Chapter 57: The Enemy
Kato was injured, and the wound in his leg was deeper and more fatal, which would fundamentally affect his skills. Kuroki looked very innocent on the side, as the initiator, he didn't mean to, he didn't expect that Kato Due, who had the strongest combat power, would be injured like this, and what was worse was that there was no medical ninja, only relying on herbs and bandages, and Kato Due's combat power could not be restored for a while.
Kato didn't blame Kurogi, leaned on the huge tree trunk, and with a deep contemplative face, he learned about the situation on Kuroki's side, and each team didn't deliver the news in time, which made him think directly in the worst direction.
Obviously, there was a serious mistake in the distribution of combat power.
The strength of Konoha's side was too much worse than that of the enemy, and he clearly noticed this from the beginning of the battle.
In just one team, there are two upper ninjas in the team.
There are only two situations for this kind of combat power distribution, one is that the number of enemies is not expensive, and the other is that the opponent's combat power is so strong that it overflows, so two upper ninjas will be allocated to another team, and Kato guesses the second one.
The combat power of the two sides is not proportional, and this situation can only preserve strength.
"Back to the base."
He immediately decided to return to the stronghold, so he took the black wood, carved the communication code along the way, and went straight to the direction of the stronghold.
Kato's judgment was very correct, Konoha's entire 100-person blocking team couldn't stop Iwa Shinobi at all, and when he and Ye Zi ended their respective battles, Konoha's people had been eaten away to less than twenty people left, and everyone in the upper ninja was unfortunately killed except for Kato Break.
The team Ye Zi encountered was not weak, but it was not the strongest, among the team he encountered, there was only one upper ninja, although the others were medium ninjas, but the level was close to upper ninja, this was just a relatively regular team, and there were hundreds of people sent by the rock ninja.
In the face of such a powerful combat force, Konoha was naturally defeated, and some Konoha ninjas with strong self-protection ability chose to retreat, and everyone chose to return to the stronghold sensibly, because of this, the rock ninja formed a contraction net and kept shrinking to the stronghold.
Iwa Shinobi will not choose to attack the stronghold, they will cut off the Konoha ninja before they return to the stronghold, and eat it all, that is, this is a life and death hour, compared to whether the remnants of Konoha return to the stronghold first, or whether the Iwa Shinobi can intercept all the remnants of Konoha .
Kato was injured in a broken leg, which affected the speed of his travel, and it was a blessing that he didn't encounter enemies along the way, but he didn't meet Konoha either, which made his heart sink.
At the same time, Shikaku and Haiichi marched quickly with Dingza, and although they didn't know the enemy's situation, they knew one thing very well, that is, to return to the stronghold as quickly as possible.
Ye Zi, who secretly followed Lu Jiu, was always on guard, but he didn't encounter enemies along the way, but he saw several corpses of Konoha instead, and one of them was still a shinobi.
These corpses, Lu Jiu and they also saw them, and when they saw that Shangnin, the two of them didn't say how bad their mood was.
Even the upper ninja is hiccuping, and their crippled lower ninja is not enough to stuff people's teeth.
Maybe it's the favor of God, or the time difference.
Several people were lucky to meet Kato and Kurogi on the road, and after seeing Kato Broken injured, Lu Jiu's face changed, and even the most powerful Kato Broken was injured, which shows how strong the other party is.
Several people gathered together, which can be regarded as forming a small combat force, and it also adds a little sense of security, so that some pressure is relieved.
The two sides briefly exchanged their respective situations, and then continued to march without stopping, and Kato had no opinion on Ye Zi's choice to hide in the dark to support.
Lu Jiu will add a lot of speculation because of Ye Zi's positive weakness, and Kato knows which side Ye Zi's strength tends towards, so he thinks this arrangement is reasonable.
As the distance from the stronghold gets closer and closer, the shrinkage net will get closer and tighter, and soon, Kato and his party will encounter the Iwa Shinobi team who came to intercept them.
