Two days later, as soon as noon passed, the sun was setting sharply in the west.

After lunch, the sand ninjas put on their backs and prepared to leave Konoha Village with some specialties that they were reluctant to throw away.

Even if you live in Konoha Village for a long time, this is not the home of the sand ninjas, and everyone knows in their hearts that sooner or later they will return to the sand hidden village that is not peaceful and prosperous.

It's not as comfortable as here, but it's a peace of mind.

At the gate of Konoha Village, there were only two people who came to see them off, Nara Shikamaru and Hinata Ninji.

is different from the memory of Nara Shikamaru, who is a standout, a high-IQ boy who has fallen to the point of keeping pace with Hinata Ningji, and the lazy and troublesome expression on his face has converged a lot.

The steady Hinata Ningji is still silent.

Although this period of time is not as outstanding as the previous chief students, as a veritable genius, he does not think that he is inferior to others.

Stepping out of the door, Daimaru seemed to think of something, turned around, walked in front of Nara Shikamaru and Hinata Ninji, and beat his chest with a smile:

"See? Nakashinobi ...... I hope the next time we meet, you'll be like me! Otherwise, when I am promoted to Shangnin, you won't even be able to see my back! ”

"You ......"

Hinata Ningji raised his eyebrows, he didn't say anything in the end, he didn't have the confidence to speak as a lower ninja, and he would only look weak if he spoke ruthlessly.

Nara Shikamaru waved his hand:

"Hurry up, I think I should stay away from you when I see your hypocritical smirk!"

"Then I'll go, the next time we meet, you have to raise your face, otherwise I will pretend I don't know you!"

Looking at the arrogant back in the distance, Nara Shikamaru sighed:

"The villain has the ambition, that's what he is talking about!"

Hinata Ninji nodded:

"It's a shame to lose to such a guy!"

There are always some guys whose strength is obviously okay, but they still have a ruffian style, and they don't have the atmosphere of being a high-level ninja at all, which makes people look very unpleasant.

However, when I thought that my current performance was not as good as this kind of person, I was very unwilling.

"Let's go back! In the future, there will be opportunities to deal with him, if you can't stand this grievance, what will you do in the future? ”

Fortunately, such a guy is a sand ninja, not a Konoha ninja, otherwise, when I think of such a person in my age who is screaming in front of me every day, I don't know what the headache will be.

……

Markey hurried in front, and the sand, who followed unhurriedly behind, whispered to Otofu:

"Senior, your subordinates like to cause trouble so much, don't you care?"

"Young people, it's a good thing to be vibrant!"

A disapproving smile appeared on Yin Feng's face, and he said heartily,

"It's you, Shazi, who is young, always with a sad face, it's too ugly!"

"It's not good to be too indulgent to juniors!"

Sha Tie, who was one step behind, also said with a smile:

"You mean Daimaru? Let the chips fall where they may! He used to be under my hands, which made me worry a lot; The current squad lacks such a guy, and the lifeless appearance makes me break my brain! ”

Ninjas are tools to complete tasks, but they are not emotionless machines.

Experienced high-level ninjas have their own ways of dealing with the world.

The sound wind said to the sand slowly:

"You, you haven't been a shinobi for a long time, and you don't have much experience, but you'll understand it after you also take on the task of guiding juniors.

The first time I led a team, I met a guy like Daimaru, and it was really easy......"

"Unthinkable!"

Shazi shook his head, he was a little restrained, although he had a delicate mind and a flexible mind, but his experience was not as rich as that of his predecessors.

In the direction of the back, I Airo and his party, who were surrounded by many middle ninjas, chatted with each other.

Just as the sun was about to set, Daimaru, who was talking and laughing, suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?"

Senko, who sensed the change in Daimaru, asked.

"It's a little wrong, from the very beginning, there have been several waves of bees flying by here......"

"What's wrong with that?"

Daimaru said in a deep voice:

"This season is not the active period for bees, especially when it is getting dark, most of the bees should return to the nest to rest......"

"Could it be that they are in a hurry to store honey for the winter, so the worker bees travel frequently and happen to be seen by us?"

