Escape From Konoha

boom!

The blue chakra ball caught off guard and accurately hit the mask on Wuzhi's face.

Pushed by the violent energy generated by the chakra ball, Wu Zhi's body suddenly lost balance and collided hard with the ground.

As a result, the ground beneath her body cracked under the impact of her body, opening up a semicircular pit.

Wu Zhi was seen lying on his back, lying in a pit in an embarrassed posture. Since the chakra ball hit his face directly, his head sank deeper into the ground than the rest of his body.

Naruto's sneak attack surprised many people.

Turning the main body and shadow clone into kunai, and then projecting it out from the shadow clone, Wu Zhi mistakenly thought that he was at the end of the road, and then went around to carry out an unexpected sneak attack.

This tactic can be said to fully demonstrate the flexibility of combining shadow clones with transformation techniques.

Even among the ninjas in the audience, only a very small number of people saw through this from the outside, and most of them only realized it at the end.

Seeing Wu Zhi being beaten down in a pothole by Naruto's ninjutsu also touched the hearts of many people. They were all guessing that the battle would not end suddenly like this, right?

Just as they were thinking this, Wu Zhi, who was lying in the pit, suddenly moved his fingers.

The depths of the originally dark eye sockets once again lit up with a blood-red light, with a solemn indifference, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.

Naruto seemed to have noticed something strange on Wu Zhi's body. Without thinking, Naruto stepped back directly, keeping a safe distance from Wu Zhi, giving himself a sense of security.

His intuition told him that although the Rasengan successfully hit Wu Zhi, the battle might not end so easily.

Although the aura exuded by the opponent has weakened, it is still very staring and has the strength to fight back.

Wu Zhi stood up slowly from the hole, and as she stood up straight, the sand and stones on the priestess' clothes also shook off from the clothes, and then she patted the priestess clothes on her body lightly as if nothing had happened, and wiped the clothes off. The dust on it continues to be cleaned.

After she dusted herself off, a clicking sound came from her face, and cracks appeared on Sen Bai's strange ghost mask.

At the corner of the mask, a small piece of white mask fragment fell to the ground, bouncing up and down again.

"Is that magical thing on your face finally falling apart? I advise you to take it off."

Looking at the mask on Wuzhi's face that was about to shatter, Naruto wiped his nose and smiled.

"I'm sorry, but this is an important 'offer' in the ceremony, it will be completely troublesome if it is broken."

As he said that, Wuzhi flicked his palm in front of him, the black mist surged, and the blood-colored glint in the black hole-like eye sockets became more and more intense.

In a moment, Wu Zhi's palm was removed from his face, and the pale grimace mask on his face returned to its original state.

And the small piece of white mask fragment that fell on the ground turned into a cloud of black air and disappeared.

Wuzhi's shoulders fluctuated slightly, and she began to pant. It seemed that repairing the mask on her face was exhausting for her.

"Next, I won't give you another chance."

Naruto's expression was slightly condensed, not knowing what Wuzhi meant when he said this.

Wuzhi ignored Naruto, but quickly put his hand into his sleeve, and then pulled it out.

Amulets with white and red letters floated in the air, forming a circle that surrounded Wuzhi's body.

The red inscription on the white talisman began to glow as Wuzhi put his palms together.

A head of long black hair rose up without wind, swaying and flying.

Naruto didn't know what Wuzhi was going to do, but seeing Wuzhi's gesture of preparing to release something, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he had to stop her.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

For a while, more than a dozen physical clones appeared around Naruto again, each holding a kunai in their hands. Under Naruto's command, they took up the kunai and charged with full momentum, like a group of dead soldiers who are not afraid of death.

However--

Surrounding Wuzhi's body, the talismans suspended in mid-air, using this as a boundary, seemed to isolate the space on both sides, drawing an invisible but solid barrier, blocking all the dozen shadow clones outside.

I saw the kunai in the hands of the shadow clones, when they stabbed the barrier that was no different from the air, they immediately shot out fierce sparks, unable to make an inch of progress.

"Damn it, it's almost there, break it open for me!"

More than a dozen shadow clones held Kunai, and kept stabbing and poking at the invisible barrier in front of them, but no matter how hard they tried, the invisible barrier in front of them was like a moat, preventing them from crossing over .

Just when the shadow clones were struggling with how to break the enchantment in front of them, Wuzhi, who was located in the center of the spell enchantment, had a new change in his body.

The space around her suddenly fell silent for some reason.

This kind of quiet made the shadow clones around her feel very uneasy.

It was as if a pair of invisible hands were grabbing their hearts, and bead-sized beads of sweat kept flowing out of their faces.

