Escape From Konoha

"Has it been so long since then? It's like a fleeting time."

Under the freezing night, the white coat he wore had already been soaked in blood and dyed bright red.

The smell of blood like rust continued to overflow in the air, and then entered the nostrils.

If ordinary people smelled it, they would probably faint from the strong smell of blood.

However, Asami Masumi has long been accustomed to such a smell, and whenever she smells such a smell of rust, the blood in her body always boils.

The cold air at high altitude floats, and the clouds begin to push along with the air currents, occasionally covering up the white moonlight and bringing shadows to the earth.

In the dark forest, light is very scarce. Even the flexible and agile ninjas will find it a bit difficult to move in such a near-dark environment with their naked eyes.

Apart from the sound of the cold air blowing by, the only sound in my ears was the sound of my running footsteps, breaking the silence around me.

The smell of blood continued to overflow, including his own and that of the Konoha ninjas he had killed.

Among the Konoha ninjas chasing him, there must be ninjas from the Inuzuka clan.

In this case, it would be useless to stop the bleeding now.

Because it's too late.

Asami Masumi knew that it was impossible to escape from the hands of the Konoha ninjas with ordinary means, and he had to use more complex terrain to delay the progress of this group of people.

"I remember it was about a hundred kilometers ahead..."

One hundred kilometers may take a long time for ordinary people.

However, this distance is not actually far for ninjas. On the contrary, among the missions that ninjas go out to perform, one hundred kilometers is considered a very short distance.

However, even if the distance is not very far, it is impossible to arrive immediately.

Especially during this period, if we continue to be entangled, things will become more difficult.

Her perception is laid in the surrounding forest, and the area that her perception can affect, which is about five kilometers centered on herself, will be covered.

In this area alone, she sensed that there were more than twenty ninjas operating in the area.

Some of them had very strong chakra reactions and were not ordinary ninjas.

And this is only within a five-kilometer radius. More ninjas may also be mobilizing, not to mention there are ANBU following them.

Try to avoid fighting with ANBU ninjas.

Although the patrol force's ninjas are powerful, their comprehensive capabilities are not as comprehensive as those of the ANBU.

Being caught up by ANBU and escaping is the most troublesome thing.

However, the ANBU had only chased out of Konoha after him, so he shouldn't be able to run into them in a short period of time.

It took a lot of effort to catch her back.

This kind of pursuit intensity is comparable to that of chasing down Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, more than ten years ago.

This Hokage-sama really thinks highly of himself.

Not only did she want to prevent more Konoha information and technology from being lost to the outside world, but she also wanted to get more information about Shiraishi and the Kingdom of Ghosts from her.

Her head is more precious than imagined.

It makes sense that the ANBU and patrol units would attack at the same time.

He didn't know how long he had been running in the forest, but the wounds on Asami Masumi's body had been healed by the Palm Senjutsu, and they had recovered as before, without leaving any scars.

As the chakra in her body was depleted, she would also take out Bingliang Pills from time to time to replenish her physical strength and chakra, so that she would not be directly at a disadvantage when encountering a battle.

There should only be twenty kilometers left. Asami Masumi's eyes fell into the darkness in front of the forest, silently calculating the distance.

Breathing slightly, he continued fighting. Although he recovered a certain amount of physical strength and chakra through the Bingliang Pills, his mental fatigue could not be forcibly reversed.

If she was attacked by another jounin, or worse, multiple jounin, her situation would become more dangerous.

Because in this case, the Jonin would not act alone, there must be a Chuunin with outstanding strength around him.

Thinking of this, Asami Masumi opened the ninja bag and took out an emerald green pill the size of a finger.

The color is bright and beautiful, but it feels more like a danger and warning.

Playing with the emerald green pill, Asami Masumi narrowed her eyes slightly, seeming to weigh something.

At this moment, a sound suddenly sounded in the sky.

quack!

quack!

crow.

A large number of crows with flashing red eyes swooped down from the sky like a group of fearless soldiers, charging towards Asami Masumi running on the snow.

