Chapter 91 Why Did the Leader Rebel?
The Nara clan's pineapple-headed member tried to appease them: "Kusagakure, we know you were forced into this, and we know you had no choice."
"How about this? You release Shinnosuke first and come back to Konoha with us. The Hokage isn't heartless; they'll stand up for you. Believe me, even if you escape today, Kusagakure won't treat you well."
"Hehe, that's our business, it has nothing to do with Konoha." Shisei Aburame said with a laugh from behind, rejecting the offer outright.
Then he turned around and said, "You must not let go, otherwise these nearly a thousand ninjas will kill us all in an instant."
"Of course I know, you don't need to tell me."
At this moment, Negishi Kusanagi was already somewhat regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should have abandoned the Chunin who followed him and run away himself. But now he had completely offended Konoha.
As for the consequences the Konoha ninja mentioned, was there even a need to guess? They were inevitable. But he didn't have time to think about anything else now.
"Make way for us and let us leave."
"Impossible!" a Jonin retorted immediately.
The Nara clan ninja quickly changed their minds and instructed the other ninjas to make way.
Of course, this was merely a delaying tactic. Several ninja from the Yamanaka clan had already been planted among the crowd that had cleared the way.
As soon as they step into the encirclement, they will be instantly subdued.
The art of changing hearts.
Just as the spell was about to succeed, the ninjas who cast it suddenly collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.
They were actually harmed by the magic!
Rewind half a minute. When everyone gathered together, Shisei Aburame had already distributed a special syringe to the remaining people.
This potion is an stimulant made primarily from Hero's Water, with the addition of various insect pheromones.
Its main function is to invigorate the spirit and body, but the side effects are extremely obvious: it will shorten lifespan and cause a month of weakness after use.
But they couldn't care less about that now. They not only cooperated fully in using this drug that hadn't gone through clinical trials, but they were also extremely grateful to Shiseido Aburame for providing such a precious item.
It was precisely because of the effect of the heightened spirit, coupled with the interference from Aburame Shisei, that the methods employed by these mountain tribes failed.
"Good, good, you really did have an ambush planned."
Negishi Kusa gripped Nohara Shinnosuke's neck tightly, making him gasp for breath and unable to make a sound. Before long, Nohara Shinnosuke fainted due to difficulty breathing.
"Shinnosuke-sama!" The other ninjas rushed forward.
However, at that moment, a gentle breeze began to rise in the air, gradually becoming stronger and making it impossible for everyone to open their eyes.
The one who unleashed the enormous ninjutsu was a dragonfly flapping its wings in the sky.
Although the gale is not very harmful, it has a strong suppressive effect, and the presence of phosphorus powder in the wings can cause temporary blindness.
This is the ninjutsu that Aburame Shisei created during this period, called Wind Release: Wind Brush.
During this time, he mastered many Wind Release ninjutsu, and through a deep understanding of the wind, he collaborated with the dragonfly to create a Wind Release ninjutsu. In addition, he also created a Wind Release Perception Technique.
He named it the Secret Technique: Wind Release - The Technique of Hearing the Wind.
This ninjutsu is a product of the combination of chakra and natural energy. Once it is used, the wind in nature will become its eyes and ears.
Just now, he had already planned the most reasonable escape route.
Aburame Shisei, exhausted, lagged behind the group and urged, "Hurry up!"
In contrast, the Konoha ninja could only watch helplessly as they disappeared into the night.
After everyone escaped beyond the border of Konoha, Negishi Kusanagi never dared to stop for a moment.
They escorted Sarutobi Shinnosuke through the mountains and forests of the Land of Grass.
They could vaguely hear the movements of pursuers behind them, but every time they were about to be caught, Aburame Shisei's perception ability would always detect them in advance and lead them away.
Three days later, they finally returned to Kusagakure Village.
Everyone was exhausted and collapsed on the ground as soon as they entered the village.
But the matter was not over yet. When the leader of Kusagakure heard that they had captured the Hokage's eldest son, his face turned pale.
"You're all insane!"
He pointed at Negishi Kusanagi, his fingers trembling: "That's the Hokage's son! If you capture him, do you think Konoha will let us go? Do you think Iwagakure will let us go? Our Kusagakure will be wiped out!"
Negishi Kusanagi stared coldly at him: "And what about us? Why didn't you say these things when we were sent to our deaths?"
The leader was speechless.
The elder beside him quickly tried to smooth things over: "It's too late to complain now. Lock him up first, treat him well, and don't let him suffer. Then... then see if we can negotiate with Konoha and exchange him for something."
Everyone fell silent instantly; they all knew this was wishful thinking.
Capture the Hokage's son, and you want to negotiate? You'd be lucky if we didn't wipe you out.
Sure enough, the envoy from Konoha arrived a day later.
It was a ninja wearing an ANBU mask, his tone icy.
"Release the hostage and hand over the murderer within three days. Otherwise, Konoha will consider Kusagakure an enemy and take all necessary measures."
After saying that, he turned and left without even drinking a sip of water.
The leader of Kusagakure Village panicked.
He convened a meeting of all the Jonin to discuss countermeasures.
The meeting was filled with arguments. Some people said to release the people, some said not to release them, some said to hand over Genji and Kusa to take the blame, and some said to simply join Iwagakure.
The final plan was to first imprison Negishi and Kusanagi as a show of sincerity to appease Konoha. Then, they would secretly contact Iwagakure to see if they were willing to take over.
Negishi Kusanagi and his six companions were thus imprisoned. The cell was dark, with only an oil lamp flickering on and off. The eight men huddled together, their faces pale and grim.
"I knew it. Those bastards would definitely betray us." A ninja gritted his teeth.
"So what do we do? Wait to die?"
"This dilapidated cell doesn't even have windows."
Because of the potion's inactivation period, they are now so weak that they can't even beat a child.
Negishi Kusa leaned against the wall, saying nothing, while Aburame Shisei sat in the corner, watching them.
Seeing their anger, resentment, and hatred towards the village, the time was almost up.
"Do you want to go out?"
Everyone was taken aback, but Aburame Shiseido laughed and said, "Then come with me."
He took out several pills (insect eggs) and distributed them to everyone: "Eat them."
After saying that, he ignored their expressions, raised his hand and pressed it against the cell door, then pushed it hard.
The seemingly impregnable prison door burst open in an instant. Outside, two guards lay lifeless in pools of blood.
The group exchanged bewildered glances, then all turned to look at Negishi Kusanagi.
Negishi Kusa swallowed the insect egg in one gulp and said, "Let's go."
