"Brother Dedale, are you alright?”
Dedale hadn't had time to deal with the corpse when Keiko Naka and the others ran over. They saw the hill collapse and were very worried about Dedale's safety, so they ran over without caring about the danger.
Dedale was somewhat moved. Many quests only treated the ninjas as tools to protect them and didn't care about their lives. Not to mention that the situation was unclear and it was very likely that he would be dragged into a dead end.
"It's fine. The crisis has been resolved.”Dedale gestured to the white-haired old man to relax.
"Leave the corpses to us. Although they are not as ordinary as you ninjas, we are very experienced.”The white-haired old man nodded and looked at Dedale with a satisfied expression. A ninja who could solve problems for his employer and nip danger in the bud was worthy of respect.
Geniuses might not necessarily receive the respect they deserve, but geniuses who grew up would definitely be revered by others. This was because this cruel world would eliminate too many so-called geniuses. Gods did not have time to give them growth. Only the fittest could survive.
If he hadn't prevented Dedale from contacting the princess because of Dedale's teacher, then he was now satisfied with Dedale himself. Only samurai would understand that the ones who truly held the right to speak in this world were not the famous people who were loved by the people, but the powerful big shots.
"Dedale, have you found out their identities?”The old man sent two guards to deal with the corpse before quickly walking over to Dedale and asking in a low voice.
Dedale helped Naka Keiko turn around and removed the hand blocking her eyes. He then said to the white-haired elder,"" It's not easy to be sure. At first, I determined that they were Wandering Ninjas, but then I met two more opponents. Their strength was probably at the level of elite ninjas. If I hadn't grasped their weak psychological strength, I wouldn't have been able to kill them so quickly.”
"Yes, most of the wandering ninjas live up to their name. Although they are called ninjas, we warriors can easily deal with them.”
" These two people have been specially trained in both ninjutsu and killing techniques. This isn't the 'treatment' that wandering ninjas can enjoy, but they don't have the Ninja Village logo on them. I think there's only one possibility…"
"What's going on?" The white-haired old man asked anxiously. This matter concerned the princess 'safety, so he had no choice but to pay attention.
"There's someone behind them, and there are traitors from Ninja Village among them!”
"If there are still people, then aren't we still in danger?”The white-haired old man frowned unconsciously, and his grip on the ninjato tightened.
"Yes, to be able to teach the wandering ninjas to this level, his or their level is not low. I think they should be the rebellious Jounin from the five hidden villages.”Dedale analyzed with certainty," But you don't have to worry too much. I eavesdropped on their conversation before, and their boss went to deal with the Dark Group that was protecting us in the dark. I think there should be some results now.”
"There hasn't been any movement from that side until now.”A warrior beside the old man could not help but ask. Dedale's side had made such a huge commotion, so the battle over there should have been even more intense. However, there was no sound at all. This concerned everyone's lives, so they couldn't help but worry.
"Aren't you underestimating the strength of the Hidden Rock's Dark Team? Even Shadow can't kill them silently.”Dedale glanced at him and faintly replied," There's no movement. They should have been easily killed by the few of them.”
"Why don't I send someone over to confirm?”The white-haired old man stroked his beard and said in a deep voice.
"Alright then." Although he was very confident in the strength of the Dark Group, the current situation was indeed a bit strange. Dedale didn't dare to be too careless, so he decided to confirm it.
The white-haired old man was thinking about who was suitable for this job when Dedale interrupted him." There's no need. Someone from the Dark Group is coming.”
Not far away, a masked man dressed in black was rushing over. The symbol of Hidden Rock Village was engraved on his mask.
"I heard that there was a battle here too. Are you guys alright?”The Dark Group stopped in front of Dedale and asked with concern.
"Hmph hmph, you're too late. Brother Dedale has already finished you off.”Keiko Naka proudly raised her head and pouted at the Dark Group. "You're really slow to throw the trouble to Brother Dedale. If Brother Dedale gets injured, I'll definitely teach you a lesson.
"I'm sorry, we were delayed by the enemies behind us, so the rescue was a little late. But seeing that you guys aren't injured, I'm relieved. Thanks to you, little ninja." The Dark Group's tone was full of apology." You must be the little princess. You're so cute!”
Keiko Naka did not understand the praise from the Dark Group. She turned her head to the other side angrily.
"It's nothing. After all, my mission is to protect the princess. This is my responsibility.”Dedale felt like he had missed something, but he couldn't recall it.
"Haha, since the crisis has been resolved, let's hurry up and go.”Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the white-haired old man quickly said," There's only one day left. Let's speed up and avoid any accidents on the way."”
Hearing the old man's order, the guards around them immediately got busy. They had just been having lunch, so it would take some effort to clean up.
"Brother Dedale, let's learn how to make carriages. You have to seriously teach me how to make clay works.”Keiko Naka held Dedale's hand and said with a joyful expression.
'Hey, hey, so many things have happened, but you still haven't forgotten?' Dedale was speechless.
"Ah, Brother Dedale, why is your hand still stained with blood? Are you injured?”Feeling a sticky feeling on her hand, Keiko Naka glanced at it and saw a small pool of blood. That hand had just pulled Dedale's hand.
"Blood?" Dedale raised his hand and found that there was blood on his hand." It's fine. This is the enemy's blood."”As she spoke, she wiped it on her pants.
Keiko Naka hurriedly stopped Dedale's actions and took out a fragrant handkerchief from her pocket." This isn't very sanitary. It's better to use my handkerchief."”
Wait, I know what's wrong. His clothes are too clean. There are no traces of a fight at all. There were loopholes in his words. The most important thing in this mission was to ensure the safety of Naka Keiko. Even if they were held back by the enemy, they would do everything they could to quickly come to their aid.
Dedale's thoughts immediately changed. No wonder he felt that his words were very strange. Your mission is to protect the princess, so how could you not confirm that you are protecting someone? Although he was not a famous person, he was still a personal disciple of Tu Ying. How could he not know him?
There was something wrong with this Dark Group. He was fake!!
No, Keiko Naka is in danger.
Dedale was startled and reached out to grab Keiko Naka's arm, but it was too late.
A figure flashed past Dedale and abducted Princess Keiko Naka. At the same time, Dedale felt a sharp pain in his arm, and the arm that he was trying to grab Keiko Naka with splattered with blood.
The sudden change of events would catch everyone off guard. How could comrades from the same camp fight against each other? However, everyone's reaction was not slow. A few people who were close quickly surrounded the Dark Group. Whoever kidnapped the princess would be their enemy.
"Haha, looks like I was a step too fast.”The Dark Group sneered, which was very different from their previous friendliness." However, I'm very curious. How did you find out that I'm a fake? I think my disguise is more convincing.”
"You clearly had an intense battle, but there's not a single trace left on your body. Moreover, your words just now are full of loopholes.”Dedale stared closely at the Dark Group, bandaging his injured left hand to stop the bleeding while secretly guarding against his sudden attack.
Perhaps they thought that they had the overall situation under control, so the Dark Group didn't attack the currently in poor condition Dedale.
"Oh, I didn't expect that changing clothes would become a flaw. I was a little careless.”The Dark Group grabbed the struggling Keiko Naka with one hand and stuck her head out with the other as if she was blaming herself." Brat, you should feel lucky. If you didn't realize it, you would have been my target. No matter what, you're the most threatening one among you."
Dedale's forehead was covered in sweat. Just thinking about it made him feel a bit scared. It was indeed as he said. As long as he dealt with Dedale, Keiko Naaka and the others would be at his mercy.
Especially in a sneak attack, the possibility of killing Dedale in one hit was very high.
