Chapter 40 Killing (Two in One)
When Kakashi and others found Ning Qi, he was sitting on a branch looking down at everyone, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
On the ground was the broken body of Uchiha Fugaku, the leader of the Uchiha clan.
This powerful ninja who had endured all his life and only today suddenly raised the banner of rebellion across Uchiha and blocked half of Konoha by himself, died in a particularly tragic manner.
Only the head that rolled down at the feet of everyone, although the eye sockets were empty, still had a calm and slightly mocking smile on its face.
Many people frowned.
"The masked man actually let you go." Ning Qi glanced at Kakashi.
"Ning Qi... did you lead us to Uchiha Madara last night just to let him kill me?" Kakashi took a deep breath and asked, but his eyes were watching for traps around him.
He didn't know what Ning Qi was up to, but since he dared to wait here alone instead of turning around and running away, wouldn't he and others dare to take action?
After confirming that there were no arrangements around, several figures in the darkness slowly walked around behind Ning Qi.
"No, the main reason I led you here is because I don't want him to stop my plan. The purpose of using his hands to kill you is just to weaken Konoha." Ning Qi patted his butt, stood up and said lightly.
The shade of the trees blocked the starlight, and Ning Qi's entire upper body was shrouded in shadow, but those white eyes shone brightly in the darkness.
"Your plan?" Kakashi narrowed his eyes. His companions were surrounding him. He needed to delay it as long as possible, so he asked in passing, "Is it to destroy the entire Hyuga clan?"
Kakashi already knows the tragic situation of the Hyuga clan. Although the culprit is still under investigation, after events such as Ning Qi snatching the Sharingan and attacking Danzo, the true identity of the murderer has actually been pointed to very clearly. Kakashi thought that this ninja who was separated from the Hinata family was close to crazy.
"Strictly speaking, my goal is only to gain freedom, and the destruction of the Hyuga clan is an indirect means to achieve this goal - as long as there is no longer a Hyuga clan that holds secret orders, the so-called caged bird is just a beautiful tattoo. ”
Ning Qi smoothed her hair back, revealing the cyan pattern on her forehead, with a warm smile.
Like an adolescent showing off his favorite toy to his friends.
Everyone's expressions suddenly darkened.
The soft sound of the long knife cutting through the evening wind vibrated slightly in the forest.
Perhaps because the ends of his hair were soaked with sweat, Ning Qi's hairstyle that originally fell between his brows was stuck to the side of his face, making his face that was originally full of elegant and scholarly look suddenly become a bit stern and carefree at this moment.
Although they had long realized that the truth was probably right in front of them, when they heard Ning Qi admit it personally, the expressions of those people under the tree who were Ning Qi's seniors or colleagues were still full of astonishment, and their eyes changed when they looked at Ning Qi. It has to be a little strange, absurd, and...incomprehensible.
For freedom, kill your relatives...
Kakashi shook his head.
With his eyebrows flickering, his gaze towards Ning Qi had become extremely dangerous.
His voice was cold:
"So... the rebellion of the Uchiha clan has something to do with you, right? And that Uchiha Madara is not actually a foreign aid to the Uchiha clan?"
As if he was introducing a carefully crafted piece of art to his guests, Ning Qi's smile was still gentle, but his tone was slightly raised:
“Things are universally connected.”
"I want to destroy the Hyuga clan, but I don't want to die together, so naturally I can't just consider the Hyuga clan, but also weaken Konoha. The best way to weaken Konoha is to cause internal unrest in Konoha, so the rebellion of the Uchiha clan is inevitable It must be done, as for the Kyuubi, that is the result of the Uchiha clan’s own subjective initiative and has nothing to do with me.”
Although releasing the Kyuubi, even in the original plot, is the only choice the Uchiha clan can make.
He didn't explain more, but people here already knew very well that all the disasters that happened in Konoha today were indistinguishable from the bastard in front of him.
The surrounding ninjas were slowly getting closer and closer to Ning Qi.
"How did you do it?" Someone asked, not sure whether he was diverting Ning Qi's attention or really wanted to solve the problem from Ning Qi's mouth.
"As soon as I think about getting rid of the Zong family's control, not only can I strike, but I can even use the sword faster." Ning Qi's mouth curled up slightly, teasing the other party.
The knife is faster?
...this beast.
"Are you really Ning Qi?" Xirihong looked at Ning Qi and couldn't help but ask.
The relationship between Yuhi Hong and the Hyuga family has always been good. For Ning Qi, a genius who came out of the Hyuga family, she also has the same kind of expectations and recognition for the younger generation. Even if Ning Qi's promotion speed is too fast, she They all also want Ning Qi to be the first genin student they will be responsible for teaching after their promotion.
