After Mizuki left Konoha, he walked straight east along the road, not too fast nor too slow.
But his spirit remained tense.
There may be traps on the road ahead, and there may be ambushes in the woods nearby.
It is a matter of life and death, and we must not relax.
It would take at least five or six days to walk from Konoha to the border.
The first day passed quickly without any attack on Mizuki. At night, he stayed in a town he was passing through, and the night was also uneventful.
Then the second day, the third day...
Until the sixth day, when he arrived at the village where the mission to exterminate the bandits was issued, there were no accidents on the way.
Mizuki:
- "It seems that they are waiting for me on the mountain."
After entering the village, Mizuki found the village chief, revealed his identity, and asked where the bandits were.
Village Chief:
- "Mizuki-kun, it's getting late today, and you've traveled a long way here. Let's talk about the mission tomorrow."
- "The village has prepared fine wine and food. You can enjoy a meal, have a good sleep, and be refreshed, which will help you go up the mountain tomorrow."
He was very polite.
After experiencing being drunk by Tsubaki with medicinal wine, Mizuki became more cautious and never drank alcohol:
- "No need to go to such trouble. The village chief told me directly about the bandits. I will wipe them out tonight."
Soon, Mizuki learned the general situation on the mountain from the village chief.
This group of bandits, numbering around twenty, are all ordinary people and there are no ninjas.
Logically speaking, ordinary bandits don't need Konoha's ninjas to exterminate them.
But in fact, the government sent officers and soldiers to the mountain several times, but nothing could be done against these bandits.
The main thing is that the mountain is surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and bandits climb up and down with the help of ropes hanging from the cliffs.
As soon as the officers and soldiers came, the bandits pulled the rope up, and the officers and soldiers naturally couldn't climb up.
Mizuki:
- "Understood, I'll go up the mountain and wait for my news."
The sun has set and the sky is getting dark.
After Mizuki left the village, the village chief immediately lit a bonfire in the open space of the village.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Mizuki looked up and saw that the mountain was surrounded by cliffs, making it difficult for ordinary people to climb.
But this is all trivial to a ninja.
He put his feet on the cliff and walked up step by step.
Like walking on flat ground.
Mizuki was already ready:
- "Should we take action!"
The next moment, he heard a "hissing" sound.
This familiar voice, without even looking, it's a explosive tags, and it has been activated.
Looking along the sound, I found the location of the explosive tags, just three meters to the left.
At this distance, the power of the explosion is not enough to injure him, but the shock wave generated by the explosion will cause him to become unstable and even fly up.
This is a cliff, not flat ground.
If it slips at any moment, it may fall, let alone fly.
Mizuki turned his head hurriedly, looking for the target of [Substitution Technique: Displacement].
But before he could find it, he heard a "boom" and the explosive tags exploded.
The powerful shock wave immediately knocked Mizuki's body away, and his feet immediately left the cliff.
It was hundreds of meters above the ground. If he fell, his whole body would be completely shattered, his internal organs would burst, and his brain would explode.
Damn it!
Of course, this is for ordinary people.
Mizuki reacted quickly. Two streams of chakra erupted from the spring hole under his feet, forming a strong wind. A recoil force pushed him back to the cliff, and he firmly grasped a protruding rock with both hands.
After more than half a month of practice, although the [Rhytm of God Technique] is still not as good as an arm, let alone flying in the air. But like just now, it's okay to have a short emergency.
Standing on the cliff again, Mizuki became more cautious.
He scanned the surrounding area with his eyes, checking whether there were any explosive tags around him.
At this moment, two hands stretched out from the cliff rocks and grabbed his ankles:
[Earth Style: Headhunter Technique]!
The ground beneath Mizuki's feet suddenly softened and he was pulled into the rock, leaving only his head exposed.
A masked Root-ninja emerged from the cliff:
- "Your mobility has been restricted, and you cannot do the connecting seal with both hands. According to Danzo-sama's instructions, you can die."
The opponent held a kunai and drew towards Mizuki's throat.
Mizuki smiled and said:
- "It seems that Danzo still doesn't know how the Root-ninja died before."
It seems that [Substitution Technique: Displacement] has not been exposed yet.
