When Yuya turned his head, he seemed to see the firmness between Rock Lee's brows and the "burning fire" blazing in his eyes, as if it were the prayer: Where the leaves fly, the will of fire is infinite!
There is a reason why Konoha Village can become the strongest of the Five Great Ninja Villages. The younger generation like Rock Lee has become the successor of the will of fire, so why be afraid of not having talent?
For the rescue of Tsuruta Yoshihide, Kakashi has made careful arrangements. Yuya and Anko are in the light, while Kakashi and Gai are in the dark, depending on the situation.
"Brat Yuya, when the other party releases Yoshihide Tsuruta, watch me make gestures." Anko instructed Yuya carefully, kept her playful smile and put on a serious face.
Yuya held the money box that was almost half full with huge sums of money, nodded seriously and said, "Understood!"
The agreed location in the letter was in a dense forest three or four kilometers away from Takayama Jinya. When Yuya and Anko appeared together, Hidan yawned and jumped off the tree with his right hand intertwined. With hair that was combed close to the skin, he said savagely, "What? The infamous Konoha Village sent a Jōnin and a Genin to redeem the mission. Tsk tsk, Tsuruta Yoshihide, I seriously suspect that your father sent a fake S-rank."
"No..."
Tsuruta Yoshihide was very embarrassed, and then he hung on Hidan's sickle, his mouth and tongue were also gagged by a piece of cloth, and he struggled constantly, groaning, very miserable.
When Yuya, who was motionless, saw the appearance of the person clearly and heard the arrogant voice, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!"
Big gray hair on the back, pale purple pupils with evil spirits, forehead protector worn around the neck like Hyūga Hinata, and there is also a collar taught by Evil God hanging from the neck, typical white hair.
Who else could this crazy bastard be?
But Hidan from Akatsuki.
If Hidan was there, then Kakuzu should also be nearby. Why did these two people start stealing so blatantly? Wasn't the organization supposed to pretend to be harmless in these times? Yuya thought with his heavy breathing.
Anko was also surprised when Hidan suddenly appeared. She noticed the breath of Tsuruta Yoshihide, who was struggling in the distance a moment ago, but did not feel the knight who was standing in front of her.
The opponent's strength is above hers! During a face-to-face meeting, Anko already understood this fact, the corners of her mouth twisted and she held back her temper against the other party's provocation and said, "If it's just for redeeming someone, a Jōnin and a Genin are enough. Besides, we brought the money, enough sincerity. I just don't know if your sincerity is enough too."
Kakashi and Gai, who were hiding in a large tree, looked at each other and were a little surprised in their hearts.
"Kakashi... the opponent's strength..." Gai furrowed his brows and asked in a low voice.
Quickly lifting his forehead protector to reveal the Sharingan, Kakashi responded to Gai without squinting his eyes, "Unfathomable, it shouldn't be below you and me."
Gai remained silent for a while, still watching the situation below. According to Anko's assumption, this is really an S-rank mission. Because if the kidnapping this time is a team crime, generally, the people who are clear are a little weaker. Like on their side, Anko and Yuya are clean.
Standing on the top of a huge Bengal fig tree fifty meters away, Kakuzu looked at Hidan and the other two facing off below, and couldn't help but sarcastically laugh.
Too weak, it's really not enough to look at. Shaking his head, he originally thought that a few powerful elite ninja would come out of an S-rank mission, but now it seems that one big and one small, one male and one female, are nothing more than mere chickens. In this way, there is no need for him to take action, Hidan can handle it himself.
Furthermore, after hearing Anko's words, Hidan immediately turned around and exposed the young master of the Tsuruta family who was behind him to the two.
He was not afraid of Yuya at all. Anko and the two suddenly launched an attack, pointing their right thumbs behind them, and said, "Tsk tsk, do you think my sincerity is not enough? I just brought this annoying brat here!"
Anko: "..."
Yuya: "..."
Sighing, Yuya felt that he had to deliver the money in this box. He thought it was an "fake" S-rank mission sent by a local rich man, but the facts are too real. He didn't expect to encounter two bosses on his first mission outside the village. This script is going too far... At this point, everything will be fine if Tsuruta Yoshihide is replaced. After all, the goal of this mission is to save him. This money was originally used by Tsuruta Yilang to save his son, so there is no need to regret it.
Looking at the trembling body of Tsuruta Yoshihide, Anko also had a headache and then said, "Since you're doing it for money, then don't say anything else, give us the brat and I'll give you the money."
When Hidan turned around, a bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he let it go and said, "Tch, I thought there would be a blood-soaked battle. I didn't expect it to be two cowards. Alright, come here, give me the money and I'll give you the brat."
"Alright," Anko nodded sharply, then approached Yuya and said in a low voice, "Give it to me."
"Weren't you agreeing to go?" Yuya looked at Anko with a confused expression.
Anko lightly tapped Yuya's forehead with her index finger and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of being tricked, I just care about you~ Give it to me quickly and finish this mission."
"Okay." After hearing this, Yuya understood immediately, knowing that Anko had good intentions, he immediately handed over the cash box and couldn't help but raise his head and say, "Be careful."
"Understood, kid, you're annoying." When Anko took the cardboard box, she made a gesture to hit him, but it was dodged.
The substitution stage went smoothly and Hidan really didn't want to cause too much trouble. Pain has repeatedly emphasized the need to keep a low profile. If he breaks the rules with Kakuzu, it wouldn't be good to face his wrath.
After taking Tsuruta Yoshihide from Hidan, Anko first tore off the cloth from his mouth, then cut the rope tied to his body with a kunai, quickly lifted him up, and told Yuya not far away, "Go!"
"Got it!"
