Chapter 514.2: The Flame
After assessing Su Xiao's route, Ao quickly realized who Su Xiao was going to kill first.
— Everything seems to be going according to plan... Ao thought for a moment and sighed, then whispered a few words to the Jongin beside him. After listening to Ao's words, this jongin abruptly changed direction and went at full speed to the Mei Terumi residence.
— You two, go to the edge of the village and strengthen the guards, " just as Ao's voice faded, he suddenly found Su Xiao stopping and turning around.
Ao was a little puzzled. Su Xiao's intentions were already obvious to him, but this sudden stop and turn made him a little confused.
Su Xiao didn't go to the edge of the village anymore, but started walking towards the center of the village, where there was another target.
This made Ao very puzzled. He couldn't tell if he was planning on escaping or not, or if this abrupt change of target was due to anything at all.
Su Xiao started driving Ao around the village, and every time he changed direction, he would change direction towards a different target.
Five minutes later Mei Terumi and Ao met up.
— What happened? Mei Terumi asked with displeasure. She had just fallen asleep when she was suddenly woken up and had to go outside.
— This guy is kind of weird today, he's making circles around our village.
— Making circles? And where did he go already?..
— First he went to...
After listening to Ao's report, Mei Terumi's instincts let her know that something was wrong.
— He didn't go to any of his goals?
— No, the last time he was in the vicinity of one of the targets for a while, but then he just left. He's exploring the area?
— Perhaps, but... Mei Terumi tilted her head thoughtfully and suddenly thought of something.
— How he killed other prisoners in the prison earlier?
Ao thought for a few seconds, then answered:
— Most likely with the explosive seals [1], but when he got out of prison, there were definitely no seals left on him, so I completely examined him. When he went out, he only brought a sword and a couple of ordinary fruits with him.
— Fruit... Something's wrong, stop him, " Mei Terumi said and sped up sharply towards Su Xiao.
At this moment, Su Xiao was standing in the middle of a street on the outskirts of Hidden Mist Village. He was hiding his aura and breath, otherwise he would have been discovered by the other shinobi of Hidden Mist Village long ago.
The shinobi in this village were very vigilant, but after all, this was their home village, and since it was a very calm day, many Shinobi were sleeping peacefully, not paying much attention to the space around them.
Su Xiao, on the other hand, casually threw out the fruit stone after finishing the pulp. This fruit is the special fruit of Hidden Mist Village, and it grew best in this village. It was shaped like a mango, but it also tasted like a mango, so Su Xiao enjoyed eating it.
Taking out another such fruit from his bosom, Su Xiao began to peel it. He started eating these fruits during the day and appreciated their taste and juiciness.
If one were to pick up the bones that Su Xiao threw out every now and then, they would find that there was a small hole in each bone, and in that hole, one could see something that was a strange white color.
Su Xiao was already sick of these fruits, but he continued to eat them, as it was the only way he could avoid being discovered earlier than planned.
Su Xiao belched and threw up another bone.
*Tuk*
Not far away, Mei Terumi appeared on the roof with a slight, barely perceptible sound.
— What do you want to do? She said, and the look in her eyes didn't bode well.
— Scouting and evaluating the enemy's defense, don't be too nervous, " Su Xiao said and took a deep breath. His stomach began to rapidly digest the pulp he had just eaten.
— For what purpose did you throw away all these bones? Forget it, it doesn't matter. These bones have already been removed.
— It's clear... Did you manage to get rid of the contents of these bones? Su Xiao, who was wearing Lan Kai's windbreaker, abruptly stretched out his arms and white spiders began to crawl out of his cuffs very quickly, at least several hundred small white spiders.
Mei Terumi's pupils narrowed abruptly, and her heart beat faster.
— Lava Element: Mysterious Melting Technique, " Mei Terumi quickly folded her hand seals and after taking a deep breath, a stream of lava shot out of her mouth!
The lava immediately rushed towards Su Xiao. Although Mei Terumi only had some suspicions earlier, after seeing Su Xiao's move, she immediately attacked him without a shred of hesitation.
Mei Terumi's move was correct, but it was made too late. She should have burned Su Xiao in that cell back then, not let him go free.
Just as the lava was about to turn Su Xiao into ashes, he made his move.
*BOOM!..*
Flames shot up into the sky, and the lava that was flying towards Su Xiao was blown away.
The explosion didn't just happen near Su Xiao, but also in all the places he had passed by up to this point.
A tenth of the houses in Hidden Mist Village were damaged in one way or another by these explosions. The fire began to spread everywhere in a matter of moments, and screams along with screams began to reverberate across the night sky.
[1] Explosive seal (киб kibaku fuda, literally "Exploding piece of paper") — a special exploding piece of paper with the kanji explosion (баку baku) engraved in the center. Such sheets can be attached to the surface, or to weapons aimed at the enemy. Also, to confuse the enemy, the ninja can throw a kunai with a leaf that looks like an explosive seal, but is not such.
