Escape From Konoha

"Kazekage-sama!"

This sudden change caused the expressions of the two Anbu who were following Luo Sha to change under their masks.

Without any explanation, they all jumped in front of Luo Sha, put on a fighting posture, and firmly protected Luo Sha behind them.

They still don't understand that Yura, the high-profile Jonin in the village, is probably a spy planted by the enemy in the village!

"As expected of Feng Ying, I can endure this. Unfortunately, it seems that the task given to me by Lord Scorpion cannot be completed. So that's it for today."

With his feet fixed on the mountain wall, Yura had a sly smile on his face, and then he formed a seal with his hands, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from the mountain wall using the teleportation technique.

The moment Yura disappeared, the overwhelming sand rushed in from the other side. Looking at this trend, it seemed that he planned to bury Rasa and the two Anbu in the sand layer.

"Gaara..."

Luo Sha looked at the sand surrounding herself and the ANBU, murmuring in a dazed manner.

The two Anbu also realized that this was not the best time to pursue Yura. The most important thing was to take Rasa out of here, find Chiyo, and receive timely treatment.

Otherwise, with this injury, even Feng Ying might not be able to hold on for long.

However, before the two ANBU took action, a figure flashed into the air in front of them and kicked out in the air.

Boom——

A heavy boom echoed across the valley.

The overwhelming influx of sand immediately flew away in all directions.

Naruto's figure landed steadily in front of Luo Sha and the others, stopping the sand's progress.

"Gaara, what are you doing? Did you attack the wrong person?"

Naruto asked Gaara loudly, who was standing a dozen meters away in front.

Gaara suddenly attacked Rasa, something Naruto didn't expect.

Fortunately, his reaction was timely. If Gaara were allowed to continue attacking the injured Kazekage, the consequences would be disastrous.

Rasa looked slightly surprised at Naruto's arrival, but then she turned her attention to Gaara, who had a ferocious face that looked like a ghost.

Seeing Gaara's murderous face at this moment, Luo Sa's heart sank.

"Lord Gaara, please stop this irrational behavior!"

"Damn it, are you being controlled by Shukaku?"

The two Anbu stared at Gaara's every move with serious eyes.

"No, I am calmer than ever before. My biggest goal in life is to kill this man with my own hands!"

Gaara didn't care about the ANBU's questioning, and Naruto's obstruction was not taken seriously by him.

Anyone who dares to stop him from killing this hateful man will die!

No one is exempt!

"Hey, wait, is there any misunderstanding?"

In the middle of Naruto's words, Gaara's attack struck again.

The incoming sand waves became more violent.

"careful!"

Rasa wanted to stand up and form a seal, using placer gold to stop Gaara's actions, but as soon as he moved, his body twitched and became stiff.

Damn it, the kunai that just pierced my body was so poisonous that I couldn’t lift it with my fingers! Luo Sha cursed secretly, the kunai that Yura stabbed into his body was contaminated with poison.

His consciousness is now very dazed, and if he relaxes, he may completely faint.

"Earth Escape: Earth Current City Wall!"

Boom boom boom.

The ground in front of Naruto and others suddenly bulged upwards, intercepting the torrential waves of sand.

"Naruto, take the Kazekage-sama and leave here quickly!"

Tenzo appeared on the raised stone and shouted orders to Naruto below.

"yes!"

Without any explanation, Naruto turned around and lifted Rasa's arms and body on his shoulders.

"Follow me, Uncle Kazekage!"

After saying that, he carried Luo Sha and jumped up to the top of the mountain wall, leaped into the distance, and led Luo Sha to a safe area.

And at the bottom of the valley, Tenzo and the two Sunagakure Anbu were staring at the murderous Gaara with solemn expressions. The other person's ferocious and terrifying posture made it feel like he was about to eat someone.

"Gaara-sama, please calm down. If this continues, Shukaku's power will-"

One of the Sunagakure ANBU continued to use words to calm down Gaara.

Once a jinchuriki loses control of his emotions, the power of the tailed beast in his body will also leak out, until he goes berserk.

If one chakra goes berserk here, the consequences will be disastrous.

"shut up!"

Gaara yelled impatiently, clasped his hands, and saw that the surrounding land began to rapidly turn into sand, and even the surrounding hard stone walls turned into rolling yellow sand, under Gaara's control.

