Chapter:34

"Master, there is a post house in front of you. Let's go and have a rest."

A Shimura jounin who was leading the horse pointed towards the small post house on the right side of the road above. Hanging on the eaves, a small flag with "post" printed on it was fluttering in the wind.

Shimura looked up, nodded, waved to everyone and said, "Everyone go to the post house to take a rest first."

Soon, twenty jounin from the two clans, plus two servants disguised as traders, all sat in the inn.

Sarutobi Domoto greeted: "Boss, bring some water and some food."

The Warring States Period had not yet developed anything similar to the compressed biscuits after the Bingliang Pills. Ninjas on missions usually carried dry food with them, which did not taste very good.

"Okay, okay, wait a minute."

An old voice came from the back door of the post house.

Soon, the back door opened, and a gray-haired old man with a stooped figure and plain clothes walked out from behind the door, with plain tea and meatballs on the tray in his hand.

"Master Tensho, if we successfully capture Uchiha and Hagoromo this time, how much territory can we get?"

A Shimura jounin picked up the meatball and put it in his mouth, and asked excitedly at the same time.

Shimurari glared at him, "Talk too much!"

How could such a thing be said in public?

The jounin Shimura who was glared at wanted to say, "I'm not afraid of people eavesdropping in this wilderness," but when he saw Shimura's vicious eyes, he still kept his mouth shut.

However, neither of the two tribes noticed that the old man who heard their conversation and turned around to prepare the meatballs had a flash of red light with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Come on, here are the meatballs and tea."

The old man brought another plate of tea and meatball skewers.

"Thanks."

Sarutobi Domoto stretched out his hand and was about to pick it up.

The moment his hands touched the tray, unexpectedly, the old man suddenly flipped his hands and lifted the tray into the air. The two hands that were originally hidden under the tray were actually holding kunai!

"Varied...?!"

Sarutobi Domoto's face was shocked. Years of combat experience made his body violently retreat before his mind could react.

However, the old man rushed forward quickly, and the kunai he held in both hands made two cuts on both sides of his shoulders.

"Do it!!"

Masashige Hagoromo, who was hiding in the dark, let out a low groan.

Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!

Over time, dozens of black shadows rushed from the woods to a post house.

Shimura Tensho and many jounin from both clans reacted instantly and put their hands into their ninja tool bags, "Enemy attack!"

In just a moment, shurikens and kunai all over the sky collided in mid-air.

After the sparks colliding with each other, the two sides also entered a confrontation in an instant.

"Hagoromo Masashige!"

Shimura Tensho couldn't help but look shocked when he saw the enemy leader.

Why does it appear here?

"Shimura Tensho, the second-ranking figure in the Shimura clan after the clan leader Shimura Keizo."

As he spoke, he glanced at Sarutobi Domoto, who had just been carelessly attacked, "There is also a high-ranking figure in the Sarutobi clan, Sarutobi Domoto..."

Masashige Hagoromo held the sword tightly in his hand and licked the corner of his mouth bloodthirstyly, "The Sarutobi Shimura clan is so generous that they couldn't help but send out as many as twenty Jonin. The leaders are the senior leaders of the two clans. It seems that you though It is inevitable to win our Clan."

"But unfortunately, you are all going to die here today, losing twenty jounin in one breath. Even Sarutobi Shimura can't bear this loss, right? Hahahahaha!"

Speaking of the latter part, Hagoromo Masashige couldn't help laughing.

This time, not only did the clan leader personally take action, but he also dispatched almost all the jounin in the family.

Shimura Tensho was also sweating coldly. After all, the opponent was a Kage-level opponent.

"Damn it, was the information leaked? How could it be..."

A Shimura Jonin leaned behind Shimura Tensho,wary of the Hagoromo clan that surrounded them, "Tensho-sama, what should we do? The number of enemies exceeds ours by too many."

Shimura Tensho's mind was working rapidly, and he said after two seconds: "Everyone is preparing to retreat, and we must bring the news back to the clan leader and others."

"Did you run away?!"

Hagoromo Masashige let out a loud shout and formed a seal with his own hands, "Earth Release-Earth Release Great River!"

The majestic chakra exploded, and the soil on the ground suddenly rose, forming mud in the middle, and hit Shimura Ri and others like a tsunami.

"Wind Release Vacuum Continuous Waves!"

Shimura fought back with a seal, and the wind blade that finally erupted cut the mud into several sections in one breath, then jumped up, passed through the gap and jumped into the air.

"Fight everyone and look for an opportunity to retreat!"

Masashige Hagoromo also jumped up without showing any signs of weakness. With a ping-pong sound, the two sabers collided together, causing fireworks to burst out.

Shimura Tensho's arms felt slightly numb. After the two of them landed at the same time, Hagoromo Masashige raised his hand with a ferocious smile and pointed the tip of his knife at Shimura Tensho, "Don't even think about leaving. Don't let me say it a third time. All of you have to do it today." Die here."

"Hagororomo Ninja Sword Technique: Heavenly Blade!"

"Wind Release February Wind!"

At the same moment, Shimura Tensho formed a seal with one hand, spit out the wind escape from his mouth and attached it to his blade.

The two of them turned into afterimages that could not be caught by the naked eye at the same time, and they fought with several swords in mid-air.

On the other side of the battlefield, the Hagoromo clan, whose number was twice that of the opponent, fought against Sarutobi Shimura.

Both sides were composed of jounin teams, and the fighting scene was extremely fierce.

But after a short battle, the disadvantages became apparent.

Sarutobi Shimura is not optimistic!

They were smaller in number, suffered sneak attacks, and had weaker morale than their opponents.

The Hagoromo side was led by the clan leader, and their morale soared.

The enemy is trying to unite the four tribes and attack his own rats.

For a moment, his eyes turned red, and he just wanted to kill the other person.

Although Sarutobi Domoto was successfully attacked by a Hagoromo ninja who used transformation techniques to disguise himself as an old man, the wound was not deep, and he fought against Hagoromo Naoyasu, the second-in-command of the Hagoromo clan.

"Why do you know that we are united with the four tribes? And why do you know our transportation route?"

Amid the flash of swords and shadows, Sarutobi Domoto couldn't help but ask Hagoromo Netsuka.

All of this was a top-secret matter, and even he only knew about it the day before yesterday.

Even if Hagoromo's people could investigate it, how could they do it so quickly?

Unless they are invisible...

"If you want to blame, blame your own people!"

Hagoromo Netsuka sneered.

Who told someone in your family to stage a coup?

The people in Hagoromo have completely determined that "Kaido" is an opponent of Sarutobi Koga and Shimura Keizo. In order to initiate a coup in the clan and seize power, they united with Hagoromo.

One of our own?

When Sarutobi Domoto heard this, his heart trembled.

Could it be that there is a traitor within the family?

Then who is it?

The only people who knew about this were the ninjas within the family who were above the jounin level.

Boom!!

There was another collision of swords. Sarutobi Domoto suddenly retreated a dozen meters away, turned his back to Shimura Tensho, and whispered: "We will cover you with all our strength, find a way to escape, and find reinforcements from the four tribes, which is closer."
