It would be foolish to still have doubts in such a crushing situation.
Not far away, Ebisu and the guardian ninja had almost fought to the end.
After being attacked several times in succession by Quanyan, Ebisu was vomiting blood, and his chakra was becoming scarce due to the continuous use of the body-flickering technique many times.
He would die after struggling for two or three more rounds.
The cold wind was blowing, ruffling the corners of clothes. Naruto knew through the Nine-Tails' perception that the huge daimyo's mansion was filled with cries of fear and whispers.
In this huge mansion, there are many servants, wives and children of the daimyo hiding. They are just ordinary people and dare not participate in the fight between ninjas.
After realizing that a battle had broken out in the mansion, most people chose to flee or hide at the first opportunity.
Naruto didn't bother to care about those people, they couldn't even see clearly what was going on, and there was no point in trying to silence them.
Just let them go.
What deserved Naruto's attention were the Konoha ninjas who were getting closer and closer.
Some people have already arrived in Daming Prefecture from outside the city.
"Time to get to work, Sasuke!"
"The Daimyo's guardian-nin is too slow. Let's go help him."
After saying that, Naruto flashed and disappeared from where he was.
Sasuke hurriedly followed, secretly complaining in his heart: "What are you trying to be cool about? You always run ahead, just to prove that you are faster than me?"
"I am coming too."
"Instant Technique!"
"."
"."
"boom!"
Another earth escape fist blasted down, and the stone slabs on the ground shattered in a circle with the point where the fist landed as the center, forming a huge spider web pattern.
Fortunately, Ebisu had just mobilized his limited chakra to move at high speed, and was able to barely escape. If that punch had hit him, he would have been dead.
Although he escaped, his broken left leg bone could no longer support him to stand. He could only hold on to the wall and stare at the guardian ninja intently.
Estimate where the opponent's next attack will be directed and whether he can escape.
"Huh~" The guardian nin waved his hands, also trying to judge which direction Ebisu would escape next time.
He was almost tortured to death before, and now he was ordered to kill people to fight back against the Konoha ninjas, which made him feel particularly refreshed.
That yellow-haired boy didn't lie to me, this guy's strength is really not that good.
Just kill him and you can leave.
"Brother, stop pestering me. I have a piece of advice for you. I have already sent out the signal flare for help. You still have time to escape now." Ebisu stared into the other's eyes and persuaded him.
The Guardian Ninja suddenly burst into laughter: "So, I have to kill you even faster."
After saying that, he stopped talking to Ebisu, raised his fist and rushed forward.
Ebisu frowned. He really didn't understand why the other party would rather stay here and risk death and was determined to kill him.
Could it be that because someone from Konoha once killed someone important to him, he is trying so hard to replace him with another one?
Staring at the opponent's fist that was getting closer and closer, Ebisu gritted his teeth and formed a seal: "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
"The same trick again." The guardian nin snorted coldly, jumped up to avoid the fireball, and when he looked down, Ebisu was no longer there.
Instead, they moved to other courtyards.
Damn Konoha ninja.
His strength is indeed stronger than wandering ninjas like us. It’s bad enough that he was intimidated by those two young geniuses before, but now it’s so difficult to kill a high-rated jonin.
Can't delay any longer.
If I delay any longer, I will be running out of chakra.
The guardian nin continued to chase in Ebisu's direction, shouting, "Do you think you can get away? Rat!"
Ebisu limped as he tried his best to escape, his clothes soaked with sweat, and he was cursing Naruto and Sasuke madly in his heart.
"Damn it, why don't these two trouble-making bastards come to rescue me."
"Could it be that they watched me being bullied on purpose because I didn't stand with them before?"
"Fortunately, there are a thousand Chunins who came with us. Without these two bastards, I could have been saved if I delayed a little longer."
"You two damned little bastards, when I get back, I will definitely explain your crimes to the whole village."
Thinking of this, Ebisu's heart became hot. He wanted to live, he must live.
No matter what, he had to go back and sue the two bastards who had caused him to end up like this. It would be best if the Hokage put them all in jail and sentenced them to ten or eight years.
