Chapter 30: The Princess of Thorns (1)

It's almost nightfall.

The temperature in the forest continues to drop, and it has already broken below freezing.

The thick snow piled up on the road could not stop the ninjas, who ignored the harsh environment and kept running forward.

A total of 3,000 troops, located on the right flank, galloped in front of a squadron, the leader of which was an upper ninja of Konoha who took the lead in running to the front of the squadron to facilitate his own command of the team.

Beside him, followed by a ninja from the Hyuga clan, the rank of the middle ninja, about twenty years old, with the same delicate face as most of the Hyuga clan.

On his delicate face, the meridians at the eye position began to bulge hideously, which was the unique state of the Hyuga clan's blood inheritance limit white eyes remained open.

In order to be able to scout the surrounding environment for the team anytime and anywhere, his white eyes, in the process of hurrying, basically remained open and not closed.

And the sense of security brought by white eyes is also unparalleled.

As the leader of this squadron, as long as there is a Hyuga ninja by his side, then the sense of security in his heart will be infinitely improved, and he will not have to be afraid of a sudden attack by the enemy.

After all, ninjas exist, and it is common to raid enemies in encounters, and many experienced ninjas can die in a mission if they make a mistake once.

And with the white eyes of the Hyuga clan, such a thing can be prevented.

"Wait!"

At this moment, the Nakashinobi of the Hyuga clan quickly stopped his galloping legs on the snow, and his open white eyes stared fixedly ahead, and in the gray-white world he witnessed with his white eyes, a point of light as hot as the sun quickly magnified in his field of vision.

Moreover, this point of light was breaking through the atmosphere at an incomparably terrifying speed, ignoring the wind resistance, and flying towards the squadron they were in.

"This chakra...... Not good, hurry up and disperse! ”

Before he could explain, the Hyuga clan's Nakashinobi's complexion changed drastically, and he directly poured a large amount of chakra into his feet, leaving the place like a whirlwind, and jumping towards the no-man's land on the side to escape.

Hearing the panicked screams of the Hyuga ninja, the rest of the Konoha ninjas also reacted, something dangerous was approaching here.

Without hesitation, he injected more chakras into his calves and soles than usual, greatly improving his body's mobility and spreading out to the sides to avoid this unknown attack.

And yetβ€”

The flaming greatsword, which ignored the wind resistance in the path, suddenly came the moment they jumped, hitting the ground.

Bang!

The slender greatsword of the burning flames, like the sun falling, continued to emit tsunami-like waves of fire and golden light, overwhelmingly thinking about the surrounding flow.

A huge explosion followed, detonating the terrifying scorching air currents that dispersed the blizzard, and even if the Konoha ninja dodged in time, it was swept away, covering a wide range of shockwaves, and it was ruthlessly swept out, rolling on the melted snow in a howl of pain, embarrassed.

In the face of such a devastating blow, they had no strength to resist.

The Hyuga ninja, who retreated one step earlier than the rest of the Konoha ninjas, looked at the hollowed-out forest not far away, revealing a huge crater with a diameter of more than ten meters, but the shock wave caused by it swept away the ground and trees at a greater distance, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his body took a step back in accordance with his instinct.

"Damn!"

The leader of the squadron, Shinobi, avoided the attack because of his high strength, and the injuries caused were not serious.

But he saw that nearly a quarter of the personnel of his squadron died on the spot under this blow, and many others were wounded, rolling on the ground in embarrassment and wailing, the tragic situation was shocking, and for a while, the captain of the squadron was stunned and glared forward in anger.

- On the other side, the temporary captain in charge of commanding the 3,000-strong troops, the Shangnin of the Sarufei clan, heard the sudden explosion in the forest, and his body subconsciously stiffened in the process of running.

Then he jumped to the top of the tree, and saw the forest to the north begin to catch fire, billowing black smoke into the sky.

"Seventh Squadron, what's going on there with you? Why is it so loud? Hear it, answer it immediately! ”

The Sarutobi clan immediately used a radio communicator to contact the captain of the seventh squadron.

