CH 252

Brei stared at the scene in front of him in a daze. He stared blankly at the place where the battle had just happened. He did not know how to describe his feelings.

It was over just like that?

All of them ran away?

Brei was baffled.

He had no idea why Kirigakure ninjas wanted to attack them, nor did he know what kind of performance Gasshi was doing, who had yet to return.

Throughout the entire process.

Everything was strange.

Even now, he still wasn't clear about what had just happened.

"Brei-sama, now that the outpost has been destroyed, what should we do?" A Kumogakure ninja came over and asked Brei.

"We must rebuild one as soon as possible!" Brei said in a deep voice. If only ninjas were here there were no problems, they could live anywhere at any time. However, the staff officers of the envoy group were not like them. They still needed a place to rest.

"Yes!"

After hearing Brei's explanation, this ninja immediately nodded, turned around, and returned in the direction of the other Kumogakure ninjas.

They join forces and go together to the woods to collect wood and stone, and rebuild the outpost.

"Brei-sama!"

Right at this moment, another Kumogakure ninja ran over to Brei with a bewildered expression on his face.

"What happened?"

Brei asked with a slight frown. He discovered that after the attack earlier, these subordinates all seemed to be in a rush. They looked like fools and only knew how to shout.

"We found two Konohagakure ninjas in the forest over there!" The ninja immediately said.

"Konohagakure ninja?"

Brei narrowed his eyes slightly.

He suddenly felt very strange.

"Are you sure it's Konohagakure ninja and not Kirigakure's?" Brei asked the ninja again. He felt that either the ninja in front of him had said something wrong or this thing had become even more complicated.

"Yes, yes, Brei-sama, it is a Konohagakure ninja. Their foreheads are all wearing Konohagakure forehead protectors. From their dressing, they should be Konohagakure Anbu," the ninja said.

"Konohagakure Anbu?!" After hearing this, the doubts in Brei's heart became even stronger. He immediately nodded and said, "Take me to have a look."

"Yes!"

This Kumogakure ninja immediately nodded and took the lead to walk to the side.

Brei followed behind this Kumogakure ninja.

A few minutes later.

The two of them arrived under a tree.

There were already people guarding this place.

Everyone was waiting for Brei to come and make a decision.

"Brei-sama, they are on the tree!"

The ninja who led Brei over raised his hand and pointed directly at the top of the tree.

Instantly.

Brei followed the direction of the ninja's finger and looked toward the tree top.

"Hiss..."

Brei immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. It was not important if he did not take a look. He was shocked when he saw that the two of them were covered in all kinds of paper tags. There were all kinds of different symbols on the paper tags.

"What the hell is this?"

Brei's eyes became cautious. From his perspective, the two Konohagakure ninjas on the tree looked like they were stuck to the tree by these paper tags.

Most importantly...

Brei discovered something that shocked him the most.

The chests of the two Konohagakure ninjas rose and fell according to a fixed rhythm. They still had heartbeats. They didn't look like they were unconscious, but more like they were asleep.

"There's a problem!"

Brei immediately realized that there was a problem. Normally, such a phenomenon would not happen.

"Wait a minute..."

"No one should act rashly!"

"I'll ask the staff officer to come over and take a look!"

"I can't decide about this kind of thing..."

Brei had not recovered from the sneak attack just now. Now that something like this had happened, he felt that his brain was a little insufficient. He needed someone to help him out.

Right now, he had no way to make a decision, let alone give them instructions.

Instantly.

Brei immediately walked in the direction of the envoy group at the Kumogakure outpost.

Not long after.

Brei walked to the position of Kumogakure envoy group.

The staff officers in the envoy group were all wrapped in towels and gathered in front of a bonfire, warming themselves up together.

Their clothes were hung on a rack and placed beside the bonfire to be dried. It was obvious that they wanted to quickly evaporate the water on it and recover to a dry state as soon as possible.

Brei walked to the edge of the bonfire. He could clearly see that the faces of these staff officers were not very good. Their face was pale and their cheeks were red. It seemed that they were about to catch a cold.

Through the changes in their expressions.

Brei faintly felt that these staff officers were experiencing some pain and suffering.

"Advisor-sama!"

Brei immediately braced himself and looked at the leader of Kumogakure's envoy group, his tone was full of respect.

"We found two Konohagakure ninjas hanging on the trees near the outpost. Now they are still alive. Things are relatively difficult to deal with. Please decide for us, Advisor-sama!"

