Novel Bin Chapter 37 - 37: The Hidden Mist Village
"Did you sleep well last night?"
In the next day, Danzo got up early and exercised outside.
Seeing Murasaki and Sakumo leave their tent, he looked back and asked. His indifferent face suddenly bloomed and smile can be seen at it which is rare.
Not bad…
"Thank you for asking sensei. We slept well."
Sakumo replied.
"But for what I saw, Akabane was the one who slept well from the three of us."
Murasaki sighed lightly, a little bit envious about Akabane\'s nerve.
It is hard for him to imagine that in such a bloody tent, someone not only sleeps peacefully but also sleeps on the bed like he owns it.
"Hahaha."
Danzo couldn\'t help laughing hearing Murasaki.
For a slacker like Akabane, it\'s impressive for him after their long travel, he must be worn out both physically and mentally with how deep his sleep is.
"Call him up. We\'re going to start patrolling the border."
Danzo said lightly.
"Huh? Do we have to patrol?"
Akabane\'s shocked voice came from the room.
"It\'s not a good thing to be too smart, because they will think some simple things are too complicated."
Danzo answered and after a pause he continued "Come out quickly; otherwise, I wouldn\'t accompany you."
Akabane\'s eyes lit up hearing it and said.
"Right away, sensei!"
"Murasaki, Sakumo, you two go together, Akabane, you\'ll be with me."
Danzo said and went down the hill.
But Akabane\'s face who was very excited a moment ago turned pale when he heard Danzo\'s last sentencec. He didn\'t expect this.
"Wait, can we just stick together…?"
Before Akabane could say his opinion, Sakumo and Murasaki had gone all the way, while Danzo was heading the other way.
"I want to be with Murasaki!" Akabane complained.
But alas, Danzo wouldn\'t listen to his whining.
"Akabane, there are some merchants ahead, go and protect them."
From the hill along the border to the north, when they reached a commercial road, Danzo stopped and pointed in the direction of Uzumaki Village.
"Got it."
Akabane walked along the road and reached the border.
In the distance, several carts and a group of people yelled and fled towards the land of fire.
Looking at the emblem that they held, this group of caravans was from Uzumaki Village, but…
"This is grandma Mito\'s emblem!?"
Akabane\'s eyes flickered, and he noticed the subtle mark on the lower right corner of the caravan flag.
It was the Uzumaki Clan emblem!
"Come on. We need to reach the border!"
"Don\'t worry about goods. Our lives are more important."
The leader of the caravan didn\'t even care about their belongings and rushed to the border in a hurry.
Suddenly there were silhouettes in the rear moving swiftly between the woods, almost like a ghost.
Ninja!
Akabane became more cautious.
Akabane hasn\'t experienced fighting to the death with the real ninja, and he also wasn\'t sure about their fighting prowess.
"Are they targeting Danzo?"
"I don\'t have much time to think, what\'s their objective?"
In the real battle, he has no time to hesitate.
With only a slight window of chance, he stained his pen with ink and drew a background.
The trail and the woods were completed in a few breaths, and then a little black ink fell on it, the lines were finely trimmed, and he finished drawing a human.
"We make it! We finally created it!"
The moment they crossed the borderline, many people were already exhausted and collapsed directly.
However…
In the next second, black shadows flew from the forest in the distance, the group of ninja threw their shuriken to the caravans, even if they\'ve fled to the border.
"what!"
"Run…get some cover!"
Screams spread throughout the border.
The leader looked back and was shocked to find that the ninja hadn\'t stopped chasing them.
At this time, the drawing in Akabane\'s hands was completed.
"Five sense control!"
In his drawing, the leaves turn into sharp blades, slicing over the throats of several ninjas.
"Arghhh.."
There is no time to scream. The sharp pain given by the blades overwhelmed them. Some of them were bleeding intensely from their throats, and in a few seconds, they fell to the ground, lifeless.
"what just happened?"
"It\'s the help from Konoha\'s ninja!"
After swiftly killing several ninjas single-handedly. The leader of the caravans felt relieved. Konoha must have sent their aids.
Akabane thought for a moment, then cast a transformation jutsu to disguise him as Konoha\'s Anbu before jumping off the tree.
"Are you a caravan of an Uzumaki Village?"
These people recognized the Anbu dress.
"We are the caravan responsible for the trade between Uzumaki Village and Konohagakure. This is our pass token."
They showed their token.
Akabane took it over and closely examined it.
This token is not much different from what Mito gave him. The only difference is that the other side\'s token is engraved with the marks of Uzumaki and Senju, while Akabane\'s hand is a personal mark belonging to Uzumaki Mito.
Suddenly…
At this moment, from the direction of Uzumaki Village, several kunai flew from a distance, with exploding talisman hanging from their end.
In the forest, Akabane saw a pair of lurking eyes.
With only one glance, a thought flashed in Akabane\'s mind-Jonin!
He immediately escaped with a substitute, Jutsu, and then he cast a hand seal.
"Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Jutsu!"
Since Akabane had surpassed the chakra of a chuunin, his genjutsu was super effective against them.
"Wind Release: Great Breach!"
Simple C-rank ninjutsu, but in the hands of Danzo, it is terrifying.
A violent wind swept through all kunai, blowing them back, and at the same time, Danzo\'s figure disappeared and instantly moved to the other side.
"A Genin, how is it possible…"!
"This is bad!"
This Jonin dismissed Akabane\'s Genjutsu instantly, but at the same time he dismissed the Genjutsu, he felt an aura approaching him quickly.
Then…
Clash!
With one accurate shot, blood splattered around the forest.
The next second, Danzo appeared. There was no blood on his body, but his blade had been dyed red.
"Sensei!"
Akabane breathed a sigh of relief.
"They even bothered to send a Jounin. This situation has got much worse."
Danzo\'s eyes were full of blood lust.
The daimyo held a grudge against Uzumaki Village. But there were people with Senju\'s emblem. This was not just a problem between the two villages, but also involves Konoha\'s reputation.
Some of the merchants on the ground fainted, but fortunately, no one died from the clash.
"Sensei… who are they?"
Akabane swiped his temples, using his Jutsu on a Jonin has consumed his chakra more than he predicted.
"The Hidden Mist Village!"
Danzo was silent for a moment, shaking his hand to shake off the blood on the blade, and then sheath it cleanly.
Akabane was startled slightly and immediately understood.
Uzumaki Village was surrounded by the sea on three sides, and The Hidden Mist Village was just across their sea.
"Sure enough, if they managed to kill all the witnesses, there will be no evidence left."
Akabane smiled bitterly.
These people from the Hidden Mist Village understood how to leave no trace of murder. They are the most proficient at it.
"Fall back first, Akabane, and rejoin with your other teammates."
Danzo\'s face becomes serious.
He just killed 1 Jounin and several Chuunin. It is most unlikely they would launch another attack on this site.
His concern was about Murasaki and Sakumo on the other side. Since a jounin has appeared, the tide has turned drastically.
He was really worried.
Those are two of Konoha\'s new generation successors. They must be kept alive!
