Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 48 Easily defeated
"hateful!!"

The middle door is wide open!

Menma advanced aggressively.

Arms raised high.

Under the shining sun, the cold light of the kunai was reflected.

at that moment.

There seemed to be a slight hesitation in the shaking.

But it was only a second later.

There was a hint of fierceness in Menma's pupils.

It stabbed brightly at the attacker's vital point.

"!?"

This distance is already impossible to dodge.

The attacker gritted his teeth and tried his best to turn sideways, while swinging his right arm sideways to block in front of himself.

"Pfft!"

Barely blocking the attack on the vital point.

But the kunai still easily penetrated into the attacker's right arm.

It fell with the dull sound of metal piercing through flesh and blood.

"Zi Liu!"

Blood splattered everywhere.

The attackers couldn't help but groan in pain.

The other arm twisted back and was about to counterattack.

"Shh!"

Menma, however, had already raised his left leg in advance, and kicked the attacker hard in the abdomen.

The power that bursts out.

"Wow!"

While making the attacker in front of him spit out a large amount of blood from his mouth, his body quickly retreated backwards like a cannonball.

"Bang!"

It hit the ground hard.

Under a double blow.

The attacker felt as if his body was about to fall apart, and he didn't have time to reassemble himself.

Menma had already flashed to the upper position.

He bent his knees and hit the attacker's abdomen again, which made the attacker completely unable to resist.
His eyelids fluttered and he fainted.

And that was after Menma subdued the attacker.

The other side position.

Sasuke also hit another attacker hard on the neck with his hand knife, knocking him out directly.

“Ahhh! You two reacted too quickly!? Leave one for me!!!”

Naruto realized it belatedly and looked at Menma and Sasuke who had each put down an enemy, with an unhappy look on his face.

This is a rare opportunity to practice after leaving the village!

I just missed it like that!!

Naruto was so heartbroken and felt so regretful!

"Haha, then you have to act faster next time, Naruto!"

Menma took out a rope and tied the two attackers to a big tree nearby, while looking at Naruto and speaking softly.

"Hmph, just wait and see. Next time, I will definitely be faster than both of you!"

Naruto said, wrinkling his nose.

"Is this still the time to discuss this! Kakashi-sensei! Kakashi-sensei has been killed!" Haruno Sakura, who was not far away, seemed to have just come back to her senses from her daze. When she heard and saw that Menma, Naruto and Sasuke were still so calm and composed, she stared at the three of them with wide eyes and shouted subconsciously.

Sakura really couldn't understand.

Is it true that the death of their mentor jonin is not important at all to Menma, Naruto, and Sasuke! ?
"Look, Sakura, take a closer look at where Kakashi-sama was just now. This is already the second time. Don't you have an idea of ​​Kakashi-sama's strength?"

Naruto heard Sakura yelling.

He also shook his head, pointed to where Kakashi had been, and said with a slightly helpless tone.

Menma and Sasuke also still had a calm look on their faces.

"what?"

Only Sakura was stunned after hearing Naruto's words, and then subconsciously followed Naruto's finger and saw that "Kakashi's body" had turned into a wooden stake broken into several sections at some point, and the blood that had splashed out before had now completely disappeared without a trace.

This is not exactly the same as a month ago, but it is almost the same scene.

This immediately caused a look of embarrassment to appear on Sakura's face.

"Ahahaha, so it's a substitution technique..."

Sakura gave an awkward but polite smile, trying to cover it up directly with her smile.

"Also, Brother Kakashi, you should come out too, right? With your strength, you can easily defeat these two enemies, right? Why are you still hiding?"

Naruto seemed a little dissatisfied and a little confused.

"Haha, I still can't hide it from your eyes. However, I hid for a reason, Naruto. This is to determine who the attacker's real target is. After all, don't forget that our mission this time is only C-rank. Naruto, it's just Menma and Sasuke. You two acted too quickly. Now there is no way to judge!"

Kakashi stepped out from the shadow of the big tree on the right side of the road with a smile on his face after saying the first half of the sentence.

The second half of the sentence was also said deliberately while looking at Dazna.

It was at this moment that Dazna finally lost his composure, and a hint of panic clearly appeared in his pupils.

"Eh? The real target? Brother Kakashi, what do you mean?"

Naruto is just simple, and sometimes he is unwilling to think, but that doesn't mean he is a fool.

Not to mention that Kakashi has already made it so clear!
It would be strange if Naruto still couldn't understand!
"Isn't it easy to find out who the target is? Teacher Kakashi, you should have many ways to pry open the mouths of these two Mist Ninjas!"

Menma smiled softly, glancing at the two still unconscious oni brothers before looking back at Kakashi and responding.

"That's right. You've heard what I said, Dazna-san. Do you need to give us an explanation? Oh, of course, you can also remain silent, but there must be someone over there who is willing to speak!"

Kakashi turned his head and looked at Dazna. At this moment, there was no need to hide anything.

Menma, Sasuke, and even Naruto's eyes had already been fixed on Dazna as Kakashi spoke.

Only Sakura still had a dazed look on her face.

I turned my head left and right, but still couldn't understand what the situation was.

"Hey...."

After the two Mist Ninjas were subdued, Kakashi reappeared.

Dazna's expression was already tense.

As Kakashi finished speaking, Dazna couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

He didn't mean to be ignorant.

But I always pretended not to understand.

Deep down, he always hoped that the ninjas he hired from the Hidden Leaf Village would come and protect him.

Those who want to take his life will retreat when they see difficulty.

He can enjoy a period of safety for free and hold out until the bridge is completed.

But now all the fantasies have been shattered.

"No need to ask, these people are coming towards me!"

Dazna was very frank and admitted it directly. The facts were already in front of him, and there was no point in continuing to pretend.

After all, Dazna is an old fellow who has lived for several decades, so he still understands this clearly. He still holds on to the last glimmer of hope!

Of course, we have to preserve this last bit of goodwill that may not exist, but may exist!
