Chapter 3 Choices
Scarface, whose real name is Takeshi Momochi, Shinobu Murakami in the fog.
The surname Momochi has a special meaning in the village of Kiriku, which refers to a family that resembles more samurai than ninjas.
Although the Taodi family is not prosperous, and its members have no bloodline inheritance, their reputation is still no less than that of many fog hidden blood families. In Wuyin Village, this is a very rare thing.
Ninjas chase power, worship power, and fear power, which is especially evident in the Fog Hidden Village. If the ninja clan does not have strength, there is no such thing as fame.
There is only one reason why the Momochi family has been able to prosper for a long time, they have a deep family heritage, and they can ensure that every generation of ninjas who come out of the family will be the backbone of the village.
Rumor has it that this family has a long history, and it is said that long before the chakra appeared, "Momochi" was once the top samurai family on the continent.
Later, even though the ninja appeared and replaced the samurai as the dominant force in this world, some valuable things still did not pass away with time, and were carefully preserved by the members of the Momochi family.
Although the new era has arrived, the power of the old era is not necessarily useless. Although Chakra makes Ninja rise, it is not an exclusive item for Ninjas. It made everything possible.
After combining with Chakra, the older generation of the Momochi family created a lot of valuable knowledge with the help of the original martial arts system. Unique training methods, complex move systems, superb killing skills...... These are the powerful origins of the Taodi family.
Takeshi Momochi was deeply proud of his family and amazed by the wisdom of his ancestors. Chakra Martial Arts cultivation to the extreme may not be weaker than those "shadows", he thought so, and also put his ideas into action.
Boiling his body around the clock and practicing weapon moves, his body is getting stronger and faster. But correspondingly, his eyes were completely attracted by the family inheritance, and the ninjutsu practice was naturally put on hold.
This also caused him to become a physical ninja who was biased, but he didn't really care about that.
In this way, time passed like a shuttle, seeing that he was almost fifty years old, but his strength seemed to be stuck in a bottleneck and stayed at the level of upper ninja and no longer advanced, in desperation, he had to sigh that his talent was insufficient, and then he should have pinned all his expectations on cultivating the next generation - his son.
The real strength is on the battlefield, tempered through blood and fire, and Taodi Wu deeply understands this truth. But the battle with Iwain was not child's play, and he didn't dare to rashly bring his son to the battlefield.
It just so happened that at this time, Konoha was aggressively marching into the Land of Rain, and Mizukage was keenly aware of the fact that the defense of the Land of Fire was empty, so he set a strategic resource replenishment plan of "grab a wave and run".
Realizing that this was an opportunity, Takeshi Momochi decisively asked for his life to come to the battlefield of the Fire Nation and put his son in his team. Nowadays, Konoha's ruthless characters basically stay in the Land of Rain, and what remains in the Land of Fire is just a few small fish and shrimp, which is not to be feared, and it is suitable for young people to experience it.
Unexpectedly, in the third battle with the Konoha patrol force, Momochi Blade, his only son who had just turned eighteen years old this year, actually died, and was suddenly killed by a detonation charm floating from nowhere, and the body after death was even cut off by an angry Konoha ninja to vent his anger.
The accident happened so suddenly, his brain went blank for a while. This was followed by anger, hatred and madness. He swore that he would kill all the Konoha ninjas present today. Although the guy in the opposite direction is not much weaker than him, and even though his teammates have died one after another, he will not hesitate to do it.
Finally, there was only one enemy left in front of him, and that was the leader. The other party looks to be in his early twenties, and coincidentally, he is also an individual ninja. Takeshi Momochi knows how difficult it is to really practice physical skills, and the guy opposite has this kind of strength at this age, and his talent is terrifying.
But it doesn't matter, he has to be stronger after all, and he is confident that he can drag this young Konoha ninja to death in this barren battlefield.
Then, another accident happened. He originally thought that his dead son was not dead, and although he only had one breath left, he was still alive after all.
The battlefield was chaotic, and he didn't have time to carefully examine his son's "corpse" at that time, which was indeed his carelessness.
Hope born out of despair is always precious. Because of this, Taodi Wuden was in chaos. He didn't want to spend any longer, and his eagerness to get out immediately affected his performance, and as a result, he was caught by the Konoha ninja on the opposite side and injured his arm.
