Escape From Konoha

It's almost nightfall.

The temperature in the forest continued to drop, already breaking below zero.

The thick snow piled up on the road could not stop the ninjas from moving forward. They ignored the harsh environment and kept running forward.

A total of three thousand troops were located on the right flank, with a squadron flying in front. The captain of the squadron was a Jounin-level ninja from Konoha. He took the lead and ran to the front of the squadron so that he could command the team more easily.

Next to him, followed a ninja from the Hyuga clan. He was a chuunin. He was about twenty years old and had the same handsome face as most of the Hyuga clan members.

On his delicate face, the meridians at the position of his eyes began to protrude ferociously. This was the unique state of the Hyuga clan's bloodline white eyes that remained open.

In order to be able to detect the surrounding environment for the team at any time and at any time, his Byakugan basically remained open and did not close during the rush.

The sense of security brought by white eyes is also unparalleled.

As the captain of this squadron, as long as there is a Hyuga clan ninja following him, the sense of security in his heart will be infinitely improved, and there is no need to be afraid of a sudden attack by the enemy.

After all, ninjas exist, and raiding enemies in encounters is commonplace. Many experienced ninjas can die in the mission with just one mistake.

And with the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, such a thing can be avoided.

"etc!"

At this moment, the chuunin of the Hyuga clan quickly stopped his running legs on the snow. He opened his white eyes and stared straight ahead. In the world full of gray and white tones that he witnessed with his white eyes. , a spot of light as hot as the sun quickly enlarged in his field of vision.

Moreover, this light spot was breaking through the atmosphere at an extremely frightening speed, ignoring wind resistance and flying towards their squadron.

"This chakra... is not good, disperse quickly!"

Without any time to explain, the chuunin of the Hyuga clan changed his expression drastically. He directly poured a large amount of chakra from his body into his feet, left the place like a whirlwind, and jumped towards the no-man's land on the side to escape.

Hearing the panicked shouts of the Hyuga ninja, the other Konoha ninjas also realized that something dangerous was approaching here.

Without hesitation, he injected more chakra into his calves and soles than usual, greatly improving his body's mobility and spreading out to both sides to avoid this unknown attack.

However--

Ignoring the wind resistance on the road, the giant flaming sword suddenly arrived at the moment they took off and hit the ground.

Boom!

The slender giant sword burning with flames, like the sun falling, continuously emits tsunami-like waves of flames and golden light, overwhelming the surroundings.

What followed was a huge explosion, detonating a terrifying scorching air current that shook up the blizzard. Even if the Konoha ninjas dodged in time, they were rushed towards them. The shock wave covering a wide area was ruthlessly thrown away, and they howled in pain. He screamed and rolled on the melting snow, looking miserable.

Facing such a devastating blow, they had no strength to resist at all.

The Hyuga ninja who retreated earlier than the other Konoha ninjas looked at the hollowed-out forest not far away, revealing a huge hole with a diameter of more than ten meters. However, the shock wave caused caused the ground and the ground at a greater distance. The trees flew away, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his body followed his instinct and took a step back.

"hateful!"

The leader of the squadron, the genin, avoided the attack due to his superior strength, and the injuries caused were not serious.

However, he saw that nearly a quarter of his squadron's personnel were killed on the spot by this blow, and many others were injured, rolling on the ground in embarrassment and wailing. The tragic situation was shocking. For a moment, the jounin captain of the squadron His eyes were about to burst, and he stared forward angrily.

——On the other side, the temporary captain responsible for commanding a force of 3,000 people and a jounin of the Sarutobi clan heard a sudden explosion in the forest, and his body froze subconsciously while running.

Then he jumped to the top of the trees three or two times and saw the forest to the north starting to catch fire, with black smoke billowing into the sky.

"Seventh Squadron, what happened there? Why is there such a loud noise? If you hear it, please answer immediately!"

The jounin of the Sarutobi clan immediately used the radio communicator to contact the captain of the seventh squadron.

