Before Lanfeng could react, Senju Ai suddenly took out a kunai from his arms.
At the same time, the windows of the shed shattered!
Several shurikens flew straight towards the mother and son!
After several horizontal blocks, the metal collided and clanged. Qianshou Ai blocked all the shurikens and stood up to protect Lanfeng steadily behind her.
Unlike Tsunade who possesses powerful abilities, Senju Ai is just an ordinary Chunin in Konoha, but she could easily deal with the shuriken thrown from outside the house just now.
"Who is it!" Qianshou Ai stared out the window and shouted loudly.
"Why, isn't this woman a civilian? The intelligence didn't say there would be a fight." A deep voice came from outside the house.
Immediately afterwards, three ninjas filed into the shed. Although their faces were covered and they wore cloaks, their ferocious auras could still be seen.
"If you only look at intelligence when doing a mission, you won't have enough lives!" A ninja said impatiently, "This woman is Tsunade's cousin. Even if she is not a combatant, she can't be a civilian. "
"Are you the ninjas from the village?!" Senju Ai instantly detected a loophole in the other party's words.
People from other villages could not possibly know about her relationship with Tsunade.
However, the other party obviously had no intention of speaking again, and just quickly formed seals!
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
Instantly, a huge, blazing fireball burst out of the jonin's mouth, and the flames instantly engulfed the entire shed.
The three jonin retreated outside the house and looked at the flames rising into the sky, thinking that they had definitely succeeded this time.
But when he turned around, he saw Qianshou Ai lying face down on the side of the road, tightly protecting Lan Feng under her.
"Is it a substitution technique?" Seeing this scene, a ninja took out a shuriken and threw it at the mother and son without hesitation.
At the critical moment, Qianshou Ai gritted her teeth, hugged Lanfeng and rolled backwards!
Several shurikens pierced into the ground along the backs of the mother and son. They were only a few millimeters away and would have died on the spot.
"Great Fireball Jutsu? Were you sent by the Uchiha clan?!" Senju Ai stood up with difficulty, still protecting Lanfeng behind her.
"No need to waste time talking to her!"
"The mission comes first, kill them immediately!"
The senior ninja assassin at the side gave orders, and the three ninjas immediately began to form hand seals, ready to put an end to Senju Ai once and for all.
At this moment, a string of kunai flew out from the bushes beside the road and headed straight towards the three assassins, forcing them to dodge in the air.
"Don't involve the entire Konoha in your Uchiha family's internal strife." A cold voice came.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw an ANBU Jonin walk out from the bushes and stand in front of Senju Ai and her son.
"It's the Anbu." The Jonin assassin recognized the man and raised his hand to signal the other two not to act rashly.
"Lord Hokage should have only arranged for you to monitor this woman and her bastard son, and did not ask you to be their bodyguard!" An assassin made a tentative statement.
But this did not intimidate the ANBU jonin, he drew his saber and took a stance, retorting coldly, "There should be a limit to family disputes."
"Your act of openly assassinating Tsunade-sama's relatives has changed the nature of the matter!"
The three assassins looked at each other, and quickly reached a tacit understanding. They took out summoning scrolls from their waist bags and summoned Fuma Shuriken.
"We Uchiha don't have scum like them!" The jonin assassin waved the wind shuriken, and the whistling wind blew up the dust on the ground.
"Stop talking nonsense! We have already fought with the Anbu directly under the Hokage. Now that we have broken off relations, we must complete the mission at all costs!" The other assassin was also ready to fight to the death.
In an instant, the four men fought each other, and the sounds of swords clashing could be heard one after another.
Lanfeng was behind Senju Ai, watching the assassins sent by Uchiha fighting with the Anbu sent by Sarutobi Hiruzen to monitor them.
Looking at the house that had been engulfed by fire, my heart was filled with despair and resentment.
"Let's go now..." Qianshou Ai stood up shakily, and it seemed that just walking was difficult.
But she still gritted her teeth, grabbed Lan Feng's wrist, and continued to use the teleportation technique regardless of the consequences.
Dark clouds blocked the moon, and the entire Konoha Village was immersed in dark night.
Lan Feng didn't know how long he had been running while being dragged by his mother. He just felt that his physical strength had been exhausted and all the bones in his body were sore.
His already frail body was supported by just one breath.
This was the first time in his life that he left the Uchiha base, but he didn't even bother to look at the scenery along the way.
Running, escaping, as if the road ahead has no end.
Until Qianshou Ai suddenly stumbled without any warning, fell forward to the ground, and dragged Lanfeng with her, who also fell heavily.
After struggling to get up, Lan Fengze realized that his mother had unknowingly dragged him into the Death Forest outside Konoha.
After running a few hundred meters ahead, there is a cliff that separates the village from the outside world. The mother who was running all the way just a moment ago is now lying motionless on the ground.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Lan Feng ignored the burning pain all over his body and hurriedly helped his mother up and leaned against his body.
Inadvertently, Lan Feng's hand touched his mother's abdomen and felt a warmth.
When he looked closely, his pupils immediately contracted, and he saw a kunai stuck in his mother's abdomen, with blood gushing out.
It turned out that not all the kunai and shurikens thrown from the window by the three Uchiha assassins at the beginning were blocked.
One of the swords pierced his mother's liver right below her abdomen. His mother was supporting her body entirely with the will to save him.
But I have only been able to hold on until now, and it seems that I have reached my limit.
"Mother, open your eyes, look at me, don't sleep..." Lan Feng was so anxious that tears flowed like a spring. He called his mother and shook her body, but there was no response at all.
Time seemed to have stopped. With Lan Feng's heart-wrenching cries and the constant flow of blood, the shadow of death became increasingly heavy.
Fear, timidity, the forest of death looks particularly eerie and terrifying under the cover of night.
But at this moment, Lan Feng didn't care about being afraid at all and just hugged his mother and cried bitterly.
I don't know how long it took before Qianshou Ai's eyelids moved slightly and her pale lips slowly opened.
"Lan Feng... run away... run away from here... never... come back again..."
Seeing his mother open her eyes, Lan Feng stopped crying, wiped his tears and choked up, saying: "Let's go together, mother, I can't leave you alone to escape, you stand up, I'll help you walk..."
Qian Shou Ai slowly raised her arm and gently stroked her son's face.
Wiping away the tears from her son's eyes, she forced herself to put on a loving smile and said, "Silly boy, I can't do it anymore. We can't both die here..."
"You have to be strong. You have to escape from here with your mother and live well..."
