On the other side, Kyosuke was sandwiched between Kushimaru Kashiwa and Nori Jinpachi, and he hurried towards the hillside.
Judging from the positions of the three of them, it was clear that the two of them regarded Kyosuke as a prisoner, and their intention to monitor them was barely concealed, as if they were afraid that Kyousuke would run away.
This is also true. After all, there is no trust between them, it is just a simple relationship between the exploiter and the exploited.
Muuri Jinpachi had no expression on his face and ran forward, minding his own business, with the broad blasting sword slung behind his back, and its thick blade drew a line of dark cold light in the sunlight.
Kasumi Kushimaru looked at Kyosuke from time to time, and occasionally there was a trace of amusement in his eyes under the mask. He didn't know if he was aware of the latter's thoughts.
And what about Kyousuke?
Although he was extremely nervous inside, he was still in his fifties after all and had experienced quite a lot of storms, so he was still able to remain calm on the surface in this situation.
This morning, Kyousuke used a treasure as a guide to persuade Muuri Jinpachi and Kasugaru Kushimaru to follow him and come over to receive this considerable amount of property in person.
In order to avoid doubts, Kyousuke gave this statement:
He buried this property so deeply that even his closest subordinates did not know its location, and he had to dig it out himself.
Finally, Kyosuke suggested that the two of them go together to show his sincerity and that he had no intention of escaping.
Muuri Jinpachi didn't say anything and agreed on the spot.
Anyway, in his opinion, there is no Ninja Village in the Kingdom of Tea, and he has not heard of any ninjas from the Great Ninja Village in the Kingdom of Tea recently.
With the strength of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, even if there are only two of them now, they are enough to run rampant in this weak country, and no armed force can pose a threat to them.
Since Kyosuke had contributed a lot of property before, Murashi Jinpachi didn't think that the other party would have no brains and do something sneaky and sneaky, thereby breaking the current "cooperation trend" that was finally maintained.
Muuri Jinpachi was very ambitious, but his companion Kushimaru Kashiwa was keenly aware that something was wrong.
The latter didn't think that after the two of them first killed many of Kyousuke's subordinates and then forced the other party to hand over money, the other party would be so honest or even take the initiative to contribute a larger amount of funds.
Although he had doubts about Kyousuke's behavior, as a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, his pride and arrogance still troubled Kushimaru's heart.
Therefore, Kasumi Kushimaru also said nothing, but looked at Kyousuke's actions with a cat-and-mouse mentality, intending to see what tricks the latter would come up with.
In Kashimaru Kashimaru's view, Kyousuke is just a little Nami ninja. No matter what plots and tricks the other party has prepared, given the absolute disparity in strength, he still cannot escape being drained of his wealth and then facing death.
Yes, Kyousuke's previous guess was correct. No matter how obedient he was, Muuri Jinpachi and Kasaki Kushimaru were not going to let him live.
This is not only because as Kirigakure elites, Muuri Jinpachi and Kashiwamaru have a strong desire to kill, but they also have some potential mental problems.
This is because clearing out all the armed forces in the Tea Country is related to Kirigakure Village's next strategic plan, and is an important task that must not be missed at all.
For ninjas like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, who were at the top of Kirigakure Village, it was no big deal to pick up private jobs while on missions to make extra money, and the Mizukage would not blame them for this.
But if the mission is delayed because of this... Kasumi Kushimaru couldn't help but shrink back. When his eyes glanced at Kyousuke again, the murderous intent in his eyes couldn't help but become more intense. Just because of the mask, the latter seemed to have no trace of it at all.
aware.
At this moment, Muri Jinpachi spoke: "Is this right here?"
Withdrawing his gaze towards Kyosuke, Kagami Kushimaru glanced around and saw that the surrounding hills were dotted with huge boulders and hills composed of khaki and gray-white colors occupying every corner in the vicinity.
Muuri Jinpachi stood quietly in front, holding his hands behind his back leisurely. Judging from his subtle movements, he seemed to be sizing up the surrounding environment.
Seeing this, Kasumi Kushimaru sneered, raised the sewing needle in his hand slightly, and pressed it against Kyosuke's chest: "Hey, Nami Nana, it's time to point out the location of your treasure."
The sharp and sharp stitches lingered on his chest, and there was a faint cold light blooming on them. Kyosuke did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly pretended to be trembling and replied:
"Lord Jia Xingwan, I can hand over all my property to you, but..."
Kyosuke's words "It's just" immediately attracted the attention of Kushimaru Kashimaru and Jinpachi Muuri. The latter turned his head, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, put on a malicious smile and asked, "It's just what?"
At the same moment, Kashimaru Kashimaru's hand increased strength, and the needle moved further forward, piercing Kyosuke's coat and pricking directly into the latter's skin.
"Lang Ren, do you know..."
Ignoring Kyousuke's somewhat painful expression, Kasumi Kushimaru twisted his wrist in a leisurely manner, causing the stitches to rub back and forth on Kyousuke's chest, splattering a little blood.
"You have no room for bargaining."
Enduring the pain of having his skin pierced by the stitches, Kyosuke forced his face to calm down and did not dare to avoid it. He just stood there motionless and gritted his teeth and said:
"I know how powerful you two are, but the ants still live in vain. I want to know, after I paid so much price..."
"Can you guys spare my life?"
Perhaps it was because Kyosuke's words were so "funny" that the hand holding the suture needle trembled slightly, but it was not obvious because he was covered by a mask.
Muuri Jinpachi obviously knew the character of his companion very well. After hearing this, he gave Kashimaru a look calmly, then his face softened slightly, and he said to Kyousuke solemnly:
"Our previous promise is still valid. As long as you cooperate obediently, then..."
Suddenly, like a slideshow switching, all the surrounding scenes paused silently for half a beat, and then directly came to a certain segment in the future.
Time, unknowingly... jumped from the last second to 10 seconds later.
As he spoke, Muri Jinpachi was suddenly startled, and the words in his mouth subconsciously said: "...I will spare your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Muuri Jinpachi sensed something was wrong. His expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously touched his right hand behind him, trying to pull the droplet out of the scabbard as quickly as possible to warn the surroundings.
What's going on? What just happened? What did I say before?
Questions instantly filled Murri Jinpachi's mind, causing his heartstrings to be touched instantly and his whole body to become even more tense.
Holding the hilt of Mimo's knife tightly, Muri Jinpachi's eyes widened, and he turned his head back and forth to look around, as if searching for the source of the abnormal situation just now.
On the left, on the right, on the top... there was no abnormality. Muuri Jinpachi frowned, and gradually retracted his gaze, looking in the direction of Kushimaru and Kyousuke again.
Is it my misunderstanding?
The thought had not yet settled, but at this moment, when he turned around and saw the scene in front of him, Muuri Jinpachi's pupils suddenly shrank to the extreme, and he quickly shouted: "Kushimaru! Get out of the way!"
Kashiwamaru looked at his companion in confusion and tilted his head in confusion, while Kyousuke, who had a stitch pressed against his chest by the former, also showed a confused expression.
The scene looked very peaceful, and Kasumi Kushimaru and Kyousuke didn't realize at all that behind them, a dark shadow had quietly approached at some point.
At this time, it was less than half a meter away from them.
