Konoha: Otsutsuki from the Earth

After bidding farewell to Sakura, the five people responsible for chasing Sasuke flew rapidly through the forest.

Because it was certain that Sasuke's defection was the work of Orochimaru, the five people went straight to search in the direction of Orochimaru's base camp - Otogakure Village after leaving the village.

[It would be great if I had a camera, I could take a photo of that classic scene.]

Qi Fei, who was in the center of the team, felt regretful in his heart. After all, that was Naruto's classic scene.

"Tooth, does it smell like them?" Shikamaru asked looking at the tooth in front of him.

"Yes, although it is very weak, it is indeed in this direction." Ya responded.

"Sure enough..." Shikamaru was now certain that Sasuke's defection was 100% Orochimaru's fault.

"Qi Fei, can you see anything over there?" Shikamaru turned around and asked.

"There is no sign of the enemy within forty kilometers ahead, but there is their trap thirty kilometers ahead. Five detonating symbols are posted on the surrounding tree trunks, which should be a barrier. There are also traps made of wires on the ground."

"is that a lie!"

Hearing Qi Fei's words, the four people looked at him in surprise.

They knew that Baiyan had the function of remote search, but they didn't expect Qi Fei's search range to be so far away. It was simply too exaggerated.

Since we can see the situation forty kilometers ahead, it means that as long as Qi Fei is there, the team will not encounter danger from within forty kilometers.

"It's great. With Qi Fei's eyes, you basically don't have to worry about the other party's ambush."

"Then let's speed up. The trap is thirty kilometers away. We can speed up in the meantime."

Out of trust in Qi Fei, everyone speeded up and quickly closed the distance with Sasuke.

"Woof woof——" After running for a while, Akamaru in Ya's arms suddenly screamed several times.

"What's wrong?" Shikamaru asked.

"There is the smell of blood, five smells including Sasuke and two unfamiliar smells collided together." Ya explained, "Judging from the smell of blood, those five people ran farther and farther away. What should we do?"

"

"Sure enough, there are people on the other side who are responsible for taking care of him. Now things have become troublesome." Since they are responsible for taking care of Sasuke, who Orochimaru values ​​​​very much, those people are certainly not weak in strength.

"Don't worry, let's go after Sasuke!" Naruto on the side immediately urged nervously when he heard that Sasuke might be fighting with someone else.

"It's so noisy, Naruto, Shikamaru has to make the decision on this kind of thing, don't act like a boss." Ya said to Naruto.

Shikamaru did not answer Naruto, but asked Qi Fei: "How far away is the trap? Is there any trace of the enemy?"

"For about a kilometer, there was no sign of the enemy.

"There are traces of a battle ten kilometers away. It's the Jonin of Konoha Village. He is currently hiding in the forest to recover from his injuries. It seems that his life is no longer in danger.

"The enemy is fifteen kilometers away and is resting. There is no trace of Sasuke, but there is a coffin."

After hearing this, Shikamaru nodded and said: "Sure enough, the smell of blood is caused by the battle. In other words, those people are not feeling well now, and they are probably also injured. If you want to catch up with them, you have to do it now. But...

…”

"Then let's speed up!" Naruto shouted.

"Wait Naruto!" Shikamaru quickly stopped, "We have to pay attention because they have slowed down, which means they have enough time to set up traps and ambush.

"Furthermore, since there is no sign of Sasuke and there is a coffin at the same time, does it have anything to do with Sasuke...

"Listen up, then you must always pay attention to your surroundings, fully mobilize your vision and hearing, and avoid enemy traps.

"After encountering the enemy, our priority is to seize the enemy's coffin. Sasuke may be inside."

"Yes." Everyone else agreed with Shikamaru's order.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Hearing Akamaru's cry in his arms, Ya Gao reminded him, "The surroundings are full of their smell."

"Everyone stop!"

Shikamaru gave an order, and all five of them landed on a nearby thick branch.

Wary of the surroundings, Shikamaru raised his head and said, "This should be where they set the trap. Watch carefully above."

Following Shikamaru's perspective, everyone found a detonating talisman stuck on a tree trunk not far away. Shikamaru pointed to several blind spots in the field of vision, and everyone also found traces of the detonating talisman.

"This should be the 'Boundary Circle'." Shikamaru explained, "I once read in my father's book that it is an advanced magic circle trap. As long as someone steps into it, the surrounding detonating symbols will be destroyed.

It will delay the explosion and blow anyone in the middle into powder."