If he was a ninjutsu-type ninja, maybe he would have a headache because of this, but he was a physical-type ninja, so it didn't hurt, and an injury to one arm didn't prevent him from running away with his son.
Yes, run away.
What family glory, revenge for the team members...... To hell with it. As long as his son is alive, he no longer asks for anything.
Calming down, Momochi Takeshi looked at the new guy, who was also a young man, who looked younger than his son, and seemed to be seriously injured.
However, this young man does not look simple, he can survive under the decapitation knife, and he knows the strength of Loquat Shizang, which arouses his vigilance. He didn't act rashly, because the other party was too close to the Peach Blade.
After some verbal artillery to no avail, the battle continued helplessly. It was at this moment that Takeshi Momochi suddenly found himself in a dilemma.
β¦β¦
Lei Luo's neck was close in front of him, and it was only a few centimeters away from the bitterness in his hand, and it only took a blink of an eye for him to take the life of this hateful boy.
But the other kid behind him had already stabbed the knife into his own skin, and if he didn't care, the muscles, the spine, and the heart would follow.
This distance is like a moat.
Damn it!
Do you want your son's life or your own life? Takeshi Momochi knew he had to make a choice.
If you insist on killing Lei Luo, the end of the same death can be predicted, and the remaining enemy is likely to kill the peach blade to vent his anger.
If you dodge it, keep it useful, and maybe there will be a chance.
After all, the fog ninja has arranged a lot of troops in this area, and if it is delayed for a while, wait for the nearby reinforcements to come, and forgive the two Konoha ninjas who are unable to fly.
As for...... What will happen to his son if he falls into the hands of the enemy, he was consciously blocked from his brain by Momochi Takeshi for the time being.
No longer hesitated, and in the next moment, Takeshi Momochi withdrew the kunai that he had stabbed. With the help of the momentum of the swoop, he twisted his body violently, staggered the direct contact between his heart and the blade, and at the same time kicked Lei Luo hard, and without looking at the result, the retracted kunai in his hand had already swept behind him.
The chilling sensation disappeared, turning into a fierce wind coming from his side, and Lei Luo didn't have time to think about it, and instinctively stretched out his arm to protect his body.
Boom!
Click! A crisp and pleasant bone cracking sound sounded, and the surging force was transmitted to the body, and Lei Luo was carried away from the place by this force without any resistance, and rolled far away to more than ten meters away.
Lei Luo lay on the ground in embarrassment, and the dirt mixed with blood instantly covered his whole body.
After a few seconds, Relo struggled, bracing himself up with his remaining hand. Holding back the pain in his arm, he stood up and staggered briskly towards the Peach Blade.
Takeshi Momochi and Sick Face exchanged hands again, because Takeshi Momochi was hit hard again, and because he lost the first move, this time it was Sick Face who had the upper hand and was gradually forcing Takeshi Momochi away from Takeshi Blade.
Seeing that the situation had been decided, Lei Luo glanced at the two of them coldly and raised his voice.
"Stop, Kiri Shinobi!"
This shout successfully attracted the attention of the two men, and after a brief exchange of weapons, they retreated at the same time, keeping a relatively safe distance from each other.
Momochi Takeshi gasped, and his wolf-like gaze fell fiercely on Lei Luo and his son Momochi Blade.
I saw Lei Luo bent over, half-squatting beside the collapsed tree, one arm hanging weakly at his side, and the other hand pinching Kunai on the neck of the immobile peach blade.
"He's important to you, isn't he?" Lei Luo panted and sneered, and at the same time, the kunai in his hand pressed a shallow blood mark on the neck of the peach blade. "If you don't want him dead, put your weapons down."
Seeing this, Momochi Takeshi refused to give in easily. "Oh? You think that's going to threaten me? If you have the ability, you will kill him. β
Both sides understood that the Peach Blade was Lei Luo's only bargaining chip to blackmail Peach Warrior, and Peach Warrior didn't believe that the other party dared to kill him.
Seeing that the enemy was still pretending, Lei Luo's smile became more and more sinister, "You think I don't dare to do it? As the words fell, his hand exerted force again, cutting through the skin of the peach blade, and a wisp of blood slashed his neck.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be coming for real, Momochi Takeshi's heart jumped, and he was a little hesitant for a while.
