Blood Yueyu and Mao Yue Xiyan walked out of the boundary of the Woodleaf Village through the special passage of the 'root'. What greeted them was a forest. A green breeze blew their clothes and hair, and the moonlight shone on their faces.
At that moment, Xue Yueyu smiled. He felt the aura of freedom in his heart. He finally did not need to disguise himself and no longer had a 'root' that restrained him. He could vent his emotions to his heart's content and do whatever he wanted to do. After relaxing for a while, his expression became serious and his entire body tensed up. He was on high alert and his eyes were on guard against the movements of the forest. He knew very well that the journey ahead would be the most dangerous.
Xue Yueyu did not dare to let her guard down at all. She reminded him cautiously,""Xiyan, we must be alert for the rest of the journey. Only when we walk out of this forest can we be considered to have left Muye.”
Maoyue Xiyan noticed that he was worried about her. She smiled and held the ninjato in her hand tightly."Yu, I will take care of myself. I am also a ninja.”
Xue Yueyu did not say anything else after hearing this answer because he only believed in Xiyan. After all, she was not a delicate girl but a stubborn and competitive girl. If he protected her too much, it would only suppress her growth. Besides, Ninja Realm was a cruel existence. She must have the power to protect herself.
The two of them looked at each other and quickly ran into the forest.
At this moment, in the quiet forest, three ninjas dressed in the uniform of the Koba Guards were placing explosive talismans in front of a few trees. The clan emblem on their backs symbolized the Uchiha clan, a famous wood clan.
A young ninja wearing a wooden leaf on his forehead was holding the line of fire of the explosive talisman and hiding in a place where it was difficult for others to notice. He complained,"Captain Nakagawa, setting up so many traps in the forest will be a waste if no enemies invade. Once the alert is lifted, we will still be the ones to remove the traps. As a member of the Uchiha clan, it is only our turn to set up traps. This is simply wrong.”
" Kid, you better be serious. Stop complaining. As a ninja, you shouldn't underestimate any mission. Moreover, the village is in a critical moment. Setting traps is one of the most important missions. Once the enemy invades, this is the best way to deal with the enemy.”The middle-aged man named Nakagawa had a serious expression on his face as he glared at the young ninja. Then, his steady and serious voice rang out,""Kid, you can't even complete the simplest mission seriously. Let alone going to the battlefield, I think I'll get Captain Fu Yue to arrange for you to guard the wooden leaf gate next time!”
The young ninja, who was constantly sticking explosive talismans on his forehead and wearing a wooden leaf on his waist, could not help but tease,"Captain Nakagawa is right. Morino should be guarding the gate. His big mouth has never stopped. As a guard, he will definitely interrogate everyone who enters the village to ensure that the village will not be invaded by spies.”
The ninja named Morino, who had complained earlier, immediately looked displeased and said sarcastically,"Tanaka, don't you dare hit me when I'm down. Don't think I don't know that you hate this mission from the bottom of your heart.”
"Morino, do you want to have another competition with me?”Tanaka was extremely unhappy, extremely dissatisfied with being called a good child by others.
"Don't think that just because I lost to you last time, you can do whatever you want in front of me!”Morino retorted.
"Stop immediately. We're here to complete a mission, not to quarrel.”Nakagawa said sternly with a stern face. He wanted to stop the two people who were quarreling. He knew these two people very well. They fought non-stop all day long. If he didn't stop them, he wouldn't be able to complete the mission.
When the two of them saw that Captain Nakagawa was angry, they immediately stopped talking. They deeply understood how powerful Nakagawa was!
At this moment, a loud explosion came from the forest not far away. The three of them could not help but tense up. They stopped what they were doing and looked at the place where the fire was coming from.
"Intruders?" Morino said excitedly.
Nakagawa knew what was going on from the sound and the fire in the distance. His face was solemn as he said seriously,""It's the Explosion Talisman's trap that has been triggered. Not long ago, the third generation Lord Naruto had given an absolute order that no one is allowed to leave Woodleaf Village at this time. Moreover, pedestrians are prohibited from entering this forest. It's very likely that the trap has been triggered by an intruder.”
"Yes, Captain Nakagawa!" The two of them answered in unison.
The three of them turned into black shadows and ran toward the place where the fire was flashing in the distance.
The place where the fire was shining was filled with smoke. The remains of trees were everywhere, and they were gradually burning. However, in the middle stood a man and a woman. Moreover, the two of them were surrounded by red walls of blood. Under the illumination of the fire, they looked even more blood-red and strange.
They were Xue Yueyu and Maoyue Xiyan.
At this moment, Xue Yueyu frowned and quickly turned the blood wall into a sharp blood blade. She looked around cautiously and said,""It's an Explosion Talisman trap! Fortunately, the power of the blood vein was used at the moment of the explosion. It seems that someone has set up all kinds of traps in the forest. However, the explosion just now should have exposed our position!”
"Yu, are you alright?" Maoyue Xiyan, who had reacted after the explosion, pulled out the ninjato on her back and asked worriedly as she guarded her surroundings.
"To me, this attack is just a bee sting. The power of the blood vein isn't that weak!”" Be careful," Xue Yueyu said casually." Muye's ninjas are here!"”
"Yes!"? Maoyue Xiyan gradually calmed down and replied.
"Xiu! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
After the voice, three figures appeared on a tree not far from Xue Yueyu. They looked at Xue Yueyu and the other woman.
Xue Yueyu's tightly knitted brows relaxed. Her expression was calm as she stared at the three enemies on the tree in the distance with her sharp eyes."It's fine as long as the enemy appears. After all, it's impossible to guard against the enemy in the dark!”
Maoyue Xiyan held her ninjato tightly and stared at the enemy in the distance. Battle intent rose in her heart."This time, I definitely can't be a burden!”
Nakagawa, who was standing on a big tree, could clearly feel the great fighting spirit coming from the two people in the distance. One of them was emitting a very powerful aura and a chilling killing intent. This was not a simple enemy. He quickly said to the two people beside him,"Tanaka, go back to the village and ask for help immediately. Morino, don't act rashly later. I'll go and investigate the enemy's intelligence first. Then, try to lead the enemy to trigger the trap and delay the enemy until reinforcements arrive!”
"Yes, sir!" The two of them replied.
Tanaka immediately disappeared from the tree.
After Xue Yueyu noticed that a ninja had disappeared, she could not help but think,""Looks like we have to end this quickly!"