Not a standard four-man squad, but a three-man squad, perhaps one person who died in battle. The three members of this team are all Shangnin, and one of them is quite famous.
When Kato saw that very famous person, his expression immediately changed, he knew this Iwa Shinobi, named Qianshishi, who had a strong attainment in Tu Dun, and many people in Konoha were defeated by this person, and he didn't know the other two people, but judging from the amount of chakra, they were all very powerful people.
With their current situation, when encountering such a team, there is no way to survive, not to mention that he is injured, even if he is not injured, in the face of such an opponent, it is more than enough to protect himself, but the others will definitely die.
Kato is not Ye Zi, he will not leave any of his teammates behind, so when he saw that the other party was so strong, he was already thinking about how to let Lu Jiu and them escape.
However, the other party is not a good type, and when they saw Kato break them, there was no nonsense, and the three of them flew directly to attack.
"Disperse, run!"
Hardly any hesitation, Kato let out a loud shout and directly met the attacking three people with his injured body.
Who is Shikahisa?
He is very intelligent and very sensible.
Judging the difference in strength between the two sides with a single look, coupled with Kato's order, almost at this moment, he seemed to become as cold-blooded as Ye Zi, and without the slightest hesitation, he helped Haiyi to avoid the battle group and went straight to the direction of the stronghold.
Kuroki is not as smart as Shikaku, but he is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and he is a little afraid of death, so as soon as Kato's words fell, he also avoided the war group and went in the direction of the stronghold.
They all know that unnecessary casualties can be avoided, and that preserving combat power is more important than meaningless death.
Ye Zi, who was hiding in the dark, saw Kato Break's move, his eyes changed slightly, as if he didn't expect that in such a short period of a few seconds, Kato Break made such a decision, obviously without careful consideration.
Ye Zi's eyes flashed, if it were him, he would definitely leave them and run first without hesitation, but Kato chose to keep them, no, or to increase their chances of survival.
It's just that the combat power of Iwa Shinobi is too strong, so strong that Kato Tsuki's current state can't resist the three of them at all.
Sengoku directly ordered the other two to pursue Shikahisa and them, while he himself blocked Kato Tsuru.
If it was Kato Broken in his heyday, he would still have to weigh it, but at this moment, Kato Broken was injured, and he had full confidence to kill Kato Broken.
"Tu Dun, gabion!"
Sengoku sneered, and a large number of stones shot out from the ground, quickly forming a huge birdcage around Kato Tsukasa.
At the same time, the other two people passed over Kato Tsuka, who was trapped in the gabion, with expressionless faces, and chased after Shikaku.
"Bastard! Spiritualization! ”
Kato's expression changed, and he directly used his most powerful technique, and his own soul rushed out of his back, quickly passing through the gabion, and heading straight for the thousand stones.
"I know your skills."
Qianshi's expression was not flustered at all, his expression was cold, and he saw that Kato's broken soul body was about to approach, and he didn't see any movement, but he suddenly disappeared.
"What!"
The soul-hardened Kato's expression changed, and he couldn't find out the location of the thousand stones in the state of Chakra's perception, and in order to avoid a large amount of consumption of Chakra, he could only be forced to withdraw his soul and terminate the spiritualization technique.
The spirit technique is very strong, so strong that it is simply an invincible existence in a one-on-one situation, but the disadvantage is that it needs to consume a lot of chakra, and the staying power is not strong.
Chiseki obviously knew this, so he used unknown means to hide his figure, so that Kato in his soul state could not even detect it.
After the spiritualization technique was targeted, Kato Xuan, who was in the gabion, looked very solemn.
Ye Zi, who was hiding in the dark and was about to leave, suddenly showed a very interested light in his eyes after seeing the spiritualization used by Kato, and Iwa Shinobi was only one person left, so he was not in such a hurry to leave.
He was very interested in Kato's technique, and even wanted to learn how to use it.
So, he chose to stay.