In Wuzhi's black hole-like pupils, the blood-colored karmic fire inside showed a tendency to start a prairie fire, ignited in the darkness, and then quickly expanded the entire pupils, dyeing the whites of the eyes and the pupils in blood red.

A pair of small and slightly pointed horns also protruded from the hair on both sides of Wuzhi's forehead, greedily absorbing the fresh air from outside.

"Has it been used so early? Konoha's yellow-haired boy is really clever. The shadow clone technique is really troublesome to interfere with the ability."

Looking at Kirizhi who had already taken one step closer to becoming a ghost, Hanami Haruka was speechless.

Although the strength and speed will be further enhanced as the demon becomes more advanced, this move consumes too much energy and chakra.

Even Wu Zhi, who has received rigorous training since childhood, does not have unlimited physical strength.

Now we can only hope that this game can be decided quickly.

Delaying it would be very detrimental to Wu Zhi.

"Without a moment, there is no way that they have not been eliminated until now. Ninja fighting is like building blocks. No matter how big an advantage you have accumulated before, as long as you are caught in the weak spot, it will collapse in an instant."

Asuka said seriously.

Before the finals, no one would have expected that Naruto would reach this point. Even he, from the beginning, never expected that Naruto would grow so quickly.

Moreover, it is more abnormal than rapid growth.

The opponent's strength needs to be re-evaluated.

"Wuzhi will not lose."

Hanami Haruka felt dissatisfied that her teammates were being underestimated.

"I hope so too."

But facing a chakra creature with "outside the rules" in its body, Asuka couldn't predict who would win at the end of the game.

After all, there is still a slight gap between the monsters kept in captivity at Oni no Kuni Shrine and the tailed beasts.

Otherwise, shrine maidens, monks, and samurai would not have declined after the Warring States Period and become accessories to the Ninja Era.

"Uh-huh!"

On the field, as a terrifying and oppressive aura erupted from Wu Zhi's body, more than a dozen Naruto shadow clones who were stagnant around them flew backwards as if they had been hit hard.

When several shadow clones were rolling on the ground, the explosion disappeared.

Although the remaining shadow clones did not disappear, they stood up from the ground in a panic, their throats rolled, and nervous colors appeared on their faces, staring at the petite girl figure in front of them.

The blood-colored eyeballs under Wuzhi's mask rolled slightly, then disappeared silently.

The surrounding space seemed to be frozen, and the sound of wind and breathing disappeared from my ears.

All that could be heard was the sound of footsteps reaching my ears from nowhere.

Boom.

Boom.

It sounded different from ordinary footsteps, like the sound of stepping on the air.

Moreover, this sound soon came from behind.

Naruto turned around hurriedly, and a figure suddenly stood behind him at some point, with blood-red eyes staring straight at him.

"film--"

boom!

Wuzhi raised his knee and hit Naruto in the stomach.

Naruto's body bowed like a shrimp, his mouth opened, and all the sounds were stuck in his throat. His internal organs seemed to be shifting. It was as uncomfortable as vomiting out all the breakfast he had eaten in the morning.

After receiving a heavy blow, Naruto's body rolled out. During the rolling process, his head came into contact with the ground several times. When he stopped, his head was already bruised and bleeding, and blood continued to flow from his head.

"Damn it! It's so fast, I can't even see the shadow!"

Naruto couldn't say that he couldn't see clearly at all, but even if he could see it, his body's reaction ability couldn't keep up at all, and he could only distinguish it through the sound.

Unnaturally, the beard on Naruto's face began to thicken and turn black, there was a faint red light in his blue pupils, and his nails became long and sharp.

Naruto saw the fog branch disappear again, and the thumping sound of trampling the air, like a reminder of death, lingered in his ears.

Naruto knew that the other party was about to catch up again.

I can't sit still.

Smelly fox, lend me your strength! Naruto yelled anxiously.

As the saying goes, things get better once again. Naruto, who felt embarrassed at first, now regards the power of the nine tails in his body as a trump card in his hand to win unexpectedly.

Because he discovered that after using the Nine-Tails Chakra, he could not only effectively heal his body's injuries and gain super recovery capabilities, but also enhance his strength, speed, and neurological response capabilities.

And for some reason, once he communicated with the power of Nine-Tails, his chakra control also rose to a higher level, as if all the limitations on his body had been opened.

This reminds Naruto that both Jiraiya and Kakashi seem to have said that the reason why their chakra control is poor is not their own fault, but because of the interference of Kyuubi, they cannot seal well and circulate chakra. This fact does not seem to be groundless.