Without hesitation, Asami Masumi dropped the green pill in her hand into her mouth, wrapped it with her tongue, and held it in her mouth without swallowing it.

The faint medicinal power was released from the pill. In an instant, Asami Masumi's mind became more energetic. The original fatigue was swept away, and there was even a hint of excitement in her eyes.

The chakra scalpel condensed in the palm of his hand emitted brilliant blue fluorescence and was dazzling in the dim forest.

quack!

quack!

The crows that surrounded Asami Masumi were cackling rapidly and fiercely.

Their bodies are very flexible, and unlike ordinary crows, they are ninja beasts domesticated by ninjas, and are far more aggressive than ordinary crows.

Especially the beak, which is harder than iron and stone, is a deadly weapon.

However, the bird's beak, which was harder than iron stone, was cut in half along with the body under the slash of the chakra scalpel.

Rich blood filled the entire space.

The black feathers kept falling off, as if a black snow had fallen, dyeing the white snow black.

As each crow dwindles, more and more crow corpses are found at the feet. Not only blood but also black feathers are splattered on the white coat.

Although the visible reduction in the number of crows has caused some obstacles to Asami Masumi, it would be too fanciful to use this to determine the outcome.

Without warning, in the crow-blackened night, a vague shadow quickly passed through the air and swung towards Asami Masumi's body.

The arm where the chakra scalpel was applied stung, and a cut suddenly opened, and blood spurted out along the wound.

Asami Masumi covered the wound on her right arm with her left hand, stepped back, and stared at the ninja who suddenly appeared.

She sensed that there would be a Jonin coming to make a surprise attack, but the way of the attack was beyond her expectation.

Out of sight.

The attack trajectory was not detected.

If she hadn't been alert enough, the blow just now wouldn't have been as simple as scratching her arm.

Blocking the way was a man in his twenties, with a scar that looked like a burn on the right side of his face. He was wearing a black coat outside the Konoha Jounin uniform, blending in with the night.

Not quite the same.

One of the guard ninjas of the late Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.

Judging from the intelligence collected, he was a jounin who shrewdly used the environment to assassinate his enemies.

In this environment, there are dangers.

His right hand was clasped together as if he were holding something, but if he looked carefully, it was just a mass of darkness. He could only vaguely see the weapon Luo Kuo, which was a black sword with fresh blood dripping on it.

Asami Masumi was enlightened. No wonder she sensed it, but it was still difficult to avoid. She used the color of the weapon to form a protective color, which was very good at hiding her attack.

Not only that, Asami Masumi also felt that the scratched right arm was slightly numb, and the black knife was quenched with poison.

"That arm... can you still move it?"

Looking at Asami Masumi's right arm that could barely move, his eyes were slightly solemn.

The opponent's resistance to poison is too strong.

The poison he concocted would cause ordinary ninjas to immediately become paralyzed and fall to the ground after being hit by it.

This was the first time I saw a ninja like Masumi Asami who was still standing there as if nothing had happened.

Asami Masumi didn't answer, and glanced lightly at the trees on the side.

Behind that tree, there was another ninja lurking. Judging from the strength of his chakra, he is a jounin.

Moreover, the spell performed is related to controlling crows.

Yamashiro Aoba? These two people join forces to attack, and I'm afraid they won't be able to solve it for a while. Asami Masumi guessed the identity of the secret jounin and silently calculated the gap between the two sides.

It was a breakout battle now, and it was impossible for her to fight two jounin for a long time here.

Moreover, there were more Konoha ninjas, surrounding them from a distance.

In about thirty seconds, about ten Konoha ninjas will support these two people.

A quick battle is never reliable, so we can only continue to break through.

Thinking of this, Asami Masumi no longer hesitated, she flew quickly and turned into an afterimage and flew out.

While opening the white coat, he took out a small syringe the length of a finger from the inner pocket of the coat. There was also a small amount of medicine stored in the syringe.

