Chapter XXXVIII

The sand dunes around the female puppeteer suddenly moved, and the light dust was a sign of it, and in less than a second, the speed of the flying sand particles increased dramatically - the sand dunes exploded, and the sand and dust blocked her vision.

She couldn't see the enemy, but her vigilance as a woman reminded her that she was in danger and that she was in danger of dying at any moment, but before she could make any more movements, four spears that came out of the dust fell into her eyes, and she could only watch as they pierced her body.

The shadow doppelganger technique is the ninjutsu that he is most familiar with, how can the sword shadow be left unused, plus the earth escape concealment technique that is not bad, it is not difficult to lurk around the enemy, not to mention that the strength of this enemy is not profound.

The impact of the spear was so powerful that it almost chiseled through the female puppeteer's body, and in an instant, her vital features disappeared.

With this achievement, Liu Sheng Sword Shadow's Blood Essence Stone has a little more energy, although it is only a little increase in energy, but at a value of forty-seven points, this half hundred energy points have raised the recovery speed of Sword Shadow to a point far beyond that of ordinary people.

From the first encounter to the first target, less than forty seconds passed. The doppelganger that Yunin released to test was easily solved by Nagata's fist, and this time he saw the puppeteer who simply killed Sand Shinobi's puppeteer, and his heart sprouted a retreat.

As long as you have this idea, regardless of whether the attack frequency remains the same or not, it will be slower than usual to seize the opportunity of the battle, and it is this little change that can make Aoika, who was suppressed just now, breathe a sigh of relief. She dodges an attack and takes advantage of the gap to jump back into Nagata's attack range to seek protection from her companions.

"Cyr!?" The male sand ninja named Yamami looked at his companion who fell in the distance, his eyes flashed with blood, he looked at the Konoha ninja who was running towards him, he didn't think about it, he put his hand on his waist, and unfolded the scroll there, and the white smoke appeared and disappeared in an instant, and Yamami had an iron hammer in his hand that was almost as tall as him.

"Drink!" He roared, gripped the hammer firmly with both hands, and rushed forward.

The leader of the sand ninja team, Dorchka, was able to dodge Nagata's giant fist, and after noticing his move, he raised his voice while dodging the opponent's next attack, "Come back." ”

But the mountain secret could no longer listen to any words, and in the sprint, he picked up the hammer against the oncoming sword shadow, and there were a large number of incantations burned on the hammer, and through the chakra effect poured into it, the raised iron hammer set off a gust of wind, which became bigger and bigger, and after a few seconds, there was the momentum of a huge wave of the river, and there was a kind of confidence that he vowed to smash the enemy in front of him into pulp.

In the face of the strong wind, Yanagi Sword Shadow used the technique of shadow clone.

Examining the chakra in his body, he only separated one shadow clone - the chakra recovered faster than ordinary people, the limit still existed, and he couldn't separate hundreds or thousands of shadow clones at a time like Naruto.

If he had a choice, Sword Shadow would use his shadow clone to drag the enemy and then attack with Fire Escape, but given the amount of chakra left in his body, this tempting plan had to be abandoned.

The two shadow clones walked side by side, waving their hands and shooting out kunai at the same time. The bitterness thrown by the sword shadow is powerful, and this is also understood by the rain ninja, including Dochka. Although Shanmi is irrational, he still knows that he can't underestimate the attack.

From the moment he threw out the kunai, Shan Mi mentioned twelve points of heart.

"Shwit."

The speed of the kunai was too fast, and even with all his might, the blade still added scars to his body, and the bloodstained clothes were red marks one after another.

Yamami endured the pain, and with the inertia of the sprint, he built up his strength in mid-air to prepare for the final blow.

"Mountain Dense !!" No matter how conceited and proud Dochka was, he couldn't watch his friend die, and the restlessness in his heart made him roar, hoping to use his voice to bring his teammates back to their senses.

Two meters in the air in front of the two sword shadows, the hammer was flying in front of him from behind, cutting a huge gray light in the air and advancing forward.

In a fraction of a second, the hammer crossed the gap between itself and the enemy, but just as it was about to hit the head of one of the sword shadows, the two people who were also in mid-air turned into a cloud of white mist with a "bang".

"Boom", the hammer slashed through the air, and the wind it carried tore apart the white smoke in an instant, and then Shan Mi saw what was left behind after the shadow clone disappeared - a burning explosion charm.

"Bastard ......"

"Boom."

When the explosion sounded, Dochka's expression was complicated, and Yushinobu had a frightened look on his face, but Nagata and Aoi Xiang were happy.

The sword shadow's attack was not over, although in the perception, the health characteristics of the big man were rapidly decreasing, but in order to prevent him from using the forbidden techniques used to save his life - such as molting, chrysalis or something, the sword shadow outside the explosion range threw two kunai and shot them at the mountain secret that was still in the smoke and dust.

