Kaoru's body was bombarded by ninjutsu and scorched by flames, but he still stood in place, motionless, looking at these ninjas who were charging towards him.
It was really hard to imagine what these ninjas had experienced to become so rational, their rational minds only focused on the mission, even losing their independent personalities, not giving up on killing the target even in death.
Just as Kaoru was thinking, the scorched parts on his body, and the parts that were pitted by the ninjutsu, began to recover again.
But the other ninjas were not so lucky.....
All the ninjas were annihilated by the attack of Infernal Tempest. Within the range covered by Infernal Tempest, there were no living things left. On the surrounding ground, there were only corpses, one after another, scorched and disfigured.....
Everything was like a bathhouse!
Originally, the range of Infernal Tempest used by the illusion clone was not very large, but Kaoru had deliberately waited until these ninjas were closest before taking action, so he also killed all these ninjas!
Kaoru raised his head and looked at his health bar. At this time, the health bar had changed from the original one-half to one-quarter. This was all thanks to the ninjas' ninjutsu and their desperate efforts to attract the flames to themselves.
Stretching out his leg to kick away the corpse of a ninja who was still dragging his feet after death, Kaoru patted the dust off his body and stepped out from these corpses!
"Those three guys, thanks to these subordinates of yours, your lives are temporarily saved......" Kaoru said slowly. Just as he was fighting with these fifty ninjas, the three ninjas in charge of commanding had already run far away. Kaoru was now unable to catch up with him. The card ultimate move, Destiny, was also in cooldown and could not be used.
But for now, it was better to find Mitokado Homura first. Regarding the mastermind behind this trap, Kaoru had vaguely guessed who it was.
Thinking of this, Kaoru recalled the Hawk Spirit that was following those three ninjas to explore other places. Soon, Kaoru also found Mitokado Homura's whereabouts through the Hawk Spirit.
At this time, Mitokado Homura was sitting under a tree. There were also three ninjas wearing Hannya Group masks around him. The three people formed a triangle, protecting Mitokado Homura in the middle, and Mitokado Homura was fine, looking like he hadn't suffered any injuries.
"Lord Mitokado, you're really making me worry......" A sneer floated on Kaoru's lips.
But Kaoru did not intend to see him with this illusion clone's body. This illusion clone had a time limit, and there would be a big explosion when the time came. If he used this clone to see Mitokado Homura, and an explosion occurred when he approached him, it would be tragic.
"I didn't expect that these ninjas didn't even break my illusion clone. How sad, they were still thinking about killing me when they were about to die......" Kaoru sighed, and then with a thought, he manipulated this illusion clone to disappear in advance.
"Rumble Rumble!!"
The illusion clone exploded in an instant, illuminating this swamp, and a thick smoke was emitted. And Kaoru's mind also detached from this smoke, and returned to his main body again.
After a moment, Kaoru opened his eyes. First, a burst of drowsiness attacked his forehead. His eyes soured, and he directly changed from sitting cross-legged to lying down on the ground.
"After a while, it'll be fine after a while....." Feeling the pain coming from his eyes, Kaoru silently endured it. Every time he used an S-rank hero ninjutsu, it would definitely cause side effects. Kaoru was already used to this. It would be fine after resting for a while, although he knew that if he continued like this, he would go blind sooner or later.......
"S-rank hero ninjutsu must be used with caution ah." After a moment, Kaoru stood up again and walked out from the hiding grass.
He rubbed his dazed eyes and began to walk towards Mitokado Homura's location.
Stepping into the swamp again, this time it was different from the last time. This time, there was no one to hinder him. As far as the eye could see, there was only scorched earth and that huge steel wire mesh, and the charred corpses lying in disorder.....
Without walking for long, the figures of Mitokado Homura and the three ninjas around him appeared in Kaoru's vision.
"Someone's coming?!" These three ninjas could be said to have a very insensitive reaction. They only reacted after Kaoru walked closer.
These three ninjas were all wearing Hannya Group masks, but seeing Kaoru alone, there was a trace of shock and worry in their eyes.
It wasn't just these three ninjas, even Mitokado Homura's face was somewhat surprised, seeming to be strange at Kaoru's arrival.
"What's going on? According to the original plan, it should be Lord Sugisawa who came to meet us. This guy should have already died in the swamp forest ah....." Each of these three ninjas was somewhat stunned. Seeing Kaoru, they didn't even know what to do.
Originally, their mission was to protect Lord Mitokado here, waiting for their Captain Sugisawa to kill Kaoru and then come to meet them, but now the hunting target had appeared in front of them......
"Uchiha Kaoru, why are you so late? Hurry up and rescue me!" Mitokado Homura said after seeing Kaoru, and being stunned for a long time.
"Y-you, don't come over, otherwise, we'll kill this old man!" These three ninjas also reacted after Mitokado Homura. They retreated to Mitokado Homura's side. One of them took out a kunai and put it on Mitokado Homura's neck, threatening Kaoru.
"O-okay, I won't go over....." Kaoru said with a smile. He crossed his arms, but really didn't go over.
"Then what?" Kaoru continued to ask.
"Then......" The three ninjas were stunned. They didn't know what then was either. This wasn't in the plan at all. Lord Sugisawa hadn't appeared yet. What the hell was going on....
These poor three ninjas didn't know that their Lord Sugisawa had already abandoned them.
"Y-you, commit suicide on the spot, w-we'll release this old man!" One of the ninjas said again. He stammered and said so.
"Commit suicide?! You seem to be trying to make me laugh ah!" Kaoru raised his eyebrows and said. This was the funniest thing he had ever heard. Only a fool would do that, right?
"If you don't commit suicide, we'll immediately kill this old man!" Another ninja also said quickly, as if he had really found a condition that could threaten Kaoru.
"Very good, then you kill him......" A trace of playfulness was in Kaoru's eyes. He said with a smile.
These three ninjas were stunned again. What were they kidding? They were next to Mitokado Homura and had to ensure this lord's safety. This was the order they had received. If they really killed Mitokado Homura, how would they survive in Konohagakure?
Besides, once Mitokado Homura died, this kid would definitely attack them. According to Lord Sugisawa, this kid was an Anbu captain. They wouldn't doubt the Anbu captain's strength at all......
"Uchiha Kaoru, what kind of words are you saying? Do you want to give up on this old man's life and not care?" Mitokado Homura heard Kaoru say this, and immediately blew his beard and glared at him.
"Then what do you want me to do? Commit suicide in front of you? If that's the case, then no one will come to save you, Lord Mitokado." Kaoru shrugged his shoulders, his eyes seemingly very helpless.
"This......." Mitokado Homura didn't speak.
"Alright, Lord Mitokado, I'll save you, and very easily....." Kaoru saw Mitokado Homura was silent, and didn't want to continue teasing him. He nodded and said, and then with a movement of his body, he actually ran directly towards Mitokado Homura!
The reason why Kaoru didn't choose to sneak attack or use other methods was because he knew that these three ninjas would not dare to attack Mitokado Homura, because they were Leaf Village ninjas, how would they dare to attack a Leaf Village high-ranking member?
Sure enough, these three ninjas saw Kaoru running directly over, and immediately stopped continuing to surround Mitokado Homura to use him as a hostage. Instead, they began to form hand seals. Since Kaoru had attacked, they would naturally fight Kaoru to the death.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Kaoru's mouth curled into a malicious smile. He stretched out his left hand and formed hand seals with one hand, while his other hand threw out two shuriken!
Kaoru opened his mouth, and a huge fireball suddenly spewed out! And the other two shuriken were also thrown out from different directions.
