Chapter 8 Gambling
The giant trees in the sky whistled past his ears, and the obstacles in his path were destroyed by the demon fox coat, which did not affect Naruto's speed in the slightest. Naruto, who was in the state of the second tail, had already thrown off the three tails that followed him, and the dark surveillance squad that was served by the three elite shinobi was not taken seriously by the current Naruto at all. Now the biggest problem comes from one's own body, the long-term speeding and the forced extraction of the Nine-Tails Chakra have brought a considerable load to the young body and their own spirits, and the resistance of the Nine-Tails has exacerbated the consumption of mental power. This situation made it impossible for Naruto to continue to maintain his original speed, and it seemed that he had to find a place to hide.
"Little ghost, you use my chakra quite comfortably, huh?" Inside the seal, Nine-Tails felt that his chakra was still being withdrawn, and said indignantly.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Jiu, there are two things I want to do anyway. It's just that Konoha's people probably won't let me get my wish, so I really have no choice but to borrow Xiao Jiu's chakra, and if there is another way, I won't do it. Don't worry, I'll give you all your chakra back when I escape. Naruto stood in front of the seal and said to the Nine-Tails.
Nine-tails squinted his eyes slightly, prostrate on the ground, and looked at the chakra that he was constantly being pulled out and said disdainfully: "Hmph, what do you think Uncle Ben is?" I'm a nine-tailed, and this level of chakra is just a drop in the bucket for me. But don't think this incident will end there, I remember you. ”
After this incident, the Nine-Tails also began to face Naruto, and used his spiritual power to forcibly separate his chakra from his body, this power should not be underestimated, so the Nine-Tails did not become as angry as before, but endured this breath.
In the past, the Nine-Tails only regarded Naruto as an insignificant little worm, but this bug relied on the seal to and pee on his head, which of course made the Nine-Tails angry. But this incident undoubtedly reminded the Nine-Tails that the little ghost in front of him was by no means an ordinary person, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was an opponent worth facing seriously. The current Nine-Tails is like a latent volcano, seemingly harmless, but once it erupts, it will shake the heavens and the earth.
Naruto, who had made up his mind and fed back his chakra to the Nine-Tails, didn't say much, but began to slow down and decided to find a place to hide.
Behind Naruto, the pursuit team of 12 shinobi was constantly shortening the distance between them, and Kakashi, who was in the first squad, had even greeted the three shadows who were chasing Naruto at the beginning. After learning the latest information, they unleashed their speed, leaving the three shadows behind.
And Naruto, who was fleeing in front of him, gradually stopped, because in Naruto's spiritual world, 3 bright bright spots were rapidly approaching him, and according to their speed, even if he burst out with 3 tails, don't want to get rid of them. Originally, Naruto was confident that his speed in the two-tailed state would not be at least slower than that of ordinary Shangnin, but he didn't expect the chasing Shangnin's speed to be so fast. However, Naruto didn't know that even among the upper ninja, the upper ninja with such speed at least had a high level of attainment in physical skills.
Naruto's mind continued to deduce, and finally came to the conclusion that even if he could maintain his current speed and continue to escape, he would be caught up by them sooner or later, and he would have no chance of winning against the three shinobi at the same time. And the two-tailed mode can no longer be supported, and you have to find a place to hide and gamble. 6。
When Naruto saw the river in front of him, he slowly stopped, and stopped extracting the chakra of the Nine-Tails inside his body, in an attempt to create the illusion of exhaustion.
But I was about to reach my limit, so I didn't lie to them.
After leaving the gradually scattered footprints, he jumped into the river, sank his body to the bottom of the river and covered it with mud and sand, and then collected his breath as much as possible. But this alone could not escape Kaminobi's perception, and Naruto then used his remaining mental power to completely wrap himself in the form of a chrysalis. Naruto knew very well that his biggest trump card now was not the Nine-Tails, but the spiritual power that had not yet been taken seriously and used in this world. The powerful spiritual power that has crossed with his soul and the experience of using his spiritual power related to himself is his greatest wealth.
"Fortunately, my current body is only 3 years old, and my body is not large, so the possibility of being found is further reduced." For the first time, Naruto felt that his physical body also had a different kind of benefit, and thought with some rejoicing.
After doing all this, Naruto closed his eyes, stopped all movements and lowered his heart rate as much as possible. What followed was a gamble with the Shinobi - if the pursuing force stayed near the river bank for too long, Naruto, who had no oxygen supply at all, had only two options: jump out of the water and be captured back to the village, or suffocated underwater.