"Our squadron was attacked by the enemy, with nearly half of the casualties, please support!"

On the other side, the anxious shouts of the jounin captain of the seventh squadron were soon heard.

"What?"

The jounin of the Sarutobi clan was surprised.

However, before he could continue to ask questions, a Konoha ninja shouted in panic:

"Captain, there is a strange and powerful chakra in front of us, which is quickly approaching us. Look at the reaction of the chakra, there are eleven people in total!"

This Konoha ninja formed seals with his hands and detected eleven unfamiliar sources of chakra approaching the troops. It was obvious that the people coming were evil and definitely not the personnel who came to rescue them.

"Attention all squadrons, we have found an enemy with dozens of people. The enemy level is unknown. Now adopt combat plan 'B' and execute it immediately!"

Without hesitation, the Sarutobi clan jounin used the radio device to announce the battle plan to all squadrons.

After issuing the order, he jumped down from the tree crown and looked forward with a deep look, a sharp look flashing in his eyes.

"Go up, surround them!"

"yes!"

No one was afraid. Under the leadership of the jounin of the Sarutobi clan, they quickly flew towards the forest ahead.

In the team, many Konoha ninjas with immature faces who had obviously not been baptized by the battlefield were excited and eager to try, not knowing what fear was.

A chilling atmosphere suddenly filled the forest. The storm became more and more fierce, and the biting cold wind was mixed with large snowflakes.

The gray clouds in the sky seemed to be crushing the earth, making the surrounding air pressure heavier and heavier, making it impossible to breathe.

boom!

Under the violent impact, the snowflakes flew away, and a dark figure broke into the encirclement of a Konoha squadron.

Wearing a black trench coat, black armor, and a long, pointed black mask that resembled a bird's beak, he was extremely conspicuously exposed to the enemy's sight in a world full of silver.

"Turong Tulong Spear!"

The sharp stone spear exploded from the ground into the sky, stabbing the ninja from the land of ghosts who came in unexpectedly.

boom!

The sharp stone spear looked extremely fast, but it was shattered by a punch from the ninja from the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Afterwards, a strong figure fell to the ground like a boulder, causing the ground to shake.

The surrounding Konoha ninjas were not afraid and quickly opened a circle to surround him, throwing kunai and shurikens to block his movement route.

Unexpectedly, this extremely strong ninja from the Kingdom of Ghosts roared like a beast from under his black beak mask, raised his hands, clenched them into fists, and then looked at the surprised eyes of the Konoha ninjas. Down, aiming at the ground and falling fiercely.

boom!

Click!

The ground cracked, and countless rocks bulged upward irregularly. Many Konoha ninjas were unable to dodge and fell directly into the cracks in the cracked rocks.

The originally tightly integrated encirclement was suddenly full of loopholes.

"This guy!"

The leader's nerves tightened, and he was shocked by this strange power.

Seeing that the Konoha ninja's encircling formation was disrupted by him, the Demon Country ninja did not hesitate. Like an out-of-control bull, he charged forward without any dodge, exuding a terrifying aura from his whole body.

"Wow! Don't come over here!!!"

Perhaps the enemy's momentum was too overwhelming. Facing this terrifying pressure, the Konoha ninja's muscles suddenly twitched, showing a look of panic.

He waved the ninja sword in his hand uncontrollably, trying to block the enemy's charge.

This ninja from the Kingdom of Oni swung out a punch. When his empty fist broke and he swung his ninja sword, his fist landed on the face of the Konoha ninja without any obstruction.

The nose bones were broken and blood splattered. The body of the Konoha ninja who was hit by the fist was shot out like a cannonball.

After breaking a tree, the astonishing force carried by him had not dissipated, and he continued to be dragged and rolled on the cold snow until a straight line of blood, more than ten meters long, stretched out on the snow. Worth stopping.

——The ninja from the Kingdom of Demons, with two pairs of wings transformed into physical chakra behind his back, is flying at a low altitude.

