Naruto: The legend of Kiba

Chapter 133: Surrounded

"What's wrong with Banri?"

Morino Shinsuke scanned the group of ninjas. There were about six or seven of

them, and their strength seemed considerable. The strong man alone had enough

strength to stop several of them and even kill them.

He was also sure that these people

were definitely not the bandits—they had been replaced! It was all a

conspiracy!

But why chase us? Who is this group of people?

"What do you think?" the

strong man replied.

A slight anger rose in Morino's

heart but was soon suppressed. Banri must have encountered an accident. The Banri I

met was no longer Banri. These people must have used some means to impersonate

him. Another partner, sacrificed.

Morino frowned. However, now was

not the time to dwell on these thoughts.

Thinking of this, he whispered,

"Kiba, Taketo, and I will hold them back later. You take the opportunity

to escape. You must return to the village as quickly as possible and report the

situation. The information may have leaked."

Morino was worthy of being an

experienced ninja. He understood the current situation well. Banri, who was in charge

of intelligence work, encountered an accident. It was possible the village's

information had been leaked.

As for why he chose Kiba to escape

instead of his disciple Taketo or both, Morino had his reasons.

To hold these people back, it's definitely

impossible for me alone. Even with an elite Chunin like Shigeru Fujiki, I'm not

100% sure. The strong man on the opposite side has at least the strength of a

Jonin. The six men under him... No, seven of them are also good players, at

least Chunin. Given the superiority in numbers, we seem a bit weak.

Therefore, Morino decided to

include Taketo in the team to hold them back.

As for why he chose Kiba to

escape, it was because of Kiba's talent.

He had observed carefully along

the way. Kiba was outstanding in both tactics and ninjutsu, with superior

analysis and decision-making abilities. Although not fully formed, he had shown

considerable strength and potential. Moreover, at only seven years old, he had

a lot of plasticity, and his future achievements were limitless.

Kiba is one of the future hopes of the village and

may become a ninja stronger than myself and Minato. He must not let such a

promising individual die here!

Although he felt sorry for his

disciple, this was the best choice.

Hearing Morino Shinsuke's words,

Kiba, who was thinking, was stunned. He hadn't expected Morino Shinsuke to use

the lives of three people, including his own, to fight for a chance for Kiba to

escape.

In other words, the current situation is very bad

and urgent, and this group from Kumogakure is very strong! If the village's

information is at risk, this decision is indeed the best!

But can I accept it?

Kiba frowned, looking at the enemy

ahead.

At this time, upon hearing Morino

Shinsuke's words, Kiuchi Taketo was slightly astonished. After glancing at

Kiba, he returned to his stern expression.

Obviously, he has accepted Morino's arrangement.

As for Fujiki Shigeru, after

hearing the words, he glanced at Morino, and his face sank.

Sure enough, this idiot wants me to cut off their

escape. It's to kill me! However, fortunately, I have insurance. When I go

back, I'll let the higher-ups punish you!

But why haven't they come yet? We've been running

for more than a day and a night, so they should be here too! The information

should have been delivered a day ago. If they set off from the village, they

should have arrived earlier!

Fujiki Shigeru's face was dark,

his eyes anxiously scanning the forest.

The strong man noticed his gaze,

smiling mockingly. "Are you waiting for reinforcements?"

Reinforcements? What reinforcements?

As soon as these words came out,

Kiba and the others were startled, and Fujiki Shigeru was even more shocked.

He knows?

The strong man raised his hand,

and the two ninjas behind him turned around, dragging out several corpses from

the forest and throwing them in front of everyone.

What?

Kiba's pupils contracted slightly.

In front of them were the corpses of four Konoha ninjas. Although they didn't

recognize them, based on the clothes and forehead protectors, Kiba judged they

were all from the village.

Seeing the corpses, Fujiki Shigeru

sat down with a "plop" in shock, his face full of horror.

It's over... it's over! It's really over now!

"Speaking of which, I have to

thank you. If you weren't so afraid of death, my plan wouldn't be so perfect. I

didn't expect Konoha would have a ninja like you, greedy for life and afraid of

death. It seems Konoha's downfall is near," the strong man chuckled.

Fujiki Shigeru, while we weren't paying attention,

did you secretly send a message for help to the village?

After the strong man finished

speaking, the three of them looked at Fujiki Shigeru, who was sitting on the

ground, trembling.

"What are you looking at!

What are you looking at! You idiots, knowing there are more than fifty ninjas

in ambush, and you still don't go back for help, would I accompany you to

death? Morino, don't think I don't know. You were an idiot in the past, but for

Minato, you would have died countless times. If you're a ninja, is it great?

Can you drag me to death? You're a fool!" Fujiki Shigeru yelled, his voice

trembling.

This guy has completely lost his mind and can no

longer be considered combat power.

Kiba frowned, making this

judgment.

Kiuchi Taketo's face was full of

anger.

Such a coward can also be a ninja?

Thinking about it, he had already

touched the hilt of his ninja sword.

Morino's face flickered stiffly.

He glanced at Fujiki Shigeru, who was glaring at him with horrified eyes, and

suddenly turned away. With a muffled "bang," Morino knocked out the

hysterical Fujiki Shigeru.

Then, his eyes fell on the strong

man.

There is no other way. I must risk my life to hold

these people back and let Kiba escape!

Thinking of this, Morino gripped

his ninja sword with one hand and grabbed a kunai with the other, his eyes full

of murderous intent.

Almost the moment Morino Shinsuke

made his move, the strong man also touched the weapon on his waist, sinking

slightly into a fighting posture. The other ninjas also assumed their seal

formation poses.

"Wait a minute, Captain

Morino, I have a plan. Don't die in vain!"

At this moment, Morino Shinsuke's

hand was grabbed by Kiba, halting his momentum.

Shinsuke Morino looked at Kiba,

but seeing the determination in the child's eyes, he couldn't help being

startled.

Kiuchi Taketo, who wanted to

follow his teacher, also paused.

Kiba, do you have a plan?

For some reason, Kiuchi Taketo's

slight nervousness and fear calmed, and a sense of peace of mind surfaced.

Kiba looked at Morino Shinsuke,

then turned his attention to the strong man.

Let's go, let's go back together!

Kiba looked at the strong man and

smiled slightly.

A smile of confidence.
