Chapter 71
At this moment.
Right before the person threw his kunai, Feng's figure on the other side of the river suddenly disappeared.
"Heh!".
Feng's figure crossed the river in the blink of an eye and appeared right behind that person. The Sword of Kusanagi in Feng's hand was already out of its scabbard and has now penetrated at the chest of that person!
"Compared to you, your boss is a really smart individual."
Feng shook his head and pulled out the sword. Blood continued dripping on the ground from the tip of the blade until no more traces of blood were left.
It seems that this is indeed the real Sword of Kusanagi, and looking at its appearance, it should be the one wielded by Uchiha Sasuke in the original story.
"Urgh..."
The ninja whose chest was pierced by Feng's sword still had a trace of shock on his face as he raised his hands and touched his chest, just to witness his hand being soaked in his own blood, seeing this, his eyes showed fear and terror. But his strength quickly faded away and his body flopped on the ground.
The colleagues beside him were stunned when they saw this scene, and their gazes directed at Feng changed to that of fear..
"Uhm… Little bro, there may be some kind of misunderstanding."
"Is this kid... a Jonin?!"
That kind of speed is completely incomparable to a Chunin, even if they compared their boss against Feng, he would not be a match against him! It is undoubtedly that the kid in front of them has the power of a Jonin, and not those Jonin's who came from small villages, but from one of the Great Ninja Villages!
After making this judgment, the greed that was burning in their hearts suddenly extinguished like someone poured cold water in them. And without the slightest hesitation, they fled in panic.
A ninja from one of the five Great Villages!
This is definitely someone that they couldn't handle!
But could they really escape? Feng would never let someone who directed their killing intent towards him go. While holding the Sword of Kusanagi, his figure shuttled past the group of people in an instant.
Swish! Swish!
Afterimages can be seen passing by everyone.
Fear and horror was plastered on everyone's faces as they fell to the ground one by one. The riverbank was dyed by blood the next second as it continued to flow towards the river.
"A bunch of greedy morons."
The leader who had already fled far away, noticed the commotion that happened behind him and he couldn't help but curse.
I knew it!
I knew that it might turn into a disaster!
An unknown individual popping up from nowhere in front of them, the fact that he caught up to them even though they left at the first possible moment. His attitude against them even showed how calm he is and directly asked for the Sword of Kusanagi. There were only two reasons why, it was either he had a large number of comrades hiding in the vicinity, or he was confident in his own strength!
Although he himself doesn't want to give up the sword, he has no choice but to surrender it to the other party, because his life was obviously more important than any kind of weapon.
Whoosh! Whoosh! !
After seeing Feng kill his subordinates in the blink of an eye, the leader further stimulated the chakra in his body to increase his speed and continued to run away.
Feng looked at the leader running away with his head tilted, he was making up his mind if he should chase and kill him.
If he let him go, it might be possible that he would leak the information about the Sword of Kusanagi in Feng's hands. However, with Feng's current strength, he was no longer afraid of anyone coveting the sword.
But at this moment.
While Feng was still in a dilemma, he was suddenly stunned.
Because the ninja leader who was now far away suddenly stopped in the middle of the forest.
Immediately after.
Feng saw the leader turn in a different direction and tried his best to run as fast as he could, even faster when he saw him! It seemed that he saw something terrifying and was trying his best to avoid it, but in the next second, different types of weapons and techniques came flying out towards the leader!
The leader tried his best to avoid the incoming attacks, but there were just too many of them and at the next second, he was still swallowed by the barrage of techniques.
"That's..."
Feng narrowed his eyes.
It seemed that even though this guy was overly cautious, he still had bad luck.
The next moment.
Feng saw large numbers of human figures exiting the forest, and at a glance, he estimates that there are at least a hundred people!
Even though there's still a huge distance between them, Feng could see the outfit the troops were wearing. They weren't from Hidden Rock or even Hidden Rain...they're from Hidden Sand!
"How could Hidden Sand troops appear here?"
Looking at the army of Hidden Sand coming out of the forest, Feng's thoughts flashed quickly.
This is the northeastern border from Hidden Rain Village. It is far from the border of Land of Wind and Land of Fire. On the contrary, the Land of Earth is the closest here.
An army from Hidden Sand Village would mean that they most likely made a huge detour.
Feng wasn't afraid even as he saw this army of hundred ninjas, it's just that he doesn't have a reason to fight them here. It was already plenty enough that he discovered the existence of this hidden threat and inform Hidden Leaf.
However,
Right as Feng was about to retreat, a batch of ninjas from the Hidden Sand army was heading towards his direction.
"Somebody's at three o'clock!"
One of the sensory ninja's closest to Feng's position noticed his presence and immediately notified the whole army.
The leader of the Hidden Sand army was an upper Jonin named Yanagi Kin "Hmm?... Team 6 and 7, go and pincer him from both sides, do not let him escape!"
"Roger!"
Both teams responded firmly.
Immediately, several ninjas rushed towards Feng immediately.
One of the leading ninjas was a woman, who was staring intently at Feng.
She didn't know which village Feng came from or who he was, but now that he discovered their existence, it wasn't possible for them to let him escape.
Their purpose this time is to take Hidden Leaf by surprise as they attack them from the flank, disrupting any form of logistics, or ambushing the wounded and medical personnel.
This was the plan from one of their high ranking officers. That is why they didn't hesitate even though they spent nearly ten days just for this sort of detour just to infiltrate and arrive here at Hidden Rain Village.
If this plan of theirs was successful, then Hidden Leaf would be caught off guard and it may majorly affect the outcome of the battle in the frontlines!
Therefore, any sign of their presence being discovered is not allowed to happen!
Whoosh! Whoosh!!
The two teams quickly chased Feng.
Feng put away his Sword of Kusanagi as he tried to escape while he used the corner of his eye to survey the ninjas who were chasing him from behind and vaguely understood something.
An entire army of Hidden Sand troops suddenly appeared in this kind of place. Their mission is most probably to infiltrate and assault Hidden Leaf's camp from behind and take us by surprise, so after they killed the leader who was already fleeing from Feng, when they discovered him they also planned to 'remove' him.
Seeing Feng retreating, the Hidden Sand's two teams did not intend to let it go, and continued to chase after him.
But at this moment...
"If you still continue to chase, you would give me no choice..."
Feng stopped as he stared coldly at the several figures behind him.
Feng didn't even bother using Hachimon to escape the 100-man Hidden Sand army. In his eyes, they are not qualified.
Although facing a hundred ninjas would indeed be troublesome, his opponents would vary, be it their speed, strength or techniques, as such, their formation would be completely disorganized and forming an encirclement against him in a short period of time would be impractical because before they even finish forming their formation, Feng would be capable of killing the majority of them.
So as long as he wasn't surrounded, let alone hundreds of ninjas, even thousands of them is of no threat to him!