Brei was well aware of his own problem. It was reasonable to ask if he understood or not. Therefore, in this special situation, he immediately found the Kumogakure Advisor who had just come here with the other staff officer.

"What do you mean?"

The leader of this envoy group, the Kumogakure Advisor, stared at Brei with a puzzled face. There was a hint of impatience between his eyebrows. He did not understand what Brei meant.

Why are you talking about two Konohagakure ninjas?

What do you mean?

This Kumogakure Advisor was extremely depressed. He had just come here when he suddenly choked on a stomach full of water. Now that he had just recovered a little, his body was still in a state of discomfort. Something already happened?

"That's right..."

Brei scratched his head. He also found that there might be something wrong with his expression. The Kumogakure Advisor in front of him did not understand what was going on, so he continued, "Advisor-sama, come with me to take a look and you will know!"

"You want me to go over like this?" The Advisor looked down at the towel wrapped around his body and said grumpily as he glared at Brei.

"Yes!"

Brei did not get the Advisor's dissatisfaction. He immediately nodded. He really did not feel that there was any problem with it. After all, the people in this outpost were all men, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Besides...

You are wrapped up here.

Go over there and still wrapped.

What's the difference!

"Come with me!"

Brei directly waved to the Advisor. Now he was still thinking about the matter of the two Konohagakure ninjas. He felt that there was something wrong with it, but he could not tell exactly where the problem was. He needed someone who could speak and could think of a way to help him think about it.

"???"

When Kumogakure Advisor saw that Brei seemed to be leading the way, a lot of question marks appeared in his head.

What the hell?

Can't understand what you're talking about?

For a moment.

He had a feeling that a scholar would not be able to reason when he met a soldier.

Forget it!

This Advisor knew that he could not hide anymore. He could not help but grab the towel on his body with both hands and wrap it around his waist tightly, afraid that it would be awkward if a gust of wind blew.

Then, he strode forward and caught up with Brei.

The two of them walked in the direction of the tree one after the other. No one spoke.

Brei did not speak because he was still thinking about this matter in his heart. His brain could not imagine why hung a Konohagakure ninja on the tree. And who did it?

His head was full of question marks.

So much so that he did not even bother to think about Kumogakure Advisor behind him.

As for the Kumogakure Advisor...

He did not speak at all and completely ignore this rough person in front of him!

A moment later.

Brei brought the Kumogakure Advisor to the side of the tree.

Then, like the ninja who found him just now, he led the Advisor beside him and pointed at the two Konohagakure Anbu on the tree.

"Advisor-sama, look. It's these two Anbu. They are obviously breathing, but they are asleep. What should we do now?" Brei said in a deep voice.

"There really are two people hanging on the tree!"

This Kumogakure Advisor widened his eyes and stared at the two Konohagakure Anbu on the tree in shock.

After a short period of shock.

His face began to return to normal. He frowned slightly and his eyes flashed with thoughts.

"According to the current information, these two people hanging on the tree are Konohagakure Anbu. Then the person who did this behind the scenes must not be Konohagakure's people!"

The Advisor's eyes flashed with wisdom. He first eliminated the correct answer and then began to make follow-up judgments based on the premise that there was no correct answer.

"According to the location of this tree, tomorrow is the time when our envoy group entered Konohagakure. It is obvious that someone is maliciously framing us, Kumogakure. Now, once this tree is discovered by Konohagakure's people, it will definitely be blamed on us, Kumogakure!"

The Advisor's thoughts began to become clear. As long as the first step was determined, the following matter would become clearer and clearer.

"That's right! That's right! That must be it! They are trying to frame us!" Brei nodded repeatedly. He felt that it was indeed the right choice to ask the Advisor to come and see this situation. Now, the situation had been analyzed by a few words from the Advisor.

"According to the situation of the huge water just now, I feel that the force behind this matter is Kirigakure!" The Advisor said fiercely. He already held a grudge against that water that almost choked him to death. This really made him very unhappy.

"Kirigakure ninja?" Thinking of this, Brei nodded and felt that this matter was very likely this. He said, "I think so too."

"The problem now is..." The Advisor stared at the two Konohagakure Anbu hanging on the tree and said, "How should we deal with these two people?"

"There are many paper tags that I can't understand on their bodies. There are also some explosive tags. If we are not careful, we might explode the explosive tag here!" Brei said cautiously, "At that time, not only will these two people die, but even we might be affected."

"This is what the other party set up for us!"

The Advisor took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with thoughts.

