Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer Chapter 529 Where Is Arrai?
At this moment.
All of the Kumogakure ninjas were looking at Ai.
They were too clear about this person's weight.
Not only was he the son of the Third Raikage but also a genius in Nintaijutsu in Komugakure. He was also the future Fourth Raikage that everyone in the village recognized.
This kind of person personally came here.
It was no different than giving these Kumogakure ninjas a strong injection.
Everyone was very clear about what this meant. Not only did Kumogakure not give up on them, but they also paid more attention to them.
After Ai came out here, his eyes first looked coldly at Minato. After that, he looked around.
In the forest, there were many corpses of Kumogakure ninjas. These ninjas had their hearts pierced or their throats slit by the kunai in Minato's hand.
Except for the damage caused by Minato...
The rest did not suffer any serious attacks. After all, Konohagakure ninjas were already exhausted. As long as they could not win the battle in the first attack, they would fall into a deadlock.
In this deadlock.
The time Konohagakure and Kumogakure ninjas played against each other was too short. At most, they only had some superficial injuries. There were not even any who were seriously injured.
A simple glance was given.
Ai roughly understood what was going on. Kumogakure ninjas' injuries were small, but the death rate was relatively high. As for Konohagakure ninjas, they generally did not have any fighting strength.
"Where is Arrai?"
Ai asked in a low voice. He vaguely felt that something had happened. After he glanced around, he did not see Arrai at the first moment. Moreover, with his identity, he came here personally but Arrai did not appear, which made him have an ominous feeling.
"..."
The Kumogakure ninjas suddenly fell silent. No one dared to answer Ai at this time. Moreover, their faces turned extremely strange. It seemed that they wanted to say something but did not dare to say anything.
"Where is Arrai?"
Ai saw that no one in the Kumogakure group answered him. His face suddenly became ugly. He asked again, but this time, his tone was much stiffer and more accusatory.
"That..."
"Ai-sama..."
"Hmm..."
"Sir..."
"..."
These Kumogakure ninjas all made an ambiguous sound. Their faces revealed all kinds of ugly expressions. It was not that they did not want to say it, but they did not dare to say it. After all, the current situation was too strange.
"Speak!"
Ai immediately ordered while pointing at a Kumogakure ninja that was closer to him. He had already seen through the reactions of these people. These Kumogakure ninjas all knew what had happened, but none of them said anything. None of them speak up at all.
If he continued to ask like that...
There won't be any results at all!
It would be better to directly pick up a person and let him say it, the effect would be better.
Suddenly.
The Kumogakure ninja that he pointed at had a depressed look on his face. He never thought that such a thing would fall on his head in the end.
"Well... that... that... that..." The ninja immediately became embarrassed. His eyes flashed and he kept looking up and down.
This kind of look.
It made Ai even more unhappy.
"If I ask you a question, just answer it. If you have something to say, say it. What are you stuttering about? Don't make me angry!"
Ai said coldly. His original anger was concentrated on Konohagakure, and now it was about to transfer to his side.
It was really annoying.
These people looked like they were wronged.
They wanted to say it, but they didn't dare to say it. They didn't say it, but they looked like they wanted to say it. In short, no matter how he looked at it, it made people feel awkward.
"Um... Er... That... Arrai-sama... He is right under your feet..." The ninja said helplessly. After he finished speaking, he instinctively prepared to defend. He was afraid that Ai would punch him hard in anger.
"Hmm?"
When Ai heard the ninja's words, he immediately widened his eyes and looked down.
At this time, he was standing on a branch, overlooking everything here. But because of the blind spot in the branch, he just couldn't see what was under the tree.
Even now.
He could only see the branches under his feet, not the people under the branches.
Suddenly.
He directly jumped down.
When Ai landed on the ground. He was shocked to find that right below the branch he just stood on, near the trunk, a man was lying down.
That man was the leader of this Kumogakure ninja army, Arrai!
"Arrai..."
Ai's face turned very complicated. Even though he was mentally prepared and thought that something might have happened to Arrai. However, when he saw Arrai's body lying in a pool of blood and the fatal wound on Arrai's neck that was still bleeding, he could not help but feel a strong anger.
"I was still a step late!"
Ai's tone was low and oppressive, like a volcano that could erupt at any time. He was already very unhappy, and in his heart, there was a very strong sense of regret.
If he had come a little earlier.
Even if only for a moment earlier.
The result of the matter might have been another.
The suppressed emotions in his heart exploded the moment he saw Arrai. After that, he poured all his dissatisfaction and anger into Konohagakure, especially the yellow-haired youth.
"Did you do all this?"
Ai stared coldly at Minato who was not far away. The anger in his heart had reached a limit.
