"Illusions don't work either? What a hassle!" Guan Liyuan threw the corpse of a Hyuga clan ninja aside in annoyance.
[It seems that this curse seal can sense the reaction of chakra backflow. If you are caught in an illusion for a certain period of time, you will be killed by the curse seal and your Byakugan will be destroyed!] Illusion expert Chongming speculated.
Before, Guan Liyuan followed the direction of the two Hyuga clan ninjas and chased them for a distance. He immediately found that there were indeed two bright and one dark Hyuga clan ninjas coming to check. And judging from the amount of chakra, they all reached the level of Jonin!
However, whether it was the ninjas observing secretly from behind or the two in the open, they were all discovered by Guan Liyuan, and before the other party noticed him, he used phosphorus escape to lead them into the illusion...
Chongming's special chakra is a combination of wind escape and yin escape, which can form chakra with mental paralysis. It is both an illusion and a poison technique, similar to Butterfree's several phosphorus powder attacks.
However, the ninja of the Hyuga clan who was under the illusion also died suddenly with bloodshot eyes after Guan Liyuan asked a few questions!
Even though Guan Liyuan had been prepared this time, he still couldn't stop the outbreak of the clan curse seal...
Guan Liyuan checked the other two people who were bewitched at the beginning, and they were indeed dead!
"Having the chakra completely sealed... being under the illusion for too long... will cause the clan curse seal to break out? It is indeed the maximum extent to prevent the tribe members from being captured!" Guan Liyuan couldn't help but say.
However, Guan Liyuan did not gain nothing this time. At least at the beginning, he asked about the current situation of Jūgo and Sora!
Sure enough, it was the twelve Hyuga clan ninjas led by Hyuga Tokuma and Hyuga Iroha, and the twelve elite members of the Hidden Cloud Village led by Yukito and Troy, who ambushed Sora and Jūgo in the Kingdom of the First...
The purpose of the Hyuga clan was to capture Taketori Sora and other Taketori clan ninjas as samples, which would be best, but if not... corpses would also work!
And because this time they were acting privately within the clan, Konoha actually did not want to intervene in the north. The most important things for Konoha at present are, first, to conquer the Rain Country, calm potential dangers and increase external deterrence, and second, to actively repair the relationship with the Sand Village, and look forward to the new Kazekage being Konoha's follower.
For this reason, Konoha also entrusted the monarch of the Fire Country to express to the monarch of the Wind Country that they did not want to pursue the previous behavior of the Sand Village, and even took the initiative to give up part of the task quota in the Wind Country in order to take care of the idea of the Sand Village.
You must know that the reason why the Fourth Kazekage Rasa joined Orochimaru to assassinate Sarutobi and attack Konoha was because the monarch of the Wind Country trusted Konoha too much and reduced the military expenditure of the Sand Village...
Konoha's two moves made the Sand Village, which was originally due to the death of the Fourth Kazekage at the hands of Orochimaru and the village was facing the pursuit of the royal family of the Wind Country, very grateful! As for
the north... Konoha is already in a state of semi-abandonment, and its main targets are in the west and southwest.
The Hyuga clan ninjas who came here were all ready to commit suicide on the spot if they were discovered, and attributed this to "personal behavior".
Of course, the other party's real ultimate goal was to completely destroy everyone including Taketori Sora and Jūgo, so that they would not be exposed.
The Hidden Cloud Village also did not want other northern countries to know that they had personally intervened in northern affairs...
It would be fine if it was just ordinary jonin. If ninjas of the level of Yukito and Troy appeared on the northern battlefield, several countries that had not yet surrendered to the Northern Alliance would probably be forced to join the Northern Alliance because of their fear of the Lightning Kingdom.
However, if no ninjas were sent at all, the Hidden Cloud Village felt that the First Kingdom and the Frost Kingdom could not hold on, so they sent an elite ninja team and hit it off with the Hyuga clan.
At this moment, both sides temporarily forgot about the "unfriendly incident" about ten years ago...
