Chapter 161 I Owe More

The center of the forest was full of potholes, and the ground looked like ravaged and crumpled paper.

Blood flowed from the twisted limbs and rotten flesh along the gullies on the ground, presenting a strange and bizarre color in the forest with twisted tree roots and fallen leaves.

"Ahem!"

The blue-haired Takinin, who was urgently treated for his injuries, woke up and lay on his back on the ground and spit out a mouthful of sticky dirty blood.

"Captain, you finally woke up!"

"Quick! Change people, my chakra is exhausted!"

A noisy "buzzing" sound came from his ears, and the warm current of the palm fairy technique flowed in his body. The blue-haired Takinin opened his eyes with some pain, and his fuzzy brain gradually became clear and sober.

"Huh!"

He suddenly widened his eyes and gasped, pushing away the Takinin who was treating him, looking at the mess around him with a ferocious expression: "Where is that traitor Kakuzu?! Ahem! And that damn big guy!"

The surrounding Takigakure ninjas looked at each other, and one of them lowered his head unwillingly and said: "Sorry, those two people are very familiar with the terrain of the Mountain Country, and they were thrown off when we chased them to the Mountain Country."

Hearing this, the blue-haired Takigakure ninja suddenly felt black in front of his eyes, and forced to swallow the blood that surged up his throat.

They lost so many people along the way in the pursuit, and they were about to catch the damn traitor, but they were intercepted by a guy who appeared out of nowhere.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

I'm afraid it will be difficult to encounter such an opportunity in the future!

"Captain, what should we do next?"

The other Takigakure ninjas were obviously unwilling to be robbed of their spoils in front of them.

"Nonsense!" The blue-haired Takigakure's handsome face was distorted, and he roared, "Of course I'm chasing..."

Boom! !

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden explosion in the distance.

A loud noise from far to near made the ground tremble, the bushes vibrated and scattered leaves, and the pool of blood also rippled.

At the moment of the explosion and the shock, the Takigakure people who shouted for revenge all jumped onto the nearest tree beside them, and then shrank their heads and looked under the tree, just like a group of frightened monkeys.

But when they looked down from the tree as if they were facing a great enemy, they only saw their captain with a pale face.

After confirming again and again that no monster fell from the sky, the Takigakure ninjas, who were sweating coldly, breathed a sigh of relief.

There was nothing they could do.

The cruelty and brutality of that monster left them with such a deep impression that they all had PTSD.

"The explosion came from over there..."

Everyone looked up, the dim morning light shone on their faces, and countless birds took off.

Although it was difficult to see clearly in the distance due to the distance, the large black smoke was still reflected in their eyes.

There is no doubt that it was the smoke from the explosion.

"They have already started over there!"

Knowing that it was not the time to settle personal grudges, the blue-haired Takinin gritted his teeth and stood up and ordered: "Leave two teams to continue looking for Kakuzu's traces, and the others will go with me to destroy Yangyan Village."

"Yes!"

"And..." As if thinking of something, a trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of the blue-haired Takinin, "That strange big guy like a monster, his weakness must be above the neck!"

Too obvious.

The wounds on his body did not defend at all, only blocking the first kunai and detonating talisman, and the last knife he cut on the neck.

This is simply arrogance.

"You will pay the price for your arrogance!" The blue-haired Takinin said with a distorted and hideous face.

——————————

Mountain Country, a thousand meters away from Kagerou Village.

"Is this the minefield set up by those guys from Kagerou Village?"

Looking at his men who had been blown to pieces in the distance, the black-haired Takinin who led the frontal assault had an extremely ugly expression. He grabbed the collar of the sensing ninja beside him and shouted: "Asshole! Didn't you say there was no trap?"

This unreliable bastard almost killed them all!

"I, I didn't see it."

The Takigakure ninja in charge of sensing broke out in a cold sweat and said in panic: "I really didn't sense any detonating tags there!"

The black-haired Takinin turned his head to look at the explosion. There was only a dense forest in front of him, and he couldn't see or sense any traps.

But when the two teams exploring the way in front stepped into the forest, after a loud "boom", the two teams that inexplicably triggered the trap were blown to death on the spot.

Several ninjas more than ten meters away from them were knocked over by the impact. Although one unlucky guy avoided the shock wave dozens of meters away, he was hit by the flying debris and howled on the ground with his hands covering his abdomen.

