"You're so confident, don't forget, this is Konoha." Hippo Hanyu said calmly, and at the same time motioned for Asma and Red to quickly approach him.

Although Hippo Hanyu didn't know this sand ninja, his rich combat experience and strong strength made this ninja in front of him definitely not something that the three lower ninjas could deal with, and the corpses of the two Konoha shinobi were the best proof.

Although Asma and Hong's strength is also the best among the lower ninjas, compared to the sand ninja, it is undoubtedly a death, so for Hippo Hanyu, the task is not to kill the sand ninja, but to protect Asma and Hong.

"Are you waiting for reinforcements? I'm afraid you won't have a chance to meet the other Konoha people anymore? Sand Shinobu pulled out an ugly black stick from his back, and he couldn't tell what it was made of.

"It's a 'robbery.'" Asma recognized it, worthy of being the son of three generations, and he was indeed not weak in terms of knowledge. There is no need for him to remind him, Hippo Hanyu has also recognized this stick, and the original owner of the stick, Sand Wasteland, he has also seen it, and Sand Wasteland still died in the hands of White Fang.

"Red, Asma, I'll hold him back later, and you go back to the village to find someone to support." It seems that it is not possible to move the real character, so Hippo Hanyu has to break the two of them before he can swing with all his strength.

"No, we will never leave our partners and run away." Asma immediately said, and after speaking, he took out the strangely shaped short knife he treasured from his arms, this knife was a gift from the third generation to his Shinobi graduation exam, and it had the property of absorbing chakra.

Hippo Hanyu looked at Asma who was posing as a man, and laughed for a while, and then looked at Hong's stubborn expression, and felt like he was cocooning himself.

"Alright! Red, I'll pester him in a while, you interfere with him with illusions, and Asma waits for the opportunity. Hanyu, the hippopotamus, who had no other choice, assigned a combat mission, "You guys be careful. ”

The hippo Hanyu who stepped out pulled out his weapon, a katana that looked ordinary, but don't be fooled by the appearance of the knife, this knife was bought by the hippo Hanyu at a large price from the craftsman, it looks blunt and bladeless, but it can maximize the power of the wind chakra, and it has the same effect as Asma's short knife. On top of that, the hilt is engraved with a modified version of the Five Elements Seal, capable of absorbing the opponent's chakra and storing it in the hilt.

The one-meter-long knife was held in front of the hippo Hanyu, and the sand forbearance glanced at the knife unremittingly, his eyes showed a fierce light, and a moment had come to the hippo Hanyu, and the iron rod smashed with a sound of breaking the sky.

Hippo Hanyu didn't fight hard, he stepped lightly, dodged the straight split, and slashed at the waist of the sand shinobi with his backhand. Sand Shinobi flipped back in the air, and the stick in his hand was lifted a little, aiming at the throat of Hippo Hanyu. Unfortunately, the length of the stick did not seem to be enough, and just as Red and Asma breathed a sigh of relief, the long black stick, which had been out of reach, suddenly became longer, and the tip of the stick became diamond-shaped and sharp, like a gun.

"Dangerous." Asma saw that Hanyu the hippo was in danger and was about to rush out to support, but was stopped by the red on the side.

"Wait, don't rush."

Hippo Hanyu smiled faintly, since he knew "robbery", he naturally had some understanding of its characteristics, and the hippo Hanyu, who had been prepared, easily avoided it.

However, the sand shinobi's attack was not over, and the hard long stick seemed to melt and turned into a soft whip, following closely behind Hippo Hanyu.

"Damn, that's too passive." The anger in the heart of Hippo Hanyu, who was chased and beaten by Sand Shinobi, was aroused, "Offense is the best defense. ”

The wind attribute chakra was injected into the knife, and the blade was immediately surrounded by white chakra, and the originally blunt and bladeless blade was also extremely sharp. The already flexible body was even more swung by him to the extreme.

"Quick, very fast." Asma commented in his heart that as far as he knew, the only people who could reach this level in physical skills were Akai's father, the genuine Blue Beast Azure Plains and the Moonlight Night Mist.

"How much strength is he still hiding?" This is Hong's inner thoughts, but she has heard some comments about Hippo Hanyu from her father, and knows that Hippo Hanyu has been hiding his strength since he was in Konoha School.

