"Ahh

In the forest, there was a scream that frightened the birds.

Sasuke looked at the Konoha ninja who fell to the ground with a blank expression, there were three people in total.

Everyone is a middle ninja, and although it is inevitable to waste a little time when encountering these people, Sasuke still defeats the three middle ninja with a devastating posture.

The eyes of the writing wheel were still burning, as if they were burning in a blazing fire.

The electricity on his body disappeared without a trace at once, avoiding wasting chakra in such a place.

As for why he was intercepted by these three Konoha Shinobi, the reason is also very simple, they were originally patrolling this area, and suddenly saw him rushing from the direction of the village.

In the current eerie atmosphere of the village, the task delegation system can basically be said to be paralyzed.

A ninja like Sasuke who stayed in the village would naturally be intercepted and questioned if he entered the patrol area without the documents approved by the Hokage.

But in order to save time, Sasuke directly attacked the three of them when they asked, instantly defeating one person, injuring one person, and then quickly attacking the third person.

Otherwise, if you want to fight normally with the three of you, you will win in the end, but in that case, you will inevitably waste more time and chakra.

With the road ahead uncertain, he had to save his time and chakra.

The news of his departure from Konoha has not yet been conveyed here.

It is completely possible to take advantage of this time difference to carry out a sneak attack on the Konoha ninjas in the patrol area.

After defeating the trio, Sasuke jumped onto the branches of the trees without looking back, sped forward, and disappeared from the trees in the blink of an eye.

For these three Konoha ninjas, he didn't kill them, he just beat them to serious injuries and just stopped them.

After some time, another group of people passed by.

It was Naruto, Shikamaru and the others who were chasing Sasuke, and when they saw the three Konoha ninjas lying in the clearing, they immediately jumped down from the trunk.

Seeing the dying posture of these three Konoha ninjas, they were all shocked.

One of them also had an electric current on his body, causing his body to twitch slightly, and his mouth leaked out of a soft moan of pain.

"Sasuke, that guy really gave me a problem......

Shikamaru has a feeling that he wants to laugh but can't.

Deliberately beating people in this posture did not take their lives, but if they were not treated in time, they could lead to the death of three people on the way home.

Judging from the extent of the injuries of these three people, Shikamaru is sure that Sasuke did it on purpose, controlling the injuries of the three Konoha ninjas to the point that they would die if they were not treated in time.

Whether it is pursuit, or stranded.

That's a problem Sasuke gave them.

"Sakura-chan, Shino, you two stay. The rest continued the pursuit. ”

For Shikamaru's order, although Sakura is unwilling, she also knows that she needs her own help here.

As a medical ninja, she could see at a glance that these three Konoha ninjas were seriously injured and dying, and they had to be treated in time, and if they delayed, their lives would definitely be in danger.

While the pursuit of Sasuke is important, it is equally important for Sakura to heal his companion's injuries.

Sakura took a deep breath, nodded seriously at Shikamaru, and said, "I understand." Still, promise me to bring Sasuke back! ”

"Don't worry, we'll definitely bring Sasuke back, Sakura, you'll be here to help."

Naruto pressed his thumb to his chest and replied as if he had sworn an oath, his tone full of determination and confidence.

"Then please."

As if she was also infected by Naruto's belief, Sakura smiled.

"Without further ado, let's go."

Shikamaru nodded, did not hesitate, and ran out first.

Naruto, Ya, Dingji, and Hinata followed.

Looking at their departing backs, Sakura's eyes flashed with worry.

Her instincts told her that it wasn't easy to bring Sasuke back.

"Let's get to work too."

Shino said on the side.

"Actually, Shino, you don't have to stay......"

In Sakura's opinion, one more person means more power. With Shino joining, it is more likely to bring Sasuke back.

"No, I need my help more here. My parasite has detection, defense, and simple healing abilities that can help Sakura in your work. And, while we are not sure whether Sasuke will continue to attack the rest of the Konoha ninjas, it is also our job to deliberately leave the wounded for us, and to find and treat them. In this way, the parasite's reconnaissance ability will also come in handy. ”

Shino head is the Tao analysis.

"Could it be that Shikamaru ......?"