"Our squadron was attacked by the enemy, with nearly half of the casualties, ask for reinforcements!"

On the other side, the anxious shouts of the captain of the seventh squadron were soon heard.

"What?"

The Ape Fei clan was taken aback.

However, before he could continue asking, a panicked shout of a Konoha ninja was heard below:

"Captain, there is a strange and powerful chakra in front of us that is rapidly approaching us, look at Chakra's reaction, there are eleven people in total!"

The Konoha ninja sealed his hands and detected eleven unfamiliar chakra sources approaching the troops, obviously not well, and it was definitely not the personnel who came to meet them.

"Attention all squadrons, the enemy is found, there are dozens of people, the enemy level is unknown. Take the 'B' Combat Eucalyptus now and execute it now! ”

Without hesitation, the Sarufei clan used the radio device to release the battle plan to all squadrons.

After giving the order, he jumped from the canopy and looked deep ahead, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

"Up, surround them!"

"Yes!"

No one was afraid, and under the leadership of the Sarufei clan Shangnin, they quickly galloped towards the forest ahead.

In the team, many Konoha ninjas with immature faces who had obviously not been baptized on the battlefield began to be excited and eager to try, not knowing what they were afraid of.

The forest was suddenly filled with a solemn atmosphere, the storm became stronger and stronger, and the biting cold wind was mixed with large snowflakes.

The gray clouds in the sky also seemed to be crushed on the ground, making the surrounding air pressure heavier and heavier, making it impossible to breathe.

Rumble!

Under the violent impact, the snowflakes scattered, and a pitch-black figure broke into the encirclement of a Konoha squadron.

Wearing a black trench coat and black armor, as well as a pitch-black mask with a face that resembles the tip of a bird's beak, he is extremely conspicuously exposed to the enemy's vision in a silver-white world.

"Tu Dun Tu Long Gun!"

Sharp stone spears burst into the sky from the ground, stabbing at the onslaught of the oni ninja.

Bang!

The sharp stone spear looked extremely fast, only to be shattered by the Oni no Kuni ninja's punch.

After that, the sturdy figure fell to the ground like a boulder, causing the ground to shake.

The surrounding Konoha ninjas were undaunted, and quickly opened an encirclement and surrounded him, throwing kunai and shuriken at each other to block his path.

Unbeknownst to him, this unusually large Oni no Kuni ninja, from under his black beak mask, came out with a beast-like roar, raised his hands, clenched into fists, and then fell fiercely on the ground under the surprised gaze of the Konoha ninja.

Rumble!

Card!

The earth cracked, and countless earth and stones bulged upwards irregularly, and many Konoha ninjas couldn't dodge and fell directly into the cracked stone cracks.

The originally tightly synthesized encirclement was full of loopholes in the blink of an eye.

"This guy!"

The leader's nerves tightened, and he was shocked by this strange power.

Seeing that the encirclement formation of the Konoha ninja was disrupted by himself, this Oni no Kuni ninja did not hesitate, like a runaway bull, without any dodging frontal sprint, and his whole body exuded an incomparably terrifying momentum.

"Wow! Don't come here!

!

”

Perhaps it was the enemy's momentum, which was too overwhelming, and the Konoha ninja who faced this terrifying sense of oppression suddenly twitched his muscles, revealing a look of panic.

He uncontrollably brandished the ninja knife in his hand, trying to stop the enemy's lunge.

This Oni Country ninja threw a punch, and at the same time as the empty fist broke and swung the ninja knife, the fist fell on the face of the Konoha ninja without any obstruction.

His nose bone shattered, blood splattered, and the Konoha ninja who was hit by his fist shot his body shot out like a cannonball.

Crashed into a tree, and the terrifying manpower he was carrying on his body had not yet dispersed, and he continued to drag and roll on the cold snow until a straight line of blood stretched out on the snow, more than ten meters long, and it could not be stopped.

- The Ninja of the Oni Country, who has transformed two pairs of wings with the materialized chakra behind him, is flying at a low altitude.

