Chapter 7: Cloud Village Kidnapping Incident [Part 2]

"Speed up, we must bring the target back before the people of Konoha find out!"

The leader of the Cloud Village mission, who carried a cloth bag on his back, said in a low voice. His footsteps quickened, and once the Hyuga clan discovered that their young lady was missing, they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.

"Yes..."

The three subordinates responded quickly and followed the leader's pace. They were prepared to sacrifice themselves when they received this mission, but if they could survive, who would want to die in vain?

They were getting closer and closer! The Konoha barrier was within sight, and as soon as they stepped out of it, Konoha would not be able to catch up to them.

Just as Saburo Izumi, the leader, was fantasizing about completing his mission and bringing the Hyuga clan's young lady back to the Cloud Village, receiving the admiration of the villagers and the praise of the Raikage, a voice made him feel like he was in an ice cave.

"I say, if it's convenient, could you please put the person down? Such a cute little girl was actually stuffed in a bag by you. You really don't know how to cherish beauty!"

Sakura stood on the magic sword with her feet, holding an oil-paper umbrella in her left hand, and looked expressionlessly at the tightly wrapped people. She breathed a sigh of relief when she sensed that Hinata Hyuga, who was behind Saburo, was only unconscious.

"It's just a little kid..."

Saburo looked carefully and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought of how he was scared just now and couldn't help but feel a surge of killing intent.

"It's a pity, such a cute little kid shouldn't be wandering around at night. I really don't have the heart to kill you, but since you've seen us, we have no choice but to kill you..."

Afraid of being discovered and delayed, Saburo threw the bag he was carrying behind him to his subordinates and took out a shuriken from his ninja tool bag. He moved quickly and charged towards Sakura like lightning.

As an experienced Jonin, Saburo naturally had no sympathy for a little kid. He had killed many children before, so killing one more would not add any psychological pressure.

"Troublesome..."

Facing Saburo's charge, Sakura sighed slightly. With a thought, the magic sword under her feet flew straight towards Saburo, but her goal was not to fight him head-on, but to rescue Hinata first.

"Oh, a bloodline limit that can fly? Or a bloodline limit that can control metal? But it doesn't matter, die..."

Saburo's eyes were full of cruelty. The thought of Sakura dying in his hands made him feel a strange sense of satisfaction.

At the moment when the two were about to make contact, a blue light suddenly appeared in Sakura's eyes, and the light disappeared in an instant. No one noticed it, but Saburo's face was full of surprise.

"Did she dodge it?!"

The shuriken passed through Sakura's body, but Saburo's years of fighting experience told him that it was not a real entity, but rather a phantom that did not really exist.

"Hurry up and take the target away, her goal is to save people..."

Seeing Sakura flying towards him on the magic sword, Saburo instantly understood her plan. He quickly shouted at his three subordinates and turned around to charge towards Sakura again. The shuriken on his hand was now covered with a layer of lightning chakra. After what happened just now, he no longer underestimated Sakura.

The three subordinates who came with Saburo Izumi were also Chunin. Upon hearing Saburo's words, they quickly reacted. One of them grabbed the bag and was about to run away, while the other two stayed behind to prepare to kill Sakura with Saburo. They couldn't let their guard down against any enemy. This was something they learned when they first left the academy. Even if the opponent was a little girl, they couldn't underestimate her. This was a lesson learned from the blood of countless predecessors who died on the battlefield of the ninja world war.

"You guys are really troublesome..."

Seeing the three people forming a triangle around her, Sakura frowned. If they were delayed, Hinata would probably be taken away. Ninja were very fast, and this was the edge of Konoha. In just a short while, the person carrying Hinata could run out of the range of the barrier.

"However, your plan is missing one thing..."

Sakura suddenly smiled. Under the moonlight, her pink hair looked particularly dazzling. "That is, I can fly!"

When Sakura said this, Saburo and his companions were stunned. Ninja could indeed do many things that seemed impossible to ordinary people, but as for flying, except for the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Ohnoki, and the Kazekage of Sunagakure, no one in the ninja world had ever heard of anyone who could fly.

Despair. These two words perfectly described Saburo and his companions' mood. It was like on a battlefield where everyone was using swords to fight each other, and suddenly one side threw down their sword, picked up a laser cannon, and aimed it at the enemy. Faced with such cheating behavior, besides despair, there was probably only cursing in their hearts.

"Damn it, take the target and leave Konoha at full speed. As long as we run out of the barrier, we win..."

Saburo turned his head and shouted. The key now was whether his subordinates could take the target and run outside the barrier in time. As long as they met up with the people outside, their mission would be completed.

"Still want to run? Do you think I can only fly?!"

Sakura raised her eyebrows, holding the umbrella in her left hand and reaching out to the Cloud Village ninja who was running away with her right hand. A red light flashed in her pupils.

"Reality..."

The ground under the feet of the Cloud Village Chunin trembled, and a layer of rock suddenly emerged from the ground, firmly fixing the feet of the Cloud Village Chunin to the ground in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it, who is this guy?"

Saburo and his companions quickly ran over and stood with the Chunin. Their eyes were full of anger. The plan was ruined, and Konoha probably already knew that the Hyuga clan's young lady was missing!

"Surrender the person, and I can spare your life. Otherwise, you will all stay here!"

Sakura stood in front of them again. There was no emotional fluctuation in her emerald green pupils, but it was precisely this emotionless gaze that made Saburo and his companions feel uneasy.

"Damn it, since the plan has failed, let's execute Plan B..."

Saburo's eyes narrowed, and there was already commotion in Konoha behind him. Obviously, their actions had been discovered. With Sakura blocking them, they couldn't get rid of her in a short time. The eyes of Saburo and his companions showed a resolute expression. Saburo pulled out a shuriken and stabbed it towards the bag containing Hinata.

The so-called Plan B was specially designed for this situation. Once the mission failed and they couldn't take the target away, they would kill the target directly. Killing the young lady of the Hyuga clan would also cause trouble for Konoha.

"Damn it, you're looking for death! Bagua - Empty Palm..."
