Escape From Konoha

A depressing atmosphere brewed in the forest.

The sound of footsteps stepping on the branches resounded in the forest. Judging from the crisp sound, the speed of the running person was quite fast.

Although running like this would consume a lot of energy, Naruto, who was focused on running, didn't care about it.

Because he could hear the footsteps of the middle-aged man behind him getting closer and closer to him, the biting chill made his face a little flustered and nervous.

Unlike the wandering samurai in the team in the mission, although he did not wear a ninja forehead, Naruto can know that the middle-aged man who kidnapped him before and even chased him after him is a genuine ninja.

And that terrifying and murderous aura that is beyond words is by no means an ordinary ninja.

Naruto's legs and feet were a little weak just because of the murderous aura emitted by the other party.

In this case, it is very dangerous to fight against the opponent.

He was able to take advantage of the other party's carelessness and escape for the first time, but if he was caught this time, he might not end well.

Killed by you, this stinky fox! Naruto complained in his heart.

Even though he hasn't met the demon fox in his body since he was born, it doesn't prevent Naruto from complaining about it.

From the man's mouth, he learned that the other party's purpose seemed to be to get the nine-tailed demon fox in his body.

That's why he was kidnapped here.

His 'container' might just be a hostage attached to the middle-aged man.

Although Naruto knew that his brain was slow and it took a long time to react to many things, it didn't mean that he was stupid.

When there is no chance of winning alone, it is the best choice to make noise and attract reinforcements.

As for whether it will attract other enemies... This situation is not considered, because no matter how bad the situation is, it will not be worse than it is now.

I have been kidnapped for a certain period of time, Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke must have noticed it.

If Kakashi is attracted, then his crisis will be lifted.

Naruto, who was thinking this way, ran away faster.

His physical strength is still sufficient, better than Sasuke and Sakura, and his stamina is also very strong. It is not a problem to maintain this state and run for an hour.

However, the middle-aged man did not intend to give Naruto the time to attract reinforcements.

This time they, Kumogakure, discovered the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki in the Land of Waves. It was an unexpected surprise, but because the incident was too sudden, it resulted in a serious shortage of manpower.

The companions who stayed put and pretended to be the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki were ready to sacrifice.

He couldn't waste his companion's life in exchange for the opportunity he got.

If people in Konoha find out that the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki is missing, they will definitely search the entire Land of Waves like crazy.

We must leave the Country of Waves before they react.

Otherwise the operation is a failure.

Naruto's back gradually enlarged in his eyes, getting very close to the other person's body.

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, a large amount of chakra gathered under his feet in an instant, disappeared from the spot the next moment, jumped into the air, and then passed over Naruto's head and settled in front of Naruto.

Naruto's face changed drastically, and he stopped in a hurry.

The opponent's face was wrapped with a bandage, and his right eye was scratched and basically useless. The originally white bandage was stained red with blood.

It was originally a medical bandage to stop bleeding, but it had not been treated with medical ninjutsu, so the effect of stopping bleeding was not very good.

"Nine-tailed brat, you have completely angered me now! I hate your eyes. I will not only break your limbs, but also dig out your eyes!"

Like the declaration of an evil spirit, the middle-aged man lost an eye because of Naruto's sneak attack, and his heart was filled with rage.

"You, who are you?"

Naruto took an unnatural step back.

murderous look.

It was this murderous aura that shocked his body and spirit again.

Feeling such a real murderous intent for the first time, Naruto's breathing intensified, as if seeing a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in front of his eyes, his vision became a little blurred, and his hands and feet began to tremble slightly.

The middle-aged man didn't answer Naruto's question. He didn't know when Konoha's reinforcements would arrive, and wasting time here would only lead to the failure of his task of transferring Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Therefore, when he saw Naruto's eyes were shocked by his murderous aura, and he was in a trance for a moment, the middle-aged man immediately stepped forward and rushed towards Naruto.

Naruto heard the footsteps and his body reacted subconsciously, quickly taking out a kunai from his ninja bag.

boom!

A kick hit Naruto directly in the chest.

Naruto screamed, and he felt the bones in his chest shattering, making a snapping sound.

The body flew away like an offline kite, and then rolled to the ground in an extremely embarrassed manner, covered in mud.

The kunai in his hand was already shaking because of the tremors in his hand, and he was unable to throw it aside.

