Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 214 Run? None of you can escape!

"Once we cross this mountain, we'll reach the Land of Rain, our homeland, a country we still deeply love!"

Yahiko stood on the mountain ridge, looking down at the vast expanse of clouds and mist.

He couldn't see his hometown below at all, but at this moment, Yahiko's face was full of excitement, and his eyes were shining with a burning light, as if he had already returned to his hometown.

This feeling...

Jingyan understands!

When he returned home from studying in another city in his previous life, he was just as excited as Yahiko when he saw the scenery of his hometown.

only--

Can not go back.

Jingyan sighed inwardly.

Then he looked around.

A row of high mountains separates this place from the Land of Wind.

Looking at the terrain, Kyohiko seemed to be deep in thought.

No wonder this place is so rainy!

Mountains rise between the Land of Rain and the Land of Wind, and rainwater gathers in this area, flowing down and forming huge lakes on the plains below.

South of the lake lies the land of rivers.

The rainy season in the Land of Rain is inseparable from the country's topography, climate, and the accumulation of monsoons.

of course.

The deserts of the Land of Wind are also related to the environment and climate.

"What's wrong?"

Yahiko turned around.

Then, pointing to the vast expanse of clouds below, he said, "If it weren't for so much rain, I believe the Land of Rain would be a very beautiful country!"

"I believe it too."

Jingyan nodded slightly.

The situation in the Land of Rain might be such that changing the environment could reduce rainfall, but it could also lead to even more terrible changes.

No one can guarantee it.

Let's go!

It's been so long since I've been back!

After the initial excitement subsided, Yahiko's feelings gradually turned into apprehension.

Is the Land of Rain still the same as it used to be?

Hiyori maintained his white eyes, observing the surrounding situation, while Kyohiko was more composed, his gaze constantly observing the surrounding environment and scenery. As they reached the mountainside, beneath the clouds and mist, the rain gradually increased.

By the time we reached the foot of the mountain, it was pouring rain!

The rain poured down as if it were being poured out.

"The birds of Nagato are guiding the way, let's follow them!"

……

Even though the rain made Amegakure, a village built on the shore of a lake, seem very gloomy, one can still feel its grandeur at a glance.

Rain-Hidden Village.

As expected of the most powerful ninja village among the smaller ninja villages right now!

A hint of admiration flashed in Jingyan's eyes.

Despite the harsh environment, Amegakure's infrastructure wasn't too bad. Some ninjas could be seen patrolling the outskirts, and Kyohiko and his group had already changed into a new outfit under Yahiko's guidance.

They infiltrated Amegakure.

The five-person formation left Hizashi in the middle, and Byakugan observed everything around them, searching for Sasori's trail.

……

A corner of Amegakure Village.

A ninja wearing a straw hat, carrying a bundle on his back, walked down the street, heading in the direction that would cross Amegakure.

"I should warn you, it seems like someone's following us."

"Hmph, I know."

Sasori looked up at the sky, a slight smile playing on his lips.

That bird...

He had been noticing it all along!

"Where's the helper you mentioned?"

"I mean you have help, but that's no excuse for you to deliberately throw your life away. Besides, this is Amegakure. Do you think Hanzo of the Salamander will let you off the hook if you fight here?"

A faint sound came from the wall.

Sasori replied lazily, "It doesn't matter. If he makes a move, I can still escape. Besides, do you think he has absolutely no reaction to these Bird Country ninjas?"

Not far from them, a ninja resembling Sasori of the Red Sand was heading towards Hanzo's location in Amegakure, while they were lingering on the edge of the area.

"Oh."

I'm speechless.

Sasori of the Red Sand wasn't stupid, but rather overconfident in himself. In reality, Sasori of the Red Sand was just an ordinary genius in his eyes.

Throughout the history of the ninja world, there have been many who were more monstrous and powerful than him.

For example, there are two members of Konoha's new generation!

As Jue was pondering this, suddenly, he sensed several auras approaching, especially—

One of them came from the child beside Nagato.

Yahiko?

It seems to be called that.

Jue immediately understood.

The other side has caught up!

Yahiko……

An idea suddenly popped into his head.

"They've caught up."

"Oh? They arrived quickly. It must be the leader of that village in the Bird Country. Only they could move this fast. Interesting, they actually dared to chase after us..."

Sasori of the Red Sand chuckled. "Then let's turn their leader into my collection! I remember one of them seemed to know a secret origami technique; I wonder if it can be preserved as a puppet."