She aimed the needle of the small syringe at her paralyzed right arm and stabbed it. After injecting the medicine, the paralysis was relieved instantly.

The moment her arm fully regained consciousness, Lei Tong quickly jumped into the air, and the black knife in his hand fell down, swinging towards her body.

Click!

There was a crisp sound.

The green pill in his mouth was completely bitten open.

The potency of the medicine was maximized, and the rich green energy instantly enveloped Asami Masumi's body. A terrifying amount of chakra spurted out from her body, forming a substantial amount of energy that could be released outside.

Rather, it is because the body cannot withstand such a huge amount of chakra, and in order to ensure that the body is not overwhelmed by too much chakra, it is unable to let it vent out.

Even so, this was an amount of chakra that shocked the Jonin.

Moreover, it is still being released continuously from Asami Masumi's body.

At this moment, Asami Masumi felt that her dynamic vision, nerve response ability, and chakra operation speed had all exceeded her original upper limit and reached another world.

Not only that, the originally heavy breathing became extremely smooth.

Mental fatigue was swept away.

This is a powerful force that is even more fascinating than in its heyday.

“————!!!”

The chakra scalpel was swung faster, and the chakra flowing around the edge became thinner and sharper.

Swing out towards the black knife.

The sound exploded in mid-air.

That was the sound produced by the collision of steel and steel.

The murder weapons touched together instantly.

Then there was a clicking sound, and a crack visible to the naked eye appeared on the extremely hard black knife, which was rapidly expanding.

The chakra scalpel has become hard enough to destroy the chakra metal.

"Well!"

Lei Tong flew out with a groan of pain and rolled on the ground.

Asami Masumi was considering whether to go up and kill the other party smoothly. At this time, there should be a chance.

Before she could make her next move, a large number of crows flew over.

A figure also jumped out from behind the tall tree, it was Yamashiro Aoba.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

Crow and Fire Release jointly attack, if you don't want to get hurt, you can only dodge.

The cooperation was timely.

After all, the relationship between the two is very good, and their ninjutsu is very compatible, so it is natural for them to have such a tacit understanding.

It was indeed too difficult to deal with two jounin who cooperated tacitly at the same time.

Moreover, her state could not last long.

The pursuers behind must be thrown away as soon as possible.

So, after glancing at Yamashiro Aoba who ran out, Asami Masumi casually slashed away several ninja crows that rushed towards her, jumped back, and her body melted into the darkness and disappeared.

Lei Tong stood up from the ground at this time. He had a painful look on his face, and even the bulging veins could be seen. The arm holding the black knife was full of blood. Although he still held the black knife that was about to break in his hand, the blade But it kept trembling in my hands.

It is very difficult to maintain the status quo, let alone attack the enemy.

"cough!"

Lei Tong coughed violently again, his heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, and he couldn't breathe smoothly. It took a while before he could breathe again.

"Lei Tong, are you okay?"

Yamashiro Aoba asked.

"It's okay, but I may not be able to serve as the main attacker in the future. I don't like to use my left hand to attack."

Lei Tong smiled bitterly.

He can use all sword techniques on his left and right hands, but he is better at using his right hand to perform sword techniques. If he switches to his left hand, he can deal with ordinary ninjas, but he can't deal with a Jonin like Asami Masumi who is as strong as the captain of the ANBU. It's really a bit overwhelming.

"There's something not right about her state. The chakra surged into that state, and she probably took some kind of banned drug."

Yamashiro Aoba pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and analyzed.

He, who had just watched from the sidelines and didn't take action until the end, saw more comprehensive information than Lei Tong.

"Is it similar to the three-color pills of the Akimichi clan? In this case, her condition should not last long. Fortunately, the two of us patrolling here are leading the team. If it were the other jounin, I'm afraid something would have been bad just now .”

Lei Tong sighed.

Before the other party fought with me, he had already fought many Konoha ninjas and was not in the state of the whole province. Even so, he could still burst out with such powerful strength...

