Master, please become the Hokage

Lying on Yamanaka Kei's back, Ringo Ayuri immediately understood everything.

It’s…the spiritual secret technique of the mountain clan.

That woman is probably finished.

"Close the team!!!"

Just then, shouts were heard.

After leaving behind many corpses, the Kirigakure ninjas began to retreat.

The Blood Mist Ninja, who had no team spirit at all, faced the overwhelmingly superior Sarutobi Ryo and Hinata Ruri in this forest environment. In the end, they were killed one by one.

So...taking a long-term view becomes the new command choice.

The Kirigakure ninja team began to shrink.

They were like sharks, biting the team from behind and not letting go, always waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow.

In this way, the two teams slowed down their movement speed, but still could not increase the distance.

After reuniting with the team, Sarutobi Ryo looked to his side: "Ruri..."

"The other side... there are still 30 people in total."

The girl with white eyes spoke calmly.

In a team of 40, with 10 people dead, the remaining team is still of astonishing size.

You should know that in the original work, when Nohara Rin was kidnapped and sealed into the Three-Tails to induce Obito to turn evil, Kirigakure only sent out 50 good fighters.

It is obvious that the drunkard's real intention is not to drink.

Ringo Ayuri's illness made the top management of Kirigakure think about changing leadership.

They made plans to make Black Hoe Thunder Fang the next successor.

And he was thinking of finding an opportunity to kill Ringo Ayuri.

Some people may wonder why the Kirigakure top brass didn't kill Ringo Ayuri directly, but instead took a roundabout approach.

The answer is actually quite simple.

Again.

——They want to eat people, but they pretend to be hypocritical and dare not do it openly.

Chapter 36. Five Seal Barriers!

After letting Liuli, who has the best eyesight, be responsible for monitoring the other party's movements at all times.

Sarutobi Ryo walked over here.

On the grass, Ringo Ayuri was placed down and Nono was treating her.

As the Yang-ton chakra of the medical ninjutsu entered the human body and the results were fed back, things were far worse than Nono had imagined.

"What's wrong with her?" Sarutobi Ryo asked.

"It's not a terminal illness..."

Nono shook his head.

"It's just that the illness has been delayed for too long... Kirigakure ninjas are like this, they won't show weakness in front of their colleagues..."

Nono didn't even use the word "companion".

Because for the ninjas in the blood mist, there are no companions, only colleagues who work together.

Backstabbing is common.

However...their cannibalism also has rules, and they must follow the cannibalism rules set by the Third Mizukage, otherwise it would be a crime of rebellion.

"Being in that kind of environment, being watched all the time, I'm afraid... that's what caused her to delay her condition until she was critically ill."

If Ringo Ayuuri formed a gang, or was a high-ranking official in Kirigakure, it would be fine.

But according to the information, Ringo Ayuri has always been alone.

What will happen if a person fights alone? Just look at what happened to Hatake Sakumo and you will know.

"Yes." Sarutobi nodded, "Ms. Nono, if possible, please heal her."

Nono was slightly stunned, then something occurred to him: "Master Liang, are you planning to take advantage of the internal strife within Kirigakure?"

Yamanaka Hui: "???"

Unlike Yamanaka Kei who knew little about Kirigakure, Sarutobi Ryo and Nono both understood what this meant.

One of the rules of Kirigakure: If the previous Seven is still alive, the next successor must kill him or her in order to truly inherit the title of the Seven.

Nono thought that Sarutobi Ryo wanted to use Ringo Ayuri as bait to induce internal strife among the enemy.

Once Ringo Ayuri is cured, she and Kurochu Raiga will definitely fight to the death.

Because for Ringo Ayuri, taking back the knife was something she had to do.

For Kurochu Raiga, only by defeating Ringo Ayuri can he take the position of the next Seven.

They bite each other, and we, the fishermen, profit.

Sarutobi Ryo did not explain Nono's statement.

It’s not easy to say it directly in the current situation: Because I can’t stand the persecution of loyal and good people, I want to change the tragedy and save this woman.

The crime of treason is no small matter.

in addition......