To be honest, it would be better to die.

Because of this half-dead situation, people have to take risks to carry them.

Unfortunately, they can't see where the detonating talisman traps are.

"..."

The black-haired Taki ninja frowned, formed seals with both hands to condense water attribute chakra, and swung the water in his hand: "Water Style·Water Whip!"

The whip condensed by water was swung out and tied up the injured Taki ninja.

But just when he wanted to pull him over.

Swish! Swish!

A sharp whistle that broke through the air suddenly came, and the black-haired Taki ninja looked up suddenly.

I saw countless kunai shot from a distance, with something wrapped around the tail.

That was... detonating talismans! Nearly a thousand detonating talismans!

After being lit, it left a trail of meteors in the sky, which looked brilliant and gorgeous but also very deadly.

"Retreat!!"

The black-haired Taki-nin's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately cast a body-blinking technique with his hands.

boom! boom! !

In the first wave, nearly a thousand kunai with detonating talismans were shot, which was almost equivalent to the power of a forbidden technique. The fire escape landed near the Takigakure ninja, and then there was the second wave, and the third wave...

"ah!!"

Loud noises, fire, smoke, stumps, and wailing all played the main melody of death at this moment.

Without perception ninjutsu, it would be impossible to see what was going on on the battlefield shrouded in smoke and fire. In fact, you knew without seeing clearly that the Takigakure ninjas approaching the minefield were basically doomed.

No one could survive such a terrifying bombardment of covering detonators.

"Damn it! Damn it! The sound of fighting over there really alerted Yangyan Village and made them take precautions in advance!!"

The black-haired Taki-nin stepped back hundreds of meters in time without being affected. He gritted his teeth and looked at the thick black smoke rising in front of him and said in a cold voice: "Even if the vitality is severely damaged after the battle with Konoha, do you still have so many detonating talismans in storage? "

They originally wanted to take advantage of the dark moon and high winds to launch a raid on Yangyan Village tonight, but a sudden huge roar in the distance disrupted their plan.

Now, we are indeed in trouble.

Who would just throw the detonating talisman as beans?

Thousands of detonating talismans can be used by a hundred-man army, but now they are thrown out by Yang Yan Village. It is simply crude and extremely wasteful!

"If I know who disrupted the plan, I will definitely pull out his head!"

The black-haired Taki-nin's tone was extremely resentful. He looked at the murderous jungle and said coldly: "Give me some hero water and flood all those trees with water escape! If it is a waterproof detonating talisman, then use it Fire escape and earth escape!"

If there is no way, then forcefully create a way!

Although the distance of more than a thousand meters is a bit long, they can do it, it's just a matter of the time it takes.

At this moment, someone in the high house in Yangyan Village obviously understands this.

"If this continues, we won't be able to hold on for long."

Looking out the window at the sky illuminated red by the firelight, Buzhou frowned in annoyance.

As early as last night, he already knew that an outsider had broken in and stepped into the surrounding minefields. He just walked five hundred meters carrying the trap, which could be said to have passed through half of the minefields.

So he had already prepared for the battle.

But what I didn't expect was that it wasn't some bounty organization or group, but people like Takigakure.

That formation was obviously planning to wipe out their Yangyan Village in one go, right?

The place they were in was a small basin. Once Takigakure's ninjas crossed that minefield, they would most likely become the turtle in the urn.

"Do you want to escape? No, although those bastards in Takigakure can only break through the minefield, but it can still be done by sealing off the entire Kagero Village and the minefield. When the supplies cannot come in, they will be Trapped to death here."

Bu Zhou thought about the gains and losses in his mind, and pondered: "So it is definitely not possible to escape together. Each of us can carry a part of the detonating talisman reserve and escape separately. This way, some of us may survive."

"However, now that I think about it, the guy last night, with his reckless style, doesn't seem to be from Takigakure Village."

Buzhou is still extremely rational, and although he is full of reluctance, he is still able to calm down.

But, just the next moment.

He suddenly looked towards the darkness in the corner and shouted attentively: "Get out!"

Boom! Boom!

After the words fell, the originally subtle heartbeat was no longer concealed, and sounded like a drum in the shadow.

Bu Zhou's tightened eyes narrowed, and his heart suddenly became solemn.

But all of this disappeared in the next moment.

