Chapter 44: Rescue

Just as the Uchiha Itachi fell into the cloud ninja trap, the dried persimmon ghost shark was dragging its heavy body and trudging through the forest with difficulty.

His idea was simple, and that was to find Itachi Uchiha.

Contrary to what the ninjas of the same village imagined, the dried persimmon oni shark is not an indifferent and ruthless person. It's just that the fog ninja is intimidated by his notoriety, and ignores the soft heart under his ugly appearance.

He smiled wryly at his body, which was mostly wrapped in bandages, and doubted that his body would be of use in battle.

I can only resign myself to fate...

He gritted his teeth silently and continued to walk forward one foot deeper, one shallow.

Just a short distance ahead, the sound of steel and the chaotic clash of chakras pierced through the trees and landed in his ears.

He knew that the battle had begun, and the question was who exactly were the two sides of the war? Is Itachi Uchiha in it at all?

。。。。。。。。

"Are you crazy!"

Ape Fei Nanami shouted angrily at the rest of the people.

No one responded, and his roar was swallowed up like light by the gloomy woods, leaving no trace.

His face was gloomy, his flexible eyes twitching in his pupils, and his mind was constantly thinking of what to do.

From the first time he saw Orochimaru, he understood that he was nothing more than a front. Strictly speaking, it's just a pawn of the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash to spy on several major secret families.

The matter could not be clearer. Sarutobi uses the mission of killing the Uchiha Itachi to test the loyalty of several secret families.

Once the Uchiha Itachi is killed, then the secret family and the Uchiha clan are bound to be like fire and water, and there is no possibility of compromise, so they can only honestly stand on the side of the upper echelons of Konoha.

More precisely, it is on the side of his ape flying and slashing. The death of Uchiha Itachi is the name of several secret families.

In case the mission fails, the ninjas of several secret families die at the hands of Uchiha Itachi. The last few secret families and the Uchiha clan will also turn against each other, and it will be impossible to maintain the current state of well water without river water.

For the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash, no matter who dies, he will not have anything to lose, and in the end he will be able to achieve his goal.

As for the central character of this secret mission: Uchiha Itachi, no matter what, he will be a dead end.

Because in this middle ninja exam, there is also a legendary ninja who has long stood at the top of the ninja pyramid: Orochimaru.

No matter how strong Uchiha Itachi is, it is impossible for him to escape in the hands of Orochimaru. What's more, Orochimaru has long coveted the Uchiha clan's blood inheritance limit "Writing Wheel Eye", and it is impossible to let go of this great opportunity to be sent to the door in vain.

Although Itachi Uchiha couldn't make it out of the rainforest alive, it mattered who he died in the end. This determines whether Sarufei Nanami can take the opportunity of this Zhongnin exam to get a different look at Sarufei Sun.

Sarutobi Nanami swept over several teenagers who were also Konoha ninjas with a vicious gaze, and couldn't help but crunch his teeth.

"I'm an ape flying over the seven seas, and sooner or later I'll become the Hokage's man. How can you be willing to just play an inconspicuous supporting role. No matter what, I'm going to let the Uchiha Itachi die at my hands. ”

An idea suddenly flashed through his mind, and his restless mood gradually calmed down.

"Since you insist on going to Uchiha Itachi, then I'll go with you. Although it's dangerous, Itachi is a ninja of Konoha after all... ”

He put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.

It's a pity that the rest of the people completely ignore his existence and continue to discuss something in a whisper.

Sarutobi Nanami had no choice but to sneer and take the initiative to approach the temporary captain Nara Shikatomo.

"Bastard, this captaincy position was supposed to be mine!"

He squeezed out a smile on his face and cursed in his heart.

。。。。。。。。

"Then it's decided."

Nara Shikayu said solemnly to the rest of the people.

The rest of the people nodded in unison, their expressions all looking a little heavy.

Inuzuka Hana is still unconscious, the oil girl mallet has temporarily lost her combat ability due to the excessive consumption of chakra, and Hinata Xiangta is also injured.

Among the Konoha ninjas, only the Nara Shikatomo squad really maintains intact combat effectiveness, and there is also an ape flying Nanami who may abandon his companions to survive at any time.

With such a lineup, whether it is facing the Great Snake Pill behind him or facing the cloud ninja people in front, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

But even in such a desperate situation, Nara Luyou did not panic, but there was more helplessness on his face.

Ahead, the breath of blood rushed to everyone's face with the forest wind.

。。。。。。。。

The Uchiha Itachi was caught in a bitter battle.

His blood-red eyes stood out in the dark woods. It's like a lighthouse, illuminating a large space.

Shortly after falling into the trap of Yun Ninja, he was forced to open the Writing Wheel Eye.

His original intention was to break out of Yun Shinobi's encirclement as quickly as possible and return to the shadows to continue his sneak attack tactics.

However, Yun Shinobi's level of tacit understanding and determination to keep him here exceeded his expectations.

He broke through several times in a row and was stopped by Yun Ren with his body. Although he had severely injured the two Yun Ninja, the chakra in his own body was also rapidly depleting.

His speed had inevitably slowed down, and Yun Shinobi's attacks became more and more violent.

Uchiha Itachi tried his best to dodge under the siege of Yun Shinobi while looking for an opportunity to break through again.

The chakra fluctuations around him lapped against his body like waves of the ocean, making it more difficult for him to move. He could even clearly see the smug smile that was gradually emerging on Rey's face.

His heart sank ...

。。。。。。。。

The dried persimmon ghost shark observed the melee in front of him from a distance, and began to unwrap the white bandage that wrapped half of his body.

A burst of pain came from the wound, and his forehead was soon covered with large and small beads of sweat.

Although the pain was unbearable, he grinned as if he was doing something that made him feel very happy.

The half-red, white-and-white bandages fell to the ground, some of the long wounds had scabbed, and the red-black wounds, which were more than a meter long, still had a small amount of red liquid oozing.

He shook his hands in satisfaction, feeling the active cells in his body from the pain.

As if feeling the presence of the dried persimmon ghost shark, in the distant battlefield, the Uchiha Itachi's blood-red gaze penetrated the layers of obstacles and landed on the dried persimmon ghost shark.

As if suddenly unloading the boulder from his body, Uchiha Itachi's expression suddenly relaxed, and a smile appeared on his handsome cheeks.
