Anime Heroine Who Travels Through the Blackened Way

"Hmph~ Now that we're done, let's get up quickly. We have to rush to the Country of Waves today."

Folding the map and stuffing it into his sleeve, Kakuzu's green eyes narrowed slightly.

"I have a hunch that maybe~ I can meet a few very valuable guys this time."

false alarm

"It's so boring~~Why isn't there even an enemy~~"

Naruto, who was looking around, said this three times already. The golden-haired boy was scurrying here and there excitedly like a large dog, sniffing there. His actual movements didn't look like he was looking for an enemy, but more like a canine. Searching behavior of rabbits.

"I told you, how can you expect the enemy to attack~"

Kakashi, who was walking behind the team to hold the line, was a little speechless, but it was easy to see from the smile in his eyes that he did not hate Naruto's enthusiasm and excitement. After all, it seemed that he had had one before. An equally reckless companion.

"The current C-level escort mission will not be attacked by hostile ninjas. At most, it will only guard against some bandits and bandits on the way. Even if those guys who fall down at the first touch show up, it is not worth looking forward to."

Sasuke explained the definition of the mission very calmly, which made Hinata on the side look slightly sideways. If she remembered correctly, the second pillar in the original book did not talk so much.

It can be seen that because the life of the crew forced this lonely young man to live with everyone, it more or less eliminated some of the barriers between him and others.

However, it is true. According to the original work, this Dazuna here is undoubtedly the guy who has been targeted by Cardo, the monopoly businessman of the Kingdom of Waves. The assassin sent should have been in place long ago. Why didn't he show up?

Thinking of this, Hinata frowned slightly, and the white-eyed girl's eyes narrowed slightly. She had already opened her blood inheritance limit, and planned to take a good look around to see if she had forgotten anything.

Kakashi is very satisfied with Hinata's behavior. In fact, since leaving Konoha Village, Hinata will regularly turn on her Byakugan to confirm the surrounding situation. The Byakugan, which has both perspective and full-range vision, is undoubtedly an excellent choice in terms of investigation. One of the best methods in the entire ninja world.

Although I don’t know that Hinata is confirming the plot, Kakashi undoubtedly recognizes her vigilance. After all, after leaving the safety of Konoha Village, the outside world is full of dangers, even if it is basically basic on the surface. C-level missions that are not dangerous should not be underestimated. This is in line with the correct concept of ninjas' meticulousness.

On this point, Kakashi has no doubts about Hinata becoming the captain of Team 7. Although he was originally worried that this white-eyed girl would be too philistine and ignore the basic laws of the ninja world, now it seems that this is the case. Don't worry at all.

"Okay, Naruto, just be quiet a little bit..."

At this moment, Hinata's footsteps stopped suddenly, and her tone also had a hint of solemnity: "Whenever you see something bad, be vigilant."

Yes, just as Hinata knew about the plot, the enemy NPC that should appear on this road had indeed appeared, but... it was slightly different from what she expected.

With Hinata's accurate positioning, the group quickly found the bush she was talking about. The sight that caught his eye made Naruto subconsciously take half a step back. He had never seen a dead body before and was undoubtedly shocked.

The two dead bodies were hanging in a big tree in the center. Judging from the dried blood, they must have been dead for a while, and their standard ninja outfits and the Kirigakure Village Protector on their foreheads Well, it clearly shows that they are not ordinary people.

"It seems that the ninjas from Kirigakure Village were killed here for some reason."

Kakashi's eyes also became serious subconsciously. There are no towns nearby, so it is certain that these two Kirigakure ninjas did not die in accidents. They should have been killed while staying here, which means... .

It was probably to ambush someone, for example, my own team.

"But, since it's a murder, why do you want to leave something like this behind?"

Sasuke, who had seen countless corpses, no longer felt much about this bloody scene. What he cared about was the strange pattern on the ground. It was undoubtedly a strange symbol drawn with blood, with a circle embedded in it. The shape of a triangle is obviously not meaningless.

"It could be a emblem of revenge, or it could be a family crest that represents identity. All in all, it looks like it was done by a pretty vicious guy."

Without any intention of approaching the corpse rashly, Kakashi turned his head slightly and then observed his three disciples.

There was no doubt that Naruto's performance was the worst. It could be seen from the frightened expression of the golden-haired boy that he did not have a clear understanding of the fight that ninjas would inevitably go through.

Sasuke's performance was quite satisfactory. After all, he was a survivor who had witnessed cruel events, so it was no surprise that he would have extraordinary endurance.

But...Hinata's performance was a bit intriguing. There was no fear, disgust or uneasiness in her expression. There was only a kind of indifference that showed no emotion, and a slight hint of surprise.

"It's strange. There are no villages or towns nearby. Why would a guy like this appear here? And it seemed that they were killed directly by some strange guy. There weren't many signs of fighting on their clothes and bodies. It looked like they were killed. The people who killed them were easily subdued."

Noticing Kakashi's gaze, Hinata put her hands into the pockets of her coat and spoke her opinion lightly.