So fast! Naruto deeply felt the gap in physical strength between himself and his enemies.

Not only the speed, but also the attack is very simple and crude, without any unnecessary movements.

If that murderous aura was shocking, he should barely be able to react.

But it was this invisible power that became a big mountain weighing on Naruto's heart.

He planned to use delaying tactics to use his body to gradually adapt to the opponent's murderous aura and restore his body to a normal level, but obviously the opponent did not give him this opportunity.

Looking at Naruto tremblingly getting up from the ground, several ribs on his chest were kicked off and he was vomiting blood in his mouth, but he still forced his body to stand up with his willpower. The middle-aged man was surprised at Naruto's resistance. Strike ability.

Thinking of the identity of the opponent's Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, the middle-aged man felt relieved.

Beings like tailed beast jinchūriki have their own physiques that are different from ordinary people. In addition, due to the tailed beasts in their bodies, their vitality and other aspects will undergo another mutation.

A fatal injury to an ordinary ninja, but not necessarily fatal to a tailed beast jinchūriki.

Even so, the middle-aged man was not afraid.

Compared to mature Jinchuriki, those like Naruto who have not grown up are the easiest to capture and deal with.

Naruto just stood up and groaned in pain again, but was too stubborn not to scream out loud.

At this moment, his body was stepped on by the middle-aged man's feet, and he stepped hard on his chest, exactly where the ribs were broken.

Not only that, the middle-aged man also turned his foot left and right on Naruto's chest several times, as if he wanted to crush all of Naruto's ribs before he stopped.

"Is it painful, Kyuubi brat? It doesn't matter, it will be even more painful down there!"

The middle-aged man looked at Naruto's expression of pain and fear, and seemed to appreciate the other's desperate expression.

But he also knew that time could not be wasted, so he had no intention of continuing to talk nonsense. He quickly took out a kunai from his ninja bag, with a ferocious smile on his face, and a fierce light appeared in his remaining left eye, looking at Naruto's right eye.

So, he held the kunai in his backhand and stabbed Naruto's right eye without any explanation.

Naruto struggled even more fiercely. If he let this kunai fall, his right eye would definitely be damaged.

Suddenly, a sharp and piercing sound of birdsong sounded in the woods.

Dazzling lightning also flashed in the forest, flying towards him.

The middle-aged man felt inexplicably panicked and subconsciously backed away, not daring to stay where he was.

Thunder Release: Chidori is Konoha Hatake Kakashi's special move. Countless ninjas have died from this move.

Once hit, human flesh and blood cannot resist it.

The most striking feature of this move is that when it is executed, the sound is like a thousand birds singing in unison, sharp and harsh, even if the ears are blocked, it will not help, and it is frightening.

However, what shocked the middle-aged man was that the ninja standing in front of him at this moment was not Hatake Kakashi. Although he was wearing Konoha's ninja forehead protector on his forehead, he was only about twelve or thirteen years old, obviously underage. .

But the thunder light emitting from his hand cannot be faked.

This little devil! The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, knowing that he had been tricked.

The person who came was not Kakashi Hatake at all.

Thinking about it, if that man came over, he would probably not even be able to react, and his throat would be instantly wiped to death by the White Fang dagger. There was no need to unleash any A-level ninjutsu on him.

After all, Thunder Release Chidori is a super-high-level ninjutsu that consumes a lot of chakra, and because it is extremely noisy, it is not suitable for assassination at all. Instead, it seems to be a target deliberately raised to the surface in order to divert people's attention.

"The last descendant of Uchiha? What a smart kid. Then I'll take you with me too!"

The next target of the Kingdom of Thunder is the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Unlike Konoha, which has almost lost the blood of the Uchiha clan, the Kingdom of Demons is still cultivating ninjas from the Uchiha clan.

And every adult Uchiha ninja is very powerful.

If you want to defeat the Kingdom of Demons, you have to study the Sharingan, the blood inheritance limit.

Uchiha Itachi's whereabouts were so erratic that Kumogakure's intelligence system could not pinpoint him.

In addition to strength, it is also a difficult point that is not easy to capture.

On the contrary, the orphan of Konoha Uchiha who has not yet grown up is the best hostage.

However, because it was too important to avoid too much movement and the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki was too important, only one person was targeted.

