered, and its face turned earth-colored.
Even though Konoha sent three brats, their reputations in the ninja world are not small at all, and almost everyone does not know them.
So Shisha knew he had no chance of winning.
“Hold them off!”
He shouted to his men, turned around and ran away.
“Can you escape?”
Sasuke and the three of them swarmed up and defeated this group of enemies in three strikes, five and two additions, and then caught up with the hookah.
suddenly.
“Sir, save me!”
Hisha raised his head in desperation and shouted to the sky in a panic.
The words just fell.
Swish, swish, swish.
Dozens of figures appeared from all directions, forming a circular encirclement, surrounding Sasuke and the three of them.
These people are wearing thick clothes, turbans and masks, with moon symbols tattooed on their foreheads, and they look very mysterious.
“We’ve fallen into a trap, the hookah is just a bait, be careful!”
Sasuke\'s expression changed and he reminded Naruto and Marisa.
The three of them stood back to back and formed a defensive formation to meet this new group of enemies that suddenly appeared.
"These guys...I remember, they were the ones who kidnapped Hanabi! They are puppets sent by Otsutsuki Toneri!"
Marissa shouted excitedly after seeing the enemy\'s appearance clearly.
Sure enough.
"Capture these three Konoha ninjas and sacrifice them to Toneri-sama."
The puppet leader\'s mouth remained motionless, and a mechanical cold sound came from nowhere.
As soon as it finished speaking, a group of puppets launched a siege on Sasuke and the other three.
“Fu, take the villagers and escape from here quickly. You can’t interfere in the next battle!”
Naruto saw Fu and the Taki ninja villagers wanting to come up to help, so he immediately yelled at them.
…Okay, be careful!”
Fu gritted his teeth, took the villagers and fled out of the village.
The battle on the shore gradually intensified.
Otsutsuki Toneri\'s puppet subordinates are all equipped with mechanisms, and have self-awareness, and can fight as flexibly as a ninja.
More difficult to deal with than the human puppets of Sunagakure Village.
When ordinary people encounter these puppets, they have absolutely no power to fight back and can only let them slaughter them.
But Sasuke and the other three are not ordinary people.
“Zizzizi!”
“Chi chi chi!”
The sound of Chidori chirping was mixed with the sound of Rasengan spinning at high speed. Along with the dazzling light, both Sasuke and Naruto launched their powerful attacks.
click.
One puppet after another was beaten to pieces by two people one after another.
"the seventh."
After Sasuke penetrated the chest of a puppet with a Chidori, he coldly said a number.
However, he just finished speaking.
"The eighth."
Naruto also used a Rasengan to blow the head of a puppet, and showed an innocent smile to Sasuke.
"snort."
Sasuke snorted coldly and started to compete with Naruto again. He rushed towards the remaining puppets first.
Unfortunately, Marissa is faster than him.
"Go to hell, Ola Ola Ola Ola!"
Marissa was like a mad gorilla, roaring and rushing into the middle of a group of puppets, hitting them with a heavy rain of iron fists.
Bang, bang, bang!
The remaining puppets had no time to resist, so they were blown up by her on the spot, turning into scraps of metal all over the ground.
At this point, all the puppets have been eliminated by three people.
But the faces of Sasuke and the other three were not much relaxed, but instead became more solemn.
Because they know that the real battle has just begun.
“Otsutsuki Toneri, you hidden, despicable guy, get out of here!”
Marissa looked around and shouted murderously.
Hinata Hanabi is a good sister she met in Ninja School.
Otsutsuki Toneri kidnapped Hanabi and gouged out her eyes. Marisa will never forgive the cruel crime he committed against Hanabi.
She wants revenge for Hanabi.
“Hehehe, you ignorant brat.”
A joking laughter came from the heads of the three of them.
Um?
Marissa suddenly looked up, and looked up suddenly. She saw a very delicate-looking young man wearing a white robe, fair skin, and long blue-white hair, floating in the air.
What is strange is that under his slender eyebrows, his eyes are tightly closed.
Under the gazes of Sasuke and the others, Otsutsuki Toneri slowly landed on the ground.
"Look at me directly, you bastard! Why don\'t you dare to open your eyes? Are you too embarrassed to see people?"
Marissa was furious.
"as you wish."
Seren smiled slightly, his eyes slowly opened, and a burst of blue and dazzling light burst out from his pupils...
