" Be careful, Ito-sensei."
The three of them saw the hands that suddenly attacked Ito Masahiko, and Sunset Red let out a worried cry.
However, Xi Rihong's worry about the Immortal was unnecessary. If even the three of them could notice, how could Ito Masahiko not notice? Just as the hands were about to grab him, he suddenly twisted his body and turned around to kick, sending both hands flying.
Ito Masahiko used a lot of force, but after his hands were kicked away, they quickly flew in another direction as if they were being controlled.
Seeing this, Ito Masahiko was stunned and exclaimed,""Puppet Master?"
In Ito Masahiko's impression, the only people who could control objects remotely were the Puppet Masters of the Sunin Village.
Mizuno also heard Ito Masahiko's exclamation, but he did not agree with Ito Masahiko's guess. He could clearly see that the hands were controlled by thin threads, not the Chakra strings used by the Puppet Masters.
"There's no mistake about this attack method. It's definitely him, Jiao Du.”
Although he had yet to see the person, Shui Yun was 100% sure that the attacker was Jiao Du, one of the Undying Duo of the Akatsuki organization. Only his ninjutsu could unleash such a strange attack.
After the hands were pulled back, a tall man with a covered face appeared in front of Shui Yun and the others.
"No wonder you were able to kill that bunch of trash. It turns out that you're Muye's ninja. From the looks of it, you should be Muye's Jounin.”
Although he was asking a question, his tone was already very certain. Shui Yun and the other two were directly ignored.
"You are Jiao Du?" Ito Masahiko looked at Jiao Du with a serious expression. He could feel a huge pressure from Jiao Du. This person was definitely an expert, perhaps even stronger than him.
"Hmm?" Jiao Du frowned and asked curiously,"You know me?"
Ito Masahiko shook his head." No, I don't know you. It was your subordinate who told me your name."”
"Since you know my name, you must die." Jiao Du said coldly.”As he finished speaking, Jiao Du's body suddenly emitted a terrifying killing intent. The ordinary people of the merchant group were all intimidated by Jiao Du's killing intent and screamed as they fled.
Ito Masahiko looked at the panicking scene and immediately said to Mizuki,""Shui Yun, you take them and leave. I'll block him.”
"No, Mr. Ito, we will never leave you behind.”Mizuno rejected Ito Masahiko's proposal without hesitation.
When Ito Masahiko heard what Mizuki said, he immediately became anxious and whispered to Mizuki,""Shuiyun, this person is different from those people before. He is very strong and is not someone you can fight against.”
In Ito Masahiko's opinion, this Kakuto was unfathomable. Although Mizumoku was a genius, he was still young. If he fought with Kakuto, this Kakuto would definitely not show mercy. If Mizumoku was injured or killed, the consequences would be unbearable. At that time, the third generation Naruto and Kirai would not let him off, and he would not be able to explain to his savior.
Therefore, even though he knew that Mizuki could be his helper with his strength, Ito Masahiko was still unwilling to let Mizuki participate in the battle.
However, how could Shui Yun really leave? He said in a low voice,"I've never encountered such an enemy since I started cultivating. If I want to become stronger, I have to take the risk of being killed. From the day I decided to become a ninja, I was already prepared to die in battle, so I will never retreat.”
Ito Masahiko was stunned by what Mizuno said. He didn't expect a child like Mizuno to have such awareness.
"I'm not leaving either." "I'm not leaving either."
Just as he was about to persuade Shuiyun, Mai Te Kai and Sunset Red gave the same answer as Shuiyun. This made Ito Masahiko so anxious that he wanted to curse. However, Ito Masahiko quickly suppressed the urge to curse. He tried his best to soften his voice and said,"As the captain, I order you to leave with the caravan immediately. As ninjas, you should prioritize the mission.”
Shui Yun was silent for a moment, then said to Xi Rihong and Maitekai,"Kai, Hong, you two take the caravan and leave. I'll stay behind to help Ito sensei.”
"No, I want to stay too. Hong will go alone.”Maitekai was adamant against it. Red didn't say anything, but her expression was obviously very unwilling.
In fact, it wasn't Ma Tekai's fault for not wanting to leave. They really didn't know how terrifying this enemy was. They didn't understand why Ito Masahiko wanted them to leave. This person seemed to be in cahoots with the previous group. The previous group had been dealt with so easily. How powerful could this person who suddenly appeared be?
In fact, even Ito Masahiko did not know how powerful this man named Kakuto was. However, as an elite Jounin who had been through hundreds of battles, he could feel that Kakuto was different from the moment he saw him. The murderous aura that Kakuto emitted made even Ito Masahiko feel a chill. He was obviously a ruthless person who killed people like flies.
However, this feeling could not be expressed in words. Seeing that the three of them were unwilling to leave, Ito Masahiko became even more anxious. He could clearly see the unfriendly look in Kakuto's eyes. If the weaker Mai Tekai and Sunset Red stayed, it would definitely be very bad. Therefore, Ito Masahiko said sternly,"Kai, Hong, the two of you quickly lead the caravan away and complete the mission.”
Their mission this time was to escort the caravan to the capital of the Country of Fire. As long as they could get them there, their mission would be considered complete. They were not far from the capital and their biggest enemy was the Jiao Capital that had suddenly appeared. As long as they could stop him, they would not have to worry about the safety of the caravan.
The reason why Ito Masahiko didn't let Mizuki leave was because he knew that Mizuki had already made up his mind not to leave. No matter what he said, Mizuki wouldn't leave. In that case, he had no choice but to let Mizuki stay. However, Ito Masahiko did not dare to let Mai Tekai and Sunset Red stay. Their strength was far inferior to Shui Yun's. If there was only Shui Yun, he could still take care of them during the battle. If it was Mai Tekai and Sunset Red, he would not be able to take care of them.
It was the first time they saw Ito Masahiko's serious expression. Mai Te Kai and Xi Ri Hong pondered for a moment, then agreed to help the caravan leader pack up the goods and leave.
Kakuto had been watching from the side. Other than the sneak attack from before, he did not attack again when the merchant group left. Instead, he stared at Ito Masahiko. What he wanted now was the heart of the Wind Escape Ninja. He thought that Ito Masahiko was this person.
Moreover, as long as he killed Ito Masahiko, the caravan would be his sooner or later.