But Naruto understood that now was not the time to think about such things. Even if there are as many questions as there are mountains, he still has to wait until after the finals, and then go to Jiraiya and Kakashi to verify some of his inner problems.

For now, we should focus on the game.

Wuzhi saw red chakra suddenly appearing from Naruto's body, and the aura emanating from that red chakra gave her the feeling that it was colder and more ominous than the monster in her body.

As a result, the speed suddenly increased.

Snapped!

The fist was caught by the palm.

Seeing that his accelerated attack was still caught by Naruto, Wuzhi's blood-colored eyes fluctuated slightly.

Naruto blushed, feeling that what he caught was not a fist, but a mountain.

My feet were under such strong pressure that they stepped on the ground and even took two steps back.

Even with the use of Nine-Tails' Chakra, it was still a step behind in the competition of strength.

Feeling the imposing aura of Wuzhi, Naruto knew that this was another extremely difficult battle.

The strength of the opponent is not weaker than the Gaara I met last time.

And in terms of body toughness, it seems to be stronger than Gaara. He took a spiral pill before and he still hasn't fallen down. This makes Naruto wonder if the opponent's body is made of steel, or there is something that can divert the injury. Mysterious means.

"Ha... finally caught you!"

Although it was very reluctant, Naruto was still happy that he caught Wuzhi's attack.

Now, the body's reaction force can barely keep up with the opponent's speed.

Wuzhi withdrew his fist in disbelief, raised his right foot, and swiped at Naruto's body.

Naruto quickly lay down and let Kirizhi's legs sweep over his head.

Although you can do it hard, it will undoubtedly increase the burden on your body.

At this time, save your energy.

Naruto stepped back, bit his finger with his mouth, formed a seal, and finally bent down and slapped it on the ground.

"Psychic art!"

An orange toad wearing an iron bracer emerged from the white smoke, fully armed, leaving no doubt that this toad possessed extraordinary strength.

This is the iron-armed toad of Mt. Myoboku, famous for its defensive capabilities like an iron wall.

The size is similar to that of an adult and looks very majestic.

When Wu Zhi saw the orange toad appearing, he paused for a moment, then put his feet on the ground and flew forward.

The iron-armed toad's yellow pupils turned slightly, saw the movement of the mist branches, and kicked off its hind legs.

A clanging sound.

The fist and the iron wrist guard collided together, spreading out a strong wind.

One person and one toad all stepped back because of the huge force erupted from the opponent's body.

However, compared to the five steps taken by the iron-armed toad, Wu Zhi, who only took three steps back, clearly had an advantage in strength.

"Leave it to me!"

Naruto's voice suddenly appeared.

"Rasengan!"

The sunlight above his head was blocked, and Naruto appeared there at some point, and with the assistance of a shadow clone, he unconsciously condensed a chakra ball in his right hand, aiming at Kirizhi's body to attack.

The fog branch tilted slightly and dodged Naruto's attack.

Hearing a rumble and explosion behind him, the Rasengan made a hole behind Wu Zhi, causing sand and rocks to fly.

Wuzhi couldn't be hit twice by the same attack. When she was fighting the Iron-Armed Toad, she was also on guard against Naruto repeating his same trick of sneak attacking her.

Wuzhi was about to turn around and attack Naruto when the iron-armed toad in front suddenly jumped up and pressed down from above.

Wu Zhi had no choice but to give up his plan to attack Naruto and dodge to the side.

However, when she dodged, the shadow clones that had been placed around by Naruto began to move.

Like Naruto, they were dyed with red chakra and charged with kunai.

Wu Zhi stabilized his figure, and his figure immediately rushed out, meeting a shadow clone in the blink of an eye.

With one punch, it was no surprise that the shadow clone's body exploded and dissipated into a cloud of smoke.

Then he flashed his figure again and used the same technique again to scatter the remaining shadow clones of Naruto.

Although these shadow clones are not strong, they can interfere at critical moments. Wu Zhi can only eliminate the existence of these shadow clones as much as possible.

But the next moment, Wu Zhi gave up the idea.

But seeing Naruto forming a seal again, extremely strong red chakra erupted from his body, and brand new shadow clones emerged from the smoke.

No matter how fast she was, she couldn't make it faster than Naruto could create a shadow clone.

"Stop her!"

Naruto ignored Wu Zhi's situation and commanded the shadow clones around him to surround and attack Wu Zhi.

He could see that Wu Zhi's state would not last forever. As long as he could survive this time, it would be his victory.

For a time, countless shadow clones swarmed forward. Although there were only dozens of them, they shouted with the momentum of thousands of troops, inspiring people.

"It looks like the situation is not good. How long does it take for Wu Zhi to become a ghost?"

