The pins and needles could be heard on the field, and a gust of wind blew through it, bringing a sound of dust flying.

In the green treetops ahead, the young man's words stabbed everyone in the ears like a knife, and the people here lost the motivation to complain about the provocation.

Sword Shadow took advantage of this stall and continued, "Next, what you need is the people who guard both sides. Time is tight, and if after five minutes everyone still hasn't decided, let the battlefield decide who should defend the wings - of course, doing so will only make our rally pointless. Let's go! I'm going to get ready first. ”

It seemed that the content of the sentence jumped too much, and no one could react, until the sword shadow jumped to the ground and greeted the two people in his group that they knew that what the kid said was true.

"In that case, let the two who summoned us guard the wings." Someone immediately stepped forward to clear themselves and pulled Jayallah and Andrew's group to the fire.

Without mentioning how JayAllah and Andrew cope, Sword Shadow, who left the team and stood on the outer layer, was discussing with his teammates.

"Did we deal with those people? Sword Shadow, this is too reckless. Leaving the crowd, Aoi Xiang looked at the silent sword shadow and said.

Jian Ying shook his head helplessly, he didn't want to continue the topic: "Things have already happened, there is no value in discussing. Nagata, can you guarantee your physical strength? ”

"I didn't get hurt, I just didn't have enough time to rest. However, it can still be done in a short sprint. ”

Sword Shadow pondered, nodded and replied, "Wait until we leave." I will use my shadow clone to guard the surroundings, and I will try to resist enemies as much as possible. Guarantee our speed without affecting the passage of others. In the end, this time it is time to seize it, not only the people on the other side, but also on our side. Hmmm......"

He frowned slightly, stopped Aoi Xiang from opening her mouth with his eyes, and turned his head to look at a position behind him. There was a sand shinobi who slowly turned his head, "Have you been discovered?" This person didn't expect to be discovered by the other party just when he was about to eavesdrop, and his mind was suddenly in a mess.

"Sword Shadow, that person?" Nagata immediately understood what was going on, and looked at Jian Ying with some concern.

"Don't worry, I've been keeping an eye on my surroundings, and he didn't succeed. If he can eavesdrop on us under my surveillance, then this man's strength is by no means ordinary, and at least he can take us down. "After practicing the secret art of Master Luo Mingming for many years, Jian Ying is very confident in his spiritual power.

Nagata's face was serious, he knew what he was facing next, he didn't complain, and there was a passionate heart full of fighting spirit hidden under his honest expression. "If something happens, they abandon us..."

Aoi Xiang looked at Jian Ying with a little worry after hearing this, she knew that her strength could not help her teammates, and she was very likely to become a burden in the fierce battle, so she always wanted to take safe measures to ensure that she would not put herself in danger and not drag down the group during the journey.

Because she knew that if she was threatened, Nagata and Kenkage would definitely come to her rescue. Although she has been classmates with the two for so many years, she has only known them for less than ten months, but she knows the temperament of the two very well, and the two guys will inevitably act differently from the ninja concept for the obsession in their hearts.

Regarding Nagata's speculation, Jian Ying didn't want to comment, these people couldn't be trusted in the first place, so it didn't matter if they abandoned or not.

"The time is almost up, everyone check the equipment again, and don't find that the bits and pieces are not completed when you go into battle." Five minutes were approaching, and Sword Shadow looked back at the crowd still arguing in the green shade, and his gaze swept over the several groups who were also standing on the periphery with their hands folded and their faces indifferent. "These people are the most thoughtful, and I just hope it won't be a problem."

The groups that came into focus were only exposed, making everyone wary of them. Just like the shadow of the sword, if you find the enemy in the process of a while but don't come forward to resist, you will inevitably be besieged by everyone. Whatever the reason, breaking the previous agreement would mean betrayal, and the people who come here are not good men and women, and they don't mind stabbing someone in the back.

The result of the discussion was no surprise to the sword shadow, and after arguing with each other, the group of ninjas agreed that whoever was unlucky enough to be attacked by the enemy would stay behind to block the enemy. However, this does not include the Sword Shadow group, and no matter what situation they encounter on both sides, they always have to ensure that the arrow part is not affected.

The sun steam the desert hot, and the occasional hot wind can burn the skin if you are not careful, and the oasis is a barrier to the heat, but it is also more life-threatening than anywhere else.

In the desert, a group of people ran quickly, trying to break through the defense line as fast as possible.

