Chapter 43 Worth it
Po and the other Root ninja were stunned when they heard Xiaoyu’s greeting.

They didn’t understand where this ninja cat came from, let alone how it found them.

Could it be that this cat has been following them all along? !

Just when they were stunned for a moment, Xiaoyu had already stood up swiftly, took out a flare from the small bag on her waist and launched it into the air.

It was not until he saw the bright flare exploded in the night sky that he woke up from his dream.

There was not even a moment to mourn their dead psychic dog, and the next thing they had to think about was how to escape!
“go!”

Po pulled up his Chunin teammate on the ground and prepared to run away.

But before they could take any action, a rain of paper javelins and flying needles poured down from the sky!

He dodged by quickly jumping back and pulling out his kunai in time to block, and only then did he manage to save his life.

Just looking sideways, he saw that his teammates had been pierced into a sieve by paper javelins.

Then the initiator of this wave of baptism slowly emerged from the night,
Po’s pupils shrank slightly, and his tone was mixed with shock and unwillingness.

“It’s you! You’re the girl named Konan in the Akatsuki organization listed in the information!”

Xiaonan frowned, somewhat displeased with the other party’s tone, so he did not respond, but continued to summon more paper as javelins in silence.

He was panting, and the expression under the mask was extremely bitter.

If he was in good condition, he could still ignore the teenage girl in the air, but now he had been tortured all night, his body was covered with scalds and burns, and he had very little physical strength and chakra left.

“It’s all over now…” Po whispered to himself in pain.

He wrote three pieces of intelligence in total, one for the summoned beast, one for his teammates and one for himself.

But now it seems that I can’t send any of them back.

It’s just a small organization from the Rain Country. Who could have imagined that this would be the result?

The girl in the air ignored his despair, and the next moment, paper javelins rained down again.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

This time, there was a detonating talisman mixed in with the curled up paper.

After spending a long time together, Xiaonan has also learned caution and decisiveness from Shiba Qinghe!
After bombing repeatedly until they were sure that the enemy had been reduced to pieces, Xiaonan landed and asked Xiaoyu, “Are you sure this is the only one that escaped?”

“Yes, meow~ There are only these two people who escaped from the mountain, meow~”

Xiaonan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and muttered softly, “That guy, he made it so thrilling again this time.”

But there wasn’t actually much complaint in her tone, instead it showed a bit of tenderness, like an older sister’s doting on her naughty younger brother.

It was precisely because of Sister Konan’s unconditional support that Shiba Qinghe dared to implement such a bold and unconventional strategy.

But at this moment, in the sea of ​​fire on the mountain, Aburame Ryoma obviously didn’t know this.

He was just shocked by Shiba Kiyokawa’s calmness, so much so that he began to doubt the meaning of continuing to fight.

Seizing the moment when the opponent’s mind was shaken, Shiba Kiyokawa decisively pressed forward to attack!

“Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!”

The fireballs that spewed out of the mouth were like the seeds of Impatiens, scattered like stars in the sky, covering an area of ​​several meters around Aburama!

Aburame Ryoma came to his senses and dodged hastily, but his robe was still caught on fire in his haste.

He threw away the loose robe that was on fire, and his exposed body was covered with black parasites, which was a blessing for people with trypophobia. As a member of the Aburame clan, he was usually very reluctant to take off his robe to show himself to others, but now he was forced to show this ugly appearance in front of others.

“It’s really ugly.” He laughed at himself.

I don’t know if he was talking about the appearance of himself, or commenting on the fact that he was forced into this situation by a Rain Ninja boy who was several years younger than him.

However, this humiliation also aroused the final fighting spirit of Aburame Ryoma.

He no longer worried about the life and death of his teammates down the mountain, no longer worried about whether the intelligence could be sent back to Konoha, and no longer anxious about the meaning of staying to fight.

There was only one thing left in his mind now: at least before I die, I must help Lord Danzo get rid of this dangerous young man in front of him!

To this end, he did not hesitate to consume his essence and blood, forcibly driving away the striking insects on his body, raised his hands, and summoned a buzzing black cloud in front of him!

He has made up his mind to fight to the death!
He is ready to do whatever it takes!

He opened his mouth and let out a roar, and a hideous and distorted expression rarely appeared on his usually gentle and easy-going face!

He had clearly given up everything, but the next moment, all his fighting spirit and determination flew away with a sound of breaking through the air.

He only heard a voice behind him——

“Spicy Tiansai!”

Aburame Ryoma’s body was immediately blown away like a rag doll, and along with the swarm of insects he summoned with a fearless attitude, it smashed into the sea of ​​fire at an unexpected speed, splashing sparks.

All of this, when viewed in context, somehow reveals a certain black humor.

After all, reality is not a cartoon. The will of those who are at the end of their rope seems too pale in the face of the strength of those who are well-rested and waiting for the opportunity.

The appearance of this voice naturally meant that Nagato and the Akatsuki members who received the news came to support.

As a steady poison master, Shiba Qinghe never hesitates to use the method of shaking people up.

Since Konan is here, Nagato is of course not absent.

After arriving at the scene, Nagato also helped Crow Feather and Masuda Kazuki who were fighting on the other side to quickly eliminate the last Root Jonin Shaman.

At this point, all the Twelve Root Ninjas who entered the Rain Country were wiped out!

Several members of the Akatsuki organization who followed Nagato used water-style ninjutsu to control the surrounding fire while anxiously urging, “Captain Qinghe, and everyone else, hurry up! The fire on the road we came from was just put out, and if we delay any longer, it will start again!”

Upon hearing this, Shiba Kiyokawa did not leave immediately, but instead instantly appeared in the sea of ​​fire, stabbed a knife into Aburame Ryoma’s chest, then cut his neck with another knife, and finally opened the sealing scroll he had prepared in advance and sealed the body in it.

Then he retreated to the team members who came to support him and used their water escape technique to put out the fire on his body.

For an elite like Aburame Ryoma, no amount of caution is too much. He would rather empty the ninja tool bag on his waist and not even carry shuriken, but must bring a scroll that can seal the corpse.

This is called professionalism!

Then, before leaving, Crow Feather used Fire Style to deal with the bodies of other Root Ninjas. Then everyone quickly evacuated and quickly went down the mountain with several Water Style Ninjas brought by Nagato.

When they got down the mountain and looked back, the whole mountain was still shrouded in flames!
Shiba Kiyokawa asked Kenjiro who had come running, “What’s the situation at the foot of the mountain? Are there any casualties?”

Kenjiro replied, “Fortunately, the two leaders, Nagato and Konan, arrived in time, and the villagers were evacuated. No one was injured.”

But even so, Nagato still looked distressed. Looking at the burning mountain in front of him, he said sadly, “When the day breaks, Brother Yahiko will definitely scold you again. Is it really worth it, Qinghe?”

Shiba Kiyokawa subconsciously raised his hand and gently stroked the sealed scroll at his waist, smiled lightly, and answered with great certainty.

“Of course, it’s worth it!”