Looking at the situation in the field below, Asuka also saw that the situation was slightly unfavorable for Wu Zhi's side, so he turned to look at Hanami Haruka.

Hanami Haruka said with a serious face: "Depending on the situation, generally speaking, it can only last for about fifteen to twenty minutes. However, it has been used once in the battle with Konoha's watermelon head before, and the mask just now Once it is shattered, the time to maintain ghost transformation will be further shortened."

Although Wuzhi doesn't look injured at all on the outside, Hanami Haruka knows that if he wants to keep his body uninjured, Wuzhi must sacrifice his own chakra to transfer the injury to the monster in his body, and the monster will replace him Take damage.

Therefore, in the previous battle with Xiao Li and when he was attacked by the Rasengan, Wu Zhi was unscathed.

Because the damage was transferred and borne by the monster, Wu Zhi, the magician, only consumed physical strength and chakra.

If it is not a one-on-one match, then she can use her telemedicine ninjutsu to support Wuzhi, prolonging her ghosting time, and without sacrificing her chakra and physical strength, she can transfer the injury to her body The monsters allow Wu Zhi to explode more unscrupulously.

However, this is a one-on-one duel.

Except for the force used by myself, any external intervention is illegal.

"Is that true? There is some limit to that kind of increase."

Asuka nodded, which was pretty much what he had judged.

Although the ghost state will greatly enhance one's physical skills, it is impossible to maintain it for a long time with a body like Wu Zhi's that has not yet been fully developed.

A twelve-year-old body has its limits after all.

He has only seen one case of a monster like Ichi that goes beyond common sense.

This technique, which allows one to transform into a ghost and temporarily gain powerful power, essentially belongs to the same category as the Eight Gate Dunjia, and has a time limit.

The difference is that because of the 'contract', the monsters will not backlash too much against the magician Wu Zhi. They will only consume physical strength and chakra, but will not cause any damage to the body.

On the field, Wu Zhi was completely surrounded by Naruto's shadow clones.

The purpose of these shadow clones was just to drag down Wu Zhi and wear down her physical strength and chakra so that she would not have time to attack Naruto's true body.

"This guy's physical strength is so strong that he hasn't fallen down yet."

Looking at Wuzhi who kept reducing the number of his shadow clones, the corners of Naruto's mouth were also a little bitter.

From a positive point of view, I have no chance of winning at all, and now I can only fight a war of attrition.

Although the destructive power of the spiral pill is powerful, it is too slow to use.

Moreover, he used tactics to deceive the opponent once before, and the same trick could not be successful twice.

No matter how powerful the attack is, it's meaningless if it doesn't hit.

And his own wind escape is of no use here at all. The rest, he can only continue to use the stupid method of shadow clone technique, relying on the advantage of numbers to slowly wear down the opponent's physical strength.

Other than that, Naruto couldn't find a second way to win.

Wu Zhi, who was in the encirclement, also knew that if this continued, he would be the first to fall.

And because Naruto's body was mixed into the shadow clone again, she couldn't tell which one was the body at this time.

The time for ghosting is coming to an end. If she doesn't find out where the opponent's main body is, the match will end in her defeat without accident.

Furthermore, using Ghost Transformation twice a day, her body gradually began to be overwhelmed.

Now we must find a new breakthrough.

——Help me swallow his chakra!

Wuzhi began to communicate with the other monster in his body.

Obscene beast.

That is the body of the jet-black tentacles.

In ancient times, it was a monster that preyed on female chakras.

Although the personality is unique among monsters, this guy's ability is undoubtedly the most difficult one among the monsters he has contracted.

——You don’t want to eat men’s chakra.

The tone sounded soft, but revealed the meaning of rejection.

This rejection reaction was not what Wu Zhi had expected.

She gritted her teeth secretly, but there was nothing she could do about this maverick monster.

——After that, I will continue the exorcism ceremony with you for ten days.

If she hadn't been desperate, Wu Zhi wouldn't have wanted to bribe this shameless monster in this way. As a 'slave', Wu Zhi wouldn't have considered her master at all.

Although the longer the ritual goes on, it means that she can absorb more nutrients that the monsters devoured from the enemy and feed them back to her body, thereby strengthening her body. The only flaw is that this kind of feedback requires a long and cumbersome ritual process...

But when she thought of this guy's limbs crawling around on her body, Wu Zhi felt that her legs under her skirt began to tremble and her body became hot.

——No, one month.

——Too much, fifteen days at most, don’t go too far!

Wu Zhi hopes that the other party will stop.

——We are all girls, there is no need to be so defensive about me. Compared to your mother and grandmother, you really have no awareness of being a miko at all. Then let me teach you the 'love' between girls.

