Konoha Tatsuno

On the lush forest path, five figures walked silently under the afterglow of the winter sunset.

This group of people was the four members of Class 31 who escorted Shennong back to Konoha Village.

At the rear of the team, a brown ninja dog followed Tatsuno.

Ever since he was rescued by Tatsuno again that day, Brown Pill has officially become his psychic beast.

Tatsuno originally had no intention of signing Brown Pill as his psychic beast. After all, it was just an ordinary ninja dog with too average strength and limited growth potential.

In the world of Naruto, apart from Payne's three-headed dog, no ninja dog has ever been seen that is very powerful.

This is seriously inconsistent with Tatsuno's idea of ​​having a ninja beast as powerful as the Sannin.

But Zangwan relied on him, and as soon as he recovered from his injury, he became Tatsuno's follower, and he couldn't get rid of him no matter what!

And Nobu Ichikawa, the leader of Class 31 who disappeared for a few days, did not allow Tatsuno to take it with him casually.

With no other choice, Tatsuno had no choice but to sign it and become his first psychic beast.

Fortunately, the number of ninja psychic beasts is not limited to one, and the existence of Brown Maru will not have much impact on Tatsuno's future coveting of more powerful top psychic beasts.

However, when he thought that he would have to bear the rations of a ninja dog in the future, Tatsuno couldn't help but worry about his wallet.

With Long Ye's financial resources, he can barely support his cultivation at the moment.

"It's getting late, let's rest here tonight!

Tatsuno, go and set traps around! "

The group of people walked in silence for half an hour. Nobu Ichikawa jumped up to the tree to check, then found a suitable campsite and gave instructions to Tatsuno.

"Okay, teacher!"

Long Ye heard the words and responded, then quickly turned around and left.

Arriving at the outskirts of the camp where he was preparing to camp, Tatsuno took out the wire and bells from his ninja bag and began to set up a warning trap.

After this period of study, Long Ye has become extremely familiar with these basic skills for survival in the wild.

This was a matter of life and death, and Long Ye didn't dare to be careless.

By the time Tatsuno finished all this and returned to the campsite, Sagawa and Yuhihiru had already set up a bonfire, and the four of them sat around the bonfire and took out dry food to eat.

Brown Pill was sitting quietly on the side. Sagawa and Yuhihiru didn't feed him. It always only ate Tatsuno's food.

Tatsuno walked to Zangwan and sat down. After throwing him a piece of dried meat, he also took out the dry food and ate it.

The five people sat around the campfire and ate dry food quietly, none of them in the mood to talk.

After traveling for three consecutive days, everyone was a little tired.

Soon, after the meal, the four members of Class 31 each found a tree branch to rest, while Shennong found a place by the bonfire to rest alone.

Suddenly, the sound of figures flying through the silent forest was heard.

Beside the fire, Shen Nong, who was resting against the roots of a tree, gently opened his eyes.

"Be careful!"

Ichikawa Nobu's urgent warning sounded in the air, and he appeared in front of Shennong in a blink of an eye.

On the tree branches, Tatsuno, Sagawa, and Yuhi Hui also jumped down, forming a triangle formation, guarding Shennong in the center.

Sa~

Sa~

In a few flashes, four figures appeared not far away.

Under the light of the campfire, Tatsuno discovered that the four of them were all wearing ninja combat uniforms and a white animal mask on their heads.

Anbu ninja or root ninja?

Looking at this familiar outfit, Long Ye felt slightly alert.

In Konoha, in addition to the ANBU ninjas directly under the Hokage, there are also Danzo's root ninjas who dress up like this.

If the opponent is an ANBU directly under the Hokage, Tatsuno will not be too worried, but if it is a ninja, he must be extremely careful.

Compared with the ANBU directly under the Hokage, the root ninjas have always acted unscrupulously. Most of them are mission machines without emotions.

Under Danzo's control, Genbu has done countless bad things secretly in the name of Konoha over the years.

For these people, Long Ye was extremely afraid.

"What are the three adults doing here?"

Looking at the three people's outfits, the vigilant look on Ichikawa Nobu's face softened slightly, and then he asked in a deep voice.

"Ichikawa Shinchunin, we were ordered to come to pick up Dr. Shennong and return to Konoha."

The leader of the three was a ninja wearing a white cat mask, he took a step forward and said.

"On orders?

Protecting Dr. Shennong is our mission in Class 31. It would be against the rules for the three adults to take him away. This requires an order from the Hokage's office."

Hearing this, the look on Ichikawa Nobu's face suddenly became slightly ugly, and his body that had been somewhat relaxed became alert again.

For ninjas, mission comes first!

Even if there are unexpected changes, the village will explain it and will not let people give up halfway.

Seeing this scene, Long Ye's heart immediately lifted.

"Of course it's Hokage-sama's order."

The ANBU ninja in the white cat mask nodded.

"Then please show me the warrant!"

Ichikawa Shin still had no intention of giving in, and stretched out his hand to signal.

"Eagle, give it to him!"

The white cat masked ninja ordered to his companion on the right.

Beside him, the ninja wearing a hawk mask walked toward Nobu Ichikawa with a scroll in his hand.

Ichikawa Nobu took the scroll cautiously and slowly opened it.

However, just when Nobu Ichikawa opened the scroll in his hand and prepared to take a look, a sudden change occurred!

