Chapter 226 225 Containment

Chapter 226 225. Containment

The situation became clear through the exchange of information.

Wolf's adoptive father, the huge ninja Owl, is the biggest traitor of the Hirata family tonight.

The wolf took out the bag he was carrying and opened the key to the hidden Buddhist temple.

His mind, which was devoted to the Savior, also began to think.

The adoptive father gave him this key before he died, in order to lead him here, and then have a fight with Madam Butterfly, who was already surrounded by enemies because of betrayal.

Regardless of the outcome of this battle, only one thing is certain -

Miko's defense force will be extremely weak!

In other words, does the adoptive father want to hurt his master?

"How about it, wolf?"

The kunai between Madam Butterfly's fingers still did not relax, and those eyes like dead objects were fixed on the wolf's body.

"After knowing the truth, are you still loyal to the Ashina Hirata clan and your master, Lord Kuro?"

It was rare that the wolf, who was always as sharp as a blade and never sloppy, was biting his teeth repeatedly at this time.

The masseter muscles swelled and fell on his face, just like the fluctuations in his heart.

After a while, the little ninja regained his composure.

He put the katana in his hand back into its scabbard, put his right hand on the ground into a fist, and half-knelt down to face Miko beside Lan En.

He lowered his head deeply and shouted softly: "Miko-sama."

The attitude is clear.

In Xiao's teachings, the first priority of a ninja is 'the master is supreme'.

But in private, his adoptive father once said to him, "Except parents."

But now, when the loyalty upheld by his foster father and the wolf himself conflicted, this ninja who had always just followed orders made his own choice in a turbulent mood.

He must protect Miko Kuro, he must protect this child. Even if you die!

"Wolf!" Yuzi trotted over and put a pair of small hands on the wolf's shoulders.

Compared to the Ming Dynasty warriors who were just "without suspicion", the wolf he got along with day and night gave him more firm belief.

"I see."

Lan En nodded.

"Then let's make some pre-arrangements now."

——

The tall giant ninja landed silently. It was as if his weight, terrifyingly thick hair, clothing, weapons... nothing on him would hinder his stealth.

Even if his footsteps stepped into the muddy water on the floor of the temple, Xiao could ensure that he would not make the slightest sound.

The two commanders of the Lone Shadows, Zhengjiu and Zhengchang, are now gone, but Xiao doesn't think there's anything wrong.

The opponent was originally subordinate to the inner government, and the only concern of this operation was to destroy the Hirata clan and weaken Ashina's national power.

Whether Miko Kuro was captured alive by them or died among the soldiers, it didn't matter to them.

But Xiao is different, he is not just a simple rebellious ninja.

Rather than saying that he acted this time to surrender to the petition issued by the inner government, it would be better to say that even this reason was just a cover.

What he really wants is Miko Kuro!

And now, he was almost there.

The butterfly was lying on the ground, blood flowing uncontrollably, while the wolf was gasping for breath after just finishing off the enemy.

The old man with luxuriant beard and eyebrows grinned silently, his expression happy but still silent.

Inch by inch, he pulled out the ninja sword on his back that was almost the same as Anaconda Juzo's weapon.

Hold it in front of you and stab the wolf straight into the back of the heart!

"Ding!" There was a crisp sound.

Xiao's eyes, which were narrowed in laughter under his long eyebrows, suddenly widened!

Because his adopted son was now using his back knife to directly block his hidden thrust!

Wrong plan!

The moment he realized this, the experienced ninja immediately pulled away and flew back.

But even though he was so decisive, his old friend lying on the ground gave him a hard slap.

Madam Butterfly, who was bleeding profusely from Xiao Xiao's eyes and had only a little breath left, suddenly raised her hand and shot a long and narrow kunai with a sharp edge towards Xiao Xiao's face!

"Ugh!"

The giant ninja tried his best to turn his face sideways, but when he reacted, one of his eyes and the socket was still directly scratched by a kunai!

No longer daring to delay his steps, Xiao immediately ran towards the only exit of the Buddhist hall.

The blood flowing from his face dyed his eyebrows, beard, and clothes red. Together with his snarling expression and body, he looked like a violent giant beast.

And just when the giant beast was about to rampage towards the exit, a figure walked out from behind the wooden pillar.

The palm of his hand with studded leather gloves pressed lightly on the wooden door of the entrance to the Buddhist hall.

Suddenly, a burst of purple magical light was like a water curtain, covering the only exit.

Magic Trap——[Aden's Seal].

Xiao Xiao, who had a violent expression just now, immediately turned around like a civet cat and landed in the center of the Buddhist hall without rushing into the unseen light curtain.

And the rage on his face disappeared as if it had never appeared before.

This experienced ninja is always thinking about disguise.

"Hmm, that's interesting."

The remaining eye glanced around calmly. Under his thick beard, his lips moved.

"Forget about wolves and butterflies. How can a samurai from the Ming Dynasty also use such despicable methods?"

Lan En withdrew the hand that arranged the [Arden's Seal] and patted it gently.

"I'm sorry, my moral values ​​are different from those of the samurai here. No matter how you say this, I actually don't feel offended."

Xiao Xiao looked at the wolves and butterflies slowly gathering around him, slowly lowered his body and tensed up his muscles.

"No offense? I guess you are a ninja! Sneak into the Hirata house! A ninja with other agendas!"

"Wolf! Butterfly! Don't be deceived by him! Listen to his breathing! Look at his steps! When I came in just now, I didn't even notice that he was standing behind the pillar near the exit! This breath-holding skill is amazing , you still think he is a samurai?!"

"Don't slander people, old man."

Lan En drew the Lake Lady's Sword from his back and weighed it in his hand with a smile to increase the feel.

"This is what I have worked hard to practice. Have you forgotten the Ninja Book of the Lone Shadows?"

"Forgot? How long are you going to fool me and other Ashina retainers!"

At this time, Xiao was like a sad and angry righteous man who saw his master's family being humiliated.

"If you can reach your level in less than ten days with a book of ninjutsu without guidance, why do we ninjas need to be taught by master and apprentice?"

What Xiao said was sincere and firm.

If a third party were to judge on the spot, they would probably not think that this old man with a sad and angry face was a villain.

However, the expressions of the three people surrounding him in a triangle were either indifferent or playful.

In Xiao Xiao's eyes, asking Lan En to ask for advice while the wolf was resting could not be considered guidance at all.

But Wolf could clearly feel Lan En's learning progress every time he saw him.

It can be said that Lan En's ninja breath-holding and silence were all practiced while watching the wolf.

In Xiao Xiao's eyes, the most unreasonable and suspicious places are actually the least suspicious.

Sophistry and diversion schemes fail.

The corners of the giant ninja's mouth twitched, spitting out a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and clenched the blade.

The rest can only be left to the knife to do the talking.
