Chapter 209 Aburame Ryoma and Mimori
Chapter 209 Aburame Ryoma and Mimori
"We're really lucky to have found a group of Konoha ninjas so quickly."
On a winding dirt path in the mountains, Mi Shou leaned out from a rock halfway up the mountain and glanced at the four figures that were about to disappear around the bend in the distance.
"These are all strangers, and we don't know their strength. We need to carefully plan our tactics."
Now that no one was around, Mi Shou no longer needed to put on an act of arrogance, and his style of doing things changed swiftly.
As he pondered, Mi Shou's body merged into the rock and disappeared.
The Konoha ninja he targeted was a squad composed entirely of Chunin. They, along with several other squads, were under the command of Aburame Ryuma to hunt down the destroyers who had invaded the Land of Fire.
At this time, they were gathering intelligence.
A few hours later.
"Captain, there are some traces here."
In a mountain hollow, a team member found ashes from burning wood and a few food scraps.
The captain looked around and nodded slightly: "This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, very secluded, and indeed a good hiding place. Let's search the surrounding area."
"Yes."
The four split up and began their search.
Mi Shou witnessed this scene.
"Success."
Those traces were all carefully prepared by Mi Shou, with the aim of scattering the enemy and then defeating them one by one.
Soon, he transformed into the appearance of a Konoha captain and found a Konoha ninja.
"Captain, what brings you here?"
The Konoha ninja was puzzled, but then he sensed movement behind him and turned around to see an unfamiliar ninja rushing towards him.
At the same time, Mimori rushed forward and shouted, "Watch out!"
The Konoha ninjas, believing their captain was coming to their aid, prepared to engage in close combat with the enemy, hoping to create an opportunity for their captain to attack.
But just as the kunai managed to withstand the enemy's attack, it felt a sudden dizziness.
He was beheaded.
"Their strength is average; hopefully, the rest are the same."
After assessing the strength of the Konoha ninjas, Mikami slightly adjusted his plan and continued attacking the remaining ninjas.
After successfully killing three Konoha ninjas, leaving only the Konoha captain, Mikami spent some time capturing him alive and extracting a lot of information from him.
After killing the Konoha captain and sealing his body in a scroll, Mikami continued his journey.
He wanted to kill as many Konoha ninja as possible to suppress other competitors.
Unbeknownst to him, Ryoma Aburame had already noticed him.
As Danzo's most valued subordinate, when he was assigned this mission, Danzo specifically requested that he perform it flawlessly.
Danzo, who felt the Hokage title was about to fall into his lap, also needed to improve his record.
This enemy invasion and sabotage proves the incompetence of the Third Generation; the fact that he easily dealt with it demonstrates his own strength.
Regardless of the truth, Danzo had already drafted a propaganda slogan.
Ryoma Aburame is indeed exceptionally strong. With the powerful reconnaissance capabilities of the Parasite Insects, he has already located and eliminated two enemy squads.
At the same time, he also learned from the enemy that the mastermind behind the attack was the Hidden Mist Ninja.
Just as he was about to continue his encirclement and annihilation of the enemy, he suddenly stopped and slightly adjusted his sunglasses.
"A squad was wiped out. That's interesting."
The Konoha ninja under his command were all infected with a parasitic worm. As long as the parasite dies, the parasite will also die, and the parasite in his body will sense it.
An insect crawled out of his sleeve, flapped its wings, and took flight, heading towards Mi Shou's direction.
Not long after, Ryoma Aburame intercepted Mikami with the help of the insects.
"You were able to easily kill a squad. You must be quite capable. You're different from the enemies I've encountered. No wonder you're acting alone."
Ryoma Aburame, dressed in black, slightly raised his head, revealing the Konoha headband beneath his cloak.
He spoke for two reasons: to extract information and to attract the other party's attention so that the parasitic insects around him could launch a silent attack.
Mimori quickly noticed the parasites around him, and bad memories came to mind.
He was almost killed by Konoha ninjas because of the Aburame clan ninjas.
"Test their strength. If they are weak, kill them. If they are too strong, run away. Don't hesitate."
Having a plan in mind, Mi Shou didn't bother arguing with the other party. He directly formed a hand seal and pressed his hands to the ground.
The rocks on the ground quickly loosened and broke into stones of various sizes.
These stones, like flowing water, were controlled by Mikami to scatter the insects hidden on the ground and then rushed towards Aburame Ryoma.
Aburame Ryoma's body was scattered, turning into countless black insects that surrounded Mikami from all directions.
"Can't find the real body, humph, what a cautious fellow!"
Mikami's eyes darted left and right, but he couldn't spot the enemy's true form. Knowing that the enemy was not easy to deal with, he immediately prepared to retreat.
He dared not gamble that the other side had no reinforcements.
"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"
Huge rocks enclosed a sealed space shaped like a steamed bun, isolating flying insects and protecting Mi Shou.
To escape the aerial insects, Mimori dived into the ground and fled underground.
Aburame Ryoma shattered the earthen wall, but was not in a hurry when he saw the enemy disappear.
He can find the other party as long as they are still carrying the corpses of Konoha ninjas.
However, he did not rashly attack Mi Shou.
After a brief exchange, Aburame Ryoma realized that this enemy was not easy to deal with.
If the other party escapes again next time, they might guess that there's something wrong with the body and then discard it.
That makes it harder to find.
Therefore, he first sent insects to contact other Konoha ninjas, gathered them together, and then tried to kill them with a single blow.
During this process, he received information about the deaths of several Konoha ninjas.
Fortunately, none of the attacked teams were wiped out, indicating that the new attackers were not as strong as the current enemy.
"It seems someone is targeting us."
Having received this news, Aburame Ryoma was even more determined not to let Mimori go.
Only by capturing Mikami can Aburame Ryoma obtain information about the enemy.
Mi Shou was unaware of all this; he was rushing back to find He Ma to report back.
In order to avoid revealing his route and being ambushed, he deliberately took a long detour and chose a rugged mountain path that was difficult to traverse.
In the evening, he found a mountain spring and prepared to rest for a while.
Two shadow clones were sent out to keep watch around the area. Mi Shou ate some dry rations, his mouth was dry, and his body needed to replenish water after running for a long time.
But he only glanced at the clear spring water and showed no intention of drinking it.
Safety first.
Regardless of whether the spring water is clean or not, what if it has been poisoned?
The Land of Fire has many rivers, which you'll encounter frequently, so drinking river water will be safer.
You won't die from not drinking water for a day.
In the distance, a group of parasitic insects flew silently from the grass and came to Aburame Ryoma's front.
"They didn't drink the spring water? How cautious."
Having received the information, Aburame Ryoma looked at the dozen or so Konoha ninjas standing in front of him.
In an attempt to capture Mi Shou, they poisoned several water sources in the surrounding area with colorless and odorless poison, but it now appears to have had no effect.
"In that case, let's launch an attack directly."
As Ryoma Aburame issued his orders, the Konoha ninjas sprang into action.
As the sky turned red, a light mist, accompanied by a gentle breeze, unknowingly approached Misato from the mountains.