"Wood Release: The Technique of the Great Forest!"

Tenzo quickly stepped forward, using the Wood Release Ninjutsu.

The vine-like trees flew out like long snakes and began to wrap around Gaara's body.

Wood Release has the power to suppress tailed beasts. As long as his Wood Release can contact Gaara, it can effectively suppress the One Tailed Beast in his body that has not yet had time to go berserk.

boom!

A huge wall of sand blocks the road, easily blocking the extending vines and trees.

Then Shalang rushed over, carrying the momentum of destroying everything.

"Wood Release·Wood Spindle Wall!"

Tenzo remained calm in the face of danger and used his ninjutsu with great calmness.

The oval-shaped curved wooden shield formed instantly. The seemingly thin wooden shield only made a buzzing and trembling sound, but it was able to withstand the bites of the sand waves again and again, and perfectly defended against Gaara's attacks.

Gaara didn't care about this at all, he just raised his hand and let the waves of sand cover up the waves, constantly crushing Tenzo from the front with brute force.

Finally, the oval-shaped curved wooden shield finally made a crisp clicking sound, which was the sound of being about to break, under the bombardment of sand waves again and again.

boom!

As a large amount of sawdust began to fly everywhere, the curved Wood Escape finally couldn't withstand the continuous attacks of the sand waves and declared its failure.

"Sand-bound coffin!"

Gaara stretched his palm into the void.

The twisting sand wrapped up Tianzang, who was unable to dodge, in layers, like a rice dumpling, with layers inside and outside, only revealing a face that was breathing painfully.

"Sandstorm funeral!"

Without hesitation, Gaara stretched his palm into the void and shook it hard.

The sand surrounding Tenzo suddenly squeezed inward, producing unparalleled destructive power and squeezing his body into pulp.

But what splattered from the sand was not blood, but sawdust.

Gaara dilated his pupils slightly, and instantly realized that what he crushed to pieces was just a wooden escape clone, not Tenzo's true body.

Sensing movement behind him, Gaara was startled and his body suddenly turned back.

Before he could dodge in time, wooden vines like long snakes wrapped around his body and legs in an instant. The only place left to turn was his head.

A terrible suppressive force appeared on these wooden vines. Gaara felt that the chakra in his body began to become silent and uncontrollable. No matter how he mobilized it, there was a feeling of being suppressed and blocked.

Gaara gritted his teeth bitterly and stared at Tenzo who was ruining his good deeds.

"The guys from Konoha really like to be nosy."

"Just take it as such. So, have you calmed down now?"

Tenzo maintained the seal posture, standing on the ground four or five meters away from Gaara, keeping a certain distance from Gaara.

Although he has full confidence in his wood release ninjutsu, Gaara is not an ordinary ninja, and it is very dangerous to approach the opponent rashly.

"Calm down? I told you, I am calmer than ever before. It should be said that the ones who have lost their calmness are nosy people like you. I must kill that man!"

Gaara's tone was solemn, and his twisted face was as hideous as a ghost. The depths of his eye sockets were filled with frozen darkness and lost their light, giving people a bad tendency to want to self-destruct.

This darkness hides hatred and murderous intent that even Tenzang is moved by.

Tenzang is a little confused as to why Rasa, as the Kazekage, is so hated and hated by his own parents and children.

Even to the point of wanting to kill the other party with his own hands.

"I don't know what grudge you have against your father, Mr. Fengying, but I can't let you kill Mr. Fengying."

Tenzo took a deep breath. In short, he must control Gaara's behavior and help Kazekage get out of trouble.

As for the rest, let’s wait until afterwards.

"You didn't know anything, so you rushed over to stop me...forget it, it's already too late anyway."

I love Rosen's cold face, and he suddenly sneered, as if he was mocking Tianzang for the futility of everything he did.

"What?"

Tenzo frowned and thought, and a flash of light suddenly flashed across his face. Looking at Gaara, who remained calm and composed even though he was caught, he immediately realized something.

The wooden vines that tied Gaara tightened hard, Gaara struggled painfully on his face, and then the whole body exploded and disappeared into a puff of smoke.

Shadow clone!

"No, he went to Naruto's side!"

Tenzou's expression changed with shock. Gaara here was just a clone, a bait to delay him and Sunagakure Anbu's time.

The opponent's true identity is already on the way to hunt down Naruto and Rasa.

