"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
A dense number of shurikens and Kunai flew over from all directions, sealing off all the escape routes of Xiangmen and the others.
A sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound echoed in the forest. The sound of rapid footsteps in the distance was gradually approaching.
When Xiang Men discovered the strange situation around him, he immediately called out to the others to stop them. However, he was still a step too late and was surrounded by the forest.
" Damn it, looking at the number of Shuriken and Kunai, there are at least 30 ninjas around. And from the accuracy of these sharp weapons…" Shogon looked at the shuriken in front of him and frowned." It seems like most of these ninjas are at the Chuunin level…"
" What?!"
At this moment, they were hiding in the roots of a large tree, narrowly avoiding the rain of shurikens.
Behind the flying gate were Aytay and Crimson Earth, while the escort, Mr. Ajia, was slumped at the back of the group.
Aytay and Chi Tu's faces were filled with disbelief. They were clearly shocked by Xiang Gate's words.
However, although they still had a trace of hope in their hearts, they already believed in Xiang Gate's analysis. This was because they had carried out missions together in the past six months, so they naturally understood each other. Therefore, they knew that the analysis of the enemy's strength before each battle had never been wrong.
"I'll lure the enemy away, you guys find a chance to break out.”Chi Tu said without hesitation after recovering from his shock.
"No, we have too little information on the enemy ninjas. We can't take the risk.”Xiangmen calmly analyzed.
"Hmph, it's all this old pervert's fault!"
Aytay snorted coldly and turned around to look at Mr. Ajia, who had turned into a dead pig from fear. The killing intent in her eyes intensified.
"How dare you lie to us and conceal the enemy's information. You deserve to die!”
Mr. Ajia, who was paralyzed on the ground due to extreme fear, was awakened by Aytay's intense killing intent. He looked at Xiang Men and the others in front of him and suddenly roared like a madman.
"You can't kill me. I'm a tycoon of the Thunder Country and my wealth is comparable to that of a country. If I die here, you and your country will be buried with me.”
In the arena, Xiang Men raised his eyebrows but did not say anything. On the other hand, Chi Tu shrugged his shoulders and still had a silly smile on his face. As for Aytay, he raised his right hand and slapped it forward.
"Pa!"
With a crisp sound, the giant merchant Ajia's body flew out. The right side of his face that had been slapped gradually swelled up. Blood kept flowing from the corner of his mouth. There were even a few of his teeth that had fallen on the ground.
Aytay's palm strike was still unable to appease her anger. She stood up and wanted to rush up and give him another round of punches and kicks. At this moment, a pale hand grabbed her arm and stopped her.
Xiang Men looked at her calmly and slowly shook his head. Then, he turned to look at the giant merchant Ajia who was trying hard to get up not far away.
" Mr. Ajia, I think you should also know that the main responsibility for the failure of this mission lies with you," he said slowly, his tone gradually becoming stern." If any of us dies in this mission, then I think that Old Man Tuying will definitely not let you off. You will be hunted down by the elite ninjas of Hidden Rock Village."”
"So, you better pray for us. You're also praying for yourself.”
Xiang Men said with an indifferent expression. His gaze suddenly turned cold, making Mr. Ajia tremble.
"Crimson Earth, hold the fort outside for a while. Aytay, watch over Mister Ajia. If he doesn't cooperate properly, cut off his arms. If that doesn't work, cut off his legs and abandon him.”
Xiangmen said coldly. Suddenly, his expression changed. He looked at Mr. Ajia with a smile and asked,"Now, can you tell me the specific situation of those ninjas outside?”
Mr. Ajia nodded shakily and slowly revealed the secret hidden in his heart.
......
Behind a big tree, Xiang Men secretly observed the situation in front of him.
Not long ago, he had learned some information about the enemy ninjas from Mr. Ajia, but his heart had truly turned cold because of it.
The ninjas that ambushed them were a secret ninja organization in the Country of Thunder. They were the largest underground organization in the country. According to Mr. Ajia's speculation, the leader of the organization was likely to be close to this ambush.
"Thirty-two middle ninjas and three upper ninjas…This was not an ambush, this was a massacre!”He was frustrated and secretly said angrily.
Regarding the matter of Mr Ajia hiding information, the most agitated Aytay even pulled out her Kunai and wanted to end his life. However, Shingmen stopped her.
"This is our first time carrying out a B-rank mission. We can't give up just because the situation has changed. Moreover, it's our first time carrying out a mission with a new difficulty.”He explained to Aytai.
After that, Red Earth managed to create a path through the heavy encirclement of the enemy ninjas. The few of them broke out of the encirclement, and Shomon protected them from the back. However, because they were carrying a burden, their speed of escape was much slower than the pursuers behind them. They were finally caught up when they were still five miles away from their destination.
The few of them used their own powerful ninjutsu and finally pulled away a little.
At this moment, Xiang Men could already see the group of ninjas rushing over. They were less than a hundred meters away.
"Looks like we won't be able to reach our destination safely!”He turned his head and smiled." However, the mission still has to be carried out and completed.”
"Therefore, we need someone to stay behind to block the enemy for a while.”
After he finished speaking slowly, the scene instantly quieted down.
In the next moment, the sound of the enemy's rapid movement was clearly transmitted into everyone's ears.
"It's too late, I..."
"I'll stay!"
Xiang Men looked at Aytay in surprise. He was about to take on the task of stopping the enemy, but the latter beat him to it.
"This won't do. I'll stay behind. You guys take Mr. Ajia and leave quickly.”Chi Tu said with a serious expression.
"No matter what you say, I will definitely stay behind to stop the enemy.”Aytai said without backing down.
"Heh." Xiang Gate smiled and said," There's no time to fight now.”
His face suddenly darkened, and he said in a tone that could not be rejected,"Aytay and I will stay behind. Crimson Earth, you will escort Mr. Ajia to the destination. You must complete the mission.”
Red Earth opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Xiang Gate stretched out his right hand and waved.
"We are less than five miles away from our destination. One person is enough to escort Mr. Aja. Aytay and I will try our best to buy you some time.”
“... Be careful!"
Red Earth finally nodded. He pulled up the dead Mr. Ajia and quickly ran into the distance.
