Squatting down, Aoyagi looked at the footprints on the ground, well, although it looks like a dog's footprints, but the details are still a little lacking, this should be the traces of Shikamaru's forgery? Then the traces that have been covered up on the other side should be the path taken by Naruto and the others.

And in Chakra's perception, there were eight or nine people chasing behind him on the road Shikamaru walked, but he didn't feel the other chakras, could it be that Asma hadn't caught up yet?

Sensing that they had just been separated for a short time, they might as well go to Shikamaru's side first. I think it was to cover up and forge traces, and compared to Naruto, he was much closer to him.

As for the few shinobi who chased Shikamaru, as long as Shikamaru's shadow mimicry technique controlled them, it would not be difficult to kill them all. I have to say that this shadow mimicry technique is very powerful in immobilization, but the more powerful the person, the shorter the time he can control.

After hesitating for a while, Aoyagi continued on his way.

…………

Shortly after Yamato and the others met with Kakashi, Asma approached Kakashi with Hikinko on both hands, quickly wiping the neck of a few Shinobi who were in the way.

Blood poured out, and at the same time, the breath and strength of several otoshinobi disappeared, and their shocked expressions had already fallen to the ground before they could fade.

"Kakashi, Shikamaru is on a pursuit mission with Naruto?" Asma was a little anxious.

"That's right." The kunai in Kakashi's right hand gently slashed over the neck of Otoshibu in front of him, ending his pain.

"This is an A-class mission."

"You're right."

Asma's expression changed, and when she was about to speak, her voice came like a tide. Asma sped up the speed of his attack, and the blade of the wind-type chakra extended cut through the kunai, slicing the flesh and blood, and few people were able to retreat with their whole body in their passes.

Perhaps his record was too eye-catching, and soon the strongest of the enemies came to contain him.

With the flying swallow in his left hand, he cut off the incoming kunai, and Asma cut out, letting go of the ninja who had almost had his throat cut, and cautiously looking at the enemy in front of him.

Although he escaped for the time being, his arms had been severed by Asma, and he had lost his threat, and was lying on the ground rolling and wailing, smearing some bright colors on the stone steps.

In the terrible screams, the two disappeared in place at the same time, and the sound of weapons colliding sounded one after another.

………………

Sensing that he was much closer to the enemy in front of him, Aoyagi was more careful not to alarm the other party by making a sound.

A ninja hall is very cautious when he distances himself from the eight-person team in front of him.

Aoyagi keeps approaching

Well, they stopped. Aoyagi stopped, and went to the point where there was a chakra reaction in his perception.

Look, we've spotted an enemy, now let's sneak up on him from behind. Okay, he stopped, slowly approaching, and saw if he could get his head off directly.

A shinobi was crouching on a branch, and the tree he was standing on was a little far away from the other trees, so it was difficult to sneak close. Aoyagi thought for a moment and climbed the nearest tree.

Spotting the direction, Aoyagi pulled out his ninja sword, jumped lightly, flew down from a high place, and slashed at the neck of the ninja in front of him.

The sound ninja dragon suit seemed to be aware of it when Aoyagi flew down, and when he looked back, he found that a sword light fell from the sky, and his body moved subconsciously, and his hand reached behind his back to hook out kunai, and his body twisted, and with the power of his waist and abdomen, he hit the incoming blade.

Ding—Although he was deflected, the ninja knife still left a wound on his face, and the blood flowed profusely.

"It's not going to work." On the surface, Shikamaru, who had caught the eight shinobi with his shadow, was a little proud, showing a few branches that were closed together, "By the way, the dog's footprints are made of this." ”

The sound of a battle suddenly erupted from the canopy of a tree not far away, attracting Shikamaru's attention. When the few people who were caught by the shadow mimicry heard it, they all felt bad in their hearts, and some even broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that the dragon suit armor has been stopped, this is troublesome.