Is the other party really a medical ninja?

For the first time, he had doubts about the combat effectiveness of aid personnel such as medical ninjas.

Yamashiro Aoba nodded, then swept around, and more than a dozen Konoha ninjas chased him, all of them Chuunin.

"Let's go and notify the rest of the patrol team to be careful. The target has become very dangerous at this time."

It's best to catch the opponent before the ANBU arrives. If not, then delay the opponent's footsteps.

After all, this is an S-class pursuit mission ordered by the Hokage himself, so you can't be careless.

◎

Sakura woke up in a daze amid the turbulence, and felt something was wrapped around her body. She could only see darkness in front of her eyes, and couldn't see anything else.

Moreover, the surrounding temperature is extremely cold, and you can hear the whistling wind. This is definitely not indoors, but outdoors.

He was being carried by someone, and the other person was using all his strength to fly forward quickly.

Kidnapped?

who is it?

Sakura's mind was in chaos.

Perhaps it was because of the drug that was injected into her. Not only was her head dizzy at this time, but her whole body could not exert any decent strength. Her whole body was sore and exhausted, and she could not use her chakra.

In this case, she can only let others run with her, not knowing where to take her.

I remember being in the store with my father... Sakura could barely recall what happened before she fell asleep.

He recalled intermittently that in the barbecue restaurant, his father Haruno Zhao suddenly told himself some things that happened to her mother when she was pregnant with her.

Related to Asami, the current vice president of Konoha Hospital.

After that...then her father hugged her, and then he fell unconscious.

Sakura vaguely remembered that it was her father, Haruno Ou, who caused her to fall asleep in such a daze.

Although I don’t believe why my father would attack me, this is the most reliable fact after excluding all answers.

In that case, he would not be on guard against his father Haruno Zhao, so it could be said to be the best time to take action.

but why?

Why did my father use drugs to stun himself?

Sakura couldn't understand.

"Are you awake, Sakura?"

Father Haruno Zhao's voice rang in his ears.

Although the words were not transmitted loudly through the zippered bag, Sakura could clearly hear the other party's voice.

"Dad...what are you doing?"

Sakura suppressed the sleepiness that was about to continue to pass out. There was an antidote in her ninja bag, but her body was not only wrapped in a cloth bag, but her limbs were also tied up with ropes. She was unable to open it due to her weakness. Take out the antidote from the Ninja Tool Bag and let your body resume action.

"Don't worry, just continue to sleep peacefully. When you wake up, everything will be safe."

Haruno Zhao's voice came from the front again.

Sleep peacefully?

Sakura didn't know if there was a problem with herself or with her father Haruno Zhao.

How could she still have leisure time and continue to sleep here?

The current situation was beyond her understanding.

She urgently needs to know, what is her father's purpose of comatose her? Where will he take himself?

"Dad...where are you taking me?"

Sakura continued to ask this question.

Every word she said was consuming the little energy Sakura had at this time.

Got no response.

Haruno Zhao seemed to have fallen silent, just hurried forward with his head down.

And his silence made Sakura even more uneasy.

What on earth is his father going to do?

She couldn't help but feel that her father had become so strange at this time.

The image of his honest, hard-working, honest and responsible father in his mind suddenly collapsed, as if a different face suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Deputy Leader Amejima, how much longer will it take?"

Haruno Ou, who was carrying Sakura on his back, asked Amejima, who was temporarily leading the team in place of the team leader Asami Masumi.

The other party was none other than the Konoha Jounin, Umeshima, who had cleverly used the disappearance case not long ago to pretend to be attacked by unknown persons and successfully escaped from the Anbu's sight.

In the absence of team leader Asami Masumi, he is the manager of this intelligence team.

Therefore, after he escaped from ANBU's sight for the first time, he just sent his family away, but he was still hiding in the underground secret passage of Haruno Zhao's house, and only then followed Haruno Zhao and others.

After all, before support arrived, he, as a Jonin, could play a key role in preventing the entire intelligence team from being wiped out.

