Escape From Konoha Chapter 574

  Chapter 574 Goal

  Like a gust of wind, swooping down from the sky.

   Hisa Yamazaki, who was patrolling the sky, found the headless corpse that Aya had shot in the head with a sniper rifle.

  The part above the neck can hardly be seen directly, and the trees and the ground are also splashed with a lot of bright red. In the hand of the corpse, a blue three-pronged sword is still tightly held.

"This is it."

  Using the flying ninja tool on his back, Yamazaki flew into the low air and advanced along the horizontal line. In the blink of an eye, he covered a distance of more than ten meters and reached out to grab the headless corpse.

  Then the flying ninja on the back began to spray white rising gas, and under the action of strong thrust, the body quickly rose into the sky.

at this time-

   "Wood escape · the art of the great forest!"

  Snake-like wooden vines attacked from the dark depths of the woods, entangled towards Yamazaki Hisashi's body.

  Yamazaki was startled, and without hesitation, a silver metal ball fell out of his left hand and flew out.

  The metal ball collided with the wooden vines, and with a bang, a violent flame burst out, covering the wooden vines that attacked him in the fire waves and burning them to ashes.

  The flames exploded, illuminating the woods in the middle of the night as bright as day, and soon dimmed again.

  When Yamazaki saw this scene, he didn't dare to stay. Driven by the flying ninja, his body quickly rose into the air, and flew away towards the west with the corpse.

  Not long after Yamazaki Hisao flew away, Tenzo and Sakura rushed over. Tenzo looked at Yamazaki Hisashi who had already flown into the air, squinted his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking.

   "I remember that he is a ninja from the kingdom of ghosts, and his name seems to be Yamazaki Jiu. Could it be that the one who took Naruto..."

  Sakura recognized the identity of Yamazaki Hisao at this time. She had met this person when she took the Chunin exam in the land of ghosts.

  Adept at operating ninja equipment, using speed to approach enemies, and using explosives to surprise opponents, he is a difficult ninja.

   "No, it wasn't the ninjas from the Oni Land who kidnapped Naruto. It was the Shitian Xiangren from Takumi Ninja Village."

   Sai came out from the darkness at this time, after watching all this, he shook his head and rejected Sakura's point of view.

   "The four celestial elephants?"

   "The body that was taken away was one of the members of the Four Celestial Elephants. The intelligence network at the root has information about these four people. The person who attacked Naruto and took him away should be the Four Celestial Elephants."

   Sai explained.

   "Then let's go to Takumi Ninja Village to ask for someone."

  Sakura was about to move, but Tianzang stopped her and said, "It's useless to look there. The four-day elephants are outliers from the craftsman ninja village. Although they are not traitors, their relationship with the craftsman ninja village is very bad. Because the craftsman's ninja village has always been an international neutral ninja village, but the four-day elephants are rare radicals in the craftsman ninja village... Sai, do you know what their purpose is to take Naruto away?"

   Tianzang turned his head to look at Sai.

  Sai thought for a while and replied: "It should be because of the powerful power in Naruto's body that doesn't belong to him. According to the information collected by Nemo, the Four Heavenly Elephants have been looking for huge chakra energy in the ninja world to accomplish something unknown."

  Tianzang's expression darkened when he heard these words.

  The purpose is indeed Naruto's tailed beast.

   "Captain, I will leave it to you to ask for support. I must complete the task assigned by Danzo-sama."

  After Sai finished speaking, the figure quickly ran out to start a search operation.

   "Wait, Sai, don't—"

  Sakura wanted to call Sai to stop, but Sai turned a deaf ear to this and continued to run out. For him, protecting Naruto right now is the most important thing

  The rest are secondary.

   "That guy is really..."

   Tianzang was also a little helpless about Sai's arbitrary attitude.

   However, this is also the unique style of the root.

   For them, only completing tasks is the most important thing.

   "Sakura, I..."

   "Hey, what is this?"

  Sakura's eyes suddenly lit up, and she took two steps forward.

   In front of her feet, there is something familiar to her.

  She picked it up and took a closer look, only to find that it was a palm-sized drawing book.

   "Hmm, this seems to belong to Sai."

  Tianzang walked over to take a look, and found that this picture book had been seen on Sai's body before.

   "Did you accidentally drop it while fighting the enemy?"

  Sakura thought about it, and this is the only possibility.

   "It should be like this, this picture book, I will give it to him later. The most important thing now is to find Naruto."

  Tianzang did not delve into the matter of this picture book, but made seals with both hands.

   "Wood Escape · Wood Clone Technique!"

  From the shoulders of the body, a large number of trees suddenly appeared, and finally condensed into the appearance of Tianzang.

"This is…"

   Seeing the two Tenzos in front of them who couldn't tell the real from the fake, Sakura was surprised.

