Chapter 83: Exposed
"Captain, why don't you go?"
Ryosuke knocked away several flying shurikens with one blow, then turned his head and said to Yugao who had come to help him.
"If I leave, what about you?"
Yugao said something, and then instantly drew her sword and fought with a ninja on the opposite side.
"Yueyue, run as soon as you find an opportunity."
Yugao fought for a few moves with the ninja on the opposite side, and found that the opponent's swordsmanship level was higher than her own.
She could hold on for a while, but if the battle lasts a long time, she was almost certain to lose.
"Captain, what are you talking about?"
Ryosuke pulled the sword out of the ninja's neck across from him.
The blood on the blade was still dripping down the tip.
Yugao: "???"
'You're already done with him? Is your opponent so weak?'
Yugao was a veteran ninja, but at this moment, she couldn't help being stunned by this wave of operations by Ryosuke.
Fortunately, it wasn't just her who was stunned, but also the ninja opposite her.
Otherwise, even if it was just a moment of stupefaction, it would be enough to make her die more than once.
"Yueyue, you..."
Yugao didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, another Ryosuke appeared behind the opposite ninja.
Puff!
The sword instantly pierced the man's chest and his heart was stabbed.
"You----"
This ninja never thought that Ryosuke would sneak attack at this time until his death.
Besides...
He didn't realize at all that the Ryosuke on the opposite side was just a clone.
Boom!
Another Ryosuke disappeared instantly.
Yugao looked at him in surprise.
"Captain, don't be dazed, let's go!"
Ryosuke directly took Yugao's little hand, and instantly swept towards the depths of the forest.
The other side
Hyuga Nakaji, who was still trying to hold back the three ninjas on the opposite side, looked back at this time and found that the other two ninjas had been killed.
The original target Ryosuke had also disappeared.
"Trash! Hurry up!"
His face darkened for the first time, and he simply stopped acting.
"Let's chase together, we must not let Ryosuke escape. The task entrusted by Lord Danzo must not fail."
The three ninjas on the opposite side are actually root ninjas, and their task is to cooperate with Hyuga Nakaji to find a chance to kill the target Ryosuke this time.
And bring back the dead body of the target.
It's just that an accident happened just after the mission started.
Then, the four immediately chased after Ryosuke.
The three root ninjas all have Jōnin level strength.
And Hyuga Nakaji is an Elite Jōnin!
Their speed is naturally much faster than Ryosuke who is only at the Chūnin level in the data.
But after chasing for a while, they found that they couldn't catch up with Ryosuke who was running away.
"Damn! The information is wrong, the target is not a Chūnin at all!"
Hyuga Nakaji had been locking onto the position of the target in front of him with the Byakugan.
He found that no matter how hard they chased, the distance between the two sides had not been shortened at all, and had even been increased by a little bit.
This made him secretly scold the people in the intelligence department, because they didn't understand the real strength of the target at all.
Is this really Chūnin?
Can a Chūnin run faster than an Elite Jōnin?
What the hell is up with a person?
Just when he was cursing the intelligence department, the two people in front suddenly stopped.
"Can't run anymore?"
He frowned, feeling that this was not the case.
But when he wanted to stop to remind the three root ninjas to be careful, the three of them rushed up without hesitation.
"These idiots!"
He cursed secretly, and could only give up to accompany them to chase after Ryosuke.
But he also wondered what was happening.
Because within the observation range of his Byakugam, there were only the Chakra fluctuations of Ryosuke and Yugao.
There was no third person.
That is to say, there is no possibility of someone planning an ambush here.
But the reason why they didn't run away was impossible to find out no matter how he looked at it.
It can't be that these two people suddenly don't want to run away after running for a while, and plan to fight back, right?
He admits that Ryosuke is far more powerful than he imagined.
At the age of 12, he already has the strength of a formal Jōnin.
But no matter how strong he is, is it possible that he can counter-kill three official Jōnin plus an Elite Jōnin?
Not to mention, there are three teammates behind them who are still on their way.
No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to lose.
Unless there is some ninja who can block his Byakugan's perception lying in ambush over there.
Are there any ninjas like that?
Anyway, he has never heard of it, let alone encountered it.
In an open space.
Ryosuke let go of Yugao who had been in his arms just now.
"Yueyue, why aren't you running away?" Yugao asked suspiciously.
Although she was surprised by Ryosuke's speed just now, why did he stop suddenly when he was still running?
"It's almost time to end this farce. I'll just end them here."
As Ryosuke said, he reached out and took off the mask on his face.
"Ryosuke, are you crazy?"
Yugao couldn't understand what Ryosuke was doing.
"Sister Yugao, of course I'm not crazy, but no matter what you see later, don't tell anyone other than you and me."
"This is a little secret between the two of us, okay?"
Yugao: "???"
"Ryosuke, wouldn't you-"
"Shh~! Here they come." Ryosuke said suddenly.
Then, he looked over there.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Three figures landed in front of the two without distinction.
Then a second or two later, Hyuga Nakaji, still in Anbu uniform, arrived.
"Squad leader, what are you doing?"
Yugao stared at Hyuga Nakaji who was standing with the Kumo ninjas in disbelief.
"Sister Yugao, are you confused why our squad leader is standing with these Kumo ninjas?" Ryosuke said with a faint smile.
Yugao nodded subconsciously.
She really couldn't understand.
"Actually, they're not Kumo ninjas at all, am I right?"
Ryosuke looked at the three root ninjas who were disguised as Kumo ninjas.
"Three ninjas from the root organization, do you want to continue acting?"