After doing all this, Yanagi Sword Shadow moved his gaze to Dochka and the three rain ninjas, and said in a low voice, "Solve another one." ”

"Let's go." There is no need to talk nonsense in this situation, Rain Shinobi is very realistic, they took out a few explosive charms and threw them at the place of Sword Shadow and Nagata, Dochka took this opportunity to burrow into the desert, and when Sword Shadow rushed over, this person's Chakra was already a hundred meters away.

Yanagi Sword Shadow stood there, staring in the direction that Dochka had left, and he narrowed his eyes: "Sure enough, in order to preserve his strength, he actually watched his teammates die." ”

With the Chakra and extraordinary body skills that Dochka burst out, in the situation just now, not to mention that he would definitely be able to rescue people from Sword Shadow's men. But even though he was injured, he could still save the lives of the puppeteer and the guy with the hammer, but he made another choice......

"Yunin has already run away, Sword Shadow, let's keep up." Nagata walked over and pointed to the place where Yushinobu had left.

The sword shadow looked up and put his hand on his forehead to block the glare of the sun. Seeing that there was no movement in the direction that Yu Ren left, he closed his eyes, and only raised his eyelids after more than ten seconds, and said in a serious tone: "No, we have to follow them." ”

"Chase? But they had already ...... "Aoi couldn't figure out why she was chasing those people, and the way these people retreated was not on the same target as their destination."

Yanagi Kenkage shook his head and denied Aoika's words, he explained: "The battle ahead is even more intense, since we promised those guys that they will be at the front, once we can't fulfill our promise, these people will aim their blades at us, so there is no need to join in the fun, keep up with these three rain ninjas, you can avoid the troublesome section, if you are lucky, you may be able to complete the task." ”

Having said that, the shadow clone of Sword Shadow had killed a lot of people, but the scrolls collected from the dead were actually even numbered, so that he hadn't completed the task until now.

In this situation, even if they take Nagata and them to the gate of Sand Ninja Village, they will have to wait until their mission is completed before they can enter.

Led by Sword Shadow, who had good perception, the three of them began to start, heading in the direction where the rain shinobi had retreated.

The road to the village of Sand Ninja was full of battles, and in the midst of such chaos, the already unanimous raiders could no longer make up their previous promises, and they broke up one after another, taking advantage of the attackers' inattention to advance ahead.

The kunai shuriken drew a chaotic trajectory in the air, and everyone sweated on the battlefield of nearly three square kilometers, as well as blood with the temperature of the body cavity.

The sand carried by the sand escape was kneaded into a sand blade, floating in the air, turning into a murderous weapon; The rocks that rush out of the desert are like trucks traveling at tens of kilometers per hour, and if they come into contact with them, they will either die or be injured; The occasional flickering flame is also poisonous, and those who can avoid it are also flustered, and those who can't avoid it can only leave a carbonized body.

If you don't want to make meaningless temptations, the pace of ninja battles will be very fast, and this kind of melee situation naturally makes the belligerents have no time to tempt, and everyone has to devote twelve points of energy to deal with the belligerents and detect the hidden.

"Bastard. These guys...... What about the Konoha ones, where did they go? Laboriously killing a few ninjas, Jayallah returned to his companion panting.

An earthen wall rose from the sand, blocking the flying ninja equipment, Jay's hands trembled slightly, and in only five minutes, he consumed seven layers of chakra, and the next battle no longer allowed him to continue to perform ninjutsu. "Let's go. Go to the periphery. ”

Orr, who was wounded, followed the team with great difficulty, and the attack just now, if he was facing Jayara, he didn't need to use ninjutsu, and the reason why he did this was to take care of his companions on his side.

"We shouldn't trust that Konoha guy, that guy might have snuck to the front." Orr, who was seriously injured, was indignant, although he knew that the alliance was not solid, but how could he bear this breath when he saw the alliance fall apart and he was seriously injured.

“… Actually, we shouldn't have let him disappear from our sight just now, that guy-" Marimoto, who was dragging his embarrassed body, also had a dark face, and he looked at the scene, and the eleven squads that formed the alliance, including them, were only four intact.

The words of his companions did not bring any more fluctuation to Jayallah's heart, the reality could not be changed, and he was no longer able to engage in high-intensity combat.

If he doesn't die, the chances of meeting Sword Shadow in the future will be very slim.

Although everyone was injured, after observing the scene, Jayalla still felt lucky, unlike the different people who left with their whole body, Lin Shinobi, who was also the organizer of the alliance, that is, Andrew, the three, and now only Andrew as the team leader was left, and he was now fighting with a Konoha ninja.

The group that lost its teammates is trying to retreat, and the group with intact members does not want to continue because of the excessive consumption, in the end they just want to reduce the number of candidates who will advance to the next stage, not desperately.

Such a tragic battle will always produce people who are mentally disordered and have the mentality of "I can't get you and don't think about it".

"Hahahaha...... You think that if you kill us, you will be able to pass the next stage of the exam easily. Haha, that's ridiculous, do you know the conditions for passing the exam? One by one, all of them are idiots. ”

A ninja with three shuriken in his body was lying on the ground looking at the sky and laughing, "The promotion condition is 50% of the level." Even if there are only four teams to pass, only the first two will be taken - now, look at it now, there are still a few groups that are complete, can you meet the conditions? Can you? Hahahaha......"