Indeed, the appearance of these two Kirigakure ninjas was expected by her, and she knew the iconic pattern on the ground very well, but... what puzzled her was why these two things collided with each other. .

This doesn't make sense, or is it just... some unexpected coincidence?

"Okay, Hinata, think about other things slowly, we'd better leave here now."

He walked over and pressed Hinata's head. Kakashi didn't plan to stay here for too long. Since it wasn't an incident involving his group, it was best not to participate.

"By the way, Naruto, don't be afraid, the probability of being killed is not high~ So, you don't need to tremble."

By the way, he teased Naruto for his timidity. Kakashi obviously did not intend to accommodate the other party in this regard. Since he is a ninja, he must accept the cruel and bloody part. This is something Hinata and Sasuke have learned by themselves. But Naruto obviously hasn't reached it yet.

"Damn it~!! I obviously... practiced hard too!!"

Seeing the attitudes of Sasuke and Hinata, Naruto clenched his fists with reluctance. For him, such backwardness and cowardice were obviously intolerable.

But Hinata didn't care about the golden retriever protagonist's current state. She is thinking about another thing now. Judging from the logo of this evil sect, it is undoubtedly the work of the immortal duo in the Akatsuki organization.

After all, Hidan, who is Santai, is a murderous and fanatical cultist, and his opponent enjoys killing. If this is the case, it is not surprising that these two unlucky little chunin will die. It must be their plan When ambushing Tatsuna, he was discovered by the immortal duo who happened to be passing by. If it were Kakuzu alone, the bounty of these two sidekicks would not be enough for him to waste his time.

But for Hidan, killing these two guys is obviously as easy as eating snacks. What is certain is that in front of an S-level rebellious ninja like Hidan who has an immortal body, these two nominally middle-class ninjas Shinobi, but in fact the Kirigakure scumbags who are no match for the unstrengthened Sasuke in the original novel cannot even escape.

This can explain why these two scumbags died here, but this is obviously not the point.

If that's not clear enough, let's do some comparisons.

The first is identity: Kakashi and others are undoubtedly active Konoha ninjas, while Hidan and Kakuzu are rebel ninjas. Theoretically speaking, in the ninja world, active ninjas have the duty to hunt down rebellious ninjas, and rebellious ninjas don't mind killing two more active ninjas. Anyway, the two are basically equivalent to the police and fugitives. There is basically no room for communication.

Then there is the strength: Even if Team 7 has been strengthened at least three times compared to the original work, plus Kakashi, Konoha's elite Jonin, they are still far behind when compared with this undead duo. . Needless to say, Hidan has an immortal body and a murderous curse like Shiji Pingxue, as well as the kind of taijutsu that allows him to fight Kakashi with the Sharingan in the original work without losing, even if he is the only one. , I’m afraid it’s not something that the current Team 7 can handle.

Not to mention Kakuzu. Although his battle with the first Hokage Senju Hashirama was too illusory, the strength he showed in the original work was undoubtedly a real Kage level, five mutually coordinated attribute ninjutsu, and that This kind of clone masked monster can seek out the enemy's attack on its own. Coupled with the abnormal setting of five lives, it is certain that his combat power in frontal combat is at least five times that of Hidan. If he fights against a monster with a single attack method, Hidan, maybe Team 7 still has hope of escaping, but if they were to face Kakuzu, let alone fight, it would be impossible to even escape.

Then there's the motive: Hidan is a neurotic murderer. When he sees someone in such a wilderness, he basically considers killing him first, and he doesn't even have the extra thought to kill first and then kill him. Although Kakuzu usually doesn't do much, it seems that there is at least 10 to 20 million in underground bounties on Kakashi's head. If Kakashi is discovered by Kakashi in a place where reinforcements can't arrive in time, there will be consequences. Well, the finance minister of the Akatsuki organization who loves money as much as his life will definitely not mind accepting this extra money.

The conclusion is: if they meet Hidan and Kakuzu here, they will be dead.

Well, he's definitely dead, unless Naruto can explode the Nine-Tails, but according to this guy's current weak control over the Nine-Tails' chakra, he might first turn back to his teammates after blasting the Nine-Tails. A paw waved over.

so...

After confirming this fact, Hinata raised her head in silence: Should she say that she would rather meet Zabuza, the man carrying the big sword at this time?

Whoosh! ! !

At this moment, a shrill sound of wind suddenly came, and the startled Kakashi shouted loudly: "Get down!!"

After everyone instinctively held their heads and fell to the ground, with the sound of a blade chopping, a huge chopping knife also slashed into the body of the big tree in front of them.

"Oh~~I see, it was you who killed these two of my subordinates~I thought something happened to them."

A burly figure stood on the big knife with an arrogant voice, and the surrounding fog seemed to suddenly become thicker.

The strong murderous aura seemed to be like mist, and it began to spread quickly after this figure appeared. As it slowly turned back, the eyes under the forehead protector were also filled with the ferocity of a ghost. There is no doubt that this is a person. A guy who killed countless people.
