CH 227

This person's voice echoed in front of Konohagakure's entrance and clearly transmitted into the ears of everyone near Konohagakure's entrance.

Gasshi!

The expressions of the Konoha Military Police Force's group changed greatly. They looked at the man with especially cautious eyes, and they all assumed the posture of facing a mortal enemy.

This Gasshi name.

It was no longer a cold name.

It has long been resounding through the Konohagakure as the ninjas of Kumogakure invaded Konohagakure.

In the ears of the civilians, it was a familiar existence.

Not to mention that the two people in front of him were people of the Konoha Military Police Force.

You have to know...

The reason why Gasshi was so famous in Konohagakure was that he had killed Sekai of the Uchiha clan.

"You don't have to be nervous."

The thin figure next to the tall ninja who called himself Gasshi said lightly. His tone was light, as if there was no emotion, giving people a feeling of a robot.

Suddenly.

This person stretched out his hand, and a few explosive tags appeared in his hand.

"All of you can go and die now."

This voice rang out.

Explosive tags flew out of his hands and flew toward these people at an extremely fast speed.

Then.

The two Konoha Military Police Force ninjas held a kunai in their hands and throw it toward the explosive tags.

The Uchiha Clan was generally more proficient in Ninja Throwing Technique.

The explosive tags flew out from this person's hand.

It was instantly pierced through by the kunai.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosive tags that were pierced through by kunai exploded in the air.

A series of sounds were heard.

These explosive tags exploded in such a simple manner.

They did not have any effect at all.

"???"

This made the two Konoha Military Police Force stunned for a moment, and small question marks popped up in their heads.

'He was so fierce when he said those words just now.'

'Just this...'

'It directly exploded.'

'Is it only to this extent?'

"Can you stop embarrassing yourself?"

At this time, the well-built man who called himself Gasshi picked up the person who had just thrown the explosive tags next to him and clamped it under the armpit. His relaxed posture was like holding a chicken.

"We are going to break out now. We are not playing here at all. Don't mess with them."

The ninja who called himself Gasshi said in a loud voice. His tone was as if he was deliberately telling the people around him what their goal was.

Then.

Gasshi carried the person next to him and directly rushed in the direction of Konohagakure's main entrance.

In an instant.

A lightning current appeared on Gasshi's body, which was full of lightning chakra. He was using Kumogakure's lightning release ninjutsu.

Only...

This lightning chakra looked very exaggerated.

But in fact, there was not much effect.

It was just a simulation of the appearance.

This Gasshi.

It was not the real Gasshi.

It was formed by Aoba's advanced paper clone.

It wasn't just Gasshi.

There was also the person who threw out the explosive tags. It was also Aoba's transformed advanced paper clone.

It wasn't that Aoba didn't know how to use the explosive tags.

He simply wanted to add some noise to this place so that Konohagakure's people would notice the movement here.

Just as he expected.

First, he swaggered in front of Konohagakure's main entrance; then he claimed that he was Gasshi. Finally, he ignited the explosive tags.

This series of actions.

It had already attracted the attention of many of Konohagakure's people.

Instantly.

Aoba's sprinting speed was directly displayed to the extreme. He also used Chōkeijūgan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique) on his body.

Swish!

Almost in an instant.

Aoba rushed out before Konoha Military Police Force, and other guards could react.

"Gasshi ran away!"

A ninja from the Akimichi clan suddenly roared. They could not catch up with Aoba's speed at all. They quickly chased him two steps, but they did not even see his shadow.

"You stay here and guard the entrance. I will report this to Akaru-sama!" The person from Konoha Military Police Force immediately said to his companions. Then, he quickly ran in the direction of the Konoha Military Police Force headquarters.

All of a sudden.

Because of these sudden changes.

There were a lot of people gathered at Konohagakure's main entrance. Many people came to see what was going on, but no one could catch up with Aoba.

However.

There was a piece of information that was spread out.

It was that Kumogakure Gasshi had run away.

"Chase him!"

At this time, another figure ran toward Konohagakure's main entrance. He was also wearing Anbu's clothes and a mask. He quickly chased in the direction where Gasshi disappeared.

"Who are you?"

"Hello?"

"Don't run!"

"Wait..."

"Who are you?"

The Konoha Military Police Force's guard was stunned when he saw an Anbu run out again.

These people were all very fast.

Another very sudden break-out.

They saw it, but their bodies could not catch up.

Not only that.

Right now, they still had no way to leave their posts and chase after him.

"I..."

This Konoha Military Police Force ninja felt that he was a piece of trash at this moment. He actually allowed someone to leave in front of him.

Even he had no way to explain this situation to himself.

At this moment.

A deep sense of frustration rose in his heart.

"My name is Satsuma Rentaro. I'm going to chase this Kumogakure now. Hurry up and send someone to chase after him!"

Aoba's advanced paper clone transformed into the appearance of Rentaro and imitated the latter's voice as he shouted towards the entrance behind him.

Not only could his voice reach the ears of Konoha Military Police Force and the other guarding ninjas.

