Escape From Konoha

"You should pay more attention to my image!"

When Naruto returned to the observation deck, what greeted him was not praise, but Sakura's fist.

"Sorry, I did it subconsciously at the time."

Naruto bowed his head and admitted his mistake honestly without refuting Sakura.

To be honest, he felt a little embarrassed to use such a powerful ninjutsu in such a large public.

However, he didn't know what was going on at the time, but he suddenly thought of Harem Jutsu, an A-level ninjutsu that he had recently abandoned.

Based on the art of multiple shadow clones, combined with the art of transformation... this art naturally starts with A level difficulty.

It is also the only ninjutsu in his hand that has defeated the Third Hokage head-on.

Sure enough, it was because of the mistake of the monster releasing his desire, but he didn't expect that he would win the game so vaguely... and he said it was a collection of desires, which was indeed a lie.

"Now when other people look at us Konoha ninjas, they will definitely look at us strangely. This is all your fault. Please reflect on it!"

Sakura was still angry.

"Okay, Sakura, don't just talk about Naruto, let's stop this topic."

Kakashi shook his head and let the matter end there.

In any case, winning the game is a good thing... Although the process is a bit difficult to watch, in the battle between ninjas, there is no need to care about this.

After all, seduction itself is also a very common tactic. It's just that Naruto transformed this tactic into ninjutsu and put it into actual combat.

On the other side, Asuka and Sai started walking down the stairs.

After the winner of Group A is decided, it is now the turn of Group B to decide who is the champion.

The winner of this game will advance to the finals for the final competition.

"Is your opponent Asuka? I wonder who of the two brothers will win in the end?"

Ayane looked over expectantly.

"Compared to the two of them, the nine-tailed brat is a bit more concerning."

Liuli focused on Naruto.

"His situation is indeed a bit strange. Is it because of the special physique of the Uzumaki clan?"

Ayane tilted her head, making an uncertain guess.

Liuli shook his head. Even with the physique of the Uzumaki clan, it was impossible to resist the backlash of the tailed beast's chakra over and over again.

What's more, Naruto is not very old. With his opponent's physical fitness at his age, no matter how strong he is, there is a limit.

This feeling is very similar to the perfect human strength.

While increasing the strength, it eliminates all the disadvantages of using tailed beast chakra by ordinary jinchūriki.

However...if Naruto were a perfect Jinchuuriki, his strength wouldn't be this small.

At this time, a ninja from the Kingdom of Ghosts walked over, interrupting Liuli's thinking. The ninja from the Country of Ghosts walked directly to Shiraishi, as if he had something to report.

"What's up?"

Shiraishi shifted his gaze from the competition venue and looked sideways at the Ghost Country ninja.

The ninja from the Kingdom of Ghosts bowed his body and whispered softly into Shiraishi's ear to prevent others from hearing.

After listening to the report of the ninja from the Kingdom of Ghosts, Shiraishi frowned and suddenly stood up from his seat, as if he had learned some news that made him unable to sit still.

"What's wrong?"

Shiraishi's movements caught the attention of Rasa and Mei Terumi not far away, and even Ruri and Ayane locked eyes. I don't know what happened to make him stand up from his seat at this time.

"Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have something to deal with. I'll go over and deal with it. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Shiraishi didn't explain anything and just left the scene with the Ghost Country ninja.

"Did something happen?"

Luo Sha frowned, with a hint of probing in it.

Liuli shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, and then stood up.

"I'll go over there and take a look, Ayane, you stay here to maintain order."

Ayane frowned slightly dissatisfied with Liuli's arrangement, but she didn't say anything and had no choice but to nod and stay here.

After Liuli followed Shiraishi and left, Ayane saw that Rasa's expression seemed to be very concerned about this, so she pointedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty Kazekage, don't pay attention to that, the two of them can handle the matter quickly. , let’s just pay attention to the game here.”

There was an implicit warning in his tone, hoping that the other party would not make some impolite behavior at this time.

There is a girl on Orochimaru's side to take care of him, and he must be here to guard Rasa and avoid disturbing Shiraishi.

Although he didn't know what Shiraishi was going to deal with, he definitely didn't want outsiders to make trouble.

Luo Sha naturally heard the implication of Ayane's words. She sat on her seat and did not act rashly, but she was already beginning to guess in her heart what happened to make Shiraishi, the military leader of the Demon Country, leave without hesitation. At the scene, I'm afraid what happened was not a trivial matter.