The soft voice sounded in my mind again.

Wu Zhi's heart was not shaken by the other party's words.

After so many years of hard training, even in the face of such evil spirits that arouse evil desires in people's hearts, they can remain calm.

——There are only fifteen days, otherwise I would rather give up the game.

--Okay, it's a deal. Now you come closer and I'll take care of the rest. But before that, you need to find out where his body is. You only have one chance, so seize it.

After communicating with the monsters in his body, Wu Zhi took a deep breath and concentrated the chakra in his body towards his mouth.

Bah.

Naruto felt as if something suddenly broke in his mind, and this weird sound appeared in his ears.

It felt like something was being poured roughly through my ears.

Immediately afterwards——

"YYYYYYYYYYY——"

The harsh screams of beasts mixed with metal were suddenly released from Wuzhi's mouth.

It was as if someone was in my ear and suddenly scratched the glass with a stone, making a stimulating sound.

Naruto and all the shadow clones froze suddenly, their eardrums were in pain, and they felt like blood was going to spurt out there. They tensed up and quickly covered their ears with both hands.

But even if his ears were blocked, the hoarse mingling sound of beasts and metals was still penetrating through clouds and rocks.

Even Onigashima Ninja, who was in the corner, couldn't help but cover his ears and frowned slightly in pain.

Fortunately, everything here is isolated by the barrier. If this sound is allowed to spread, it is not difficult to imagine that ordinary people with weak constitutions may have eardrums bleeding and be knocked unconscious.

Bang bang bang——

Compared with the main body, the shadow clone's endurance was limited. Finally, it could not bear the pressure of eardrum shock and exploded and disintegrated on the spot.

Oops! Seeing that the shadow clone disappeared and only himself and the Iron-Armed Toad were left on the field, Naruto's expression suddenly changed in shock.

The main body has been discovered!

Naruto's true body was exposed, Wu Zhi did not hesitate, and flew towards Naruto.

This move will consume a lot of her chakra, so it must be done quickly.

The Iron Wall Toad acted as a loyal protector. Although he felt that his body had become extremely heavy at this time, he still jumped up and used his arm wearing an iron bracer to help Naruto block Wu Zhi's attack.

In mid-air, a man and a toad were about to collide.

At the moment of the collision, Wu Zhi suddenly stepped on the air under his feet, making a thumping sound. With the help of the air as a focal point, his body lightly climbed over the defensive position of the iron wall toad, and instantly landed behind the iron wall toad, his eyes scanning To Naruto.

Then Wu Zhi's figure shot out like an arrow from a string and rushed towards Naruto.

Naruto saw the toad's misty branches crossing the iron wall and quickly stepped back.

boom!

The ground exploded under the tread of Wu Zhi's feet, creating a hole and increasing his speed to the extreme.

And every time Wu Zhi pursues forward, every step he makes, a pit will be left on the ground. The ferocious momentum is like a wild beast, with a very strong visual impact.

Physical strength and chakra were consumed crazily in Wu Zhi's body.

But Wu Zhi no longer cares about these consumptions, and puts the outcome on the final blow.

Stupid fox, lend me some more of your chakra! Naruto urgently asked Kyuubi for help again.

Bang!

Two red chakra tails emerged from Naruto's back, swaying behind him like a python, creating a storm and sweeping away the surrounding sand and rocks.

Naruto's whole body was surrounded by a warm energy, and the pressure on his body decreased drastically.

Raising his head, Wu Zhi's red and white figure had already flashed in front of him.

Kaka!

The white grimace mask on Wu Zhi's face showed signs of cracking without warning, and half of Wu Zhi's delicate and clean face was exposed to the air.

Naruto was overjoyed when he saw this.

Won!

The opponent's chakra and physical strength were exhausted at the critical moment.

He can completely block attacks after degradation.

Just when Naruto thought this was the case, a large amount of black mist suddenly appeared around him, surrounding his body.

"Wow, what is this?"

Naruto had a look of astonishment on his face and hurriedly tried to sweep away the black mist that was wrapping around him.

Then, he opened his mouth slightly, and was shocked to see a large number of slimy black tentacles suddenly flying out of Wu Zhi's sleeves, and his eyesight went dark.

There was a snap.

Naruto's body and the two red chakra tails behind him were completely swallowed up, making a slimy chewing sound.

boom--

The iron-armed toad turned into white smoke and disappeared.

Wuzhi was the only figure left on the field.

And Naruto was now surrounded by bottomless black tentacles.

The scene fell silent for a while.

Everyone stretched their heads and widened their eyes, trying to see clearly what was happening inside.
