Gasshi's head rolled on the grass outside Konohagakure.
The expression on his head still carried invincible confidence.
Until the moment he died.
Gasshi did not think that he would die.
The moment the girl lifted her foot, he lost his life before he could feel anything.
He didn't even know that he was dead when he lost consciousness!
...
"What's going on?"
"Real or fake?"
"Gasshi-sama?"
"It's not a joke, right?"
"..."
The ninjas who formed the elite ninja team with Gasshi stared at the scene in front of them with wide eyes. Everyone was stunned and even felt that this was an act to deceive them.
One had to know.
The Gasshi in their hearts was an almost invincible existence!
It was impossible for his head to be kicked off by someone.
Moreover, the person who kicked off Gasshi's head was just a little girl who looked four or five years old.
This was simply impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
All of a sudden.
The three genin who followed Gasshi and the other three ninjas who were in charge of opening the barrier were all dumbfounded.
Their brains had short-circuited.
They were completely unaware of what had happened.
At this moment.
The little girl in Gasshi's arms and the twelve Kumogakure Ninjas standing with them all turn into a paper.
In an instant.
These people all turned into pieces of paper.
A square piece of paper floated in the air surrounding the six people.
The texture of each piece of paper was changing.
From a dull milky white to a shiny bluish-white, then it became thinner and thinner until it finally became like a cicada's wing.
"Not good!"
The ninjas here realized that they had been ambushed. They saw the cold light flashing on those pieces of paper and felt a sense of danger.
But it was already too late.
Just as they realized this.
Those pieces of paper that were as thin as a cicada's wing began to spin rapidly in midair.
Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum! Hum!
When these pieces of paper spun, there were tremors, like countless cicada wings mourning the death they were about to face.
The next moment.
These rotating pieces of paper that could no longer be seen were like sharp blades, and they quickly cut toward the six people.
It was at this moment.
A beautiful picture was born!
These rotating pieces of paper that were shining with a cold light quickly shuttled through the crowd.
Everywhere they passed.
Nothing could hinder their advance.
In a split second.
The pieces of paper here seem to be connected together.
Under the moonlight.
It was like a white silk curtain intertwined like a spider web in the forest.
As the pieces of paper flew around.
All the ninjas have lost their breath.
They all fell into a pool of blood.
Crash...
As the pieces of paper churned, they intertwined and formed a paper man under the moonlight.
After this paper man appeared, the pieces of paper flew over his body, finally forming the appearance of Aoba.
"There won't be any more backup this time, right?"
Aoba's face was hidden behind the mask, and his eyes were focused on the head of Gasshi, who had rolled far away.
He was ready to read Gasshi's memory.
But before he read it.
He already had a rough guess.
These people should be the backup plan that Hari had set up.
After all, the group in front.
They could attack or defend.
No matter if they successfully captured Hyuga clan clansmen or died in the hands of the Hyuga clan, they could all contribute.
But the team of elite ninjas in the back was a backup arrangement for the intruders in front.
As for arranging more.
It shouldn't be.
From the memory of the chunin leader, Aoba already knew some information about Gasshi.
This Gasshi was very strong.
In Kumogakure, he was an elite jonin.
His current strength was not inferior to Doroi, who had come to Konohagakure before.
Although he wasn't as abnormal as the Third Raikage, he was still one of the strongest among the Jonin ninjas.
It was precisely because of Gasshi's strength.
Hari gave this important task to Gasshi.
Any ordinary Konoha jonin could not be a match for Gasshi.
It was precisely because Aoba had known about this beforehand that he had used his shadow clone and advanced paper clone's method to disguise himself as the twelve Kumogakure intruders.
Of course.
It was not just twelve people.
There was also a little girl from the Hyuga clan.
When this little girl kicked out, it was also the moment when Gasshi was the most careless and could get close to him.
At that moment.
The advanced paper clone, disguised as a little girl, would concentrate all the chakra in her body on her foot.
Then she would directly kick at Gasshi's neck.
This could be a perfect sneak attack that he had performed!
In his heart.
It was even more exciting than the sneak attack outside of Ramen Ichiraku!
After all, if he were to fight Gasshi in a one-on-one battle, regardless of whether he won or lost, it would be a tough battle.
However...
As a ninja!
You must have the way of a ninja!
If you can launch a sneak attack...
Who was going to fight you fair and square!
...
