In the dim light of the evening, the mysterious man standing on the tree looks even more terrifying than during the day!

However, both Sasuke and Ninji were trembling.

Only this time, their trembling was not fear, but excitement!

They know that if they don't dare to look at each other directly and are timid, then this shadow will haunt them for the rest of their lives like maggots on tarsal bones.

"This time I won't let you win so easily!"

Sasuke gritted his teeth, and his inky eyes instantly turned scarlet.

Ning Ci opened his eyes, and his brows suddenly furrowed: "He..."

Sa!

Just as Ninji was trying to say something, the mysterious man suddenly moved, and with the scream of the breaking wind, he rushed straight at Shinji, who had quietly retreated behind Sasuke and Ninji.

"All in one!"

Seeing that the other party was coming directly towards him, Shinji used the 'breathing method' to the extreme, and used the only remaining kunai in the ninja bag to meet it.

Boom!

In an instant, a series of piercing metal clashes, accompanied by the firelight of the kunai collision, shone on the dim river.

"No, he's not Orochimaru!"

"How so!?"

In the instant fierce battle, Shinji and the mysterious man were all secretly taken aback.

Shinji originally thought that the person who came was Orochimaru, and he was ready to use the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye as a last resort, but as soon as he got started, he found that although the other party was very strong, it was far from the strength of the mysterious person during the day, and it was obviously a fake.

The root ninja who pretended to be a mysterious person was also surprised at the moment.

During the day, he easily knocked down Shinji several times, so after receiving the mission, he didn't think much about it at all, thinking that it was just a trip.

I didn't think that after starting to get started, the little ghost who could be solved with a knife during the day would be so difficult.

"He's from Tuanzang!"

"He hid his strength during the day and was deliberately brought back to the base by me?"

In the blink of an eye, the two who fought each other realized a lot.

"Don't be afraid, he's not the mysterious man in the day!"

Ning Ji dropped a sentence, and then didn't care whether Sasuke dared to go up or not, he pounced on it and forcibly joined the battle group.

Through the huge difference in the amount of chakra, he had already judged that the other party was a fake.

"I don't care if he's fake!"

Not to be outdone, Sasuke also rushed into the warband.

Suddenly, the fierce fight between the two turned into a melee of four people!

Shinji, who was running the 'breathing method' at full strength, became the main force of the three, and was under the greatest pressure from the enemy, while Sasuke and Ninji each used their own Hitomi Jutsu to cooperate.

With the cooperation of the three of them, the situation fell into a stalemate for a while.

And this is undoubtedly a great incentive for the three of them, originally they were prepared for the worst, who knew that after they really started, they could barely maintain the situation.

Although the price is the wounds on Shinji's body, there are more and more.

The blood loss caused Shinji's breathing to gradually become disordered, and the maintenance of the 'breathing method' also fluctuated.

"The other party's target is only me, and Tuanzang wants to kill me! Why? Did I expose it, or did I simply kill me to vent my anger? ”

Although the situation is getting more and more critical, Shinji is not messed up because of the hole cards, and he is still analyzing the current situation.

In his mind, the reason why Tuan Zang did it to himself was probably just to vent his anger, because if he was really exposed, Tuan Zang would definitely capture him alive and torture his secrets, rather than directly sending someone to assassinate him.

After fighting fiercely for so long, Sasuke and Ninji naturally sensed that the mysterious man's target was Shinji.

They thought that it was because Shinji was the strongest, so they were targeted by the mysterious man, and a nameless anger gushed out in their chests.

Ning Ci is a little better, knowing that the strong enemy is current, he can still press it.

Sasuke, who was holding back the evil fire in his belly, couldn't control it so much, and yelled directly: "You bastard, don't underestimate me!" ”

"Hell yes!"

The root ninja disguised as a mysterious person is secretly crying out at the moment.

He really didn't expect that in addition to Shinji, who obviously hid his strength, Sasuke and Ningji's progress was also obvious.

During the day in the Forest of Death, these two people will also be deformed and overreact due to nervousness, fear and other emotions.

But by this moment, all those mistakes were gone.

Ning Ci's soft fist became more neat, and one move and one style were tightly matched. And Sasuke's physical skills have also grown visibly with the naked eye, and even faintly have a bit of Shinji's appearance.

He knew that he couldn't continue to consume it any longer, so he was ruthless, and he took a soft punch from Ningji, knocking Sasuke, who had been covered by Ningji, out of the air, and then repelling Ningji.

Temporarily out of the way, he pounced on Shinji, ready for a quick victory.

From Shinji's rapid breathing, he knew that Shinji was almost at his limit, after all, the physical limit of an eight-year-old child was so much.

Shinji didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless, and at the cost of losing an arm, he solved Sasuke and Ninji so quickly, so his figure flashed and fled towards the grove by the river.

"Want to escape!? Where can you escape? ”

The root ninja snorted coldly in his heart and immediately chased after him.

"Shinji can't stop him alone, I'm going to help!"

Ning Ci, who got up from the ground, greeted, and then followed the two into the woods.

Sasuke's moves are wide open and close, his attack is fierce, and there are many flaws, so he was hit in the ribs by the root ninja just now, and he couldn't slow down for a while.

But looking at Shinji, Ning Ji was still fighting, and his pride did not allow him to lie on the ground alone, so he gritted his teeth, endured the great pain, got up from the ground, and staggered into the woods.

Inside the grove.

Shinji, who was on the run, thought about countermeasures in his head.

Although the place where he is now is remote, he is still in the village after all, and as long as he can make a loud enough noise, he will soon be able to attract the ninjas in the village.

Glancing back again, he saw that the root ninja who followed him was getting closer and closer, and he was about to catch up with him, he secretly said: "Don't panic, I will use fire to escape when I rush out of the forest, and I will definitely attract other ninjas." ”

Suddenly, his eyes froze, and a stunned look appeared on his face.

Just now, there were two shadows standing on a large tree he had crossed, and they were staring at him faintly, watching him being chased by the root ninja but indifferent.

At this moment, Shinji realized that Danzo's actions may have received some degree of acquiescence from the village.

He didn't know what the reason was, it could be that the village leaders didn't pursue Sasuke in exchange for Danzou, or it could be that the village leaders wanted to appease the stolen Danzo.

In short, Tuan Zang vented his anger against him, and the village leaders did not strongly intervene, but chose to pretend not to know.

Nine times out of ten, these two shadows in the forest were responsible for keeping Sasuke safe, so they had to appear nearby.

Knowing this, Shinji quickly abandoned his previous strategy, no longer pinning his hopes on the village's support, and turned around and shot the only remaining kunai in his hand at the root ninja behind him.

Boom!

The root ninja used the kunai in his hand to block the kunai shot by Shinji, and smiled secretly: "Did this little ghost guess anything when he saw the two shadows just now?" Oh, a remnant of Uchiha who dares to disobey Danzo-sama, let you know now..."

Swish...

The root ninja suddenly froze, and then was surprised to find that his head was separated from his body.

In his blurred vision, he noticed that there was a thread running across the place he had just passed.

If it weren't for the fact that his blood was still hanging on the silk thread, he wouldn't have found it.

"Did that thread cut off my head?"

With one last thought, the Root Ninja closed his eyes...
