Chapter 82 Surprise Attack! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Although he was heading to the Bird Country, Hoshino Shu did not pass through the Rain Country, but took the shortest route.

Instead, they traveled along the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Grass, then along the border between the Land of Rain and the Land of Earth, and finally entered the Land of Birds from the border of the Land of Birds, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Rain.

We arrived in the Bird Country in the evening of the second day.

After only a two-hour rest, Xingxia Xiu started assigning tasks.

It's also very simple.

First, find the Iwa ninja in the Bird Country.

These are the people we need to deal with first.

Only after dealing with these people can Xingxia Show move on to the next step.

He dispersed all three squads, and Hoshino also created a wooden clone, which went straight to the daimyo's mansion in the Bird Country.

He needs to prepare for the second step.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was dawn.

All three squads that went out returned with intelligence.

Within the Land of Birds, the Iwa ninja are mainly concentrated in two places.

It is a small town near the border of Daimyo Prefecture, the Land of Birds, and the Land of Rain.

The former refers to protecting the daimyo of the Bird Country, and the latter is due to the recent political assassinations launched by Root.

Currently, there are ten Iwa ninja in the Daimyo's Mansion of the Land of Birds.

If we include the ninjas hired and trained by the daimyo of the Land of Birds, then there are more than twenty people.

The Iwa ninja in the border town were recently transferred there to guard against the Land of Rain, according to the intelligence gathered; there are two squads in total.

Clearly, the Land of Rain was quick to act, and the Iwa ninja were no less swift in their response.

However, the two teams can only serve as an early warning system.

After listening to the intelligence report, Hoshino immediately assigned tasks: "First squad, come with me to the Daimyo's capital. Second and third squads, take charge of the Iwa ninja in the border town."

"Remember, from this moment on, you are Rain Ninja."

"We must eliminate all the Iwa ninja in the border town."

The numerous Root ninja nodded in agreement: "Understood!"

"Set off!"

Upon receiving Xingxia Xiu's order, numerous Root ninjas immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear from their original positions.

Two squads headed to the border town, one squad headed to the daimyo capital, and Hoshino Hide followed behind.

The Bird Country is not large; in just over an hour, Hoshino and his group of five arrived at the daimyo's residence.

Wearing the headband of a Rain Ninja, Hoshinobi Hide led his men straight into the Daimyo's mansion in the Land of Birds, without any attempt at concealment.

Inside the residence of a minister.

Hoshinobi arrived with his men and slit the throats of the two Iwa ninja before they could react.

These two Chunin are not worth mentioning.

After killing them all, they didn't stop and moved on to the next location.

After killing six Iwa ninja, Hoshino Hideyoshi led his men to the palace where the daimyo was located.

The Iwa ninja here are more vigilant and their quality is obviously higher.

Although caught off guard, they were killed without any resistance.

As a sharp warning sirens rang out, Xingxia Xiu opened her mouth and exhaled, causing a fierce gust of wind to rise.

A Root ninja nearby used Fire Release, and the whirlwind immediately transformed into a sea of ​​fire, sweeping towards the two Iwa ninjas.

Stone walls rose up one after another from the ground.

Rumble!

The fire wave collided with the stone wall, causing it to crack and then explode.

Immediately afterwards, a scream suddenly rang out.

However, three other Root ninjas suddenly attacked from the left and right, taking down the two Iwa ninjas.

shhhhhh!

Suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound rang out.

One after another, expanding rock bullets flew towards them.

The Root ninja who had just dealt with two Iwa ninjas immediately dodged away.

Xingxia Xiuyin used a knot, and when he opened his mouth, another stream of air transformed into a storm, shattering the flying rock bullets into dust.

The four Iwa ninja who suddenly appeared immediately dodged and hid behind the building.

Seeing this, Xingxia Xiu opened and closed her hands.

Instantly, the surrounding water vapor condensed and swirled.

Water escape - water rushes into waves!

Tobirama version!

The rapidly rotating water rises into the air and then surges forward.