"Anyway, be careful! Yeme, take a closer look......"

After listening to this, Yamu adjusted the focus of his eyes and began to observe the movements in the vicinity.

However, the matter started in a hurry, and nothing unusual was found for a while.

Markey, who was opening the way ahead, noticed the anomaly on this side, turned around and asked:

"Did you find anything wrong?"

"The atmosphere of the neighborhood, a bit of a concern......"

Markey beckoned his compatriots to stop and regain their chakra and stamina,

"It's better to be cautious, in fact, I also feel that the surrounding forest has an unsettling atmosphere!"

Yemu withdrew his farsighted eyes, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

"I didn't find anything here!"

"If you don't find it, it doesn't mean it's okay, and the eyes of the night can't find the invisible enemy!"

Daimaru looked up at the sky, the sun was about to disappear on the top of the mountains in the distance, some bright or dark stars had appeared in the east, and the bright moon in the sky couldn't wait to appear in everyone's eyes.

"What should I do?"

Everyone's eyes were on Markey, who was in the lead.

"That's all for today, let's rest!"

Markey commanded decisively,

"Whether or not there are really people lurking nearby with malice, as long as we maintain our combat effectiveness, no one is afraid!"

And so, that's fine.

The "Xiao" organization should not have time to find trouble with the sand ninja now, even if one or two S-level traitor ninjas really come, it is not impossible to fight.

If it is other people who want to fish in troubled waters, Sand Ninja will let them see that although Sand Hidden Village has declined, it is not something that everyone can covet.

After encamping on the spot, Ma Ji arranged for the night watchman, keeping two upper ninjas and five middle ninjas on guard at all times, and the others rested peacefully.

After taking turns to rest, the sand ninja regained the strength of the day's march, and when the sun rose, they did not find any enemies.

"Are we overthinking?"

Temari looked in the direction of the teacher in front of him, Markey, and felt a little relieved.

The thought of having a powerful mysterious organization that actually aims to hunt tailed beasts makes people feel uneasy.

Sooner or later, I'm going to encounter such an enemy in the future, and if it's really someone who can't wait to do it this time, then I'm going to be the top priority in Shayin Village.

After replenishing food and water, Markey could not lead the way again, this time, a little slower than yesterday, preferring to sacrifice a little speed to maintain enough stamina and chakra to deal with the danger that could be encountered at any time.

In this way, after two days of marching, the group finally approached the junction of the country of grass and the country of rain.

"Be careful tonight, if an enemy really wants to attack us, it will be the last chance, and after Kikyo Mountain Castle, we will have someone to answer."

Markey looked at the east worriedly, there was less than a day to go, and he didn't know if he would be able to reach it safely.

In the second half of the night, it was the turn of Sand Iron, Otokaze, and Daimaru to keep vigil, boringly teasing the puppet puppet on their shoulders to refresh themselves, and at this moment, a buzzing sound came from the bottom floor, and the dark shade of the trees blocked the moonlight in the sky, and only a shadow could be seen coming towards it.

"That's ......"

As soon as Orochimaru's spirit was shocked, he was about to make a sound warning sound, but suddenly, his face changed drastically, and a silver wind blade shrouded the corner behind the side.

"Wrist Flash!"

With Daimaru's shot, blood splattered, the companion screamed, and a figure appeared, seriously injured and fell from the tree, it seemed that he would not live long.

"There are enemies! This is...... Iwa Shinobi? ”

Daimaru turned pale.

"Was there supposed to be this attack? Or was it because Sand Shinobi killed Wenya that it provoked Iwa Shinobi's revenge this time?"

At the same time, the sand ninjas, who were awakened by the screams, stood up one after another and looked at the shadows that swept over.

"That's a lot of bugs!"

Quite a few people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

In addition to the fact that most of them are bees, there are also many insects that are not able to move at night.

"It's ...... Insect manipulation, is it the oil girl family? ”

Daimaru's heart moved, and then denied this idea, Konoha Village and Sand Hidden Village are at a critical juncture of getting back together, and the oil girl family, who is the pillar of Konoha , will not stab him in the back like this.

"That means that Iwakuin Village also has ninjutsu that can manipulate insects?"

