Chapter 82: [BONUS CHAPTER] Assassination Attempt?
Village entrance.
Ryosuke found that the Anbu did not need to show the village guards a certificate when going out of the village to perform the mission.
The guards who were in charge of guarding the gate of the village didn't stop them.
Instead, they watched their brigade disappear, with curious expressions on their faces.
'There are so many Anbu dispatched, what happened?' The two guards thought curiously.
A few minutes later.
Ryosuke and the others have arrived some distance away from the village.
At this time, the team leader told them the situation of the mission.
"Our goal this time is to recover the village's confidential information. The opposite side is suspected to be ninjas from the Land of Thunder. Everyone, be careful. This time the mission can only succeed and not fail."
He announced loudly for the first time, and then continued to lead the crowd to start tracking the target.
Half an hour later.
He stopped for the second time.
"The target has separated, so we will also separate!" He said.
Then with a finger, he let the people of the four teams disperse and track the target from four directions.
"Purple, you come with me."
He finally said to Yugao and their team.
Yugao nodded and had no opinion.
She knew very well why he had made such an arrangement.
It was because the other three squads were led by official Jōnin, and only their seventh squad's leader had only special Jōnin level strength.
That's why they should follow the team leader with the strength of an Elite Jōnin.
"Set off!"
The team leader led the team of the seventh class, and followed a trace on the left.
On the way, Ryosuke looked at the team leader in front of him.
The other party should be a member of the branch house of the Hyuga clan.
With the strength of an Elite Jōnin, he also belongs to the elite class among the Hyuga clan members.
But, the branch house of the Hyuga family has no human rights.
They can only obey the orders of the main family.
Even if the other party is just an ordinary Jōnin, or even just a Chūnin.
As long as they are members of the Hyuga clan, they have to be obedient.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Ryosuke felt that the Hyuga clansman in front of him seemed to be watching him several times just now.
Once or twice, it may still be a coincidence.
But after five or six times, Ryosuke became suspicious.
'This guy knows me?'
'Is he from the Root faction who came to assassinate me?'
Ryosuke thought jokingly.
'Wait! It seems that this possibility is not small!'
As we all know, what Danzo likes to do most is to dig out talented ninjas from the village, and then fool them to join the root to serve him.
There are many ninjas under him from various major ninja clans.
In addition to not having a Sarutobi clan member, there are even ninjas from Koharu and Homura's clans.
And what Danzo likes most are those ninjas who have bloodline succession limits.
But the Uchiha were too arrogant to be used by him.
So, he settled for the next best thing.
It is quite normal for Danzo to focus on the Hyuga clan.
After all, the Hyuga clan has a main and branch house system, which makes it easier for him to confuse those branch house ninjas.
Although the existence of the Caged Bird makes the fate of the ninjas of the branch house of the Hyuga clan be controlled by the main house.
But as long as Danzo says something, is it possible that the Hyuga will go against him, the leader of root?
Therefore, among the roots led by Danzo, there are some ninjas from the branch house of the Hyuga clan.
Even, this Hyuga clansman was also a member who was recruited by Danzo.
'Is Danzo planning to attack me so soon?' Ryosuke thought to himself.
But, Ryosuke was not worried about his safety.
The ninjas that Danzo can send out to assassinate him should be of Elite Jōnin level at most.
It is impossible for a Kage-level ninja to be sent to assassinate him.
Not to mention that Danzo has no such talent at all.
Even if there was, it wouldn't be dispatched.
And Ryosuke has long ignored a few Elite Jonins.
Even if Ryosuke stands still and lets them hit him, they can't kill him.
A B-rank ninjutsu performed by a Chūnin can only make Ryosuke feel a little uncomfortable, but it can't break his defense at all.
So, even with an Elite Jōnin, the best they can do is cause some minor injuries to him.
And with the recovery ability of Ryosuke, this degree of injury can be recovered in the blink of an eye.
If they want to kill him, they will need some powerful ninjutsu.
For example, Kakashi's Raikiri has extremely strong penetrating power, and can directly break through the defense of Ryosuke, and even hurt his internal organs.
But most Elite Jōnin actually don't have this kind of lethality.
After all, not everyone is a genius like Kakashi who can create ninjutsu like Raikiri himself.
What's more, Ryosuke will not really stand still and let them fight.
He is not a statue.
Ten minutes later.
The team leader in front stopped suddenly.
"What's the matter, Team Leader?" Yugao asked.
"Be careful! There is an ambush ahead!" The team leader said in a low voice.
"They're coming, fast!"
What?
Yugao and the others were startled.
On the other hand, Ryosuke seemed very calm, as if he had expected it a long time ago.
After a while, several figures sprang out from the forest.
All they did was attack Ryosuke and the other six.
Especially Ryosuke who was directly targeted by the two ninjas on the opposite side.
"I'll hold them back, you go!"
The team leader held off three opposing ninjas whose strength had reached the level of a Jōnin by himself.
Then he yelled at Yugao and the others, telling them to leave quickly.
"Squad leader, but..."
Yugao was still hesitating about whether to leave or not.
At this time, the team leader shouted loudly, and directly used the Eight Trigrams Air Palm to force the three Jōnins on the opposite side back.
"Go! This is an order!!!" He yelled.
This time, Yugao did not hesitate any longer.
"You go first!"
She yelled at Tengu and the three of them.
Then she rushed to Ryosuke.
"Captain!" Black Fang yelled.
"Stop yelling, let's go over and find other people for support immediately, captain and the others can hold on."
Tengu pulled Black Fang, and then flew towards the distance directly.
Black Fang and Shadow also shook their heads when they saw it, and followed.
"Captain, Yueyue, you must hold on!"