"Are you deaf?" A fierce light flashed in Lei Luo's eyes, and his hand rose and fell, and he violently cut off one of the ears of the Peach Blade.
Suddenly, the peach blade snorted, and an irrepressible flash of fear flashed in his eyes.
Seeing his son suddenly being abused like this, Momochi Takeshi forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, gritted his teeth and said, "What do you want? β
Ignoring Taodiwu's almost cannibalistic gaze, Lei Luo Shiran cut off the other ear of Taodi Blade again. Finally, the young Kiristin could no longer endure the intense pain and let out a terrible scream.
"Uhh......h
The sickly face who secretly observed the situation in the field, and saw Lei Luo's cruel actions, he couldn't help but show a look of hesitation.
As a ninja who lived in the war years, although he was not pedantic, Lei Luo's wanton torture of prisoners still made him unhappy, and he couldn't help but feel a little urge to dissuade him.
However, when he remembered the Konoha companions who died tragically at the hands of the Mist Ninja, he hesitated.
At the same time, the scene that had just happened also came into his mind at the right time, making him completely give up the purpose of interfering with Lei Luo.
Before, in the fleeting confrontation between the three of them, the sickly face almost pierced Takeshi Momochi's heart.
Although the other party changed his tricks in time and staggered the key point and avoided the end of death, he was still not lightly injured. In the short battle that had just forced Momochi Takeshi back, he had already noticed that this powerful mist shinobi was much slower to react.
If they fight again, he has the confidence to beat the opponent.
And all of this is due to the opportunity created by Lei Luo's sacrifice. Judging from Lei Luo's performance in a short period of time from his appearance to the present, whether it is a keen sense of the enemy's weakness, or a decisive move that is not afraid of death, all of this has brought a very deep impression to the sick face.
This should not be an unwise man, and there may be some meaning in his doing.
Unconsciously, the sick face didn't notice that he had developed a trace of trust in Lei Luo, a companion who suddenly appeared.
The thought fell, and the sickly face turned its head slightly, no longer paying attention to the direction of Lei Luo and the Peach Blade, and focused all his energy on Peach Ground Takeshi.
He erected his blade and slowly moved closer to Lei Luo, ready to guard against the blow of the Taodi Wuyu Death Net.
The screams of the peach blade stimulated the nerves of Peach Takeshi again, but this time in addition to anger, Peach Takeshi also had a trace of undetectable panic in his heart.
It's a big dealβthis is the message that Takeshi Momochi read from Lei Luo's eyes.
He didn't know if Lei Luo would dare to destroy the only chip in his hand, but he knew that he couldn't afford to gamble.
Momochi Takeshi had no choice but to throw away the kunai in his hand, then slowly stretched his hand to his waist, carefully took off the ninja bag, and threw it on the ground after signaling in front of Lei Luo.
At this point, Momochi Takeshi gradually calmed down.
He had already seen through Lei Luo's hypocrisy, and when the other party was faced with a surprise attack from behind him, he was extremely unbearable. With an opponent of this strength, he doesn't know how many Taodi Wu has killed.
But at this moment, he was even more jealous of Lei Luo than at the beginning, and he didn't even dare to anger the other party, if he still wanted to save his son's life.
With that sick face, it is doomed that he will not be able to turn the tables on his own in this situation.
So, drag it out.
Drag it out for as long as you can, and when the other fog ninja teams find out about the movement here, there will still be a turnaround.
"I know you're trying to stall." When Lei Luo saw Taodiwu's slow movements, he knew that the other party still didn't give up.
He smiled nonchalantly and wiped the kunai from the collar of the Momochi Blade, wiping the blood away. "But it's okay, I can continue to play with you, it's just this ......"
Lei Luo patted Momochiblade's cheek with the back of Kunai's knife, "It might be difficult for a while." β
Momochi Takeshi didn't say a word, and seemed to be deaf to Lei Luo's words.
"Stop talking? How boring is that? Lei Luo frowned, and said without saltiness: "Look away, although there are no ears, there are still noses, tongues, eyes and teeth." β
Momochi Takeshi was shocked, looked at Lei Luo in disbelief, and opened his mouth slightly unconsciously. Momochi Takeshi didn't expect this young Konoha ninja to be so vicious, he didn't even know if the other party was serious.