It could also reach the ears of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen hiding in the woods not far away from the barrier outside the entrance.

For a moment.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen, who Biwa Jūzō led, suddenly became nervous.

They all recognized that it was Rentaro's voice.

They all understood that the plan was about to begin.

Everyone began to wait.

A moment later.

Two figures appeared one after the other at the place where they were lying in ambush.

Suddenly.

The figure in front stopped and turned to look at the figure behind him.

"Satsuma Rentaro, you still chased after me. I let you live. You don't know how to cherish it at all!"

"Gasshi, return Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu to me!" Rentaro said with a cold and dignified face.

"Return it to you?"

Gasshi sneered and looked at Rentaro with disdain. He said indifferently, "The Second Hokage Senju Hasirama created this Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu. It doesn't belong to you, Kirigakure. How can it be returned to you?"

"You took the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu from me. It belongs to me!" Rentaro didn't give in and argued.

"You said it yourself. This Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu was snatched away by me, so it is mine. Things are like this. Whoever gets it will have it. Do you have any objections?" Gasshi said coldly. The smile on his face became even more disdainful.

The dialogue between "Rentaro" and "Gasshi" was clearly transmitted to the ears of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen lying in ambush nearby.

When they saw this scene, everyone held their weapons in their hands and was ready to attack.

"Jūzō, shall we go?"

Suikazan Fuguki asked Jūzō from the side. His face was full of anger, especially when Gasshi said that whoever got it could get it. He was so angry that he was about to grab it.

"Don't worry. We are waiting for Rentaro's signal. He hasn't said the secret code yet. He might have plans. Let's wait and see."

Jūzō stopped Suikazan Fuguki. His eyes were fixed on Aoba, who had changed into Rentaro. He was waiting for Aoba to shout out the secret code.

"Understood!"

Suikazan Fuguki nodded. He held the Samehada in his hand. His eyes were slowly turning red, and he looked at Gasshi with killing intent. He wanted to kill this arrogant guy directly.

Not only Suikazan Fuguki but even the other people were looking at Gasshi with cold and murderous eyes.

They were not good people to begin with. Everyone's hands were stained with the blood of countless people.

Now that they had encountered such a thing.

They were even more unhappy.

After the crazy output of Aoba the night before, they now understood the significance of the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu.

In their eyes.

Gasshi had not simply taken away the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu.

Instead, he had taken away Kirigakure's bright future.

This could be said to be great sorrow.

"Don't forget what Rentaro said. We have to focus on the task. As long as we get the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu, we will leave immediately. Don't get entangled with Gasshi too much. We only want things. We are not here to make enemies!"

Jūzō felt the killing intent of the other people. As the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, they were very familiar with each other. Just a little change in aura made him feel that something was wrong with his companions.

"Understood."

The others, including Suikazan Fuguki, were stunned for a moment, then nodded reluctantly.

Suikazan Fuguki once again focused his attention on the Rentaro that Aoba's advanced paper clone had transformed into.

"When will Rentaro say the signal?"

Suikazan Fuguki muttered in confusion. He felt that this was the best time. Could it be that there was a better opportunity?

...

Right now, on the field.

Aoba's three advanced paper clones were all present.

What changed were three different characters and identities.

It was a completely self-directed act.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist was his audience.

Apart from them.

There were also some random audiences, that was, those people from Konohagakure.

Aoba specially arranged a signal for the seven of them last night.

That signal was not used to call the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to act.

On the contrary, it was the exact opposite.

That signal was used to keep the Seven Ninja Swordsmen from acting.

Aoba continuously gave the Seven Ninja Swordsmen a concept through caution, situation, and other reasons. Before hearing the signal, don't take action until you hear the signal, and everything was for the bigger picture.

Because of this.

Once they accepted this concept.

Before Aoba said the signal.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen could act as his audience and watch him perform the whole story.

This was a very important link.

Suppose Aoba had not set up the signal. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen suddenly rushed out; then, everything would easily fall short.

Aoba's three advanced paper clones all felt the gaze of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. They knew that these seven people were already waiting here, quietly waiting for the signal to be said.

Now things were easy to handle.

Aoba's three advanced paper clones looked at each other. In the eyes of the seven people, it looked like they were confronting each other. But in fact, they exchanged a look and understood that they were going to start to take out the plot that they had planned beforehand.

"Gasshi-sama, it can be said that there is no benefit for your Kumogakure to take away the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu. You can give this thing to our Kirigakure. In the future, we, Kirigakure, will forever become friends with Kumogakure."

Rentaro put on a sincere attitude. It seemed that he wanted to solve it in a friendly way through negotiation.

This scene fell into the eyes of the seven people.

Even though they were a little anxious and impatient, they understood that doing so was indeed the best choice.

Just like the impression Rentaro gave them the day before.

This person was someone who could bend and move freely to achieve his goal.

If they directly used the method of snatching, they would inevitably clash with Gasshi. In order to avoid the matter being exposed, they needed to kill Gasshi.