Sarutobi Ryo glanced at the weakened Ringo Ayuri.

The system prompts are extremely clear.

[Mission Objective: Infuse Ringo Ayuri with the Will of Fire!]

[Mission Reward: Possibility of Ice Escape!]

"How long will it take to heal?" Sarutobi Ryo asked directly.

"At least three days."

Nono hesitated for a moment and gave an estimated time.

"But even if I recover initially, I'm afraid my combat effectiveness will still be very weak..."

Having said that, she glanced at the other side of the jungle again.

The enemy is watching closely and may rush over at any time.

By the time Black Hoe and Thunder Fang react, they will have to move and treatment will be delayed.

"Their target is Ringo Ayuri, so get your people out of here."

Sarutobi Ryo said casually to Nono.

On the surface, it means that those who are not allowed to take roots will die and waste their lives.

The actual intention is to get the people away so that they can do certain things more conveniently.

"Retreat separately..." Nono nodded without objection.

"As for us, I will use a barrier to encircle this place..."

Sarutobi Ryo took out five talismans.

Before Hei Chu Lei Ya could react, he could set up the barrier.

By then, the defensive power of the barrier will be enough to last for a long time.

Seeing these five talismans, Nono's eyes suddenly lit up: "Five Sealing Barriers?!"

......

the other side.

Hei Chu Lei Ya carried the prisoners and slowly reunited with his subordinates.

After hearing his subordinates' report, Black Hoe Thunder Fang nodded: "In the forest..."

He stared into the distance, his gaze seeming to penetrate everything.

Soon, Hei Chu Lei Ya's body began to tremble.

This strange behavior caused others to immediately start to retreat quietly.

because......

“Wu…wuwuwu…”

Hei Chu Lei Ya's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and tears suddenly flowed from his eyes.

"Ringo Ayuri, don't worry, I will hold a grand funeral for you!"

As he spoke, Hei Chu Lei Ya suddenly shrugged his shoulders and laughed softly.

Everyone looked at this scene of crying and laughing, with different expressions.

This is the blood mist, this is the land of blood mist.

Under the high-pressure policy of the Third Mizukage, the birth of lunatics and perverts was not uncommon.

For example, the Kaguya clan is full of fighting maniacs.

There are also many other ninjas in similar situations to Hei Chui Lei Ya.

"Lord Raiga, someone from Konoha has started to retreat!"

At this time, a subordinate in charge of investigation came to report.

After learning that Ringo Ayuri was staying where he was, Kurochu Raiga waved his hand, not caring about the pawn's escape: "Keep an eye on Ringo Ayuri. Let me interrogate this prisoner first!"

......

Several figures were running quickly in the forest.

Among them are ninjas with roots, as well as Sarutobi Ryo's shadow clones.

Five shadow clones, each holding a talisman, appeared in five directions of the jungle.

Sarutobi Ryo himself sat cross-legged on the ground, sensing the positions of the five talismans.

After confirming that the five shadow clones had arrived at the corresponding positions, Sarutobi Ryo began to cast the spell.

The five shadow clones simultaneously noticed the changes in the flow of the talisman chakra in their hands.

Then, they stretched out their hands at the same time and stuck the talisman on the place they thought was the most tricky and difficult to be discovered.

"Barrier...activate!"

hum!

Invisible chakra waves swept across the scene.

This scene was immediately noticed by the Kirigakure's perception ninja.

After all, the chakra changes caused by the activation of the barrier are extremely obvious signs.

"Five seals?"

Black Hoe Lei Ya frowned and looked into the depths of the jungle.

White ripples spread out visibly, and finally wrapped into a transparent, invisible barrier.

A big reason why the Whirlpool Country was destroyed was because the Uzumaki clan's sealing and barrier techniques were extremely disgusting.

Because things like barriers and seals have special functions, they usually use the weak to defeat the strong.

But many times, we can’t find a good way to deal with it.

You can only wait for the barrier to disappear on its own, or spend 10 times or even dozens of times the strength to break it by brute force, which is obviously not worth the effort.

Taking this into consideration, Kumogakure and Kirigakure tacitly annihilated the Uzumaki clan in the last war.
