12 s.s.s

In the afternoon of the next day, Class 3 and Class 8, who were not in a hurry but took a rest on the way, finally returned to Konoha after many days.

However, before Yagyu was disbanded and allowed Teams 3 and 8 to go back to rest, he went to report the mission to Tsunade alone. He saw the chuunin guarding the door and said: "Yagyu chuunin, Lord Hokage ordered us, once we see you When you come back, I'll ask you to take Class 3 and Class 8 to the Hokage's office immediately."

Yagyu Chuunin?

Upon hearing the title of Chuunin, Class 3 and Class 8 both raised their eyebrows, slightly surprised, but quickly nodded.

With Yagyu's strength, he should have been promoted to chuunin long ago.

With such a range of wood escape, even if Yanageng becomes a jounin or an elite jounin, the third and eighth teams will not be surprised.

Yagyu looked surprised. He paid more attention to Tsunade's instructions than being promoted to Chunin.

So, he nodded and said with a smile: "I understand, thank you for the reminder."

After registering, Yagyu took Class 3 and Class 8 to the Hokage Building.

"Hokage-sama, let's go back..."

"You've come back just in time. I have an urgent task for you."

Yagyu pushed the door open and was about to say hello to Tsunade, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Tsunade's voice.

Tsunade said with a serious face: "Last night, Uchiha Sasuke was deceived or kidnapped by Orochimaru and left Konoha. According to the reports from the Perception Class and the Barrier Class, the person who took him away was a Chunin. Four sound ninjas who used the Ninja Technique: Four Purple Flame Formations during the exam."

"Due to the fact that all the Jonin in the village are out on missions during this period, I can only temporarily promote Nara Shikamaru to Chunin and let him lead Team 7 and Team 10 to recover Uchiha Sasuke. in."

"But just a few hours ago, Shizune sent me information. Shiranui Genma and the others met four sound ninjas, but they were all injured. Those guys also have Orochimaru's curse seal. I'm worried Something will happen to Naruto and the others, so it's just the right time for you to come back."

After finishing speaking, Tsunade stood up and came to a cabinet, opened it and took out a green vest, threw it to Yagyu, and said in a deep voice: "Yagyu, I now officially promote you to Konoha Chuunin, responsible for leading the Eighth Team 3 and Team 3 are going to support Nara Shikamaru and the others."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Liu Sheng caught the vest and nodded respectfully, but he was slightly happy in his heart.

Has this time finally arrived?

"Go ahead and set off in the direction of Tiannokuni. The insects of the Aburame clan should be able to find their scent." Tsunade instructed: "If you really can't find it, Yagyu, you can use slugs to contact the aromatic phosphorus. She also signed a contract with Shigulin."

"I understand, Hokage-sama."

Yagyu nodded again, and then left the Hokage's office with Class 8 and Class 3. After applying for the certificate of leaving the village on the first floor, he left Konoha again.

On the way, Yagyu asked Aburame Shino: "Shino, have your bugs found the scent of Shikamaru and Naruto?"

"No."

Shino Aburame looked at the insects on her fingers, shook her head and said, "It's been a long time. Even if it doesn't rain, the remaining smell has disappeared."

"In that case, let's set off in the direction of Tian Country as Lord Hokage said."

Yagyu took out a map from somewhere. After opening it, he quickly led the third and eighth squads towards the north.

The Kingdom of Tian is also one of the neighboring countries of the Kingdom of Fire. It is located in the northern direction of the Kingdom of Fire. The neighboring countries on the left and right are the Kingdom of Iron and the Kingdom of Tang.

If the ninjas of Konoha want to enter the country of fields, they need to pass through an amazing area of ​​virgin forest that has not been developed in any way.

Even a ninja would have to spend most of a day walking through that primeval forest.

At the end of the forest, there is a grassland area, and then there is the Valley of the End where the first Hokage and Uchiha Madara fought.

Because it was already afternoon when we returned to the village.

Not long after Class 3 and Class 8 left Konoha, the sun had already set.

After a while, night enveloped the earth.

Yagyu and the others, who were eager to support Nara Shikamaru and the others, did not rest in the middle. They just took a soldier's food pill and continued to teleport at full speed.

When it was almost early in the morning, they finally saw the vast, rootless virgin forest.

"Found their scent."

As soon as they entered the primeval forest, Aburame Shino told them good news.

"Then please lead the way, Shino."

Kagura couldn't find Yagyu, so she handed over the position of leader to Aburame Shino.