It's a pity that I can't investigate and inquire in person.

On the playing field, Asuka and Cai were already standing in their respective positions, both ready.

Onigashima Ninja glanced at the two of them, raised his hand above his head, and then waved it down suddenly.

"start!"

As these words fell, Asuka and Cai started to move at the same time.

There is only one idea in their minds - a quick victory!

If I say lottery, it’s just because I don’t want to delay the time and avoid accidents.

Then, Asuka passively follows Cai's tactics, thus shortening his strategic planning time.

Because he knew that Cai would not give him the time to arrange a favorable environment.

Moreover, he cannot be touched by Cai.

Once touched, one's own chakra will be blocked by the soft fist.

He does not have the blood inheritance limit like Kimimaro to withstand the penetrating attack of Rou Fist.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Asuka used thunder attribute chakra to stimulate his legs and increase his speed to the maximum.

At the same time, he took out the kunai from his ninja bag and used the magnetic field created by lightning to turn the kunai into a blue flash and emit it.

Not surprisingly, this attack was easily seen through Cai's white eyes.

He turned his head slightly and dodged the lightning kunai that flew towards him.

Asuka jumped into the air, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he quickly threw out two kunai wrapped with lightning, and repeated his trick.

This is the only attack method in his hand that does not come into direct contact with Cai's body and can effectively interfere with the opponent's actions.

boom!

boom!

Although Cai relied on her own agility to avoid the kunai attack, the two kunai carrying lightning still detonated on the ground, creating two potholes.

Strong winds swept through, causing a large amount of gravel to fly.

However, in the next moment, a figure quickly rushed out of the diffuse smoke.

Cai ran out of the smoke and dust unscathed and appeared in Asuka's field of vision.

"Sure enough, it's not that easy to hit."

Asuka was not surprised and landed safely, then immediately stepped back.

As he retreated, Cai's figure quickly fell down and appeared on the ground where he was standing before.

If he had retreated just a moment later, he would undoubtedly have been dragged down by Cai and dragged into a head-on taijutsu duel.

When Hecai competed head-on in physical skills, Asuka couldn't think of a possibility of victory.

The key to winning this game is time and not being touched by Cai. Only by taking these prerequisites as a prerequisite can the possibility of victory be guaranteed.

However, it is quite hard to do. Asuka smiled bitterly in his heart.

Even though he used thunder attribute chakra to stimulate the muscles in his legs, he was actually quite reluctant to dodge Cai's soft fist.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before he is caught up.

Compared to relying on heresy to win, Cai's strength is based on her own solid foundation, and when paired with the blood inheritance limit of Byakugan, she is even more invincible.

If there is no way to suppress him in this aspect, it will be impossible to defeat the opponent.

Even so, Asuka knew that the possibility of winning was very slim, but he did not want to give up until the end.

As long as he gets through this difficulty, the next battle he has to face with Naruto will be much less difficult.

For people who don't have the means to restrain themselves, dealing with Naruto will be very tricky, but for Asuka with the Sharingan, it's actually not as difficult as imagined.

The illusory power created by the tailed beast chakra is not so invulnerable.

The premise is that he must defeat Cai in this game.

If you can't even pass this level, then no matter how beautiful your imagination is, it won't help.

"If you keep dodging, you won't be able to defeat me, Brother Asuka."

Cai saw that Asuka seemed to have no idea of ​​​​fighting her head-on, so she spoke to encourage him.

"Of course I know this kind of thing, but if you catch up, I won't stand a chance."

Asuka smiled slightly and continued to distance himself from Cai, without being provoked by Cai's words.

Anyway, he won't face off against Cai.

He had no means of guarding against Rou Fist.

If you want to avoid the fate of chakra being blocked, you can only use guerrilla tactics and carry out long-range attacks.

As he spoke, he continued to attach lightning to the kunai, and then threw it hard, hitting Ai's body directly.

Although this direct attack mode is very fast, it is not difficult for Sai with the Byakugan to dodge.

Potholes appeared one after another on the field, using this method to interfere with Cai's actions and slow down his pursuit.

The effect was obvious. Under such an offensive, Cai also had to temporarily avoid the edge.

However, although this offensive successfully interfered with Cai's actions and bought enough time for Asuka's actions, the flaw was also very obvious, that is, it was particularly tight on chakra and could not be sustained for a long time.

