Chapter 43 The Kingdom of Tang
The Land of Hot Springs is indeed a great place for vacation in peacetime.
As its name suggests, this is a country with hot springs scattered all over the place.
The Kingdom of Hot Springs, which has no rare materials except hot springs, was lucky enough to escape the fate of falling into war.
Therefore, the whole country is in a harmonious and stable atmosphere.
But no matter which country it is.
There will always be some unstable elements ready to make trouble.
After entering the Land of Hot Springs, Danzo and his companions did not have to spend much effort to find out the largest bandit gathering place nearby through the black market.
Behind the earth slope, Hinata Yong opened his Byakugan and easily found out the number of enemies.
"There are 12 enemies at 5 o'clock with no chakra reaction. There are 3 enemies at 2 o'clock with chakra reaction."
Reporting detailed intelligence on the enemy in front of you.
The seven people in front of you are the enemies responsible for the frontal defense of the village.
It's pitifully weak.
There were only two ninjas.
"I'll leave it to you. I won't intervene until the critical moment."
Leave the scene entirely to Minato and the others.
Danzo was just about to observe the current strength of these guys.
Seeing that Danzo had no intention of intervening, Minato naturally became the commander-in-chief among the group.
After some discussion, they finally decided that Shinichi and Yong would create the noise from the front.
Minato took the opportunity to sneak in and take down the enemy leader.
......
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
As Shinichi suddenly jumped out from the side, a huge fireball spewed out of his mouth and flew directly towards the bandits.
Except for two bandits who had chakra reaction, they reacted quickly and dodged in time.
Others were directly swallowed by the fireball.
"Enemy attack!"
One of them let out a shrill cry, but before he could make any move, Hinata Yong, who had been prepared, rushed straight towards him.
"Bai, white eyes!"
The bandit in front of him was obviously worldly-wise and recognized Hinata Yong's eyes at a glance.
He was then severely hit by a set of soft boxing techniques.
......
"what happened?"
In the room in the center of the village, Ping Zang, with a face full of flesh and covered in fur, heard the noise outside and stood up suddenly.
As a jonin who defected from the Hidden Rain Village, he quickly realized that the noise outside was not something that an ordinary person could make.
Ninja?
Where did it come from?
The only ones hanging around here lately are the ninjas from the Land of Hot Springs.
In Ping Zang's opinion, these guys who were used to a comfortable life would definitely not dare to attack him.
But if it wasn't Tang Ren, then who else could it be?
"You guys, hurry to the door and check the situation!"
Send out all your men.
After Ping Zang pulled out the chair, he took out the long sword from the knife rack.
He looked at the cold and sharp blade and swung it a few times.
However, all his movements were clearly seen by Minato who was hiding in the dark.
Compare it with the wanted poster in your mind.
After confirming that the man in front of him was the traitor ninja with a bounty of 1000 million, and also the owner of this mountain stronghold, Heizo.
Minato took action.
He threw the kunai in his hand with the Flying Thunder God Technique engraved on it.
I heard the sound of breaking air behind me.
Ping Zang didn't even turn his head and slightly turned sideways.
He took out a few shurikens from his arms and threw them out based on his feeling.
but......
A figure suddenly appeared in the kunai place where he had avoided.
"This is?!"
Unable to comprehend why an enemy appeared in this location, Heizo could only watch as Minato's kunai stabbed into his abdomen.
As the kunai pierced into his body, the Heizo in front of him suddenly turned into a pool of liquid.
"Water Escape·Water Bomb!"
Heizo's voice sounded from behind Minato.
What followed were several fierce water bombs.
"It's so fast to form seals."
Admiring the opponent's speed, Minato hurriedly threw another Flying Thunder God Kunai.
Immediately afterwards, his figure appeared again next to the kunai.
"I see. So you rely on kunai to teleport?"
Contrary to his rugged appearance, Heizo quickly figured out how Flying Thunder God was activated.
"Water Body Technique!"
There are two kunai now, and I just need to predict the opponent's moving position in advance.
You can directly eliminate the opponent.
but......
Looking at the yellow figure in front of him, Heizo didn't expect that the person who launched the attack was so young.
Chou-Shen-Mao-Zi-Hai-You-Chou-
Heizo began to make seals.
And the water clones were also ready to perform the water prison technique.
Although the hand seals were formed very quickly, the Water Dragon Bullet Technique used by Heizo was obviously a complex version of the hand seals.
Therefore, Minato chose to fight hard.
Zi-Si-Wu-Xu-
In Heizo's shocked eyes.
Minato quickly completed his hand seals.
Take a deep breath and exhale forcefully.
"Wind Escape·Vacuum Continuous Waves!"
The six sharp wind blades left no room for the opponent to dodge.
Heizo, who had not yet completed the seal for the Water Dragon Bullet, had no time to perform the substitution technique.
The whole person and his water clone were knocked away.
Directly broke through the wall.
With screams, Heizo lost his ability to fight.
"As expected of Danzo-sama's technique, it is indeed extremely powerful."
Looking at Heizo who was wailing with huge wounds on his body.
Minato stuck out his tongue. This was the first time he performed this ninjutsu in actual combat.
......
Since Shinichi has not yet opened his eyes, Danzo has to take action himself.
Grabbing the face of the man in front of him named Heizo, Danzo performed an illusion.
The result was disappointing; the person in front of him was not the culprit in the recent missing child case.
He simply treated the other party and tied him up along with his surviving men.
Danzo first praised them.
Especially Minato, who was able to face off against the ninja alone at such a young age.
It was highly praised.
Minato smiled shyly at Danzo's compliment.
Then, Danzo pulled out a map from his pocket and drew a big "X" at their location.
"In this case, we can only try our luck in this place."
Danzo pointed to a certain place on the map, where a group of bandits gathered.
It's just a little smaller than here.
The few of them made a simple repair and then rushed to their destination without stopping.
......
Soon, half a month passed.
During this half month, Shuimen and his men wiped out a total of 16 bandit strongholds.
He earned a full 3000 million from the bounty alone.
But still no trace of the children was found.
When they arrived at the last stronghold, they beat up the bandit leader with ease.
Following Danzo's instructions, Minato placed his hands on the head of the man lying on the ground in front of him, who had been beaten half to death.
An illusion was activated.
In an instant, the man's eyes became blurred.
"Are you involved in the recent disappearance of children?"
In response to Minato's question, the bandit leader shook his head.
really......
There was disappointment in the eyes of several people.
But then, the other party nodded again and spoke in a steady tone.
"I know who did it."
