Chapter 156 The Tightening Band on the Monkey's Head
Clang!
The retractable sword in Longyan's hand flew out and fell to the ground.
But at this moment he couldn't care less about ninja tools, and had long forgotten his mission. He just stared dumbfounded at the corpses of his two companions, feeling his mouth dry and his limbs weak.
He originally rushed out to attack the One-Tailed Beast and lure it away, but as soon as he ran out, before he could even launch an attack on the One-Tailed Beast, he discovered that his two companions were already dead.
He knew better than anyone how powerful his companions were, yet in just one exchange, both of them died silently.
His death was so swift and unbelievable that he couldn't help but wonder if he had been under some kind of illusion.
He reached out and slapped his own mouth hard until his teeth fell out, but there was still no sign of the illusion being broken.
The corpses of the green tiger and the peacock were still lying there, like trash.
"ah----"
He suddenly screamed, like a humiliated little girl, clutching his head tightly with both hands, kneeling on the ground, and gagging incessantly.
Originally, places like Takumi Ninja Village relied mainly on selling ninja tools to establish their nation. The village didn't have many missions to undertake, at most dealing with some rogue ninjas who had fled from other places. The opportunities for combat were inherently limited.
Even when he encountered rogue ninjas, he could easily win with his powerful ninja tools, and he never fought any difficult battles.
Longyan was the youngest of the "Four Celestial Elephant Men" and had seen the fewest killings. Now, in his first tough battle, he encountered a tough opponent like An. His companions were killed instantly, and he collapsed immediately.
There is no mercy in the ninja world. An doesn't care if he's a novice or not. If he dares to come out and rob, he should be prepared to be killed.
With a single glance, Shukaku raised his foot and stomped heavily down on Longyan.
With a "poof," just like a water bag being stepped on and burst, blood spurted out from under Shukaku's feet in all directions.
By this time, An had already remembered what these people did: the "Four Celestial Elephant People" of Takumi Ninja Village!
They're at best Jonin level, but their ninja tools are quite interesting.
An jumped off Shukaku and collected all three of their ninja tools together.
The Dark Blade of Fangs, the Infinite Hole Armor, the Flying Twin Swords, and there seems to be a sword that can fire lasers, but why didn't it appear?
An subconsciously looked around, trying to find the last master craftsman, but all he could see were the rustling of pine trees and the whispering of leaves; there was no sign of him.
"Huff, huff—"
The tortoise demon ran forward as if its life depended on it, not daring to look back, for fear that if it slowed down it would lose its life.
Although he had considered that the enemy might be powerful, he did not expect them to be that powerful!
He arrived at the designated location, stood on the treetop and watched from afar, waiting for his companion to lure one of the tails over.
But what they saw was their three companions being easily tortured to death.
He was immediately terrified and his whole body went numb. He instinctively jumped down from the tree and ran into the village, his mind completely blank, his heart screaming incessantly.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die—"
"How could there possibly be such a powerful ninja in this world?"
"Are the ninjas of the Five Great Nations really that terrifying?"
"Were our ancestors during the Qingming Festival really that powerful?"
"Judging from that person's nonchalant methods, even if the Qingming Ancestor were resurrected, it probably wouldn't be of much use, would it?"
After witnessing a high-level battle, Turtle Demon finally gained experience and completely abandoned his idea of reviving his ancestor and restoring the glory of Takumi Ninja Village.
An couldn't find any trace of the Turtle Demon, and hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should just go to Takumi Village and collect all four ninja tools.
But after thinking about it carefully, I gave up on the idea.
There's really nothing special about Takumi Village. These few ninja tools might be enough to deal with ordinary Jonin, but they're completely useless in battles against truly powerful ninjas.
Going to Takumi Ninja Village is really unnecessary, except to satisfy a collector's obsession.
So after he carefully put away the three ninja tools, he mounted Shukaku and continued towards the Land of Fire.
A few days later, he re-entered the Land of Fire.
At this time, the situation in the Land of Fire had deteriorated further.
During the time that Sunagakure withdrew from the war, Konoha finally had some spare strength to launch a counterattack.
The battlefield is no longer limited to the vicinity of Konoha Village, but small-scale battles can be encountered anywhere in the Land of Fire.
However, the difficulty coefficients of offense and defense are completely different; offense requires more troops and resources.
The most obvious sign is that many child-like genin have begun to appear on various battlefields.
Konoha boasts the most comprehensive ninja academy education, and many children can serve as genin to complete missions immediately after graduating from the academy.
Previously, Konoha was very powerful, so they tried their best not to send children to the battlefield during the war.
However, the situation in Konoha has deteriorated to such an extent that even children cannot escape the fate of going to the battlefield.
"Ha, so this is the Will of Fire!"
After giving a cold laugh, An ignored these small-scale battles and rode Shukaku forward on his own.
With such a large size, Shukaku would inevitably attract attention wherever he went. He didn't intend to hide it; he just wanted to see which fish he would catch.
On this day, An Zheng was walking slowly forward when suddenly the sounds of fighting came from ahead.
He ignored them and continued forward, and then he saw a group of people fighting to the death.
He hadn't originally planned to get involved, but after a quick glance, he suddenly froze.
He saw a familiar child among the crowd in Konoha, wielding a kunai and locked in a fierce battle with an enemy.
The child wasn't wearing a headband, and a clear line was imprinted on his fair forehead.
That was the "Caged Bird" mark unique to the Hyuga branch family.
The problem is that this child's eyes are not white, but rather the eyes of an ordinary person.
This is very strange.
Anxin suddenly had a strange thought: the "Caged Bird" mark is a good thing; it seems that it can be used to control Rin and Obito!
He had previously considered using a restraint or poison on Lin, but nothing could stump Jue, and he was certain she could be saved.
However, there is no way to break the "Caged Bird" curse seal, and Zetsu has no way to do it either. As long as this mark is applied, there is no need to worry about Rin being rescued by Obito!
If Obito were marked with the "Caged Bird" symbol, wouldn't that be like putting a tight headband on Sun Wukong's head, so he could recite it whenever he had nothing to do?
Rin, as a hostage, can only control Obito, but doesn't really have any restrictive effect. Having the headband would be great; it would allow for more new ways to play this game.
