The Qingfeng sword was unsheathed, just in time to block a shuriken that was shot towards Qingyun at high speed. The shuriken hit the Qingfeng sword, making a crisp sound, and then fell to the ground.
After Qingyun blocked the shuriken, he focused his eyes and looked in the direction of the attack. He saw a masked ninja about 1.7 meters tall with black hair, holding a katana in his right hand and a little girl in his left hand. It was Kushina.
When Kushina saw Qingyun coming to save her, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she seemed to have been drugged by this masked ninja and could not speak for the time being.
"Who are you and why did you lead me here?"
Qingyun looked at the masked ninja's indifferent eyes and asked vigilantly.
"It seems that this little girl is very important to you. You knew that someone used the little girl to lure you here, but you still dared to come here alone?"
The masked ninja spoke in a hoarse voice, looking at Qingyun with interest.
Qingyun saw a playful look in the ninja's eyes, as if they were playing cat and mouse.
Qingyun's eyes flickered, and when he saw Kushina looking at him, he glanced at Kushina, then calmly shifted his gaze and said, "You think too much, this girl is just my classmate, I don't know her well.
I came here just to find out who dared to act so recklessly in the heart of Konoha Village."
After hearing Qingyun's words, Kushina's eyes flashed with despair, and tears as big as beans kept falling. She looked at Qingyun with dead eyes, who had an indifferent expression.
She didn't understand why Qingyun was like this. They were obviously friends, so why did Qingyun not care about her safety and say such cold and heartless words?
After hearing Qingyun's words, the masked ninja smiled faintly and said, "Since you say so, then this girl has no use value. She would be a burden to keep around. It would be better to kill her now."
As he said that, he raised the sword in his hand and slowly slashed towards Kushina's neck.
Kushina closed her eyes, as if accepting her fate.
Qingyun watched the masked ninja's sword slowly slashing towards Kushina, his heart tightened, and he held the Qingfeng sword tightly in his right hand.
"Damn it, it's such a long distance, there's no way to save Kushina instantly. Who is this person? What is his purpose?"
Qingyun thought angrily in his heart. Seeing the sword about to cut across Kushina's neck, Qingyun could no longer hold back and shouted: "Wait a minute, you won. She is my friend. Tell me, what do you want?"
After hearing Qingyun's words, the masked ninja stopped what he was doing, then slowly retracted his sword, looked at Qingyun and smiled faintly: "Haha, if you want me to let this girl go, you can, you can kill yourself, and I promise to send this girl back to the ninja school intact."
"don't want"
After hearing Qingyun's next words, Kushina suddenly opened his eyes.
It turned out that the reason why Qingyun said that before was not because he didn't care about him, but to paralyze this mysterious ninja.
After hearing the words of the masked ninja, Kushina gathered all his strength and shouted loudly.
Qingyun and the masked ninja ignored Kushina's shouts and looked at each other, watching each other's every move.
"Impossible, I don't believe you. If I kill myself and you don't let Kushina go, what can I do to you?"
Qingyun just wanted to delay time at this moment. As long as Namikaze Minato spread the news of Kushina's disappearance, given Kushina's value in Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely send a large number of ninjas to search for Kushina's whereabouts.
The masked ninja seemed to know Qingyun's plan and said indifferently: "You have no choice. Either you die or she dies."
As he said this, he raised the sword again and slowly slashed towards Kushina, forcing Qingyun to make a quick choice.
After seeing this scene, Qingyun's heart tightened, and his eyes were fixed on the masked ninja: "Wait, we don't trust each other, how about we both take a step back?"
"Oh? Tell me about it."
The masked ninja stopped what he was doing and asked Qingyun with interest.
"You release Kushina and let her go alone, I will stay and never run away.
With your strength, you shouldn't be afraid of a kid like me! And Kushina has been drugged by you, so she is weak and can't walk fast. The reinforcements won't come so fast, what do you think?"
Qing Yun stated his thoughts and looked at the masked ninja expectantly.
The masked ninja was startled when he heard this, then the corners of his mouth curled up under the black cloth, making the black cloth wrinkle: "Haha, it's a good suggestion, but I refuse."
As he said that, he swung the sword in his hand towards Kushina at high speed.
