Kinoshita Shadow

Chapter 158 Worry

"Calm down, Asuma!" Kurenai Yuhi stood up and whispered to comfort the somewhat excited Sarutobi Asuma. Knowing that such a dangerous person was gradually approaching her disciple, I am afraid that no teacher can ignore it.

, but being nervous can't solve any problems, so she continued: "I know about the search team, Jiraiya-sama will follow them, there will be no problem!"

"Even that adult has weaknesses after all!" Asuma Sarutobi is worthy of being a jounin. He took a deep breath and calmed down as much as possible. When he heard Yuhi Kurenai's consolation, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Then

But the genius who can become the captain of the ANBU team at the age of thirteen can always lure Lord Jiraiya away through mental calculations or unintentional calculations, and then Shikamaru and the others will be in danger!"

For ninjas of the level of Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Ingakaki, it would be difficult to deal with the jounin. If you can avoid it naturally, it is a little difficult to deal with the chunin, which will waste some time. But the strength of the genin is not at all

In their eyes, the huge gap in strength makes this kind of battle definitely become a one-sided massacre. If genin like Shikamaru do not hinder the other's actions, if they meet, these two super-S-level wanted criminals will not be able to do anything.

He was stingy with killing, especially Kisame Kisaki. Whether it was his deeds or the character revealed in the brief confrontation before, he was extremely dangerous, and Asuma Sarutobi couldn't help but worry.

What's more important is that there are two of them. With Uchiha Itachi's strength, they are enough to hold back Jiraiya, and Kisame Inigangaki can capture Uzumaki Naruto.

After Asuma Sarutobi made his analysis, the room couldn't help but fall into an awkward silence.

"I want to find Jiraiya-sama as soon as possible and inform him of the situation!" Sarutobi Asuma said seriously. Without waiting for Yuhi Kurenai to continue to persuade, he turned to her and said, "Red, if you are worried about my safety, just

Hurry up and report the situation to Elder Koharu who has transferred to the dormitory and Elder Mito Menyan, and mobilize combat troops for reinforcements as soon as possible!"

Seeing Sarutobi Asuma's solemn and serious attitude, Yuhi Kurenai couldn't help but take back her words of comfort and nodded solemnly.

"Agen, please stay here to take care of Kakashi." Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yuhi Kurenai nodded, then turned to Chiba Gen and said.

"Asuma!" Kakashi Hatake saw that Asuma Sarutobi had given instructions to everyone and turned around to leave the room. He said loudly: "I don't want to comfort you from above, because my students are also in danger. I understand you.

My mood, but... you have to be careful!"

As the guiding jounin of the three newly promoted genin teams, Hatake Kakashi, Yuhi Kurenai and Sarutobi Asuma often get together, not only to exchange experiences, but also to compare with each other, and Sarutobi Asuma lets Hatake

What impressed Kakashi and Yuhi Kurenai the most was that they often put the name "Shikamaru" on their lips, and the pride and smug expression in their tone at that time did not hide it at all. Sarutobi Asuma was very proud of this

Kakashi Hatake and Kurenai Yuhi can understand the importance their disciples attach to them.

…………

When Sarutobi Asuma was eagerly chasing after him, Shikamaru and others had already started to register at the hotel under the leadership of Jiraiya.

The transportation in the world of Naruto is not very developed. The means of transportation are still limited to animal power, and horses are the most common. However, the running conditions of animal power are also very high. The road conditions and weather conditions have strict requirements. If you are not careful, it will be dangerous. Therefore

The idea of ​​traveling in a carriage all night is unlikely to be realized. Although Jiraiya, Shikamaru and others are ninjas and their foot strength is not bad, if they don't want to travel at night or sleep in the wild, they can only stay at this post

Rest in town for a day before heading to the next town.

Just when Jiraiya was at the counter level, a girl wearing a tight skirt, with a slim figure and bright eyes and white teeth suddenly came in from the door. She immediately caught Jiraiya's attention.

When the girl Jiraiya walked into the hotel, he stopped what he was doing and looked directly at the other person. The girl seemed to notice the unscrupulous gaze. She turned to look at Jiraiya and noticed that on his face

After showing a slightly silly expression, he seemed to find it funny. He lightly covered his red lips with his bare hands, flipped up his long hair, his eyes rolled, and he glanced at Jiraiya with a smile.

At this time, Jiraiya seemed to have been taken away by this girl. Seeing the girl's expression, he couldn't help but giggle, but then he seemed to come back to his senses and threw away the room keys he had grabbed.

He saw Uzumaki Naruto standing next to him and hurriedly ordered: "You go to the room first. Don't wander around until I come back. Do you understand!?"

"..." Uzumaki Naruto pouted, looked down at the room key in his hand, then looked up at Jiraiya who looked impatient, and said dissatisfied: "Didn't you say you want to take advantage of this time?"

The mission is to teach me ninjutsu!? What are you going to do now!?"

"You brat!" Jiraiya heard Uzumaki Naruto's question, raised his eyebrows, and confidently tapped Uzumaki Naruto's forehead and said, "I'm here to give you guys of the same age some time to get along, so don't be ungrateful!"