   "This is a wood clone technique that is more difficult to distinguish between true and false than the shadow clone technique, and it is also more extensive than the shadow clone technique in terms of action. Next, he will go to the nearest Konoha ninja to seek support. Sakura, you will act with me. I worry that Saii alone will not be the opponent of the remaining Four Heavenly Elephants."

  Being able to take away Naruto silently, Tianzang thinks that this so-called Four Heavenly Elephant Man should have some strength.

   With Sai's strength alone, if he wanted to deal with them, it would be more or less a disaster.

"yes!"

  Sakura nodded.

   "Has the kid not come back yet?"

  In the forest in the dark night, three figures galloped quickly towards the northwest direction.

   The tall and thin man headed by him couldn't help but frowned when he saw that the short-haired boy who had led away the pursuers hadn't returned yet, showing a dissatisfied expression.

   "Maybe it's for fun. But with that ninja tool, no matter how many Konoha's ninjas come, they will all be tortured and killed in the end."

  The woman standing on the right spoke confidently.

  At the same time, she was also holding the double swords in her hands tightly, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, forming a cruel smile.

   "I hope so, I always feel that things will not be that simple. Konoha's ninjas are still very difficult to deal with."

  The burly man on the left side of the tall and thin man turned his head and said something.

  He was wearing a white armor with a tiger head hanging on his body, holding a long stick weapon in his hand, and a meteor hammer was connected to the top of one side of the long stick.

  On his left shoulder, he carried an unconscious person, and this unconscious person was Naruto.

  Perhaps it was because the burly man was traveling too fast, which made the running very bumpy. Naruto quickly woke up from a coma.

Um?

   Naruto, who woke up from a coma, suddenly thought of something, and began to struggle violently on the shoulders of the burly man, trying to use this method to break free from the burly man's control.

   "Oh, are you awake, little brother? Shuihu, the medicine you gave him, isn't it fake?"

  The woman on the right side of the tall and thin man said with a smile when she saw Naruto woke up so quickly.

   "Peacock, don't talk nonsense here, I have used up all the medicine." The burly man Shuihu glanced at Naruto who was struggling on his shoulders, and also showed doubts: "It's really strange. After taking so many doses of sleeping pills, he should lie down for a day and a night."

   "Huh, it's because of Jinzhuli. It doesn't matter, soon, his power will be used by us."

  The tall and thin man glanced at Naruto, showing a sneer.

   "It's not an option to go on like this, let's control his chakra first."

  Shuihu felt that Naruto's struggle was getting stronger and stronger, even if he was tied with a special rope, it might not be safe.

  Thinking of this, Mizuho began to pour Chakra into the tiger-shaped armor on his chest. In an instant, a strong suction force was generated on the armor, which acted on Naruto's body, pulling the Chakra out of his body.

  Naruto was completely flustered now, he felt that the Chakra in his body was getting less and less, and the armor on Water Tiger was like a bottomless pit, devouring the Chakra in his body all the time.

  Gradually, Naruto's struggle became weaker, and his whole body was limp on Shuihu's shoulders, losing the ability to resist.

   "Haha, it's really full of chakra, and it feels more enjoyable than devouring the chakra of the ninja."

  Suzuho felt the continuous flow of chakra from Naruto to himself, and burst out laughing heartily for a moment.

   "Let's go, speed up. We must reach our destination before dawn."

  The tall and thin man started to give the order.

  The running speed of the three of them increased rapidly, leaving afterimages that were hard to see on the road.

  It was three o'clock in the morning, and the sky was still dark.

  Led by the tall and thin man, the team ran continuously at high speed for six or seven hours.

  The border of the country of grass.

   Leave the forest area and come to a canyon area.

  The high rocks on both sides extend a straight river, which looks dark in the night, only the river at the bottom is shining, showing that the water quality is clear.

  With the help of the rocks on both sides of the river, he kept leaping forward, and each leap could cover a distance of more than ten meters.

   At this moment, he suddenly noticed something, and the tall and thin man suddenly stopped on a huge rock out of the water.

  Seeing the tall and thin man stop, the peacock next to him and the water tiger with Naruto also stopped and looked at the tall and thin man.

  The tall and thin man did not speak, but glanced sharply at another rock on the opposite side of the river. Without hesitation, he swung the black sword in his hand at that rock.

  White light swept out, and the impact of the light beam like a flame smashed the huge rock on the opposite side of the river.

   After the rock was shattered, a figure jumped out from behind the rock and landed on the water. The three tall and thin men looked at each other expressionlessly.

   It was Sai who was chasing up from behind.

   "Woohoo!"

  Seeing the familiar figure, Naruto struggled on Mizuho's shoulder again, trying to say something, but because his mouth was stuffed with cloth, he could only whimper.

   "This kid doesn't look like an ordinary kid. He was able to eliminate so many traps and misleading signals on the road, and found here directly."

