Chapter 547: Inconvenience
Wind Country, desert.
Yellow sand seemed to be everywhere. Su Xiao's five-man team had long since left the vicinity of Hidden Sand Village.
Yuura also left the village with them, plus Gaara was a prisoner of war. Bubtni was carrying a half-dead Gaara. His breathing became increasingly weak, and the Shukaku in his body was also very sluggish.
— This guy is going to die, " Deidara said, taking his hand away from Gaara's neck.
— Your punch was too strong, Byakuya, " Sasori also felt Gaara dying.
Su Xiao signaled Bubtney to stop. To be honest, he also felt that Gaara would die on the way.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao took out his medicine bottle, which was relatively cheap to make and didn't restore much health.
He didn't know if the potion would help him, but he didn't see any reason to dismiss Gaara right now.
After opening the medicine bottle, Su Xiao took out a syringe, used it to draw the liquid from the bottle, and injected the liquid into Gaara's vein. Since Gaara was unconscious, he couldn't drink this medicine.
Gaara's body suddenly twitched, and Su Xiao immediately grabbed Gaara by the throat.
After ten seconds, Gaara's breathing became more stable, at least now it wasn't as ragged as before.
— Now, he won't die for a while, " Su Xiao said and threw the syringe away. As this experiment showed, the medicine certified by Paradise turned out to be very effective.
— Do you know ireninjutsu? Deidara was a little surprised.
— A little.
After injecting the medicine, Gaara regained consciousness, but since he was tightly bound by a rope and because of his weakened body, he was unable to move.
Ignoring Gaara, Su Xiao walked up to Yuura, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile on his face:
— You've helped us a lot by becoming a part of Hidden Sand Village.
Hearing Su Xiao's praise, Yuura smiled politely. "Mr. Byakuya, don't worry, this is my job.
— Well, thank you for your hard work, " the dagger slipped out of Su Xiao's sleeve, and along with it, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
*Pouf!*
Blood splattered on the yellow sand. Yuura's eyes opened angrily. A deep gash appeared on his throat.
Yuura covered his throat with his hands, but blood still started to flow out from under his fingers.
— Behind... Why... Yuura couldn't believe it. He was one of Sasori's subordinates, but this person decided to kill him.
Yuura staggered back two steps and looked at Sasori as if asking for his help.
— Master, save me — " but after Yuura saw Sasori, he was horrified. Sasori stood motionless on the spot.
— Seeing that Yuura wasn't going to die, Su Xiao stepped forward and struck again Yuuru with a dagger in the neck.
This time Yuura fell to the ground.
Su Xiao took out a white cloth and wiped the blood off his hands.
But something was very strange — he didn't see the notification that he had just killed Yuura, and this wasn't the first time. Earlier, in the village, he hadn't seen any notification of a successful kill.
Su Xiao immediately asked Rai about it and soon saw the answer.
[The hunter participates in a large-scale story event (Capture of the One-Tailed One). Rewards will be given out after the end of this event.]
Su Xiao nodded. He hadn't expected this event to be something so important.
Story events were rare and were comparable to hidden missions.
Su Xiao asked when this plot event would come to an end. He had already successfully captured Gaara, but Rai told him that this event would be considered complete when he got rid of all the pursuers.
Previously, Su Xiao thought that it would be enough for him to grab jinchuuriki. Now it turned out that Jinchuuriki's capture was just the beginning.
If something like this was to be done by the past Su Xiao, who had yet to meet jinchuuriki, then he might not have been able to deal with the pursuers, but it was different now — his Qing Gang Yin energy had undergone a qualitative change when it reached level 20! Even if Kakashi or Chiyo got in his way, he could at least fight them off. Qing Gang Yin's level 20 energy made up for one of his shortcomings.
Gaara clearly saw Su Xiao kill Yuura. At that moment, Gaara clearly realized that he didn't have much time left to live. That kind of person wouldn't give him a single chance.
— Jinchuuriki is awake, " Deidara said, and glanced at Gaara with displeasure. He was a little tired from the previous battle, and he was also injured.
— I'll cut off his limbs, " Sasori said, and his Hiruko took a step forward.
— Wait, he'll die if you do that, " Su Xiao immediately stopped Sasori, and Gaara secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he wasn't afraid of death, he didn't want to experience something like this.
But just as Gaara breathed a sigh of relief, he felt a slight tingling sensation in his spine. After that, warmth spread throughout his entire body, and finally, his entire body began to rapidly go numb.
— It's fine now, " Su Xiao said and threw the syringe away. He injected Gaara with an anesthetic. This dose was enough to make even the rhino immobile.
— Where are we going?
Of the three of them, only Sasori knew where they needed to go.
— River Country, valley... Sasori paused and turned to Su Xiao and Deidara.
— Oh~, they still have the strength to chase us, how did they even pass my eighteen traps? Deidara was a little angry. He didn't expect these shinobi to be so pesky.
— Leave it to me, I'll meet you in the River Country, " Sasori stopped, and Su Xiao and Deidara continued walking out of the desert.
Su Xiao and Deidara were responsible for jinchuuriki's life. Sasori was responsible for keeping the group safe.
All this was discussed in advance.
----
A day later, they arrived in the River Country and began to rest in Akatsuki's temporary shelter.
In fact, this temporary shelter was just an ordinary cave.
— Sasori is late, which is very rare, he's not... "Deidara began to suspect that Sasori was dead.
Su Xiao sat on a boulder and smoked in silence.
*Crackle-crackle*
A very unique sound suddenly rang out nearby.
— Are the pursuers finished?" It seems that Hidden Sand Village has decided to send a lot of people to their deaths, " Su Xiao said and threw out his cigarette butt.
Sasori has arrived.
Sasori's puppet was covered in scars, and Akatsuki's cloak didn't look very good, to put it mildly.
— Hidden Sand Village had used up almost all of its strength.
Considering what had happened, Su Xiao wasn't surprised at all. It would be strange if Hidden Sand Village decided to forget about this incident.
— They will continue to chase us, we must hurry.
The trio continued on their way, and soon a turbulent river blocked their path.
There were dark red rocks on both sides of the river, and the word "Dangerous" was carved on the opposite rock.».
Deidara and Sasori jumped down and ran through the water directly to the opposite rock. Su Xiao and Bubtni only looked at each other when they saw this.
Bubtney's eyes spoke clearly: "Master, what should I do, I can swim, but I can't run on water, wouldn't it look awkward if I started swimming?»
Su Xiao also didn't know how to run or even just walk on water. If he jumped down now, he would be exposed. There was no chakra in his body.
Heaven could indeed hide a lot, but obviously it wouldn't be able to hide the obvious fact. He needed to find a way out of this situation on his own.
If Akatsuki found out that Su Xiao, a "shinobi", couldn't run on water...
*Rumble*
A section of the wall on the opposite bank suddenly slid aside, revealing the entrance to a dark cave. Immediately after, a small platform moved forward.
Su Xiao and Bubtni immediately jumped and landed on this flat platform
Sasori and Deidara didn't notice anything out of the ordinary and a moment later they were also on this platform.