And no matter how powerful the attack is, it will lose its meaning if it fails to hit.

Although Cai is confused about Asuka's behavior, she will not show mercy to Asuka because of it.

Asuka kept dodging Sai's soft fist attacks and avoiding the opponent's direct invitations to fight.

This tug-of-war lasted for about two minutes with no end in sight.

Just when everyone thought this would be a long tug of war, Asuka's movements suddenly changed.

Because he was worried about direct contact with Rou Fist, every time Cai was about to pursue him, Feiniao would quickly find a way to escape and put a safe distance between himself and Cai to prevent Rou Fist from getting close.

However, this time, Cai's soft fist was in the air. After hitting the air, Asuka did not escape as quickly as usual. Instead, he squatted down suddenly, holding a kunai in his hand, and stabbed at the ground.

Qiang——

The kunai penetrated deep into the hard stone and stood upright.

Cai sensed something was wrong and continued to hit Asuka with her palm.

Feiniao rolled his body flexibly, allowing himself to slide out sideways, and then quickly formed seals with his fingers as fast as flying.

Cai was about to step forward to pursue him, but just as he raised his heels to run, it seemed as if someone suddenly pressed hard on his feet, causing him to stop in place without moving forward.

Not just his feet, there seemed to be invisible forces around him, coming from all directions, squeezing his body, tightening his body, making him unable to move.

"This is--"

Cai's eyes widened, showing disbelief.

This binding force comes from the air.

To be more precise, it was some kind of powerful force that was constantly squeezing from the outside to the inside, trapping his body right in the middle and making it impossible to move.

Cai turned her head with difficulty and glanced at the kunai scattered around.

Was the reason why his body couldn't move because of these kunai?

Cai was speculating on this possibility.

But there is something wrong with it.

Because the chakra that Asuka had previously attached to these kunai had long since disappeared, Sai didn't pay much attention to it. But now after careful observation, I found that the locations where these kunai were scattered seemed to have been carefully planned, implying a certain pattern of formations.

However, these sufferings still have no chakra.

So, how is the formula formed?

Natural energy?

No, pure natural energy has not yet been developed to this extent.

Could it be that... Cai suddenly understood something.

"It seems that I have really been put together."

Cai's lips parted with difficulty.

In this situation, it is impossible to form a seal and release ninjutsu.

Because the greater the movement of the two hands, the stronger the resistance.

Therefore, it is difficult to turn around.

Asuka smiled back, looking prepared.

"After all, if you want to avoid your Byakugan, you can't use things with chakra. This is what I specially prepared for you. Even if you don't use chakra, you can also produce a special kunai with a magnetic field. As long as it is arranged in a specific After the sequence, you only need a little bit of my chakra as a guide to activate the formation and fix the target's body in place."

This is a move that was thought up to guard against Byakugan.

Byakugan's insight is undoubtedly the strongest among the three major eye techniques.

However, eye skills such as Byakugan are not perfect in some places.

That is the eye technique of Byakugan, which relies too much on seeing through chakra itself and focuses too much on things at the chakra level, which will ignore some details other than chakra.

And this gives the birds an opportunity to take advantage of.

Because lightning is not the only way to create magnetism, there are many ways to create magnetic fields and magnetism, and chakra is not necessarily required to complete it.

As long as Chakra is not used, Aya's Byakugan can only read a blank piece of information.

This will also become a key factor in winning or losing.

After all, he wasn't much of a ninja himself.

With that said, Asuka continued to take out two kunai from his ninja tool bag. The color was smoother than ordinary kunai. It was obviously his specially made kunai.

On these two kunai, Asuka quickly attached his own thunder-attribute chakra, filled with thunder and lightning, and entangled with thunder snakes, looking extremely beautiful and dangerous.

"Sometimes, it's better not to rely too much on those white eyes. The material world is full of intrigues and deceptions. Even what you see with your eyes may not be without threats."

Asuka held a thunder kunai in one hand and made a gesture to shoot it.

"Furthermore, ninja fighting is no different from building blocks. No matter how many blocks you have accumulated before, it only takes a moment to destroy them."

After that, Asuka accelerated the two thunder and lightning kunai in his hand with the magnetic field in his hand, and launched them simultaneously.

The target was not Cai's body, but the ground in front of Cai's body.

All it takes is these two kunai to detonate at close range to severely injure Sai and ensure victory.