When Ai said that.
Almost everyone's eyes fell on Minato and Ai. Everyone was very clear that the performance of these two people would affect the future of this place.
For a moment.
Everyone was silent.
The entire forest was silent.
In addition to the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the branches, the ninjas at the scene could only hear their own heartbeat and breathing.
At this moment, everyone had entered that kind of indescribable state.
Incomparably nervous.
Every nerve on their body was tense.
"That's right."
Minato slowly opened his mouth. There was no expression on his face, but you could see the seriousness in those blue eyes. However, he was very calm and hid all of this.
He did not need to answer or even speak. There were so many pairs of eyes on the scene, so he could not lie.
In that case.
It was better to be honest.
"Good!"
"Very good!"
"What's your name?"
Ai asked coldly. His eyes were filled with killing intent, but he did not attack immediately. He was deliberately stalling for time.
This point.
Among the people present.
Except for Kushina.
No one had noticed it yet.
Just now, Ai was so anxious. He was fast, so he rushed over first. The large team he brought was still rushing behind.
In the grass.
Kushina watched all of this silently. She was still hesitating in her heart, wondering if she should tell Minato about these things.
There were indeed many inconveniences right now.
Minato was focused on watching Ai. If he were to tell Minato about this at this time, it would be the same as sending a message to Kumogakure.
The reason why Ai did not say anything about this was because he did not want Konohagakure ninjas to know.
But...
Kushina also didn't want Kumogakure ninjas to know about this.
If they knew this, it would be like being injected with chicken blood, and the situation would become even more difficult.
In the end...
After a deep struggle in her heart, Kushina decided not to mention this matter for the time being. Instead, she stood aside and watched. After all, such a thing was really difficult for her to choose.
But with her strength...
She was very confident that she could stop those Kumogakure ninjas and avoid the possible dangers. This was the transformation she gained after practicing in Mt. Myoboku.
Kushina did not speak.
Konohagakure ninjas had not discovered the arrival of Kumogakure's army.
After all.
Right now, they had all reached their limit and were very exhausted.
Being able to squeeze out a bit of chakra to resist foreign enemies was already very difficult.
How could they use it to sense enemies that might appear?
All of a sudden.
A very delicate balance appeared in the audience.
Konohagakure ninjas were afraid of Kumogakure ninjas, and Kumogakure ninjas were also afraid of Konohagakure ninjas. Neither side dared to act rashly.
Konohagakure ninjas placed all their hopes on Minato. Correspondingly, Kumogakure ninjas also placed their hopes on Ai.
After Minato heard Ai's question, he was silent for a moment. After that, he slowly opened his mouth and used the same indifferent tone as before.
"Namikaze Minato."
After Minato spoke, the Kumogakure ninjas on the scene all silently remembered this name.
No need to speak...
After this battle.
They would all remember the strength of this ninja. Most importantly, everyone could see that this ninja was still so young, so young that they felt terrified.
This age...
He seemed to be even younger than their Ai-sama!
To be able to possess such a formidable strength at such a young age, it would be hard to imagine what kind of development he would become if given more time to improve.
Kumogakure had always regarded Konohagakure as an enemy, and this kind of thing was not something that happened in a day or two!
The Third Ninja World War that broke out was started by them because they attacked Konohagakure.
At that time.
Their Kumogakure's brain, Hari, had died in the enemy village!
Of course.
Their leader, the Third Raikage, was also in Konohagakure and fought with the Konohagakure ninjas.
Although after that, the two villages stopped attacking each other because of different things, there was already a deep hatred between the two sides. It was not easy to forget it as time passed.
"I remember your name, but unfortunately, I will soon have to forget it. You killed so many ninjas of our Kumogakure. I will not let you leave here alive. Otherwise, my Kumogakure brothers will not agree to such a thing!" Ai said in a cold tone. Through his deep voice, there was a sense of oppression. His voice also brought strength to the Kumogakure ninjas.
"There are many people who want to kill me..."
Minato maintained his usual indifference. No matter how great the waves in his heart were, he was very clear that he needed to be calm. Konohagakure was counting on him. If his mentality collapsed, then the Konohagakure ninjas present would be finished.
"But..."
"I'm still alive!"
"It's not that easy to kill me!"
As Minato said this, a big doubt suddenly appeared in his heart, and he felt that something was wrong.
Logically speaking...
This Third Raikage's son in front of him should not appear alone like this. Could it be that he was following behind the Kumogakure ninja army?
If he was not alone...
Then there should be many people!
So...
He hadn't made a move for a long time just now.
This must be because he was buying time!
Suddenly.
Minato's mind began to think quickly. He needed to think of a way to break the situation in this very short and limited time.
