Naruto and Shadow

“If we continue like this, we will be overtaken soon. We might as well……”

Instead of wasting energy and escaping like this, it would be better to stop and fight to the death.

The more Nohara Lin looked at the figures gradually catching up behind her, the more anxious she became.

Her thigh was injured and her strength was weak.

Now it has completely become a drag.

If it prevents Hino Hikaru from running away later, it is better to stop now and give him a chance to escape.

“Hino-san……”

“Don’t worry.”

Hikaru Hino knew what Nohara Rin was thinking now without looking back.

In the life and death missions he had experienced before, there were many ninjas like Nohara Rin who planned to cut off the future in exchange for his survival.

Most of those ninjas were Wanohara Like Lin, he was young, from a civilian background, and a Konoha ninja who was full of passion for Konoha.

Hino Hikaru, who had long been numb to this, would sometimes accept it and sometimes reject it, but the result was no different.

Because at that time He only has the ability of invisibility. Whether he fights or retreats, he cannot change the outcome.

But now it is a little different.

Invisibility combined with teleportation, coupled with the Konoha-style swordsmanship he just practiced, as long as it is used properly, it is almost equivalent to a beggar’s version. Minato Namikaze

“But……”

After seeing that Hino Hikaru not only interrupted what she was about to say, but also still had an indifferent expression on her face, Nohara Lin was moved, but she also became more anxious.

Because in just a short time, the enemy was almost behind the two of them.

“ah!”

It was precisely because Nohara Rin was anxious for a while that the injury on her leg was affected, causing her feet to slip and fall from the tree trunk during the jump.

Misfortunes never come singly, and Iwagakure Murjounin Huoguo, who had already caught up with the two, Naturally, I won’t miss such a good opportunity.

“Humph, you two brats will never escape!”

He laughed ferociously, and the firelight flashed twice, revealing the hidden sword on the back of his hand.

The sharp blades were crossed, like a hunting beast showing its long fangs.

Then he quickly pounced on Nohara Lin, who was falling.

“Or… can’t you escape?”

Due to the sudden weightlessness caused by stepping into the air, Nohara Lin could not control her falling body in mid-air.

She could only watch helplessly as the enemy’s sharp blade once again covered her body like the scythe of death.

Then in despair She closed her eyes.

But death still slipped past her again.

The feeling of falling on her body suddenly disappeared, replaced by a pair of warm and powerful arms.

“Are you okay?”

There is also a gentler, magnetic male voice.

“I…thank you……”

Nohara Lin opened her eyes and realized that she had been saved by the other party again.

“etc.……”

And she was held in the arms of the other party like a princess.

This made her feel grateful and surprised, but also a little shy.

Wow!

Crossing the dense woods, Hino Hikaru used teleportation to save Nohara Rin at the critical moment.

Then he jumped to the top of a big tree under the bright moonlight.

“Thanks……”

Nohara Lin, who had narrowly escaped death again, was put on the treetop by Hino Hikari in a daze.

It wasn’t until the other person’s hands and body completely left her body that she subconsciously thanked him.

This was the first time she noticed the moon in the sky and the young man in front of her so close to her.

But then, she quickly realized that there was a powerful enemy present.

Don’t be distracted by such small things at this time.

Although her leg was injured and she knew that she probably wouldn’t be able to play a big role, Nohara Rin still persisted in picking up the kunai and faced Hino Koichi, who was also standing on the top of another big tree. Iwagakure Murjonin

“Although I am weak, if we fight head-on, I should be able to hold him off for a while. Hino-san will take advantage of this time.……”

As long as Hino-san uses the secret escape technique, he can definitely escape from here.

She couldn’t help but think of this

“I didn’t want to escape just now, I just……”

Hino Hikaru pressed down Nohara Rin’s hand holding the kunai, and then whispered a few words into her ear.

“And I also want to test what level my current strength is, so don’t interfere in this battle for the time being.”

“I…well, I have to be careful.”

Nohara Rin looked at the woods under the moonlight. Although she already knew Hino Hikari’s considerations, she was still a little worried.

The enemy was a genuine Jonin after all.

But she also knew that she could not help much in the battle, so she just Noh listened to Hino Hikari’s arrangement and put down the kunai in his hand, then jumped down from the treetop and chose a relatively safe open space to rest and watch the battle.

——

“What a childish Konoha brat, this is a battlefield, and excess emotions will only become a drag on the ninja.”

