Chapter 248 Hiruko and Gari

After attacking the Amegakure's Shinobi, the wild team didn't leave, after all, the show had to be played with a whole set.

Because of that, Kanpū's group of four continued to travel towards the Land of Earth as Iwagakure's Shinobi, and deliberately left some traces along the way so that Amegakure's Shinobi could follow these traces to track them.

"It's almost there. We'll go ahead to the Land of Earth's border."

Kanpū has always had a strong desire to survive. Now that they are now walking on a tightrope, and there are also cliffs on both sides. If they make a mistake, Iwagakure's Shinobi and Amegakure's Shinobi may crushed them like a sandwich.

"Wait!"

Wild Dog suddenly waved his hand to signal the others to stop speaking. He frowns as he listened for a while, then looked towards Kanpū, "Husky, use Sensor Ninjutsu!"

Kanpū was startled: 'Could it be that Amegakure's has already Shinobi caught up with us?'

He hurriedly formed hand seal, and as the sense tentacles spread, Kanpū soon discovered that there are two human-shaped lines jumping around in front of him. They are also very clear, even more clearer than Wild Dog, who is a Tokubetsu Jōnin, beside him!

'They're Jōnin!'

"What did you find?" Peppa the Wild Boar couldn't help but asked when he saw Kanpū's face changed drastically.

"Ahead…" As soon as Kanpū opened his mouth, a series of rumbling explosions came from the front, which was as deafening as thunder!

"Hide!" Wild Dog ordered softly, and the four people flickered and disappeared in the next instant.

After a while, two figures galloped from the front one after the other.

"This is the end, you can't run away."

The figure who was chasing behind chuckled lightly and formed hand seals, "Katon: Dai Endan!" (Fire Release: Big Flame Bullet)

Whoosh!

A huge flame bullet with a radius of four or five meters, carrying a lava-shaped flame, roared, and exploded with a bang.

The orange-red air shockwave exploded, and the surrounding vegetation was destroyed.

"Damn it!!!"

Gari flickered to avoid the shockwave, staring at the Shinobi who is chasing him with an ugly expression, "Who are you?!"

Gari is a member of the Iwagakure's Explosion Corps. Recently, Tsuchikage ordered the Explosion Corps to open up the narrow border passages between the Land of Earth and the Land of Rain, so that it will be easier for Iwagakure's logistics to pass through in the future.

So, the Explosion Corps sent Gari and another member, but as soon as they arrived at the border, they were attacked by this despicable guy. His companion died on the spot, and even he was hunted down!

"I am Hiruko."

The one who chased Gari was Konoha's Missing-nin, Hiruko!

"Hiruko? Who?!"

Gari looked puzzled, as he didn't know Hiruko at all, 'Why did he hunt me down?'

'And this Hiruko didn't wear a forehead protector, God knows which village he is from!'

"You have never heard of my name?"

Hiruko stared at Gari indifferently, "Then, do you know Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru?"

"Konoha's Sannin? Of course I know them, but what does it have to do with you?" Gari delayed for time as he recovers his strength.

"You know Konoha Sannin, but you don't know me…"

Hiruko is feeling angry, inferior, and embarrassed. He grew up with Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru, but the three of them became Konoha's Sannin, and their names became famous in the Shinobi World that even ordinary persons have heard of their names, but Hiruko, hehe, who has heard of him?

'I am not convinced!'

'I am not reconciled!!'

'I reject mediocrity!!!'

There seemed to be raging flames burning in Hiruko's eyes, but his tone became more and more cold: "When you become a part of me, you will know who I am!"

"Bakuton: Jiraiken!" (Explosion Release: Landmine Fist)

With a flicker, Gari directly appeared in front of Hiruko, and a fist the size of a casserole pot slammed heavily on Hiruko's face.

Boom!!

In the violent explosions, Gari's fist that hit Hiruko's face exploded on the spot, and the violent air waves blew pride into Gari's eyes: "So who on earth are you? How can you compare yourself with Konoha's Sannin!"

