Chapter 67 The Sorrow of Red Sand
It turned out that Hatake Sakumo had already held his breath when Akasaki had just thrown the gas bomb.
At the same time, this also distracted Chisha Yimu and relaxed his control of the puppet.
In addition, the poisonous smoke obscured the vision, so Hatake Sakumo was able to avoid the remaining puppets and carry out the decapitation operation on Akashayiki.
Unfortunately, Chisha Yimu escaped in the end due to Chisha Yueyue's obstruction.
But for this, the price paid by the other party is not low.
His wife's serious injury also made Akasa Imu even more unable to take care of him, so Hatake Sakumo took the opportunity again and injured him too.
"Everyone, retreat!"
By now, Akasayamu no longer cares about Sunagakure's failure or not. The most important thing is to save his wife's life.
He didn't even bother recycling the remaining puppets.
The two leaders were instantly seriously injured, and the remaining ninjas of Sunagakure panicked.
After hearing the sound of "retreat", they immediately collectively protected Akashayimu and his wife and retreated in the direction they came from.
"Everyone, chase!"
Of course, Hatake Sakumo will not let go of this good opportunity. Now is the most critical time.
Between chasing and escaping, the number of ninjas on Sunagakure's side was constantly decreasing.
However, there is no other way to deal with the current situation. If we don't escape, more people will be left behind.
"Yimu, put me down and leave quickly." Chisha Liuyue, who was held in Chisha Yimu's arms, said weakly.
Whether it was Chisha Liuyue or Chisha Yimu, they were covered in blood now, and it was hard to tell who belonged to them.
"No, June, I will take you back. Didn't we agree to teach the scorpion puppet technique together?" Chisha Yimu said with tears of blood as he looked at his wife whose voice was gradually weakening.
Akshay Imu now regrets that he did not retreat immediately after confirming that the number of ninjas in Konoha was greater than he thought.
Otherwise, my wife would not be seriously injured and dying.
Chisha June was about to continue persuading her husband, but when she opened her mouth, a mouthful of blood gushes out of her throat again.
"It seems that we can't go back." Chishayimu said sadly when he saw this scene.
Sunagakure has been defeated, and the lives of himself and his wife may also be in danger, so the only option left is to minimize all losses.
Chishayimu stopped escaping because his wife could no longer bear the bumps.
"You go, I will stay behind." Akasayamu said firmly to a Sunagakure jounin next to him.
"But, Lord Imu, what should you do?" Sunagakure Jonin hesitated and asked.
"Oh, it was my wrong leadership that brought Sunagakure into this situation. I have no shame in going back to Sunagakure, let alone..." Akasayamu glanced at his wife who had fainted, with a bitter look on his face. replied.
In the end, the Sunagakure jounin left with the other Sunagakure troops.
"Akashayimu, surrender, you have no way out."
Hatake Sakumo, who was catching up, looked at Akasaki who was left alone in the rear, and carefully tried to persuade him to surrender.
After all, a dog will jump over the wall when he is anxious, let alone a dying person.
"Hatake Sakumo, I have to admit that I underestimated you, and we, Sunagakure, underestimated Konoha, but it is impossible for me to surrender!" Akasaki replied firmly.
Their family was in Sunagakure and had been trusted and relied upon by the Kazekage of all generations. They would never do such an act of surrendering in order to survive.
His mother and son are still in Sunagakure, and he surrendered. What will they do?
"It's useless to talk more. Come on, you will be buried with me and June!" Akashayimu suddenly threw the four prepared poison gas bombs at Konoha.
"No, everyone, get out of here!"
Hatake Sakumo noticed Akasaki's actions immediately, and then immediately ordered the Konoha ninja following him to retreat.
After doing all this, Chishayimu jumped off the cliff with his wife in his arms.
And under the cliff is a rapid river.
"Boom"
The sound of water splashing sounded, and the figures of Chisha Yimu and Chisha Liuliu disappeared into the water. The water surface was filled with traces of blood, and they drifted down the river.
"What a respectable opponent."
After the poisonous smoke was blown away, Hatake Sakumo looked at the river where Akasa Imu and Akasa Yuki had disappeared, and couldn't help but sigh.
They couldn't catch up with the Sunagakure ninjas who were escaping in front.
Both Chishayimu and his wife were seriously injured. In this case, jumping into the river would basically mean death.
Akasa Yuki was pierced through the abdomen by the spear that Hatake Sakumo took from the puppet, and Akasa Imu was also pierced through the left shoulder blade by the White Fang dagger.
They had been running away for so long and now they jumped into the river again.
There was no time to take emergency measures to stop the bleeding. He lost too much blood and even died from the bleeding.
"Now it depends on how many enemies we have arranged for the Duansha Hidden Ninja's retreat to stop." Hatake Sakumo murmured.
This time, there were more than 500 Sunagakure ninjas who escaped.
But on the way to escape, they were constantly blocked by Aangji and other Konoha ninjas.
It can be said that when this battle is over, there will definitely not be many ninjas who can truly return to Sunagakure.
After dealing with another Sunagakure ninja who wanted to pass by him, Hinata Souji showed a look of contemplation on his face.
"Why haven't I seen Sunagakure Akasa Imu and Akasa Ryuuki couple? Could it have been solved by Sakumo-sama?" Aangji thought in his mind.
Yes, Aangji actually has no interest in taking action against these little minions.
Hatake Sakumo's arrangement for all the Konoha ninjas who had cut off their retreat at that time was to first intercept the couple Akasa Imu and Akasa Yuki.
However, the other party was left alone and jumped into the river.
This was something Hatake Sakumo never expected, and it was also something that the Konoha ninja who had lost his way out didn't know.
