Shukaku

Seeing many Hidden Sand ninjas surround them, although Three of them began to experience short-term emotional ups and downs, this emotional fluctuation was quickly suppressed.

Since it's already happened, getting into a panic here will only make your situation more dangerous.

"Ayane, how many people are there in total?"

Shiraishi asked with his head sideways.

"Counting the sand ninjas who have not acted, there are a total of 176 people. Currently, there are 103 sand ninjas attacking us."

The scope of this hidden sand base is not very large, and it has penetrated deep into the hinterland. Ayane can use her eyes to see the number and location of the enemies at a glance.

"One hundred and three people, that is to say, each person has to deal with thirty-four enemies on average. This is really a big problem."

What's more, in order to cause a riot before, Ruri had already consumed almost all of the chakra in advance, and it is estimated that only half of the chakra is left in the body now.

To deal with ordinary enemies, the remaining half of Chakra is enough to deal with them, but facing so many sand ninjas, there are many jonin among them, no matter how you look at it, it is a terrible situation that is impossible to defeat.

"In the next battle, Save your Chakra save as much as possible, and use natural energy to fight."

Shiraishi glanced at Ruri and said to her.

Ruri nodded, she thought so too.

Compared to the inexhaustible natural energy, Chakra should be saved in this bad situation to use at critical moments.

"Now change the tactics, Ayane, you are in charge of finding the way out with your eyes, and Ruri and I are in charge of fighting. Find the weakest point and escape from there."

Because it was going to cause a commotion before, Ruri's Fire Style technique was mainly used to protect Ruri and prevent her from being distracted during the action.

But now, if they want to find a way out, they can only rely on Ayane's Byakugan. He and Ruri are in charge of protection operations.

"I do my best."

Ayane's face was grim.

There are many sentient ninjas in the sand ninja here, which is also a huge challenge for Byakugan, who has the ability to explore in all directions.

"I'll talk about the task later, the important thing now is to escape from here. If there is no problem, act!"

It wasn't just Ruri and Ayane who were angry at the intelligence error, Shiraishi was also in a bad mood.

But at this time, you can't become irrational by anger, you must think rationally and find a way out to escape.

Regardless of whether the village intends to use their team as bait from the beginning, or there is something wrong with the ninjas of Anbu Root, it is estimated that such a trap will be dug for them to jump in.

Or Konoha got wrong information from the beginning, this is one of Hidden Sand's schemes.

Only by going out alive can we get the answer to the matter, and clearly investigate the cause and effect of the matter.

"follow me!"

Ayane is not talking nonsense, the lives of the three are at stake, and they must do their best to find a way out of it.

Shiraishi and Ruri also followed.

At the same time, the two abandoned the chakra mobilization in their bodies, but calmed down completely, and began to absorb the natural energy around them.

Due to different locations, the natural energy will also have a large amount and a small amount, which will affect the extraction speed of natural energy.

However, this is the forest area of the Land of Rivers, and the natural energy floating in the trees and air is very rich. In less than a few seconds, Shiraishi and Ruri filled the body with natural energy.

As soon as the natural energy entered the body, Shiraishi and Ruri felt that their bodies became extremely light, and now it is not a problem to smash the ground with a punch.

But now is not the time to be happy about the increase in strength. After all, they are facing hundreds of elite sand ninjas, and there are a few more difficult ninjas among them. Once they are entangled, it will be difficult to break out.

At this time, we should be thankful that there is a Byakugan in the team, and we can be alert to the abnormality of this fake supply point in advance, otherwise we will not find out that this is a fake supply point until the end. At that time, we can only wait for death.

Before the sand ninjas formed a tight encirclement, Ayane had already found the weakest breakthrough, where there were only twenty-nine sand ninjas surrounded.

Compared to other directions, the number of sand ninjas surrounded here is the least.

Ding Ding!

Shiraishi picked up Kunai and bounced the shuriken flying from the front.

Then quickly fought against two sand ninjas.

In the dark and lightless forest, only figures were seen moving rapidly, and there were fierce sparks after the Kunai collided.

The two sand ninjas found that Shiraishi's strength was very powerful. Just the moment they fought, they couldn't help but groan in pain. Their arms felt extremely painful, and the kunai in their hands was almost unsteady.

Then when they adjusted their posture and went to look for Shiraishi, Ruri, who was in charge of the rear, also caught up, and slashed the necks of the two sand ninjas with kunai , finishing the two sand ninjas.

Because of their high speed, and the fact that the three of them don't like fighting very much, facing ferocious blocking enemies, they can deal with them as soon as possible.

"Wind Style · Gale Palm!"

A violent gale came from the rear, and in the violent wind, there were also a lot of kunai and shuriken mixed in.

Due to the influence of the storm, the speed and penetration of these kunai and shuriken in the air have been greatly increased.