◎

boom!

The detonated clay turned into a white bird and exploded in the sky.

When the fire spread in the sky, a huge shock wave was also born, causing the giant ink bird with three people on it to involuntarily reverse in the air, and almost dropped Saai, Hanoko and Suzaku Nara who were sitting on it. go.

The sneak attacker was Deidara.

At this time, he was riding a giant white bird that was about the same size as the ink bird, flying to a higher place, occupying the air superiority position, intending to kill all three Konoha ninjas here in one go.

"That's it, Konoha rats who sneaked in. Let me hold an artistic funeral for you, okay."

Deidara had a arrogant smile on his face.

Although the enemy had the same air control capabilities as him, Deidara did not think that these three Konoha ninjas could cause him any trouble in the field of air control.

He had failed in his attempt to capture the one-tailed Jinchuuriki Gaara.

Next, he must perform well to impress the Scorpion who dislikes him.

"It's the man from Iwagakure."

Sai stabilized the ink bird and drove the ink bird to fly at super speed, preparing to keep a safe distance from Deidara.

"The other one isn't here."

Hanoko glanced at the back of the white bird. Deidara was the only one and did not see the figure of the scorpion.

"It appears they split into two groups."

Nara Suzaku looked thoughtful and noticed this fact.

"I have to maintain the flight now and cannot be distracted. Is it okay for you to be alone?"

Sai kept the seal with one hand and continued to solidify the silhouette of the ink bird flying in the sky while asking Hanoko.

"Whether there is any problem can only be known after actual operation."

Huonoko stretched out her palm toward the ninja tool bag, and a Senbon-style chakra needle appeared in her hand, shining with a frightening cold light.

"coming!"

Nara Suzaku shouted, with a hint of urgency in his voice.

A small white falcon in the sky was following them at an alarming speed.

Although such a white falcon is small, once it explodes, it is enough to kill an adult.

Without hesitation, Huonoko fired the chakra needle in his hand just as the white hawk was about to catch up.

"drink!"

Deidara saw that the white falcon was about to catch up with the ink bird. He seized this opportunity and immediately formed a seal with one hand, intending to detonate the white falcon.

Use close range explosions to destroy the planned flight trajectory of the Ink Bird.

However, the sky was silent.

The white falcon that caught up with the ink bird did not explode in the air as Deidara expected.

Not only that, the white falcon suddenly tilted its body and fell to the ground disobediently.

"This is...how could-"

Deidara looked at the scene happening in front of him in disbelief.

He quickly used the miniature telescope on his left eye to observe the white falcon falling to the earth.

Under the observation of the miniature telescope, the body of the white falcon that was falling towards the ground had a chakra needle inserted into it that was difficult to see unless you looked carefully.

If it was just like this, it would be fine, but there was still orange lightning on the chakra needle, flashing one after another, continuing to shock the white falcon's body.

It was this orange electric light attached to the chakra needle that successfully prevented the explosion of the Shiraishi Falcon.

Thunder escape! ?

When Deidara saw this scene, for some reason, an unknown fire rose from the bottom of his heart.

Questions that made him feel extremely angry and humiliating popped up in his mind.

How many people did that stinky old man betray his information to?

What does Bai Jue do for collecting intelligence?

Could it be that he is a ninja and knows his weakness? As a result, he, the magician, doesn’t know?

Holding back this almost humiliating question, Deidara once again secretly swallowed the bitter pill of being restrained by Lei Dun.

In order to pursue the ultimate 'art', he left a huge gap for the enemy in a place like this.

Immediately, Deidara's expression became serious.

The monocular micro telescope began to adjust the field of view, and on the back of Ink Bird, he captured the scene of Huonoko taking out a chakra needle again and smiling at herself.

And the other person's smile, in Deidara's eyes, looked like mockery.

laugh!

The subtle sound was caught by Deidara.

Orange light flew towards him in the area within sight.

Deidara controlled the giant white bird and flapped its wings to fly high into the sky.

As a result, this cannot change the existing situation.

The chakra needle flashed with orange light, like a gangrene attached to the bone. When he changed his movement, it also changed his flight path instantly, pointing straight at his body like a knife and a gun.

"Does it have its own tracking ability? It's really a troublesome thunder escape. Hmm."

Deidara saw this scene and suddenly understood Huonoko's ability.

