"Thank you."

From the mouth of the dried persimmon ghost shark, it was difficult to squeeze out two words. It was evident that he rarely had the opportunity to say these two words to people.

"But I'd like to see it. Rest assured, I won't act recklessly, and I don't want to give away my life easily. ”

He smiled faintly, the smile on his face pale but sincere.

Yamanaka looked at Nara Shikatomo with expectant eyes, and personally, he wanted to go with the dried persimmon oni shark to see if he could rescue Uchiha Itachi.

But he also knew that he couldn't drag two of his teammates into the water on impulse. After all, counting the Uchiha Itachi, whose life and death are unknown, there are only five people on his side, including a wounded person from the dried persimmon ghost shark.

He hoped that Nara, who was the leader of the team, would make this decision. With the calmness and wisdom of Nara Shikatomo, it is natural to make the most appropriate choice.

His slightly lit eyes quickly dimmed, as Nara Shikayu quickly made a decision.

"I'm sorry. I appreciate your courage, but I can't risk losing an entire squad for the sake of one person. So I can only wish you the best of luck ... ”

Nara Shikatomo had a deep apology on his face.

"Then be careful."

The dried persimmon ghost shark simply left, without the slightest bit of mud and water, not like going to death, but more like going to an old friend's date.

"Deer friends. Even if you can't accompany him to save Uchiha Itachi, you should stop him from leaving alone, with his injuries, it's like sending him to death. ”

Yamanaka looked at the back of the dried persimmon ghost shark, looking very depressed.

"I can't stop it. We hurried off to find the Hyuga team. Gather everyone and then find a way to save Uchiha Itachi. ”

Nara's face showed a rare anxious look.

。。。。。。。。

Itachi Uchiha returns to the spot where he encountered Rey's team faster than he came.

Following the little traces left by the dried persimmon ghost shark and the residual bloody breath in the air, he found the place where the dried persimmon ghost shark almost died.

Above the ground that was originally overgrown with shrubs was a ravine about half a meter wide.

A misty ninja's forehead guard lay alone at the end of the shallow ditch, as if waiting for his arrival.

Extreme disappointment enveloped his body, followed by irrepressible anger.

The dried persimmon ghost shark is dead!

I actually let the dried persimmon ghost shark die like this?

The man I can trust with my life, the persimmon ghost shark, I just let him die in this damn rainforest.

He questioned himself over and over again.

Intense guilt and extreme anger almost destroyed his sanity, and red chakras began to overflow from every pore of his body.

"Since the dried persimmon ghost shark is dead. Then you will have to pay the same price. ”

He spun around and slammed headfirst into the dim air.

。。。。。。。。

The fifth day of the Natsunin exam.

As if dissatisfied with the killing in the forest, the black sky relentlessly pressed down on the ground, turning the day into night.

The torrential rain poured down, washing every inch of the land with great force.

The thick foliage could not stop the wrath of the sky, and the rain broke through all obstacles, pulling out heavy rain curtains in the forest.

While the "whooshing" rain drenched the ground, it also extinguished the enthusiasm of many people.

At this moment, the hearts of all Yun Shinobi, including Rey, were full of frustration.

A team of more than a dozen people, chasing and killing a Konoha shinobi, only killed a shadow clone in the end.

And the Uchiha Itachi's body was like air, disappearing silently in front of so many people's eyes.

The three cloud ninja teams were in a group, all with gloomy faces, unable to even speak.

Farther away, the ninjas of the Rock Ninja and the Fog Ninja all looked like they were schadenfreude, but considering that there were many people in the cloud ninja at the moment, they didn't dare to show it too obviously.

At this time, they did not know that death had begun to approach them.

。。。。。。。。

Uchiha Itachi stood at the top of an ancient tree tens of meters high, overlooking the rainforest below.

The rain could block the sight of others, but it couldn't stop his blood-red eyes, which seemed to come from hell.

The world in his eyes was scarlet, and more than a dozen red shadows were sitting or standing, resting in the forest below.

And a ninja in the center, almost red like a burning pillar of fire, eclipsed the figures around him.

That Yun Ren is very strong...

The Uchiha Itachi forced himself to calm down, not letting the anger in his heart cloud his judgment.

If you want to attack that group of people, the Iwa Shinobi and Fog Ninja on the periphery are the better choices.

He slid down the trunk of the tree like a drop of water, merging with the rain curtain around him.

In the almost dark woods, a ghostly figure stepped through the wind and rain, about to bring death to Yun Ren and his party.

A bolt of lightning split the sky in half.

"Boom" thunder rolled in, and the earth and sky trembled in horror.

"Who?"

One of the Iwa shinobi sensed something strange on his side and shouted loudly.

The rest of his words were stuck in his throat, and a stalk of kunai pierced out of the darkness and slipped away like a breeze.

Iwashinobi's eyes widened, trying in vain to catch that shadow in the darkness.

However, his efforts were ultimately in vain.

The rain "snapped" on his body, and red blood fell mixed with the rain.

Then there was the sound of Iwa Shinobi's body hitting the ground.

"What's going on?"

Rey was the first to rush to Iwa Shinobi's side.

No one answered his question, only a corpse with body temperature still with its eyes wide open, lying in the rain.

"Every single one of you will die. And that's just the first ... ”

There was a chuckle in the darkness.

For a moment, everyone was cold.

"Who is it?"

Rey roared into the depths of the darkness.

He was answered with a scream.

In the other direction, a misty ninja fell in response.

Although he had been prepared, the whole battle lasted less than a second.

Darkness is the natural enemy of all ninjas, but for Uchiha Itachi, darkness is the best friend.

With the eyes of the writing wheel, he is like a fish in water when he sneaks up in the dark.

"It's Itachi Uchiha."

Rey looked at the two red dots that had disappeared into the forest, goosebumps all over his body from the threat of death.

"Everybody gets together, he's only one person...

He shouted.

In an instant, everyone moved, and more than a dozen ninjas were close together, guarding against attacks that might come at any time.

"Who's next?"

The chuckle rang out again, drifting in the bleak wind and rain, as if mocking the ninjas who were like frightened birds.

The threat of death enveloped the body and mind of every ninja like the dark sky overhead.