"Well, I guess it was because I thought of this level that Shikamaru deliberately let the two of us stay together. There are Hinata and Tooth in the team, and they promise not to lose Sasuke. Shikamaru and Dingji, as well as Naruto, the three of them have had a good relationship since childhood, and there will be no obvious problems in the coordination of attacks. Defeating Sasuke and bringing him back won't be too difficult. ”

This is a reasonable team allocation.

"Really? I didn't expect Shikamaru to come up with such a good strategy in a short period of time......"

Sakura sighed a little.

While quickly taking out the portable medical kit from the ninja bag, he began to heal the three seriously injured Konoha ninjas.

"Mentally speaking, he's a better ninja than me."

Shino said this flatly, which also means that he recognizes Shikamaru's command.

The only flaw is that among the members who followed Shikamaru in the past, they lost important medical ninjas, which is considered a flaw.

However, in the case of incomplete staffing, it can only be arranged in this way.

If it drags mud and water, it will only open up a greater distance from Sasuke, allowing Sasuke to successfully escape the pursuit.

◎

Taking advantage of the time difference in information again, Sasuke successfully attacked a team of mid-ninjas.

Severely injured them and dumped them on the side of the road to delay Shikamaru and the others from chasing him.

Although Sasuke has also considered making traps to further extend the pursuit time of Naruto and Shikamaru, but considering that there is still Hinata in the team, the trap he made in three minutes is afraid that it will only take a few seconds for people to crack it, or take a detour directly, no matter what he does, it will save more time than him.

Doing so is a waste of time and energy, and it's thankless.

Just as Sasuke was thinking like this, suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air in front of him.

The kunai flew from the front, no doubt aimed at his body.

Sasuke also took out the kunai from his ninja bag and easily bounced the flying kunai away.

But also because he wanted to block the kunai, Sasuke's body fell to the ground from mid-air, his eyes fixed on the front.

From behind the trees, Shikamaru walked out of there.

Seeing Shikamaru appear here, Sasuke's face was slightly surprised.

"It seems that the wounded didn't hold you back."

"Although that did cause me a lot of trouble, don't think that after becoming a middle ninja, you will think that I am standing still."

Shikamaru said with a smile.

"Really? However, what is the purpose of your relentless pursuit? ”

Sasuke asked.

"Maybe it's because of the friendship between companions, maybe it's ......" Shikamaru said this, the smile on his face disappeared and became much more solemn: "...... Fulfill the duties of a Konoha ninja. ”

"What is the duty of a Konoha ninja? I've overestimated you as much as I can, but in the end I'm underestimating you. In a way, your level of trouble is only a cut below Naruto's. ”

Regarding Sasuke's words, Shikamaru's face remained unchanged and said:

"Then come back with me, Sasuke. What you are now on is a path of no return. And Danzo has lost ground, and the village will soon have a new Hokage, and we will all help you. ”

"No, there's nothing left to be nostalgic for that kind of place."

"It's not like what you're supposed to say."

"Don't say you know me very well. Get out of the way, this time, I won't show mercy. ”

Sasuke stared coldly at Shikamaru in front of him with his writing wheel eyes.

"Is it so ruthless? Then I have to use a rough means to bring you back. ”

After saying that, Shikamaru quickly sealed.

However, the moment he sealed, Sasuke disappeared from front of him.

Such a speed, which is difficult to find with the naked eye, made Shikamaru's face appear shocked.

The hand knife slashed at the back of Shikamaru's head with unmistakable precision.

Shikamaru's body tilted suddenly, and his head smashed towards the ground.

Bang!

Before he landed, Shikamaru's body directly turned into a cloud of white smoke and dissipated.

Sasuke's face changed slightly, realizing that it was a trap.

He looked up, and a ball flew above his head.

A blinding light burst out of the orb, turning Sasuke's eyes into a white world.

The shadows on the ground began to widen dramatically.

In just an instant, Sasuke's body stiffened and couldn't move.

Because the eyes were so stinging, they had to close their eyes.

When I opened it, it was still a green patch, and it took a few seconds for it to gradually return to normal.

However, when he saw what was in front of him, his face became gloomy.

