Hyōjin didn't bother with Sasori, flew directly to Naruichi Mitsui's body, and immediately threw several kunai tied with detonation talismans.
Boom boom boom …
With a violent explosion, Naruichi Mitsui's body suddenly fell apart.
The reason why Hyōjin destroyed Naruichi Mitsui's body was to prevent Sasori from finding him based on Naruichi Mitsui's identity.
After all, he didn't know how long he would have to stay at the border outpost. If Scorpion came looking for him, he wouldn't even have a place to escape. It should be known that the village was thinking of ways to purge him. If he abandoned the outpost and ran away, the village could just charge him with desertion and execute him justifiably.
And after destroying Naruichi Mitsui's body, it would not be so easy for Sasori to figure out Hyōjin's identity.
Because no matter how strong Sasori was, he was just a traitorous ninja. Without the support of Sand Crypsis behind him, intelligence gathering would inevitably be his weakness.
And this time, the cooperation between Muye and Sand Crypsis, because it involves the cleansing of their own people, there must be very few people who know, and it must be the highest level of both villages, so it is difficult for Sasori to find out the specific list of people involved in this cleansing operation from Muye or Sand Crypsis.
One was flying in the sky, and the other was chasing on the ground, the distance between the two sides was naturally getting bigger and bigger.
Glancing at the flustered and exasperated Sasori far behind him, Hyōjin laughed heartily.
At present, Sasori has not yet joined Akatsuki. Although he has an impressive record of killing Kage, he still belongs to the traditional category of Sand Crypsis puppeteer. His means are single, he relies too much on puppets, and he lacks the means to deal with all kinds of strange strong people.
Therefore, after Hyōjin luckily took away Three Generations of Kazekage puppets, his combat power was immediately greatly reduced.
This weakening did not only refer to combat effectiveness, but more importantly, mobility. Without the Three Generations of Kazekage puppets, Sasori lost the initiative on the battlefield, and it was no longer up to him to decide whether to fight or to make peace.
This is also the reason why the Four Generations Naruto was able to surpass the Sanin in such a short period of time and shocked the Shinobi world.
Those who could defeat the Four Generations couldn't catch up, and those who couldn't defeat the Four Generations couldn't escape. The Four Generations had the final say on where and when to attack. This was the greatest helplessness in the hearts of all the enemies who encountered the Four Generations. And as the strength of Yondaime-sama grew stronger day by day, slowly, no one could beat him in a one-on-one fight, and the name 'Golden Flash' naturally spread throughout the shinobi world.
"The current Sasori's strength has not yet reached the peak. Maybe when he joins the Akatsuki soon, he will see the Rinnegan, and understand the power above the Kage level, then his strength will further improve."
With such thoughts in mind, Hyōjin gradually got rid of Sasori, left the desert terrain, and sneaked into the forest in the territory of the Land of Kawa.
After repeatedly confirming that he got rid of Sasori, Hyōjin deliberately took a big circle, and finally stopped on a big tree five miles away from his post.
If he goes back like this, Hyōjin will inevitably be blamed for the death of Naruichi Mitsui.
But he, who has taken Three Generations of Kazekage puppets, can't report the encounter with Sasori, because once he reports it to the village, under the vigorous investigation of the village, it will be difficult to keep the Kazekage puppets in his hands.
Moreover, once it involves an S-class Tokenobi, the village will most likely send a Jonin or even an Elite Jonin to investigate, which will greatly increase the probability of the Tenseigan being exposed.
So he must put on a show to make the death of Naruichi Mitsui reasonable.
After a little thought, Hyōjin took action.
He wrapped Sandaime Kazekage's puppet's head, hands, and other exposed parts with bandages, revealing only a pair of slightly dull eyes, and then put a gray cloak on it.
Because it was originally a puppet made from a corpse, its body shape is almost exactly the same as before, plus there is no Chakra line connection, so after Hyōjin's camouflage, the Three Generations of Kazekage puppets look like a living ninja.
After carefully looking around and confirming that there are no flaws, Hyōjin handed two Kunai to the Three Generations of Kazekage puppets and let it scratch itself with Kunai.
After doing all this, Hyōjin shouted for help while flying towards the post.
In the post.
Hearing Hyōjin's cry for help in the distance, Red Bean, who was recuperating, was stunned and immediately jumped out of her room and landed outside the post.
At the same time, the other two squad leaders in the post also jumped out together and looked at the direction of Hyōjin's cry for help.
A moment later, they saw Hyōjin stumbling towards the post with blood all over his body, and behind him was a strange ninja in a cloak chasing him.
Including the injured Red Bean, the three Muye ninjas did not hesitate and immediately went over to fight with the strange ninja who was chasing Hyōjin.
The Three Generations of Kazekage puppets, even if it's just physical techniques, are better than Red Bean and others, so in order to avoid overacting, Hyōjin pretended to collapse on the ground due to physical exhaustion and let the Three Generations of Kazekage puppets play a few moves with the three of them, and then immediately retreated.
The three did not take the risk to pursue, but turned back to Hyōjin and asked: "What happened?"
Hyōjin shook his head: "I don't know, Captain Mitsui and I were attacked as soon as we sneaked into the Land of Wind, the captain died on the spot, I was chased by him all the way, and it was not easy to escape back."
When Red Bean heard this, her face became gloomy.
The other two Chunin Squad Leaders looked at each other and found that each other's eyes were full of surprise and suspicion.
Returning to Hyōjin's room in the outpost, Red Bean wrapped Hyōjin's wounds and said in a hoarse voice: "They are all dead."
The 'they' in Red Bean's mouth refers to the nine former subordinates of Orochi Maru, except for Red Bean and Hyōjin.
Kuroto's team was not the only one who went on a mission today. The other two squads in the outpost had also gone on a mission. However, only the two squad leaders with questionable identities had returned safely, while several of Orochimaru's old subordinates had died in an 'accident' in battle.
Hyōjin did not say anything, but nodded silently.
In a remote outpost with 12 people, eight people died in less than two weeks. Except for Naruichi Mitsui who was accidentally killed by Sasori, the other seven were all former subordinates of Orochi Maru. As long as one's eyes are not blind and not stupid, anyone can see that there is something fishy going on.
After a moment, Hyōjin pointed to the door and whispered: "Be careful of them, I suspect that they are the roots."
Red Bean has also noticed that there is something wrong with the three Squad Leaders, so she nodded and then asked in a low voice: "What happened to you today?"