After Jiraiya finished speaking, regardless of whether Uzumaki Naruto heard this obviously perfunctory reason, he turned around and walked towards the girl who seemed to be interested in him before.

"Jiraiya-sama!" At this time, Shikamaru took out a hotel room key from Uzumaki Naruto's arms and caught up with Jiraiya. When he saw the other person turning back to look at him, he shook the key.

He said to Jiraiya: "We don't know when you will come back, so you should keep your room key yourself!"

Shikamaru said, and had already handed the key to Jiraiya. Compared to Shikamaru, Jiraiya's palm was very wide, enough to wrap around Shikamaru's slightly clenched right hand.

As soon as Shikamaru let go, the key fell into Jiraiya's open hand. At the same time, a small group of yellow objects also fell down with Shikamaru's movements. Jiraiya was moved in his heart, but on the surface he was calm.

He scattered the keys and objects in his hand in his pocket.

There was no abnormality on Jiraiya's face. He smiled happily and walked quickly to the girl's side. At this time, the other girl actually took the initiative to hold Jiraiya's arm and let him show his face.

A look of pampering.

…………

"Genjutsu!?" Jiraiya opened his palm and the piece of paper in his palm was obviously a private note from the hotel. On it was a line of two small characters written crookedly with ink pad.

After Jiraiya and the girl left the hotel, he made an excuse to go to a secret place, secretly opened the paper ball that Shikamaru secretly handed him along with the key, and discovered the hidden information in it.

Shikamaru had already paid full attention.

The most dangerous part of this trip is not the Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto they are about to face, or the Shimura Danzo who is vaguely involved behind the scenes, but the Uchiha Itachi and Inigaki Kisame who may appear at any time.

When the girl walked into the hotel, Shikamaru was alert and noticed that the other party was trying to divert Jiraiya away from them. He secretly tore off the hotel's note and secretly wrote two words on it with ink pads.

The small print reminds Jiraiya.

Maybe Uchiha Itachi had no choice but to leave Konoha Village, and he didn't have much hostility towards the ninjas of Konoha Village, but Shikamaru couldn't rest assured because of this.

Not to mention that he can ruthlessly slaughter his own clan members, even Kisame Kisaki beside him, but in order to protect intelligence, he can kill all the other members of the team, a bloodthirsty weirdo, although Shikamaru now has

He has gained a little reputation, but facing these two wanted criminals who are running rampant in the ninja world is no different than using a mantis as his own arm.

In fact, not long after Shikamaru noticed the abnormality, Jiraiya also realized that something was wrong. Although the rather narcissistic Jiraiya thought it was unbelievable that a beautiful girl was attracted to him, this girl was too proactive and...

Some abnormalities revealed in his actions had already alerted him.

Jiraiya put away the note and returned to the girl. He had already begun to secretly observe the girl. At this time, he became suspicious and observed. Sure enough, he found that the girl's words and deeds occasionally seemed a bit uncoordinated. It was obvious that she had been affected by a clever illusion.

Although he was prepared, Jiraiya still sighed in disappointment, but in an instant he took his mind back and thought about the purpose of the main messenger and how he should deal with it next.

The purpose of the main messenger is obviously to divert Jiraiya away from the four teenagers in Konoha. Judging from the fact that the other party has not taken any action against Jiraiya yet, their target is obviously not Jiraiya himself, but

The young ninjas of Konoha.

Among these four Konoha ninjas, the most valuable one is not actually the chuunin, Shikamaru, nor Shikamaru, who is known as the number one genius in Konoha Village, but Uzumaki Naruto, who has the nine-tailed demon fox sealed inside his body.

.

"Akatsuki!" Jiraiya's heart sank, and he had already guessed who was the mastermind behind using illusions to confuse the woman next to him and thus transfer him away.

"Go back now? Or wait!?" Jiraiya hesitated a little. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to leave the girl beside him, but he knew that if the other party found out that the ruse was discovered and hid, he might come up with all kinds of things along the way.

Stratagems come to test, and they are entangled endlessly.

Not to mention the strength of the members of "Akatsuki", Jiraiya is only one person, and he can easily fall into a trap if he is careless, and then Uzumaki Naruto will be in danger.

Thinking of this, Jiraiya finally made a decision, preparing to wait for a while, and when the black hand hidden in the secret appeared, he would take action to kill them all.

Jiraiya made up his mind and carefully observed the surroundings to see if anyone was secretly observing him.

…………

However, Uchiha Itachi and Inikaki Kisame's movements were obviously much faster than Jiraiya predicted. The two of them were already in the hotel lobby where Shikamaru, Uzumaki Naruto and others were staying, but they did not go any further.

, walked from the stairwell to the second floor where Shikamaru and others were, because someone was already blocking their way.

"Finally caught up!" Sarutobi Asuma was slightly out of breath. In order to prevent Shikamaru and others from suffering an accident, he had already caught up with him as quickly as possible. Finally, when Uchiha Itachi and Inikaki Kisame had just arrived,

Arrive at the hotel lobby.