Now that the other party came to his door, he had no intention of letting him go.

Quick victory! The middle-aged man figured this out and immediately released a strong murderous aura from his body to frighten this Uchiha genin who didn't know the heights of the world.

Sure enough, feeling the middle-aged man's murderous intent that had almost turned into reality, Sasuke's face changed with shock, and he looked at the man warily.

The middle-aged man did not hesitate and rushed forward, intending to quickly subdue the opponent with physical skills.

"Fire Escape——"

Sasuke's hand had not yet been raised.

"too slow!"

The middle-aged man walked around behind Sasuke and slashed at the back of Sasuke's neck with his sword.

Which one, Sasuke turned around at an astonishing speed, raised his finger ready to form a seal, drew a kunai from his ninja bag like flowing water, and cut through the air in front of him.

The middle-aged man trembled and jumped to the side to avoid the attack.

Sasuke didn't give the opponent a chance to breathe. He gathered chakra under his feet and rushed forward. His speed suddenly increased, and his dark pupils were filled with calmness.

Damn it, this kid is not afraid of my murderous intent at all! The middle-aged man discovered a somewhat unexpected fact.

That means Sasuke can move freely without interference under his murderous intent.

Moreover, raising your hand to form a seal to use Fire Release is also a decoy feint, but an attempt to lure the enemy deeper from the beginning and take advantage of them to attack unprepared.

As a last resort, the middle-aged man also took out a kunai and fought with Sasuke.

The kunai of the two clashed fiercely in the air, splashing sparks caused by the fierce battle.

Sasuke's skillful physical skills and lightning-fast movements are all reflected in Sasuke's body.

Even in terms of strength, he performed very well.

For a moment, the middle-aged man was once again shocked by the fact that Sasuke could compete head-on with him in physical skills.

What a joke, a genin could do this!

The middle-aged man's mood is very complicated.

Although he is not a real jounin, he is also a member of the special jounin. He is good at hiding and has the secret ability to avoid sensory ninjutsu, so he was specially promoted to be a special jounin in the village.

But it doesn't mean that he is not strong in other fields. Even though one eye was severely damaged, his taijutsu, body reflexes and speed were somewhat reduced, but they were not comparable to those of genin.

And being able to swim freely in his own murderous realm, the middle-aged man realized that it was not an easy task to take down Sasuke in a short time.

But soon, he noticed an abnormal point.

That is, Sasuke's face turned a bit unnaturally white, and there was more and more cold sweat on his face, as if he was having a hard time coping.

trap?

No, it may be that some kind of secret technique was used to forcibly enhance physical skills.

The middle-aged man judged this.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Just when the middle-aged man was about to step forward to test, Naruto's voice suddenly sounded not far away.

The middle-aged man turned his head and immediately saw a dozen Narutos running towards them, holding kunai in their hands, and launched a charge attack that seemed to result in a common death.

"This nine-tailed imp—"

How can it be?

I clearly injured him severely!

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man saw a girl with cherry-colored hair not far away, standing next to Naruto's body.

Damn, is she a medical ninja?

The middle-aged man miscalculated again.

He didn't expect that just a few genin could cause him so much trouble.

"Earth Escape·Rock Collapse!"

The middle-aged man quickly abandoned Sasuke, jumped back, then formed a seal, and pressed his palm on the ground.

The ground directly cracked, and a dozen Naruto clones fell into the cracks in the cracked earth amid panicked screams, and disappeared into white smoke.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Seeing the clones disappear, Naruto formed a seal again, and this time there were still more than a dozen shadow clones.

Launch a suicidal charge like before.

"..."

Is this Konoha's Shinobi? The middle-aged man felt that he was not fighting a group of genin.

The Shadow Clone Technique is a ninjutsu that consumes a lot of chakra. Generally, no one will use it in frontal combat, but rather to collect intelligence.

Using so many shadow clones one after another, not to mention the consumption of chakra, the mental backlash is not something that ordinary people can resist.

In particular, injuries, pain and other negative conditions suffered by the clone will also be transmitted back to the main body, which will be borne by the main body.

But after seeing Naruto's nonchalant expression after the shadow clone disappeared, the middle-aged man began to fall into self-doubt.

◎

"Even though he has a body of steel and iron, he can still scream when he needs to."