Attaching thunder and lightning to the chakra needle, and making the chakra needle attached with this thunder escape have an intelligent automatic enemy tracking effect.

Ordinary people would inevitably be a little panicked after learning such information.

But Deidara's face was very calm.

It's true that Lei Dun restrained him, but only when Lei Dun really stimulated his clay creation could he stop the explosion.

In other words, as long as it is outside the area where thunder can escape, the initiative to explode the clay creation is still firmly in one's hands.

Without thinking, Deidara forced the white bird to flap its wings while reaching into the ninja bag, using the mouth on the palm of his hand to bite the chakra clay inside the ninja bag frantically.

"There's not much clay left, but it's not time to replenish it yet. This mission is really frustrating. Hmm."

He took out his palm and started chewing it. After a while, a small white falcon appeared in Deidara's palm.

As if given a new vitality, the white eagle spread its wings and flew out flexibly.

boom!

Detonated by Deidara in a safe area.

The impact airflow generated by the explosion just swept in the chakra needle carrying the thunder escape.

Everything was within Deidara's precise calculations.

Sure enough, after the explosion, the chakra needle disappeared.

It must have been washed away by the impact of the explosion.

This made Deidara quietly sigh in relief.

Although Huonoko's ability is more troublesome, from Deidara's point of view, there is still a bit of immaturity.

Having said that, it is an indisputable fact that his 'art' was restrained by the opponent's thunder escape.

Just when Deidara was considering whether to continue to hunt down Konoha ninjas such as Hanoko, the sense of crisis that was locked by some dangerous 'existence' emerged in his heart again.

No, this locked sense of oppression was far greater than Hanoko's chakra needle. Deidara's breath was suffocated, and a stream of cold air quickly shot up from his heels.

not good!

He lowered his head suddenly, his body tilted slightly, and he had no time to completely avoid it.

boom!

The body of the giant white bird was penetrated by something like cutting tofu.

And this 'thing' exploded on his arm in an instant, spraying out blood mist, and causing heart-piercing pain, making Deidara expand his mouth to the limit, making it almost impossible to breathe.

"Well!"

Holding back the painless yelling, Deidara's temple meridians on both sides of his forehead beat wildly, and cold sweat flowed down. He closed his open mouth forcefully and clenched his teeth up and down to relieve the pain caused by the explosion in his arm. There was pressure, and an almost dull groan came out of his mouth.

"Did it miss the mark?"

In a corner on the rocky mountain below, Cai held the trigger of the sniper rifle with her right hand, held the gun body with her left hand, and aimed the muzzle at Deidara, who was pointing toward the sky.

Seeing that the sniper bullet fired only penetrated Deidara's left hand and did not penetrate the opponent's head as expected, Cai couldn't help but let out a sigh of regret.

Sure enough, the dynamic targets in the event are a bit tricky to aim at.

Immediately afterwards, the bullet was loaded again, and Cai fired the second bullet without hesitation.

The repulsive force brought by the sniper rifle only made the clothes on Cai's arms tremble slightly. Her shoulders and body remained motionless after receiving the strong repulsive force.

However, the second sniper bullet passed by the body of the giant white bird.

At the same time, white balls were thrown down from the sky and appeared in Aya's white eyes.

Through Byakugan's far-sighted ability, Sai realized that these white balls were Deidara's clay creations.

These white balls landed around Cai, and then quickly unfolded their bodies, turning into white grasshoppers with amazing bouncing power. They flew towards Cai who was sniping in the sky with weird movements that were beyond common sense.

Cai picked up the sniper rifle and quickly flashed back.

These white grasshoppers followed closely behind. Their jumping and maneuverability were quite amazing. In the blink of an eye, they caught up with Cai's footsteps and pounced on Cai's clothes.

Tsk tsk.

The sound of electric current stimulating sounded in the air.

White grasshoppers fell powerlessly from Cai's clothes.

Cai took out a black square discharge device from her pocket and threw it on the ground.

It has to be said that this one-time discharge device is quite satisfactory when dealing with ninjas like Deidara who have obvious ability deficiencies.

"..."

Deidara, who was standing on the back of the white bird, saw this scene and his eyelids twitched.

He mumbled twice, wanting to curse something, but found that he couldn't even curse.

It feels like all the humiliations I have received in my life are not as humiliating as the ones I received during this mission.