"Can we only take a detour?" Ya asked after hearing Shikamaru's dangerous description.

"Actually, there's no need to stop, I'll just take it apart." Qi Fei, who had been silent all this time, said.

Then he pressed his palm on the branch under his feet. The next moment, a wooden palm grew next to the detonating talisman secretly placed on the surrounding tree trunks to cover the detonating talisman, and then tore it off.

Several elbows stretched out from the ground not far away, and directly tore off the steel wires arranged on the ground. After the mechanism was triggered, a series of explosions were even triggered.

"It's amazing! What kind of ninjutsu is this?" Naruto said with stars in his eyes as he looked at the chain mechanism that was triggered not far away.

"Don't think about it, you can't learn this." Qi Fei retracted his palm and said, "Don't worry now, I have removed all the traps on the road, just go directly in the direction of those four people."

"Very good, now that the traps have been dismantled, let's move on." Naruto said loudly.

"And we have to hurry up. The other side seems a little wary and has started to take action again." Qi Fei said.

"Yes, the smell here is the same." Ya agreed.

"Then let's set off quickly! Qi Fei, you continue to monitor them. If they take a detour or turn, notify us as soon as possible."

"no problem."

On the other side, four people from Otogakure, who were more than ten kilometers away from Shikamaru and the others, once again carried the coffin containing Sasuke and embarked on the road to Otogakure Village.

"You said all the traps have been dismantled?" Sakon asked Kidomaru.

"That's right, the information coming from the spider silk is that the trap was dismantled at the same time. Either there were enough people on the other side to step on them all, or the other side was able to crack them all in an instant..."

Kidomaru's meaning is very clear. The first situation basically does not exist, so the real situation is solved instantly.

To be able to break through all the traps they set at the same time, the opponent's strength must not be underestimated, and may even be stronger than the two jounin they encountered before.

Based on this judgment, the four people in Otogakure had no choice but to leave immediately after their bodies recovered a little.

Whoosh whoosh-but not long after, they heard the sound of other people running behind them.

"How could it happen so fast? Do they have no brains?" Kidomaru asked in confusion.

He had laid many simple traps on the road. Normal ninjas would be more vigilant when encountering traps. But unexpectedly, the other side seemed to completely ignore the traps and rushed towards the four of them.

"Hand over Sasuke!" A blond-haired boy shouted and rushed towards them, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Bang bang bang - dozens of Narutos appeared all around, surrounding them from all directions.

"Is this the kind of person who destroyed my trap?" Kidomaru looked at Naruto who was coming towards him, chewing the mucus in his mouth, and then squirted out, "Ninja Technique: Spider Nest Flower!"

The mucus sprayed from Kidomaru's mouth instantly turned into a huge spider web, directly sticking large parts of Naruto's clones to the branches.

But there was still a small group of Naruto who escaped from the spider web and rushed to Jirobo who was carrying a coffin.

Bang bang - Looking at the foolhardy Naruto clone in front of him, Jirobo scattered the clone with a few punches.

"Jirobo!" Just when Jirobo was about to beat Naruto away in front of him again, Naruto suddenly dodged nimbly and spun in mid-air, turning into a whirlwind and heading towards Jirobo's abdomen.

"Uh-" Jirobo, who was off guard, could only barely block "Naruto's" attack with his arm, but he was also pushed far away.

"Fat pig, what are you doing!" Seeing Jirobo's mistake, Tayuya on the side wanted to step forward to help, but suddenly found that his body could not move, "What?!"

"Shadow Imitation Technique, successful!" A Naruto said while forming a seal with his hands, standing not far away from Tayu.

"Are you mixing with other people?" Sakon understood that some people were trying to fish in troubled waters among the shadow clones. When he was about to activate the curse seal to clear the surrounding area, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Kakakaka - Countless vines suddenly stretched out from the branches under his feet and wrapped around his body. When Ukon on his back tried to separate his body and free himself from the vines, the biting cold frost instantly climbed onto his limbs, making him unable to move.

"I have released a piece of the sea." "Naruto" said with a cold breath.

"Meat bomb chariot!" Beside Jirobo, who fell from the branch, a fat Naruto spinning at high speed hit him again, pulling his position further away.

"Don't underestimate me!" Kidomaru, who was surrounded by many Narutos, spat out metallic mucus from his mouth, which instantly condensed into countless shurikens and threw them around.

Bang bang bang! Naruto's surroundings around Kidomaru were instantly cleared. However, Jirobo, who was carrying the coffin bucket, had long since disappeared.
