Red sand dust

A mighty chakra rippled along the spirit, locking Tiantian's position.

Hyuga Neji, who was looking for a good opportunity, suddenly felt a threat approaching, and from his Byakugan observation, he saw the movements of the Suna nin behind him.

"Is this... using mind control on me?"

Hinata Neji, who was not completely ignorant of Miss Saya's secret skills, had already paid great attention to his actions and had not been bitten on his body or hair by that weird puppet. How could he have been attacked?

While thinking, Hyuga Neji moved without any hesitation, eagerly avoiding Miss Saya's attack, but he did not realize that the target of the attack was not him.

Tiantian raised his head and was about to ask when he saw a pair of malicious eyes that came into his eyes and penetrated deep into his mind, and then he lost consciousness.

Tiantian was injured, his vigilance was low, and his defense ability was also very weak. The originally tied ball head was blown by the raging wind and sand, and the hidden wind blade cut the hair tie, and the flying hair was hidden in the sand puppet. The cursed doll in it bit off a piece of it.

At the same time, Hyuga Neji split a sand puppet with one palm and broke through the interception. While warning the sand ninja, he glanced at the silent Tenten out of the corner of his eye and was about to ask if there was anything wrong with his body. , Tiantian raised his hand and waved down the kunai he held.

Under the great shock, a chakra wave spun up, and the power of Huitian protected his body, throwing Tiantian to the ground not far away.

The reaction was not unpleasant, but he still couldn't completely dodge the sneak attack at such a close range. His shoulder was cut open, and bright red blood flowed out.

"Oh no!"

Hinata Neji, who didn't feel too worried when he was at a disadvantage before, now had a hint of ominous premonition.

After all, spiritual magic is an unfamiliar field. I don't know how to restrain it at all. I can only predict it through the method of using it. Unfortunately, I couldn't prevent it in the end.

Seeing that his eyes had lost their mobility, Tenten ignored his injuries and stood up forcibly. Holding a bunch of ninja tools in his hands, he was about to continue attacking. Hinata Neji had no choice but to step forward quickly and be ruthless. He used soft fist techniques and acupuncture points to completely block his meridians. and acupuncture points, cutting off the flow of chakra, and then slapped Tiantian's neck with his palm, making him temporarily unconscious. Then he pulled out a tough armed belt, tied him up, put it on his shoulders, and rushed out desperately.

"Xiao Li, stop pestering, let's leave. Tiantian is injured and needs treatment as soon as possible!"

"good!"

Several consecutive kicks forced Zi Luo back, covering Hyuga Neji and Tenten as they fought and retreated.

Although it is a bit regretful, Rock Lee is not an idiot who only knows how to fight. No matter the actual difficulties, the team leader Hyuga Neji has given orders and he will still obey them.

"What's going on? Those two female sand ninjas don't look like they're going to make you and Tiantian suffer..."

"We were careless. The other party's ninjutsu was very weird. He completely saw through our lies and reality. He used tactical restraint and hit the weak spot we neglected with one blow..."

"Is that so?"

With his fists and feet, he destroyed all the sand puppets blocking the road, and Rock Lee, who braved the sand and dust to open the way, said,

"Just make your decision! How is Tiantian's injury?"

"There are generally no problems, but there are hidden dangers..."

Hyuga Neji looked back. The Suna ninjas didn't seem to be pursuing urgently, but they just kept their distance leisurely.

"If there is a chance, we can knock them all down and force them to unlock the spiritual magic, but the other party may not give us this opportunity..."

It's not impossible to continue fighting, but while protecting Tenten and preventing backlash after he wakes up, he also has to compete with the Sand Ninja. Even as strong as Hyuga Neji, he wouldn't dare to do so.

What's more, there is a very troublesome "Circle of Divine Punishment". This place is not too far from the outside of the circle. Once the fighting time is too long, you have to face the overwhelming poisonous insects outside the circle and the self-disciplined puppets with explosive combat power. I have tried it several times. After taking the exam, no candidate will be willing to take the thankless task of “outside the circle”.

The opponent is not a trash that can be dismissed casually. He almost entered the third trial of the Chunin Exam two years ago, but failed to pass in the final early trial.

Now two years have passed, our own strength has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the opponent cannot stand still.

"What I'm worried about now is whether the spiritual curse in Tiantian's body will dissipate over time, or whether it will become ineffective if it is too far away from the caster. If not, then we will be in big trouble..."

"You mean..."

Although Rock Lee was not good at using his brain, he was not a fool either. After thinking for a moment, he understood the difficulties that his side might encounter.

The two ran wildly one after another, trying to keep the distance between them and Suna Ninja. Saya and Shana, who were slightly weaker, did not catch up, but they were not too far away. Zi Luo hung on the outside with eager eyes, looking for Konoha. Ninja's weakness.

"Do you remember the last mission of escorting the caravan to the Kingdom of the Sea? There was a strange giant lizard there..."

Hyuga Neji's sudden topic made Rock Lee stunned for a moment, a little strange, but he did not interrupt.

"Its speed is not very fast, its teeth are not very sharp, and its bite force is average. It is poisonous but takes effect slowly. It does not seem to be a high threat, but its success rate in catching large prey is amazing! The method they use is to take a few bites at will, and then slowly Slowly wait for its poison to develop, and then slowly follow it and have a feast! Every day is the wound of our team being attacked by the poisonous kiss, and the sand ninja is like the poisonous lizard waiting for our poison..."

Even now, if they completely ignore the Tenten in their hands, Hyuga Neji and Rock Lee risk getting injured to attack Saya, Shana and Zi Luo, the chances of winning are still high, but the consequences are unpredictable.

In this second Chunin Examination, victory in a team battle does not mean you can advance.

It should be noted that everyone has signed a life and death certificate. If Tiantian is left alone, and if a quick solution is not taken, there is a real possibility of death.

Even if the Sand Ninja is defeated in the end, can he really be coerced into unlocking Tiantian's spiritual magic?

If you can't beat me, you can run away!

Just like now, the Sand Ninja seems to be pressing forward step by step, with a posture of not giving up until it achieves its goal, but if it really wants to fight to the death, the opponent may temporarily retreat.

"Then...what should we do?"

After thinking for a while, Hyuga Neji said calmly:

"Find the team of Haruno Sakura, Kurama Yakumo and Shiho, and ask them to help Tiantian treat his injuries and remove the puppet curse..."

"We seem to have a normal relationship, and we are also competitors. Will they really help?"

"Let's give it a try! If it doesn't work, you can also find Team 10 who just escaped! Just use our force as a guarantee and promise to take them through the second trial! The female ninja team is stronger and may not necessarily need our help. , that’s not necessarily the case for the ‘Zigludie’ team…”

The "Demon Desert" is full of powerful players, and even the three of them are in trouble. Other teams with insufficient strength will only encounter more difficulties.