Shikamaru looked in the direction of the sound coming from, and two people had fallen from a tree over there, one was the injured Otoshinobi, and the other was a Konoha ninja about the same age as himself, Hayakawa Aoyagi.

Shikamaru quickly understood what was going on, and couldn't help but be very glad that the enemy had left a person behind to prevent accidents, but fortunately he was stopped by Aoyagi, otherwise he would be in danger.

Staring at the ninja with a hideous killing intent on the opposite side, Aoyagi didn't dare to be careless, this ninja was not injured much, if the raid just now could be successful, it would be much easier now.

I just learned to lurk, the technique of silent killing is still not good, and the wind brought up during the action is still too loud, and I will see if I can cover up this sound in the future, and there is also the sound of waving a knife.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Shikamaru Masa

"What are you doing in a daze, kill ......" Aoyagi only said a few words, and was entangled by the sound shinobi who saw the opportunity to pounce.

Hearing Aoyagi's reminder, Shikamaru turned his head to look at the several sound ninja in front of him, and picked up several shuriken in each hand, and under the drive of his arm, the shuriken flew accurately towards each sound ninja. Blood splashed, and the eight onninas who were chasing felt a pain in their throats, never expecting to die at the hands of a child at the same time.

If you make a wrong move, you will lose the whole game. Ninja fighting, that's sometimes it

On the other side, Aoyagi is wrestling with Otoshinobi. Although he only uses kunai, he has a slight disadvantage in weapons against Aoyagi, who uses a ninja sword, but the two are fighting back and forth, and to be precise, Aoyagi has fallen into a disadvantage.

Whenever Aoyagi's knife swung at the enemy's vital point, the enemy either dodged or resisted, and it was too late, so he put on a fighting style and attacked Aoyagi's vital point in turn, so that Aoyagi had to return the knife to save himself.

After coming and going, Aoyagi was constrained by this desperate style of play. On two or three occasions, the enemy's ninja almost slashed his neck or pierced his heart, and he couldn't use it because of his scruples, and Aoyagi slowly fell into disadvantage.

Once again, he shot down the shuriken that flew towards his neck, and Aoyagi took two steps back, widening the distance, before moving his somewhat sore arm slightly, and the enemy pounced again.

Gradually, he was able to adapt to the pressure and was able to face the enemy's attacks more calmly, and at the same time, Aoyagi also felt that he was more comfortable with the knife, and the experience and knowledge he learned in his usual training and the theory of swordsmanship were verified in this actual battle.

As these usual accumulations slowly merged, Aoyagi found that he had a deeper understanding of the specific details such as how to use a knife to deal with enemy attacks, how to use a knife to be faster, and parry became easier.

I was a little nervous and excited in my heart, and sure enough, the actual battle of life and death can force people to progress and make people know how to fight. There is a great terror between life and death, which is difficult to bring about in ordinary training, and it is also one of the reasons why actual combat can make people progress.

Just as Aoyagi was perking up and wanted to take this rare opportunity to hone his sword skills, the enemy suddenly stopped and his body trembled. The enemy stopped, but Aoyagi's knife that had already swung would not stop, and the sharp blade pierced the skin of the neck, severing the arteries, and the blood flowed like a stream.

Suffering such a fatal injury, the enemy only struggled violently, and when he was about to break free from control, his eyes turned black, his strength was loosened, and he lost his life.

A slender shadow was attached to the shadow of the dragon suit, and after his death, the shadow had retracted to its owner.

"Thanks, Shikamaru." Looking at Shikamaru, who was tired and collapsed, Aoyagi was a little grateful. After playing a difficult game, he also galloped all the way, and just now he used the shadow imitation technique to trap eight sound ninjas who were at least middle ninjas, and the chakra consumed a lot, and in the end, this ninjutsu should have been used by him desperately squeezing his body. Now his chakra should be exhausted.

"I'm just going to say thank you, if it weren't for you, I'd be in danger." With a chuckle, Shikamaru's whole body relaxed.