However, the water flow was still blocked by the buildings, and it surged past on both sides in a divided manner.

But Xingxia Xiu suddenly opened his arms and then waved them in a cross shape.

The water that had been rushing past the sides of the building suddenly surged toward the center.

The four Iwa ninjas quickly leaped onto the roof, but as soon as they landed, a violent gust of wind swept over them.

Wind Release - Great Breakthrough!

Xingxia Xiu now has seven mouths. When he used Wind Release just now, he prepared three waves, but only used one wave. He did not release the other two waves.

The timing was so precise that the Iwa ninja didn't have time to form hand seals and was immediately swept away.

Four Root ninjas immediately pursued from both sides, killing two of them.

The remaining two Iwa ninja were rescued by the six Iwa ninja who had just arrived.

The latest novel is first published here!

Standing on the rooftop, Hoshinobi opened his mouth and unleashed another major breakthrough in Wind Release techniques on the eight Iwa ninja.

A tall wall rose from the ground, blocking the strong winds.

When the storm subsided, four Root ninjas charged in from the left and right, only to be forced back by a barrage of rock bullets.

Xingxia Xiu leaped forward, attempting to break through from the front, only to be met with a series of sharp stone pillars.

With a burst of air beneath his feet, Xingxia Xiu used the momentum to soar into the air, looking down from above. He drew a short sword with his left hand and hurled it with a whoosh, piercing through the body of an Iwa ninja.

Immediately afterwards, Hoshino Hide flipped over, head down and feet up, and swooped down at high speed, slamming a rock ninja into the ground with a loud bang.

He drew his dagger and pounced.

The clash of metal was deafening, sparks flew, and after three moves, another Iwa ninja had his throat slit by Hoshino Hideaki.

With the addition of the Sharingan with two tomoe, along with the explosive power of the Sky Step and the powerful targeted dash ability, Hoshino Shu's dual-sword close combat ability has been elevated to a new level.

After killing two people, Xingxia Xiu sheathed his short sword and raised one hand.

Group hypnosis!

Of the six Iwa ninja, four had drooping eyelids and moved slowly.

The other two were both Jonin. Realizing something was wrong, they immediately bit their tongues to stay alert and retreated.

But Xingxia Xiu rushed forward and caught up with an Iwa ninja jonin. Their eyes met, and the Iwa ninja jonin, who was still forming hand seals to break the genjutsu, suddenly stopped.

Xingxia Xiu swung his knife with his right hand, and a head rolled off, blood gushing out.

Meanwhile, screams of agony rose and fell.

The four Root ninja seized the opportunity and killed three Iwa ninja in succession.

In an instant, only one Jonin and one Chunin remained in the Iwa ninja group, who retreated repeatedly.

Xingxia Xiu led four people in pursuit.

Suddenly, the fleeing Iwa ninja chuuni screamed as a kunai pierced his body, sending him plummeting from the sky.

It turned out that the wooden clone that had been lying in wait had suddenly launched a sneak attack.

The last Iwa ninja reacted extremely quickly, dodging the suddenly appearing kunai, but he was also surrounded by Hoshinobi Hide and the others.

"You are not Rain Ninja!"

The Iwa ninja, his forehead covered in sweat, spoke.

Xingxia Xiu waved.

Four Root ninjas and their wood clones immediately pounced on them.

The Iwa ninja fought desperately, but they were no match for the Root members' combined attack and were quickly killed by the wood clone with a single strike.

"Captain, what's the next step?"

Hoshino Hide said calmly, "Of course, we should have the Daimyo of the Land of Birds announce to the entire ninja world that he has reached a cooperation agreement with the Amegakure and entrust all domestic missions to the Amegakure."

The daimyo of the Bird Country had long been controlled by the Wood Clone, and the orders had already been written.

"Rest for two hours. Head north to the border. If the Iwa ninjas move south into the Land of Birds, retreat immediately without engaging them."

Xingxia Xiu gave the order.

"clear!"

The four Root ninjas accepted the order.