The alliance side is all people who have been to the destination and completed the mission, and they know that they have lost the qualification for the promotion, so except for the team that is too unlucky or the strength is really poor, most of them are like Jayalla, dragging their tired bodies and leaving the battle circle with injuries.

Reminded by this mortally wounded and dying man, the sneak attackers on the battlefield turned their gaze behind them in the direction of Sand Ninja Village.

There, a few groups that had quietly advanced toward their goals in the chaos of the battle became the object of all hatred.

The team that doesn't lose any members of the group is the biggest winner in this battle, at least at this stage. But in the next moment, the clever group ushered in the most violent counterattack, and blood splattered on the land again.

Five or six kilometers away, the sword shadow plucked the kunai from Yushinobi's corpse, wiped the blood stains with the other party's clothes, and then jumped to the top of the sand dune, looking ahead, analyzing the perceived information in his mind.

Not far away, Aoi Xiang tightened the straps on her feet and buckled the two kunai on the outside of her thighs, so that she could easily access them at any time during a fierce battle.

"How's it going over there?"

"The battle is over, and the whole begins to advance towards its destination. I thought, if I don't hurry up, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to pass the exam. When he said this, anxiety also appeared on the face of Jian Ying, who had been keeping his heart still.

He didn't think that he would be brushed off in the first stage of the exam when he came to the Land of the Wind to take the middle ninja exam.

The three rain ninja did not receive the scroll on their bodies, which was prepared by the sword shadow since the fight with them. Obviously the strength is not enough, but I want to do no business.

"Shall we go over now?" Nagata knew the situation of the sword shadow, he and Aoi Xiang's mission had nothing to do with the battle, and the current situation was that there were fewer people who still had the scroll in their hands, and the sword shadow did not find the scroll he needed. "Maybe there is a missing ...... on the battlefield," Nagata cut off halfway through.

Others are so close to the village gate, and they still have to go behind their butts to eat ashes, can this pass the exam?

"Huh......" Sword Shadow let out a long breath, turned to Nagata and said, "Let's play the second biggest." ”

"Big?" Nagata and Aoika looked at the sword shadow with a strange smile in surprise.

…………

It was already three minutes later when Sword Shadow appeared in front of the group of ninjas advancing towards Sand Ninja Village, and Nagata and Aoika rushed to the battlefield where they had fought before, helping Sword Shadow find the missing scroll on the battlefield, and they agreed that whether they were found or not, they only had ten minutes, and they had to return after ten minutes.

And what Yanagi Kenkage has to do is to stop the ninja who is about to reach their destination as much as possible within ten minutes. The people who have already entered the Sand Ninja Village and are about to enter the Sand Ninja Village, he has no power to stop them, but these guys in front of him, no matter what the reason, must be stopped.

"It's you!!" Among the many ninjas who advanced forward, many of them were the previous alliance squads, and their own heavy casualties naturally needed a target to vent, and Kenkage, the convener of the alliance, was a good target.

There was only one person left in Andrew's group, and Jayalla's team had no strength to fight again, and Sword Shadow, when he appeared in front of people, retained a lot of strength.

They stared at the sword shadow, and the sword shadow looked at them as well, these people didn't stroll towards the Sand Ninja Village like an outing, leaving blood behind almost every step. It's just that at this moment, their combat goals have changed, and the lone wolves around them release their resentment on the group that still retains a full formation.

Regarding the appearance of the sword shadow, except for those who had seen him before, no one paid attention.

The lone ninja is full of thoughts about cutting a piece of meat from the team that has kept a full team of three, sometimes attacking and defending in a staggered manner, but there is no one around who can be trusted, and even if he attacks, he does not dare to turn over his hole cards.

Seeing that no one cared about him, not only did he not regard himself as a combat target, but he also ignored himself, and these were not over, and he actually thought about moving towards Sand Ninja Village.

For the former, Jian Ying was pleased, and for the latter, he could only make a move.

Yanagi Jianying understands that joining the battle will make a breakthrough in the resentment in everyone's hearts, and the biggest surprise is to attract everyone's attention to himself, Jianying is not a super strong, even if he is a master, he adheres to the principle that many ants can bite the elephant to death, and now he does not want to become the focus of hatred.

It's just that sometimes, people don't have a choice, even if there is a cliff in front of them, they can only jump down.

Fear, timidity, cowardice, anger, complaining, the emotions that ordinary people have ninjas will have, but compared to ordinary people, the requirements for ninjas to fluctuate emotionally are higher.

"Poof", a wave of sand splashed where the sword shadow stood, and his body leaned sideways, and his right leg was very strong, like an iron whip hitting the ninja who rushed through the sword shadow.

"You ......" Seeing his companion knocked to the ground, the ninja who was about to leap over the shadow of the sword and run forward slowed down and stopped to be on guard against the attacker.

In fact, the three of them had been wary of the people around them, but they didn't expect that Sword Shadow's attack would be so fast, and it would be able to break out at such a speed after the big battle, when the chakra was seriously consumed.