  The tall and thin man stared at Sai seriously, faintly feeling that he should not underestimate this young man who is only thirteen or fourteen years old, otherwise he would definitely suffer a big loss.

  The traps he left along the way, as well as various traces of misleading people's judgments, are definitely not something that ordinary chunin can untie, even experienced chunin can't do this either.

   "Then let's get rid of him quickly."

  Picking up the two swords in his hands, the peacock became excited.

"certainly."

  The tall and thin man also picked up the black blade in his hand, ready to fight.

   "Look at me, peacock whirlwind!"

  The peacock swung the double swords in his hands vigorously. Under the stimulation of the abilities of the double swords, a powerful storm was generated in an instant, rolling a large amount of gravel and water, forming a tornado, and raging towards the front.

  Sai only felt a strong suction force, which made his body unable to stop moving forward. He was slightly startled, and retreated back, out of the attack range of the storm.

  The next moment, he picked up the paintbrush in his hand and quickly painted on the scroll that was spread out.

  A giant eagle rushed out of the scroll, Saii stepped on the back of the giant eagle without hesitation and flew into the sky.

"cut!"

   Peacock looked at Sai who flew up into the sky with the giant eagle, and was speechless in displeasure.

  Although she is a long-range attack ninja, Sai, who flew into the sky, is already beyond the range she can attack.

   "Next..."

   Sai looked at the people below and knew that it was safe enough here, so he continued to paint on the spread scroll, creating more creatures to suppress the enemy from the air.

  Suddenly, a bright light shot out from below, interrupting his movements.

   Saii glanced subconsciously.

  I saw the tip of the black sword in the tall and thin man's hand releasing a strong white light, turning the entire night into day.

   Sai felt his eyes sting, and the movements of his hands stopped, and there was no time to paint.

"go to hell!"

  The tall and thin man saw that Sai's vision was blocked by himself, and unceremoniously swung the black sword in his hand.

  A flame-like beam impact is released from the tip of the sword and sprayed high into the sky.

   Sai, who was hit by the beam impact, together with the giant eagle under his feet, turned into pitch black ink and fell from the sky.

   "Clone!?"

  Seeing this, the tall and thin man's expression suddenly changed.

   "Not good, Water Tiger—"

  He seemed to understand something, and turned to Shuihu.

   Shui Hu, who was still in astonishment, also came back to his senses, and looked back.

  The Naruto on his shoulders disappeared.

"ah!"

   After that, what greeted him was a bright silver knife light.

  Cut off his left arm from the shoulder, and the blood sprayed out was sprayed on the water, rocks, and the rock wall on one side, which was extremely tragic.

   Seeing that his knife only cut off one arm of the enemy, and rushed out of the river, Sai's body was covered with water stains, he couldn't help frowning, and was very dissatisfied with the result.

   "Water tiger! Damn it, you little brat! Peacock whirlwind!"

   Seeing Shuihu's severely injured and broken arms, Peacock, the only woman among the three, was immediately enraged, and frantically swung the double swords in her hands.

  The wind howled, and several tornadoes were generated. Due to the mixing of a large amount of sand and water, the tornadoes were directly dyed in pitch black, which matched the night very well. Sai and Naruto were surrounded and besieged.

  Untied the rope, took down Busse, and regained his freedom, Naruto immediately entered the state of preparation for battle.

   "Shadow Clone Technique!"

  After Naruto performed the shadow clone, only a shadow clone appeared next to him.

  But at this time, I can't take care of these things anymore. The shadow clone who just appeared, quickly judged the situation, and started to rotate on Naruto's right hand with his own hands to help him gather chakra.

   Just as the chakra ball was about to be completed, with a bang, the shadow clone exploded.

  Naruto turned pale.

  Insufficient chakra.

  The water tiger sucked a lot of chakra along the way, and his own chakra basically bottomed out. This chakra is not enough to use the spiral pill.

   Right now, the attack has arrived.

  Boom!

  Several pitch-black tornadoes merged together, centered on Naruto and Sai, and exploded in an instant.

  Black rain poured down from the sky.

  The water in the river channel began to surge restlessly, slapping the rock walls on both sides, splashing foamy waves.

   It didn't stop for a while.

   On the large rock near the rock wall, Naruto and Sai fell down there.

   "Ahem, Sai, you're fine..."

  Naruto tried his best to get up from the ground, but the moment he turned his head to look over, the sound stopped abruptly.

  I saw Sai lying there covered in cuts and bruises, his clothes were cut by the sharp stones rolled up in the water, and his flesh and blood were cut apart at the same time.

   Lying on the cold rock, breathing in pain, his breath was extremely weak.

   "Ah, isn't he dead yet? For a brat, he's an amazing guy, right?"

   Peacock looked at Sai, who had not yet died under the attack, and frowned.