Along the way, with the physical chakra wings, she set off an extremely terrifying blizzard, causing the more than a dozen Konoha ninjas who were resisting her advance with flesh and blood in front of her to be swept away by the fierce wind.

Not only that, but with amazing strength, she grabbed one Konoha ninja with one hand and grabbed two Konoha ninjas, and her flight speed did not drop in the slightest.

On the contrary, under the intensification of the chakra in her body, the chakra wings behind her were even larger, like a hideous chakra beast.

When it flew to the end of this squadron, it suddenly flew to the end of the trajectory, and the wings flapped hard, showing a ninety degree straight into the gradually darkening sky.

The two Konoha ninjas who were caught by her let out a panicked scream.

Soon, the Oni no Kuni ninja's palm loosened, and in a desperate shout, the two Konoha ninjas began to free fall into the silver-white earth from a height of five hundred meters in the air.

- A blue phantom descends and rushes into the body of a Konoha ninja with lightning speed.

Without hesitation, the Konoha ninja, who was occupying his body, picked up the ninja knife behind his back and swung it vigorously at the defenseless companion beside him, creating chaos.

- A spiral-shaped tree rising into the sky, covered with thorns overgrown with thorns.

From the cracks in the thorns, a large number of bloodstained arms were revealed, and judging from the degree of flexure of the arms, they tried desperately to escape from the spiral-shaped tree before they died, and finally died of exhaustion under the restraint of the wooden thorns.

At the bottom of the spiral tree, a ninja of the Oni no Kuni wearing a black trench coat and a long black beak mask stood majestically.

At his feet, there were also two Konoha ninjas who had fallen from their chests pierced through the chest with wooden spears.

Under the blowing of the cold wind, the black trench coat hunted and exuded the smell of death.

A shadow of death loomed over the surrounding Konoha ninjas.

"What's the joke, this guy actually used the wooden escape of the first adult, is this a dream......"

The leading squadron shinobi, from the distorted muscles of his face, squeezed out of the smile or what, gave people a feeling of unusually reluctant and unbelievable, and a trace of cold sweat slipped from the corner of his forehead.

β€”β€”Released a laser beam from the palm of his hand, blasting a Konoha ninja who rushed towards him, and the ninja of the Oni no Kuni who used ninjutsu further intensified the chakra in his body.

I saw that a thunder snake was like a living thing, and began to surround his body, and two of them gathered in his palm, tirelessly doing circular movements, gorgeous and abnormal.

But in this splendid beauty, there is a mortal danger.

"Everyone, be careful, this guy is a Lan Dun ninja!"

The well-informed Konoha Kamishinobi saw through the escape technique used by this ninja of the Oni Country at a glance.

Although the appearance looks similar to Lei Dun, the essence is not Lei Dun, but the blood inheritance limit created after the fusion of Lei Dun and Shui Dun - Lan Dun.

Its power is more powerful than a single thunder escape and water escape.

- After the blades collide with each other, the opposing sides quickly retreat backwards, sliding out of a conspicuous track on the snow.

Holding a precious ninja sword made of chakra metal in his hand, the Sarutobi clan stared at the ninja who was fighting with him in front of him.

Knife skills, speed is not weaker than oneself.

And the eyes that seeped out from under the beak mask shone red, and the figure of the three-hooked jade appeared.

Writing Wheel Eye!

couldn't help but make the face of the Ape Fei clan solemn.

In the radio communicator in his ear, the information of the various squadrons began to report to his side.

"Lan Dun, Mu Dun, the art of spiritualization, the peacock magic method of the original star ninja village, the writing wheel eye, the physical technique of using the secret technique of Yang Dun to increase the physical body to the limit...... You guys, you use either forbidden techniques and secret arts, or the power of the blood inheritance limit, and each ability is rare. It seems that your army is very famous, no wonder such a small number of people dare to come and attack. ”

Although the face of the Ape Fei clan Shangnin was smiling, there was already a secret cloth in his eyes.