Although the teacher-student relationship has not been established, Ning Qi's love for illusions that he showed not long ago, and his diligent and progressive mentality of working tirelessly to explore different mechanisms of illusions every day, still make Yuri Hong quite appreciate it. .
Ning Qi is already a complete genius, but he can still work so hard, which makes Yuhi Hong an excellent example that can be used to inspire other students.
In the process of arriving just now, even though Kakashi has repeatedly stated that Ning Qi is very dangerous now, and has even betrayed Konoha, the real murderer who destroyed the Hyuga clan is Ning Qi... but Yuhi Kurenai is still there. There is a glimmer of hope in my heart.
However……
Xirihong raised her head and looked at the gentle smile on Ning Qi's familiar face, and felt particularly unreal.
That introverted and taciturn, that eager to learn, that friendly smiling Ning Qi... could he really be capable of such a dehumanizing villain?
Can anyone really switch between truth and fiction so freely?
"The method of distinguishing true from false between illusion and reality is what you taught me before, Teacher Hong...Why, you can't tell the difference now?" Ning Qi responded with a smile.
Does this mean that what is in front of you is the real him, and the Ning Qi who was once is just a disguise of human nature similar to illusion?
The former sincere and humble Ning Qi, who followed behind him in order to learn illusions, and the blushing teacher's green face came to mind again.
I don't know whether I am disappointed or annoyed that such a beautiful young man has passed away.
Yuhi Hong lowered her eyes, her hand holding the kunai was trembling.
Although the news of the genocide of the Hyuga clan has begun to spread among a small number of people, confidentiality is still strict. Shikaku did not allow others to enter the Hyuga family head's mansion. They were unable to witness the situation at the scene, but only what was reported in the letter. The word "genocide" is enough to describe the brutality inside.
Her voice was suppressed:
"I don't care if it's an illusion or reality. I just hope that when this kunai is inserted into your heart, you can have a more real touch."
More real than reality?
Ning Qi smiled lightly: "That may disappoint you."
The evening wind in June blew through the forest, and the green fragrance of wild grass flowed through the nose, while insects clung to the tree trunks and screamed.
The green leaves fell, as if a foot stepped on them gently, making a "squeak" sound and breaking the veins of the leaves.
"Now!" Kakashi shouted suddenly.
Dark shadows streaked across the night sky.
The next moment.
Ning Qi, who was standing proudly on the branch, suddenly felt pain, and then lowered his head blankly, only to see two large knives piercing his body from the abdomen!
The blood continued to flow outwards, and there was no way to stop it with my hands.
Chain·Double Fang Slash!
"You are too careless, Ning Qi." Gang Zitie said in Ning Qi's ear, then grinned and shouted:
"Izumo, call it a day, don't let him die!"
"Just listening to what this bastard said made my lungs explode."
"We must put him in the torture department alive and torture him properly!"
Seeing Ning Qi turning his head with an unbelievable expression, Gang Zitie became even more proud. He smiled and said:
"You can save some energy and say what you want to say back to the torture department."
"...Hurry...Run..." Ning Qi's voice seemed vague, and for some reason, Gang Zitie felt very familiar.
He turned to look at the open space under the tree, and saw Kakashi and everyone else looking at him with shocked faces. Yuhi Hong was still shouting something at him, but Gangzitie didn't hear anything.
The world seemed to have fallen into a sea of silence.
But the transmitted sound is still floating in the water.
Gangzitie watched all this blankly.
It wasn't until Ning Qi's figure suddenly appeared behind Yuhi Hong, and the falling long sword was blocked by Kakashi who reacted desperately, that Gangzi Tie suddenly realized what he was doing.
——If it was Ning Qi who was standing there, then who was the person next to him who was pierced by the double-fang slash?
Gang Zitie seemed to have noticed something, and turned his head blankly, only to see Ning Qi in front of him, who had turned into his good partner Shenyue Izuyun at some point. His sword penetrated Izumo's abdomen.
how so?
The two detonating charms attached to Izumo's body were about to explode. Izumo endured the pain and shouted: "...Run!!"
Then he reached out his hand and pushed Gangzitie hard!
boom! !
A violent explosion sounded, and pieces of meat splashed all over Gang Zi Tie's body. He was thrown away by the huge impact of the explosion, and rolled into the jungle, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
And outside the world where steel and iron are blinded, a fierce battle that is quickly entering a fierce battle has just begun!
