Konoha: The seal art teacher of the ninja school

Chapter 120 Kushina's Recapture Operation (Two in One)

Naruto Office.

Although it was past eight o'clock, the office was still brightly lit.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was sitting in his seat processing various documents.

Although the war between Konoha and Yun Yin has come to an end, there are still many aftermath work that he needs to handle personally.

Looking at the thick stack of unprocessed documents on the table, he smiled wryly and rubbed his right shoulder.

"Hey, it seems that there is no time to play cards tonight, and the ranking will be overtaken by that kid Fuyue again."

"Lord Hokage!"

At this moment, Anbu suddenly appeared, half kneeling in Hokage's office.

"what's up?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi put aside a document that had just been reviewed, and asked casually.

"In particular Natsuhiko Ninja Yusheng, who is outside the building right now, saying that he has something very important to see you, Hokage-sama."

"Oh? Is it Xia Yan?"

The third generation raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing what Xia Yan wanted from him for a while.

After pondering for a few seconds, he opened his mouth and said:

"Let him in."

"Yes!" Anbu replied, and left the office instantly.

After a while, Xia Yan walked into the office quickly, and before the cheerful third generation could speak, he quickly said:

"Master Hokage, Kushina was kidnapped by the ninja of Yun Yin, and is now in the forest north of Konoha, please organize a team to rescue immediately!"

"Wh...what!?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's smile disappeared immediately, and his face changed suddenly, "Xia Yan, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

"It can't be wrong."

Xia Yan showed the bracelet on his left hand and said,
"Master Hokage, this is my newly invented communication bracelet, which can use Chakrapo for long-distance communication."

"For the test, I also gave one to Kushina, and she asked me for help just now through her bracelet."

"Communication bracelet..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and it was easy to think of how useful this thing could be in a war.

Xia Yan, why did he invent such a powerful thing again without making a sound?
But the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to think about it. He quickly took out the crystal ball from the drawer, pulled off the blood-stained dust cloth on it, and began to use his self-created telescope technique.

Although he knew that Xia Yan would not just talk about it, but the matter was important, he still had to confirm it.

It would be really funny if after a lot of hard work, it turns out that Kushina just made a joke on Xia Yan.

This telescope technique can not only locate according to the location, but also according to a specific chakra.

As the future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina's Chakra is naturally recorded in it.

However, after the third generation performed this operation, Kushina's figure was still not visible on the crystal ball.

It's not the pitch black that was disturbed by the shielding circle, but a blur like a fog.

Seeing this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's heart suddenly sank.

Because this only represents two possibilities.

One is that the target has left Konoha, beyond the detection range of the telescope technique.

The second is that the target is dead, and there is no chakra in the body...

Either way, it's not good news for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, compared to the second possibility, he now hopes that what Xia Yan said is correct, that Jiu Xinnai was really taken away.

However, the problem is that Kushina has Anbu watching and Konoha is protected by an enchantment. How could Yunyin's ninja kidnap her quietly?
Suppressing the doubt and anger in his heart, he performed the telescope technique twice more.

The first time the goal was to protect Kushina's Anbu ninja, the picture was blurry again...

The second target was the post house where the Yunyin Mission lived, and this time the picture finally appeared.

You can see the ninjas of the Yunyin Mission gathered in the yard.

They are still wearing black shoulders in December, and they are struggling with various equipment. The picture looks quite anxious.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi endured the hot-eyed scene, counted the number of people, and found that there was not a single person missing.

Was it someone else who made the move, or was there only a shadow clone left?
It's a pity that he can't even verify it. After all, if they are really shadow clones, they will notify the main body after they disappear, making rescue more difficult.

Sarutobi Hiruza couldn't help but feel a little headache.

This technique invented by Master Nidaimu really makes people love and hate it.

Then he clapped his hands and said in a deep voice:
"Come on!"

"Master Hokage!" an Anbe appeared instantly.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi ordered: "Let 'Husky', 'Insect'... and Hinata Hinata come to see me right away!"

"Yes!" The Anbu disappeared again.

Then Hiruzaru Sarutobi turned his eyes to Xia Yan again, seeing that he was looking at the crystal ball with great interest, the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

He also heard about the child's "copy" ability from Lake Biwa.

Not to mention that Xia Yanyi just mentioned the principle of the communication bracelet, which reminded him of the secret technique of the mountain clan.

So when he saw Xia Yan staring at the crystal ball, it made him feel a little creepy.