Along the way, she used her physical chakra wings to set off an extremely terrifying blizzard. As a result, more than a dozen Konoha ninjas who were blocking her advance with their flesh and blood bodies were all blown away by the ferocious storm.

Not only that, she used amazing strength to grab a Konoha ninja and two Konoha ninjas with one hand, and her flying speed did not slow down at all.

Instead, under the intensification of the chakra in her body, the chakra wings behind her became even larger, like a ferocious chakra beast.

When they flew to the end of the squadron, they suddenly flew into a trajectory, their wings flapped hard, and they flew straight towards the gradually dimming sky at a 90-degree angle.

The two Konoha ninjas caught by her let out panicked screams.

Soon, the Ghost Country ninja loosened his grip, and with a cry of despair, the two Konoha ninjas began to fall freely toward the silver-white ground from an altitude of 500 meters.

——The blue shadow descended and rushed into the body of a Konoha ninja with lightning speed.

Without hesitation, the possessed Konoha ninja picked up the ninja sword behind his back and swung it hard at his unsuspecting companions, creating chaos.

——The spiral tree that rises into the sky is covered with thorns covered with thorns.

From the gaps between the thorns, a large number of arms covered with bloodstains were exposed. Judging from the varicose degree of the arms, they tried desperately to escape from the spiral tree before they died. Finally, under the restraint of the wooden thorns, they finally lost their breath. Exhausted and died.

At the bottom of the spiral tree, a ninja from the country of ghosts wearing a black windbreaker and a black pointed beak mask stood majestically.

At his feet, there were two Konoha ninjas who had fallen with wooden spears piercing their chests.

The black windbreaker rustled under the cold wind, exuding the aura of death.

A shadow of death enveloped the surrounding Konoha ninjas.

"Are you kidding? This guy is actually using the First Generation Master's Wood Release. Is this a dream..."

The leading Jonin of the squadron squeezed out a smile or something from the twisted muscles on his face. It felt extremely forced and unbelievable, and a trace of cold sweat slipped from his forehead.

——He released a laser beam from the palm of his hand, blasting away a Konoha ninja who was rushing toward him. The Demon Country ninja who used ninjutsu further intensified the chakra in his body.

He saw that the thunder snakes were like living creatures, starting to surround his body. Two of them were gathered in the palm of his hand, doing circular motions tirelessly and beautifully.

But amid this splendid beauty lies mortal danger.

"Everyone, be careful, this guy is a Lan Dun ninja!"

The well-informed Jounin of Konoha could see through the escape technique used by this ninja from the Kingdom of Demons at a glance.

Although the appearance looks similar to Lei Dun, the essence is not Lei Dun, but the blood inheritance boundary created by the fusion of Lei Dun and Water Dun - Lan Dun.

Its power is more powerful than the single thunder escape and water escape.

——After the collision between blades, the two sides of the battle quickly retreated and slid out of conspicuous tracks on the snow.

The jounin of the Sarutobi clan held a precious ninja sword made of chakra metal in his hand and stared at the ninja fighting with him in front of him.

His sword skills and speed are both inferior to his own.

Moreover, the eyes seeping out from under the beak mask are shining with red light, and there are three magatama patterns appearing.

Sharingan!

Involuntarily, the Jounin of the Sarutobi clan turned serious.

In the radio communicator in his ear, intelligence from each squadron began to be reported to him.

"Arashi Release, Wood Release, Spiritualization Technique, the Peacock Magic of the Former Star Ninja Village, Sharingan Eye, Taijutsu that uses the Yang Release Secret Technique to increase the physical body to the limit... You guys are not using forbidden techniques and secret techniques. Technique is the power of blood inheritance, and every ability is rare. It seems that your army is very famous. No wonder such a small number of people dare to come and attack."

Although the jounin of the Sarutobi clan was smiling, his eyes were filled with murderous secrets.

There was no fluctuation in the eyes of the Uchiha ninja standing opposite, but he slowly raised the standard saber in his hand. In the red Sharingan eyes, the three magatama rotated slightly, and then the figure suddenly flashed forward and rushed towards him again. This jounin of the Sarutobi clan continued to fight.