Shino Aburame nodded, then passed Yagyu and the others in a flash, leading the way.

After two hours passed, Aburame Shino suddenly slowed down and returned to the group who was rushing forward without saying a word to save energy, and reported to Yagyu Kai: "There are three familiar smells ahead, but they are not Naruto and the others. But the person who can be remembered by my bug should be someone we know or have interacted with, and must have met during this time. "

"White eyes - open!"

Before Yagyu could speak, Hyuga Neji and Hinata both opened their eyes, and then the former said: "It's the Sand Ninja combination from the Chunin Exam."

Hearing this, Xiao Li and Tiantian's expressions changed slightly, and the figures of Gaara and Temari appeared in their minds.

Yagyu said slowly: "After the Fifth Generation took office, Sunagakure Village sent people to redeem them and re-signed an alliance agreement with Konoha. They are not enemies now. Go up and communicate with them."

"yes."

Classes 3 and 8 accelerated their teleportation speed again, and soon caught up with the three Gaara siblings in front of them.

"It's you!"

The three Gaara siblings, who were also on their way at night, also discovered Yagyu and others at this time.

Temari and Kankuro's expressions changed slightly as they looked at Lee and Yagyu who performed amazingly in the Chunin Exam, and Aburame Shino who defeated them.

However, thinking about the current relationship between Sunagakure Village and Konoha, Temari quickly calmed down her emotions and took the initiative to explain to Yagyu: "We did not intentionally appear in the territory of the Land of Fire, but your Fifth Generation Hokage sent a message to our Sunagakure Village. request for support."

"I see."

Yagyu pretended to be enlightened, showed a gentle smile like a mask, nodded and said: "Sorry to trouble you, we in Konoha are indeed short of manpower at this time."

"Understand, understand..."

Temari and Kankuro smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.

Although the two siblings also lost their father, and Sunagakure Village also lost the Fourth Kazekage, their Sunagakure Village was indeed responsible for causing Konoha to lose the Third Hokage.

Because of this, Sunagakure Village did not dare to blame Konoha's rebellious ninja for killing the Fourth Hokage, and quickly signed an alliance agreement with Konoha.

This time, we came at full speed to support him to make up for the mistakes we made.

At this time, Gaara also turned to look at Yagyu and the others, and took the initiative to say hello: "Long time no see, Yagyu, and... Rock Lee."

"Long time no see, you..."

Xiao Li responded subconsciously, and then his eyes widened suddenly, staring at Gaara blankly.

Just as shocked as him were Tenten and Hinata beside him.

Obviously, none of them expected that the guy with a murderous look and a ferocious expression under the sand armor would actually greet them during the Chunin Exam.

"Long time no see."

Yagyu said with a smile: "You have changed a lot. Have you figured out anything during this time?"

"ah..."

Gaara nodded, looking at the dark forest ahead, as if he saw a figure with his back turned to him, and whispered: "I want to change my past thoughts, and I want to know how that guy felt at that time."

"Then come on."

The atmosphere quickly became awkward.

Facing their former enemies, neither side had anything to say.

Moreover, it was early in the morning, and they had to learn to save their energy as they kept teleporting away.

As a result, the nine people in the group remained silent. I don't know how long it took, but the black sky gradually turned white.

Hinata and Hinata Neji, who would take turns to turn on their eye rolls from time to time, Hinata's face suddenly changed slightly and said: "Yagyu-kun, I saw Choji, and his current condition is very bad."

"I also sensed that his aura was too weak."

Yagyu made a seal with one hand, and a branch extended from his body, quickly turning into a wooden clone.

"Mu...Mudun?!"

Temari and Kankuro's jaws almost dropped at this scene.

Gaara, who looked over, also had his pupils constricted.

Obviously, they were all shocked by Yagyu's move.

"Gulu..."

Immediately, Temari and Kankuro swallowed involuntarily.

They thought that Xiao Li was the strongest among these people, but they finally realized why among these people, only Yagyu was wearing a green vest.

This guy who demonstrated the powerful water escape technique and the phantom teleportation technique during the Chunin Exam was actually the owner of the legendary blood succession limit wood escape.

In other words, he is really a descendant of the Thousand Hands clan!

Thinking of this, Temari and Kankuro suddenly felt happy secretly.

Fortunately, this guy was a rational player and saw the outcome before the war was over, so he didn't take action against them.

Otherwise, the three of them might really die in Konoha!

At the same time, the two siblings also decided secretly.