"You won." Momochi Takeshi only felt bitter at this time, and deeply realized the feeling of 'people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat'. "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Don't worry, I won't make any unreasonable demands that make you commit suicide immediately, and I believe you won't agree." After speaking, Lei Luo pretended to be contemplative, and said lightly: "That's ...... I've got to think about what I'm going to do next to satisfy both of us. You turn around now, and I'll tell you later. β
Momochi Wu pondered for a moment, he naturally wouldn't believe Lei Luo's nonsense, but the situation forced him to obey.
Thinking that he still had hole cards that he had not used, Momochi Takeshi still decided to stabilize the opponent for the time being.
Thinking of this, Momochi Takeshi nodded expressionlessly. "Okay, I hope you want to hurry." Then he didn't say much, and slowly turned around.
Takeshi Momochi is a powerful physical ninja, and everyone present is aware of this. But no matter how strong his strength is, no matter how fast his reaction speed is, handing over his back to the enemy is still tantamount to death.
A truth written in the ninja code was decisively abandoned by Momochi Takeshi, has this been given up, or is there still a hole card that has not been used? Relo prefers the latter.
So, do you want to make a sick face?
No...... After wasting such a lot of effort and breaking an arm, he couldn't let this precious combat force around him have any accidents.
Squinting slightly, staring at the silhouette of Takeshi Momochi, Lei Luo kept figuring out Takeshi Taodi's thoughts. At the same time, he also had a vague judgment about the relationship between the captives in his hands and Takeshi Momochi.
To this extent...... Should it be the closest relative, father and son?
"No, don't ......" The Peach Blade that was pressed under Lei Luo raised his last strength, and raised his head violently to look at Lei Luo, his eyes revealing pleading. Please...... Kill...... Kill me. β
Takeshi Momochi heard his son's voice, paused slightly, and then no longer hesitated, turned around completely, and exposed his back to the two enemies.
Seeing this scene, the sickly face sighed slightly.
Among them, there are feelings, melancholy, awe, and a trace of regret.
Reason told him that he should take this opportunity to rush forward decisively and take out the enemy. The distance of ten meters was only a blink of an eye for a master of his level, not to mention that the enemy was still facing away from him.
At this moment, he was sure that he would easily take out this tricky mist ninja, but he still didn't act rashly.
The sickly face turned his head slightly, looking at Lei Luo at his side.
Lei Luo did not respond to Peachblade's plea, silently pressing Peachblade's head into the dirt. Noticing the sickly glance at him, Lei Luo thought for a moment and stretched out his hand to gesture in front of him.
The meaning of this gesture is simple β cover me.
In this case, what else is there to cover?
Could it be that Lei Luo is going to make some small moves without wanting to be discovered by the mist shinobi on the other side?
The sickly face nodded, and his steps moved forward, walking from the side to stand in front of Lei Luo.
Seeing that the sickly face successfully blocked the faint gaze of Momochi Wu, Lei Luo stopped procrastinating, took off the ninja bag hanging from his waist and began to grope.
A few kunai, shurikens, were thrown away by him casually, and there is no shortage of this kind of thing now.
A scroll, Lei Luo thought about it, but still put it away, anyway, it didn't take much weight.
Soon, Lei Luo's eyes lit up, and he turned out ten detonation charms, along with the two detonation charms left in his bag, he now had a total of twelve detonation charms in his hand.
Without hesitation, Lei Luo pasted one of the detonating charms on the face of the Peach Blade, ten stickers it all over the opponent's upper body, and the last one was hidden in the pants pocket of the Peach Blade.
Pulling down the clothes of the Peach Blade to cover the position of the last detonation charm, Lei Luo nodded secretly.
Arranged like this, it must be that Taodi Wu is not so easy to save Taodi Blade, and if he doesn't get it, he will put himself in it.
Even if Momochi Wu has any hole cards that can guarantee that he will not die, he should inevitably be seriously injured by the explosion at that time. In addition, the other party's injuries at this time are not light, and there is a burden to drag, at least he should lose his combat effectiveness.
After rehearsing the process in his mind for a while, Lei Luo suddenly felt that the technique he had mastered might be able to create a miraculous effect at this time.
