Chapter 41: Ch. 41. Many crises. [2]
At this time, Yamanaka Fu was running wildly in the forest, passing through the woods, and soon came to a cave.
This cave is the bandit's lair.
However, the bandits in the cave had long been eliminated and the bodies had been disposed of.
Yamanaka Fu quickly entered the cave and didn't go far when he saw a woman who had fainted on the ground.
It was Mizuki's fiancée, Tsubaki.
Yamanaka Fu:
- "Plans A, B, and C all failed, so we can only use Plan D."
He helped Tsubaki sit up against the wall, then he sat in front of Tsubaki and raised his hands:
- "[Mind Transfer Puppet Curse Technique]."
There is no possibility of failure when performing the mind-transfering technique on an unconscious person.
The next moment, Yamanaka Fu's consciousness successfully entered Tsubaki's mind.
He controlled Tsubaki's body, stood up and walked out of the cave, heading towards Mizuki.
Soon, the two met in the forest.
Mizuki was stunned:
- "Tsubaki?"
- "How will you be here?"
But then, he realized that this was probably a [Transformation Technique].
Tsubaki:
- "Mizuki-kun, I finally see you. Come on, there are three Root-ninjas here, and they are here to kill you."
With that said, she rushed over to hold Mizuki's hand.
Mizuki sneered:
- "You are so small, but you also want to deceive me!"
With a horizontal kick, the unprepared Tsubaki was kicked out. He fell to the ground with a groan and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Mizuki widened his eyes and said in surprise:
- "You...you are really Tsubaki?"
The [Transformation Technique] allows you to transform into someone else. If you are injured and your chakra is disordered, you will return to your original form.
The Tsubaki in front of him hit him in the foot and even vomited blood, but he didn't change.
This shows that this Tsubaki is real. But here comes the question, why is Tsubaki here?
Tsubaki:
- "Mizuki-kun, I heard the news that the Sandaime-sama and Danzo-sama wanted to kill you, and they also sent three Root jounin. So I defected from the village and wanted to come to inform you. Who knew that I was met by the Root on the way and captured? Got here."
- "They tied me up in a cave and wanted to use me as a hostage to force you to commit suicide."
- "The three Root-ninjas were not around just now, so I took the opportunity to break the rope and ran out."
- "Come on, those three are all Jonin, you are no match for them. Let's leave quickly and escape from the Land of Fire."
There were no loopholes in Tsubaki's words. After listening to this, Mizuki had already let go of his doubts.
In fact, he was very moved.
As his fiancée, he would rather defect than save himself.
If you get a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?
Mizuki:
- "Don't worry, those three Root-ninjas are no match for me. I have already killed two of them. There is one left, wait until I finish him off."
He walked over, stretched out his hand to pull Tsubaki up, and helped him sit under the tree.
Mizuki:
- "I'm very sorry. I thought it was Yamanaka Fu who transformed into you through a [Transformation Technique], so..."
Tsubaki said hurriedly:
- "I understand, Mizuki-kun, you don't have to blame yourself."
Tsubaki's understanding made Mizuki very happy.
Then he sighed and said:
- "You shouldn't do this, but it's my fault for not telling you my strength and making you worry."
- "By the way, how did you know that Sandaime and Danzo wanted to kill me?" Mizuki asked casually.
Logically speaking, how could Sandaime let the news leak out about such a confidential matter?
Tsubaki said:
- "It's Iruka. He overheard the news in the Hokage Tower and came to tell me."
Mizuki's heart skipped a beat.
Something's wrong!
With Iruka's rubbish strength, he could hear the conversation between Sandaime and Danzo in the Hokage Tower filled with ANBU?
Besides, Iruka is a staunch Hokage and obeys Sandaime's advice. Even if he knew that Sandaime wanted to kill him, he would never directly tell Tsubaki the news. At most, he would mention it in a vague way for the sake of friendship.
Mizuki realized that there was something wrong with Tsubaki's explanation.
Mizuki immediately guessed:
- "Could it be that she was also ordered to kill me?".
At the same time, "Tsubaki" who was sitting under the tree noticed that Mizuki's expression was not right, and immediately realized that he had been exposed.
Tsubaki:
- "Mizuki-kun, it feels so uncomfortable to sit like this. Please help me lie down in the open space over there."
Although Mizuki was suspicious, he didn't make any immediate move.
He came to Tsubaki, lifted her up, and walked towards the clearing.
At this moment, Tsubaki's feet twisted, he exclaimed, and his hands quickly hugged Mizuki's waist.
Mizuki scolded:
- "What are you doing?".
He already had doubts about Tsubaki, and now any action by Tsubaki made him nervous.
Tsubaki:
- "No, it's nothing. I twisted my foot."
Tsubaki explained, and at the same time, her hands were tightly kneaded together, tightly binding Mizuki's waist.
A "hissing" sound came from Tsubaki's back.
How could Mizuki not recognize this familiar voice? It was clearly the explosive tag.
Mizuki:
- "Damn it, she's going to die with me."
He grabbed Tsubaki's arm and tried to open it, but Tsubaki's held on tightly and couldn't open it for a while.
The explsoive tag is about to explode!
Now using [Substition Technique: Displacement] has no effect. In other words, he will displacement with Tsubaki.
Even if he used it, he couldn't get rid of Tsubaki.
Tsubaki:
- "Mizuki, die together with your fiancée."
This tone is not her at all.
Mizuki:
- "Hateful!"
- "Yamanaka Fu, you are so vicious. She did not let the village down, but you used her as bait."
- "You have to die!"
At the critical moment, a kunai appeared in Mizuki's hand, a cold light flashed, and Tsubaki's right hand was cut off.
Mizuki broke free from the restraints and pushed Tsubaki's body away:
- [Substitution Technique: Displacement]!
