After retreating a few steps and maintaining a safe distance.
Shemu swallowed, his body slightly tense, and looked at Yūto and Konan with a nervous expression:
"What exactly do you want? My mission is complete, and the payment has been made in advance. You can leave."
Konan glanced indifferently at Shemu, her gaze sweeping around, and she said coolly:
"We didn't just come here to escort you."
As Konan's voice sounded, Shemu's face became somewhat unsightly, and he stammered:
"You Kirigakure don't keep your promises!"
Hearing Shemu's words, Yūto couldn't help but find it amusing:
"Kirigakure didn't make any promises with you. We've completed your mission. Now we're doing our own thing."
Shemu retreated a few more steps, bit his lip, and a rare determined expression appeared on his face:
"You really came for that thing too. I won't let you get close to Takigakure!"
That thing?
Yūto and Konan exchanged glances, a look of surprise appearing on their faces simultaneously.
From Shemu's words, it seemed that Takigakure was hiding a secret they didn't know about.
As for Shemu's attitude of preparing to fight to the death, neither Yūto nor Konan paid it any mind, completely ignoring it.
Just as Shemu's nerves were tense.
Suddenly, sounds of something cutting through the air came from behind.
Dozens of kunai, from different directions, enveloped the three of them.
Seeing this scene, the determined look on Shemu's face instantly vanished. He covered his head with his hands and scrambled towards a nearby large tree.
Shemu hid behind a large tree nearby, constantly panting, with a look of lingering fear.
As for Yūto and Konan, who were standing in the center of the attack range, they still maintained a calm expression.
Konan gently waved her hand, and dozens of paper sheets flew out from her body.
Konan formed a hand seal, and these flying paper sheets quickly transformed into the shape of kunai, then collided with the incoming kunai, causing them all to fall to the ground.
And Yūto, who was standing beside Konan, had not focused on these attacks the entire time.
When Yūto's gaze fell upon Shemu, who was hiding behind a large tree and constantly panting, a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes.
Yūto extended a finger and gently tapped Isobu, who was resting on his shoulder.
Feeling Yūto's gaze, Isobu's body trembled slightly, and a miniature version of Isobu shook out from Isobu's body.
As soon as this miniature version of Isobu appeared, it quickly crawled towards Shemu.
Calling it a miniature version of Isobu was simply a small mass of Isobu's Chakra.
Whether for combat or support, this ability was quite useless.
However, it was perfect for use on Shemu.
Meanwhile, as all the attacks were repelled by Konan, several Ninja hidden in the surroundings in front simultaneously emerged.
These Ninja had cold expressions on their faces as they looked at the three of them.
"So this is the leader of Takigakure. I didn't expect him to be just a kid, and a coward at that."
Kiriume said with a cold smile, looking at Shemu hiding behind the large tree and mocking him.
After speaking, Kiriume's gaze fell upon the two of them. When he saw the Kirigakure forehead protector on Yūto, Kiriume's brow couldn't help but furrow.
People from Kirigakure!
"You two must have been escorting this kid, but I suppose the mission is complete now that you've brought him here?"
Kiriume slightly squatted down, ready to attack at any moment, but a smile was on his face as he looked at Yūto and said.
After speaking, Kiriume's gaze swept over Konan. For some reason, Konan gave him a very familiar feeling.
But Kiriume knew that he didn't know any Ninja from Kirigakure, one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries.
"Regarding this mission, it is indeed complete."
Yūto said casually with a faint smile on his face.
Hearing Yūto's words, the tension in Kiriume's heart instantly dissipated, and the smile on his face deepened.
Kiriume looked at the two of them with a smile and said:
"Since your mission is complete, I won't bother you any further. What happens next likely has nothing to do with Kirigakure."
After speaking, a cold expression reappeared on Kiriume's face, and he walked towards Shemu.
Seeing this scene, Shemu hurriedly took out a kunai from his pocket and looked nervously at the approaching Kiriume.
Just then, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out in everyone's ears.
"Although the mission is complete, we haven't finished our business."
Konan had a calm expression, but her eyes flickered with coldness.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Kiriume's body sharply turned towards Konan, and he quickly squatted down.
"Long time no see, Kiriume! It seems Bing Yu isn't here?"
Konan looked around, found no sign of Bing Yu, and her gaze fell back on Kiriume, sneering.
Hearing Konan call out his name, Kiriume was startled at first, then the somewhat blurry impression in his mind instantly became clear.
He finally remembered who this woman in front of him was. It wasn't that his memory was bad, but the current Konan was completely different from the Konan he knew in Amegakure.
"You are... you are the Angel!"
Kiriume looked at Konan, his body suddenly trembling, and he stammered.
The next moment, Kiriume turned around and quickly ran in the opposite direction, shouting as he ran:
"Run!!!"
Along with Kiriume's startled cry, the other Ninja also reacted simultaneously and quickly fled in the opposite direction.
"As a rogue Ninja from Amegakure, you've already escaped once. There will never be a second time. Since you've come, just stay here."
Konan looked at Kiriume and the others fleeing in the opposite direction and said in a cold voice.
Paper Ninjutsu: Dance of the Shikigami!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A pair of wings made entirely of white paper suddenly unfolded from Konan's back.
Konan flew directly into the air, and with a fierce flap of her two wings in the forward direction.
The next instant, a fierce gust of wind erupted from Konan's body.
At the same time, white paper instantly swarmed out, transforming into a white sky-like curtain that enveloped the area in front.
The speed of these paper sheets was extremely fast, appearing in front of Kiriume and the others in the blink of an eye.
Blocking all of Kiriume and the others' escape routes.
The sky full of white paper formed a giant white square formation, trapping Kiriume and the others within, making escape impossible.
