Chapter 35 Flowers withered and wings broken
bang。
Asano Kaoru’s feet stepped into a puddle, and the rain splashed in the puddle, making her trousers wet.
What a bad luck, the woman frowned slightly.
Get the bottle and let's go... She thought like this, opened the door and walked into the house.
The moment she entered, Asano Kaoru stiffened up, and the huge fear and panic was like a devil, gripping her heart.
In the room, a tall man stood quietly in the middle. His muscles were tangled under his black robe, and his bird-faced mask was terrifying.
—It’s an owl!
"You are too careless..." Inside the room, Xiao slowly spoke:
“If you were a normal person, you would have noticed the signs of bending the weeds in the yard. That way, you would have more time to escape, and maybe you could live a little longer.”
"Master Xiao..." Kaoru Asano swallowed hard and did not kneel down on one knee as usual.
She didn't dare to kneel down. That posture would only affect her speed and reduce the probability of successful escape or resistance. But...how did Xiao Xiao see through herself?
The owl in the bird-face mask shook his head and stared at the female subordinate in front of him:
"Sure enough, if you fly a kite for too long, the string will eventually break. A few hours ago, when you used words to hint that I could leave the Country of Rain with confidence, you were too anxious. Why did you let me leave Yugakure? I guess you want to do something without telling me."
"Just because of... this one point?" Asano Kaoru said in a hesitant voice.
"Anyone with any doubts will be killed without mercy." The tall man's body began to release a terrifying "power", like the sharp claws of a raptor before hunting:
“Anything that is questionable means that there are more doubts in fact. You should know how the code name [枭] came from.”
genzhi... Xiao is a man in ANBU who is famous for his killing and cruelty.
It is better to kill the wrong person than let him go. In the eyes of Xiao, there is no "punishment", only "death penalty"!
Asano Kaoru gritted her teeth. She knew that the man in front of her had made up her mind, and she was willing to give in. She said coldly:
"Xiao, have you ever thought that you will be killed by Danzo-sama one day? You have killed too many people. Even within the root, there are many people who want you to die."
“You are wrong, An, I will not die.” Xiao paused and then said:
"For Danzo-sama, I am a tool. As long as things can be done, it doesn't matter how many people I kill. Consumables of your level can be cultivated over and over again."
"Tools... Huh, Xiao, have you forgotten? The purpose of the first Hokage establishing the village was to prevent ninjas from becoming tools of killing."
"The first Hokage was a great ninja. Unfortunately, the nature of the world has not changed because of him." The tall man pointed at himself and then at Xun:
“I am Danzo-sama’s tool, you are my tool, and Hinata Yuuto is the tool of the Third Hokage and the Hyuga clan.”
“You tricked me into leaving Amegakure, and Hyuga Yuuto hid here for a month... They were all [tools] to resist their masters, which is a heinous crime.”
“A tool is a tool. It must perform its duties and follow its own established trajectory. If it deviates slightly, it is no longer a qualified tool.”
"Fortunately, I am here. I will kill you as a tool, and then report everything Hinata Yuuto has done during this period to Danzo-sama... He is suspected of accumulating a lot of money, and he is suspected of being deeply involved with the Amegakure Akatsuki organization. It is suspected that a powerful new ninjutsu has been developed..."
“This month, the information you provided is very detailed, An.”
boom!
Before Xiao Xiao could finish his last sentence, Asano Kaoru's back slammed open the window. The moment his feet touched the soil in the courtyard, chakra exploded, leaving a shallow pit on the ground.
Escape! Escape! He had relaxed just now... The female ninja roared crazily in her heart, seized this opportunity, and escaped more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.
But the next moment, Asano Kaoru's eyes blurred, his throat felt hot, and the strength of his limbs poured out like a collapsed river bank, unstoppable.
The figure of Xiao appeared in front of her. This member of the Root who took pleasure in killing people had blood on his hands and half of his throat.
"I said, you were too careless and impatient tonight...you couldn't even see through the flaws in my deliberate sale. Sure enough, as a tool, you only have this quality."
With a loud bang, Asano Kaoru hit the wall with huge inertia, breaking his bones and tendons.
"Tools...cleaned successfully." Xiao moved his hands, squatted on the ground, and looked at Asano Kaoru who was gradually dying. Huh?
Xiao let out a light sigh, opened Asano Kaoru's hand, and took out the contents.
“Shells... really, I’m still clinging to them until I die...”
…
Takeda Segen can no longer remember how many times he checked the time.
At this moment, it is past midnight.
At the very beginning, Takeda Segen thought, "She is a woman, she will be late no matter what time." She could still wait patiently.
However, as time passed by, his heart gradually became anxious.
Kaoru...has returned to Konoha by himself? Takeda Segen thought this way and was lost in thought under the red road sign.
Now, a new fear completely enveloped him, and he thought of a more terrifying possibility—Xun had encountered an accident and would not be able to come back.
Soon, Takeda Segen could no longer control himself. He left the street sign and rushed to the street, searching for the woman with all his strength.
He knew where the house outside Kaoru Asano's base was. Although he didn't have much hope, Takeda Segen chose to go there first to look for some clues.
After midnight, there is certainly no one in Yuyin Village. Although there is no such thing as a "curfew", the cold and dull Rain Country is obviously not a good place to spend the night. There are almost no pedestrians on the street.
However, no matter how deserted it is, there are still scattered shops open, most of which are wine shops. The Rain Country has rainy season all year round, and warm wine can ward off the cold. This kind of small shop is very popular and does not worry about business.
Takeda Segen was running on the cold streets. He was very experienced and could make general judgments about people just by looking at them.
This search did not last long. He quickly stopped and stood on the side of the road.
In a certain wine shop, a tall man had his back turned to him, and his face could not be seen.
The man was wearing a black robe and sitting lazily. In his hand, he was playing with a white shell.
The shells were still stained with blood.
In an instant, Takeda Shigen understood what happened, and his anger was like an erupting volcano, destroying his reason.
"Is it a trap?", "Go back and ask for support from the leader", "Think long term and find a place to ambush him"... these thoughts were all absent.
When Takeda Shigen came to his senses, his body had already rushed forward with the two "flying wings" uncontrollably.
Boom—
The sharp chakra weapon struck the table.
“A ninja who has lost his mind can actually fall for such a simple trick... haha.”
In the rainy night, the root owl laughed wildly.