Unsurprisingly, Kakashi's first pursuit team quickly chased them to the river.
"To be sure, the Nine-Tails stopped here." After checking the situation on both sides of the strait back and forth with Kakashi, another shinobu from Kai's team, he sat down slightly out of breath and said. On the way to the pursuit, it was a little difficult to catch up with Kai and Kakashi, and Kai, who was obviously over-blooded along the way, kept yelling to speed up, youth struggle and the like, and in the end he was almost running at full speed.
"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'll fall down before I see the Nine-Tails." The shinobi couldn't help but think, "Forget that Kakashi Hachiki, I've heard that he's a genius ninja a long time ago, and he really deserves his reputation." But what kind of character is this strange guy, the heir of a big family? I've never heard of it. And the two of them are still so young. ”
Sneaking a glance at Kakashi, who was not panting at all, and Kai, who was refreshed, the shinobu suddenly felt that he was old and a little out of tune.
"What's next? Do we decentralize our search? Kai, who has always used his body to think instead of his mind, decided to leave the complicated matter of deciding course to someone with a better head to think about, and turned back to Kakashi and asked.
"No, let's wait here for the team in the back, let's go together." Kakashi touched his chin and leaned down to take a closer look at the last footprints.
Another member of the same team, Shangnin, has no objections, and it is just right to recover the physical strength consumed now.
After a few minutes, the next 3 squads arrived one after another, and they were obviously puzzled by a certain Shangshinobi who was sitting under the tree, and when they saw that it didn't look like a battle, everyone didn't ask much.
After learning about the current situation, everyone turned their eyes to Kakashi, and it was clear that Kakashi's outstanding performance had fully won everyone's trust.
Kakashi had no choice but to stand up and ask, "What is the condition underwater?" ”
"Nothing was found, the river was very calm." A shinobi who is good at water escape and was assigned to search underwater.
"I didn't feel any chakras other than us nearby, nothing out of the ordinary, what next?" Yamashiro Aoba also put away his perception and asked Kakashi.
Kakashi thought about it for a moment and analyzed, "From Naruto's last footprints, it is certain that the chakra of the Nine-Tails has dispersed, although the reason is unknown, but now Naruto should not have any combat power.
In order to save time, I suggest that the 12 of us search in the direction of each of the 12 hours centered here, just in case, do not fight someone when they find their target, just send a signal and wait for reinforcements. The others immediately approached him as soon as they received the signal and rounded him up. ”
"Good! So it was decided. The rest of the ninjas unanimously approved this plan and nodded one after another. Each of the 10 shinobi chose a direction to start the search, leaving only Kai and Kakashi on the scene.
"Oh! Kakashi, let's play a match, it's about who finds the target first and captures it, how about it! Kai stood up and pointed at Kakashi with one hand, challenging him to win.
"Why do you want to take on such a troublesome challenge, is there any point?" Kakashi said helplessly, and he complained helplessly, having a good understanding of Kai's strange actions and personality.
But apparently the one in front of him who wouldn't listen to anyone else's words, Kai said to Kakashi with high enthusiasm, "Good! It was decided, and if I lost, I would do a handstand around Konoha 500 laps! My opponent, don't lose! After revealing his signature pose and shiny white fangs, Kai rushed into the woods.
Rubbing his forehead helplessly and sighing, Kakashi, who was left behind, left the place after looking at the footprints, and the riverbank, which had welcomed many visitors, fell silent again.
It wasn't until he was sure that all 12 of them had left the place at a certain distance that Naruto floated up from the bottom of the river, climbed up the river bank with his hands and feet, and breathed in the fresh air.
"I almost suffocated in the river," Naruto thought, "If I hadn't kept decomposing my chakra to maintain my body, I would have died long ago." It's not right, maybe you'll struggle to get ashore before you die, right? What am I going to do? ”
Naruto, who relied on dismantling his own chakra, finally survived to the end, although he did not suffocate to death, but it was quite thrilling. Because for ninjas, chakra is a manifestation of vitality, and when their chakra disappears completely, they will also die.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a special way of lurking, if he hadn't had the cover of a spiritual barrier, if the upper ninjas had stayed longer, although there were too many ifs, but this unseen battle was Naruto who won the game first.
This was not a safe place after all, and if the shinobi returned, it would be a turtle in the urn, and after regaining a little strength, Naruto got up again and continued to flee. However, not long after Naruto left, a figure reappeared on the riverbank where he had been hiding......
