Chapter 31: Walking Alone
Seeing that the Konoha ninja below was about to disappear from sight, Uchiha Itachi sighed silently.
Although he didn't plan to team up with the other ninjas, he couldn't watch the Konoha ninja die in the rainforest.
He slid silently off the trunk of a tree like a gecko, far behind.
The Konoha ninja in front of him cautiously looked around as fast as he could, not noticing that there was already an extra person behind him.
。。。。。。。。
The second day of the Nakashinobi exam.
Compared with the calm of the first day, the rainforest on the second day had a bit more of a solemn taste.
In the depths of the rainforest, where light can't be touched, invisible killings are staged everywhere.
The calm rainforest seems to suddenly become noisy.
The occasional clash of steel and ninjutsu, as well as flocks of startled birds, showed all the ninjas in the area the battle that was taking place at this time.
This is a world where the strong can play the role of hunters, while the weaker ones can only survive as prey in the dense forest.
At the same time, the roles of the hunter and the prey are also constantly changing, and the last second may still be the hunter, and the prey in front of him seems to be at his fingertips. The next second, it may become prey, and stay forever in this dark rainforest.
Shanzhong Airlines has an accurate positioning for itself.
Before he joins up with his teammates, he's the lowest prey in this killing game, and any hostile ninja can kill him.
Therefore, he tried to stay as far away as possible from the areas where there were voices and battles, and used all his physical strength on the road.
His pale face was a little red, partly because of the intense exertion of his physical strength, and partly because he was almost safe.
From where he is now, an hour further east, he will be able to reach the booked meeting point.
There, two teammates who can always block enemy attacks for him with their bodies are waiting for him.
As long as he gets there, he doesn't have to worry about his safety anymore.
This self-confidence comes from trust in teammates and an understanding of one's own abilities.
He stopped abruptly and looked around vigilantly, his already somewhat excited mood cooled by the faint chakra fluctuations in the air.
"Whoosh... Whoosh... ”
There was a sudden piercing sound in the air.
A large piece of black iron needle struck head-on, like a huge black net, enveloping the mountain in the air.
Yamanaka was shocked, and it was too late to dodge.
He swung the kunai in his hand to fly the iron needle that flew close to him, and his body kept jumping back and forth in the narrow gap, trying to avoid the huge net of iron needles.
Kunai collided with the iron needle, making a continuous crisp sound, occasionally mixed with one or two painful snorts caused by the steel needle piercing the human body.
Like a summer thunderstorm, the attack comes and goes fast.
The forest fell silent.
Yamanaka hid his body behind a large tree, trying to find out where the attacker was.
On the ground and tree trunks within a radius of four or five meters, iron needles are densely inserted with inches long.
On his body, the sparse Lala subway needle pierced the ninja suit, and the blood-colored dots began to expand on the ninja suit.
About twenty meters away from the big tree where Yamanaka was hiding, the sneak attacker swaggered out of the shadows.
It turned out to be a humanoid puppet, and a cylindrical object in its hand was facing the direction of the tree.
He is the puppeteer of Sand Hidden Village.
Shan Zhonghang couldn't help but sigh, and his heart suddenly cooled half.
If you are a ninja from another hidden village and there is only one enemy, you can also take a gamble and try to control the enemy's actions with the "Mind and Body Technique".
But if it is a puppet, the spiritual secret technique is completely useless.
At this moment, he no longer dared to hold back, and used all his strength to use Chakra to search for traces of the sand ninja around.
A short distance to the northwest suddenly erupted into a strong chakra fluctuation.
Yamanaka is overjoyed, as long as he can find out the enemy's position, he will still have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
However, the joy on his face only lingered for less than half a second.
The humanoid golem swooped out from behind the tree, the swarthy cylindrical object in its hand aimed at his head.
His face suddenly turned snow-white, and in the swarthy hole, the cold air of iron needles rushed to his cheeks.
At a distance of less than ten centimeters, as soon as the puppet gently presses the button, his face will be instantly shot into a hedgehog.
He reluctantly lowered the kunai in his hand, and cold sweat ran down his spine and climbed up his neck.
Time passed minute by minute, Shan Zhonghang was motionless, beads of sweat the size of beans fell to the ground along his cheeks, and cold sweat had already soaked his whole body.
To his surprise, the puppet never made any moves, and there was no movement in the forest.
The puppet holding the black cylinder stood as if it had become a dead thing, and even the fluctuations that manipulated the puppet chakra disappeared without a trace.
"Hey, how long are you going to stand like this...
Suddenly, an impatient voice was heard from above.
Yamanaka was startled, and raised the kunai in his hand as if he was launched, completely forgetting that there was a puppet in front of him who was eyeing him and could do it at any time.
In mid-air, a black-haired teenager sits on a tree branch, swinging freely in the air with his legs.
"You are ... , are you Itachi Uchiha? ”
He suddenly remembered something, and without waiting for Uchiha Itachi to answer, he hurriedly looked at the puppet in front of him.
"Don't look at it, the puppet's owner is dead. No one controls it, and no matter how powerful a puppet is, it's just a doll. ”
Uchiha said lightly.
"Whew... Thank you so much! ”
Yamanaka let out a long breath, his tense nerves finally relaxed.
"If your injuries are all right..."
Uchiha Itachi wanted to leave but was a little hesitant.
With the strength of Shanzhonghang, it is really impossible to survive here, but it is really unbearable to leave him alone in this dangerous rainforest.
"Well, if you can, can you please accompany me for another distance...
Yamanaka was busy dealing with the wounds on his body, and at the same time looked at Itachi Uchiha with a hopeful gaze,
"Two of my teammates are nearby, and if we find them, we'll be safe."
Seeing that Uchiha Itachi was a little hesitant, he hurriedly added,
"It's safer for the two of us to walk together than for you to walk alone."
"Really?"
Uchiha Itachi looked at Yamanaka with a smirk, but did not refuse his offer.
"Yes, huh?"
Shan Zhonghang heard the meaning of his words, and his face immediately turned red.