   "Hey, Peacock, do you want to kill Jinchuriki as well? If it wasn't for this kid protecting Jinchuriki, you might have killed Jinchuriki just now."

  The tall and thin man looked at the peacock with reproachful eyes.

   "Sorry, I was a little too angry when I saw Mizutora being seriously injured. However, Jinjuriki didn't die so easily, their lives are dying."

   Peacock excused himself with a heavy hand.

   "I'll let you off this time, don't be so foolish next time."

  The tall and thin man snorted and turned to look at Naruto.

   "Hey, kid, follow us obediently. If you don't agree, kill your companion immediately. If you follow us, he may still have a chance to survive."

   "Damn it, who are you?"

   Naruto's eyes showed a fierce red light, and subconsciously, the beard on his face began to turn black and thick, which was a sign of some kind of mutation.

   "Huh? Something's wrong, get rid of him quickly!"

  The tall and thin man noticed something, noticed some abnormal changes in Naruto, and wanted to act first.

   "Let me **** his chakra away!"

   Mizutora, who lost his arm, had already bandaged the wound on his shoulder, endured the severe pain and stepped forward, walking towards Naruto step by step.

   "Wood Dungeon Thorn Killing Technique!"

  The sudden appearance of the voice surprised Shuihu.

   By the time he realized it, his body had been bound up by a thick wooden vine.

   "Wood Dun? That's not the legendary original Hokage's..."

  Shuihu looked up and saw a figure standing on top of the rock wall, staring at him with a seal gesture.

   "Huh... finally caught up. However, this team spirit is really smashed..."

   Noting Sai who was seriously injured trying to rescue Naruto, Tenzo sighed helplessly.

  Although he understands the concept of root mission first, Naruto's life is more important to Sai, but... such a reckless action by one person is ultimately a sacrifice in vain.

   "Captain Yamato!"

  Naruto looked up in surprise.

   Then, thinking of something, he shouted anxiously: "By the way, where is Sakura, Saii—"

   "Don't worry, Sakura is right behind, come here right away."

   Tianzang glanced sharply at the three of Shuihu, with a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

   It seems that we should be extra careful with these ninja tools with strange abilities in their hands. He thought to himself.

   "Is it a Jōnin who came here this time? You are not an ordinary Jōnin who can use the legendary Wood Dun. Are you from the Thousand Hands clan..."

  Shuihu snorted softly, and as the chakra on the wooden vines was absorbed by the tiger-shaped armor on the chest, it became less and less, and its binding force became like a piece of paper. So, Shuihu gave a strong shock, and the wooden vines wrapped around his body shattered into a large amount of sawdust, flying around.

   "It's a pity that I guessed wrong. I was just the lucky one who got a part of the first-generation master's divine power by chance... But your armor is really good."

  Tianzang looked at Mizutora who easily broke free from his wooden escape ninjutsu, and smiled.

   "Of course. This is the god's ninja tool built by the ancestor of our Takumi Ninja Village after untold hardships. As long as we have this, and use the huge chakra of Jinzhuli, even the current six major countries will surrender under our feet sooner or later."

  Shuihu's attitude is aggressive, and he has almost arrogant confidence in the armor that can absorb chakra.

"Yeah?"

  Tianzo was looking for flaws in these ninja tools while communicating with Mizutora.

   Judging from the previous trials, Shuihuo's strength is basically reflected in that weird ninja gear.

  As for its own strength, it can be said that it is normal to wash and wash, and it is stronger than ordinary Chunin, but its strength is limited.

  The rest of the people are probably in a similar situation.

   Should we retreat first and wait for the reinforcements to be annihilated in one go, or... Tianzang kept thinking about it.

  If he was alone, he wouldn't mind fighting with three people, and he had enough confidence to deal with them.

   But to fight on the premise of protecting Naruto and Sai, to be honest, it's a bit risky.

   "Have you confronted Konoha's guy again? It's good luck, even the time to fix the 'target' in the past has been directly saved."

  Cai lies on the top of the rock wall, less than half a meter away from the edge of the cliff. The next step is the turbulent river, and the clear sound of water flow can be heard.

  The white eyes that are opened can have a panoramic view of everything and terrain within a radius of two kilometers.

   And here is the best place to snipe prey.

   "Let's get rid of this big guy first. I remember that he can use his own armor to absorb the characteristics of Chakra, so as to reduce the enemy's ninjutsu power to zero..."

  Cai narrowed her gaze to the location of the sniping target, as if she was right in front of her eyes.

  This is the power of the white eye's ability to see far away. It can be like a magnifying glass, clearly presenting the figure of the enemy in a distant place.

  Baiyan's function is more convenient than the scope that comes with the sniper rifle.

   "Unfortunately, my bullets don't contain chakra."

   After finishing speaking, Cai pulled the trigger.

  The seemingly thin shoulders could barely see any vibration just now.

  The bullet has already flown out.
