Shukaku's Rebellion

Seeing that many sand ninjas had surrounded them, the three began to float in their inner emotions for some time, but this emotional fluctuation was quickly suppressed.

Now that the boat is ready, panicking here will make your situation even more dangerous.

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

Shiraishi asked.

"Including the sand ninja who didn't act, there are a total of 176 people, and there are currently 103 sand ninjas attacking us."

This area is not very big. Ayane can see the enemy's number and location with the Byakugan.

"One hundred and three people, which means that each person has to deal with thirty-four enemies on average. That's a big problem."

What's more, to set off the riot, Ruri has already consumed a large amount of chakra, and it is estimated that half of the chakra is now left in her body.

To deal with common enemies, the remaining half of the chakra is enough to deal with, but in the face of so many sand ninjas, there is no shortage of jōnin ninjas, no matter how you look at it, it's a bad situation that is impossible to overcome.

"In the next battle, save your chakra and use natural energy to fight."

Shiraishi looked at Ruri and told her.

Ruri nodded.

Compared with inexhaustible natural energy, Chakra should economize in this situation, and only use it at critical moments.

"Now change tactics, Ayane, you are responsible for finding a way out with your Byakugan, and Ruri and I are responsible for the fight. Find the weakest point and run away."

Before, causing a ruckus, it was mainly Ruri's fire technique that was used, with Shiraishi and Ayane protecting her from any attack.

But now to find a way out, you can only count on Ayane's eyes, and he and Ruri are responsible for the protection operation.

"I'll try my best."

Ayane's face was grim.

There are many sand ninjas here,

"Let's go back and talk about the mission. The important thing now is to get out of here. If there's no problem, take action!"

Not only did the misinformation irritate Ruri and Ayane, but Shiraishi's mood was also extremely bad.

But right now, it is impossible to be irrational. At this point, we must think rationally and find a way to escape.

Regardless of whether the village had planned to use their team as bait from the start, or if there was something wrong with the ninja at the root.

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

"Follow me!"

Ayane didn't talk nonsense, their lives were at stake, and she had to do her best to find a way out.

Shiraishi and Ruri also followed.

At the same time, the two of them abandoned the mobilization of the Chakras in their bodies, but they calmed down completely and began to absorb the surrounding natural energy.

Due to the different locations, there will also be a problem with large and small amounts of natural energy, which will affect the speed of extraction of natural energy.

However, this is a forested area, and the natural energy floating in the trees and the air is very rich. In less than a few seconds, Shiraishi and Ruri filled their bodies 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 wouldn't be a problem to crush the ground with one punch.

But now is not the time to be happy with the increase in strength. After all, there are a hundred elite Sand Ninjas, and there are more than a few that are difficult to deal with. Once they are tangled up, it will be difficult to get out.

At this point you should be happy that there is a Kunoichi Hyuga on the team, you can alert about the fake supply in advance, otherwise, you will only find out that this is a fake supply point at the end then you can only wait for the death.

Before the sand ninja formed a tight siege, Ayane had already found the weakest point, where only twenty-nine sand ninja surrounded it.

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

Ding-Ding!

Shiraishi picked up Kunai and deflected the shurikens flying in front.

Then he quickly confronted two Sand Shinobi.

In the dark and lightless forest, only silhouettes were seen moving quickly, and there were fierce sparks after Kunai's collision.

The two sand ninjas discovered that Shiraishi's strength was very powerful, and they couldn't help but moan in pain just as they fought, their arms were extremely sore, and the Kunai in their hands was unsteady.

Then, as they adjusted their stances and went to look for Shiraishi, Ruri, who was in charge of the rearguard, also caught up with the two Sand Ninjas and quickly resolved them with one kunai from each.

Due to the high speed, the three spared no effort to quickly eliminate the fierce enemy that blocked the way.

"Wind Style: Gale!"

A violent gale charged from behind and large numbers of kunai and shuriken were mixed with the violent wind.

