Kato Keika looked to the side with an unbelievable expression on her face. The girl in front of her, whom she had raised, had actually put a sword to her neck. Why?
At this moment, her heart held no other emotions, only incomprehension.
"Sister Reina, are you crazy? Put the sword down!" Kato Mion was also unable to accept the facts in front of her, and her attention was all focused on Oshima Reina. Seeing this, Sasaki Kazuo hurried to the side.
"Haha, you don't have to look at me with that expression," Oshima Reina's tone was very indifferent, and her light yellow pupils were full of indifference.
"Why?" Kato Keika's voice trembled. She had already regarded Oshima Reina as her own daughter. However, at this moment, she pointed the sharp blade at her.
Kato Mion frowned and asked, "Are you also after the immortal body that may not even exist?"
"Haha," Oshima Reina sneered and said, "Who would care about that kind of thing?"
"Then what are you after?" Kato Keika asked.
Oshima Reina pulled her body closer, then put her ear close to Kato Keika and said, "Don't you have anything to say to me about the death of my parents?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Kato Keika's pupils suddenly shrank, and she said in surprise, "Could it be that you know about that? Who told you!"
Before Oshima Reina could answer, Kato Keika's eyes suddenly turned to Sasaki Kazuo, who was standing aside: "It was you!"
The incident that happened more than ten years ago was not known to Yugimoto Kawahiko, who is now the leader of the Hot Spring Ninja Village. However, Sasaki Kazuo has always been a high-ranking official in the village, and he knew about that incident.
"Now, do you still want to ask me why I did this?" Oshima Reina's voice gradually turned cold.
Kato Keika said hurriedly: "Reina, listen to my explanation, this matter is actually..."
Before she could finish her words, Oshima Reina interrupted her: "Don't worry, I will let you explain it to me clearly, but before that, you have to go outside with me."
Immediately, Oshima Reina glanced at the sword in her hand, ready to go. "Kato Mion, your strength is not as good as mine, and, are you going to fight me?"
The sword in Oshima Reina's hand was less than three inches away from Kato Keika's throat. At this distance, Kato Mion had no choice at all, because not only was her strength inferior to the former, but they had known each other since childhood and were too familiar with each other's methods.
Kato Mion had to put away her posture and flash to Sasaki Kazuo's side, ready to use him to threaten Oshima Reina. "You can kill that old guy. He has no use anyway."
Oshima Reina smiled nonchalantly. As an undercover agent, Sasaki Kazuo was worthless after his identity was exposed. Moreover, she was going to take Kato Keika away. Taking him, who had little mobility, would only be a burden. Kato Mion also understood this but could do nothing at this time.
"Follow me!" Oshima Reina held Kato Keika hostage and walked towards the exit of the shelter cautiously. Sasaki Kazuo was indeed thrown there like garbage by her.
At this point, no matter how confused the civilians of the Hot Spring Village were, some of them started to understand the situation. They immediately surrounded Sasaki Kazuo. Some people even wanted to follow Oshima Reina out in anger to rescue Kato Keika. However, Kato Mion stopped them. They were not ninjas, and going out would be in vain.
Kato Mion followed closely.
At this time, there were corpses all over the front of Kuriyama Shinzo. In just one minute, dozens of Jashin believers were killed by Sakumo and the Hot Spring ninjas. Half of them were killed by Sakumo in one strike.
According to this trend, in more than a minute, the believers around Kuriyama Shinzo would be completely cleared. However, there was no panic on this guy's face.
Just as Sakumo and the Hot Spring ninjas continued to harvest the lives of these Jashin cultists, Kuriyama Shinzo grinned because he saw two figures appear.
Seeing this, Sakumo slowly turned his head and stopped his actions. Oshima Reina walked out of the shelter holding Kato Keika and slowly approached Sakumo and the others. Seeing Sakumo turning his head, some Hot Spring ninjas also looked over, and all their energy was immediately dispersed.
"Madam."
Those Hot Spring ninjas couldn't believe it. Just when a Hot Spring ninja was about to be stabbed in the heart by the short sword in the hands of a Jashin Cultist, a white light flashed, and a broken arm fell to the ground.
"Ah!"
Then the Jashin Cultist screamed.
"Everyone back down!"
Although Sakumo was not very clear about the current situation, he could conclude that there was a problem inside the Hot Spring Ninja Village. And the traitor turned out to be Oshima Reina, who had found his group with the remaining two Hot Spring ninjas that day. Kato Keika was held hostage, and the Hot Spring ninjas would be distracted to some extent, so Sakumo issued this order to let everyone retreat to avoid becoming a target for the Jashin Cultists.
When Oshima Reina approached, holding Kato Keika, Kato Mion followed.
The Hot Spring ninjas scattered, but all said incomprehensibly, "Captain Oshima, what are you doing?"
"Do you know what you are doing?"
Oshima Reina's strength is not bad. She usually serves as the captain of the Hot Spring Ninja Village. Her position is one level higher than the captain of the Konoha Anbu according to the level. However, it was such a person who was very influential in the village and was deeply trusted by the leader who held Kato Keika hostage. Kato Keika's identity is not only the mother of the leader of the Hot Spring Ninja Village but also one of the high-level officials of the Hot Spring Ninja Village. Moreover, she is also the daughter of the first leader of the Hot Spring Ninja Village, and her status is extremely respected.
Kuriyama Shinzo had a grim smile on his face, and Sakumo finally understood why he was acting so strangely. He was not here to attack the shelter but rather to cooperate with Oshima Reina. His eyes darkened, and the blade of the chakra sword in his hand reflected the light of the sun.
"Hatake Sakumo, I know your methods, but if you attack me rashly, she will definitely not survive." Oshima Reina smiled. Sakumo's eyes condensed, and he saw a fuse hanging on Oshima Reina's chest, and the other end of the fuse was wrapped around Kato Keika's waist. Hidden under her wide robe was a series of explosive tags. Even if he was fast, it was impossible to cut off the fuse instantly when the two were less than 20 centimeters apart. But if he attacked Oshima Reina, as long as the amplitude of his movement was slightly larger, it would pull the fuse and directly detonate the series of explosive tags wrapped around Kato Keika's waist. If that happened, she would definitely die.
