21 Attack

The long dense forest under the dark sky mattered with stars and a full moon, was somewhat illuminated by the moonlight, still most of it covered in darkness.

In the very dense forest was a huge uneven wall, water from top of the wall falling into the river below, the moon sparkling the water beautifully.

Behind the waterfall surprisingly was a huge entrance to a dark cave.

Clink!

Deep inside the cave, wood was burning as the fire illuminated the dark cave somewhat, revealing everyone inside the cave.

Around the burning wood sat two figures, one of them had a hidden stone village's headband coiled around his neck, a horizontal line carved on the headband.

The other figure was quite sturdy and tall, a burnt mark on his forehead, he wore a black armor, both of them holding a cooked peace of meat, eating relishly.

At some distance from them were 6 people, 3 women and 3 children, lying next to the cave wall, all of them had weak looks.

Though the women had eyes full of shock and hatred on the man with a burn mark on his forehead.

"The deadline is gonna end tomorrow afternoon, I'm expecting some action tonight, if not then tomorrow morning at most!"

Said the rogue shinobi of stone village while gawning on the meat in his hand, a playful look in his black eyes.

"Don't worry, the old man would try his best to get his son back, I just hope our plan works"

Responded the man with a burn mark, deep down in his eyes a desire to obtain something.

"You just need to act the way I told you, the minimum worth of the head of a jonin belonging to great five villages is 5 million ryo"

"And if we are able to kill someone famous, tens of millions will be raking in, with that amount I'll be able to keep more subordinates"

"Naturally I'll keep my promise and make you my subordinate as well"

The eyes of the man with a burn mark gleamed even more with desire at his assurance again.

Booom!!!!!

At this moment, an explosion at most hundreds of meters away from the cave behind the waterfall sounded, startling both of them.

Both of them quickly walked out of the cave, spotting the burning forest at distance, the flames roaring towards the dark sky.

"Someone walked into the trap, I guess the much awaited one's are here, I just hope my subordinate's are unable to handle them, the stronger, the better!"

Said the rogue shinobi with excitement in his tone, it was finally the time to reap the benefits of his careful planning.

"Ok, now go inside and act according to the plan!"

Though quickly the rogue shinobi controlled his excitement and gave the other man a quick order, handing him a small tube with some green liquid in it.

A little while ago,

Swish! Swish!

The ninja dog at high speed jumped from tree to tree, rushing forward as Danzo and others followed behind.

"Glin!!"

"Watch Out!!!"

But at this moment, a change suddenly occurred as the moonlight suddenly reflected on something, Danzo and Naoki shouting at the same time.

Xu!!! Xu!!!

Everyone including the ninja dog got alert and landed on the ground from the tree, the same moment from every direction numerous shurikens making there way towards them.

Duck!!!

Shouted Danzo as everyone immediately lowered themselves, Naoki putting the old man down as well.

Wind Style!!! Wind Barrage!!!!

Danzo's hand turned into afterimages as in less then a second he completed all the hand signs, his chest puffing up as next moment he spun, huge gust of winds from his mouth rushing in every direction.

Boom!!! Boom!!!

The wind swept over the head of Naoki and others, blasting all the shurikens away, the surrounding trees pulled out of the ground due to attack as well.

"Wham!!!"

But just when Sayuri and Shinku thought the attack was over, there eyes brightened suddenly as from the front a massive sea of flames rushing towards them, the heat out of the charts.

"It's clearly an ambush, they were expecting us to arrive!!"

Said Sayuri in a hurry, her shocked eyes on the approaching sea of flames, never has she seen such a sight in her life.

The old man was the most shocked, still at his spot, first time in his long life seeing such a wonderful scene.

"Hmph!!"

Wind Style! Great Wind Cut!!!

Danzo though didn't seem scared at the approaching attack, snorting and making hand signs again, jumping up after the last sign, a long sharp wind gust roaring out of his mouth.

Zoom!!!

The wind like butter cut through the flames, dividing them into two as the divided flames passed by them from both sides, Naoki and others safe in the gap created in the middle.