"I am Hiruko."

Hiruko's voice suddenly came from behind Gari, "Blast!!"

Boom boom boom…

A series of explosions came from under Gari's feet, directly blasting him tens of meters away. After colliding with a few trees, his eyes rolled as he fainted.

Hiruko's eyes glowed as he looked at Gari, who is dozens of meters away, but instead of walking towards Gari, he turned his head to look behind him: "Come out, I have already noticed the Sensor Ninjutsu just now."

In the dark.

Kanpū's heart thumped, and he broke into a cold sweat. He immediately removed the Transparent Release.

This guy in front of him is not an unknown person, but a teammate of Konoha's Sannin. He grew up with them, and before he defected from Konoha, he was already a Jōnin. Later, he developed the Forbidden Technique, Chimera Technique, that allows him to swallow others' Kekkei Genkai!

If he takes interest in Kanpū's Transparent Release, what would Kanpū do?

"Hiruko, I didn't expect you to be hiding in the Land of Rain!"

Wild Dog sprang out from behind a tree, and the Iwagakure's disguise on him had changed back to Konoha's Anbu.

"Konoha's Anbu?"

Hiruko frowned: 'Did he come hunt me down? No, I am well hidden before, so how could Konoha's Anbu know that I am here? Even if they knew, they wouldn't send such a weak Shinobi to chase me down!'

Subsequently, Wild Cat and Peppa the Wild Boar also appeared with Konoha's Anbu uniform.

Seeing this, Kanpū was helpless, so he hurriedly changed the Iwagakure's disguise on his body, put on his wolf mask, and appeared behind the three.

Hiruko looked at the wild team, and suddenly smiled: "You came to the Land of Rain to carry out Anbu's mission, right? It's a shame that you found me."

"Hiruko, come back to Konoha with us!"

Wild Dog knows that Hiruko is very strong. Even if the four of them worked together, they can't beat Hiruko at all, so they can only put on airs at this moment, "For the Sannin's sake, Hokage-sama will not kill you!"

"Stop joking around, I finally left Konoha, how can I go back with you? Besides…Do you have the ability?"

Hiruko looked at them with disdain, "Try it if you can! But if you can't, I can only say sorry. In order to prevent my whereabouts from being leaked, I can only ask you to die here."

"Damn it!!!"

Wild Dog clenched his fists when he heard this.

Wild Cat and Peppa the Wild Boar also took out kunai in alert. Feeling the powerful aura coming from Hiruko's body, and all their muscles tensed.

While Wild Dog and Hiruko were talking, Kanpū, who was standing behind Wild Dog, was also thinking about how to escape, but when his gaze fell on Gari, who fainted on the ground and his life and death is unknown, his spirit suddenly shook!

Kanpū has seen the fight between Hiruko and this Iwagakure's Shinobi just now, especially the scene of that punch detonating!

'This Iwagakure's Shinobi…is the Explosion Release Shinobi, Gari?!'

Kanpū subconsciously threw a Collection Technique towards Gari.

As a result… the green light cluster in his mind did not move!

'!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ What's going on?!'

Kanpū's face under the mask showed dumbfounded expression.

'Why can't he be collected?'

'I obviously haven't used the Collection Technique today, so why can't I collect him?'

But suddenly, his brows wrinkled, his eyes fell on Hiruko, who was twenty meters away, and then he looked at the Gari, who is lying 70 to 80 meters behind Hiruko.

'Could it be… the distance is too far?'

Regarding the range of the Collection Technique, Kanpū tried to collect the Moon from the distance before, but naturally, there was no movement. After that, he didn't do this experiment again. He never expected that today, there would be an 'accident'!

As Kanpū looked at Hiruko, who had spoken cruel words, a thought flashed in his mind, and suddenly he said: "Hiruko, since you guessed that we came to carry out Anbu's mission in the Land of Rain, why don't you guess what mission it is!
