In winter, the bare trees seemed like decaying ancient objects, staring coldly at the whole world with their turbid, emotionless eyes.
At this moment, the forest in the north of the Kingdom of Rain.
Loess' body was like a swimming dragon, he raised his kunai high and stabbed the Konoha spy in front of him who had deceived his relationship with his wife.
Rather than using ninjutsu to end a woman's life, he would rather do it with his hands.
Come to think of it, the feeling of warm blood spraying out and splashing on your face must be very relaxing and comfortable.
"go to hell!"
Approaching Nonoyu, Huangtu couldn't help but shout loudly. The next second, he held the kunai and stabbed hard!
"Ding!"
A kunai stood in front of the loess.
In the cold night, the splashing sparks are clearly visible.
Looking at the tall and thin ninja standing in front of Nonoyu with his sword drawn, Huang Tu coldly snorted: "You shouldn't block me! Because doing so will make your death worse!"
"If you want to talk big, at least kill me first before you talk!"
As a member of the Roots, the tall and thin ninja is not afraid of the enemies in front of him!
No matter how strong he is!
Even if you hurt No Naiyu, you have to go through this yourself!
"Yeah?"
Huang Tu's face darkened, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he jumped up and stepped back. At the same time, his hands began to form seals, and the speed was so fast that it was hard to see clearly.
"Seal?"
"Don't even think about it!"
Seeing this, the two remaining roots around Nonoyu quickly threw a few kunai and shot them towards the loess.
"Whoosh whoosh-!"
With the sound of breaking through the air, several kunai completely blocked Loess's retreat.
But seeing Huang Tu taking his time, he flew his hands in the air and changed the order of the seals. The next second, his skin became as black as iron and looked very hard.
"Ding ding ding!"
The two kunai shone with cold light and quickly hit Loess, but it was useless. They were like two flies hitting the steel plate, being ruthlessly bounced away without even leaving any trace on Loess.
"That's it?"
Loess smiled disdainfully, landed firmly on the branch, and looked down at everyone.
At this time, a large number of rock ninjas behind Nonoyu also chased after him. When they saw Loess standing on the branch, they said hello in unison: "Lotus-sama!"
“Just in time!”
Huang Tu coldly glanced at the enemy not far away, and finally set his sights on Nonoyu: "Today I will let you see how Konoha's spies died!"
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
"Oh, is it so?"
Immediately afterwards, a young man wearing a red robe suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"This is--!"
"Konoha Crow King, Uchiha Mizue!"
All the Iwa ninja present took a breath.
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
Over the years, the young man has become famous in the huge ninja world, so how can he be an easy person to deal with?
"I heard that Mr. Huangtu's ear was caused by him..."
"Are you already so powerful at such a young age?"
The crowd gradually became agitated, with all kinds of comments mixed with sporadic sighs.
"Long time no see Loess..."
Uchiha Mitsuki ignored the shock and anger of the Iwa ninjas, came to Nonou, and said hello to Huangtu with a smile.
Looking at the smiling young man in front of him, Huang Tu suddenly felt that his whole face was on fire, especially the base of the missing right ear, which was so hot that it felt like a soldering iron had been pressed on it, causing pain and itching.
So far, he has met the boy twice for this purpose, but each time he paid a huge price.
For the first time, he lost his right ear.
For the second time, he lost the command of the Iwa Ninja army.
As the son of the dignified third generation Tsuchikage.
Facing Uchiha Mizuki again, the hatred in Loess's heart has already reached the sky!
Thinking of the scene of his first defeat that year, combined with the timing of Nonoyu's appearance, Huang Tu instantly figured it out!
With this young man's scheming and the city government, how could he take action for just supplies?
It must be to escort that woman!
What a shameless couple!
"It turns out that destroying that batch of supplies was not your goal, Uchiha Mitsuki. Your real goal was to send that woman to sneak into our camp, despicable!"
Huang Tu said angrily.
???
Uchiha Mitsuki was stunned.
What was this guy Huang Tu just saying?
Was he the one who brought Nonoyu into the Iwagakure camp?
"Are you kidding? Didn't I fight with you back then?"
"hehe!"
If I continue to believe your lies, I will be a fool!
Huang Tu sneered and said nothing.
At this moment, an Iwa ninja roared at Uchiha Mitsuki: "Don't be too arrogant, kid! You have fallen into our encirclement now, and you are just a crucian carp waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping board!"
"Look carefully, who is it and who is surrounded by it?" Uchiha Mitsuki shrugged and said with an indifferent expression.
His attitude of treating the enemy as nothing directly angered the Iwa ninja present.
They all took out kunai, detonating charms, shurikens, or hand seals one after another, intending to destroy the boy with the power of thunder.
However, at this moment, the whole forest seemed to suddenly light up.
One torch after another is embellished among them.
"This is……?"
"People from Konoha!"
"How come there are so many!"
Looking at the endless torches, the Iwa ninjas were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, there was a cold feeling on their backs, and a sense of despair that they were certain to die, and even their souls were dying, was instantly born in their hearts and spread throughout their bodies.
In fact, Uchiha Mitsuki did not expect that there would be so few Iwa ninjas tonight.
You know, in order to prevent the Iwa Ninja army from going south and to better coordinate with the great hero Nono U, Konoha invested at least 70% of its troops in this operation.
The Iwa Ninja in front of me seemed to be less than 20% strong.
"Protect Lord Loess and retreat!"
The few Iwa ninja who retained their sense immediately understood what their top priority was, and hurriedly returned to Loess's side to prepare to cover his breakout.
Other Iwa Ninjas responded one after another, and in an instant, a large number of Iwa Ninjas gathered around Loess.
There are also a small number of Iwa ninjas with fierce eyes, charging towards Uchiha Mitsuki and the culprit Nonou!
However, before they could get close, they were killed one by one by Minato and Hyuga Haiki who had been waiting in the dark.
"Are you OK!"
Uchiha Mitsuki turned around and asked.
"I'm fine..."
Thinking of the sacrifice for himself, tears filled Nonoyu's eyes: "It's just..."
Hearing this, Uchiha Mitsuki followed her gaze and saw the body being held in the arms of a man.
Obviously, the man was not breathing.
"Captain, he sacrificed his life to protect us..."
Feeling the gaze cast by Uchiha Mitsuki, the root said with a choked voice.
"Well...he did, didn't he?"
Uchiha Mitsuki let out a long breath.
While he was in awe of the man, he also had a special emotion rippling in his heart.
Uchiha Mitsuki understands that this emotion is hate!
