Chapter 171: Mutation! Crazy Takigakure! (Thanks to Alex Mercer for the tip!)
"Kagura's mind is indeed very useful." Xiangyue pretended not to know what Shilang was talking about and answered him calmly.
After all, after so many years of fleeing, she had long developed a calm attitude, especially when facing her biggest secret.
"Hehe, whatever you think, you just need to know that there is someone in Konoha who can protect you." Shiro was not surprised by Kazuki's denial. If she could escape for so many years, she would definitely not be a vase.
"By the way, do you know ninjutsu?"
"Except for perception, I don't know anything."
"Tsk, that's troublesome. How about this, you sense if there's anyone nearby, at the maximum range. Let's deal with the enemy first."
"There's a team of ninjas not more than a kilometer away." Originally, Kazuki didn't want to cooperate with Shiro, but after thinking about it, she told him.
After all, Shiro hasn't done anything suspicious to her yet, so she can only trust him.
"A team? Which direction?"
"there!"
"Okay, I understand. Wait a moment."
After saying that, Shiro looked around and found an open place to summon Asuka No. 2.
"Come up, we will walk from the sky."
"Captain, let's split up and search. This is so inefficient."
A kilometer away, a team of Taki ninjas were heading towards Shiro and his group. One of the Taki ninjas complained to his captain.
"Okay, stop talking. We've already found traces of our target. Besides, don't forget Murashita and the others from the past two days. Do you want to be killed too?!"
"But there's been no news of him in the past two days, which means he's probably just passing through. We've already found intelligence on our target, so we should speed up."
Murashita was the three Takinin captains who were assassinated by Shiro, but that was two days ago. In the past two days, Shiro focused on finding Xiangyue, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
This made some Taki ninjas think that Shiro had left, and apparently, he was one of them.
However, as the captain, he naturally wouldn't be so careless and immediately said, "Alright, let's be safe and don't cause any more trouble. Let's... eh?!"
"Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!"
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
The three Taki ninjas broke out in cold sweat as they watched the sharp swords piercing through the earth wall in front of them. They were almost dead, but fortunately their captain reacted quickly.
But they didn't know that Shilang always planned for the worst, so this was just the beginning.
"collapse!"
Shilang didn't look back and controlled the bird to fly towards the camp. Although he had defeated the opponent, the noise was a bit loud, so he still needed to leave the battlefield as soon as possible.
Xiangyue on the side was staring blankly at the smoke rising slowly over there. The three chakra reactions inside had disappeared, which meant that the three of them were dead.
They had been dodging this person all these years, and even her mother had lost her life because of him. Now, he was killed by Shilang so casually. She was a little unable to react for a moment.
But, she should be saved.
Thinking of this, Xiangyue's mouth curled up, and her mood was no longer as heavy as before.
Silang, who was standing by, saw this out of the corner of his eye and immediately felt relieved. She was willing to smile, which meant that she trusted Silang a little bit, which was a good start.
Of course, Shiro didn't kill those Taki ninjas just to show off. One of his purposes was to show his attitude and strength, hoping that Xiangyue would feel more at ease.
Being able to better cooperate with Shilang and others' arrangements will be conducive to the progress of the mission.
Another reason was that those Taki ninjas must have discovered some information. In order to prevent them from finding any items that could be tracked, Shiro killed them directly and put an end to it once and for all.
At the same time, the collapse of the illusion can also cause more interference information, creating more time for Shilang and others to act.
In this way, Shiro brought Xiangyue to the camp, but because Shiro sent a message to Nakamura and others after finding Xiangyue, and he stopped for a while, they arrived earlier than Shiro who was riding on the bird.
After all, Shiro didn't show up as soon as he found it. Instead, he observed from the side for a while and looked for a suitable opportunity before appearing.
Because Shirou didn't know what her attitude towards Konoha was. After all, it was Konoha that had wronged them in the first place. Fortunately, although she had some opinions about Konoha, she was generally on the side of the village.
So Shiro appeared in front of her, otherwise, Shiro would have to knock her out to complete the task.
"Shiro, is this the mission objective?"
"Well, Captain, her name is Uzumaki Kazuki, and she is the target of this mission."
"Well, hello, I'm Nakamura, a Konoha jonin. I've been sent by the village to rescue you. Sorry for the long wait."
"Nothing, I should be the one thanking you. So, Captain Nakamura, when do we leave?"
"The sooner the better. We haven't prepared anything yet. What about you?"
Xiangyue shook her head and said, "Neither do I. But I want to remind you that Takigakure has sent people to block the border between the two countries."
"Don't worry about that. We're going through the sky, so they can't stop us. Besides, it's just a small Takigakure Village. They don't dare to stay on the border of our Land of Fire for too long!"
Xiangyue looked at them blankly with a strange look in her eyes. In all these years, she had never seen such confidence in anyone when talking about their country.
This was the first time for Nakamura and the others, and therefore, it was also the first time for her to become curious about the unjust village that her mother mentioned. She wanted to know what kind of village was so strong that made them so confident.
"Lu Ming, any plans?"
"Mr. Nakamura, we don't have much intelligence. Don't forget, we didn't pass by that place when we came here. But we still need to be prepared for battle. They should have roughly known it was us."
“So there should be some monitoring of the sky.”
"Alright then, Shiro, get the bird ready, we're ready to go."
"yes!"
Afterwards, Shiro and his crew cleaned up the camp, disguised it, set up a few decoy traces, and then returned on the Giant Bird II.
"Um, Shiro, right?" On the way, Xiangyue called Shiro softly.
"What's wrong? Are you not used to this speed?"
"No, this speed is pretty good. I just want to ask, who are my clansmen in Konoha that you are talking about?"
"Hmm? Oh yes, I haven't told you yet. The one in Konoha is Uzumaki Kushina, the daughter of your clan leader. She was sent to Konoha for some reason before the battle in Whirlpool Country began."
"Not long after, news came that the Whirlpool Country was destroyed. Alas, she is still very lonely in the village. If you have time in the future, you can go and spend more time with her."
"After all, what are you doing?"
Shiro stopped talking halfway and looked in shock at the place not far away. Nakamura and the others did the same. Xiangyue, who had the sharpest perception, had already huddled up in fear!