"I think you should first consider whether you can win."

Absolutely no comment.

Sasori chuckled: "They outnumber us, but I have the entire Amegakure!"

As he spoke, his fingers trembled.

The disguised puppet had already reached the edge of Hanzo's house, with Sasori controlling it with both hands.

Immediately—

boom!

An explosion rang out in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, alarms rang throughout the village, and a group of ninjas rushed out from the streets and alleys. Then, the ninja exploded and turned into flames.

A figure appeared on the building.

He looked down at the ground, his brow furrowing slightly: "Sasori of the Red Sand?"

"grown ups……"

"Don't worry, this is just a puppet. The real Sasori of the Red Sand is definitely not dead yet, and he is currently hiding in some corner of the village."

Hanzo snorted coldly and brandished his scythe.

He had naturally heard about Sasori's movements and knew that the other party had been active in the area of ​​the Land of Birds recently, but he did not expect that the other party would suddenly come to Amegakure to cause trouble.

and.

They came, fine, but they even dared to attack Amegakure!

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"Search for Sasori of the Red Sand! Also..."

Just as Hanzo was about to speak, he saw several other figures running rapidly through the village.

What's going on?

There is no ninja with such strength in the entire Amegakure!

Who is this?

Just as he was wondering what was going on, a person quickly arrived from behind him.

"Lord Hanzo, urgent news! This is a dispatch from Sunagakure..."

"It's definitely for Sasori of the Red Sand. Don't look, I'll grab Sasori first, and then I'll know everything!"

A fierce glint flashed in Hanzo's eyes.

He had long been very dissatisfied with Sasori of the Red Sand.

If the other party were outside the Land of Rain, he would not be able to kill them. Now that they have entered the Land of Rain, how could he possibly let them go?

Of course—

kill!

"No, sir, Konoha also sent someone. The participant is that guy from Konoha who claims to be able to inherit the name of the God of Shinobi..."

Seeing that Hanzo wanted to leave, his subordinates immediately disregarded everything else and quickly reported the intelligence they had read.

"Inheriting the title of God of Shinobi? I see. Those were Konoha ninjas. They've gotten involved with Sunagakure..."

Hanzo squinted.

Yoshimine Kyohiko.

He had heard this name from many people and knew that the other party was an absolute genius who was indeed capable of inheriting the title of the God of Ninjas.

but.

He's just a teenager, after all.

This guy also made a move, but to act so recklessly in Amegakure is just too disrespectful to himself!

Furthermore, he definitely wants to catch Sasori of the Red Sand himself!

"I see!"

Hanzo quickly jumped down from above.

He's already seen Sasori of the Red Sand!

That guy was very well hidden, but as a very experienced ninja, he still managed to find Sasori of the Red Sand hiding in a corner, not quite blending into the crowd, within the radius of the previous puppets.

Although it may also be a puppet, once you find the puppet, you can basically find the puppeteer!

Whoosh!

Hanzo vanished in an instant.

……

"Kyohiko, Hanzo is here!"

His expression changed rapidly.

Jingyan said calmly, "I sensed it. He was lured down by Sasori of the Red Sand."

"Rasa should have already delivered the intelligence, so we don't need to worry about the threat from Hanzo."

Hizashi looked in one direction and said, "I saw Sunagakure ninjas over there."

"It doesn't matter. Regardless of Hanzo's attitude, we must capture Sasori of the Red Sand, and we must take him down before Hanzo and Rasa do!"

This way, there will be time to study Sasori's puppetry techniques.

next moment.

"I'm leaving first, you guys follow behind."

"this……"

Just as Hizashi was about to speak, he saw Kyohiko disappear from the spot, and with him vanished...

There's also Kakashi and Yahiko.

but.

The two behind, Hizashi could still see their figures, but they were moving faster, while Kyohiko was moving forward at almost the speed of "flash".

Horror!

"This isn't even his full strength."

"That's what Yu Nuzhi said calmly."

The sir was utterly astonished, then looked at Aburame Shiki and said, "You've seen his full power? Is it even more terrifying than this?"

"have no idea."

Yu Nuzhi adjusted her sunglasses slightly.

He said calmly, "Kyohiko hasn't made a move in almost a year. Who knows how powerful he is now? Even the three adults who know him best probably don't know his limits!"

The next instant, as if confirming Aburame Shiki's words, Kyohiko's speed increased once again under Hizashi's disapproving gaze, almost doubling in speed compared to before.

Even though they were far apart, he could still vaguely see traces of lightning-style ninjutsu.