In short, after going back, I have to blow up a few White Zetsus to relieve my hatred.

So, with this cruel thought in mind, Deidara took a deep look at Sai, as if intending to remember his face in his mind, then he covered the wound on his left arm that was blown off, drove the white bird under his feet, and headed east at full speed. Fly in front of the mountains and evacuate from the battlefield.

Cai withdrew the sniper rifle pointed at the sky, but it was a pity that Deidara was not killed here.

If you kill an S-class traitor, you can get a bonus of five million taels, plus a substantive reward of special merit, and it just flies away from your eyes.

It is impossible to say that it is not a pity.

Cai took a breath, with such regret and unwillingness, feeling that there would not be such a good sniping opportunity next time.

Then the figure flashed, and he jumped down the rocky mountain nimbly and came to an open land. A broken arm stained with blood and irregular wounds appeared alone in Cai's field of vision.

The palm of this amputated arm has a strange mouth.

But he didn't have the usual vitality. He stuck out his tongue and seemed dead, motionless.

Cai knew that this was an important manifestation of Deidara's ability.

Although it is not the limit of blood inheritance, it is a very rare explosive secret technique.

Although it has huge flaws that are restrained by Lei Dun, it is undeniable that if this ability is applied to the demolition engineering team of the Kingdom of Ghosts, it can save a lot of manpower and material resources.

"If it's just a severed arm, it shouldn't be a problem."

Cai picked up the severed arm left by Deidara and felt that as a part dropped from the body of a secret ninja, it also had high research value.

Just when Sai put away the amputated arm, the ink bird carrying the three people from Konoha landed in the sky and stopped in the air about seven or eight meters above the ground.

The three of them stared at Cai with vigilant eyes.

Huonoko asked: "Why do ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts appear here?"

Aya's identity information is not a secret among Konoha Anbu, and she is a first-level person of concern.

The son of the Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Demons, Chiba Shiraishi, and the Minister of Security Forces, Hyuga Ayane, already had the strength of a jounin level during the joint chuunin exams. Now four years later, the opponent's strength is estimated to have reached a state of profound uncertainty. .

Even when Huonozi spoke head-on, he felt like his breathing was stagnant.

This feeling of oppression was no less than that of Deidara they had dealt with before. Hanoko even had a vague illusion that the opponent's strength might be even higher than Deidara's.

However, they knew Deidara's weaknesses. Although they could not defeat him, entangling him was not a problem.

But Cai is different. If he is also a ninja at the same level as Deidara, or even stronger, coupled with his extremely powerful Byakugan and soft fists, as well as firearms that can attack from a distance, the danger will be to them. It’s hard to estimate.

Therefore, even if they are questioning, Huo Yezi and others must keep a distance from the other party to ensure that the other party attacks and they have enough space to escape.

"I am here to support everyone in Konoha at the order of the Kazekage-dono of Sunagakure."

Cai didn't mind the alertness and vigilance of Huonoko and others. He casually hung the sniper rifle behind his back and answered in a relaxed tone.

"What did you say?"

Hanoko, Sai, and Nara Suzaku all stared in disbelief.

"The military of Oni Country and Sunagakure have reached a temporary cooperation. In this operation, we have the same goal as you Konoha ninjas, which is to protect Ichibi and stop the enemy's conspiracy."

Cai said this without hesitation.

The three of Huo Yezi continued to be dumbfounded.

"How can it be?"

"Nothing is impossible. This organization's wanton capture of tailed beasts has seriously damaged the international balance. We in the Kingdom of Demons are doing this to maintain peace in the ninja world."

"..."

The three of them were still speechless.

They were also hesitant about Cai's answer.

Since they haven't reunited with Sunagakure, they don't know whether what Sai said is true or false.

Regarding the doubts raised by Huonozi and the others, Cai stopped explaining and did not regard the three as enemies at all. He turned his back to them and swaggered across the valley with complex terrain, rushing more than ten meters away in the blink of an eye.

"What should we do, Captain Suzaku?"

Hanoko looked at Suzaku Nara, the only jounin in the team.

"I don't know either. It might be true. Anyway, let's catch up and have a look."

Nara Suzaku sighed and said.

Sai nodded slightly, and the ink bird under his feet flapped its wings and flew along the path of Sai Leap towards the valley, following closely.
