This little girl had a small round face, some freckles on her face, and a braid. She looked like a little girl next door. Her name was Naiba Yamanaka.
She was now like a frightened rabbit. She had been frightened by Kato Duan just now and almost had a mental breakdown. However, when she recognized Kato as the rear guard, her eyes immediately lit up with joy and she said anxiously,"We…we encountered enemies in Yellow Chrysanthemum Valley! It was a ninja from Hidden Rain Village! They have two Chuunin level experts, we can't beat them…Senior Mizuki, Senior Mizuki and the others risked their lives to protect me and let me go back to the village to ask for help…Senior Duan, hurry up and save them!!”
She spoke intermittently, and the more Kato Duan listened, the uglier his expression became. After she finished speaking, he nodded with a cold gaze and said,"Yellow Chrysanthemum Valley, right? Alright, I'll go right away. You can go back to the village and call for help…"
Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes suddenly flashed. He threw out his right hand and shot a handful of Kunai at a patch of grass in front of him.
"Swoosh!" In the next second, a figure jumped out of the grass and fled into the distance like an ape.
Naha was stunned for a moment before she reacted and immediately exclaimed,""Ah! It's…it's the people who are chasing after me!"
As she spoke, she subconsciously turned her head to look at Kato Daren, but Kato Daren had already disappeared.
In the distance, a skinny male ninja with a Hidden Rain Village forehead protector was running through the forest. There was a hint of panic in his eyes as he thought,""Damn it! I actually ran into someone from the Woodleaf Village here. Moreover, he doesn't seem to be weak. He actually discovered me. For safety's sake, it's best not to communicate with him…"
"Since you're here, why are you running?”
Just as the Hidden Rain Village ninja was lost in his thoughts, a cold voice suddenly entered his ears. His expression changed drastically. With a wave of his right hand, a handful of Kunai appeared in his hand. Without even turning his head, he turned his hand and stabbed behind him.
His reaction was fast, but unfortunately, this attack hit nothing but air. In the next second, he felt a grip on his neck, and then a strong force hit him. His entire body was lifted up, and then he slammed onto the ground!
"Bang!"
A dull sound was particularly ear-piercing in the quiet forest. Kato Duan attacked in anger, and this puny Genin was naturally unable to resist. He was directly knocked unconscious.
Kato Den carried the man back and said to the dumbfounded Naiba Yamanaka,""Tie him up and watch him. Wait here for the people from the Dark Group to arrive.”
As he spoke, he threw the person in his hand on the ground and took out an alarm scroll. After activating it, a bunch of red signal fireworks rushed into the sky.
After that, Kato Dun did not have time to say anything else. He nodded slightly at Naha, turned around, and disappeared into the forest ahead.
……
"Damn it, damn it! Why did this happen? Wasn't it a simple C-rank mission? Why did he encounter such danger?”
Kato Duan was cursing in his heart as he sped through the forest. He was extremely anxious, but at the same time, he was extremely regretful.
Although he knew that his sister would be sacrificed if he followed the original Naruto story, he never thought that his sister's simple mission would be in danger.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let my sister leave that day!
Could it be that his sister's death was related to this mission?!
"Impossible, it can't be such a coincidence…It just has to be this time!”Kato Duan's eyes were bloodshot. He gritted his teeth and said," Even if it is…I will definitely not allow it to happen! Meiyue…you must hold on, I'll come and save you right away!!”
……
At the same time, in a valley not too far from Woodleaf Village.
This valley was called the 'Yellow Chrysanthemum Valley' because there were many yellow chrysanthemums growing in it. During peaceful times, people would often come here to enjoy the scenery. However, now that it was a time of war, naturally, few people would come.
At this moment, in front of a mountain wall in Yellow Chrysanthemum Valley, there were two groups of people confronting each other.
On one side were five ninjas in black combat suits and wearing Hidden Rain Village forehead protectors. They were all young men.
In front of these people, there were three fifteen-year-old children with their backs against the mountain wall. There were two boys and a girl. Both boys were seriously injured and were sitting on the mountain wall, on the verge of death. It was obvious that they had lost their ability to fight. The girl in front of them was Miyuki Suzumiya!
Although Meiyue was still standing, she looked rather disheveled. Her hair was disheveled and she was injured in many places, especially on her right leg. It was difficult for her to stand still, but she still gritted her teeth and stood in front of her two companions. She held a handful of Kunai with both hands and stared at the enemy in front of her, as if she would fight them to the death if they caught up.
On the other hand, the five Hidden Rain Village ninjas only had a few small wounds on their bodies. They looked relaxed and looked at Mei Yue as if she was a cat playing with a mouse.
" Heh, Muye's ninjas are really tenacious…" One of the ninjas chuckled." They're still standing after suffering such heavy injuries."”
"It's already not bad to become a chuunin at such a young age.”Another person mocked," It's a pity that he's too stupid. He actually protected a Genin while he stayed behind to protect two useless people…If he had run away alone from the beginning, he might have been able to escape…"
The ninja who looked the oldest among them said,""Brat, don't put up any unnecessary resistance. Give up and obediently become our captive.”
Mei Yue pursed her lips and said,""Don't even think about it! Muye's ninjas will never surrender!"
The leader of the group, Yu Ren, snorted coldly,"Don't be ungrateful! If it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to keep you alive to ask for some information, you would have died countless times!”
" Even if I die…" Mizuki said resolutely." Don't even think about getting any information about Woodleaf Village from me!"”
The other party suddenly revealed a mocking smile and said jokingly,"Is that so? Then, I hope that you can still have this kind of backbone when you taste the pain of living and dying…"
Upon hearing this, Meiyue instinctively felt that something was wrong. However, before she could figure out what was wrong, she felt darkness above her head. She looked up in panic and saw a figure falling from above. Before she could react, it had crashed into her and pressed her to the ground!
Her hands and feet were all controlled by the enemy in an instant. Mei Yue looked up in shock and fear. Only then did she see that one of the five enemies in front of her suddenly distorted and disappeared.
Clone Technique!
One of the basic ninjutsu. It can create a phantom clone without any attack power to confuse the enemy.
The leader of the group, Yu Ren, walked up to Mizuki and looked down at her with a mocking expression.""Hehe, I finally caught you…"