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

But these little tricks were solved by Ruri who after strengthening her body with natural energy became stronger and faster, easily knocking down flying kunai and shuriken.

bang!

However, some kunai were attached to the explosive talisman, and the shock wave generated by the blast suddenly shook Ruri's small body, and she flew out, reluctantly staying on a branch, her face turning pale.

"Don't let them escape!"

"Kill these Konoha ninjas!"

There were voices of people moving around, and screams of killing were also heard from all directions.

In this group of sand ninjas, there are perceptive ninjas with remarkable abilities. No matter where Shiraishi and the others want to break through, there are sand ninjas constantly chasing them.

Also, the number of sand ninjas is increasing, and the sand ninjas blocking the front are all elites, and they are not afraid of death to delay the escape time of Shiraishi and others and strive for the arrival of reinforcements.

"Stop fighting!"

Seeing the unhappy look on Ruri's face, Shiraishi knew what she wanted to do. With this unprecedented suffocation battle, she must have built up a terrible rage in her heart by now, and she wanted to fight this group of sand ninjas.

But now is not the time to be moody.

Even with their natural energy, they are not invincible.

In the siege of a large number of sand ninjas, there is only one dead end.

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

Ruri snorted, and the detonating talisman exploded beside her now, which made her chest tighten and also kindled the fighting spirit boiling in her heart.

"..."

I don't want that either. Shiraishi sighed.

These sand ninjas are chasing them like mad dogs, and they're not a major supply point. Do they need to work so hard?

At this moment, the earth suddenly shook.

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

Those who were chasing were similar, and they also didn't expect the earthquake to come suddenly, and they all became unstable.

"Wait, that's-"

"Damn, don't you say you're foolproof?"

This group of sand ninjas seemed to know something, and their tone was filled with fear and confusion.

It comes from fear of something.

Great!

The strong tremor continued to shake the earth.

The crowd had no idea what was going on.

"What happened?"

This abnormal vibration is nothing like the power humans can wield.

Then, along with the monster's roar, the air was filled with extremely terrifying and cold chakra for some time, which made people feel numb in the scalp as if there was a large stone in the heart, and it was difficult to breathe.

Shiraishi was also shocked by this powerful chakra, which should be quite far away, but this chakra of unknown origin can penetrate the atmospheric barrier and pass through here.

Even so, this powerful chakra surpassed the understanding of normal people.

The earth continued to shake and horrible cracks began to appear in the ground.

The trees in the forest began to shake, and the violent hurricane raged in the distance. Even if you wanted to escape right now, you couldn't escape.

Shiraishi had no choice but to grab the shell beside him and hold it tightly with chakra to keep his balance.

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

Not only Shiraishi and the others but even the Sand Ninjas were covered in a cold sweat, shocked by this powerful chakra.

After finally waiting for the vibration to subside, just when everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a huge mountain-black shadow rose from the forest, like an impassable mountain, appearing in front of everyone.

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

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

"Shukaku has been released!!!!"

"Is this monster out of control?"

"Damn, didn't you say it's foolproof?"

"What did the Konoha ninja do? Dammit!"

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

They just set it on fire tonight and didn't do anything else, how could it be possible to let this unknown monster out.

That said, the origin of this mountain-like monster is suspect.

For the first time, Shiraishi's concept of the ninja profession was a bit vague.

In his opinion, Ruri's fire ninjutsu is a rare high-level technique, and the waves of fire it creates can set off a forest.

However, compared to this unknown giant monster, I'm afraid it only needs to move its body to inflict more destructive power than fire ninjutsu.

"Hahahaha, that uncle is finally out again!"

The monster raised its head and laughed, looking both happy and destructively excited.

It stands in the forest as an enormous fortress-like body and, by visual perception alone, is a monster incomparable to humans.

It exudes an aura of violence and destruction throughout the body. With a slight flick of its sandy-yellow tail behind him, a forest was swept away. The storm uprooted the trees, and the ground gave a shuddering groan. He was also involved, and the terrifying screams made people feel scared.

The whole place was silent.
