CH 222

Sato and Takayanagi stayed in a tavern. Although they were fast asleep, they still set up alarms inside and outside the room before going to bed, so they were awakened as soon as Kanpū approached.

“Sir? Why are you here?”

When the two woke up, they saw it was Aoi, and both looked surprised.

“I’m here to protect you!” A proud and arrogant smile appeared on the corner of Kanpū’s mouth.

“Sir is here to protect…” Sato and Takayanagi look at each other in shock, “What happened?”

Kanpū said solemnly: “The Konoha’s Shinobi I defeated before may have followed us into the Land of the Moon!”

Sato said: “Sir, there is only one person on the other side, we…”

“Shut up!”

Kanpū said with a proud and arrogant expression, “Do you think that Konoha’s Shinobi, who can fight with me for so long, can’t kill you? Don’t underestimate this Shinobi World!!!”

As he spoke, pieces of ice crystal snowflakes emerged from Kanpū’s body, spinning and moving around him without stopping.

“Sir, that’s not what I meant!” When Sato saw the Ice Release, he didn’t dare to refute.

Kanpū knew that he could not force too much, so he changed the subject: “How did it go?”

""

“Sir, it was very successful!” Sato said.

“The Land of the Moon only has one Prince, that Tsuki Michiru. The king knows that the full moon is in our hands and has agreed to exchange for ransom!” Takayanagi added from the side, “We plan to give him three days to raise the funds as planned! Three days later, we will do the trade!”

“Very good!”

Kanpū nodded, and then Aoi’s face showed a pondering look, and said, “During this period, in order to avoid the assassination of that Konoha’s Shinobi, we can’t stay here any longer! Let’s leave this place immediately!”

“Yes!”

Although Sato and Takayanagi felt that their Lord is weird, in front of Ice Release, they didn’t have the slightest doubt.

After that the group of three left the tavern, and within ten minutes, they left the Land of the Moon’s Kingdom.

The three came to a hillside, where you can overlook the entire Land of the Moon, and they could see the sea at the end of the island from afar. The scenery is very beautiful!

Kanpū then said: “I’m hungry, Takayanagi, go hunt some preys!”

“Yes!” Takayanagi answered, and then immediately got up and went down the hillside to the forest a few miles away to hunt for preys.

After he left, there were only two people left here, no, three people!

Kanpū, Sato, and the shadow clone who hides in the side with Transparent Release!

“Sato!”

Kanpū took out the sealing scroll, then took out an iron box and threw it over, “Look at what this is!”

“This is…”

Sato took the iron box and glanced at the iron lock on the iron box. He then took out a kunai directly, and fiercely broke the iron lock open.

Then, he opened the iron box, and in an instant, blue and red light suddenly poured out of the iron box.

“Gems!!!”

Sato was pleasantly surprised, “This is the Land of the Moon’s… Urgh!!!”

The joy on Sato’s face had not yet dissipated, but his figure froze there, staying motionless.

A faint trace of blood overflowed from his lower back, dripping to the ground in a flash.

“Sato?”

Kanpū rushed over with a whoosh and caught… the iron box that fell from Sato’s hands.

“Si, sir…” Sato’s pupils dilated, and he finally rolled his eyes, glorious death.

“Sato!!!”

Kanpū put the iron box on the ground, supported Sato’s body with grief and anger, roared up to the sky, his eye sockets are cracked. He then turned his head in red look around, “I know it’s you, come out, just come out!!”

The roar spread far and wide, and Takayanagi, who went hunting, heard the commotion here, so he immediately ran at a very fast speed, and at a glance, he saw the… corpse of his good friend Sato?

“Sir, what happened?” Takayanagi took out a kunai in disbelief.

“When I came here, I passed by the gem mine in the Land of the Moon and took an iron box from there. When I showed it to Sato, I didn’t expect…”

Kanpū gnashed his teeth, “It’s that Konoha’s Shinobi, he really followed us here! Damn it!!”

In anger, the snowflakes and ice crystals on Kanpū’s side whizzed, and the range gradually expanded!

“How could this be?”

Takayanagi was both shocked and angry. Before the Ice Release, he unreservedly chose to believe in his Lord’s words. He believed that Sato was assassinated by the Konoha’s Shinobi when he saw the iron box filled with gems!

Takayanagi came to Kanpū’s side and glanced at the gems in the iron box on the ground and also Sato’s corpse, and he suddenly felt that something is strange.

‘If Sato was assassinated while looking at the gems, the iron box would definitely fall down. How come it is so well placed on the ground now?’

As soon as the thought appeared, a sharp pain came from his chest.

Takayanagi raised his head in disbelief, and saw that his Lord was holding a kunai, and fiercely stabbed it into his heart!

“Si, sir… why, why…”

Puchi…

Seeing that he still has the energy to speak, Kanpū hurriedly slashed the kunai to the left and right.

With his mortal body, Takayanagi couldn’t bear this attack. At this time, his eyes rolled and followed Sato in death.

“Idiot, you almost revealed yourself!”

The shadow clone’s voice suddenly came from the side, and his tone was full of annoyance, “You should let the gems scattered all over the ground!”

“I did this on purpose, otherwise, how could Takayanagi be distracted?”

Kanpū said with an arrogant smile, “But I don’t blame you, after all, you’re just my shadow clone. There’s no need to feel inferior.”

The shadow clone rolled his eyes and didn’t want to look at him.

While speaking, Kanpū had already sealed the iron box and the corpse of Sato and Takayagi into the scroll.

In addition to the previous one that was killed by Kanpū in the gem mine’s camp, there are only three Kirigakure’s Shinobi left in on Crescent Moon Island.

‘Sure enough, assassination is the kingly way. The way of killing the enemy in one shot is so satisfying.’

Then, Kanpū discussed the script with the shadow clone. They first set the outline, and then wrote the detailed outline. After confirming that there are no flaws, Kanpū rushed back.

After a long time, ‘Aoi’ returned to the temporary camp of the Kirigakure’s Shinobi with a gloomy complexion.

“Sir, you’re back, what about Sato and the others?” The three Kirigakure’s Shinobi in the camp were already up, and when they saw Kanpū coming back alone, they were surprised.

“Damn it!”

‘Aoi’ stomped his feet heavily, and the ice crystals and snowflakes all over his body appeared again: ‘Look, I am Yuki Aoi, I am your Lord, what happened next, don’t you doubt me!’

“Sir, what happened?”

“Is that Konoha’s Shinobi really arrived at the Crescent Moon Island?”

The three Kirigakure’s Shinobi looked at ‘Aoi’ in shock.

‘Aoi’ said gloomily: “When we rushed to the Land of the Moon’s Kingdom, we did not find Sato and Takayanagi, so we went to look for him separately, and we agreed to meet at the gate of the palace after two hours regardless of whether we found them or not. However… I waited at the gate of the palace for an hour and didn’t see anyone!”

“What?”

“Could it be that Sato and the others have already…”

“What?”

‘Aoi’ continued: “I am worried that after Konoha’s Shinobi killed Sato and the others, he would come to our camp, so I rushed back immediately. Fortunately, you are all fine!”

When the three Kirigakure’s Shinobi heard their ‘Lord’ say this, their heart felt warm, and they suddenly felt that as long as their ‘Lord’ was there, that Konoha’s Shinobi wouldn’t be a problem!