About ten meters in front of him, Shikamaru maintained the posture of the seal, and a slender shadow stretched out on the ground, eroding into his shadow, achieving the control conditions of the arcane art.

Beside him, Naruto, Tooth, Dingji, and Hinata stood separately.

"I'm sorry, I'm a general, Sasuke."

Looking at Sasuke, who was controlled by himself, Shikamaru had a faint smile on his face.

Sasuke smiled with an ugly face, "I see, the guy just now is an impostor that Naruto turned into with a shadow clone, right?" I should have thought of that earlier. After that, I used a flashbang to increase the length and area of the shadow, and I could be controlled instantaneously from that distance......

The strategy was linked one after another, and although it was rough in some places, Sasuke was still impressed by Shikamaru's mind at the thought that it might be a makeshift strategy.

Looking at Shikamaru's eyes, there was also a hint of caution.

"It's over. To be honest, I don't really like to deceive my peers in this way, provided you're still a companion. ”

Shikamaru's wording is very ambiguous.

The rest of the people may seem to be puzzled, but Sasuke clearly perceives Shikamaru's true intentions.

When you are sure that you are still a companion, you will take him away and help him in your own way.

After making sure that he is not a companion, even if he brings back his body, he will not be allowed to leave.

Trouble guy. Sasuke said secretly.

It looks like a lazy one, but the situation turns out to be clearer than anyone else.

If it weren't for the lack of luck during the middle ninja exam, it might be the same as him, and it would also be a middle ninja.

Shikamaru's ability, in Sasuke's opinion, is trickier than many chushinobi.

"Yes, Sasuke, if you have something unspeakable, you can say it, and we'll figure it out together."

Naruto stepped forward as well.

"Do you really want to help me, Naruto?"

Sasuke said suddenly.

Shikamaru frowned, feeling that Sasuke was not such an easy person to change his beliefs, and he was wary.

"Of course, we're good friends, aren't we?"

Naruto's sincere words made Sasuke grin and smile:

"In that case, then, go and help me kill all the Konoha high-level leaders, including the third Hokage! If you can do that, I'll go back with you and continue to be a Konoha ninja. ”

The smile was cold.

"Huh?"

Naruto's face froze.

"What? Does this make you very difficult? It seems that the friendship between us is nothing more than that. We keep saying that we are good friends, but that's all there is to it. I can't kill a few people for me, is this a good friend? ”

Sasuke sneered.

"You are! How could anyone make such a request? Are you really the Sasuke I know? ”

Naruto looked at Sasuke incomprehensibly, in his opinion, Sasuke's conditions were simply difficult for a strong man, deliberately making things difficult for him.

"Of course I'm Sasuke Uchiha! And it's the brand new Sasuke Uchiha! ”

After Sasuke said this, a flaming pattern spread from the back of his neck, first to his neck, then to his face, then to his body and arms.

Attempting to occupy Sasuke's entire body.

Purple chakra erupted from Sasuke's body.

The flame mark made Sasuke feel almost scorching and stinging, but Sasuke stubbornly restrained the pain.

Eventually, the color of the flame faded into a mysterious and eerie pitch-black color.

"Oops!"

Shikamaru's body trembled, and a huge shock force was transmitted back through the shadow, making his sealed hands almost bounce off and forced to untie the seal.

It's just that as the chakra leaking out of Sasuke's body gets stronger and stronger, even if more chakra is injected, Shikamaru is still sweating profusely and maintaining control.

"Hurry up and interrupt him! I can't hold it anymore! ”

Accompanied by Shikamaru's scream, Ding Ji was the first to react.

With a slap of his hands, he refined the yang attribute chakra in his body, and in an instant, his body turned into a huge ball of flesh, aiming in Sasuke's direction, telling the spin to run up.

"Meat Bullet Chariot!"

Along the way, there is a track that Ding Ci crushed with the power of a meat bullet chariot.

Even boulders can be ground into shattering power, and you can imagine what kind of damage will be caused after hitting the human body.

Although the body of a ninja has an extremely high ability to resist blows, if it is directly hit by this level of force, no matter how strong the ability to resist blows, it is inevitable that he will not be seriously injured.

Rumble!

Under Shikamaru's control, Sasuke can't dodge.