That looks like Lightning Armor?

When did Kyohiko secretly learn the Lightning Armor technique?

Risa was dumbfounded.

he……

Although I've worked with Kyohiko on several missions, they were mostly simple, and I haven't really witnessed Kyohiko's full power. Now I'm only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

but.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, yet it is enough to shock him.

"So, Kyohiko's advice to observe and learn from others' ninjutsu was actually based on his own insights?"

A thought flashed through Hijisa's mind.

Lightning Armor.

This is the most prized ninjutsu of Kumogakure, and the Third Raikage is famous throughout the ninja world because of it, but...

Did the other side know that Kyohiko could use this move?

He grinned.

"What are you laughing at? Come on, hurry up and catch up."

Aburame gave a slight nudge, "They're all following behind!"

"Oh? Oh right!"

Hizashi swept his Byakugan around, and a group of Amegakure ninjas surged toward them from behind.

Although they also wore headbands, the ninjas of Amegakure clearly had their own methods of identification.

"Walk!"

……

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! So hilarious! Did you see that? I've mobilized the entire village!"

Scorpion smiled.

Jue emerged from the ground, staring dumbfounded at the scorpion beside him.

He discovered it.

This guy is a complete madman, he has no sense whatsoever!

I've gone mad...

I actually think that this kind of person can be used temporarily to get them to do things for me.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I think you're crazy!"

He gave a curt reply.

Scorpion laughed, "Crazy? That's just your opinion. I'm doing great right now, better than ever before!"

"I've heard Hanzo's poison is incredibly potent, but would it even work on a puppet? And if your helper doesn't arrive soon, then I think..."

Scorpion had just started speaking when his voice suddenly stopped.

He looked into the distance.

"Looks like I've caught up with Sasori of the Red Sand, and... another friend."

On the rooftop of a house not far away, a figure stood overlooking Sasori of the Red Sand and the strangely shaped "Zetsu".

Is this what Jue is like now?

Jingyan looked down at the two of them.

"Ryomine Kyohiko!"

Sasori of the Red Sand squinted.

He sneered, "You've really gone to great lengths, fearing I'd obtain the Third Kazekage's corpse, you even went so far as to destroy the remaining chakra and internal organs in his body!"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I don't want you to have it."

Jingyan stretched his limbs, "If it weren't for your grandma protecting you, I would have killed you long ago! I was just not capable enough before, but this time, you won't be so lucky!"

Sasori of the Red Sand crossed his hands, and immediately, two scrolls appeared, from which puppets flew out one by one.

Whoosh!

Dozens, even hundreds of puppets!

Zetsu looked up at the sky, then finally at Sasori of the Red Sand.

At this moment, Sasori of the Red Sand had chakra threads flying out from his body, spreading and controlling the puppets above him, some of which were quite special.

That is……

The Ten Men of Chikamatsu.

There were also three very exquisite-looking, human-like puppets.

Father, mother, and grandmother.

These three special puppets were also quite special to Sasori of the Red Sand, because—

These three puppets were positioned closest to Sasori of the Red Sand, completely protecting him.

Obviously.

For him, the protection of the three made him feel at ease.

Here, the scorpion considers itself to be at its safest.

Although Zetsu looked down on puppetry, he had some knowledge of it and had to admit that Sasori of the Red Sand was indeed quite skilled.

A puppeteer's genius!

However, this guy lost his family too early. After Chiyo, Ebizo and others died, he went crazy and had no one to rely on.

Pity!

A hint of regret flashed in Jue's eyes.

However, a thought quickly came to him: "If I told you there was a way to save your grandmother and parents, would you be willing to come with me?"

It's said to be walking, but it's actually "running".

If they were to run away, they would be absolutely confident that they could help the other party escape.

"Um?"

Scorpion suddenly looked at him.

resurrection?

impossible!

however.

at this time--

"Run? None of you can escape!"

Jingyan's voice rang out.

Immediately, he clasped his hands together, and the patterns of an immortal appeared on his face.

On the way, he had already used Shadow Clone Technique in conjunction with Amber Technique to absorb natural energy, allowing Shadow Clone Technique to absorb Sage Chakra, which could be activated instantly at this moment.

The next second, Jingyan's figure disappeared from the spot.

Wow!

One by one, the puppets surrounded Jingyan from all directions.

Weapons, hidden weapons, and ninjutsu rained down on the center, but...

When Kyohiko reappeared, he had already passed by one puppet after another.