"Ah haha, it seems that I haven't done well in the breath masking class, even though I don't like hiding in the first place."

A carefree and somewhat distressed childish voice reached his ears, and Buzhou couldn't help but be startled when he saw the figure walking out of the shadows.

"Although it is rude to make a request when we first meet, can you please not tell others about this?"

Yahiko honestly walked out with his hands raised, showing with a hearty smile that he was not a threat, clasping his hands together and begging: "If the boss finds out, I will definitely be punished by him, so please, please."

He no longer hid, and declared his existence openly and openly.

"A kid?"

Bu Zhou's narrowed eyes widened slightly, he took a deep look at the sword behind him, and said coldly: "Who are you?"

From his poor perspective, there was no sign of any action from the kid in front of him. His figure was reflected in those sincere brown eyes, but it made him feel like a blade was already pointed at his vitals.

"Thank you for not taking action directly." Yahiko looked harmlessly relieved and then smiled, "We are here to help you, we have a common enemy."

"...us?" Buzhou paused and asked.

Instead of mocking the kid for overestimating his abilities, he grasped the two words in that sentence.

"That's right, it's 'us'."

Yahiko grinned and nodded, confirming his statement.

As he finished speaking, in the dark corner he walked out of, figures one after another walked out.

No, not "people".

Looking at the faces of those dark figures, Bu Zhou's pupils shrank slightly.

He knew those weren't really "people".

Because their faces were all pale, and their exposed claws were slender and sharp.

Their bodies were covered by black robes, and the faint light that illuminated their pale cheeks in the shadows came from their bright scarlet eyes.

In contrast, Yahiko, who stood in front of the group of black shadows, was as gentle as a winter day in the dark.

He was the shining sun that someone had sent down.

——————————

After an unknown amount of time, his consciousness gradually became clear.

When Kakuzu woke up again, there was some noise in his ears, and someone was walking around.

Although his consciousness had awakened, he could not open his eyes.

He could only hear vague sounds, as if there was a barrier between them.

"What a magical creation this is!"

"Does it look like a parasitic worm?"

"No, no, it's more like a symbiotic relationship."

"Lord Kumokawa's blood looks even more magical."

A curious exclamation came from his ears, and Kakuzu finally opened his eyes.

He saw strange black silk threads in front of him, beating like a living heart, and he seemed to be curled up in a "cocoon" made of black threads.

"What is this?" Realizing this, Kakuzu's expression was a little surprised.

As his consciousness gradually became clearer, his control over his body improved like ice and snow melting. He could feel that his body, which had been dead for decades, was blooming, and now it was awakened to life with the violent contraction and expansion of the heart.

Something had happened to his body...

Kakuzu couldn't help but feel horror and doubt in his heart about this change.

Compared to the undead who used to be emotionally indifferent, he now seemed to be more emotional.

But the question now was not this, but where he was.

"Huh!"

Kakuzu stretched out his palm close to the "shell" made of black lines in front of him, and with a slight force, a force far stronger than expected broke out within half a centimeter.

Crack! Crack!

The terrifying force that was enough to shake the ground was transmitted to the black line, and the entire black line shell bulged as if it had been hit hard, and cracks instantly covered every place within sight.

With a crisp sound, the black line shell finally broke, and he suddenly sat up from it.

Just a simple action, but countless tiny sounds were heard, which were the black lines that pierced dozens of places all over his body being pulled out.

But nothing came out of the wound, only the black thread coming out of the tip could be seen, and the huge wound healed almost instantly.

"This feeling..." All this made Kakuzu, who was staring at his body in a daze, look surprised.

"It seems that you feel very good, Mr. Kakuzu."

The familiar gentle voice came from the side, and Kakuzu looked up and saw the deep blue pupils.

But under the reflection of the clear eyes like a mirror, his eyes were no longer lifeless dark green, but lively light green vertical pupils.

"..."

Kakuzu was silent for a moment, slowly exhaled, and said in a hoarse voice: "I was actually saved by you, a little kid, and..."

He was not unfamiliar with this feeling of change.

It was this monster-like body that had been pursuing what it longed for.

- Vitality, a "vitality" far stronger than the heart.

Just like the plum blossoms blooming in the snow in winter, the "blood" like burning magma was running in the body.

Although I don't know how he did it, doesn't this mean he owes more?

It's really troublesome.