Even ninjas, due to the different sizes of the villages, different backgrounds, and lack of resources, the strength of the same shinobi is very different, and even the endurance has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Some villages still adhere to the family-style way of rule, because the resources cannot be provided to all the clansmen, so they put people with middle and lower qualifications into a brutal combat environment, and use the method of raising cups to select suitable ninjas.

The dead do not take up the resources of the living, so they naturally concentrate more materials on the living, thus cultivating ninjas with strong combat ability.

The Blood Mist was a phenomenon that existed at that particular time. Because domestic funds were withdrawn by Xiao, the selection method of maintaining a high elimination rate was what Xiao (Obito) was willing to see, and it was also the result of ensuring combat effectiveness after the lack of funds.

These are the result of a lack of resources, and although the brutal elimination system has made the village have strong combat power, it has lost its cohesion. The breeding of a large number of rebellions has made those who are gradually accustomed to peacetime tired of this type of selection. Moreover, those who are eliminated are not not excellent, but their talents are in other places, and their cutting-edge combat power can gain the respect of a strong country, but they cannot become a strong country.

The number of ninjas who still maintain this method is very small, but there are always some families and even ninja villages that choose in this way. The difference is simply that the brutality is greatly reduced.

In the previous life, Sword Shadow had an easy-going temperament, and he was born ordinary with cowardice in his personality, but it was only because of his social experience that he gradually changed, and there was some hidden tyranny under his kind face.

He doesn't like that kind of self at all, and he suppresses his heart for life; He hated himself like that, wearing a mask all day long, trying to fit in with others as much as possible. The same is true in this life, with unknown hidden equipment, but it can't show strong strength, and it has the fierce combat power obtained by diligent cultivation, but it can't get an overwhelming victory.

Kenkage never considered "zero casualties" on the modern battlefield to be a boastful achievement, just like a ninja who went to the battlefield thousands of times and never got hurt.

But just now, watching more than a dozen groups of ninjas arguing over who would guard the flanks, he really wished that he had that kind of combat power and could make a final decision among them.

The attack came in an instant, and the speeding kunai turned into a black shadow, grazing the shoulder of the sword shadow and stabbing into the sky.

The moment he discovered Kunai, several shurikens flew towards the location where the attack appeared.

Fire Escape: The Technique of the Fireball.

The speed of the palm print in his hand was extremely fast, and the most lethal fire escape poured out from the mouth of the sword shadow.

"Boom ......"

Suddenly, the yellow sand was like an angry wave, flying to several feet. The sudden attack made the ninja who followed behind realize that they had encountered an enemy, and almost everyone who was close to the sword shadow took out their ninja equipment and gathered all their strength to throw it towards the place where it exploded.

Although there are ulterior motives, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. If the three of Sword Shadow were wasted here because of this little thing, it would be their loss. Moreover, the attackers this time can only be regarded as an additive, but they are just pawns sent by the enemy.

Nearly twenty people attacked at the same time, and the ninja may have thrown it in the wrong place, but it shocked the hidden ninja.

Just awkwardly avoiding the fireball, and encountering so many shurikens and kunai thrown by the full strength of each ninja, he struggled with all his might, but he was still stabbed by eight/nine ninja tools, and he fell into the desert without even screaming.

The sword shadow separated the shadow clone and rushed to the corpse, carefully investigated, and after confirming that there was no danger, he stepped forward to turn over the corpse, hoping to find something he was interested in from here.

"Didn't you...... Damn it. But this guy—" Sword Shadow squinted at the scars on the corpse, the torn parts of the corpse's clothes, to be exact.

"He's been attacked before, and it's even possible that the rest of his teammates are dead. Poor guy! "The analysis of the person behind came to my ears.

Jian Ying turned his head to look at the tall Shinobu who was standing behind him, and said, "This doesn't mean that this kid hasn't joined forces with them since then. ”

Hearing his words, Taki Shinobu raised his chin a little and agreed: "There is indeed a possibility." ”

With that, his body turned into a pile of dirt scattered on the sand.

The sword shadow's hands are knotted together, and the shadow doppelganger's technique is solved.

In front of the marching team, the sword shadow's expression changed slightly, and this scene was noticed by Nagata.

"Did you find anything?"

Thinking of the Taki shinobi just now, Jian Ying felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he said, "There is a troublesome person, I hope it won't be in our way." ”

"Trouble? Even you find it troublesome! ”

Jian Ying nodded, thinking back to the many candidates who had obtained the exam at the beginning, and said: "There are so many people, there will always be a few who are different, we and the ninjas of Konoha can't believe it, how can we expect others not to cause us trouble." And the strength of the Taki Ninja Village is still very strong in the ninja world. ”

He remembered the Taki Shinobu of the Akatsuki organization, Kakuto, the ninja who had fought against the original Hokage, a monster who was almost immortal.

