"Hina, Shin," Kaoru suddenly said as the three of them walked silently, "I'll leave the Heaven Scroll we have to you two. I've decided to scout ahead."
After saying that, Kaoru threw the Heaven Scroll in his hand to Hina. Before the other two could react, he turned and left, running ahead.
"Hey, Kaoru, what are you doing?" Hina finally reacted at this time, wanting to call him to stop, but Kaoru ran too fast, disappearing in an instant.
And Shin, who was on the side, bit his lower lip tightly without speaking. He of course knew the purpose of Kaoru leaving alone. Root's target was him, and he didn't want his companions to be involved.
"Good, this is about right." Kaoru stopped after running forward for a while. He decided to maintain a distance ahead of Shin and Hina.
This way, he could protect his companions while also not letting them get involved in the struggle between him and Root later.
Shin was willing to violate Danzō's orders to send him a note, and Kaoru was quite touched.
Root was an organization that valued loyalty very much, and once discovered, the consequences for Shin would be unimaginable.
And Hina was a little girl who didn't know anything. Being with these two people, Kaoru really had a feeling of companionship. He couldn't let them be implicated because of his affairs.
Just as Kaoru thought this, three figures suddenly appeared out of thin air on a large tree branch in front of him.
Judging from the forehead protectors on their foreheads, they were ninjas from the Hidden Stone Village.
When these Hidden Stone ninjas saw Kaoru suddenly appear, their eyes burst out and then they laughed excitedly.
"Tsk tsk, Konoha brat, why are you alone? Oh, could it be that you quarreled with your companions and ran away in a huff?"
"Haha, what a naive kid." These Hidden Stone ninjas had seen the scene of Kaoru arguing with Shin before, and thought that Kaoru had run away in a fit of pique.
"Alright, quickly hand over the scroll in your hand, and maybe we can spare your life..."
"Boring..." Before the Hidden Stone ninja could finish speaking, Kaoru said lightly.
He was now preoccupied and didn't want to care about these Hidden Stone ninjas at all, walking straight past the ground under the tree.
"This bastard kid, dares to ignore us!" The faces of the Hidden Stone ninjas changed, and Kaoru walked further and further away, directly leaving them with a back view.
You had to know that showing your back to the enemy was a taboo for ninjas, but now Kaoru didn't care at all. This was simply a naked disregard for them!
"I'll let you know the consequences of despising us!" One of the Hidden Stone ninjas couldn't sit still any longer.
He took out a kunai, used the Body Flicker Technique and disappeared from the tree trunk, instantly appearing behind Kaoru.
"I'll turn you into a corpse first and then slowly search for the scroll!" This Hidden Stone ninja shouted loudly, raising the kunai high and preparing to drop it.
"Puchi!" A crisp sound rang out.
Kaoru was one step ahead of him, holding the Storm Sword in his backhand, and without even turning his head, he directly pierced the Hidden Stone ninja with one blow!
"Being too confident in your own strength is the reason for your death..." Kaoru said faintly, and then pulled the Storm Sword out of the Hidden Stone ninja's body.
Everything was done naturally, without a trace of extra movement. In the eyes of outsiders, it was as if the Hidden Stone ninja had crash into the great sword himself.
The blood on the great sword's blade slowly fell sprinkle on the ground.
"Boom!" The Hidden Stone ninja who had been arrogant just now had turned into a corpse and fell to the ground.
"This kid... Instant kill?" The remaining two Hidden Stone ninjas' hearts jumped wildly.
"I'm in a bad mood now, and you just have to come to the muzzle of the gun..." After killing a Hidden Stone ninja, Kaoru turned to look at the two Hidden Stone ninjas still on the tree.
At this time, Kaoru's temperament had completely changed, no longer the lazy appearance just now, but as cold and ruthless as frost.
Kaoru's scarlet eyes pierced people's hearts like scissors, as if a pair of big hands were choking their necks, making them unable to breathe.
"What are those eyes?" The originally aggressive Hidden Stone ninjas didn't dare to look Kaoru in the eye now.
Killing one of their companions lightly, their strength was probably beyond their reach.
"Patta!" Kaoru took a step forward, and the two Hidden Stone ninjas couldn't help but retreat, one of them almost falling from the tree trunk in fright.
"Why are you retreating? Didn't you want to kill me?"
Kaoru said: "Never mind, I'll send you two to see your companion," A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Run!" This thought immediately flashed through the minds of the two Hidden Stone ninjas.
They were wrong from the beginning. In front of this kid who looked very weak, they were the prey!
The two Hidden Stone ninjas immediately used all the ninjutsu they had learned and retreated desperately, frantically creating distance from Kaoru.
"Bastard, is this kid a monster!" One of the Hidden Stone ninjas said while running.
"Damn it, we actually ran into such a guy," Another Hidden Stone ninja also cursed, "But it doesn't matter, as long as we..."
Before this Hidden Stone ninja could finish speaking, he heard a swish sound, and a card that suddenly flew from behind instantly caught up with them, cut away half of this Hidden Stone ninja's head with one blow!
"Cough cough!" This Hidden Stone ninja who hadn't finished speaking, twitching and twitching all over his body, and then fell to the ground.
Another Hidden Stone ninja was splashed with his companion's blood, and even the peel off skull fell on him. He immediately collapsed completely.
"Ah!!!!" This Hidden Stone ninja had completely lost his mind. He threw his companion's skull far away, and then fell to the ground.
"Demon, you're a demon! Don't kill me, don't kill me!" Facing Kaoru who was walking slowly, this Hidden Stone ninja hug his head and shouted in terror.
"You want to become a chūnin with this kind of heart....." Kaoru looked sadly at the Hidden Stone Village genin who was distorted with fear on the ground.
"Never mind," Kaoru sighed, and then turned and groping for a while from the other two corpses, taking out the scroll, which happened to be the Earth Scroll needed by Team 8.
"People have to die for this thing, the life of a ninja is really cheap." Kaoru smiled helplessly, put the scroll in his arms, and strode forward.
In another place, the two genin from the Hidden Mist Village were also walking slowly.
"Kuro, what's our plan?" Hōzuki Mangetsu asked the bandaged ninja, his words seeming to be quite respectful to this ninja named "Kuro".
This Kuro was a ninja who suddenly appeared in the Hidden Mist Village in recent years. He was powerful, his whole body was covered in bandages, and he was mysterious.
As soon as he came to the Hidden Mist Village, he was summoned by the Fourth Mizukage as his personal guard, which could be said to be quite sharp, and even a genius juvenile like Hōzuki Mangetsu was submit to him.
And this time, the Fourth Mizukage didn't know for what reason, and sent him and Hōzuki Mangetsu to participate in this Chūnin Selection Exams together.
"We don't need to plan, people have already attacked the door," Kuro said faintly.
"Oh my, we were actually discovered by a genin, this is really a very embarrassing thing," A teasing voice rang out, and suddenly three figures appeared in front of the Hidden Mist Village ninjas.
Their ages were all around thirty years old, and judging from the forehead protectors on their foreheads, they were all ninjas from Konoha.
