Chapter 18 Are you also a whirlpool? Two people died soon after the battle started, which scared the pursuing Grass Ninjas! I thought there were just a few thieves sneaking into the house, but I never expected that I was encountering violent bandits. Under this blow, the Grass Ninjas' nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong was immediately aroused. Many people have stopped chasing, or are clamoring on the surface but are actually standing still and slacking off. Konan took this opportunity to spread out his paper wings, picked up Uzumaki Xiangye and two less agile members of the team, cut through the sky, and evacuated quickly. Shiba Kiyokawa, Nagato, Kenjiro and another Akatsuki Chunin Masuda Ikki stayed behind to delay the Kusagakure ninja. Shiba Qinghe suggested, "Retreat to the depths of the mountains and forests, away from the open terrain, use the complex terrain to make their pursuit troops disconnected, and then find an opportunity to kill the group of people chasing the most urgently!" Kazuki Masuda was a little timid. He was just a standard Chunin from a small ninja village. "Can we do it? There are more than twenty people chasing us now." This was the result of Shiba Kiyokawa quickly killing two people and scaring off some of the Kusagakure ninjas. Originally there were more people chasing them than there are now!
Shiba Kiyokawa said, "Don't be afraid, we still have Nagato to back us up." Kenjiro frowned a little, "But Chief Yahiko said that it would be best for Nagato to never use that kind of power. It would be very dangerous if it was exposed!" Kenjiro is really loyal to his leader Yahiko, and he would even sacrifice himself to keep Nagato's secret. But Shiba Qinghe interrupted him with disdain, "Why are you so rigid? If you're worried about being exposed, why don't you just kill all the witnesses? If you're still worried, just dispose of the bodies as well!" Kenjiro was speechless. I can only say that this proposal is very clear. However, what Kenjiro did not expect this time was that even Nagato spoke up to support Shiba Kiyokawa. "I will contribute when necessary. It's up to you to grasp the timing, Qinghe." Until now, Nagato still feels that everything that happened tonight was caused by him alone. It was he who followed secretly and with his own will; It was he who implicated everyone in order to save his own blood relatives. He never imagined that this was a plot by Shiba Qinghe. Instead, he felt guilty towards Qinghe, as he had caused the other party to risk his life to save him. So he was willing to go against Yahiko's instructions in order to repay his kindness! Shiba Qinghe smiled slightly, then nodded solemnly, "Leave it to me!" At the same time, the pursuing ninjas from Kusagakure were also discussing the pursuit plan in great detail. One of them shouted, "What are you doing? Why are you dawdling? Hurry up and catch that Rain Ninja brat! If we don’t quickly bring back that Uzumaki woman, we’ll all be in trouble if things get out of hand!” The Kusagakure Village ban on Uzumaki Kaoru was done secretly, and they were also very afraid that this would be exposed. It’s not that they are afraid of humanitarian condemnation, but they are afraid that the big ninja village will use this as an excuse to rob them. When the Whirlpool Country was destroyed, except for Konoha and the farthest Sand Village, the other three ninja villages all participated openly or secretly. However, the gains after the war did not satisfy them.
This is also the fundamental reason why the Uzumaki clan suffered a miserable fate in the ninja world: the murderer did not get a satisfactory reward, so he has been secretly searching for the surviving Uzumaki orphans. And Konoha, the ally that was supposed to save the clan, just abandoned them after taking away Kushina. The Grass Ninja couldn't fight against the three gangsters, and couldn't ask Konoha for help, so he could only choose to hide Xiangye secretly. This incident posed a huge hidden danger to them, so the clear-headed Grass Ninja leaders were very anxious. But there was no point in him being anxious. Someone at the side immediately said rudely, "Why are you yelling so loudly? If you can do it, go ahead! Hold off the little Rain Ninja with the knife, we promise to catch the others!" The choked Grass Ninja high-ranking officer stopped talking immediately, his face flushed red. The Kusanagi who was killed by Shiba Kiyokawa with a set of continuous sword techniques a few seconds ago was a Jonin in the village, and his strength was comparable to those he was commanding now. If Shiba Kiyokawa could kill that man, he could kill them too. So no matter how much they quarreled or made a scene, no one was willing to really try Kiyokawa's sword. Several Kusagakure jonin looked at each other during the pursuit, and no one said a word. Finally, someone couldn't stand this spiral of silence anymore and stood up and said, "I'll take care of that kid with the knife. Go and capture the others as soon as possible!" The others all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. The few Grass Ninjas who took the initiative to chase after Nagato walked with vigorous steps, and even looked a little secretly delighted. If Shiba Kiyokawa saw this scene, he would definitely give them a thumbs up for their courage! Soon, in the mountains and forests with complex terrain, Shiba Kiyokawa faced the Jounin from Kusagakure who took the initiative to find him. "Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!" The opponent showed the source of his confidence from the very beginning! This Grass Ninja is good at wind escape and is very good at controlling distance in combat, which gives him an advantage when dealing with enemies who are good at physical skills and swordsmanship. The violent wind tore off branches, blew up fallen leaves and dust, leaving a mess wherever it passed. Shiba Kiyokawa jumped among the treetops, dodged the first wave of hurricane force winds, and just as he was about to counterattack, another gust of wind blades came towards him. "Wind Release: Wind Cut Technique!" The other party is determined not to give me the chance to get close! Shiba Kiyokawa was not in a hurry either. He pretended to be forced to retreat and continued to jump and move swiftly in the woods, looking for a suitable terrain for battle. What he wants is not to kill one or two Kusanagi ninjas, what he wants is to cooperate with Nagato to bury all the people who catch up with him tonight! Those Grass Ninjas who were chasing after him with full confidence had no idea what kind of terrifying existence they were chasing! However, Shiba Kiyokawa's caution was misunderstood by his opponent as helplessness and embarrassment. "Hmph! That's all!" The Kusanagi ninja who was good at wind escape snorted complacently, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether his sarcasm was directed at Shiba Kiyokawa or at his frightened companions. The ninjas were very fast, and the two sides, one chasing and one fleeing, soon disappeared into the depths of the forest. Just as Shiba Kiyokawa expected, as time went on, the Grass Ninja pursuit gradually became disconnected in the complex mountainous terrain. The weak young Grass Ninjas in the rear were left far behind.
Not long after that, Shiba Kiyokawa finally found the terrain for the decisive battle he had been looking for! "It's right under that waterfall, Nagato, go there and activate your ability!" While giving the instructions, he no longer had any scruples and turned back without hesitation, rushing towards the Grass Ninja that had been chasing him! Tonight, no one can be spared! The pursuing Kusagakure jonin had no idea that the enemy in front of him had already decided to kill him, and he still followed his habit, forming hand seals and performing spells. "Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!" He thought that Shiba Kiyokawa would jump away and dodge in the same awkward manner as before, and then be ravaged by him repeatedly flying with the kite at a well-controlled distance. But he never expected that this time, Shiba Qinghe did not dodge or evade, but plunged into the wind field without even blinking! "what?!" In horror, he saw Shiba Kiyokawa, with tattered clothes and cuts all over his body, rushing through the wind escape as if nothing had happened, advancing with a knife in one hand, raising the other hand, putting the wrist in front of his mouth and biting it off. This familiar movement made the Kusanagi suddenly clear his mind and he cried out in horror. "How is it possible?! You are also a whirlpool--" He wanted to ask: Are you also from the Uzumaki clan? ! Unfortunately, he could no longer say the following words. Because Shiba Kiyokawa, who had waded through the storm despite being seriously injured, had already put the blade to his throat!
