Konoha's task master

Early the next morning, when Yakumo opened the courtyard door, what he saw was not breakfast, but Chen Yu in Tsing Yi.

"Sir, the daimyo ordered you and Qingshan to leave Daming Mansion immediately after you wake up..." Chenyu bowed slightly and said apologetically.

Yakumo was stunned, he didn't expect Shinichi to be so stingy, but he immediately went back to the house to pack his luggage. Half an hour later, the two of them stood in front of the Daming Mansion, looking extremely lonely.

"What happened yesterday?" Aoyama Reiko asked. She was actually very confused. She stayed up late yesterday to conduct experiments and was catching up on sleep when she was woken up by Yakumo...

"Our daimyo wanted me to help him kill the envoy from the Land of Thunder, but I refused... so we were kicked out." Yakumo explained helplessly.

"He actually wants to kill the envoy from the Kingdom of Thunder. Isn't he afraid of starting a war again?" Reiko Aoyama asked in disbelief.

"Who knows?"

It was already very hard for him to avoid being cheated. As for other aspects, he really couldn't understand Shinichi's thoughts.

The two simply made up for breakfast in the Fire Capital and set out on the road back to Konoha.

Green mountains and green waters, gentle breeze.

Aoyama Reiko suddenly grabbed Yakumo, and saw three strong men chasing behind them at extremely fast speeds.

Three seconds later, the two were surrounded.

"Aoyama Ninja, can you follow us to the Cloud Ninja Village?" He spoke angrily, his voice shaking the air and making him extremely deep.

The leading strong man was at least two meters tall and stood in front of Yakumo like a wall, blocking nearly 80% of the sunlight.

"Are you the Kumo ninjas responsible for protecting the mission?"

The expressions of the three strong men changed slightly, and their reactions proved Yakumo's guess to a certain extent.

He was still being plotted by Shinichi... It felt really unpleasant to be plotted against.

He drove away Yakumo and Aoyama Reiko today not because he was stingy, but because he planned to use Aoyama Reiko as bait to attract the mission's security personnel to leave, so that he could send people to easily deal with the Thunder Kingdom mission.

"How do you know?" the leading strong man asked, looking at Yakumo with an increasingly evil look.

"Because someone wants to attack the mission..." Yakumo replied. He betrayed Shinichi without hesitation, but it was of no use. In his mind, the three people in front of him were already equated with dead people.

The leader Yun Nin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, looked at Reiko Aoyama and continued.

"I hope Aoyama Ninja will follow us to Kumo Ninja Village."

Seeing this situation, Yakumo suddenly understood everything. This mission entered the Country of Fire to discuss the price of imported food. In fact, their goal was to kidnap Reiko Aoyama.

"Why…"

It's hard to say who plotted against whom... At first, the Third Raikage plotted against the Third Hokage and plotted against Reiko Aoyama, a jounin-level medical ninja. Then Shinichi plotted against Yakumo, forcing him to have a head-on conflict with three jounin...

…In short, he is a chess piece.

"Aoyama Ninja, if you resist, we will kill your disciple directly. Otherwise, we will let him leave at the border of Fire Country."

"What should I do...?" Reiko Aoyama asked.

"Sister, run away, I am the queen..." Yakumo replied.

The conversation between the two people made the three Kumo ninjas a little confused. Shouldn't the normal order be for Aoyama Reiko to take charge of the rear and let the apprentice run first?

"I hope Aoyama Shinobu can think carefully..."

The three Kumo ninja mobilized chakra at the same time, but they focused more on Reiko Aoyama. As for the first-year kid who was not even a genin in terms of intelligence... they were no longer in the scope of their consideration.

"Why don't you three adults let us leave? If you go back now, you may avoid the fate of the mission being massacred." Yakumo took two steps back and drew out his purple fire as if to defend himself.

"The mission is here, I'm sorry..."

The three Kumo ninjas pounced on Reiko Aoyama at the same moment. At the same time, the shackles in Yakumo's body were suddenly lifted, and the dazzling electric light was draped around her body like armor.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

The three of them immediately retreated. At that moment they felt death, and the inconspicuous child suddenly burst out with pressure that frightened the three of them.

At that moment, the air seemed to vibrate violently with him as the center, the surrounding earth cracked inch by inch, and the heartbeat could be heard clearly. The heartbeat seemed to belong to some kind of super-large creature, low and distant, like the drumbeat of war.

The surrounding air was stirred by the white current, spinning rapidly like a whirlpool, which was a substantial amount of chakra.

"Sister Qingshan, you go first and I'll be right back..."

Yakumo smiled and said to Reiko Aoyama, with a relaxed tone, as if his sister was taking his brother for an outing, and the brother knelt down to tie his shoes and let his sister go first.

"No, this time my sister will fight alongside you..."

With a bang, a baseball bat with a silver-white metallic luster appeared in Reiko Aoyama's hand, dancing like a tiger.

"Actually...your sister and I are not weak."

Aoyama Reiko smiled and put away her rimless glasses, and tied her loose hair into a ponytail. With a few simple movements, she lost her usual quiet and cold feeling, and instead looked crisp and sharp, just like the mythical Valkyrie. She waved her hands casually.

The bat made a whistling sound through the air.

"Go!" the leading ninja shouted. Although the mission had changed, there was no reason to retreat.

Most of the Kumo ninja's combat system is based on ninjutsu. The three Kumo ninjas were instantly enveloped in lightning, put on metal gloves and rushed towards Yakumo.

Their speed is as fast as a sharp sword unsheathed, but unfortunately speed is exactly what Yakumo is best at.

The force exerted under his feet caused the earth to crack.

Yakumo faced the three of them with a sword, while Reiko Aoyama followed suit with a baseball bat.

The collision between the sharp blade and the glove was like the collision between a comet and Mars, and the huge sound spread to all directions.

Yakumo quickly completed the seal with both hands, and the two shadow clones stood back and threw out several blue water balls.

At the same time, Yakumo spoke.

"Mist burial."

The thick fog spread, and the Kumo ninja's movement speed was instantly suppressed. The impact of the fist gloves and the bat made a roar of metal collision. To Yakumo's surprise... the person who was knocked away turned out to be the leading Kumo ninja.

"Strange power technique..."

As Tsunade's best friend, Aoyama Reiko learned Tsunade's strange power technique and gained the terrifying power to destroy mountains and seas.

The two were fighting together for the first time, but they had a perfect understanding. Yakumo was responsible for the main attack, and Aoyama Reiko's side support easily suppressed the three Kumo ninjas.

The blade of the purple fire was flowing with dazzling white light, disturbing the surrounding dense fog, and the invisible wind attribute chakra was wrapped around it. For some reason, after the completion of the Hatake Secret Code, he automatically mastered the changes in the nature of the wind attribute chakra.

.

"Thunder Release: Heavy Flood Storm!"

The three Cloud Ninjas injected chakra into their right hands, and then threw the purple arc ball fiercely into the thick fog. With three roars, the surrounding thick fog seemed to be shattered by sharp blades.