Ninja Technique. Super Beast Fake Painting. Snake in Kusama

I saw the hawk-faced ninja on the opposite side quickly pick up a seal in his hand, and immediately used a ninjutsu.

A white smoke rose up, and several water snakes rushed out of the scroll in an instant, tightly entangled Ichikawa Nobu's body and limbs, and the mouth of one of the snakes directly hit Ichikawa Nobu's neck.

partial doubling

Not far away, Tatsuno, who had been secretly on guard for a long time, saw this and didn't even think about it. The chakra in his body was running rapidly, and his hands were instantly stretched and enlarged.

Judging from the actions of these four ninjas, there is no doubt that they are root ninjas.

Only the root commanded by Danzo can act so unscrupulously!

His right hand intercepted the water snake just as it was about to bite Ichikawa Nobu's vital part, and his left hand grabbed the snake's body wrapped around Ichikawa Nobu's body.

Break it for me!

Tatsuno gritted his teeth and exerted force with his hands, and the bodies of several water snakes immediately broke apart, and then turned into ink and flowed down Ichikawa Nobu's body.

Tatsuno's quick reaction completely exceeded the expectations of the three root ninjas on the opposite side. Before they had time to react, Tatsuno had already helped Nobu Ichikawa out of trouble.

Wind Escape. Wind Cut Technique

The moment his body was freed from the trap, Nobu Ichikawa pinched the seal with both hands and immediately used a wind escape ninjutsu.

A strong wind suddenly rose in the forest, blowing towards the opposite side like a sharp blade.

The four root ninjas saw this and did not move. The leader of the white cat mask ninja pressed his hands on the ground, and a wall of earth rose quickly.

earth escape. earth flow wall

Countless wind blades cut into the earth wall, leaving cuts.

"Come on!"

Taking advantage of their defense time, Nobu Ichikawa quickly ran to Tatsuno, who was somewhat out of strength, grabbed him, and then said to Sagawa and Yuhiki.

The four members of Class 31 quickly retreated, and the ninja dog Brown Maru also fled.

Facing four root ninjas, it is impossible to defeat them with the strength of their Class 31.

In order to save his life, Nobu Ichikawa made a prompt decision and led his men to evacuate.

As for the mission, I will wait until I return to the village to ask for an explanation from the roots.

"Tatsuno, you did a good job!"

It wasn't until they had flown far back and confirmed that the four root ninjas had not caught up that the four members of Class 31 stopped. Nobu Ichikawa looked at Tatsuno Michi.

On the side, Yuhi Hui and Sagawa also looked at Tatsuno with complicated eyes, with admiration and envy.

In the situation just now, Tatsuno was able to decisively and quickly save Ichikawa Nobu at the critical moment. This kind of quick reaction ability and greatly improved strength were inferior to the two of them.

Compared with the former Xianyu Longye, his strength, which is now able to use part of the doubling technique, has exceeded the two's expectations.

"Teacher Nobu Ichikawa, what about our mission?"

Hearing this, Long Ye didn't have any pride on his face, and asked in a low voice with a calm face.

A partial doubling technique almost emptied the chakra in his body, his strength was still too weak!

"Don't worry, they are all ninjas in the village. Although they suddenly interfere with our mission for some reason, they will definitely give an explanation."

Hearing this, Ichikawa Nobu comforted him.

However, he couldn't hide the look of shock and anger in his eyes when he spoke.

As a chuunin, Nobu Ichikawa just now clearly felt the killing intent of the root ninja who took action. If Tatsuno hadn't activated his family's ninjutsu in time to rescue him, he might really have died at the hands of these root ninjas. .

The unscrupulous behavior of the root ninja made Ichikawa Nobu couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart.

When he returned to the village, he must report their matters to the Hokage.

At that moment, the four members of Class 31 found a secluded place to hide, preparing to take a detour and speed back to Konoha Village the next day.

"He's a pretty good kid!

Dr. Shennong, please! "

Behind, after forcing Class 31 back, the four root ninjas did not continue the pursuit. The ninja wearing a white cat mask looked at Tatsuno's fleeing back and muttered something, and then stepped forward towards Shennong.

The order given by Lord Danzo to them was to bring back Dr. Shennong intact. They had no intention of pursuing the escape of the four members of Class 31.

"Who sent you here?"

Standing by the bonfire, Shen Nong, who witnessed all this, looked at the four root ninjas opposite with a calm expression.

Seeing this scene, the ninja with the white cat mask couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. Shennong's reaction was somewhat beyond his expectation.

Those who can be invited by Danzo-sama are indeed not mediocre people.

Thinking of this, the ninja with the white cat mask couldn't help but said:

"Doctor Shen Nong, don't worry. It was Orochimaru-sama who was worried about your safety, so he specifically ordered us to take you back to the village."

"Is it Orochimaru? Let's go!"

Hearing this, Shennong's expression changed slightly, and he murmured something in a low voice. After hesitating for a few seconds, he did not refuse, and followed the four people away.

The relationship between Shennong and Orochimaru is somewhat complicated, with both cooperation and mutual wariness.

Orochimaru was one of the three Konoha ninjas with great military exploits. Not only was he powerful, but his thoughts were completely invisible. Shen Nong had to be very careful when dealing with him.