"You are really not afraid of death!" Kisame Mikaki looked at Sarutobi Asuma's performance and smiled sternly, while paying attention to his surroundings. Although the unexpected sneak attack by Hatake Kakashi in Konoha Village was resolved by Uchiha Itachi

, but he wouldn't let Kisame Kisame forget it easily. At this time, he even tried to test Sarutobi Asuma and said, "He actually chased me by himself!"

"The ANBU led by me will arrive shortly," Sarutobi Asuma sneered, holding "Feiyan" in his hand, and looked at Mikigaki Kisame warily and said, "I will meet you first now!"

"Do you think we are fools!?" After hearing Asuma Sarutobi's words, Kisame's round eyes became more murderous, and he unceremoniously exposed the other party's lies: "The third generation of Hokages were all killed by Orochimaru.

Kill, how is it possible to mobilize ANBU in such a short period of time!?"

Woo!

As Kisame Kisaki spoke, he already waved his "Samekin" and cut through the air, bringing up a gust of wind and sweeping towards Sarutobi Asuma.

Not to mention the power of "Samebas" at this time, Sarutobi Asuma had already experienced the power of Kisame Kisame before, so he did not dare to block it, and quickly pulled away and took half a step back, dodging it by a hair's breadth.

Kisame Kisame's attack, and then quickly rushed towards the opponent, holding "Feiyan"'s right fist and suddenly hit Kisame Kisame's neck.

laugh!

Kisame Kisaki wanted to avoid Asuma Sarutobi's attack by turning sideways, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a light blue light flashing above the "Feiyan" in his opponent's hand, and then he felt a pain on his cheek, followed by a burst of light.

There was a hot feeling, and there was already a stream of blood gushing out, and Kisame Kisame's head was just a little short of being cut in half by Sarutobi Asuma's extremely sharp wind-type chakra!

"Damn it!" However, this situation did not scare off Kisame Kisame. On the contrary, the blood aroused his ferocity even more. His eyes were bloodshot and turned red instantly. With the murderous intention in his heart and the constant circulation of chakra,

, the "Same Muscle" in his hand seemed to be connected with his mind, and the barbs all over the blade suddenly stretched a little, piercing the cloth covering the surface.

"Leave this guy to me first, Itachi, go upstairs and catch the Kyuubi brat!" Kisame Kisame roared angrily, slashed hard at Asuma Sarutobi with a wave of his "Samelet", and said to Uchiha Itachi at the same time.

Itachi Uchiha frowned slightly after hearing what Kisame said, nodded silently, and quickly ran towards the stairwell.

Whoosh!

A kunai with a detonating talisman on the end was suddenly thrown by Asuma Sarutobi, aiming directly at the stairwell that Itachi Uchiha wanted to pass. At this time, he didn't care about hurting innocent people, and just wanted to try his best.

Delay Uchiha Itachi's actions and remind Jiraiya, Shikamaru and others.

Boom!

The kunai exploded one step ahead of Uchiha Itachi. The fire and shock wave had already collapsed the stairs. The small hotel even shook slightly. The guests and owners living here were also alarmed by the huge sound and thought it was...

Earthquake, running around like headless flies.

The room where Shikamaru and others stayed was a double room. Shikamaru and Akimichi Chouji shared one room, and Uzumaki Naruto and Kazuo shared one room. Jiraiya slept alone. When the explosion of the detonating talisman came, Shikamaru and Akimichi were in the same room.

Choji was discussing what to do if he encountered a dangerous situation, but suddenly he felt his feet shaking slightly, and there was a faint sound of a building collapsing.

"What's going on!?" Shikamaru stood up suddenly, his ears twitching slightly, but at this time, the guests in the hotel had already come out of the room, running around, and the noise was so noisy that he could not tell what happened.

, then said to Akimichi Chouji: "Call Naruto and Kazuo, go outside and take a look!"

Shikamaru said, and ran out of the room first. The room where Naruto and Shikamaru lived was not far away from the two of them. At this time, the two of them also walked out of the room because of the explosion.

Shikamaru didn't wait for the somewhat panicked Uzumaki Naruto and Shikamaru to ask questions, and said quickly: "The explosion seems to be coming from downstairs, let's go downstairs and take a look first!"

Shadow Clone Technique!

Shikamaru said, for safety reasons, he had already formed a seal with his hands, transformed into a shadow clone, and threw several kunai to break the windows in the corridor. The room with several people was simply on the second floor, so Shikamaru's shadow clone simply turned over.

Jumped out of the window.

Bang!

As soon as Shikamaru's shadow clone jumped out of the window and landed, he noticed a fierce fight taking place in the hotel lobby, and Sarutobi Asuma with a beard was noticed immediately!

The man fighting Asuma Sarutobi was holding a strange knife tied with broken white cloth in his hand. It looked like a shark. Every time he swung the knife, it brought up waves of howling wind in the air, combined with the memories in his mind.

, Shikamaru guessed that he might be the weirdo of Kirigakure Village, Inikigaki Kisame.
