Through the blazing barrier formed by "scorching and over-steaming".

The Konoha ninja couldn't move on.

Considering the amazing strength that the Sand Hidden Ninjas just showed.

With the strength of the garrison of Kikyo Castle, it is difficult to compete with it head-on.

The temporary commander on the battlefield did not choose to divide his troops or take a detour, but signaled several ninjas who were good at water escape ninjutsu to step forward and use water escape to reduce the hot barrier formed by "scorching and over-steaming".

It's just that this short time of using the Water Escape Ninjutsu is enough for Chiyo and the others to withdraw a short distance.

Above the sky.

Nara Lang Katsura dodged the sharp ninja thrown by the puppet masters below, while carefully observing the retreat route of the puppet troops in the sand hide.

The barrier formed by "Scorching and Over-Steaming" is enough to hinder the march of the ninjas on the ground.

But what does this have to do with the "flying class" of Nara Langui?

After the battle just now.

Nara Langui has already determined that the puppet force of Sha Yin has basically no effective countermeasures against a mobile and flexible "flying class" like him.

In that case, why not take this opportunity to beat the water dogs more?

Nara is not coveting the secret art of the Sand Hidden Village.

The barrenness of Sand Hidden Village is known to the ninja world.

There are no high-end mystical inheritances in their village that are worth caring about.

What Nara Langui cares about is whether he can take this opportunity to raise his ninja level if he performs well in this emergency siege battle!

According to Tsunade, she was already planning to add Nara to a ninja team.

Participation in the Third Ninja War is inevitable.

But the problem is that Nara Langui is still just a "lower ninja".

In the war, Shinobi is the cannon fodder that has the least right to speak.

Wait until Nara Langui really intervenes in the Third Ninja World War.

Tsunade and the family are far away.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current management.

Nara Langui didn't want to be casually ordered by a middle ninja or upper ninja who didn't know him in the coming days.

Increasing the level of a ninja can effectively prevent this kind of minor trouble from coming.

And if the ninja level is high enough......

Nara Langui may also be able to become a "human shinobi" who orders other low-level ninjas.

"The only problem is that it requires me to show some of my strength."

"But after this battle, my personal strength has been revealed a lot, so ...... [Shadow Clone]!"

A doppelganger once again emerged from the shadow of Nara Langui.

This clone cast the [Shadow Transformation Technique], summoned a [Shadow Creature], and quickly turned back to Kikyo City.

The main body of Nara Langui followed closely behind the puppet troops in Sand Hidden Village, constantly monitoring their movement route through the sky.

"Sister, that little ghost of the Nara clan seems to have separated from a shadow clone."

Among the puppet troops, Ebizo always pays attention to the movement in the sky, and immediately reports when he notices that something is wrong.

"He's supposed to be reporting our course of action to the Konoha ninjas behind."

"We can't deal with him for the time being! Leave him alone! ”

Although Chiyo is old, her speed is not much slower than that of the young ninja next to her.

"We just need to intercept Konoha's pursuing army, he can't do much on his own......"

In the middle of the conversation, the puppet troops of Shayin Village rushed into the dense mountain forest outside Kikyo City.

The Konoha ninjas, who were some distance behind, were about to catch up with the remnants of the group.

But at this time.

"Scorching, Steaming and Killing!"

It's still Ye Cang's shot.

Through the special "Scorching" Blood Relay Limit ability, Ye Cang instantly evaporated the water in the surrounding trees, and then directly ignited this group of dry trees through high temperatures.

The raging flames instantly ignited the mountains and forests, and then detonated the flammable materials that the Sand Hidden Ninjas had placed on their retreat route in advance, igniting the woods that had not yet been affected by the scorching.

Boom!

The furious flames turned into sky-high flames, illuminating almost half of the sky.

"These damn sand hides!"

Blocked by flames, the temporary commander on the battlefield cursed angrily.

Although he can take a detour directly.

But the fire ahead was too big.

If left unchecked, it is easy for the wildfire to spread to other areas, and it will not only be a bellflower city that will be affected.

But with the few water escape ninjas under his hands, God knows how many chakras it will take to destroy this sky-high flame that has already revealed a terrifying posture!

After some thought, the temporary commander still gave the order to let the Konoha ninja extinguish the fire first and then make other considerations.

And during this time.

Nara Langui's [Shadow Clone] has returned to Kikyo City and found the old patriarch.

"Lan Gui, you're back!"

Nara's face couldn't hide the excitement.

He hadn't expected that Nara Langui alone would be able to basically contain the puppet forces that Sha Yin was so proud of, and even inflict a large number of casualties on them.

Is this still the level of strength that a ninja of the Nara clan should have?

Nara's strength is too much beyond the old patriarch's expectations.

Perhaps...... The Nara clan can really covet the fifth generation Hokage in a few decades! ’

"I'm just a doppelganger now."

Nara Langui spread his hands and asked quickly.

"Patriarch, where is Tsunade-sama now?"

Nara Kano's tone paused slightly, "Tsunade-hime...... I am studying the antidote to the compound poison of the sand concealment in the rear. ”

He was actually a little curious as to why Tsunade-hime didn't show up at all during the battle just now.

But considering that Nara has already "solved" the enemy.

This small problem is not within the scope of Nara Kano's concern.

What's more, Tsunade Ji isn't really lazy, she's also working hard!

"Lan Gui, do you have anything to negotiate with Tsunade-hime?"

"No, to be precise, I need to negotiate with the current Supreme Commander of Kikyo City."

"Then just tell me."

Nara Shikano Road.

