Chapter 69 [The Crow's Mouth Will Eventually Come True]

Ino lowered her head. For some reason, since she started this C-rank mission, Rock's figure always appeared in her mind.

It was as if Rock was always by her side.

"I'm fine, Asuma-sensei." The thick golden bangs covered half of her face. Ino absent-mindedly took out the daffodils around her waist.

The seeds that she accidentally picked up when she was a child have now grown into beautiful flowers.

But will this flower really remember the company during the seed period?

Probably not...

Maybe it will even think that I was annoying at that time.

It wasn't until the flowers bloomed around me that I realized that I was also a failure as a flower grower.

Ino sat in front of the carriage and became sad.

Nara Shikamaru looked at the flower thoughtfully, as if he had realized something, and then suddenly sighed.

"It's really troublesome."

He should not get married in the future.

"What? Is Ino hungry too?" Akimichi Choji hesitated for a moment, and then silently handed over the potato chips.

Asuma didn't say anything, but took a deep puff of his cigarette.

Young girls are sentimental.

Unlike him and Hong, one of them smokes and the other drinks, they are heartless and don't have so many things to do.

If only one person is left to miss each other, it would be too painful, not his style.

...

Underground gold exchange.

The sponsors of the gold exchange are complicated. Behind the gold exchange in the Land of Fire, there are also shadows of other four countries.

[Asuma Sarutobi, the current son of the Hokage, the Twelve Guardian Ninjas of the Land of Fire, the bounty is 35 million taels]

The gold exchange will not only mark the bounty, but also some ninjas will have recent dynamics, which are basically news released by spies from various countries.

[Asuma Sarutobi became the class ninja of Konoha a month ago. This morning, he got on a cargo carriage outside the Konoha Village, and the suspected destination is the Fire Temple]

'Did you bring three burdens? ’

A white-haired ninja holding a staff happened to see this message.

His name is Kazuma, and he was once one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. In the past, in the mutual opposition between the guardian ninjas, he believed that the Hokage was an unnecessary existence, and that the ninjas should be controlled by the Daimyo, so he became Asuma's enemy.

Kazuma then looked down and frowned when he found that Asuma's destination was the Fire Temple.

‘Will Asuma find Kong in the Fire Temple? ’

Kong was a pseudo-jinchuuriki made of the chakra released by the Nine-Tailed Fox during the Demon Fox Rebellion. He was one of his trump cards for the plan to destroy Konoha in the future.

The other trump card was the guardian ninjas in the four coffins in the Fire Temple. These four ninjas could release powerful ninjutsu - Thunder Release, Thunder Dream Thunderman, which could destroy Konoha in an instant.

These two trump cards were placed in the Fire Temple.

As long as he was well prepared, he could take them at any time.

Because Dilu is not smart, he can't find anything in the dark, but Sarutobi Asuma is not like that...

What's more, the Nine-Tails Chakra in Kong's body has once gone wild in the Fire Temple, so it is not impossible for Dilu to seek help from his old friend Asuma.

If Asuma's trip is to escort the goods, but is actually to investigate the pseudo Jinchuriki Kong, then it will be bad.

'It happened to be Asuma, the son of the Hokage...'

Hema hesitated. The legendary "strongest Hokage" Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen is still alive. Hema really has no confidence to resist the wrath of the Hokage after killing Asuma.

But now that Asuma is carrying three burdens, it may be a good time to collect the interest...

So either don't do it, or do it big!

It seems that the plan to destroy Konoha will be forced to move forward. Although the preparations are not sufficient, things are always so unpredictable.

"Don't move, don't blow." He Ma turned his head to look at the two people behind him. He narrowed his eyes slightly, worried that the underground gold exchange would be crowded, so he signaled to them with his hands: "Go and call Shang Buyuan, our plan must be advanced."

Time is tight. Asuma is riding in a carriage, which is not fast, and is far away from the Fire Temple. If he moves quickly, he should be able to steal the coffin before they come.

Then, he hurriedly left the underground gold exchange.

After they left, the man in the red cloud and black robe in the distance slowly turned around.

'The man just now used the secret hand gesture of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas of the Land of Fire...' He turned his head and looked at Asuma's bounty on the wall.

[Bounty amount: 35 million taels]

'Is it a vendetta? Maybe I can take advantage of it...'

"Hey, I've been waiting for you for too long." Another man in the red cloud and black robe shouted in the distance, with a forehead protector of the Mist Hidden Ninja on his forehead.

The voice interrupted Kakuzu's thoughts, causing him to pause in front of the bounty order, and the killing intent gradually emerged in his heart.

This was not the first time he killed the teammate assigned to him by the Akatsuki organization, but he had been warned by Konan before, so he was a little slow this time, letting this guy live a few more days.

A guy who doesn't understand the beauty of money, the only useful part of his body is his heart.

...

The next day.

The carriage was still moving forward.

If the ninjas were allowed to travel by themselves, they would be much faster.

The slow journey made Team 10 gradually relax their vigilance.

"Swoosh--"

Suddenly, a bird quickly flew over Team 10's head.

"Huh?" Asuma Sarutobi suddenly became alert.

A bird that carried a message? It was heading to Konoha from the direction of the Fire Temple? Did something happen at the Fire Temple?

Before Asuma Sarutobi could think about it, the ground around him suddenly began to collapse!

"Not good!" Asuma Sarutobi's face suddenly changed, and he immediately used the body-flickering technique to take Team 10 out of the collapsed ground. The carriage carrying the goods instantly fell into the cave.

But before he could land steadily, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

This is not an illusion, but an advanced earth escape technique, active transformation.

It is a ninjutsu that can easily change the terrain!

The caster can control the changes in the surrounding land at will.

The surrounding rock peaks bulged instantly, and then closed into a barrier, trapping Team 10 in it.

"Shikamaru! Ino! Choji! Quickly form a "pin" formation!"

"We're ambushed!"

Sarutobi secretly cursed himself for letting his guard down too much, and the old man's caution was indeed right.

This powerful earth escape technique must be performed by an earth escape master, and he is now with Team 10...

'Fortunately, I heard from the old man that two Anbu will follow...'

Thinking of this, Asuma breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment-

The four directions around him quickly rose up at the same time, each of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise gates! Relying on each other as a fulcrum, they quickly cooperated with the previous rock wall to trap Asuma and Team 10 in it.

"Barrier Gate Mutual Sealing Technique·Eight Gates Closing!"

The voice came from all directions.

"Asuma, let you, the son of the Hokage, be a rehearsal for destroying Konoha!"

Barrier Technique? !

Asuma's face changed suddenly. Now, even with the support of the Anbu, it is impossible to break through the barrier technique!

Is it really going to be here today?