After seeing this scene, Qingyun's internal energy was running at a high speed, and he looked behind the masked ninja with surprise: "Grandpa Hokage, you are here, quickly kill this ninja, he has kidnapped Kushina."
After hearing Qingyun's words, the masked ninja saw Qingyun looking behind him with surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help but look back. However, there was nothing behind him. He immediately realized that he had been fooled, and quickly turned around to attack.
When Qingyun saw the masked ninja turn his head, the internal force that was running rapidly in his body suddenly exploded, and he used all his strength to perform the Golden Goose Skill and ran towards the masked ninja.
Coming close to the masked ninja, he fiercely slashed at the masked ninja's left hand with the Qingfeng sword. At the same time, he formed a seal with his left hand: "Fire Style, Great Fireball Technique."
The masked ninja realized that he had been tricked and turned around quickly, only to see a huge fireball attacking him. He quickly mobilized his Chakra, and a sharp aura appeared on his sword, and he split the fireball in half with one blow.
The Great Fireball was cut in half by the masked ninja, scattered on both sides and fell to the ground.
However, at this time, Qingyun had already arrived in front of the masked ninja and slashed at his left hand with the Qingfeng sword.
After the masked ninja cut off the Great Fireball, he saw Qingyun's figure and his pupils shrank. He had only two choices at this moment. One was to kill Qingyun at the cost of having his left hand seriously injured or even cut off.
Second, let go of Kushina and avoid Qingyun's attack.
The masked ninja made a quick decision, let go of Kushina, and then stepped back, while slashing towards Qingyun with his right sword.
Qingyun saw the masked ninja let go of Kushina, and he used his Golden Goose Kung Fu to his full strength, snatched Kushina and held her in his arms, while changing his moves and swung the Qingfeng sword across his body.
"bite"
The katana and the Qingfeng sword collided, and Qingyun retreated with the recoil force.
However, how could the masked ninja let Qingyun go? He flashed to Qingyun's side and slashed at Kushina in Qingyun's arms with the sword in his hand again.
Qingyun only felt a flash before his eyes, and the masked ninja was in front of him, and at the same time, he slashed at Kushina with his sword. At this time, Qingyun's moves were outdated and it was too late to change them. Qingyun had no choice but to try his best to change direction.
"Puff."
A blood arrow shot up into the sky.
Although Qingyun tried his best to change his body shape, the masked ninja's attack speed was too fast. Qingyun could not completely avoid his attack and could only use his body to block the opponent's attack.
After dodging the opponent's attack, Qingyun retreated at a high speed, and after leaving the masked ninja's attack range, he looked at the masked ninja vigilantly.
When Kushina saw Qingyun injured, tears kept rolling down her cheeks. However, she could do nothing at this moment. For the first time, she felt the importance of strength.
"Kushina, can you still walk?"
Qing Yun stared at the masked ninja and asked Kushina.
"able."
Kushina said weakly.
Qingyun nodded slowly after hearing this, and let go of Kushina. Then he told Kushina: "I will hold him back later, you leave here as soon as possible and look for support, understand?"
"But..."
Kushina didn't want to leave after hearing this, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qingyun: "Kushina, listen, you can't do anything here, and you will become the target of the enemy's attack. You leave and find support. Only in this way can we all survive."
Upon hearing this, Kushina secretly hated herself for being so weak, but the situation was critical at the moment and she couldn't become a burden to Qingyun, so she nodded heavily.
Qingyun was relieved to see Kushina agreed to his plan. He slowly walked to Kushina, activated his internal energy, and shouted: "Let's go!"
After saying that, without waiting for Kushina to reply, he used the Golden Goose Technique and attacked the masked ninja again.
Kushina saw Qingyun attacking the masked ninja with all her might, and she held back her tears and ran to the back.
However, her body was too weak and she fell to the ground after only a few steps.
Kushina ignored the scratches on her body caused by the gravel, and she stood up with all her might and started running again!
She knew that Qingyun could only survive if she found support as quickly as possible.
On the other side, Qingyun used the Golden Goose Skill to dodge the opponent's attacks while activating the Quanzhen sword technique to tightly entangle the masked ninja.
