Chapter 55: Halfway (7)

As the saying goes, fire and water are merciless, although these rivers are not mixed with chakra, but the flow is equivalent to the art of four or five waterfalls, the trees along the road are violently shaken by the impact, and the slightly malnourished ones are directly pulled up by the roots and swept into the fierce flowing water...

An elite in the root endured the unfortunate relay on one such tree, and was immediately swallowed by the river, only had time to let out a scream, and I don't know if his companions heard it, but even if he heard it, no one would come to save him, such a fierce current is basically impossible to use chakra to stand on it, rashly rescuing will only affect themselves, they have no friendship at all, falling into it and being torn by the undercurrent, in case they are hit by some sharp object, whether they can save their lives can only depend on luck.

......

Xiang Phosphorus closed her eyes quietly, ready to accept everything in front of her...

"Mom... Phosphor is coming to see you."

A gale struck her face, and the roar of the stirring reached her ears, and when death really came, Xiang Phosphorus still subconsciously wanted to tighten her body, but the rope that tied her made her unable to move, and she could only shrink her neck in fear...

"Huh?" The violent impact and tearing in her imagination did not befall her, but as if a gentle stream of water was caressing her, Xiang Phosphorus opened her eyes in confusion.

The rope is also untied? Xiang Pho felt a burst of relief, and she felt like she was in an airtight hut with a raging storm outside.

It was amazing that this gentle stream of water was carrying her upstream, and it was so fast, it seemed like it was just ordinary water to her Kagura's eyes.

"Sakura-chan, is that you?" Kaori guessed that only Sakura would come back to save her at this time, and she had the ability to save her.

But Sakura doesn't have time to pay attention to her now, this situation won't last long, at most one more minute, the accumulated river water will run out, and the people at the roots will return immediately after the river water returns to normal, and it will be too late to leave.

"Captain, I feel something unusual, the red-haired girl is not dead, and is moving upstream, as for 'Fu', I can't feel his presence anymore" The sentient ninja 'Eye' in the root team has been following the captain to provide him with information.

"Not dead?" The root troop leader stopped, standing on the top of a thick tree, no matter how the big tree shook, he stood on it, it can be seen that his chakra control is strong, and the perceptual ninja is not far behind, after all, chakra control is the basis of perceptual ninjutsu, as for the others, they are scattered in the distance, although I don't know why the captain stopped, but they are all looking for a safe place to stay, a hapless guy landed on the tree that was hit by a drifting trunk in the water, fortunately even if he hugged the branch under his feet and then adjusted his body and stood up, But in such a short time, he had been washed away by the water with the trunk of the tree, and he could no longer see the captain, and his body was covered with scratches...

The Root Troop Leader looked down at the piece of crushed ice he was holding in his hand, it was something he had found on the water, and more than that, every now and then he could see a piece of such crushed ice on the water, and from the ice he could feel a faint chakra.

And that red-haired grass ninja, how can that kind of scum-like ninja go against such a torrent, you must know that this downstream area is just similar to the terrain of a depression, the water level is more than ten meters high, and seven or eight out of ten trees can't see the top...

Well? No, the trees that were invisible just now have risen to the top, the water level is dropping, and there is no chakra in these waters, which means that this is just ordinary water, so why do these ordinary waters form such a huge current? Do you know that the water source here is only a river four or five meters wide a day?

Crushed ice? Ordinary water? A mighty current that seems to have a weak successor? The weird grass ninja who swims against the current? The 'blessing' of fetching water and not returning? The Root Troop Leader is constantly analyzing all kinds of suspicious clues in his head...

An important piece of information flashed through his mind, instantly connecting everything together, and there was an unconfirmed piece of information in the information of the root Haruno Sakura: It is suspected that the Ice Escape Blood Succession, escaped from the hands of Orochimaru, Tuan Zang disdains the Orochimaru on the surface, but in his heart, he raised Sakura's danger level by a few notches, and increased his efforts to dig out Sakura's information, Ice Escape is the root based on some clues to speculate, but now the root army leader is eighty percent sure that Haruno Sakura will be Ice Escape, and not only that, she can do her best. Eye's imperceptibility with a burden against the torrent, although this conjecture can not be confirmed by a clue, but he just doesn't want to believe that the lower ninja of the grass ninja village can have such an ability.

"It's not Kiri Shinobi at all, it's Haruno Sakura, let's go back quickly, these waters will subside soon, we can't let them run away" Root Troop Commander shouted, returning the same way first, the 'eye' followed, and the Nakashinobi in the distance, who hadn't had an accident yet, had no objection to the captain's words, and carrying out the order was the meaning of his life.

......

"Sakura-chan, they're chasing after you" Kagura Kagura had already noticed that the three people at the root were already rushing back quickly, the water level had dropped a lot, and their speed was much faster than when they ran away.

"Can you hide your chakra now?" Sakura asked Xiang Phosphorus this time, she remembered that Xiang Phosphorus had this ability, and the upper ninja of this root had a bit of strength, and she found the abnormality so quickly, and it was impossible for her to escape back to Konoha with Xiang Phosphorus, so she had to find another way.

"I can," Kazo replied with a sigh of relief when she heard Sakura's reply.

"Okay, don't move, let's sink into the water" Sakura's body turned into water wrapped in fragrant phosphorus and immediately sank into the water, with the flow of water, they are now running in the direction of Konoha 100% caught, only by avoiding the other party's perception ninjutsu let the river escape with them can there be a glimmer of hope of escaping.

As for leaving Xiang Phosphorus and going back to Konoha alone, she didn't think about it, but now that she drops Xiang Phosphorus, she will definitely bring back the root slices, and those who are interested in both herself and Orochimaru, Tuan Zang will definitely not let it go, not to mention that Xiang Phosphorus is still a grass ninja.

......

"Captain, they're gone, this time even the grass ninja is gone, and it's very weird, without a hint of warning," 'Eye' said hurriedly.

"It seems that some of them also have the ability to perceive ninjutsu, and they also have the ability to hide themselves, but it's like running away, it's too naïve, 'Hades' you go upstream to comb the water flow with soil escape, and the 'eye' continues to monitor this area, especially the downstream part, these waters don't flow out of this depression, I go to the riverbed downstream to watch, that's the outlet of this depression, I don't believe they can go to the sky, if they see the other three wastes, let them look around to see if there are any hiding places" The root troop leader immediately guessed Sakura's thoughts, and assigned the task in an orderly manner.