Hippo Hanyu's whole person is like a moving spinning top, constantly turning, looking like a knife wheel, and the sound of tinkling is endless. This burst of strong attacks seems to be fierce, but Hippo Hanyu knows that the effect is not good, "robbery" is worthy of being a famous divine soldier, and under the continuous chopping, there is only a scratch.

"Sure enough, physical skills are still one of my worst." Hippo Hanyu muttered, in fact, this is not to blame him, he is still a child, and his body has not yet swung to the best state, so he is light but lacks strength. And the power contained in the two-meter-tall tower-like body of the sand ninja is terrifying.

Hippo Hanyu This is to fight the opponent's strength with his own weakness, if it weren't for his strong knife, I'm afraid that it would have collapsed at this moment, and Hippo Hanyu, who felt that his physical strength was declining rapidly, knew that he couldn't go on like this, otherwise the lives of the three would have to be explained here.

"Thunder Escape-Ling Thunder Slash." Hippo Hanyu had to use Konoha White Fang's trick, and a large number of thunderous chakras gathered on the knife, like an electric dragon entwined. The knife was slashed out, clean and neat, and the electricity passed along the black stick to Sand Shinobi's hand, like a lightning strike, Sand Ninja hurriedly retreated.

The tip of the knife that had not disappeared fell to the ground, and the ground suddenly scorched sideways, and the crack in front of the blade, which was one meter deep and half a meter wide, continued forward, about ten times long.

"Awesome." Asma and the corners of Hong's mouth**, spit out these two subs.

Sand Ninja took advantage of the opportunity to fly in the rocks, and he had already hidden, and lurking was a compulsory course for Ninja, and that Sand Ninja's mind and strength were obviously proportional to his size, and he didn't become the legendary stupid big man.

"Whoever said that the limbs reach the mind, it must be simple." Hippo Hanyu scolded.

Hippo Hanyu does not have the white eyes of the Hyuga family and the writing wheel eyes of the Uchiha family, who can see through the blood limit of all obstacles, but he also has his own magic weapon, as soon as his eyes are closed, the range of 100 meters in diameter is under his induction.

"Be careful." Hippo Hanyu pounced on Asma and Hong, holding the two of them between his hands, and continued to be several meters away.

A black vine came out of the ground where the two were standing just now, and after the two were rescued by the hippo Hanyu, they immediately retreated back to the ground, and there was no trace of them.

"I didn't expect that 'quitting killing' can be used like this, it seems that the previous barren rock did not use its full effect, and the person in front of him used it far more than before." Hippo Hanyu was carefully guarded.

"Hey-" Hong's face turned into a flush, and he said, "Can you let me go?" ”

Hippo Hanyu was stunned, and it took him a long time to react that his hand was actually pressed on Hong's chest, and he quickly let go: "It's still the airport!" If Hong knew what Hippo Hanyu was thinking at the moment, he was afraid that he would jump up and slap him.

The three branches flew out of the grass, Han Yu split it with a knife, and the next moment, the person had already appeared next to the sand ninja hiding in the grass, and with a stab, he pierced the sand ninja's chest.

"Dirt clones." Hippo Hanyu's face immediately changed, and he turned the tiger away from the mountain, and he fell into the scheme.

"Ahh Red's cry came, and the last thing he wanted to see was born, Red and Asma were tightly tied up by the sand ninja with a "robbery and killing", and the sand ninja stood behind the two with a sinister face, and the sand ninja who had lost his mask because of the battle just now revealed a hideous and terrifying face, and a big "X" shaped knife wound was particularly eye-catching, centered on the nose, extending to the corners of the mouth and eyes.

"Boy, put down your knife." It seems that Sand Shinobi still has some scruples about Hippo Hanyu's knife skills.

"Don't." Red screamed.

"Shut up." With the angry reprimand of the sand ninja, some thorns immediately grew and pierced into the skin of the two, and for a while, a little scarlet was printed on the clothes of the two, looking at the painful expressions of the two, Hippo Hanyu's eyes narrowed, and he threw the knife in his hand aside, seeing that the red was about to speak again, he stopped first: "Shut up." ”

Hong, who was already very uncomfortable, saw Hippo Hanyu treat him so viciously, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved, tears swirled in his eyes, his white teeth bit his lip tightly, and the two little tiger teeth were exposed outside, very cute, but in the eyes of Hippo Hanyu, there was only pity left.

Han Yu, the hippopotamus, who felt that his tone was a little heavier, nodded at the two of them, signaled them to be restless, and said to Sha Shinobi: "I have put down the knife, what do you want?" ”

"What, aren't you arrogant?"