Suddenly, Aangji seemed to have thought of something.
"The river next to it?"
It can only be said that it was a mistake. The whimsical Hinata Aoji thought of something that other Konoha ninjas failed to notice.
Then, Aangji said hello to captain Kurama Yakumo and jumped directly from the cliff next to him.
For Hinata Aoji, who has now reached the level of Kage, this kind of running on cliffs is really child's play.
After arriving at the bottom of the cliff, Aangji stepped on the river and walked all the way up.
After walking for a while, I still didn't see anyone.
"Did I miss it by going down the river before I came down?" Aangji muttered.
Aangji planned to find another one or two kilometers and then go back.
"Well, there's water damage there."
Just when Aangji thought he was thinking too much, a new pool of water stains beside the river in front attracted Aangji's attention.
Along the water stains, Aangji found a large rock.
The water damage breaks off abruptly here.
"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh"
Aangji opened his white eyes and was about to search, when three or four shurikens were shot towards Aangji's position from behind the rock in front.
"Ice Escape-Ice Spear!"
Aangji quickly formed a seal, and then he saw an ice spear about 1.5 meters in the air condensing on Aangji's right side.
Holding the ice gun, a trace of cold air passed through the ice gun to Aangji's hand.
I don’t know if it’s because he has awakened the Ice Escape, but he has a natural affection for Ice and Snow Aangji.
And no matter how low the temperature of the ice gun is, it will not cause harm to Aangji himself.
"铿铿铿"
The flying kunai were blocked by Aangji with his ice spear.
The surface of the ice gun is still as smooth as a mirror, without any pits, which shows how hard the ice gun is.
"Who, come out!" Aangji held the ice gun and pointed it diagonally at the ground and said loudly.
Through the power transmitted by kunai, Aangji had a rough estimate of the opponent's strength, so he was not timid at all.
However, what greeted Aangji was a swift black shadow.
"Shua"
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air came, and Aangji tilted his head slightly and dodged.
Then, Aangji saw a puppet tiger appearing in front of him.
"Puppet master, so are you Akasaki Imu or Akasaka Yuki?" Aangji asked the person behind the big rock.
"Did you not expect that a Konoha ninja would be chasing you so soon? Ahem, cough, cough."
A feeling of weakness accompanied by the sound of coughing reached Aangji's ears.
Chisha Yimu, covered in blood, walked out from behind the rock while holding Chisha Liuyue, who was also covered in blood and had expired.
Through the opened white eyes, Aangji can clearly say that Akisa Yuki is dead.
Moreover, Akashayimu's condition won't last long.
Seeing how the two of them looked now, Aangji also slightly put down the ice gun in his hand.
"No wonder I haven't seen you passing by on the cliff. It turns out that I was seriously injured by Lord Sakumo and fell off the cliff." Aangji could only speculate based on the current situation.
Although it is still a little different from the reality, it is not too different.
One was knocked down, and the other jumped down on his own initiative. Anyway, they both fell down.
"What? Hatake Sakumo also arranged for ninjas to block us?" Akasaki Imu was suddenly startled and asked in disbelief.
"Well, ever since you arranged for Tsunade-sama to lead a large number of wounded people out of River Country, you Sunagakure have fallen into Sakumo-sama's plan." Aoji directly confirmed this.
There is nothing hard to say. It is impossible for Akasayamu to leave here alive. Aangji is very confident about this.
"So that's it. What a terrifying opponent." Chishayimu also gave up.
I originally thought that sacrificing myself would preserve the fire for Sunagakure, but I didn't expect that this fire would be extinguished by the cruel facts in front of me.
"Originally, I wanted to end my life quietly here with June, but now it seems that we can't do it. But even so, I will not let our bodies fall into the hands of your Konoha easily."
After saying that, Akashayimu gritted his teeth and continued to control his last remaining tiger-shaped puppet and launched an attack on Aangji.
The wound was still bleeding, but Chishayimu couldn't care less.
Aangji looked at the tiger-shaped puppet flying toward him with sharp blades on its limbs, showing no intention of moving.
"laugh"
The ice spear passed through the head of the tiger puppet, and then Aangji exerted a little force.
The entire puppet shattered into pieces with a "crash".
Akasa Imu moved the index finger of his right hand slightly, and the left forelimb of the tiger-shaped puppet, which had been scattered on the ground, continued to grab Aangji.
With a "pop", Aangji directly grabbed the puppet's forelimb with his free left hand, and the sharp blade was less than five centimeters away from Aangji's right eye.
"It still doesn't work. God is really blessing you Konoha. Whether it's your Hyuga clan or that Uchiha brat who just awakened the three magatama, they are all enviable talents."
Seeing that his last counterattack was also seen through by Aangji, Akasaki said with bitterness in his mouth.
"Are you talking about Uchiha En? I didn't expect that he actually awakened the three magatama." Aangji heard Akasayamu talk about it, and he was also happy for Uchiha En.
"In addition, I want to say that during my Byakugan observation, I can clearly see the part where the chakra line on your hand is connected to the puppet!" Aangji explained to Akasaki, who was about to lose his life in front of him.
After launching the final attack, due to excessive blood loss and soaking in the river for so long, even if the left shoulder blade was not fatally injured, he could no longer hold on.
"June, I'm here to accompany you. And, mother, I'll leave it to you to take care of Xie."
Chishayimu, with a pale face, stretched out his hand to touch his wife's cold cheek, and whispered feebly.
After saying this, Chisha Yi bowed his head and died.
At this point, the two leaders of Sunagakure who launched a surprise attack on Konoha this time, Akasha Imu and Akasha Yuki, both died in front of Aangji.