"If we don't save them, there must be a backup plan waiting for us to lure us into conflict with Konohagakure!"

The Advisor analyzed in a low voice. At this moment, his head was spinning rapidly. After all, he was the person that Country of Lightning had arranged to negotiate with. His thinking was extremely flexible.

"However, if we save them, we need to deal with them well. But if we don't deal with them well and detonate the explosive tags. It will become the two Anbu that we killed with our own hands!"

When the Advisor analyzed this, his pale face turned black, and the anger between his eyebrows became clearer and thicker.

"This is hooliganism!"

(TL notes: Hoologanism - rowdy, violent, or destructive behavior.)

"What kind of bastard could think of such a dog idea?"

"Right now, our Kumogakure and Konohagakure are about to have a peace talk. These two Anbu are completely two time bombs. It makes us so passive!"

"The envoy group led by Hari killed the Konohagakure people by accident, causing the situation to become out of control. If these two Anbu died during the peace talk, the negotiation would not be able to continue!"

"This is simply forcing our Kumogakure to fight with Konohagakure!"

This Advisor widened his eyes. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the person who could come up with this idea was too wicked!

He couldn't even think of anything more to ridicule!

Now, his eyes were fixed on the two Konohagakure Anbu hanging on the tree.

He didn't care about the rude behavior that Brei showed when he looked for him.

To him.

At most, Brei's brain was lacking.

His heart was still pure!

But...

The person who was able to plan this kind of thing in front of him.

The brain was really enough.

This was just too damaging!

"Advisor-sama, what should we do now?" Brei took a deep breath and asked. After hearing the Advisor's analysis, he already understood the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to act rashly.

"Let me think..."

The Advisor's face was extremely gloomy. Even he did not know how to break this situation.

"The biggest problem at the moment is..."

"We don't know what the paper tags on these two ninjas are!"

"If we rashly touch them, it will inevitably cause the situation to be uncontrollable!"

"The best way is to send these two back to Konohagakure!"

"Act according to Konohagakure and Third Hokage's decision, Konohagakure still hopes that we can coexist peacefully!"

"In other words..."

"As long as Konohagakure's people know the truth of the matter, we won't be blamed for it!"

The Advisor analyzed the situation one after another. The other ninjas, including Brei, were all listening to the Advisor to analyze the problem.

It was just...

They understood it...

However, they did not hear any solutions!

They could only silently wait for the Advisor-sama to finish his sentence.

"Advisor-sama, should I will call Konohagakure's ninjas over and let them claim it themselves?" Brei suddenly thought of an idea.

"No!"

The Advisor shook his head and rejected Brei's suggestion. He then explained, "Right now, the relationship between us and Konohagakure is still in a tense state. If we bring Konohagakure's ninjas here, it will only make things worse. If we are not careful, it may cause the incident to worsen further and lead to war."

"Then what should we do?" Brei spread out his hands and made a helpless gesture. He was completely at his wit's end.

"Cut down the tree!"

The Advisor's eyes sparkled.

At that moment just now.

A flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.

"Now you cut down this tree, pay attention and cut it slowly; then cut off the part of the tree trunk where the two Konohagakure ninjas are hanging, cut the part above their head and the part below their feet, keep their state and absolutely don't touch those paper tags!"

This consultant immediately thought of this perfect method.

Not only could he take these two ninjas away, but he would also not touch the paper tags on them.

"Good idea!"

Brei's eyes immediately lit up. He nodded to the surrounding ninjas and immediately began to move.

"You must be careful. Do not touch any of these two people. Tomorrow, carry this tree trunk and follow me to Konohagakure." said the Advisor.

"Yes!"

The Kumogakure ninjas led by Brei began to get busy.

About half an hour later.

The tree trunks where the two Konohagakure ninjas were located were cut off.

Then they were carried away by Kumogakure ninjas.

At this point.

The people here had already left.

Swish swish...

Right at this moment.

On the tree trunk.

Pieces of paper ripped apart from the trunk.

It felt like crossing the dimensional wall.

After that.

Aoba walked out from the tree trunk. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes flashed with pride.

"It seems that this leader of Kumogakure's envoy group still has some things. If he doesn't think of taking them away, I might have to come personally to lead the rhythm!"

Aoba smiled with satisfaction. He immediately used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) and left this place, returning to the tower.

Now, all the arrangements had been completed.

To him.

There was nothing left to do.

The chessboard was already set up.

As for how to place the pieces, that was their problem.
