Chapter 74 Can Master Sakumo Do It? (Available Tomorrow, Please Be the First to Pre-Order!)

The first floor of the dim and dilapidated building was silent.

There were only the rustling and flying noises of ashes, and the strong smell that seemed to be licked with the tip of the tongue.

The entire building was in a mess, or it would be better to describe it as broken walls and ruins.

The pitted and dark ground was left with a shocking dark red color of depression.

Snap... Snap...

Jiraiya walked towards the corpses and stepped on the dried blood on the ground. The dark red blood splashed on his trouser legs and stained them with blood.

He squatted in front of the headless corpse in a strange posture and began to observe every detail carefully.

The moonlight shone into the building from the doors and windows that had turned into ruins, and all the observable features of the corpse fell into his eyes.

"It's still a Kirigakure ninja, and the body is still warm."

Jiraiya put his hand on the charred corpse, frowned subconsciously and said in a low voice: "The time of death should be not long!"

He stretched out his hand and shook out the kunai, gently cutting open the chest of the corpse.

The roasted body had all its internal organs intact, and the warmth confirmed his guess. Except for the extremely tragic death, all other parts were no different from those of ordinary people.

"What about the battle process?" Kato Kai asked behind him.

Jiraiya did not give an answer immediately, but turned his head to look at the heads that rolled on the ground and the broken and dried bodies that fell on the ground.

He had seen many more cruel and bloody ones before.

But Jiraiya had never seen any scene like this, with the remaining violence and ferocity lingering in the air.

Especially those broken bodies with missing arms and legs, which did not look like human-caused injuries at all.

It was a pure savagery that wanted to kill people, just like a hungry leopard, showing its ferocity and murderous intent when it saw its prey.

It seemed as if one could smell the bloody smell of claws tearing through the body, and hear the wailing and fear of those Kirigakure ninjas before they died.

"Those corpses, could they be summoned beasts?"

Jiraiya's expression hesitated, but when he looked at the heads, his tone became solemn and serious, saying: "These corpses, the heads and bodies are separated, the cuts are flat, and they were killed in one blow, with sharp knife skills."

"Almost in an instant, these ninjas died."

The dry heads that died with their eyes open, with various expressions on their faces, anger, resentment or surprise, but there was no fear at all.

"I heard from those samurai that in the era of samurai, if the samurai's sword could be extremely fast, when the sword fell and cut off the enemy's head, the expression on the opponent's face would be frozen forever at that moment."

Jiraiya's eyes flickered slightly, and he whispered: "Because the speed of swinging the sword has surpassed the pain and fear before death, the opponent has lost consciousness before he realizes that he is dead."

"I thought it was just a legend..."

But now these corpses are just like confirming that absurd legend. There are really people who can be so fast with a sword.

Many ninjas who think they are good at swordsmanship put themselves in the shoes of the situation and couldn't help shuddering.

It sounds like an extremely easy and simple process, but if you think about it carefully, it will make people dumbfounded and horrified.

Killing so many Mist Ninjas at the same time in an instant, so fast that they had no time to notice their own death,

It was like the scythe of the god of death, the cut was smooth without leaving any bone stumps, there was no pain, only cold death...

"Can Lord Sakumo do this?" Someone suddenly said.

As soon as this was said, other people looked at him with different eyes.

Jiraiya did not comment, but just glanced at the senior ninja who spoke, and reminded him: "Don't say such rude words in the future."

"That's right." Kato Dan nodded and smiled gently, "Senior Sakumo is a powerful ninja known as 'White Fang'. His White Fang swordsmanship is famous in the ninja world."

There is still a gap between elite senior ninjas and elite senior ninjas. Elite senior ninjas with titles are a minority in the entire ninja world. They can be said to be candidates who are qualified to inherit the name of "shadow".

That is a reputation earned by killing one living life after another in fierce battles.

In comparison, the only other people who are famous for their swordsmanship are the general "Mifune" of the Iron Country and the arrogant "demigod" Hanzo.

No, there is actually another one besides them.

Jiraiya glanced at the inexplicably silent Tsunade and realized that she, like him, remembered the masked bastard with the short sword.

But it shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

These marks were obviously left by the long sword. How could an ordinary person practice the short sword and the long sword at the same time? They are two completely different swordsmanship.

Tsunade's nose suddenly sniffed and she walked to the window expressionlessly.

Where her sight touched were two complete heads.

Two black iron nails passed through the temples of the heads and nailed them to the wall.

They were neatly placed there, and there was no blood flowing freely into a pool of blood. Only some red and white sticky things could be seen, revealing a sense of horror.

"Is this, Anbu?"

Kato Dan also followed, and when he saw the mask and forehead protector, he couldn't help but blurt out in astonishment: "Why did Konoha's Anbu appear here?"

Yes.

Why was Konoha's Anbu here?

Why did they come here before them?

"..."

Tsunade's eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. She had already guessed the reason.

"It was placed here on purpose."

Jiraiya walked over, looked at the position of the head, and gradually frowned: "After the murderer beheaded them, he placed them here. I'm afraid he left them for us on purpose."

"It may also be a disguise." Kato Dan suddenly spoke, and then took off the two masks, looked at the two faces and said with certainty, "I have never seen these two people in Konoha."

Hearing this, the anger in the eyes of the other senior ninjas almost turned into substance.

They obviously didn't think so much, just thought that the murderer was slandering and provoking them!

"You continue."

Tsunade avoided Jiraiya's gaze, turned to look at the stairs leading to the second floor, and said calmly: "I'll go to the higher floor to take a look."

After that, she walked over there without looking back.

"Hey, wait for me!" Jiraiya came back to his senses and hurriedly followed him and said, "Your injury is not healed yet, be careful!"

Watching the backs of the two disappear in front of him, Kato Dan scratched his head helplessly.

"Put away the bodies of our two 'colleagues' and see if there are any complete heads to take back."

He turned his head and looked at the people behind him. His narrowed eyes flashed with a hint of deep meaning, and he said with a sad face: "This is really troublesome."

The invasion of the Land of Whirlpools by the Hidden Mist Village may have unexpected changes.

For example, the Anbu ninjas...

No, it should be said that the Root ninjas.

Who killed them here? Does it mean that the remaining Uzumaki clan members have already had some thoughts that they shouldn't have?

Thinking of this, Kato Dan frowned and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's a troubled time."