Seeing the giant Nekomata being dragged into the swamp by the giant water snake, it roared madly and struggled to break free from the snake's restraints. Ichiji had a smile in his eyes, as if he admired the other party's embarrassing posture.

The factory buildings were almost completely destroyed, and the water tower and power supply facilities were basically in a state of scrap and could not be used.

But Yiji, who originally planned to use this place as a battlefield, had no idea of ​​rebuilding a military factory here.

It was a pity that the ninjas of Konoha were not ambushed, but if they could capture a tailed beast, it would be a worthwhile trip.

"Roar----"

Nekomata roared again, and all the chakra in Nekomata's body exploded further.

After realizing that he could not break free from the shackles of the water snake with his body, he had no choice but to activate more chakra in his body and impact the outside space.

A deafening loud noise spread toward the surrounding area at an explosive speed in the swamp of the factory.

The sonic boom that carried the storm not only further destroyed the ruins of the factory, but also caused every tree in the forest outside the factory to be blown down by the hurricane and uprooted from the ground.

The water snake formed by the condensation of water flow, part of its body turned into disintegrating water droplets and scattered into the air.

The water snake lost its complete form, and its restraining power was greatly reduced.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the cat roared again.

All the mud under his feet flew away, and a huge crack formed under Nekomata's feet, extending to Ichihime's feet.

Yi Ji had no choice but to jump away to avoid falling into the crack.

"sucker Punch."

Kazuki looked at Maomata who was mad, and commented like this.

The Water Dragon God's ability is very special, especially the ability to absorb chakra. For huge creatures like tailed beasts, the Water Dragon God is very restrained.

Coupled with the second ability of almost immortality, the tailed beast's physical attacks cannot bring any fatal blow to the Water Dragon God.

Sure enough, the Water Dragon God turned into water droplets and dispersed. The water droplets that flew out seemed to be summoned by something and began to gather together. In an instant, they condensed into a giant water snake again.

With his tongue hanging out, his scarlet vertical pupils stared at Nekomata who was in a state of rage.

Seeing the chakra fluctuations in Nekomata's body becoming a little unstable, as if out of control, Kazuki was thoughtful.

"As expected, it's not a perfect jinchuriki. The jinchuriki and the tailed beast's chakra are starting to repel each other in the body."

If it were a perfect Jinchuuriki, it would be impossible for the tailed beast's chakra to go berserk.

The only explanation is that the wooden figurine has not yet matured the skill of perfecting the perfect renjuriki. Before controlling the tailed beast to fight, I am afraid that the burden on her cannot be underestimated.

In this case, releasing the tailed beast state is the best option.

But Yukito knew very well that once the tailed beast's true form was released, she would be quickly suppressed by Ichiki.

Is there only a temporary retreat here? Yukito, who was in the tailed beast's body space, began to bite his fingers unwillingly and fell into a dilemma.

Although I really want to deal with Kazuki, a future enemy with unlimited potential, the most important thing now is to escape from the enemy's encirclement.

If he is really caught by the Kingdom of Demons, he still doesn't know what problems the other party will pose for Yunyin next.

Moreover, she was also a little worried about the retreating group of Kumogakure's subordinates.

The action of stealing research data from the Kingdom of Demons can be said to be a failure. At present, conserving strength and returning to Kumogakure safely is the best option.

On the next battlefield, let the people of Oni Country and Konoha continue to fight.

Thinking of this, Yumu Ren wanted to retreat.

The tailed beast's chakra has been almost consumed, so I will use this move to decide the outcome and seal it. Looking at Nekomata's strange-colored eyes, Ichiji thought to himself.

So, under Maoyou's vigilant look, Chakra emerged from behind Ichihime, and quickly gathered into a pair of huge Chakra wings, flapped in the air, and the body immediately flew off the ground into the air.

Flying ninjutsu? The secret of peacock in the Star Ninja Village? Yukito was surprised when he saw Ichiki flying into the air.

The Bear Country is now a satellite of the Oni Country, and the Hoshi Ninja Village has naturally been fully taken over by the Oni Country's military.

The foundation of Star Ninja Village is a ninjutsu called Peacock Magic.

It is a very rare flying ninjutsu in the ninja world.

But what to do in the air? Yumu was confused.

Are you planning to release some ninjutsu from the sky?