——In the heart of the cleared forest, there is only a huge bare stone in the center.

Yi Ji stood here, turning a deaf ear to the commotion that continued to come from far away, and did not waver.

Beside her, a ninja from the Kingdom of Ghosts was performing some kind of ninjutsu while sitting in a cross-legged posture.

Is this the guy who uses the art of spiritual transformation? In the cold snow, the soil turned into fine grains of sand. A Konoha ninja used his earth escape to sneak freely in the soil, and abandoned his murderous intention, heading towards the cross-legged man on the rock at an extremely fast speed. The sitting Demon Country ninja approached and felt certain in his heart.

The art of spiritual transformation can flexibly use the power of one's soul to travel remotely to achieve the forbidden art of controlling and killing enemies.

Even in the history of Konoha, there are very few ninjas who have mastered this forbidden technique.

The most famous one is Kato Dan, the late boyfriend of Tsunade, one of the three ninjas and now the fifth Hokage of Konoha.

He once used this forbidden technique to cause great headaches for ninjas from all over the world on the battlefield of the Ninja World War.

Fortunately, as a forbidden soul technique that has been lost from Konoha, some experienced jounin understand that this forbidden technique is terrible, but they also understand the flaws of this forbidden technique.

That is, you cannot move your body during the operation.

Once the enemy finds the main body, it will become a fatal weakness.

As long as this guy is killed, the spiritual transformation technique will be self-defeating... The Konoha ninja who used earth escape to sneak in clenched the kunai in his hand.

Ten meters... five meters... three meters... getting closer and closer. The Konoha ninja who is good at earth escape did not feel a little anxious, and his aura was almost invisible.

Although he is not a jounin, he considers himself to be second to none at the chuunin level, especially his stealth and assassination abilities. Even if a jounin is not careful, he can successfully remove the opponent's head.

one meter!

Approaching again, the enemy's figure is close at hand.

Moreover, this is already the distance that he can complete the winning goal!

It's now!

The eyes of the Konoha ninja burst out with fierce light, and they were about to rush out of the rock, complete the fatal blow and quickly evacuate.

Poof!

Something breaks out of the shell.

Eh?

The Konoha ninja hiding in the rock felt a pain in his head, and his consciousness quickly fell into boundless darkness, as coldness and death attacked him.

"Konoha...it turns out that there is still such a guy. I almost didn't notice it. Sure enough, we can't underestimate him at all."

Kazuhime casually inserted the Kusanagi sword into the rock with a smile on her lips.

Then, she stretched and said into the communicator:

"Okay, you guys are done with the trouble. Let's all come back."

Less than half a minute after she finished speaking, a blue shadow flew from the sky, ignoring the resistance of the wind and snow, covering the body on the rock. Then the body regained consciousness and slowly stood up from the rock. .

After the first person returned, the second person quickly returned with the help of the wings formed by chakra.

The third person, the fourth person, and until the last person evacuated from the battlefield, there were eleven figures on and around the rock.

Some of them had their windbreakers missing, revealing their dark chakra armor. They had obviously gone through a hard battle, which resulted in their windbreakers being lost in the fierce battle and becoming trophies in the hands of others.

As the members of the group gathered one by one, the Konoha ninjas who were chasing them also followed closely, clinging to their feet.

All thirty squadrons of Konoha ninjas arrived, and the surroundings were filled with darkness, which gave people a great sense of shock.

Although many squadrons suffered partial damage after being attacked, they were able to maintain such a neat formation under such a swift and violent attack. It seems that the jonins at the command level still have good abilities.

Looking at this dark area, the eyes full of hostility and murderous intent all came together. She didn't feel any pressure or fear. Standing on the rock, Yiji just gently pressed her chest with her left hand.

For some reason, the blood flow in her body suddenly became faster. An unprecedented sense of joy made Yi Ji's chest want to burst with excitement.

Yes, this is what you want!

Such joy, such happiness!