But if they could get the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu in a peaceful and friendly way with Gasshi, not only would they avoid the possibility of being discovered in killing Gasshi, but they would also have a powerful ally like Kumogakure.

They calmly analyzed.

It was still Rentaro's current choice that was the most appropriate.

However.

This kind of method required him to put down his face.

Ordinary people simply did not have that shrewdness and simply could not hold it in, but Rentaro could!

For a moment.

The eyes of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen changed again when they looked at Aoba. They were even more convinced that Aoba was their Kirigakure's future and could lead Kirigakure to a higher peak.

If such a leader were to lead Kirigakure forward, there would be no need to worry about development!

"Allies?"

After hearing Rentaro's words, a thick look of disdain appeared on Gasshi's face. From his expression, it seemed that he did not put Kirigakure in his eyes at all.

"Rentaro, I'm not afraid to tell you that we, Kumogakure, don't put Kirigakure's people in our eyes at all. And don't think that you don't know what you have done!"

Gasshi's voice became louder and louder as if he was afraid that others could not hear him, especially the ninjas of Kirigakure who were hiding in the dark.

After that.

Gasshi put down the ninja who was in his arm.

The two of them looked in Rentaro's direction.

"According to our agreement, Kirigakure sent the Seven Ninja Swordsmen to attack Konohagakure, but what about them?"

Gasshi's tone was full of questions. Anyone could clearly feel the blame in his words.

"Don't think that I don't know anything. Did you say something to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen? They didn't attack Konohagakure just now!"

Gasshi narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes flashing with coldness. The dissatisfaction in his tone was getting stronger and stronger, almost overflowing from his voice.

Some people were naturally annoying when they spoke.

Just the opening of his mouth was enough to make people very uncomfortable.

This was exactly what Gasshi was feeling right now.

The eyes of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen were all fixed on Gasshi. Everyone's hands were tightly gripping the hilt of the ninja blade in their hands. Their chests were heaving up and down. All of them wanted to go up and give Gasshi a good beating.

However...

They all held back because of the big picture.

"I was indeed the one who told the seven of them."

Rentaro was very frank, and there was nothing to hide in his words. He directly admitted this matter.

"The seven of them are the very elite forces of us, Kirigakure. I don't want them to fall into this trap that is obviously a trap. That's why I am standing here to discuss this with you. I hope that you can give the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu to us, Kirigakure. In return, we can attract the elite forces of Konohagakure for you, Kumogakure, so that you can go and save your Anbu Leader, Hari, more easily." Rentaro said slowly. He spoke clearly, and he persuaded Gasshi with reason and emotion.

His words also reached the ears of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

When the Seven Ninja Swordsmen heard that Rentaro directly admitted this matter, they were still a bit nervous.

However, when they heard the latter part.

They could not help but give Rentaro a thumbs up in their hearts again.

Rentaro's train of thought was simply too clear.

It was reasonable and well-founded.

It was convincing.

The performance that Aoba had simulated had completely conquered the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, making them respect this spy called Rentaro from the bottom of their hearts.

"Bullsh * t!"

Gasshi roared angrily. This explosive voice instantly broke all the beautiful expectations and fantasies of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

"If not for you meddling in other people's business."

"If you just let the Seven Ninja Swordsmen go in and attack directly."

"I already rescued Hari-sama last night."

"Now you actually dare to mention this matter to me."

"Do you still have any shame?"

Gasshi said coldly. From his expression, he had never intended to talk nicely to Rentaro from the beginning.

"Didn't you want the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu?"

When Gasshi said this, he suddenly revealed a cruel smile. His right hand reached into his bosom and directly took out a scroll.

The moment the scroll appeared.

In an instant, it caught all the eyes of the seven people.

The strength of each person holding a ninja blade increased a bit.

This feeling was like a hungry wolf pack seeing food-stained with blood.

Their eyes began to shine with green light.

"This is the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu. You ruined my good thing. Do you believe that I will tear this Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu apart in front of you?" Gasshi said with a cold smile. As he spoke, he made a move to tear the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu apart.

"Calm down!"

Rentaro immediately raised his hands, palms facing Gasshi. It looked like he was telling Gasshi that he was not in any danger.

"Calm down!"

Rentaro's voice rang out once again. This voice clearly entered the ears of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

For a moment.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen suddenly realized.

Rentaro's words were not directed at Gasshi in front of him. Instead, it was directed at them, telling them not to act rashly.

Suddenly.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen stopped what they were doing.

"Gasshi, since you have already taken out the Scroll of Water Release Ninjutsu, it means that we still have something to talk about. If you destroy this thing, it won't do you any good. Why don't we talk about the benefits you can get..." Rentaro said clearly.

Unconsciously.

Even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen did not realize it.

Their emotions had already been led away by Rentaro and Gasshi in front of them.

Their thoughts were on the mental frame that Aoba had imposed on them the night before as if a rule had formed that restricted them.

Within this rule.

They received a strong psychological hint.

It seemed that the Rentaro in front of them was someone extremely important to Kirigakure.

And that Gasshi was the culprit that caused all of this.