Hippo Hanyu looked at the eyes of the sand ninja, and the concentration of mental power was rare, "Ninja - hypnosis." ”

Hypnosis is a ninjutsu commonly used by Konoha medical ninja, but the use of this hypnotism requires the cooperation of the other party, if the other party does not cooperate, and when the strength is strong, it can only make people dizzy for a moment, and it cannot have the effect of complete hypnosis.

Fortunately, what Hippo Hanyu wanted was just this moment of time, teleporting to Sand Ninja's side, and if there was no stab in his hand to Sand Ninja's heart, blood flowed down Ruowu. Han Yu, the hippopotamus who was relieved, looked back at Hong, but saw that Hong's eyes showed a look of horror and worry, and he was alert in his heart, "Stand-in technique." ”

The next moment, the piece of wood that was the stand-in for Hippo Hanyu shattered into powder, and Sand Shinobi blew the leaves on his hand, looking at Hippo Hanyu's gaze with a little more appreciation.

"I've been guarding against you for a long time," Sa Shinobu seems to have treated Hippo Hanyu as an opponent rather than a child, which is definitely not good news for Hippo Hanyu, which also means that if he wants to save people, it will be even more difficult.

The "robbery" must be taken, otherwise the lives of Red and Asma will be in his hands, what to do.

Yin-Wei-Yin-Noon, "Illusion-Essence of Illusory Fire" completed this technique in less than a second for Hippo Hanyu, the raging fire spread rapidly, and the four of them were surrounded by fire, and Hippo Hanyu's mournful voice sounded, "Since I can't save them, don't want to leave alive, let's die together!" Ha--, hahaha-"

And some of the surrounding trees burned under the fire escape technique of Hippo Hanyu, with the illusion, this real and false fire gave people the feeling that it was so real, and even the red didn't notice it. The scorching flames scorched everyone, and the sand shinobi, who was the main target of the attack, felt as if his hand holding the stick was scorched, and let go of the "robbery" in his hand.

After losing Chakra's control, the "robbery" automatically reverted to the ugly black stick, and the hippo Hanyu rescued the red and hippo Hanyu who were trapped in the illusion, and shouted, "Solution! ”

The fire disappeared suddenly, and only a few trees around it were still burning, constantly emitting smoke.

As Hippo Hanyu unlocked the illusion, Sand Shinobi was also freed from the illusion fire, and his smoky and blackened face became even more ugly and terrifying.

"Multi-sand shuriken." Sand Shinobi decided that Hippo Hanyu didn't dare to let go of Red and Asma easily, and began to use a wide range of attack ninjutsu: "Earth Escape - Rock Thorn." ”

Hippo Hanyu carried the two of them left and right to dodge the sand shuriken that flew like locusts, and a large number of stone thorns suddenly grew on the ground, and one would be pierced if he was not careful.

"Hmm!" Hippo Hanyu snorted, just now, he was careless, he had already been hit by two sand shurikens, and his movement was somewhat restricted.

"Put me down." Asma shouted when she saw that Hanyu the hippo was injured.

Hippo Hanyu originally wanted to refuse, but looking at his resolute demeanor, he knew that if he didn't let him down, he was afraid that it would seriously hit his self-esteem.

Although Asma was also injured, it did not have a great impact on the action, and while he dodged the sand shuriken, he also kept shooting the shuriken himself to fight back, and sometimes even did not hesitate to exchange the wound for an opportunity, which was a fatal way to play.

"Illusion - Nai's Burning Technique." With Hippo Hanyu helping her resist those hidden weapons and dangers, Red concentrates on using all of her chakra to perform this illusion that she has only learned and has not yet mastered.

"It worked." Seeing Sand Shinobi standing there, his eyes glazed out, Red cried out happily.

"This is the time." Without waiting for the hippo Hanyu to remind, Asma rushed over, and the sharp short knife in his hand slashed through the neck of the sand ninja, and this time, the sand ninja finally died.

The three of them glanced at each other, this was the first stop for Red and Asma in the true sense, and it was quite good to have today's performance. And after today's battle, the tactical cooperation of the three is more proficient.

Hippo Hanyu believes that after today, the combat experience of Red and Asma will be greatly improved, and Hachiki Sakumo is not wrong: "Shinobi will only grow after the test of life and death." ”
