　Like a startled bird, Might Guy immediately unleashed Leaf Whirlwind, kicking at the dark figure!

　Ye Chen saw the true face of the shadowy figure and was about to stop it, but Might Guy had already made his move!

　The black image was kicked away like a sandbag and crashed to the ground! (3/3)

Chapter 45: The Jinchuriki is Kidnapped (Seeking flowers and favorites)

　The dark figure that suddenly emerged from the bushes was kicked away by Might Guy, crashing heavily into a thick tree, leaving many dents on its surface.

　This kick was incredibly powerful; an ordinary person would have been badly injured!

　“Dai!” Ye Chen couldn’t help but look at Might Guy, somewhat helplessly.

　Might Guy scratched his head and gave an awkward smile, saying, "Yoru-kun, I thought it was another assassination attempt on a ninja, and I lost my composure for a moment."

　"Judging from his attire, he's a member of the Konoha Anbu," Ye Chen said.

　"What!" Might Guy's eyes widened in disbelief.

　Then, Ye Chen walked over. At this moment, the dark figure was lying on the ground, and its face could not be seen. Its breath was weak, and its heartbeat was getting slower and slower. It was almost out of breath!

　With that thought, he turned the shadowy figure over, looked at the mask on its face, and immediately recognized its identity.

　This mask is the Pig of the Chinese zodiac, and perhaps more than one person in the Dark Division wears a Pig mask.

　However, Ye Chen had fought with Hai Zhu and used his Observation Haki to remember this person's aura.

　This dark figure is the ANBU ninja who fought me that day!

　"It really is the Anbu. Oh no, I kicked him, will it turn into murder?" Might Day said, extremely annoyed.

　“Even if you don’t kick him, he won’t survive.” Ye Chen glanced at the Boar Ninja indifferently, then pointed to his heart.

　The area was shrouded in a faint aura of lightning chakra, and his chest was covered in blood, the wound so deep that flesh was visible.

　The boar ninja had his heart pierced by a ninjutsu similar to a lightning blade!

　The reason he is still alive is probably because of his excess body fat, which has become his protective shield, preventing him from being killed by an ordinary ninja.

　"Cough cough!"

　At this moment, the critically injured and dying Pig coughed twice. Leaning weakly against a tree trunk, he said:

　"You are Konoha ninjas. Have I returned to Konoha?"

　"No, we are ninjas on a mission. What happened?" Ye Chen asked, without revealing his identity as an Anbu member.

　Upon hearing this, the Pig looked disappointed and said, "Please help me take off my mask."

　Although he didn't know why the Pig made that request, he still complied.

　Gently remove the mask of the Pig, revealing an extremely young and tender face. However, the face is a bit fleshier than that of an ordinary person, chubby and not fat, but rather a little cute!

　At this moment, the Pig's eyes were dim and had lost their luster; its breathing was weak, and it muttered to itself:

　"Death is the fate of a ninja. From the day I entered the Anbu, I have lived in darkness and shadow. Killing and being killed are just a matter of a single thought. If I can see the light again before I die, I will have no regrets."

　Might Guy remained silent, and Yoruichi didn't speak either. They listened quietly to Ino's narration, the last words of a ninja from the dark side of the ANBU.

　From the day they become ninjas, death is inevitable; it's just a matter of sooner or later.

　"What exactly happened?" Ye Chen asked.

　The killing of an ANBU ninja within the territory is definitely not the work of an ordinary person.

　"The Hidden Cloud Village ninjas infiltrated Konoha and took away our Jinchuriki! Our Anbu received orders to track down the Hidden Cloud Village, but we were ambushed and suffered heavy losses," Ino replied.

　"What? That person was brought back?" Ye Chen was shocked. Currently, Konoha's only...

　(1/3)

　Kushina was the only Jinchūriki.

　Could it be that the event from the original story has actually happened?

　"No,

　Only one team of Anbu came to track them down. The Konoha leadership doesn't want this to escalate, do you understand? "Ino said.

　The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is a matter of fundamental importance to Konoha. If news were to spread that something had happened to the Jinchuriki, people would likely be filled with panic.

　Moreover, at this time, Kushina had not yet become the vessel for the Nine-Tails!