However--

At the moment Asuka launched the kunai, Sai also took corresponding actions.

Without warning, the ground beneath his feet shook with a rumble, and the unstoppable collapse shattered. Large chunks of gravel bulged upwards, and the terrain changed directly.

As the core of the magnetic field formation, the kunai inserted into the ground in front of Cai immediately slipped into the gap between the stones due to the collapse of the ground.

The surrounding kunai were also twisted due to the sudden collapse of the ground, making the magnetic field in this circle extremely chaotic and unable to maintain its original state.

Feiniao's feet were even missing and he fell to the ground unprepared.

The ground collapsed so suddenly that Asuka had no time to react. He stared at everything in front of him in stunned silence, wondering what happened and why the ground collapsed without warning.

Such a scene exceeded his cognition.

The ground suddenly collapsed, disrupting all his arrangements.

I saw Cai regaining her freedom, her figure shook for a moment, and then quickly flashed to the side.

Two kunai landed on a raised stone and exploded into pieces with a loud bang.

The resulting explosion did not affect Cai's body at all.

It can be said that the decisive blow that Asuka had planned for a long time ended in failure.

"Has this child quietly applied Rou Quan to this level? In this way, he seems to have mastered the further secrets of Rou Quan."

Ayane, who was sitting on the high platform, showed admiration and was in a happy mood, so that a beautiful and gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Why would you..."

Facing the unharmed Cai, Asuka was still unable to recover from the shock. He sat on the ground in a panic, supporting his back with his hands, and asked the question that he was puzzled in his heart.

He still hasn't realized how Cai escaped from the constraints of the magnetic field formation.

After all, this thing was specially prepared by me to target Cai's Byakugan, but he couldn't use Soft Fist to find the weak point and remove it, and it wasn't created by the Thunder Release Chakra.

"Generally speaking, the most suitable part for ordinary ninjas to release chakra is the hands, followed by the feet, and then the mouth. But for people with Byakugan, every part of the body can flexibly release chakra. Therefore, It is theoretically possible to use the soles of your feet to release divine air attacks. Although this is my first time using it... it is indeed more difficult to control than I thought."

Cai walked over slowly and responded in a calm tone.

Hearing Aya's explanation, Asuka looked 'completely defeated'.

"It seems I still didn't think it through well. I didn't expect you to use your Byakugan to this extent. Did you learn it from Aunt Ayane?"

Asuka tossed out this sentence with a wry smile.

Using his feet to release the divine air strike was something he had not expected at all.

However, this does seem to be a feasible solution in theory.

Ninjas with Byakugan can flexibly release chakra from all parts of the body, not just the hands, which are the most commonly used parts of taijutsu and ninjutsu.

It is precisely because of this that it is possible to use Kaitian, a 360-degree defensive physical technique with no blind spots.

"I will do more detailed intelligence work next time. This time I will just admit defeat."

Asuka reluctantly raised his hand and admitted defeat.

Asuka still has the pride of being an older brother.

Admitting to this extent in an awkward way may be his biggest concession.

And Cai couldn't help but smile because of Asuka's cute way of defending like a child.

Although he knew that Asuka still had some moves that he hadn't used yet, after the failure of his plan to limit the Byakugan, it was impossible to use the rest of his skills to make a comeback, and defeat would only happen sooner or later.

Asuka also understood this and chose to admit defeat.

He didn't want to be beaten up by Cai until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he would end up miserable.

In that case, the brother's majesty will be completely lost.

"Winner Chiba Aya."

Onigashima Shinobu stepped forward and announced the result of the game.

Asuka stood up, dusted off his clothes, and said to Cai: "The next last game is up to you, don't lose."

There was seriousness in his words.

Cai nodded, glanced at Naruto on the observation deck, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Before this, he had not expected that his final opponent would be a ninja from Konoha.

He still cares very much about this village where his parents have had countless bad relationships.

"Jinchūriki? What a troublesome opponent..."

◎

"I just want you to check Orochimaru's curse seal. Why is it so injured?"

In the ward filled with disinfectant, Shiraishi was slightly speechless as he looked at Lin, who was sitting on a chair with a pale face and showing weakness.

Liuli, who was following him, also seemed surprised by this. He didn't know how it was just Orochimaru's curse seal that made him so embarrassed.

"Isn't this all your fault? If you hadn't arranged this task for Lin, Lin wouldn't be like this."