Shinobi Amejima held a square-shaped instrument device, which displayed a lit screen. On the screen, a group of green dots on his side were quickly heading towards the southern port city of the Land of Fire.

On the screen in the south, two green dots were also moving rapidly northward, approaching them.

"Don't worry, support is coming soon. Okay, now let's speed up."

Ameshima Shinobu's words made the nearby followers quietly feel relieved.

At this moment, they were carrying the same cloth bags behind them, some were big and some were small, and they all contained people.

Apart from that, I don’t have anything else on me. I pack everything lightly and don’t bring any extra things with me.

At this moment, Ameshima Ninja, who was at the front of the team, seemed to sense something, and his expression changed.

"careful!"

It's too late.

"Wood Release: The Technique of the Great Forest!"

A large number of wooden rattans flew out from the darkness like long snakes, rushing towards the running Amejima Shinobi and others, blocking their way.

"Rasengan!"

Along with the wooden and rattan move, there was Naruto. He held the blue chakra ball in his right hand and rushed to the back of Ninja Ameshima in the blink of an eye, falling quickly.

Amejima seemed to have eyes on his back, and kunai appeared in his hand. As chakra surged in his body, his body turned, and after chopping up the wooden vines attacking him from the front, he quickly turned back.

boom!

The atmosphere caused a huge noise due to the fierce collision of chakra.

"Wha-what!?"

Naruto's eyes widened as a large amount of water flew past his eyes.

The torrent surrounding the kunai actually canceled out the power of his Rasengan in an instant.

"Water Escape·Water Blade Slash!"

Ameshima's eyes were shining with blue light as he stared coldly at Naruto who was sneaking up on him from behind.

◎

"Ah, I really had a good sleep."

Lying on the girl's back was a four-legged cub that looked like a beast but not a beast, and looked like a cat but not a cat. It is Shiraishi's thunder clone - Thunder Pill.

In the night sky with clouds and moon together, it woke up from the girl's back, first scratched her forehead with one forelimb, then yawned, lazily stood up its limbs on the girl's back, and walked from thousands of meters away. high in the sky, looking down at the earth below.

With a panoramic view of the dark forest, Thunder Maru glanced at it and asked the girl in the miko uniform below him: "Is this the forest of the Land of Fire, Sister Tianyu?"

Tianyu Nu's eyes without any emotion swept across the ground and she nodded lightly.

"Really, let us fly here from the Kingdom of Earth to pick up the intelligence personnel. Father is so good at calling people. At this time, I usually enjoy late-night snacks and don't understand us children at all."

Lei Mingwan licked his paws, and when he talked about midnight snacks, his mouth began to salivate.

hungry.

"If there is such a good thing, just ask General Tu to come over. After all, its earth escape technique is faster and it is more convenient to lead people. Moreover, Brother Tu General seems to like working very much."

Thundermaru continued to complain.

The battle in the Kingdom of Earth finally calmed down, and it finally no longer had to contain the terrifying Third Earth Shadow.

They thought they would have nothing to do for the time being and could enjoy the peaceful days. Unexpectedly, they received a transfer order and directly brought them from the distant Land of Earth to the Land of Fire.

The great Creator Father simply did not let go of their clones until they were completely squeezed out.

Ignoring these complaints from Lei Mingwan, a hoarse sound wave came from the earbud-type communicator hanging in his ear, as if conveying some kind of signal to Tianyu Nu.

Upon hearing this signal, Tianyu Nu's expressionless face fluctuated slightly, and the chakra in her body began to flow faster.

"Oh, are you going to speed up?"

Lei Mingwan felt the unusual aura of Tianyu Nu and immediately understood what she was going to do.

As the twin sister who has the best relationship among the clones and was born almost at the same time as herself, she can instantly understand what the other person is going to do even without verbal communication.

Sure enough, Tianyu Nu's body tilted downward in the air, like a bird, falling rapidly towards the earth in a swooping attitude.