"It's a general illusion. Everyone, step back and open up the battlefield!!" Yuhi Hong shouted loudly, and then flew back!
Although she doesn't know the specific effects of Naraku here, she still knows very well that most of the group illusions are essentially spatial illusions. As long as you step out of the space enveloped by group illusions, it will be difficult for this technique to work. .
Watching the nearby Konoha ninjas retreat one by one, Ning Qi looked calmly at Kakashi, who was wrestling with him in front of him: "You are preventing me from killing someone."
The effect of Naraku here is particularly serious when Ning Qi kills people. This was the scene when Ning Qi massacred the Hyuga clan. From the time he killed the Hyuga Ling, everyone could see that he was killing people. , instead of killing pigs, sheep, or anything else.
The result of the forced "modification" is that the probability of Naraku being exposed will be infinitely increased.
Therefore, when slaughtering the Hyuga clan, Ning Qi only used Naraku here to "modify" his appearance and change the layout of the entire Hyuga clan head's mansion, but did not choose to forcibly "modify" Ning Qi's murderous behavior.
Similar operations are the same here.
What is different is that the group of guys in front of them are not the elders of the Hyuga clan who are relatively calm and naive when faced with the younger generation showing off their skills. They are full of vigilance towards Ning Qi himself.
There was even an illusion master, Kurenai Yuhi, watching from the side.
The secret calculation of Gangzitie and Shenyue Izumo who were preparing for a sneak attack had already made Kakashi and others aware of the abnormality. After Ningqi failed to ambush Yuhi Hong, she revealed the existence of Naraku here.
This is the embarrassing situation of this illusion in actual combat.
After all, it is an illusion specially designed by Ning Qi to deal with the Hyuga clan. It belongs to the type of "special attack against the Hyuga clan". The learning difficulty is indeed at the level of S level, but this type of "special attack" spell requires wide applicability. This makes Ning Qi a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Ning Qi himself had already expected this.
"Is this why you are so confident?" Kakashi's face looked a little ugly. The deaths and serious injuries of Shenyue Izumo and Gangzitie taught him a huge lesson. No wonder Ning Qi dared to stay after attacking Danzo. Here, I even talked so much to myself and others.
Not only is he relaxing his vigilance, but he is also obviously relaxing the attention of himself and others!
After a duel, Kakashi used the force to fly back and came to Yuhi Kurenai's side.
"How far is the range of the illusion?" he asked.
"Right here...huh?" Yuhihong raised her head with a frown. After looking at the Ning Qi seal in the middle, she paused and changed her words, "He canceled that illusion..."
Ning Qi walked towards them slowly, with a warm smile on his face: "The reason why I am confident is not because of illusion."
"It's because of strength——"
next moment.
Ning Qi's figure suddenly appeared next to Kakashi.
"Earth Swordsmanship·Landslide!"
A brown sword shadow slashed down, Kakashi blocked it with his sword, but his eyes suddenly widened.
What a powerful force!
Uh-huh!
Kakashi was directly swept away by a powerful sword!
However, when he flew out, the shuriken in his hand also shot at Ning Qi.
"Shuriken·Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
"Bagua Sword·Huitian!"
A blue halo of light enveloped Ning Qi and blocked all the shuriken shadow clones.
When Ning Qi was defending, he didn't notice that Yuri Hong on the side had already formed a hand seal.
Magical Tree Binding Killing!
Looking at Ning Qi's figure who was entangled in the fantasy space and unable to move, Xirihong looked coldly:
"it's over!"
Ning Qi is no longer the shy and studious boy he used to be... In other words, that has never been his nature.
This person is actually just a demon who is willing to kill clans and cause turmoil for the sake of freedom!
Thinking of what happened to Shenyue Izuyun and Gang Zitie, her eyes turned cold, and the kunai stabbed Ning Qi in the chest.
"I think so too, it's time to end." Ning Qi, who was entangled in branches, smiled faintly at Xirihong.
The next second, Yuhi Hong suddenly realized that she could no longer move. She looked down and saw that the person bound by the magic tree had turned into herself at some point!
It's a reversal illusion...
But...when? !
Poof!
Yuhi Hong didn't have time to think about it, Ning Qi, who was holding a kunai, stabbed her straight through the chest.
The sharp blade pierced the ribs and shattered the heart.
Severe pain was followed by coldness in the limbs.
She opened her mouth slightly, feeling that her body was becoming unable to breathe, and her vision was quickly beginning to blur.
The chopped-up organs were falling.
Ning Qi smiled and leaned into Yurihong's ear, and said gently:
"...It really has a real touch."