　The Hidden Cloud Village captured Kushina solely to study the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques and the Uzumaki bloodline!

　To suppress the matter, Konoha only sent a team of ANBU to track them down, and it was impossible for them to take any major action.

　Putting yourself in their shoes, it would be best if they could be saved, but if they can't, then...

　Ye Chen didn't want to think about it anymore; human nature is the most vulnerable to temptation!

　If we really think about the worst, Kushina might have become a victim.

　After all, the current strength of Kumogakure is no weaker than that of Konoha!

　Especially now, the Third Raikage is a ruthless person who can pin the Eight-Tails Gyūki to the ground and beat it to a pulp!

　After saying this, the pig fell silent and died completely, as if it had completed its mission.

　"What on earth is going on? What kind of Jinchuriki is this?" Might Guy was completely confused.

　"call!"

　Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen slowly said:

　"Dai, I need to go rescue someone. But you can't come with me!"

　"Why? Aren't two people stronger than one, Nightfall-kun?" Might Guy said.

　“This time is different. The side effects of your Eight Gates technique haven’t fully recovered yet. Besides, the Anbu ninjas here can’t be left unattended; they’re loyal to Konoha. Dai, you can take care of their affairs afterward,” Ye Chen said.

　Might Guy, upon hearing this, wanted to refute it. However, considering the lingering side effects of his Eight Gates technique and the possibility that it might become a burden to Ye Chen, he slowly said:

　"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back here, Ye Chen Jun."

　Ye Chen glanced at the sky and said, "Dai, if I'm not back by dawn, you don't need to wait for me!"

　After speaking, Ye Chen vanished from the spot in an instant.

　Matt Day stood rooted to the spot, his face grave, his expression resolute.

　"Ye Chen Jun, you must come back. If anything happens to you, I swear I will never let the Yun Ren go, even if it costs me dearly!"

　……

　huh~

　Ye Chen leaped back and forth through the forest, relying on his Observation Haki and the traces left by the battles of the Anbu ninjas, and finally found the Cloud Ninja's infiltration route.

　I'm afraid this trip will be another tough battle!

　If it were someone else, he probably wouldn't have gone to such lengths to rescue them!

　But Kushina was different; this girl was always doing things quietly behind the scenes.

　There were many times when he would leave a bento box at his house in the morning and leave quietly. Also, during the days he was in the Anbu, it was probably Kushina who cleaned his house.

　In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, besides her, there is probably no one else who genuinely cares about him from the bottom of their heart!

　For the sake of this sentiment, Ye Chen could not possibly stand by and watch someone die!

　It was already past midnight, and when they were still half a mile away from the Cloud Ninja, their Observation Haki began to issue a frantic warning.

　(2/3)

　He then stopped, concealed his figure, and slowly advanced step by step!

　In the distance, under the pale moonlight, a red-haired girl was seen tied to a tree with ropes, her face showing helplessness and tears welling up in her eyes.

　"Kushina!" Ye Chen whispered.

　Not far away, two Cloud Ninja were leaning against a tree trunk, seemingly taking a nap. (3/3)

Chapter 45 One after another (Please give flowers and add to your favorites)

　As night deepened and all was quiet, the only sounds in the forest were the occasional chirping of cicadas.

　Kushina was tied to the tree trunk, her small face pale and filled with terror, tears welling in her eyes. She thought to herself:

　"Who can help me!"

　But apart from the two vicious ninjas, there was no one else there. Since the Konoha pursuers had been repelled during the day, she hadn't seen anyone chasing her, which filled her with utter despair.

　She would be leaving the border of the Land of Fire soon, and if no one came by then, she would probably really be kidnapped.

　I've heard that the children who are abducted to other countries suffer terribly, often being abused and used for research.

　Kushina's small body trembled uncontrollably at the thought of the darkness to come!

　"Shh!"

　A particularly gentle voice reached her ears, a voice like a light in the darkness, illuminating her lonely heart, and it felt strangely familiar.

　"Who is it?" Kushina was extremely excited, but the mature woman suppressed her emotions, not wanting the two ninjas not far away to notice.

　"It's me." Ye Chen appeared silently from behind the tree, his expression calm.

　"Ye Chen." Kushina's face lit up with surprise. How did he get here? Did he come here specifically to save her?