After returning home, be sure to report this information to Granny Chiyo.

After the first Hokage, another Wooden ninja appeared in Konoha. This is definitely big news that shocked the ninja world.

It was as if Yagyu didn't see the reactions of the three siblings.

After creating a wooden clone, he said to Xiao Li: "Xiao Li, Dingci's current situation is very bad. My wooden clone may disappear after treatment. Please protect him with my wooden clone. "

"No problem, leave it to me!"

The simple Xiao Li didn't think much at all, he just gave a thumbs up and assured with a grin.

As a result, Xiao Li and Mu Clone left the team.

The remaining eight people continued on their way.

Soon, the morning light broke through the night, and the morning sun illuminated the forest.

"Yagyu-kun, I saw Shikamaru. He is fighting the enemy now."

At this time, Hinata reported again: "The enemy's ninjutsu are bows and arrows and spider silk. Shikamaru's current situation is also not good. He has been dodging and running away."

"Shino, Neji, please go help Shikamaru."

"yes."

Looking at Aburame Shino and Hyuga Neji who were leaving instantly, Gaara also said: "Kankuro, you also go up and help."

"I see."

Kankuro nodded and followed him instantly.

The team of eight quickly reduced to five people.

Not long after, Hinata said again: "Yagyu-kun, I saw Kaoru, Sakura, and Ino."

"Well, I can also sense their chakra. It seems like nothing is wrong." Yagyu nodded.

In fact, before dawn, Yagyu's Kagura Inner Eye had already sensed everyone's position.

The arrangement just now was also done on purpose by him.

Just like the original work, Akimichi Choji's opponent is Jirobo.

He is now in a near-death state. He must have taken three pills and entered the butterfly state just like in the original work.

This calamity is a good thing for Akimichi Chouji.

Nara Shikamaru's opponent was Kidomaru.

Facing Kidomaru, who can activate the second curse seal, Nara Shikamaru is no match at all. The reason why he can persist until now is to use the surrounding forest.

Kidomaru failed to kill Nara Shikamaru, presumably because he was afraid of the Nara clan's shadow imitation technique. The two of them were constantly pulling each other, the former looking for an opportunity to kill with one strike, and the latter looking for an opportunity to trick the opponent, or Wait for help to arrive.

As for the opponents of Kaoru, Sakura, and the three Ino girls, they are Tayuya who is good at psychics and sound illusions.

They are both good at sound illusions, but Tayuya's strength is many times stronger than that of King of the Bitos trio.

If there was no Xianglan accompanying the team, I'm afraid Tsunade wouldn't let Ino and Sakura follow them. Their strength is too weak.

Similarly, if there was no fragrant phosphorus, Yagyu would have been extremely anxious.

But fortunately, Xiang Phosphorus followed.

She learned a lot of water-bending phosphorus from Yagyu, and her strength is second only to Naruto who can use the group rasengan.

In addition, the three girls of Kosovo have excellent chakra control, and the Ino family's secret technique can also help their own people break free from illusions. Even if Tayuya enters the cursed seal state, it will be difficult to defeat the trio.

However, it is not easy for the trio to take down Tayuya.

So, Yagyu continued to issue instructions: "Hinata, you and Tenten go to support Karin and the others."

"yes."

Hinata and Tenten nodded, then quickly left the group.

Gaara also said to Temari: "Temari, go and assist them."

"I see."

Temari nodded and followed closely.

Suddenly, only Yagyu and Gaara were left in the nine-person team.

"Get out of my way and give Sasuke back to me - the Rasengan!!!"

Not long after they separated from Hinata's three girls, Yagyu and Gaara teleported at full speed when Naruto's roar suddenly reached their ears.

The voice had an echo, as if many people were shouting in unison, and it was extremely loud.

As if sensing Naruto's anger, Gaara's expression changed slightly.

Soon, figures wearing orange jackets and suits suddenly caught the eyes of Yagyu and Gaara.

There were at least a hundred Narutos, all exuding red chakra, holding a blue energy ball in their hands, and blasted hard at a figure.

boom--

The entire figure hit a tree, and hundreds of blue energy balls immediately set off a deafening explosion and dust mist.

"Gaara, go help Naruto."

Yagyu looked serious and said: "There is a chakra ahead. Sasuke should be in his hand. I will chase him."

Sizzle...

The sound of electric currents converging sounded, and before Gaara could reply, Yagyu turned into a blue-white afterimage and disappeared in an instant.