The guardian nin was approaching, Ebisu's legs were disabled and his chakra was almost gone, so he could no longer use the teleportation to escape.
So he gritted his teeth, picked up two kunai, and went to face the guardian ninja, engaging in close combat with him.
He dodged the opponent's fist with a feint to the left, and then stabbed the opponent's heart and belly button with a pair of kunai.
Just when it was about to hit, the guardian nin suddenly retracted his feet and moved back, clasping his fists and smashing down with force.
"boom!"
Mud and snow flew everywhere, but what was smashed by the fist was a wooden stake.
"Replacement Technique!"
"What a rat!"
The guardian nin glanced over and saw Ebisu fleeing to the next yard again, so he quickly chased after him.
As his footsteps got closer, Ebisu became more panicked.
The substitution technique he used just now had already used up all of his chakra. If he came into contact with it again, he would surely die.
"No matter who it is, please come and save me."
It seemed as if God had answered Ebisu's prayers, as a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
In the snow, Naruto's clothes were blown up by the cold wind. He stood there like an immortal, with an indifferent expression, as if everything was just a trivial matter.
"Hahaha, I'm saved!" Ebisu laughed ferociously, as if he had already seen the death of the guardian nin who was chasing him.
He looked back confidently, wanting to taunt the other person.
Look, look.
When I let you escape, you chased me no matter what.
Now, you can't escape.
However, before Ebisu could finish his words, he was suddenly pushed hard on the back, pushing him towards the guardian nin.
The guardian ninja on the opposite side seemed to have expected it. He raised his fist and hit him hard. The powerful fist wind carried the power to break through the air and directly pierced Ebisu's chest.
His eyes widened and he fell on the guard-nin's shoulder, spitting blood.
"how come."
"How could I be the one who died!"
Ebisu, with reluctance, used up the last bit of strength in his body to push away the guardian nin.
He took a step back, stepped on the withered branches on the ground, and sank into the snow.
The sound of the branch breaking entered Ebisu's ears, and it seemed to be foreshadowing that his life was about to come to an end.
He wanted to turn around and look at Naruto, but his body no longer had the strength to support him to turn around. He could only open his eyes unwillingly and try to move his gaze in Naruto's direction.
Then he fell in the snow.
Looking at the direction where Naruto appeared before, there was no one there.
Seeing that there was no one around, the guardian nin also smiled happily.
In his opinion, his mission was accomplished and the other party was willing to let him go.
It's time to go.
However, just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly heard a series of "whoosh" sounds in his ears.
In an instant, he was surrounded by Konoha ninjas wearing green vests.
"You damn bastard, you are so bold that you dare to kill Konoha's special jonin!"
The Konoha ninjas surrounding them were filled with anger.
Murderous aura burst out of each of them, as if they were hungry wolves, ready to rush up and tear him to pieces at any time.
"Gudong~!" The guardian nin swallowed in fear. He looked around and saw that among the Konoha ninjas around him, Sasuke and Naruto, with whom he had negotiated before, were also there.
Then he knew.
These two guys are going to break their promise.
You two bastards, you promised to let me go!
As a strong man, don't you even keep your promises?
The guardian nin was so angry that he wanted to shout out their crimes, saying that they were the ones who ordered him to kill Ebisu.
But Naruto and Sasuke would never give him a chance to speak.
"Ahhh, Ebisu, my good friend, why did you die!"
"How could you die!"
Sasuke's eyes were red and tears flowed from his eye sockets like pearls from a broken string. His three-magatama Sharingan also evolved from three-magatama to Mangekyō in front of the public for the first time.
"Amaterasu!"
Blood flowed from his eye sockets, and a laughing black flame as big as half of the yard instantly swept over, setting the guardian nin's whole body on fire, and also implicated Ebisu's body.
At this time, Naruto quickly shot out the kunai again, which directly pierced the guardian nin's neck, making him unable to make a sound and fell into the fire.
But he was still not satisfied. With anger in his eyes, he continued to throw kunai and shuriken again and again.