This kid, you don't want to copy the cottage on my head, do you?

He coughed twice to draw Xia Yan's attention back, and then said:

"Xia Yan, you did a good job this time. If it weren't for you, we don't know when we would know that Jiu Xinnai was taken away."

"Also, Xia Yan, can you still use that communication bracelet to contact Jiu Xinna?"

Xia Yan shook his head slightly, "The distance is too far, and it has left the maximum range of communication."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi also expected something, and sighed helplessly.

Then Xia Yan smiled again and said:

"Of course, the more important thing is that I'm just a shadow clone here, and the communication bracelet in my hand is naturally just a fake, and there is no way to use it."

"Shadow clone...Xia Yan, don't you..."

Sarutobi Hirazan's eyes widened, and he looked at Xia Yan in surprise.

"Master Hokage, don't worry, my main body is only using the communication bracelet for long-distance tracking. If there is no chance, I will not act rashly." Xia Yan spread his hands.

"And my main body will also make marks along the way, so that the rescue team can catch up with the enemy faster."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that.

He was afraid that Xia Yan's head would get hot for a while, and he wanted to go to the hero to save the beauty.

After seeing Xia Yan's communication bracelet, his evaluation of Xia Yan improved again,

If such an important scientific research talent accidentally died, or even worse, bought one get one free and was taken away by Yunyin Village, then he would really vomit blood.

So seeing Xia Yan's mind so clear, Hiruzaru Sarutobi was very pleased.

In this way, he can let Xia Yan take on more important responsibilities in this rescue operation...

At this time, Xia Yan leaned slightly and said: "Master Hokage, since I have nothing to do here, then I should release the shadow clone and return to the main body."

"I wonder if Master Hokage has anything to say to the main body?"

……

In the dense forest to the north of Konoha, a stream of blue light was rampaging unscrupulously.

It can be vaguely seen that Liu Guang's main body is a white-haired youth.

A strange machine he was carrying was crazily spraying blue flames backwards, propelling him forward at an astonishing speed.

And this young man is naturally Xia Yan who is on his way.

With a click, a hot wooden ball just popped out of the machine, and Xia Yan reached out and scooped it into his arms.

"I used up another chakra capacitor."

Xia Yan, who was wearing windproof glasses, smiled helplessly, and took out another capacitor and stuffed it into the machine.

"It seems that we still have to seriously design a means of transportation. This broken rocket backpack simply compresses the Chakra and releases it. The energy utilization efficiency is too low."

"Perhaps we have to start from the direction of Feng Dun..."

While thinking in his heart, Xia Yan pushed forward at a high speed without slowing down.

From time to time, the rocket backpack would be unstable due to the chakra ejection, causing the direction of advancement to deviate.

Xia Yan had to use the device on his wrist to shoot out spider silk for fine-tuning, stumbling and finally still moving forward at high speed.

At the same time, Xia Yan kept taking out strange white projectiles and smashing them on the nearby trees, forming white bat signs with arrows, which were used to guide the follow-up rescue team.

At this moment, Xia Yan's expression suddenly froze slightly. It turned out that he was going to inform the third generation of Mukage that the avatar had returned.

"S-level mission, is Kushina taking it back?"

Xia Yan was a little bit dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the third generation's message would actually post a task for him.

Although he was only responsible for leading the way, the third generation also gave him the authority to act expediently.

Just hope that this permission will not be used.

Xia Yan murmured in his heart.

However, things did not seem to be developing in the direction Xia Yan hoped for.

He has been using the rocket backpack to attack for nearly an hour, but from the state of the red hair left by Kushina along the way, he can judge that he is still a certain distance away from the opponent.

You must know that although this rocket backpack has many problems due to its temporary construction, its speed is at least two or three times faster than that of ordinary ninjas.

This means that this group of Yunyin ninjas have been leaving at full speed since they left Konoha, and they have no intention of retaining their physical strength at all.

This situation made Xia Yan feel slightly depressed.

Because just now, in addition to the mission issued by the third generation, he actually gave him all the information about the ninjas of the Yunyin Mission to his shadow avatar, and even made plans for him for various situations.

But now it's a bad situation.

This means that the other party has made sufficient preparations in advance, and there is someone to meet him not far from Konoha, so he is not afraid of physical exertion at all.

If they are allowed to join, even with the addition of follow-up manpower, the difficulty of rescuing Kushina will be greatly increased.