Yiji flew into the air, looked down at the ground, looked at the completely destroyed factory, and the huge seaside forest around it, and nodded slightly.

"It shouldn't be affected at this height."

Lei Mingmaru looked at Ichihime who had already flew into the air, without hesitation, his body turned into lightning, and began to flee the scene.

Oops! Seeing Lei Mingwan fleeing, Yumuren knew that Ichihime would definitely accumulate a very terrifying move to attack her next.

Although I believe that the defensive power of the Tailed Beast can block it, but now her Chakra and Tailed Beast are starting to repel it, and this state cannot be maintained for long.

We cannot sit still and wait for death.

So, the wooden man immediately controlled Erwei Maoyou's body, and kicked off the ground to accelerate.

Faster than Nekomata is the Water Dragon God.

It entwined around Maoyou's body again, tightening its grip. Even though the sharp cat's claws were tearing at it frantically, the water dragon god couldn't feel the pain, and let the cat attack, and didn't intend to let go.

Not only that, it began to devour Mao Mata's tailed beast chakra, making the opponent's resistance weaker and weaker.

Just when the wooden man planned to trigger all the chakras of the two tails and break free from the shackles of the water dragon god again, Ichihime in the sky started to move.

She just took out a metal device like a remote control from her pocket lightly.

The device is very delicate, with only one red button on it, which is very conspicuous.

Looking at Maomata who was bound by the water dragon god on the ground, struggling desperately to escape, Kazuki put her finger on the red button without hesitation, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"You also come to experience the feeling of going to heaven, it will make you unforgettable forever, little cat."

With that said, he pressed the red button with a snap.

No warning.

From the perspective of the wooden man, the whole world is shrouded in brilliant light.

There was no sound in my ears, and my consciousness went blank.

A terrifying shock erupted from the ground.

The beam of flame light was like a light that destroyed the world, starting from the center of the factory and penetrating into the sky, clearing away the dark clouds and thunder in the sky, and shining down with brilliant sunlight.

…

Everyone stared blankly in the direction of the fire pillar, not knowing what happened there, but without exception, everyone's faces were very dull.

Immediately afterwards, an uncontrollable storm hit like a raging storm.

Rows of tall trees in the forest were blown loudly.

All ninjas who are fighting firmly place their chakras on the soles of their feet and fix them on the ground so as not to be blown away by the wind.

"This, this is art!"

In the sky above the sea area, Didara, who flew to the main island of Nanamuni on a white bird, also looked at the location of the factory with dull and obsessive eyes.

Although the power of the explosion is not the absolute standard for Didara to evaluate instant art, the impact of the explosion that swept away the clouds and thunder and made the world bright again seemed to give the whole world a new sense of renewal.

The light that broke through the shackles in the darkness made Didara's mind feel incomparably shocked and warm.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is a bit unbelievable.

But Deidara, who regarded the moment of explosion as aesthetics, believed that the horrific explosion in front of him was a genuine art.

The artist's paranoia made Deidara obsessed with explosions.

It also means that practicing one's own art is violence against others.

"Is the other party also an artist who loves instant explosions? Hmm."

Didara said excitedly.

In that way, it was as if I had seen my soulmate in life, and even if I died for him, I would have no regrets in this life.

"That's just blasting."

Scorpion said on the side.

Indifferent to the explosion in front of me.

Explosion art or something, it's just crooked.

For him, the momentary explosion is like the fading family affection when he was a child. Although the moment of the explosion is beautiful, it is over before he experiences it carefully, which is regrettable and painful.

Therefore, preserving ‘existence’ forever is art.

There is absolutely no recognition of the instantaneous aesthetics of explosions.

"No, Brother Scorpion, that is the ultimate art I pursue!"

Deidara's expression was very intoxicated, and he was very sure that this was the artistic beauty he had been pursuing.

All explosions should be beautiful.

This is the true meaning of life that Deidara realized in his short life of more than ten years.

"Idiot! No matter what it is, prepare to seize the food from the tiger's mouth. I will not be responsible for your death!"

Scorpion angrily began to teach Deidara a lesson. He picked up a torn scroll in his hand with the word 'three' written on it.

The next battle will not be easy, so Xion intends to use all his strength from the beginning.

"Well, let's meet my fellow artists! Yeah!"

Deidara also responded to Scorpion, and the white bird under his feet suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the main island of the Country of Waves.
