A gentle breeze blew through the forest, causing the leaves to rustle in the wind. Sparse sunlight shone through the layers of leaves, forming mottled shadows on the ground. From afar, there was the sound of birds chirping.
In the small field, wisps of killing intent lingered. Shikamaru and the others all had stern expressions as they stared vigilantly at the sky.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Ripple."
Aoyama's cheeks puffed up as he ruthlessly spat out wind blades that cut through the thick branches. With two sounds, crimson red blood splattered everywhere. The green leaves were dyed red as two corpses fell to the ground.
The smell of blood spread quickly. Aoyama sneered. He didn't even look at the corpses on the ground. His gaze was still on the tangled leaves.
"All the idiots inside, get the hell out here. How dare you reveal your killing intent to me? How bold of you. Are you tired of living? If that's the case, I can send you on your way. "Aoyama sneered. His eyes were filled with cold killing intent.
After a long while, there was no movement at all. The corpses on the ground were no longer warm. The blood soaked the ground and solidified. Only the smell of blood lingered in the air.
Ino's expression was the same as usual. She just stared at the lush branches and leaves on the tree. Shikamaru and Choji stood on the side. They also waited with rapt attention, not daring to be distracted.
"You're not coming out? What a bunch of cowards. "Yue Hua raised her eyebrows and pulled out her Hyorinmaru. She kicked the ground and rushed forward like lightning. "Then I'm coming."
"Sou sou sou!"
At the moment when the moonlight flew up, the timing could not be said to be not clever. Densely packed shurikens shot out, mixed with kunai tied with explosive charms, like a storm attacking.
"A bunch of idiots, you can't hold it in anymore." Aoyama grinned. His body flew back in an impossible position.
"Wind Sword Cannon."
Moonlight stood on the tree trunk and pointed her long sword at the incoming shurikens. Sharp wind bullets quickly shot out, easily sweeping away the shurikens and detonating the explosive talismans mixed in them. The rumbling explosion formed a frenzied flame flow, blowing away all the shurikens in the surroundings.
"How did Aoyama do that just now? Flying backwards … "Dingji was confused. Aoyama's action just now was against the laws of physics.
"It's very simple, Aoyama tied a rope to his leg. Just now, he was pulled back by the rope." Ino reminded. Dingji suddenly remembered that he saw a light grey rope. It was a pity that everything happened too quickly, and he didn't see it clearly.
The wind bullets swept away all of the shurikens, but Aoyama was still unwilling to stop. One after another, sharp wind bullets broke the tree branches and shattered the green leaves. Finally, the true appearance of the shurikens was revealed. The two ninjas who were dressed in Anbu attire suddenly dropped to the ground, dodging the whistling wind bullets that were flying towards them.
"Running away is rather fast, but it's a pity that in my eyes, you are still too slow. Idiots." Aoyama used Shunpo and quietly rushed towards the two ninjas. Hyorinwheel Maru brought along a snow-white sword light, and one sword after another, the endless sword light tangled around the two ninjas, not giving the two ninjas any chance to retreat.
"Kacha!"
Along with a sound that made one's teeth ache, a trace of blood flew out, and an arm was sent flying backwards. After rolling one round on the ground, the arm twitched for a bit.
Aoyama's expression was cold as ice, and the faint red color on Hyorinwheel Maru was quickly shaken off. The snow-white sword light was still continuous, firmly trapping the two ninjas.
Soon, the sound of snapping could be heard, and blood splattered all over the place, leaving a long trail of blood.
The two Anbu ninjas also gave up resisting because they were turned into human sticks by Aoyama. Their limbs were chopped off, and it looked like they were about to die.
Aoyama lightly shook the Hyorinwheel Maru, and the fine wind blades scraped past the sword, and the remaining blood on the sword was all cleaned up. Aoyama sheathed the sword, and looked at the two ninjas on the ground. Their masks were already destroyed by Aoyama.
They were very unfamiliar faces, and Aoyama had never seen them before, but their fighting style was very familiar. Even with a broken arm, they still stubbornly fought without making a sound. This was because he had received the same training, and that was Root's style.
"Aoyama? What about the other three? "Shikamaru shouted softly, and his eyes flashed.
"Don't worry about them, let them go and report to their leader. If we kill them all, there will be more trouble next time. I don't want to make a bloody scene at home." Aoyama's voice wasn't loud, but it wasn't soft either. He raised his eyes and casually glanced at them.
He calmly walked to the two corpses, and looked down at them. He kicked off the masks on their faces, and looked at them carefully. They were also very unfamiliar, and he didn't recognize any of them.
"Shikamaru, Dingji, Ino, have you seen these guys before?" Aoyama pointed at the corpses on the ground.
"Yes! I haven't seen them before. "Shikamaru walked over, and his expression was very serious.
Dingji also shook his head. These faces were very unfamiliar, and they were very young, so they didn't know many people. It wasn't strange that they didn't recognize them, and Aoyama only asked in hope.
"The three of them are gone." Ino said quietly. Her gaze turned and fell on the lush branches and leaves. It was as if she could see through the layers of green branches and leaves.
"Aoyama, did they come for you?" Shikamaru asked, and his eyes were very serious.
"It should be, with such obvious murderous intent, they can't be here to scare me, right?" Aoyama's expression softened, and a little smile appeared on his face.
"You're still smiling? I still haven't figured out where these guys came from. " Shikamaru rolled his eyes, squatted down and carefully examined the corpses. The two corpses were almost cut in half at the waist, and only a little bit of flesh was left to connect them. There were only ninja tools on their bodies, and there was nothing to identify them.
"There's no need to check the corpses, they should be Root's people. When we fought just now, I already felt it, otherwise, I wouldn't have killed all of them." Aoyama spread out her hands and said with a smile.
Shikamaru immediately stopped what he was doing. Checking the corpses wasn't something fun. When he stood up and saw that Aoyama was actually still smiling, the corner of his mouth immediately drooped down. What kind of person is this!
"It's just that I am not sure who sent them, my teacher? Or the two competitors that I have never met before? However, the mastermind is definitely one of them. "Aoyama raised her eyebrows.
"Competitors … Danzō …" Shikamaru's brows tightly wrinkled, and thought about the possibilities. At the same time, he asked, "I can understand if your competitors want to get rid of you, but Danzō … why do you think that he would make a move on you?"
"This is hard to say, anyway, my teacher has always been a gloomy person, and I heard that his temper is getting weirder and weirder. I wouldn't be surprised if he does anything. Did he just want to test my strength? Or did he want to provoke me to fight with the two competitors that I have never met before? Or maybe he really doesn't like the current me, and wants to get rid of me? Who would be able to guess! "