An alien who sustains life by taking the hearts of others, and, Takishinobi Village is the only ninja village that is not a big country but has a tailed beast, even if the current Takishinobi fades out of most people's sight, as the middle and high-level of Ninja Village, no one dares to underestimate this mysterious village hidden in the waterfall.

Hearing this, Nagata nodded in agreement and sighed, "Yes, I used to think we were very powerful in the village. I didn't expect there to be so many powerful enemies. Now think about it, what is the strength of those legendary ninjas? ”

Looking at Nagata, who was emotional, and looking at the sword shadow with a solemn face, Aoi Xiang smiled and said with relief: "What are you anxious about." Besides, those who are better than you are older than you, and in a few years, don't you have the confidence to defeat them! ”

It's a pity that her relief didn't work, and Sword Shadow shook his head with a wry smile: "This is talent." My strength has fallen into a bottleneck, as long as I break through, I can make great strides, but now...... Don't talk about it. It's you Nagata, come on. The secret technique of your Autumn Dao clan is comparable to the existence of a tailed beast, work hard. ”

This kind of cheering made Nagata feel aggrieved, as if he said to a college student who had just become a village official, "Come on, you will soon be able to enter the State Council." From the mouths of those close to you, you can also see that it is not praise or disparagement, and what pops out of the mouths of ordinary friends is contempt and ridicule.

Using the technique of shadow clone, the cultivation intensity of Sword Shadow far exceeds that of his peers, but because the recovery speed can't keep up with the consumption, he has not been able to pull the high intensity. Although he has the Blood Essence Stone, this bit of recovery power now really makes it impossible for Sword Shadow to risk his life to cultivate.

The most important thing is that, as he said, the bottleneck of strength is still slow, no matter how much effort is spent.

This bottleneck is in terms of strength, including mental power, illusion, physical arts, ninjutsu, throwing techniques, and so on. Even in terms of throwing techniques, Jian Ying found that the hit rate began to drop the day before, but he didn't let others see the anxiety in his heart with a cold face all the time.

"This time, I have to find Teacher Kai or Teacher Luo Shenming to see what happened."

After advancing for nearly two kilometers, the sword shadow's face changed sharply, and he turned his head and shouted to the people behind him, "The enemy has come up." Prepare for defense and assault. ”

The art of multiple shadow clones!

More than a dozen white smoke curtains appeared on the side of the sword shadows, obscuring everyone's vision, and when the smoke disappeared, the front was already obscured by the backs of a group of sword shadows.

"Is this Konoha's unique shadow clone technique?" Those with insight immediately thought of several unique ninjutsu that existed in Konoha Village.

Over the years, the number of ninja families has become more and more known, and now the only things that can be passed down within the family are the various secret techniques and blood inheritance boundaries.

Like the Shadow Clone Technique, because it was created by the second generation, it has only been transmitted within Konoha until now, and the technique of multiple shadow clones is limited to its hidden danger, and few people dare to use it wantonly, and not many people use it into actual combat.

The clone quickly scattered, kunai in hand, and turned into a large net and scattered around, blocking anyone who tried to get close to it.

"Boom ......"

A shadow clone had only come a mile away, and there was a huge explosion in his location, and the explosion sounded three times in a row, and it seemed that the person who laid this trap did not want to rush here to live.

Unfortunately, the shadow clone spotted the other party early, and threw a piece of severed wood at the enemy's hiding location before the explosion sounded, and used the stand-in technique to reach the location of the severed wood when the explosion began. The sneak attack was not successful, but was sneak attacked, this person couldn't dodge, and was cut in the waist by the sword shadow.

This is just a microcosm of the battle, there were several attacks from 500 meters to 1,000 meters away from the team, and within a minute, the number of battles increased to more than a dozen, and even the shadow clone had three injured and returned to their bodies.

The signs of the end of the battle reminded the sword shadow and his party, and the final battle began.

The large number of battle locations made everyone nervous and reassuring at the same time, and the fact that the ambushers did not leave indicates that at least some of the attackers did not return to the village after getting the scrolls, but wanted to use this momentum to eliminate more competitors. Carrying the scroll but not going back to end the exam gave everyone more opportunities, and the eyes of several people in the team who were hiding their strength flashed brightly.
