Running in the woods, the five gradually moved away from the battlefield, and the sound of battle could no longer be heard at all, only the sound of wind and footsteps in their ears, and occasionally the sound of insects.

The five of them were all worried about the break. Facing a ninja alone, even if Qianli's strength is not weak, and the attack power is even more impressive, but there is a big gap in experience, ninjutsu, physical skills, etc., and there is more than luck.

If you don't have the help of the ninjas in the village, you can be seriously injured if you are lucky.

After continuing on his way for a while, Aoyagi sensed something strange and waved his hand for the other four to move on, standing in place, carefully perceiving the distance.

That's right, there is indeed a powerful chakra approaching. Although the perception is very vague because of the distance, there is no movement in the rear, and there is a sudden chakra fluctuation, which is very noticeable.

"You guys go first, I'm good at stealth, and I have a great advantage in the dark, at least I can protect myself and hold back the enemy. As long as it drags on for a while, the ninjas in the village should come to the rescue, and you don't have to worry about me. Aoyagi persuaded the other four to turn around, looking for a suitable place to meet them, as he thought quickly.

It's night, which is good for hiding yourself, and at the same time being in the dense forest, it's a good place to hide and lurk.

Now my biggest advantage is that the enemy is bright and dark, and I am not afraid of being attacked. If it is discovered, it will not last long if it is faced with the enemy.

Therefore, it should be on the premise of hiding himself, harassing him remotely, and he doesn't have to care if he causes harm, as long as he can be dragged down, the goal has been accomplished. In the base camp of Konoha Village, the longer it drags on, the more beneficial it will be to itself, and the more likely it is to get support.

Aoyagi set up a battle strategy and began to act.

Ninjutsu, the art of concealment.

After using a modified version of Concealment, Aoyagi's whole body turned into a shadow, and it was extremely difficult to see him in the night. At the same time, the sound of breathing, chakra fluctuations, smells, etc., are all subdued. If Aoyagi stays still, chances are he won't be able to spot him as he walks by.

Hurriedly clearing the trail as he returned, Aoyagi found a suitable spot for an ambush.

Squatting in the bushes, Aoyagi looked down at the sky, tonight there were many clouds, the sky was pitch black, there was no moonlight, and there were few stars, it was a good weather suitable for lurking.

He didn't have to wait long, the footsteps in his ears were getting louder and louder, and the leader had already caught up. Although I had expected that the situation would be bad, I still felt a little uncomfortable when I saw that it was the leader who caught up. Controlling his breathing, Aoyagi adjusted his mindset and prepared for battle.

Squinting to determine the speed and position of the leader, Aoyagi quickly sealed, earth escape, and rock pillar spear.

The ground in front of the leader suddenly cracked, and in the sound of shattering, a long sharp rock pillar emerged, crashing into his chest at a rapid pace.

With his eyes wide open, the leader's right foot cut diagonally to the ground, stopping the forward stance, and at the same time stomped his left leg to the left, and the whole person rushed out to the right, dodging the attack.

After dodging the attack, he stopped, and looked around carefully, but he did not feel the chakra fluctuations, and he did not find any trace of anyone. Is it hiding?

He thought for a moment and said, "Who is going to stop me this time?" The last imp who did this has already gone to hell, so desperate to reunite with him? ”

After waiting for a while, there was no movement, and the leader secretly said in his heart, he was quite calm, which was normal. With such a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, there are very few people who will rush out of the hot head. The imp who would do that was already lying on the ground, and it didn't seem to be of much use to the others.

The leader changed his words and wanted to lure Aoyagi to appear, even if he couldn't, he could hit the psychology and affect the state of the other party.

"Do you think that by sending someone to intercept me, you will be able to let the others escape? It's useless. No matter how you stop me, I'll find you and kill you one by one. Since the mission has failed, then I can only try my best to kill you students and consume Konoha's reserve strength. So, don't think I'm going to talk as well as I used to. Of course, if you are willing to take me hostage and let me get out of here safely, I can spare your life. ”

Hidden in the dark, Aoyagi observes secretly.

This person talks a lot, anyway, he is not in a hurry, he wants to drag it out and not act better.

The leader waited for a while, but there was still no movement, only the sound of insects chirping in the forest at night. Although there was no response, he was not surprised and took a new step. He plans to put on a posture of pursuit and force Aoyagi to attack. As long as Aoyagi continues to attack, he may reveal flaws and traces, and then he will be able to find Aoyagi who is hiding.

He didn't have to go long before three shurikens flew out of the woods behind him, and the sound of the flight was extremely low.

Found you!

Turning around to block the shuriken, the leader rushed into the woods where the shuriken flew out at full speed and searched wildly, and used fire to illuminate the surroundings, but there was no trace at all.

Slip away so fast, forget it, go catch the other imps first. Although the traces have been cleaned up, it is clearly in a hurry, and there are still some residues.

The leader cautiously examined the surrounding area, then searched for any remaining traces and chased forward.

After a while, there was still no interference, and the leader relaxed his guard a little and increased his speed.

Soil escape, earth flow wall

As soon as his right foot stepped on the ground, close to the leader's right thumb, the earth flow wall suddenly appeared. He stretched out his right hand and propped it on the wall to borrow force, slowing down the inertia of the forward rush, and at the same time, the right leg that had just stepped on the ground quickly turned the forward force into an upward force, and the whole person directly crossed the earth flow wall.

If he hadn't been careful and didn't rush at full speed, he might have crashed into the dirt flow wall.

Knocked down the shuriken that rushed to his chest in the air, and the leader's face was a little ugly: "Innocent! It's a little clever, but do you think that's going to stop me? I want to go, but you can't stop me. ”

Leveraging his strength on the earth flow wall, the leader jumped up the tree, stepped on the thick branches, and moved quickly.

Aoyagi looked at it and was a little anxious.

It's a pity that the only powerful long-range ninjutsu I've learned now is the Water Dragon Bullet, and there is no river here. Otherwise, threatening him with a bullet is likely to slow him down because of concern. Now you can only use the Detonator.

Judging from the situation when he first escaped, the enemy was basically entangled, and it is estimated that it is the limit to be able to run away from a leader, and there is no need to worry about fire and explosions that will attract enemies. This will only be a signal to attract Konoha ninjas. At the same time, if you're lucky, the Detonator can also deal some damage to enemies. Even if he can't, he can threaten the enemy and slow him down.