But Ruri used natural energy to strengthen the body, and easily knock down the Kunai and Shuriken that flew over.

Boom!

However, Explosive Tags were attached to some of the Kunai, and the shock wave generated by the explosion immediately sent Ruri's small body flying, and she stood on a branch with great difficulty, her face turning pale.

"Don't let them escape!"

"Kill these Konoha ninjas!"

All around are the sound of people moving around, and the sound of shouting and killing is also surrounded from all directions.

Among this group of sand ninjas, there are sensory ninjas with outstanding abilities. No matter which direction Shiraishi and the others want to break out from, there are sand ninjas who keep chasing them.

And the number of sand ninjas is increasing, and the sand ninjas blocked in front are all elites. They are brave enough to delay Shiraishi and others' escape time and strive for the arrival of reinforcements.

"Don't think about fighting!"

Seeing the displeased expression on Ruri's face, Shiraishi knew what she wanted to do. This kind of unprecedented aggrieved fight, she must have accumulated terrible anger in her heart now, and wanted to fight this group of sand ninjas.

But now is not the time to be impulsive.

Even with natural energy, they are not invincible.

Caught in the siege of a large number of sand ninja, there is only one dead end.

"Understood. Don't speak to me in a commanding tone."

Ruri snorted, the Explosive Tags exploded beside her just now, which made her feel a tightness in her chest, and also ignited the fighting spirit in her heart.

"..."

I don't want to do this either. Shiraishi sighed.

This group of sand ninjas are like mad dogs chasing and biting, and this is not an important supply point. Is it necessary to work so hard?

At this moment, the earth suddenly trembled.

Shiraishi, Ayane, and Ruri felt a chill in their bodies, and they almost lost their stability and fell to the ground.

The sand ninjas chasing up were similar. They also didn't expect the earthquake to come suddenly, and they couldn't stand steadily.

"Wait, that's—"

"Damn it, is that monster out of control?"

These sand ninjas seem to know something, their tone is full of fear and bewilderment.

It comes from being afraid of something.

The heavy vibration continued to shake the earth.

Everyone has no idea what happened.

"what happened?"

Shiraishi felt this abnormally violent vibration, which didn't seem like the power that humans could display at all.

Then, along with the roar of the monster, there was a terrifying and cold chakra in the air at some point, which made people feel scalp numb, as if there was a big stone in their heart, and it was difficult to breathe.

Shiraishi was also shocked by this powerful chakra. Judging from the distance, it should be very far away, but this chakra of unknown origin can penetrate the barrier of the atmosphere and pass it here.

Even so, this powerful chakra has already surpassed the scope that normal people can understand.

The earth continued to shake, and terrible cracks began to appear on the ground.

The trees in the forest began to shake, and the violent hurricane raged from a distance. Even if you wanted to escape at this time, you couldn't escape at all.

Shiraishi had no choice but to grab the bark next to him and use his chakra to cling tightly to keep his body balanced.

Ruri and Ayane also grabbed the large objects around them to balance their bodies.

Not only Shiraishi and others, but even the chasing sand ninja's face was covered with cold sweat, shocked by this powerful chakra.

After finally waiting for the shock to disappear, just when everyone couldn't help but want to breathe a sigh of relief, a huge black shadow like a mountain rose from the forest in the distance, like an insurmountable mountain, appearing in front of everyone.

Accompanied by the appearance of this huge monster, the screams of many people can be heard.

The storm raged more fiercely, and the air was filled with heavy chakra, and this chakra felt different from ordinary chakra, it was full of coldness and danger.

"Shukaku, Shukaku came out!!!"

"Is that monster completely out of control?"

"Damn it, didn't you say it was safe?"

"Did Konoha's ninja do something? Damn it!"

Although he didn't know what Shukaku was, Shiraishi heard the panicked screams of the sand ninjas and thought it was an obvious coincidence.

Tonight they just lit a fire, and did nothing else, how could they release this unknown monster.

Having said that, the origin of this mountain-like monster itself is very suspicious.

For the first time, Shiraishi's concept of the ninja profession became a little vague.

In his opinion, Ruri's Fire Style ninjutsu is already a rare high-level jutsu, and the fire waves it creates can detonate a forest.

However, compared to this unknown giant monster, I am afraid that it only needs to move its body a bit to cause a more powerful destructive force than the Fire Style Technique.

"Hahahaha, I have finally come out again!"

The monster raised its head and roared with laughter, looking both happy and excited to destroy everything.

It stands in the forest with a towering fortress-like huge body. Just from the visual experience, it is a monster that human beings can't match.

It exudes a violent and destructive atmosphere all over its body. With a light sweep of its sandy yellow tail behind it, a forest was wiped out. The storm uprooted the trees, and the earth trembled and wailed. Among them, more than a dozen sand ninjas were also involved, and the horrifying screams made people feel frightened.