The eyes of the Uchiha ninja standing on the opposite side did not fluctuate, but he did not slowly raise the standard saber in his hand, and in the eyes of the red writing wheel, the three hooks rotated slightly, and then the figure flashed forward, rushing towards the ape flying clan shinobi again, and continued to fight.

- In the hollowed-out heart of the forest, only a large bare stone is in the center.

Ichihime stood here, unshaken by the constant commotion from afar.

Beside her, a Oni no Kuni ninja was sitting cross-legged and performing some kind of ninjutsu.

Is this the one who uses the Spiritualization Technique? In the cold snow, the soil turned into fine grains of sand, and a Konoha ninja used his soil to sneak freely in the soil, and abandoned the murderous aura, and approached the oni no kuni ninja sitting cross-legged on the rocks at a very fast speed, and his heart was determined.

The art of spiritualization, which can flexibly use the power of one's soul and shuttle remotely to achieve the forbidden technique of controlling and killing the enemy.

Even in the history of Konoha, there are very few ninjas who have cultivated this forbidden technique.

The most famous is one of the three ninjas, and now the late boyfriend of the fifth generation of Hokage Tsunade in Konoha - Kato Tsunade.

Once used this forbidden technique to make ninjas from all over the world feel a headache on the battlefield of the ninja war.

Fortunately, as a soul forbidden technique that was lost from Konoha, some knowledgeable shinobi understand that this forbidden technique is terrible, but also know the flaws of this forbidden technique.

That is, during the procedure, the body cannot be moved.

Once the enemy finds the main body, it will become a fatal weakness.

As long as you kill this guy, then the Spiritualization Technique will be self-defeating...... The Konoha ninja who sneaked in with the earth escape clenched the kunai in his hand hard.

10 meters ...... Five-meter ...... Three-meter ...... A little closer, the Konoha ninja, who is good at earth escape, is not a little anxious, and his breath is hidden to the realm of almost nothing.

Although it's not a ninja, he thinks that at the level of the middle ninja, his strength is second to none, especially the stealth and assassination abilities, even if the upper ninja is not careful, he can successfully take off the opponent's head.

One meter!

Approaching again, the enemy's figure was too close.

Moreover, this is already the distance he can complete the lore!

Now is the time!

A fierce light burst out of the Konoha ninja's eyes, and he was about to rush out of the rock, complete the fatal blow and quickly evacuate.

Poof!

Something broke into the shell.

Huh?

The Konoha ninja hidden in the rocks felt a pain in his head, and his consciousness quickly fell into boundless darkness, and cold and death attacked him.

"Konoha ...... It turns out that there is such a guy, and I almost didn't notice it, so I can't underestimate it in the slightest. ”

Kazuhime, who casually plunged the Kusanagi sword into the rock, smiled at the corner of her mouth.

Then, she stretched and said into the communicator:

"Okay, you're almost done, let's all come back."

Less than half a minute after she finished saying this, a blue phantom flew from the sky, ignoring the resistance of the wind and snow, enveloping the body on the rock, and then her body regained consciousness and slowly stood up from the rock.

After the first person returned, the second person also quickly returned with the help of the wings formed by the chakra.

The third, the fourth, and the last man were evacuated from the battlefield, and eleven figures fell on and around the rocks.

Some of them lost their trench coats, revealing their pitch-black chakra armor, apparently having gone through a 'hard fight', causing their trench coats to be lost in the fierce battle and becoming trophies in the hands of others.

As the members of the group gathered one by one, the Konoha ninja who was chasing them also followed closely behind, biting hard.

All the Konoha ninjas of the thirty squadrons arrived, and the darkness around them was overwhelming, giving people a great sense of shock.

Although many squadrons were partially damaged after being raided, they were able to ensure such a neat formation under such a swift assault, and the ninjas who were in command still had a good ability.

Looking at this black oppressive piece, the eyes full of hostility and murderous intent, all gathered together, did not feel pressure, nor was he afraid, Yiji, who was standing on the rock, just lightly pressed his chest with his left hand.

For some reason, the blood flow in her body suddenly became faster, and an unprecedented sense of pleasure made Kazuhime's chest want to explode with excitement.

