Persecution

"Fire Style: The Phoenix Fire Art!"

With over a dozen small fireballs as cover, Ruri hid.

And behind her, naturally followed by Shiraishi and Ayane, among the all-encompassing force of the three, Ruri is arguably the best suited to attack from the front.

The ninjas are using wind style ninjutsu among the enemies this time, the smoke bombs effect is not great, at most it causes some interference and then it is blown up by the wind.

Even if you want to create smoke that cannot be easily blown away by the wind, you need to have the time and materials. After that, you will have to go through a complicated and unparalleled reconciliation process. It cannot be produced in a short time.

Fortunately, the jōnin who were good at escaping the land were inadvertently interfered with by Ruri's illusion at first and suffered a serious injury. In other words, only two of the sand troops that surrounded them had integrity. They had only one jōnin unharmed, the rest are chūnin.

As a result, it should be much better than the situation last time.

A dozen small fireballs fell, naturally causing a bit of chaos, the trees burned and black smoke with a scalding smell rose.

To avoid being controlled by Ruri's strange illusion, the sand ninja must naturally be more cautious.

However, Ruri's instantaneous ability is very fast, as Jōnin, who is being watched by her, wants to get out of her field of vision he will be intercepted by her, it's not a simple matter to break free.

Therefore, I investigated the means by which Ruri's illusion is triggered, mainly based on ghost tactics.

Whether it was Shiraishi's team or those ninjas hiding in the sand, they knew that victory or defeat in this battle was not on their side.

It was the battle of Sakumo.

Victory or defeat there determines the final direction of the battle.

All they can do here is delay as long as possible.

Baishi looked for a Chunin. His movements were supposed to be based on physical skills, and his speed and strength were slightly stronger than the average Chunin. Baishi used the sword techniques he learned from Sakumo. She can barely support herself in front of him.

And the other party looked a little relieved because they found a well-matched opponent.

If possible, he didn't want to fight with the ninja who had Sharingan eyes and Byakugan eyes, especially the girl who looked very pure and harmless with white eyes.

When a companion last attacked her, he was pierced straight through the heart by two fingers, killing her with one blow.

It's completely different from the gentle fist mentioned in the book. Although there is a shadow of the gentle fist, it is more of a personal trait. Getting hit is destiny.

And to fight the Sharingan, you have to take into account the ghostly illusion on the other side, even if you are careful, you will get caught. For your chūnin, this is very difficult.

"You can hold me so long, your strength is bad"

"But... you're going to die here!"

His speed suddenly increased, and he walked behind Shiraishi, trapping Shiraishi's neck with his arms, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"How? Now you..."

bang!

The Baishi turned into a piece of wood, with a flaming detonation talisman glued to it.

The chūnin's pupils shrank and blinked back in a hurry.

bang!

He was hit by the shock wave generated by the blast and stopped when he hit a large tree, with blood at the corners of his mouth.

Standing on the branch of another large tree, Shiraishi smiled and said, "It's amazing. I escaped the blast from the detonating spell. This is one of my unique abilities."

"Damn boy! How dare you--"

It seemed that Shiraishi's tricks irritated him, and he desperately gathered Chakra in the soles of his feet, and ran to the big tree quickly, intending to make Shiraishi suffer.

"It's a pity, it's over..."

Shiraishi just said that.

The sand ninja's fist is just a few punches away from his face, and the white sword's light extends from Shiraishi's oblique back to the front like lightning.

There was an extra flat incision in the ninja's neck hidden in the sand, and he lost consciousness almost instantly and fell from the air.

"Looks like it was resolved there, Professor Sakumo."

Sakumo nodded, pleased with the three people's performance.

If you polish it, you'll follow in his footsteps sooner or later.

After all, the three people are twelve years old and the future can be expected.

The sandy ninja who fought Ruri and Ayane knew that the moment Sakumo appeared on the scene, he knew something was wrong.

At the same time, he secretly scolded the male and female puppet master, saying that this time the winner was in the hand, and the result was faster than the last time. It only took a few minutes.

Suddenly, they lost their combat mindset.

"Earth Style: Earth Style Wall!"

The jōnin didn't hesitate to gather Chakra with both hands and perform ample ground-style ninjutsu.

bang!

bang!

A wall of hard rock, like a high wall, was erected. Because of the great variation in the terrain, the earth was vibrating.

Ruri and Ayane climbed to the top of the huge stone wall and saw the desert land.

Sakumo and Baishi came alongside them one after the other.

"Ayane will go with me!"

"Yea!"

Even if it was a brief signal, the three of them knew of Sakumo's plan.

The enemy that Sakumo would pursue was arguably the most troublesome. Right now, he needed Ayane's eyes to help him.

Find the traces of male and female puppet masters and get rid of both.

From now on, it's time for Konoha to fight the land ninjas and hunt down the sand ninjas on the run.

So the Sakumo and Ayane group, Shiraishi and Ruri group, started looking.

After a while, Shiraishi and Ruri found the Take, and a dozen Konoha ninja followed one after the other, with more or less injuries, but not too serious.

The one who confronted Take before was also a jōnin, and there were several chūnin.

The two sides couldn't do anything for a while, but after the defeat of the male and female puppet division, this sand troop suddenly lost its backbone and could only retreat.

"In that case, I will follow you and look for you. This time I must avenge my dead comrades!"

Take had a look of resentment.

He also heard a little about this troop of sand roaming the land of fire. He attacked five or six outposts established by Konoha within the Land of Fire's territory, killing and wounding dozens of Konoha ninja, and many of them were alone.

If it wasn't for the Sakumo squad that was here to supply supplies, all of the Konoha ninja at this outpost would likely be annihilated.

Saying goodbye to Take, let him lead the other Konoha ninja and start hunting down another road.

If you encounter a strong enemy, you should mainly send a signal.

Even if an accident occurs, it can be supported in time.

"By the way, Ruri, I have a good way to hook them."

As he ran, Baishi suddenly laughed.

"What do you think about?"

"After all, this is the quickest way to end the battle. Turns out Mr. Sakumo and Ayane aren't here, so I don't have to try my best to hide my strength."

With that, Baishi suddenly quickened his pace and ran, and instantly opened a long distance from Ruri and disappeared from his eyes.

Ruri looked to where Baishi disappeared with the double tomoe of her Sharingan, not saying a word, as if tacitly approving the method the other party had said.

Half an hour later, Baishi arrived at an empty and peaceful wood. In front of him was a stream of clear water and some fish were playing in it.

Shiraishi looked around, picked up a jagged piece of rock near the stream, walked to the side of the tree and stopped, preparing to mark the tree with the piece of rock.

The cold touch made him shiver.

The palm that holds the kunai is made of wood, and the arms that come out of the black sleeves are also smooth and hairless, and there are rounded joints that some dolls have.

puppets.

"Throw away the stone and raise your hands."

It was a cold female voice.

Shiraishi obediently threw away the pieces of stone in his hand, and then raised his hands, naturally, a touch of cold sweat broke out on his face.