After seeing that the Konoha ninja in front of him no longer planned to escape and decided to fight with himself, Huo Guang felt relieved a little.

Judging from the actions of rescuing people just now, this sword-wielding kid obviously still has some strength left.

If the other party chooses to give up his companion Isshin If he runs away, he may not be able to catch up.

“And you can save her once or twice, but you can’t save her a third time. Sooner or later, the low-strength ninja will be eliminated by this war, and only those who survive to the end can be regarded as companions.”

Slender eyes, narrow blade, because it is rare to see ninjas protecting their companions like this on the battlefield, so Huo Guang inevitably wants to say a few words.

Think of it as giving last-minute services to the other party before he dies.

“You’re right.”

Hino Hikaru raised the long knife in his hand, the sharp blade glowing dimly in the moonlight.

“But if I am the only one who survives to the end this time, it will be a little too boring.”

“oh? Are you the one who survives to the end? It seems like you, the brat of Konoha, have been through a lot.”

Although the chakra reaction on this kid’s body is very weak, the murderous intention and momentum revealed in the other party’s words made the Jonin of Iwagakure Village feel cold.

It seems that the sneak attack with the knife before was not accidental. The brat is indeed no ordinary brat!

Thinking of this, Huo Guang once again became more wary of the other party in his heart.

“Let me see what you can do to survive until the end!”

But at the same time, Hino Hikaru’s calm and composed performance also aroused his bellicose mentality.

Sa!

When the evening breeze on the top of the tree made people slightly dizzy, the fire finally took action.

I saw him stretching his arms. , spinning in the wind, and with the hidden sword on his arm, he attacked Hino Hikaru, who was still motionless on the top of the tree, like a meat grinder.

“Um? Disappeared?”

Just the moment he attacked, Hino Hikaru suddenly disappeared under the moon like a ball of air.

Was it too fast that he didn’t see it clearly, or was it?

Before the Jonin of Iwagakure Village could figure it out, , Hino Hikaru’s long knife was whizzing toward his back shoulder with the sound of breaking wind.

Ding!

Huo Guang’s thin body was as flexible as a long, thickened rope.

He twisted his waist and abdomen in time, and returned He used the hidden sword on his arm to block Hino Hikaru’s long sword. The collision between the blades almost caused sparks.

Both of them leaned back due to the impact of the sword at this moment, and then quickly moved against each other. distanced

“It’s stealth! This kid actually knows the same secret technique as Dashi! ?”

If he hadn’t heard the sound of the wind and the flow of air, Huoguang wouldn’t have had time to react.

And until the end of the fight, he didn’t see the opponent’s figure or where the long knife was. It was as if he was fighting a transparent person. Fight!

Bang!

Because there was no one around and the enemy was a ninja from another village, Hino Hikaru used all his teleportation abilities without hesitation.

Through the darkness of the night and his unique stealth ability, he attacked The speed became faster and faster, and the angle of attack became more and more tricky.

But even so, the Jonin of Iwagakure Village still blocked most of his attacks.

The long knife in his hand only made a few scratches.

But this”little” is the tip of the balance in this battle.

The opponent has begun to gasp for air, and his face is like a frightened bird. No matter how you look at it, he can’t hold on for long. On the other hand, Hino Hikaru is still as calm and composed as ever.

“It’s too late to escape now.”

Shoot!

Hino Hikaru dodged again, this time the opponent was unable to dodge.

His long knife opened a long and narrow wound on the side of the ninja of Iwagakure Village.

“Don’t be proud, you brat!”

Even if he runs away at this time, it is impossible for him to escape.

So although he has begun to feel fear, Huoguang is not ready to break out at this moment.

And he is not without any chance of winning.

Because although this kid from Konoha He was attacked with a long knife, but equally, the smell of blood on the knife could also remind him of the opponent’s general position.

This was also the key to him being able to escape so many attacks from the opponent just now.

“If you have the ability, don’t use secret techniques. Show your true self and fight with me openly!”

Crossing his hands and letting his hidden sword protect his chest, Huo Guang panted and looked around, concentrating on preparing for the opponent’s next attack.

Hum…

Hino Hikaru laughed silently.

Of course, he couldn’t withdraw from the invisibility stupidly.

To the enemy Kindness is cruelty to oneself.

However, if this situation continues to develop, it seems that he will be able to deal with the enemy in front of him without using the back-up method he just thought of. The

Jonin is quite powerful, but it seems that he is no more than So…?