That's right, that's what you want!

This joy, this happiness!

It's called 'Supreme Joy'!

It's really hateful, my mother is so despicable, such a joyful thing, even one step ahead of me! Yiji tried her best to suppress the seasonal movement in her heart, so that others could not see the flaws.

"Guys from the land of ghosts, give up, you guys...... Now that it is surrounded, there is no way to escape! ”

The Sarufei clan Shangnin walked out of the queue and looked directly at Ichihime with sharp eyes.

In such a dense encirclement, he didn't think that this group of ghost country ninjas had the ability to break through.

Even if the threat of this army is close to the level of the Five Shadows, it will be hated here!

"No, I'll correct you for a mistake."

The corners of Kazuhime's mouth began to rise involuntarily, her long hair flicked, and her hand grasped the hilt of Kusanagi's sword, and with a slight pull, blood splattered out of the crack in the rock where the blade was inserted.

Holding the blood-stained Kusanagi sword, Kazuhime slowly raised the blade into the sky, and a materialized chakra began to emerge from his body, spurting towards the sky.

In the sky, the wind and clouds changed suddenly.

The unsettling aura began to stir people's hearts, and the Konoha ninja who surrounded Kazuhime and the others discovered the anomaly.

But this abnormality, this indescribable sense of oppression, made it impossible for them to describe it concretely, except that it was a fear that was difficult to describe in words, and it quickly took root in their hearts.

"The reason why I gathered all of you here is because I think it would be too time-consuming for thirty squadrons to be scattered and defeated one by one, and it would be easier to gather you together and clean them up in one go."

Under the shocked and horrified gaze of the Konoha ninja, the giant samurai who burned lava transformed into a body like a substance in the spewing chakra torrent.

The flames soaring into the sky are like pillars of light that cut the heavens and the earth in half.

The lava warrior stretched out his arm covering the rolling waves of fire and clasped the pillar of light, revealing the pillar of light.

It was a slender greatsword that matched the lava warriors and was made of flames.

The ape flying clan shrank into a ninja hole, his lips squirmed, and his words were stuck in his throat, and no words seemed pale and powerless in the face of such power.

In desperation, the giant sword that gathered flames slashed down mercilessly.

"Now, come and dance with me!"

As a result, the sword pressure that slammed into the far air easily swept away the blizzard and roared across the earth.

Darkness descended into darkness, like a bottomless darkness, enveloping the hollowed-out forest.

The second round of deathmatch has begun!

β—Ž

"The next strategy, I think it should be like this......"

In the Konoha camp formed by the fortress, in the makeshift meeting place, under the convening of Jiraiya and Nara Shikaku, more than a dozen shinobi who participated in the meeting gathered here.

The voice is spoken out by Shikaku, who is working on the next strategic plan in Konoha.

However, before his words could end, a figure slammed open the door of the conference room, startling all the Konoha Shinobu who saw him.

I saw that this Konoha ninja who broke in, his whole body was covered with blood, and his hair and face were also covered with a mixture of mortar and blood, and his terrifying appearance was like a demon who had just crawled out of hell.

"Branch...... Support...... Hurry up and ...... Support ......"

The Konoha ninja who broke in, out of breath, ignored the pain on his body, and spat out these words intermittently from his mouth in pain and difficulty.

"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"

"Support? Wait, you're from the support forces, what's going on over there? ”

Lu Jiu quickly came over to support the Konoha ninja, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked.

"We were attacked by the Oni Kingdom on the way, and Captain Ape Fei was leading people to fight to the death...... But it didn't last long, that girl was a monster...... Monsters......"

A hoarse voice rolled out of his throat, shocking everyone in the room, including Jilai, with a drastic change in expression.

Attacked by the Land of Demons?

How can it be?

They are keeping a close eye on the movements of the Oni Country, and there are patrol teams all around them, so if the other party uses a large force, it is impossible to hide from them.

Besides, according to their estimates, no matter how fast the Ghost Country moves, it will have to wait until tomorrow to make a good deployment, and the timing is not right at all!

What the hell is going on?