After all, Jiu Xinnai is still in the hands of the enemy. If the other party sees that the situation is not good, it is very likely that they will directly tear up the ticket.

The ninjas in other villages may still be able to negotiate, but those barbarians in Yin Yin must be able to do such a thing.

So the best way is to sneak attack and save Kushina first, and then make plans.

However, if they join them, the difficulty of sneak attack will be greatly increased.

And this is why the third generation let him act in his own right.

"It's a little troublesome now."

Xia Yan was thinking in his heart.

I thought I was just a support player, but I didn't expect to be forced to carry.

It's just that the enemy is very likely to have the perception ninja that he is least good at dealing with, and it is difficult to find opportunities for sneak attacks.

Do you want to hope that Minato will catch up and start a rescue together?

While Xia Yan was analyzing various plans, his bracelet suddenly trembled.

"!"

Xia Yan's heart sank.

After all, this means that Kushina sent another message...

--------------

Xia Yan opened the scroll interface and looked at the message solemnly.

A chakrabor communicator was integrated into his rocket backpack, so he could receive Kushina's message from a long distance.

But he had already told Kushina before, not to communicate casually without important matters, so as not to be noticed by the perception ninja who may exist on the other side.

Although Kushina is usually not very popular, she is not a girl who does not know the importance.

So this also means that she must have something important to inform Xia Yan before she sends this message.

Could it be that he wanted to inform him that the enemy had already joined the support force?

Xia Yan stretched out his finger and gently clicked on the message.

Then he opened his eyes wide and looked at the content displayed on the interface:
【Are you there? 】

Suddenly, Xia Yan felt his blood pressure go up.

He has to take it back, this guy Kushina is an idiot.

Risking your life just to say "Are you there?"?
Just when Xia Yan was about to reprimand Kushina for his behavior, Kushina sent another message, making him stop immediately.

[Red Comet: Although it's quite far away from Konoha, I know Xia Yan, you must have a way to receive my message.

By the way, you don't have to worry.Although as you said, the leader of these people is a sentient ninja, but his sentient ninjutsu cannot be used continuously, so I will send you a message while taking advantage of the interval!Haha, how about it, I am smart!

This is the 1322nd time I have sent a letter, please reply if you receive it! ! 】

this idiot...

Xia Yan looked at the words on the scroll, and it was easy to imagine that Kushina was about to cry and pretended to be cheerful in his mind.

It seems that the other party's perception of the start and end of ninjutsu has obvious movements, which makes Kushina aware of the law.

And just now he has narrowed the distance to a certain extent, and finally entered the range of information reception.

But he didn't reply right away, but continued to wait for Kushina's message.

After all, the Chakrapo when he sent the message may also be noticed by the perception ninja.

Only by sending it immediately after receiving Kushina's message can the risk of being noticed be minimized.

So in the following time, Xia Yan felt that every second was very long.

Fortunately, not long after, he received another message from Kushina.

[Red Comet: Are you there? 】

[White Devil: I am here. 】

Xia Yan sent a message in an instant, and then quickly sent out a series of entered text:
[White Devil: Kushina, you have to be careful not to be too excited. First, tell me the number of enemies, their appearance, and the duration and cooldown time of the perception ninjutsu. 】

After a while, Kushina sent another message.

[Red Comet: Woohoo, Xia Yan, I knew you would come...

By the way, there is still business, let me see...]

According to the information provided by Kushina, Xia Yan compared the ninjas in the Yunyin mission, and soon knew the identities of these three people.

The upper ninja Yawai and two middle ninjas.

The perception ninjutsu mastered by Yawai will be performed every three to five minutes, and will stop after a few seconds, probably to save Chakra.

Although the scope cannot be determined, Xia Yan knows that ninjas who can perceive in a large area are precious existences in ninja villages other than Konoha, and it is impossible to send them to carry out this kind of peace talks.

So three to five minutes should be enough for Xia Yan who has a rocket backpack.

Still, more information needs to be gathered.

So Xia Yan sent another message to Jiu Xinna while hurrying.

[White Demon: Tell me what they said. 】

……

After another period of time, on the grassland not far from the Forest of Fire Nation.

"Everyone hold on, we will soon arrive at the meeting point with the support troops!"

Among the three figures moving at high speed, Yawai was pumping up two tired-faced subordinates.

After they came out of Konoha, they had been running for nearly two hours, and even Kushina, who was carried on his shoulders, was sore all over, let alone them.

