In Aoyama's room.
Azu and Natsume were already waiting for orders.
After returning to the room, Aoyama explained the details of the mission and emphasized, "Remember, investigate the opponent's strength first. Although Kabuto said that the enemy's strength isn't strong, we still can't let our guard down."
"Understood, Aoyama -sama." They replied in unison. Azu's face was calm, but Natsume was quite eager. Natsume's temperament was actually quite combative. Aoyama was also surprised when he discovered this.
"Let's go now," Aoyama stood up and looked at the energetic Azu and Natsume and couldn't help but smile.
Northwest of the Land of Rice. This was one of the few hills in the Land of Rice. It was considered the poorest and most dilapidated place in the Land of Rice. After all, it wasn't suitable for farming and the population was sparse. Moreover, it was close to the border, so the security here wasn't very good.
It was a slightly deserted town, but it was already the most prosperous place within a radius of dozens of miles.
"Ha, it feels a bit deserted here!" Walking on the empty street, Aoyama looked left and right. There were very few pedestrians on the road. To be precise, there were only a few pedestrians except for Aoyama and the other two.
As for the shops on both sides of the street, half of them were closed. The remaining shops were open, but looking at the sallow and emaciated shop owners, it was obvious that they were about to close down.
The situation here made Aoyama once again feel the gap between the five major ninja countries and the smaller ones. He couldn't help but feel lucky that he was born in Kiba in this life. Otherwise, if he left the five major ninja countries, the other places wouldn't be much different from the chaotic world. The war never stopped for a moment, which could be understood just by looking at Akatsuki's continuous expansion.
"Aoyama -sama, why do I feel like the people here are staring at us? Are they Akatsuki's informants? "Natsume approached Aoyama and asked in a low voice.
"Yes!" Aoyama scanned her surroundings. She looked at the shop owner, the beggar in the corner, Zi, Natsume, and herself. She couldn't help but laugh. She was a little careless this time.
"It's not them. It's us. There shouldn't be many foreigners here. We're too eye-catching and don't fit in with the environment." Aoyama shook her head and explained.
Aoyama was wearing an aqua blue robe with rippling patterns on it. It was similar to the Death Lord's outfit. The Tsuka Family's emblem was embroidered on her vest. It was designed by Auntie Reiko. She had a Hyorinlunaru on her waist, and her silver hair made her look even more eye-catching.
Needless to say, Azuz was very beautiful. Although she and Natsume were both wearing pure black combat suits, they were even more eye-catching.
With Aoyama's reminder, Natsume finally understood. However, there was nothing he could do about it. In a remote town like this, there was no way he could hide the fact that outsiders had entered.
"Let's not stroll around here. Let's complete the mission first! It won't be fun if the enemy escapes. "Aoyama led the two of them to the center of the town.
From afar, there was a brightly colored building. It was different from the other old buildings. It was a newly built two-story building. On the surface, it was the residence of a small merchant who purchased ores. But behind it, it was the base of a branch of the Akatsuki. It was the target of Aoyama's group.
"Azuz, go and check all the secret passages. We can't let these guys escape." Aoyama stood at the entrance of the alley and looked at the building in the distance. Azuz, who was behind him, made hand seals and sank into the ground.
After waiting for a few minutes, Azuz came back. "Aoyama -sama, there's only one escape passage that leads to the outside of the town. It's quite spacious underground."
"So it's like that." Tsukuyomi stroked her chin and said softly, "Azu, seal that secret passage for me, and be on the lookout for any Earth Release Ninjas that might escape. Natsume, you attack from the second floor."
"Yes!" Azuz sank into the ground again. Aoyama and Natsume didn't stay any longer and quickly rushed to the small building.
At the entrance of the first floor.
"Who are you? Leave quickly. This is not a place to stroll around. If you come any closer, I won't be polite. " The two tall, fierce-looking warrior guards who were guarding the door rushed up and stared at Moonlight vigilantly, trying to drive this young man away.
"Crash!"
At this moment, the window glass on the second floor was smashed into pieces. Xia Mu rushed in like an arrow. What followed was a series of panicked reprimands and curses. The sound of clanging bells rang non-stop.
The two samurai who were guarding the entrance looked up in surprise. They opened their mouths and were about to scream when they saw the big hole in the window.
"Numbing Finger."
Two fingers on each hand were pressed together like a sword and pressed against the chest of the two samurai who didn't react. A weak electric light flashed, and the two of them fell to the ground.
The samurai of today's world had already declined. Except for the last samurai inheritance in the Land of Iron, the samurai in other places had already been eliminated. Ninjas were the mainstream of this world. Most of the samurai directly changed their identity and joined the ninjas. Only a small number of samurai were scattered in different places and often acted as guards.
"Red Cannon."
Aoyama raised his hand and a red fireball directly blew the wooden door to pieces. He walked in leisurely and was met with more than ten shurikens flying at high speed.
Using Shunpo, Aoyama easily dodged all the shurikens. Then he noticed three middle-aged men standing in the hall. They all had angry and nervous expressions. Noticing that Aoyama disappeared in front of them, the three of them immediately became chaotic.
Aoyama easily went behind the three of them. They were all precious experimental materials, so he couldn't hurt them. Numbing Finger easily took down the three of them.
At this time, Natsume also came down from upstairs. Looking at her relaxed appearance, he knew that the upstairs was already cleaned up. He quickly went down the stairs, but at this time, a voice sounded.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique."
One after another, fireballs continuously attacked the exit of the stairs. The fireballs faintly scattered in all directions cleverly sealed the entrance of the stairs. The one who attacked was a ninja wearing black clothes. There were burn scars on his face, and his breath was very strong. He was completely different from the guys upstairs. At first glance, one could tell that he was a good fighter.
"Water Release: Chaotic Water Wave." Aoyama opened his mouth and spat out a clear stream of water. It was also a C-class ninjutsu, but Aoyama's Chaotic Water Wave was obviously better, and it easily extinguished all the fireballs.
"Clang!"
The black-clothed ninja with a ferocious face blocked Natsume's surprise attack. His reaction speed seems to be excellent. This guy seems to be close to the strength of a Special Jonin. Natsume has met his match.
Speaking of which, although Natame's Ninjutsu talent was good, and he had learned White Thunder and Lightning, but he was still lacking in other aspects. He still needed to polish himself. Now, this black cloaked ninja was a very good whetstone.
Moreover, Natsume also wanted to train herself. Seeing that she didn't use Lightning Strike and Bai Lei, Aoyama was also happy to see this. She didn't intervene in the battle. Instead, she sat down on the sofa and watched the fierce battle between the two.
