Yamaguchi Hyakusai is worth a bounty of 800,000 ryo.
It sounds impressive at first, but everyone knows the currency in the Naruto world is severely devalued.
To give you an idea of how bad it is...
Remember Tonton, the pig that Shizune and Tsunade keep?
Well, conservatively, it's worth 1,000,000 ryo. In other words, this guy isn't even as valuable as a pet pig.
Crying and laughing.jpg
The two Genin surrounded at the scene had grave expressions. Surrounding them were nine tall men.
The others were just wandering samurai, nothing to worry about.
But… the two Chunin wearing Kirigakure headbands were the real threat to their lives.
The girl among the two surrounded Konohagakure Genin was Uzuki Yugao.
It was unlucky, to say the least. Their team had only taken a normal C-rank mission: to eliminate bandits near Konohagakure.
As a result, these bandits, somehow, had gotten wind of their mission and hired four Kirigakure ninja before the Konohagakure ninja arrived.
With the element of surprise, the unlucky Konohagakure Jonin was trapped by the enemy's Water Prison Technique, and the other Genin teammate also lost their life on the spot!
Only Uzuki Yugao and this boy escaped, trying to go to Konohagakure for help.
Who would have thought they would be cornered before they could even run far?
"Haha, scared, are you? It doesn't matter, as long as you..."
Yamaguchi Hyakusai's lascivious gaze continuously swept over Uzuki Yugao's snow-white body. However, before he could finish speaking, a Kirigakure ninja interrupted him.
"Stop wasting time, kill them!"
Indeed, the Kirigakure ninjas were more reliable. Most of them didn't have any ulterior motives. Since their opponents were also ninjas, they couldn't afford to be careless!
But just as the two Kirigakure Chunin were about to make a move, Naraku sighed.
It was truly a pity for such a beautiful girl to die here. Naraku casually put on a demon mask, then quickly formed hand seals:
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
A huge fireball suddenly erupted, and the two men dressed as samurai were caught off guard and instantly burned to ashes.
The two Kirigakure Chunin were much more resourceful. Seeing the sneak attack and unable to counter with hand seals, they could only jump away to dodge. Who knew...
"Fire Style: Great Dragon Flame Technique!"
"What?!"
The two Kirigakure ninja were dumbfounded. What the hell was going on? They had just jumped, and the Great Fireball hadn't even landed yet.
He's already using another ninjutsu? Doesn't he need to use hand signs?
Both of them realized the other's strength, but even if he was amazing, he could only attack one of them. After all, they were jumping in opposite directions.
When his ninjutsu falters, that will be the other's chance to escape. Once he informs their boss, the other guy is dead!
However, almost simultaneously, two three-meter-thick Great Dragon Flames roared out!
The Kirigakure Chunin: ...
To die without even seeing the other person's shadow... what a frustrating way to go.
BOOM!
After a massive explosion, several large trees around them fell simultaneously. The two Kirigakure Chunin lay on the ground, their bodies mutilated. It was a truly gruesome sight.
From the moment the Great Fireball was unleashed to the deaths of the two Kirigakure ninja, only two or three seconds had passed.
The others at the scene still hadn't figured out what was happening when the battle was already over. This was unbelievably terrifying.
Yamaguchi Hyakusai stared at the thick smoke and the shattered corpses of the Kirigakure ninja, his mouth agape.
What happened? What just happened?
Just a few seconds ago, they had the upper hand, and he was even thinking about how to get that little girl under him.
This was bad. His support had already been defeated, and he clearly wasn't a match for them.
What should he do?
"No matter who you are, as long as you let me go, I'll give you all my money. Please, let me go."
Yamaguchi Hyakusai and his companions all dropped to their knees, knocking their heads on the ground.
Come on, they'd never even seen a ninja of this level before. If they didn't kneel now, they wouldn't get a chance later.
And Uzuki Yugao and the other person were even more dumbfounded. To be honest, in that desperate situation just now, Yugao had already prepared to use Exploding Tags to perish with the enemy.
Because, death was better than falling into their hands!
But who would have thought that in less than two seconds, the situation had completely reversed. The two strongest Kirigakure ninjas on the other side were dead, and everyone else had knelt down.
This situation is already obvious. The one who just launched the surprise attack must be a Jonin, and those two Fire Styles just now were very characteristic of the Uchiha.
It's very likely that it's a ninja from Konohagakure on our side.
"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Faced with Yamaguchi Hyakusai's pleas for mercy, Naraku didn't hesitate and spewed out another mouthful of fire.
At first, the flames seemed to be just a line of fire, but when that line of fire landed, it turned into a terrifying wave of fire that spread wildly in all directions!
First, Yamaguchi Hyakusai and the others closest to where the flames landed were swallowed by the fire.
Cries of agony erupted, and the flames didn't stop at all. Then, they rushed towards Yugao and the others!
The two of them quickly turned and ran, but the speed at which the flames expanded was simply too fast, and they were about to be engulfed in an instant.
Just as things were about to go south, a black shadow appeared behind the two of them. Using the Body Flicker Technique, Naraku grabbed them by their collars, one in each hand, and vanished instantly.
Uzuki Yugao only felt a blur before her eyes. The two of them had already appeared outside the flames. She couldn't help but look back.
The flames crackled and roared, and the forest behind them, covering a thousand square meters, had already turned into a sea of fire.
The power of this Fire Style was terrifying! Yugao and the other person's jaws dropped in shock.
However, Naraku, who had seen Madara set a forest ablaze, felt that his copy was simply pathetic.
Looks like I still need to practice more.
She carried the two of them away from the sea of fire. Standing on a tree, Naraku casually tossed the little boy in her left hand down from the tree.
Then, she held Yugao in both arms, carefully placing her on the tree trunk, and asked gently:
"Are you alright? Miss..."
The boy, who had just face-planted, was utterly bewildered. The difference in treatment was a bit much, wasn't it?
Uzuki Yugao, hearing Naraku's clear voice, was astonished.
A girl?
She sized up Naraku before her, whose height was about the same as hers, and who was wearing a large cloak and a ghost mask.
It looked like she was about the same age as her. How could that be?
It turned out that Naraku had transformed into Chie's appearance before saving her, which is why Yugao had been mistaken.
If she knew the girl who saved her was only seven years old, she didn't know how shocked she would be.