Its name is ‘Supreme Joy’!

It's really abominable, my mother is so despicable, she actually experienced such a joyous thing earlier than me! Yi Ji tried her best to suppress the throbbing in her heart so that others could not see the flaw.

"Guys from the Kingdom of Ghosts, give up. You...are now surrounded and have no way to escape!"

The jounin of the Sarutobi clan walked out of the queue and looked directly at Kazuhime with sharp eyes.

In such a dense encirclement, he didn't think this group of ghost country ninjas had the ability to break out.

Even if the threat of this force is close to the level of the Five Shadows, they will still hate it!

"No, let me correct you."

The corners of Ichiji's mouth began to raise involuntarily, her long hair swayed, her palm held the hilt of the Kusanagi sword, and she gently pulled it out, and blood splashed out from the crack in the rock where the blade of the sword was inserted.

Holding the blood-stained Kusanagi sword, Kazuhime slowly raised the blade to the sky, and materialized chakra began to emerge from her body, spurting towards the sky.

In the sky, the wind and clouds changed suddenly.

An unsettling aura began to stir people's hearts, and the Konoha ninjas surrounding Kazuki and others discovered this anomaly.

But this abnormality, this unusual and indescribable sense of depression, prevented them from describing it in detail. They only knew that it was an indescribable fear that quickly took root in their hearts.

"The reason why I brought you all together is because I think it would be too time-consuming to disperse and defeat the thirty squadrons one by one. It is easier to gather you all together and clean them in one go."

In the shocked and horrified eyes of the Konoha ninjas, the giant samurai burning lava transformed into a physical body in the torrent of chakra gushing out.

The flames soaring into the sky were like beams of light cutting the heaven and earth in half.

The lava warrior stretched out his arms covering the billowing waves of fire, grasped the light pillar tightly, and the light pillar's entity appeared.

It was a slender giant sword made of flames that perfectly matched the lava warrior.

The pupils of the Sarutobi clan's Jonin shrank, his lips wriggled, and his words were stuck in his throat. All words seemed pale and feeble in the face of such power.

In despair, the giant sword that gathered flames slashed downwards without mercy.

"Now, come and dance with me!"

Then, the sword pressure that violently charged into the sky easily swept away the blizzard, roaring across the earth.

The dark night fell, like a bottomless darkness, shrouding the hollowed-out forest.

The second round of deathmatch has begun!

◎

"The next strategy, I think, should be like this..."

In the Konoha camp formed by a fortress, in a temporary meeting place, under the convocation of Jiraiya and Nara Shikaku, more than a dozen Jonin who participated in the meeting gathered here.

The one who spoke was Shikaku, who was formulating the next strategic plan in Konoha.

However, before he could finish his words, a figure knocked open the door of the conference room, surprising all the Konoha Jonin who saw him.

The Konoha ninja who broke in was covered in blood, and his hair and face were covered with a mixture of plaster and blood. His terrifying appearance was like an evil ghost who had just crawled out of hell.

"Support... support... hurry up... support..."

The Konoha ninja who broke in was out of breath, ignoring the pain on his body, and spat out these words intermittently from his mouth with pain and difficulty.

"Support? Wait, you are supporting the troops, right? What happened over there?"

Shikaku quickly came over to support the Konoha ninja, his face changed drastically, and he asked hurriedly.

"We were attacked by the Demon Kingdom on the road. Captain Sarutobi is leading people to fight to the death...but we can't hold on for long. That girl is a monster...a monster..."

The hoarse voice trembled and rolled out from his throat, making everyone in the conference room, including Jiraiya, look shocked.

Attacked by the Kingdom of Ghosts?

How can it be?

They are paying close attention to the movements of the Kingdom of Ghosts, and there are patrol teams all around. If the opponent uses large forces, it is impossible to hide it from their sight.

Moreover, according to their estimates, no matter how fast the Kingdom of Ghosts moves, they will have to wait until tomorrow to make the deployment. The timing is not right at all!

What exactly is going on?