Obito's tone was quite unpleasant, and anyone could see the resentment in his eyes.

Lin slowly shook her head and said: "Obito, this has nothing to do with Mr. Shiraishi. I became like this accidentally because of myself. And I only suffered some mental damage. I can recover after a few days of rest. It’s out of the way.”

Obito closed his mouth when he heard Lin say this.

Regarding Obito's complaints, Shiraishi could understand the other party's concern, so he didn't take it to heart.

"Tell me what's going on. I don't think Orochimaru's curse seal is so powerful. Even if it's integrated with Yin Yang Release, it won't be able to hurt you to this extent."

Shiraishi asked the doubts in his heart.

Lin's spiritual transformation technique was taught to him by himself, and he knew very well how accomplished Lin was in the spiritual transformation technique.

Although it is not as deep as his accumulation, but just to explore the situation of the curse seal, there is no possibility of any problems.

If Orochimaru's curse seal was really that powerful, Orochimaru would not always be subordinate to Nagato and would be his master.

"I don't know the specific situation, but what I noticed in Uchiha Sasuke's body was not only Orochimaru's power, but also a more obscure chakra consciousness... This consciousness is stronger than Orochimaru's curse seal. , hidden deeper.”

Rin looked directly into Shiraishi's eyes and answered.

"Who is it? Uchiha Itachi?"

Shiraishi frowned.

Besides Orochimaru, if anyone else could take the opportunity to do something in Sasuke's body, then it would be Uchiha Itachi, who also joined the Akatsuki organization like Orochimaru.

"It's not him. We have seen that obscure chakra consciousness before."

"Seen?"

Shiraishi was even more puzzled.

"Well, yes. It's very similar to the traces left in Madara's body. It's just that Sasuke's side seems to be more active."

A strange look appeared on Lin's pale face.

"!?"

Shiraishi suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin with a strange look, trying to confirm the authenticity.

Lin did not dodge, but nodded seriously, confirming the answer she got.

Baishi was silent for a moment, and then continued to ask: "Is there any other information?"

Lin thought for a while, seemed to remember something, and said: "The mysterious chakra consciousness at that time seemed to have said a few words intermittently. If I remember correctly, the combination should be the three words 'Asura'."

Asura.

For those who don't know this name, they may feel confused and don't know who it is.

But for those who know him well, this name can be said to be like thunder.

He is the second son of the Six Paths Sage who founded the Ninja Sect thousands of years ago, and is also the successor of the Ninja Sect after the Six Paths Sage.

The ancestor of the Senju and Uzumaki clan.

"It seems that the back side of this world is a little more interesting than imagined. Asura... even such an ancient guy, is there anything left in this world?"

Shiraishi pondered for a moment. Although he was surprised by what Lin detected, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was no need to be too shocked.

Because people in ancient times have already opened up a way to use chakra as the carrier of consciousness to achieve 'immortality'. Although this path does not seem so perfect, it may be that after years of wear and tear, the consciousness in the chakra begins to become unclear. But from the side and front, this kind of road does have merits.

It's just that the inheritance of these things was interrupted.

Only in a country like Lietuo Kingdom that still retains a large number of ancient texts, some clues of the legend can still be found.

But it is conceivable that the basic use of chakra by humans in that era was probably more prosperous than today. It was not limited to the superficial level of art, but learned to apply more essential power.

Shiraishi thought briefly and created a shadow clone around him.

"I'll leave it to you to maintain the situation at the competition site. I can't let you go here for the time being."

Shiraishi said to his shadow clone.

The shadow clone nodded, indicating that he understood, and turned to leave the ward.

After the shadow clone left, Shiraishi walked to the bed where Sasuke was lying and stopped.

"Do you need me to sneak in with you?"

Ruri stood next to Shiraishi and unfolded his Mangekyo Sharingan.

As the eye of spiritual reflection, Sharingan can also use illusions to invade the target's spiritual space.

"No need for the time being, this child's spiritual space is still relatively fragile, and I'm afraid he won't be able to withstand the tossing between the two of us. Moreover, the power of your Mangekyou Sharingan is too overbearing and is not suitable for this kind of detailed exploration work. My spiritual transformation The technique is relatively mild."

Shiraishi shook his head and refused. As he spoke, he began to form seals.

Emerald green light enveloped Shiraishi's spirit body, swaying over Sasuke's body and disappearing.