"I, a retired old bone, have just been appointed to the brink of danger, and I am currently the highest person in charge of Kikyo City."

"That's good...... Patriarch, do we need to continue the pursuit of the puppet forces in the sand? ”

"Of course!"

A cold light flashed in Nara's eyes.

"Since the ninjas of the sand have dared to raid Kikyo Castle, then they should know what the price of defeat is!

"Just now, the ape demon has sent a message, and the three generations of adults are leading the troops to this side of Kikyo City, and we will definitely not let go of this group of sand hidden ninjas easily!"

"That's fine......"

Nara wanted to leave, but something suddenly came to mind.

"Patriarch, the S-class mission that Tsunade Ji said just now is it completed?"

"The enemy has been driven away, so this mission must have been completed......

Nara Shikano looked at Nara Katsura with some strange eyes.

"Lan Gui, is it my delusion, it seems to be ...... Interested in advanced tasks? ”

Quest Maniac?

There has never been such an example in the entire history of the Nara clan!

The old patriarch's words just fell.

A few new lines of information popped up directly on Nara Langui's panel.

[S-rank mission [Kikyo Castle Defense] completed! 】

[You get an S-rank [Ninja Secret Scroll]! 】

"It's a bit ...... Patriarch, let's not talk about it yet. ”

Nara Langui raised his finger and lifted the effect of the [Shadow Clone].

"Then I'll continue to contain those sand ninjas."

Boom!

Nara Langui's [shadow clone] exploded into a cloud of smoke, and the experience and memories flowed back to the main body along with the Yin Chakra.

The other side.

Got a message from the old patriarch to confirm.

Nara Langui also stopped hanging out, manipulating the [Shadow Creature] to speed up the pursuit of the puppet troops towards the sand hide.

The puppet troops of the sand are moving through the mountains and forests at great speed.

Due to the sheltering effect provided by the trees, they did not notice the approach of Nara Lankatsura at the first time.

Harnessing the [Shadow Creature] to quietly approach the ninjas of the sand, Nara Langui took out a thick stack of detonation charms from the ninja bag, twisted them one by one, and tied them to the shuriken to gain weight.

As long as the funds allowed, Nara Langui didn't mind preparing more ninja equipment for self-defense.

The detonator is a thing that is simple to operate, powerful and does not consume its own chakra.

There is nothing wrong with it other than being more expensive.

"There is a reason why you are expensive."

Nara grabbed a detonating charm with a shuriken tied to it, made a slight prediction of the direction, and threw it at the puppet troops below.

"But it's not a matter of detonators......"

Whoa—

The sound of the detonator being ignited was noticeable in the silence of the night.

The puppet troops, who were the elite of the sand, quickly realized that someone was throwing a detonation charm at them, and judged the source of the detonation charm by the direction from which the sound came.

"This little ghost of the Nara family is simply haunted!"

Chiyo gave the order helplessly.

"Watch out for the detonation charms from the sky!"

However, how could Nara Langui's attack be so monotonous.

Just as the ninjas of the puppet army were about to dodge the detonation charm that fell from the sky.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, a pitch-black bullet flew downwards at breakneck speed, striking the shadow of a certain Sand Hidden Puppeteer with unmistakable accuracy.

[Spiral Shadow Binding]!

The Yin Escape Chakra burst out in an instant, turning into a powerful restraint, immobilizing the Sand Hidden Puppeteer in place, unable to dodge in time.

"Save—"

Bang!

Before the puppeteer from Sand Hidden Village could utter all of his words for help, he was directly interrupted by the detonating charm of the explosion.

Before the rest of the Sand Ninja could react, they lost another teammate.

"Damn Konoha ninjas!"

Blood gushed from Ebizo's eyes, and he grabbed the ninja fan in his hand and slammed it in the direction of the sky.

"Wind Escape, Hang the Net!"

With the help of the ninja fan, the wind-like chakra was transformed into a series of wind blades with extremely strong cutting power, and after a delicate change of shape, it turned into a huge network of wind.

The huge net formed by the "Wind Escape, Hanging Net" galloped towards Nara in the sky, as if to encircle him.

[Detected that a B-rank Ninja Battle Mission has been triggered!] 】

[B-rank Mission: Ebizo]

[Quest content: Defeat/kill the Shinobi Urami of the Sunain Murakami]

【Reward: B-rank Ninja Secret Scroll】

'Wow! The Battle Mission has been triggered! ’

"Sure enough, it was because of the coverage of S-class missions, so the additional battle missions were not triggered......

Nara glanced at the mission information on the panel, and his mind was full of thoughts.

But at the same time, the movement of the seal in his hand did not lag at all.

The [Nature Mask] of the fire attribute hung on Nara Langui's waist, constantly providing him with the fire escape chakra that had been refined long ago.

"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"

A huge fireball slammed into a net-like wind.

According to the principle of nature killing, fire escape restrains wind escape.

This is obviously a wind escape ninjutsu used to attack and hinder Nara Langui, but the moment it touches the [Hao Fireball Technique], it becomes the "fuel" that fuels the latter, and it is directly torn off the spot.

If it weren't for the limited distance effect of [Howe Fireball Technique].

The huge fireball that had clearly expanded in a circle was very likely to counterattack the puppet forces of the sand.

The fireball formed by the [Hao Fireball Technique] dissipated in mid-air.

Nara once again threw the detonation charm of the sticky shuriken.

The target of his attack this time was none other than Ebizo, who had just triggered the battle mission!

When I woke up this morning, my throat was dry and sore, and I didn't know if it was the flu or if it was yang again.

Everyone should pay attention to their bodies......