Before that, an elite force composed of 24 elite chunins, special jonins, more than half of them were formal jonins, and two elite jonins ambushed Taketori Sora and Jūgo in the First Kingdom!
The so-called elite led by Taketori Sora and Jūgo, basically the strongest team members, are about the same level as the weakest of the other side...
This can also be seen from the previous corpses. The only few losses of the other side were also caused by Taketori Sora and Jūgo.
An ambush, plus the subsequent pursuit, at least 40 of the 50 people have died...
In the end, a group of Taketori clan ninjas bravely covered the rear, and the other side misjudged the strength of Jūgo and Taketori Osamu, so there were a few fish that slipped through the net.
However, the bodies of the Taketori clan ninjas were all confiscated by the Hyuga clan, so there was no one along the way.
Facing Jūgo and Taketori Osamu's escape, the Hyuga clan ninjas were undoubtedly the most nervous, after all, this was related to whether they needed to take the blame and die.
After discovering the strength of the two, the Hidden Cloud Village became more keen to hunt them down...
If Jūgo had not been taught by Guan Liyuan, he could manipulate natural energy more freely and his strength had been significantly improved, and if Taketori Sora had not had his own special chakra armor early on, I am afraid that the two would not even have a chance to escape!
The first set of finished chakra armor made by Orochimaru was specially made for Taketori Sora, which brought out the advantages of his fighting style to the fullest, and also had many auxiliary functions to make up for the weakness of Taketori Osamu's single fighting method.
However, their opponents were too strong this time, with more than a dozen jonins and so many Byakugan owners, it was not easy to escape...
Moreover, the leaders of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Tokuma and Hyuga Iroha, were both good at perception and were also masters of soft fists. If it weren't for the chakra armor, Taketori Sora, who was good at close combat but had big moves, would be in trouble!
The Hidden Cloud Village sent out two elite jonins, Bokuto and Troy, at once, and even close to the level of the Five Kage, so Taketori Sora and Jūgo could only retreat step by step.
Guan Liyuan still has some impression of Troy, because Orochimaru had talked to him about Hiruko before, so Guan Liyuan also recalled the plot in the movie where Hiruko appeared...
Before Hiruko absorbed Kakashi, he had already absorbed four bloodline limit ninjas with the "Kimetaro Technique".
The one who belonged to the four major ninja villages outside Konoha and was captured and absorbed by the Hidden Cloud Village was Troy!
In the comics, he appeared in the Fourth Ninja World War and was summoned by Kabuto Yakushi with the Impure World Reincarnation. He has a "magnetic escape" chakra similar to the Third Kazekage and the One-tailed Shukaku, and uses iron ninja tools to fight with magnetic chakra.
However, according to the law of fusion chakra, if Troy is not a bloody relative of the Third Kazekage, the two should have some differences in their magnetic escape.
In the movie, after Hiruko took in "Troy", he got "fast escape" that increased his own speed.
Therefore, Guan Liyuan is still unsure of the specific attributes of his chakra.
Knowing that Jūgo and Taketori Sora are still alive, Guan Liyuan was slightly relieved. After the three Hyuga clan ninjas were killed by the clan curse seal, Guan Liyuan continued to chase the two in the direction of their escape...
An hour later, gradually more powerful ninjas entered Guan Liyuan's perception range!
"Huh? This is... Fallen Maple Canyon? Such a strong natural atmosphere, Jūgo should be stronger than usual in it? So he and Sora are hiding in it?
The gourd-shaped canyon, there are many ninjas surrounding the exit... Why is there another circle outside?
That's right! The five Hyuga clan ninjas haven't come back, maybe the other party knows that someone is targeting them, so they want to be on guard, right?"
The four people of the Hyuga clan and the eight people of the Hidden Cloud Village, who didn't know their own arrangements, had been sensed by Guan Liyuan from a distance, and wanted to trap Taketori Sora and Jūgo while guarding against and ambush the "unknown masters" who might come...