The subordinate who was carrying Kushina said helplessly:

"Captain, I don't think anyone is chasing us at all, so why not slow down a bit."

"After all, Captain, you set the meeting place in the country of grass, let us run at full speed for so long, and use sensory ninjutsu to check the surrounding situation every few minutes. There is no chance to take advantage of it."

As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Kushina with a smile, "Maybe Konoha hasn't found out that she's missing until now."

"You are talking nonsense, everyone must have rushed to save me, and you will know how beautiful it is!" Kushina said angrily.

The Yunyin ninja sneered and said, "You should pray that we are not caught up, otherwise..."

Yawai stopped the other party from speaking with his eyes, and then pointed out:

"Don't be careless. Don't forget that her information was provided to us by people inside Konoha. Who knows what conspiracy the other party has."

"That's why I put the meeting place in the country of grass, so as not to be ambushed by the other party."

Seeing that Kushina's eyes were blank, as if he had been greatly shocked, Yavai secretly smiled inwardly.

Then he estimated that the time was about the same, and raised his right hand again, preparing to make seals to sense the surrounding situation.

Seeing this, Kushina's pupils shrank slightly, and suddenly said:

"You said someone betrayed my information, what evidence do you have?"

Yavai put down his hands when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, how do you think we escaped from Anbu's surveillance and Konoha's barrier?"

"Little girl, Konoha is not as beautiful as you imagined."

"When you come to Yunyin, you will know that we are the real lighthouse in the ninja world!"

Seeing Kushina's unbelievable look, Yavai shrugged and raised his right hand again.

However, a sudden change occurred at this time!
click!
Yawai, who was walking in the front, heard a familiar voice from under his feet, and shouted in his heart that something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, they saw detonating symbols buried in the ground pulled up by steel wires and started to activate at the same time...

The eyes of the three of them were all shattered, and foul language exploded in their hearts.

Who the hell is so devoid of public morality, set up a detonator trap here and forgot to recycle it!
Occasionally, they heard rumors of someone falling into a wild trap by mistake, but they didn't expect it to happen to them.

This is because sometimes the trap is set but not triggered by the enemy, and the person who set the trap has no chance to recover it, which will cause this situation.

Since this kind of trap is very troublesome to set up, and their walking routes are completely random, they didn't feel that this trap was aimed at them for a while.

"Disperse!"

Yawai gave an order, and the three of them moved away from the center of the explosion in the shortest distance, and the originally tight formation also dispersed.

boom!
A violent roar exploded on the grassland!
The flames and thick smoke blocked the sight of the three of them for a while.

The subordinate who was carrying Jiu Xinnai also leaped out of the range of the explosion immediately.

Just when he was about to join his teammates immediately, he heard Jiu Xinnai suddenly groan in pain, which made him turn his head subconsciously.

Oops!

I saw a large piece of sharp metal fragment stuck in Kushina's back, and the blood quickly stained a large piece of clothes red.

The ninja quickly and carefully put Kushina down, ready to give her first aid.

However, when he reached out to touch the metal fragment, he found nothing...

Pfft!

A splatter of blood!
At the moment when he was stunned, a kunai cut his throat.

The ninja sat down on the ground covering his throat with his hands, and swallowed his last breath amidst infinite doubts and incomprehensions.

A white-haired young man got out from the ground beside him, and the Kunai in his hand was still dripping blood.

As for Kushina, who seemed to have been seriously injured and unconscious, the wound on her back suddenly disappeared.

When she heard the sound, she immediately turned her head to look, and when she saw that it was Xia Yan, her face burst into infinite joy.

But soon she felt inexplicably sour again, she began to poke her mouth, and said in a grievance with a crying voice:
"Xia Yan, I..."

"Shh!"

Xia Yan raised his fingers with a smile on his lips and hissed, interrupting Jiu Xinnai's words.

Then he didn't even have the time to untie Jiu Xinnai, so he picked her up in the posture of a princess, and ran away quietly...

Less than a few seconds later, two black shadows rushed over directly from the flames.

It's a pity that the only thing left in place is the body of that subordinate.

"Subordinates—!!!"

Yawai's eyes were full of tears, his forehead was full of veins, and his fists were clenched.

And the other subordinate also looked sad.

"It seems that we are still careless, and we were deceived by that illusion!"

He suppressed his anger, then raised his right hand and closed his eyes to perceive.

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes, looked in the direction of the forest and said coldly:

"They left from the ground, and we haven't run far, we still have a chance!"

"Chase!"