The ground cracked, and Ding Ji stopped spinning his body, only to see Sasuke raise his hands with difficulty, blocking Ding Ji's attack and avoiding the fate of being directly hit in his body.

But because of this, Sasuke felt that his hands were about to lose sensation and his bones crackled.

"Now it's my turn."

As Sasuke said this, Ding Ji suddenly felt bad and wanted to evacuate.

The roar of thunder and lightning resounded in the forest.

Intense electricity was released from Sasuke's hands, covering Dingji's body and catapulting his body, which had turned into a giant ball of flesh.

Subsequently, Sasuke quickly sealed.

Although the action seems to be very reluctant, it is still possible to complete the abbreviated Indian style in the shortest possible time.

"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"

In order to ensure the size of the fireball's range, as well as the speed of its impact, Sasuke injected more chakras than usual, intensifying the fireball's attack power.

Sure enough, seeing such a big fireball coming, Shikamaru and the others didn't think about it, and directly chose to dodge.

Feeling his body loosen, Sasuke knew that Shikamaru had lifted the ninjutsu.

"Why did you remove ninjutsu?"

Naruto asked, puzzled.

"It's a waste of chakra and stamina to stay in that state all the time. I need to rest. ”

After speaking, Shikamaru directly took out a soldier food pill from his ninja bag and stuffed it into his mouth.

He also didn't expect that just controlling Sasuke for so little time would consume such a huge amount of chakra and physical strength.

Is it because the writing wheel has evolved again? Seeing Sasuke's chakra eyes flashing in the form of a three-hooked jade, Shikamaru couldn't help but judge.

According to his father's occasional mention, after awakening the Three Hooks Writing Wheel Eye, the strength of the ninjas of the Uchiha clan will undergo earth-shaking changes, far beyond the strength of the level of the middle ninja.

Shinobi? Shikamaru felt the rapid recovery of his physical strength and chakra, and at the same time speculated in his mind about what level of Sasuke's strength had developed.

Now I can only put the hope of victory on the fact that Sasuke is not yet proficient in the power of the Three Hooks Writing Wheel Eye.

If Sasuke had mastered this power, things would have gotten worse.

"Ding Ci, how is the situation on your side?"

Shikamaru looked at Dingji, who had retreated to his side, gasping for breath.

"No, it's okay...... It's just that the body is still a little paralyzed. ”

Ding Ci learns the secret art of Yang Escape, which will subtly improve the physique of the practitioner, in other words, Ding Ci is very confident in his ability to resist blows.

Even if it is struck by lightning, it will not fall immediately.

"Hey, what's next? Akamaru told me that it was best not to fight the current Sasuke. Otherwise, it will be dangerous. ”

Tooth made a vigilant gesture, hugged the trembling Akamaru in his arms, and spoke to Shikamaru.

"Then I have to say, of course, I want to bring Sasuke back!"

Naruto's tone was firm.

"Don't worry, Naruto. I knew that the first priority, of course, was to bring Sasuke back to the village, but recklessness was not advisable. ”

Shikamaru calmly calmed Naruto's emotions.

Now Sasuke is not polite to say, except for a Naruto whose strength is very vague, he is stronger than any of them, and he is much stronger.

It's a pity that although Shikamaru wants to prolong the battle time to delay Sasuke's footsteps, Sasuke doesn't plan to give Shikamaru time to think about countermeasures.

After a quick solution and a quick deal to get rid of these people, leave immediately.

Sasuke, who had made up his mind, had a strange black in his crimson eyes.

Although he hates to fight in such an ugly posture, the spell mark given to him by Orochimaru does have merit.

And in this state, Sasuke found that he could perceive the natural energy around him more clearly.

"If you don't attack it, then I'll be on it!"

Sasuke's body, which was wrapped in the curse mark, was immediately covered with dense electric light, releasing a sharp bird cry.

At the time of the middle ninja exam, he was not familiar with the ability, but now Sasuke has successfully applied the power of Chidori to his whole body, forming a defensive circle with no dead ends.

In addition, this form of Chidori will not only protect its body, but also inflict electric shocks on enemies it touches.

It can be said to be a ninjutsu that integrates offense and defense.

