"It's not easy to take them down!" Also seeing the situation ahead, the accompanying Kuriyal Kushimaru squatted on a tree and muttered.

"I know! However, before we do it, let's explore the situation inside! ”

The puffer fish ghost immediately summoned a sentient ninja and instructed seriously, "I want you to take a few people to the front to investigate carefully and see what is going on in the canyon." ”

"Especially take a closer look to see if that stinky girl is in there!"

Terumi is the core of his operation, and if Terumi is not there, he is naturally unwilling to fight the reformers in this state.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the Perception Ninja immediately set off with three companions who were skilled in stealth reconnaissance.

At the same time, looking at the conservative pursuers who stopped in the distance, Terumi asked Rokuzawa, "You say, will they do it?" ”

"I can't say!"

Rokuzawa shook his head and analyzed seriously: "Both of us are tired, and our combat effectiveness has seriously declined, so in fact, it is no longer suitable to fight again. ”

"Come to think of it, they know that."

"And the reason why they have the courage to come up and chase is because they are unwilling to see us evacuate, so they want to come up and give it a try."

"If we were a little bit more aggressive, we might be able to get them to retreat."

"On the contrary, it may make them more confident and more determined to do something with us!"

"In that case...... Then send a few people out and shout two voices! Terumi turned around and glanced at the assistant beside her.

The assistant understood, and then turned around and went down to make arrangements.

Soon, more than a dozen mist ninjas walked out of the valley in good spirits and stood in the open space outside.

"What are they doing here?" Far away, the watermelon mountain puffer fish ghost was surprised to see it.

Immediately after, he heard the dozen or so fog ninja in front of Taniguchi shouting at the top of their voices.

"Hey—"

"You haunted creatures!"

"Our family said according to Lord Mimei, if you have the guts, come up!"

"Promise to keep you coming back!"

"Don't be like a gutless bandit who keeps sneaking around behind you!"

……

Hearing this, the puffer ghost's face suddenly became very ugly.

Obviously, he is the one who is chasing and killing, but now it is as if the roles of both sides have been replaced, but the enemy on the opposite side is actively provoking him.

Not only him, but even the mist ninja under him were furious.

There is a more impulsive and irritable Kiri Shinobi who comes to the puffer fish ghost to ask for battle.

"My lord, don't investigate anymore, let's attack now!"

"We will definitely kill them all, and put the head of Terumi in front of you!"

"Yes, please let us strike!"

……

The puffer fish ghost was a little moved, but he hesitated a little when he noticed that most of the people were tired and looked sluggish.

Everyone's state is really bad.

It's not a good thing to rush into action.

Just then, the sentient ninja in charge of the investigation returned.

"Report to my lord, after our investigation, we found that there are about 500 people in the canyon, and the others should have withdrawn, and they were left behind."

"However, they are all the elite of reform, and all of them retain a considerable part of their combat effectiveness."

"Coupled with the fact that there is no drag from the wounded, we are afraid that we will have to pay an extremely heavy price if we want to kill them."

"As for my lord, Terumi Ming, who you have always cared about, is also among them."

After listening to the report, the puffer fish ghost suddenly fell into deep thought.

Originally, he was thinking about whether to bypass this group of reformist troops blocking the way and continue to pursue the evacuees in front, but when he heard that Terumi was also here, he immediately dispelled the idea of detouring.

After all, Terumi is his core goal, and there is no point in chasing after him.

It's just that when he thinks of the state of both the enemy and the enemy, he can't help but feel a little headache.

Judging from the current situation, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is comparable, but the reformers have defended the danger and occupied a geographical advantage, and if they attack strongly, they are afraid that they will not be able to take advantage.

At this moment, the Ninja raised his head, then looked in a startled direction.

"Did you find anything again?" The puffer fish ghost hurriedly asked.

The perception ninja strengthened his perception, and then said slowly: "I sensed that countless chakra breaths suddenly appeared in the southeast direction. ”

"It's about eight hundred."

"They're coming towards us at breakneck speed!"

The other party is still far away from here, and if there are only a few sporadic people, it will be difficult for him to perceive the existence of the other party without deliberate investigation.

But the number of people on the other side was too large, it was close to a thousand, and so many people gathered together, the chakra aura naturally became very dense and strong, and it was really difficult for him to ignore it.

"So many people?"

The puffer fish ghost was a little surprised, and immediately ordered, "Hurry up and investigate, and see if it is friend or foe?" ”

Hearing this, the Ninja set off again to investigate the situation.

Soon, the puffer ghost received the information through the other party's wireless communication.

"Report to your lord, that's the reinforcements of the reformers, they just withdrew from the battlefield of the Oni Country!"

"Reinforcements from the reformers?"

The puffer fish ghost was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Damn! If you don't come early, you won't come late, but this time is coming! ”

"Retreat, the whole army retreats!"

Angry, he did not lose his mind, and immediately gave the order to retreat.

Immediately, the conservative troops, who had caught up with them, retreated in a hurry.

Ghost Lantern Full Moon was on the way with his troops, and found that the conservatives were retreating, and he also decisively gave the order to retreat.

Although he did not know what was going on, he knew very well that conservatives must have encountered unsolvable difficulties.

And he just wants to pick up a cheap one.

Since the two sides can no longer fight, he naturally has no need to catch up.

At the same time, Rokuzawa and the others, who were in the canyon, also quickly discovered the reinforcements coming from the rear.

After about ten minutes, the two sides finally met at the canyon.

"So you're back!"

Seeing the mist ninja brought back by Shinobu Aogami, Terumi was very happy.

After nearly three years of fighting, many of the young mist ninjas who were brought out at the beginning have shed their childishness and become qualified ninjas, full of murderous energy.

Naturally, the power of the reformers has also become stronger.

"I heard that Konoha sent reinforcements, and I didn't even have time to go back, so I rushed straight to this side! How's it going, I'm just in time, right? Qing asked everyone with a smile.

"Promptly, very timely!"

Liu Ze nodded and said with a smile: "Your reinforcements have allowed us to avoid an unnecessary bloodshed sacrifice!" ”

He had already noticed that the conservative pursuers had retreated.

A crisis was gone.
