Chapter 267 Eye-catching
Qing is 43 years old this year. He participated in the Second and Third Ninja World Wars. His role in the Hidden Mist Village is similar to that of Shikaku and Kaiichi. Even without the Byakugan, he is usually responsible for reconnaissance, sensing, and consulting. He is not the same type as Ino, who claims to be a sensing ninja but can actually pin a Jinchūriki to the ground and beat him.
Although he was not a ninja who charged into battle, he had rich combat experience as he was able to survive to this day. Without thinking, he picked up the table where the ingredients were placed and swung it with one hand to repel the Aburame Tsuchiya. Sawdust flew all over the sky. He took two steps back and finally had time to draw out his kunai and look at these enemies.
The Root ninjas who were the attackers were extremely silent, ranging in age from thirteen to thirty, with Aburame Togen being considered young among them at seventeen.
Qing saw that there was something wrong with the all-black look of Aburame Togen, and did not dare to make physical contact. He used the impact of the "Water Wave" to knock over two Root ninjas, threw the kunai in his hand, and forced back another Root ninja. Then he grabbed the ankle of one of the Root ninjas with one hand, and grabbed his neck with the other hand, raised it above his head, and threw it far away in the direction of Aburame Togen.
Aburame Togen retreated quickly, and a gap appeared in the encirclement. The experienced Qing judged that it was a trap and broke out in another direction instead.
He soon found himself in crisis.
The Root Ninja is fearless and brave, and most of the time, they just don't dodge or evade when facing his attacks.
A Root ninja wrapped his arm with a chain hammer, and just after he circled it twice, he was hit in the chest by Qing's elbow, causing a large part of his sternum to collapse. The Root ninja spurted blood from his mouth, but the arm that was holding the chain did not shake at all.
"Damn it! They're assassins?" Qing didn't know who he had offended, and why they sent such elite soldiers to attack and kill him.
As a Jonin, he was decisive. He killed the Root Ninja who was entangled with him with two punches. Blood was gushing from the opponent's eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and his skull was deformed, but the opponent's hands were still tightly grasping the chain. Qing ran two steps towards the side door and found that the big pendant was still hanging on his arm. He swung his arms quickly, but for a moment, he could not get away.
The remaining eight Root ninjas attacked from many directions, front, back, left, and right.
Ao's shoulder was scratched by a kunai from a Root Ninja, leaving a bloody groove, and his left hand and cheek were injured successively. He hurriedly injected himself with an antidote, but his face turned black, obviously showing that he was severely poisoned.
He fought back hard, punching and kicking, and using his right hand as a claw, he smashed the heart of a Root ninja, but he also felt dizzy and his movements became slower and slower.
"You want my Byakugan?!" Seeing several people staring at his eyes like wolves, he suddenly realized something and wanted to activate the pre-set eye technique to destroy the Byakugan.
Aburame Togen rushed up first and put the sealing talisman on his shoulder, causing a noticeable delay in the circulation of chakra in Qing's body. While he was stunned, he was stabbed two holes by the kunai. Aburame Togen even cut off his right hand, destroying his ability to make seals.
Qing was covered in blood, most of his injuries were caused by Aburame Togen. The opponent had a vicious eye and his physical skills were at the level of a jonin, so he had a hard time dealing with him.
Qing had encountered ninjas from the Aburame clan on the battlefield and knew about their parasitic insects, but he couldn't see the nanoworms in Aburame's body. Mixed with the chakra, the worms were too tiny, and for a moment, he couldn't tell what they were.
He sent a signal to the village as soon as he was attacked. The nearest secret outpost of the Hidden Mist Village was ten miles away. With the speed of a ninja, support should arrive soon. Even if one of his arms was broken, he could hold on for a while with the help of physical skills.
".You are dead!" Through his Byakugan, he memorized the chakra characteristics of several people. As long as the support from the village arrived, he could capture them and interrogate them for intelligence.
A sudden omen of danger sounded in his mind, and the battle-hardened man suddenly looked up at the sky.
They saw white clay falling from the sky like snowflakes, and a figure standing on a giant flying bird looking down at them.
Who is this? Looks like someone from Akatsuki?
Before Qing had time to take a closer look at the opponent's chakra, he saw countless clay spiders explode after falling on everyone!
Explosions occurred one after another, flames shot up into the sky, the high-ranking officials of the Water Country were in chaos, and the women were running around. Ino also made two clay owls on the spot, one in front and one behind, and rushed towards Qing and Aburame.
No oily chakra added, pure detonating clay! Qing tried to dodge with the help of the rockery on the scene, but the clay owl blew a big hole in his chest.
Qing died on the spot, and Aburame took the root and left a bug clone at the spot to deceive the Clay Owl.
He forced his way out of the explosion area and wanted to dig out Qing's white eye, but he only saw Qing's body lying in a pool of blood. The right eye socket of the body had become a bloody hole, and the crucial white eye had been taken away first.
After a careful inspection, he found that this was not a shadow clone or a transformation technique, but a real corpse. He had to issue an order: the operation failed, and he had to retreat!
The news spread quickly, and Qing was attacked and killed, which caused an uproar in the Hidden Mist Village.
Many ninjas swarmed out, and the master even sent out Zabuza Momochi with only one purpose, to catch the murderer, interrogate the criminal, find the real murderer, and then avenge Ao!
By the way, take back the White Eyes. Yes, they think that the White Eyes belong to them, and it is not okay for you outsiders to take them back.
Aburame Togen is a fast runner, but the Root ninjas under his command are not as good and cannot outrun Momochi Zabuza on the sea.
Several people fought desperately, and then cut off their tail to survive. They finally protected Aburame Tone and two Root Jonins into the Land of Hot Water. After shaking off the pursuers, they returned to the Land of Fire.
There were nine people in the group. Two were killed by Ao at the wedding banquet, one was killed by a bomb from Deidara, two were killed by Mist Village Anbu ninjas on the way to chase, and one was captured alive by Zabuza.
The Hidden Mist Village did not obtain any information from the captives, but according to the law of the ninja world, "Whenever you see an unfamiliar forbidden technique, it must have been invented by the Second Hokage. Whenever you don't know who did a bad thing, it must have been done by Danzo Shimura." They believed that these unknown ninjas must have come from the roots of Konoha Village.
The master immediately sent a letter to Konoha Village, asking the two major ninja villages to jointly investigate the cause of Qing's death.
Danzo didn't know whether he should protest his injustice or what.
According to Aburame Togen and two other Root ninjas, Ao's eyes were taken out by Deidara using a clay bomb.
Can I say this myself? Say that Deidara stole Qing's Byakugan?
Jiraiya would definitely ask, how did you know? He said his Root Ninja just happened to pass by? Even a fool wouldn't believe it!
Danzo was furious. Damn Akatsuki organization, you dare to let me take the blame? I will never let you off!
