Less than an hour away from the place of the incident, Nara Shikamaru led four compatriots and was speeding in the direction that Sasuke Uchiha had left.

"Ahead, Shinobu is fighting an enemy...... It's Otoshinobi! ”

After entering the observation range of the white eye, Hinata Ninji informed the others of the latest situation.

"Sure enough, it's a sand ninja!"

Nara's brow furrowed even more.

Inuzuka says:

"I said it a long time ago, it must be them, Shino and Hinata and I have seen the despicable Daimaru used once......"

"Ya, now, we are on the same front as Sand Shinobi, don't have such a bad attitude......"

"Got it!"

Although he was a little reluctant, he had a bad relationship with his allies, and Inuzuka was unwilling to carry such a black cauldron.

Nara Shikamaru bit his nails lightly and said seriously:

"This time we have to brace our spirits, the enemy may be much stronger than we think!"

"How do you know?"

An anxious Uzumaki Naruto turned his head and asked.

In order to catch up with Uchiha Sasuke, this one is the most urgent, and when he heard that the task has become more difficult, he can't help but get nervous.

"Although Sasuke is strong, the five of us together should be able to take it! However, soon after we set off, Tsunade-sama urgently sent Sand Shinobi to support, indicating that our combat power was obviously insufficient! It is highly likely that there is an unexpected strong enemy waiting for us in front of us......"

"Wait......"

Hinata Ninji suddenly interrupted Nara's words,

"There is a situation, Shizuni-senpai is treating two injured shinobi, and it's not far from us! In addition, the battle on my side is not going well......"

"Even a guy like that can't be caught? Also, haven't you seen the other sand ninjas? ”

Hinata Ningji shook his head:

"I haven't found it yet!"

"That's troublesome, it's likely that they're chasing other enemies, and it's just a pawn to delay time that stops me......"

Nara Shikamaru looked at his companion and calmed down slightly.

Fortunately, there are strong players on my side, so I won't mess up!

Needless to say, Hinata Ningji is a genius who matches his name;

Although Inuzuka is short-tempered, he is also a very powerful companion;

Although Naruto Uzumaki was not taken seriously in the past, his progress is now amazing, and whether he can bring back Sasuke Uchiha depends largely on him;

As for Akido Dingji, this inconspicuous teammate, Nara Shikamaru knows, that is a reliable guy at a critical moment.

"Want to speed it up?"

Hinata Ningji asked.

"No!"

As the temporary captain, Nara Shikamaru is still very competent so far,

"Originally, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch up, but now that Sand Shinobu is in front to help intercept and slow down the enemy's advance, we don't have to be so anxious. Keep up the speed and don't overexert your physical strength, otherwise, it will be bad if you can't play your strength in battle! ”

"Got it!?"

Although in a hurry, Naruto Uzumaki also knew that now was not the time to be willful.

"Trust Tsunade-sama! The rest, it's up to us to work hard! ”

Although it was only a test mission, the first time he led the team, he encountered such a troublesome situation, and Nara Shikamaru also felt a little tricky.

It's just that the time is urgent, and it's too late to think about it in the long run, and the sand shinobi who was sent to support has already started, even if it is difficult, the Konoha team must hold on.

……

Between offense and defense, I'm Airo, who is a little sluggish, and some can't keep up with the speed of the Oni Boy Pill.

"It turned out to be just a passive target, I thought you were so good!"

Oni Boy Maru sneered, using the Secret Technique Spider Nest to open, spitting out one spider web after another, and headed towards my Airo Hood, but was easily tossed aside by the sand arm.

Seeing that this trick had no effect, Oni Tongmaru did not hesitate, and immediately cast a psychic technique, summoning a large spider, and after cutting open its abdomen, countless small spiders with tough spider silk surrounded it, overwhelmingly attacking my Airo.

Seeing this, I Ai Luo no longer hesitated, and the gourd behind him turned into sand, wrapping himself in a clump, allowing countless spider silk to wrap himself into a large white cocoon.

"Is that all?"

My Ara's deep voice came from the big white cocoon worm.

A circle of yellow sand swelled suddenly, completely breaking the cocoon, and then swatting the psychic spiders all over the ground to death.

"It's really a unique talent, the sand that integrates offense and defense is really difficult, but you can't attack me!"

The voice of the ghost boy pill came from the deep woods behind him,

"Don't think that kind of defense is foolproof, we're not those who are shinobi!"

As he spoke, the Oni Boy Pill immediately turned on the second state of the curse seal, the color of his skin quickly deepened, a horn appeared on each of his six arms, his hair turned white and stood up, and the third eye on his forehead opened.

"Mystic Spider Warbow!"

The terrifying longbow and arrows made of extremely elastic spider sticky gold, under the control of the oni boy maru, are aimed in the direction of my Airo.

Oni Boy Maru, who was in a state of playfulness and teasing, didn't notice at all that an eye made of sand was staring in his direction.

Suddenly, with a subtle tremor, the long arrow shot out rapidly, and instantly shot through Iara, who was standing still.

"Got it!"

Before the excited Oni Boy Pill could celebrate further, a murderous aura came from not far away.

"Sand shuriken!"

Several hidden weapons composed of sand shot from all directions, and the Oni Boy Pill, who couldn't dodge in a hurry, had to use his arms to protect the vital point.

Burst......

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through a human body was heard, and both arms spun and fell to the ground.

This was accompanied by the terrible screams of the Oni Boy Maru.

"Six arms, two missing, should be able to hold on for a while!"

Behind the shade of the trees, I Airo, unscathed, walked out.

"How did you find me?"

The ghost boy pill who staggered backwards, holding the spider war bow in his hand, mounted the arrow, and aimed it at my Airo,

"It's a doppelganger over there, when? Also, my Slimy Gold Armor didn't protect against your attacks? ”

"Long-winded!"

I Airo raised his hands, and a cloud of sand formed countless projectiles and shot at the Oni Boy Maru.

The proud defense didn't last long in the face of the rain of the sand in my Airo!

……

Hinata Ninji, who had just crossed the place where I Airo and Oni-tomaru fought, turned around after a while.

"That I'm really good!"

"Did you win?"

Shikamaru Nara asked.

"Almost, that guy with a weird chakra is no match!"

Hinata Ningji observed for a while and came to a conclusion.

The absence of a strong enemy is naturally a good thing, but ......

"Front...... Haven't found it yet? ”

"There are traces of the enemy passing by, and the direction is not wrong, but it has not yet entered the range of the white eye......"