Sasuke lifted his heels and ran with the thunder attribute chakra.

Shikamaru sealed, stretched his shadow and rushed towards Sasuke, who was attacking head-on.

When he was about to touch Sasuke's shadow, Sasuke's figure flashed and disappeared.

"There it is!"

Hinata pointed in one direction.

Naruto instantly scattered more than a dozen shadow clones and surrounded Sasuke in an outflanking manner.

Sasuke didn't dodge or dodge, and sped forward.

Thunder flashed, and more than a dozen Naruto shadow clones rushed towards Sasuke, and disappeared in the screams.

"Partial multiplication!"

Dingji raised his right hand, which suddenly became longer and thicker, and fell from the top of Sasuke's head.

Sasuke snorted lightly, sealed in order, and opened his mouth to spit lightly.

Burst~

A fireball erupted from its mouth and rushed towards the huge palm overhead.

Ding Ji screamed and untied the ninjutsu, but his entire right hand was scorched, steaming hot.

Continue to dodge Shikamaru's shadow attack to make sure that you don't get touched by the shadow.

There were three attackers, one defender, and one observer.

Sasuke's chakra was projected straight onto Naruto and the others.

Naruto, Dingji, and Shikamaru are in charge of jamming and attacking.

Teeth are in charge of guarding.

Hinata is undoubtedly the 'eye' of the core.

With these white eyes, if you want to sneak attack, it's almost impossible.

If you continue to consume it like this, it will be very detrimental to yourself.

They must be separated with a wide range of attacks.

However, it is a pity that although Sasuke can adjust the amount of chakra injected to change the range of the fire escape technique, the range of this change is also very limited, not enough to completely separate these five people and break them individually.

Well, there's only one way you can think of.

If the quality is not good, then use the quantity to win.

Without hesitation, Sasuke jumped backwards and landed on the trunk of a giant tree, looking down on everyone from a high position.

Next, a large amount of chakra is mobilized and gathered in the mouth.

Hands stamped.

"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"

It is better to attack targets on the ground from a high position.

However, it is only a fireball, and the effect is very weak.

Just as Shikamaru was thinking this, a second fireball erupted from Sasuke's mouth.

Then came the third, the fourth, and the fifth.

When the sixth fireball also spewed out of Sasuke's mouth, Shikamaru and the others directly changed color.

There was no need for Shikamaru to command, and everyone was dispersed from the attack range of the fleeing fireball according to Sasuke's will.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Fireballs kept falling to the ground, scorching the earth and the trees in the forest.

For a while, a sea of fire was directly formed in this forest area, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to rise sharply, and even the air seemed to begin to distort and deform in the high temperature.

……

"There...... What happened? ”

There was such a huge fire in the forest, and the Konoha ninjas patrolling this area discovered it almost at the same time.

"Is there anyone fighting there?"

A ninja said.

"Go over and see what's going on. If it's an enemy, just kill it. ”

The other three looked at each other, and finally decided to start approaching the area.

However, as they were about to run past, a figure flashed silently before their eyes.

Before the four Konoha ninjas could react, they felt black in front of their eyes and fell to the ground one after another, losing consciousness.

"Sasuke, that kid is really nonsense, it's just increasing my workload."

Kakashi appeared next to the unconscious four Konoha ninjas and swept towards the area where the fire had started.

Luckily, it's gradually moving away from Konoha's core control area, and there aren't many ninjas patrolling.

Otherwise, it won't be so easy to get out of here safely.

"So, do you see the sun in the clouds, or do you sink in the darkness and become another ferret...... Let me see how you've grown over the years, Sasuke. ”

Although as a teacher, Kakashi would love to help Sasuke.

But whether the darkness of the self can break the conventional 'curse' can only be crossed by oneself.

Besides, all the things he can do have been arranged in advance in the past few years, and the things that he can teach Sasuke are not hidden. The rest of the road can only be walked by Sasuke alone.

Sasuke is very kind, and under his cold and indifferent appearance, he has a human touch that is gentler than many people.

Kakashi knew that.

But it is precisely because of kindness and this gentle human touch that after going to the other extreme, it will become more and more terrifying.

"I hope your past workouts are not just words......