Step by step, Aoba walked towards the position of Gasshi's head and slowly squatted down. He then stretched out his right hand and touched Gasshi's head.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Doton: Chōkajūgan no Jutsu(Earth Release: Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique)!"
A clear electronic prompt sounded in Aoba's mind.
A ninjutsu knowledge poured into his mind as if he was born with it and could be used at any time.
"Good fellow!"
Aoba couldn't help but sigh, and his eyes stared at Gasshi's head.
"Chōkeijūgan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique)."
"Chōkajūgan no Jutsu(Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique)."
"These two advanced versions of Earth Release's buff-level ninjutsu."
"All of it was from Komogakure ninjas."
"If you see it like this..."
"I still have to thank you guys!"
Aoba lifted Gasshi's head and got up. He turned around and walked towards the direction where those people had fallen.
He then gently raised his right hand.
He then directly threw Gasshi's head into the pool of blood.
Then, he walked in the direction of Gasshi's corpse. After losing the little girl as a balance, the corpse was already lying on the ground.
At this time.
Blood continued to flow out of the headless corpse.
Aoba arrived in front of Gasshi's headless corpse; then, he reached out to touch his body and immediately found a ninja bag.
He opened it.
Banknotes.
Explosive tags.
Smoke bombs.
...
There were many types of ninja supplies.
Even his stockpile of military rations pills was the one that Aoba had seen the most.
Aoba counted and felt that the harvest was not bad. Then he searches the ninja bags on the other corpses.
It took about ten minutes.
Aoba plundered all the valuable items on Kumogakure's ninja body.
This gave him a feeling of looting when he was playing games.
Only...
Except for the jonin called Gasshi, who provided him with the Chōkajūgan no Jutsu(Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique), the other six ninjas did not give any good ninjutsu.
"Now it's time to send you on your way."
After Aoba finished counting everything, he began to throw all the corpses here together in the pool of blood.
But this time.
Aoba did not waste any Corpse Dissolving Water.
After placing the corpse slightly, he began to form hand seals with his hands.
"Fūton: Kazekiri(Wind Release: Wind Cutter)!"
Aoba then created countless wind blade
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Wind blades instantly slid across the ground, across the woods, and across the corpses on the ground one after another...
A moment later.
This place turns into a mess.
Broken trees were everywhere.
Traces of being cut on the ground.
The most tragic thing was those corpses that had been cut by the wind blade repeatedly.
"Alright."
Aoba looked at the crime scene that he had embellished with satisfaction.
"It doesn't matter whether or not someone finds out."
"If someone finds out, they will think these people were killed by a wind release, or they were covered up by a wind release..."
"Anyway, this matter is related to Danzo."
"People will only think that either Danzo or someone else did it to frame Danzo."
"It has nothing to do with me."
Aoba left this half-natural and messy battlefield here.
Leaving a crime scene.
It was the best method.
If all these people disappeared, Kumogakure would continue to find people to invade or attack them directly.
He had to let them know that they had suffered.
Since they were going to fight.
He wanted to dampen Kumogakure's spirit a bit!
Moreover...
Aoba didn't have many Corpse Dissolving Water left. He didn't want to waste them on these people.
"Where exactly did they get this Corpse Dissolving Water?"
Aoba had doubts about this problem. After he came to the Ninja World, he killed more or less some people. But he only obtained the Corpse Dissolving Water from Tatsuma, and no other ninja was possessing it, not even a jonin.
Most importantly...
The others did not even know that there was such a thing!
Even in Sakumo's memories, Aoba did not find the Corpse Dissolving Water.
This made him realize...
The Corpse Dissolving Water might be something that even Konoha White Fang didn't know.
"Is it exclusive to Root?"
Aoba shook his head helplessly. He knew that these things could not be answered by thinking about them. He could only rely on luck.
When would he be able to read a person who knows Corpse Dissolving Water?
It didn't matter if it was buying or making.
It would be much more convenient.
In the memory of Tatsuma, Aoba only got the method to use Corpse Dissolving Water. Moreover, the bottle was obtained from Danzo, not from Aburame Clan.
After thinking for a while.
Aoba pulled his thoughts back to this place. He jumped up, his body as light as a swallow, and instantly landed on the top of a tree nearby.
He then sat on a branch, leaned his body against the trunk, and slowly closed his eyes.
He began to read through Gasshi's memories seriously.
For a moment.
Scenes after scenes appeared in his mind.
It was like a movie playing.