Daimaru took a few steps back, and Otokaze stepped forward, his hands sealed:

"Wind Escape, Gale Palm!"

Unlike Orochi, who is good at air compression to provide power, Otofu's Wind Escape Gale Palm emphasizes the change of wind attribute chakra, and the lethality is very high, and a large number of black and crushed insects turned into corpses and fell to the ground.

"Yanyin Village did have a very powerful insect operator in the past, but it has been in decline for a long time, and I didn't expect to meet it here today."

At the same time, Temari flew forward, the three-star fan waved again and again, and the wind escape tornado spread everywhere, and the fragile insects did not get close at all, and most of them were killed and injured.

"It's useless to come back to something like this!"

Temari fan danced lightly, looking proudly in the direction of Daimaru,

"How? This is the mercenary nature of Feng Dun......"

"Stupid, be careful!"

Orochimaru's face changed and disappeared abruptly, and then appeared behind Temari's side, reaching into the empty shadows with one hand and grabbing a bare head.

The windtornado of the dark elegy reversed the wind, slicing through countless wounds of invisible enemies, and screaming and bloodshed spread everywhere.

A moment later, the body of a middle-aged Iwa Shinobi was casually thrown to the ground by Daimaru.

"Don't be careless! There are enemies here who use the Rock Hidden Technique, and although they are not very powerful, if you are not careful, you may suffer. ”

"Got it!"

Temi, who was helped by Oromaru, reluctantly agreed.

And at this moment, a group of continuous bugs came again with a buzzing sound.

"These guys, they want to send all the insects in this forest just to consume our chakra?"

Daimaru wasn't just worried.

This is obviously a long-planned retaliatory attack by Iwain Village, and it is obviously quite certain that he has to make a move knowing that there are four upper ninjas in the sand ninja and more than a dozen middle ninja combat power.

The Sand Ninjas, who are at a disadvantage in intelligence, are likely to be in a bad situation.

Yeme, who is obviously slightly inferior in strength, stays in the center of the sand ninja, constantly observing the movements around him with his eyes, reminding him of the direction that may be dangerous, and Chiba stands behind Otokaze and Iairo, constantly supporting the two with illusions.

Kankuro follows Markey, manipulating the puppet crow and the puppet black ant, guarding the teacher's flank.

Sand is stealthy and appears to be an assassin-type assassin.

Others were also scattered around, fending off a group of black-clad masked ninjas who appeared in conjunction with the swarm.

"Has Iwa Shinobu been reduced to the point where he doesn't dare to show his true face?"

Markey pushed one of the attackers back, then roared.

"Whether we fall or not, it's not the turn of the sand ninjas who killed Wenya by despicable means to judge!"

"You ......"

Hearing this voice, Markey looked at the burly figure that came out of the shadows in disbelief,

"Loess?"

"It's me! Why, do you feel scared when you see your old rival, Markey! ”

"I'm in trouble!"

Markey waved his companions back in formation, then looked at the others.

Except for two or three who endured minor injuries, the others were fine.

Daimaru, who had killed two attackers in a row, retreated to Markey's side and whispered:

"Senior, the light is not very good, and my polarized killing array can't provide much help!"

"I see!"

This situation is really troublesome.

"Since we are surrounded here, there must be a spy who leaked our information, and the ninjutsu characteristics of the sand ninjas present must have been studied clearly......"

The timing of the attack was definitely premeditated.

It's not that you can't use polarized light to kill the formation, but you definitely can't use it as easily as you can during the day.

In terms of planning and then acting, the Iwa ninja have an absolute advantage, but they don't know how many people are attacked.

"Daimaru, you go and cooperate with the sand to disrupt the enemy's rear, and at worst, you have to find out how much strength the enemy has invested to ambush us!"

"Got it!"

There are a few more powerful people here than Daimaru, but the only ones who can carry out covert assassination operations are Sand and Daimaru.

Although there are some worries about Chiwa Yame, now is not the time to think about this, fighting an enemy who knows nothing in this dark primeval forest, and if you are not careful, you will all be here.

Markey was right, at this time, Daimaru could only believe in their strength.
