Poked A Hornet Nest!

"Don't you feel that the thunder from before was a little too frequent?"

"Isn't it normal to have a thunderstorm? Don't worry. There are so many protective measures outside. Many of Konoha's spies will be sent to their deaths!"

"That's true. I hope I was overthinking it."

.........

In the dense forest above the canyon where Kumogakure was located, Aoba and the other two constantly observed the layout below and then wrote and drew it on the scroll.

Because they didn't know how long it would take for the people they killed to contact this side, they had to seize every minute and every second and then evacuate this place as soon as possible, handing the information they had found to the headquarters.

But at this moment, a huge fireball suddenly exploded behind them, followed by the sound of traps being triggered one after another!

Someone was following behind them!

This thought simultaneously appeared in the heads of Aoba and the other two.

Then, without hesitation, they put away the scroll and turned to run!

Although the trees behind them had been ignited by the fire after the explosion, this was also their only way to survive.

Moreover, the rain that never stopped in the sky was also helping them to put out the fire!

There was still hope.

At the same time, the change on this side also attracted the attention of countless Kumogakure Ninjas. The sound of enemy attack instantly sounded.

Then, a large number of furious Kumogakure Ninjas chased after them!

They actually had their lair touched by someone and still didn't know about Akatsuki. If not for the 'triggered' trap, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

This damned heavy rain!

Aoba and the other two desperately tried to escape on the way here, but there was already the sound of a large number of enemies chasing after them from behind.

Moreover, because these Kumogakure Ninjas were all martial arts, their speed was not slow at all.

Feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat, Aoba couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Who is it!"

Logically speaking, they should have been very careful along the way. There shouldn't be any fish that escaped the net.

However, at the most urgent moment, someone stabbed him in the back. No, it should be said to have poked a hornet's nest!

If it were Kumogakure's people, they wouldn't need to go through so much trouble. They only needed to report it secretly, and they would be surrounded.

But if this person wasn't on Kumogakure's side, then who could it be?

At this moment, a gloomy old face appeared in front of Aoba. Could it be Danzo again?

It was not impossible. After all, it was easy to infiltrate with the strength of Roots.

In other words, they might have been targeted from the moment they arrived at the front line, so everything behind them was logical.

"This old bastard really has a lingering spirit!"

It was not that he always wanted to throw the blame on Danzo, but he had no one to suspect except Danzo.

As for whether Danzo was really causing trouble or not, it would be very simple to find out, but the premise was that they could return alive!

A large number of shuriken were thrown out of Itachi's hands as if they were thrown around, but after a simple geometric collision, they suddenly turned into a net of heaven and earth and shrouded the enemy chasing behind him.

A Kumogakure Ninja, who did not expect this change, immediately began to resist in a flurry, but the others behind him instantly jumped over them and continued to chase after them.

Kumogakure's Thunder Escape Ninjutsu was known for its explosive power, destructive power, and speed.

Although Itachi and Gekkou Hayate were not slow, they were unable to escape the pursuit of the enemies behind them. If not for Itachi frequently using Kunai and the simple trap made from the explosion talismans to delay the enemy's pursuit, they would have been caught up long ago.

But if this continued, there was still no possibility of them escaping.

Aoba could use [Thunder Breathing]to try and escape or exchange positions with the 'Prince ' he had left in a safe place long ago, but this also meant that he had to give up on Itachi and Gekkou Hayate!

In addition, he could also take[Schrodinger's Zanpakuto] out and fight with it, even if it was just [Shikai], it could increase the chances of escape.

However, using Zanpakuto also meant that his second identity would be exposed, and the consequences would be very serious.

Therefore, the best way was for him to stay behind to cover the retreat and then wait for an opportunity to escape.

However, without the buff effect of [Crimson Swordsman]'s skin, these Kumogakure Ninjas would not be stupid enough to let go of Itachi and Hayate and just kill him.

This became a dead cycle again!

After thinking about it, it seemed that there was only one way.

At this time, Itachi suddenly said to him, "With your speed, you have a chance to break out. Hayate and I will stay to buy time for you. Mission first."

"Yes, don't misunderstand. I am still waiting for you to bring reinforcements to save us."

Gekkou Hayate could not even breathe, but he was still in the mood to joke.

Last time, you were the one who stayed behind to lure the enemy away. This time, it is finally my turn.

Gekkou Hayate was very free and easy. He felt that it was not a pity to die for his companions.

However, Aoba did not seem to want to accept this favor. He even directly scolded, "What a bullshit mission! Do you want to learn from me to be a hero? Dream on! The reinforcements are already on the way. Hold on. We can all return alive!"

Itachi and Hayate did not believe what he said this time, but before they could say anything, another voice sounded directly in front of them.

"Go back alive? I think you should all die!"

Shua, shua, shua!

Several figures finally passed Aoba and the others, blocking their way!

Itachi and Hayate's hearts sank at the same time. They had been surrounded by Kumogakure's pursuers. There was even no lack of Jonin among them. There were even more enemies coming from behind.

They had indeed poked a hornet's nest!

They were clearly just three little kids, but they had 'lured' so many enemies. It was enough for them to be proud.

Then, at this moment, Aoba directly shouted, "Trust me!"

At this time, they could only fight to the death!

Therefore, with Aoba as the lead, Itachi and Hayate immediately followed behind him and rushed forward in a triangular formation!

Kumogakure Jonin, who was standing at the front, immediately lit up his lightning attribute chakra. He wanted to let these brats feel what despair was!

But at this time, Itachi, who had been hiding behind Aoba, suddenly revealed half of his body. Sharingan, who had three tomoe, directly looked directly at the other party.

This move did not require any hand seals. The illusion technique that could be activated with just eye contact instantly dragged the defenseless Kumogakure Jonin into the spiritual world that Itachi had constructed!

The four wedges firmly nailed his four limbs to the pillar, making him completely unable to move.

At the same time, a sharp pain also reflected on the other person's body from the spiritual world, making him let out a tragic cry.
