A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future.

With the painful lesson of the previous team member, this time in the face of the shuriken detonation charm thrown by Nara Langui, Ebizo did not have the slightest careless idea.

Not only was he carefully observing the location of the shuriken detonation talisman, but he was also keeping an eye on the general movement of the dark shadow creature in the sky.

It's just that before Ebizo could dodge the attack, an old voice came from his side.

"Puppet Technique: Attack Blade!"

Chiyo's fingertips burst out with wisps of chakra thread, sticking to the end of a kunai, flung it out towards the sky.

It was as if a pitch-black meteor was streaked across the sky, and the kunai thrown by the "Puppet Technique: Attack Blade" quickly and accurately hit the shuriken detonation charm thrown by Nara Langui.

Bite!

Shuriken and kunai collided together in mid-air, making a crisp sound of metal colliding.

The lighter shuriken detonation charm suddenly lost its original accuracy under the violent collision of this kunai, and flew crookedly to the other end.

Rumble!

The explosion of the Detonator exploded into a large, bright fireball in midair, but did not do any damage to the members of the Sand Hide's puppet force.

Chiyo didn't give Nara Langui the slightest time to react, her fingertips touched a seal wrapped around her wrist, and through the preset opening method, a large number of poisonous needles were summoned from the seal.

"Eight waves of needles!"

The ultra-dense metal Senbon turned into a raging wave, and the purple-black light flickering at the tip of the Senbon showed that they were all quenched poisonous weapons.

The speed of the poison needle Senbon was extremely fast, and it flew into the sky almost in the blink of an eye.

The panel pops up a task message again.

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

[A-rank mission: Chiyo]

[Content: Defeat/Kill Chiyo, the Puppeteer of Sand Hidden Village]

[Reward: A-rank Ninja Secret Scroll]

Facing a dense array of poisonous needles.

Nara didn't bother with the task on the panel, he just spread his arms and jumped backwards.

The wind in the sky blew his robe like a hunting sound, and his posture and movements were like birds, with an indescribable wanton chic.

Nara-ryu Secret Technique: Leap of Faith!

The dense attacks formed by the "Eight Waves of Needles" all landed on the [Shadow Creature], crushing it on the spot, turning into a cloud of smoke and dissipating in midair.

"Chiyo-sama knocked that guy down!"

Many of the puppet ninjas of the Sand Hidden Puppet Force were suddenly overjoyed.

But in the next moment.

A shadow creature once again emerged from the shadows around Nara Lankatsu, transformed into a majestic and vivid black bird, grabbed his arm, and took him into the sky again.

"Cunning imp!"

Chiyo sighed helplessly.

In the ninja world, the vast majority of ninjas lack the ability to counter "flying enemies".

First, the maneuverability and flexibility of the flight are too high;

The second is that the distance between them is too far for ordinary ninjutsu to touch the opponent at all.

The current Sand Hidden Puppet Force is in such a predicament.

'If only Raksha had come with him this time...... With his gold dust secret technique, at least he won't be so embarrassed. ’

Chiyo's heart sighed slightly.

She really didn't want to continue to entangle with Nara Langui.

But the problem is not that she doesn't want to go, but that the other party doesn't let their group go at all!

If you let Nara take Katsura alone and let him attack and stop it......

It is very likely that the puppet troops of Shayin will be dragged to death by the other party in this mountain!

At present, the only way is to take the initiative to separate a team member, let him pay attention to the whole process, contain Nara Langui in the sky, prevent and counterattack the shuriken detonation charm thrown by the opponent at any time, and buy time for everyone's overall escape.

It's just that in that case, the speed of this player's movement will be directly slowed down.

The possibility of his escape...... Almost zero.

Chiyo is hesitating whether to execute this tactical strategy of "breaking the tail to survive".

But Ebizo, who was beside her, also thought about this coping method at the same time.

"Sister, Ye Cang, and everyone."

The old voice of Ebizo sounded in the ears of all the Sand Hidden Ninjas, with a strong sense of determination and sacrifice.

"You guys go first, and I'll drag down this Nara ninja."

"Brother, let me ......"

Chiyo wanted to speak and stopped, but she couldn't think of how to dissuade the other party.

The exact level of strength of Nara Langui is not clear to the Sand Hidden Ninja.

But judging from the battlefield performance of the other party quietly slaughtering most of the puppet troops just now under Kikyo City......

Of the many Sand Hidden Ninjas present, there were only three who could take charge of this post-break mission.

Chiyo!

Hakura!

Ebizo!

Not one more.

"Sister, let's go!"

Ebizo said firmly.

"Sister, you are the most powerful puppeteer in Shayin, Ye Cang is the future of Shayin, and everyone is also the elite of the puppet army......

"Just let me, an old man, buy time for everyone!"

The battle situation is urgent, and Konoha support may come at any time.

Chiyo Gu couldn't hesitate for too long, but finally nodded and agreed to Ebizo's request.

The rest of the Sand Hidden Ninja also looked at Ebizo with a look of admiration and admiration.

The other party took the initiative to delay the enemy at this time, which can almost be regarded as taking the initiative to sacrifice......

"Damn Konoha ninja!"

Hakura, who was in an unhappy mood, quickly sealed and released a blazing fireball at Nara Langui, who was circling and flying in the sky.

"Scorching, Steaming and Killing!"

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

[B-rank Mission: Scorching Hakura]

[Content: Defeat/Kill Murakami Shinobi Hakura]

【Reward: B-rank Ninja Secret Scroll】

Hakura's "Scorching Escape: Over-Steaming Kill" is superior to Chiyo's "Needle Eight Waves" in terms of pure power, but it is far inferior to the latter in terms of flight speed and attack range.

Nara Langui manipulated the [Shadow Creature] and deftly avoided the attack of the fireballs.

At the same time, he noticed that the Sand Hidden Force below had split in two.

Ebizo alone was at the back of the group, and his speed was far inferior to that of his companions in front of him, and he soon lagged behind the rest of the group by a considerable distance.

"Are you going to survive like a gecko with a broken tail?"

Nara Langui squinted slightly, seeing the plan that the Sand Hidden Ninjas intended to execute.

"Then let's have fun with the guys......"

With a thought, a transparent and invisible [shadow creature] detached from his body and silently followed behind the large force of the sand.

[A-level Technique: Shadow Stealth Technique]

[Technique Description: A super advanced Yin Retreat technique created based on [Shadow Secret Technique] and [Camouflage Concealment]

[Surgical effect: Finely control the water molecules in the air through the Yin Chakra, eliminate the refracted light, hide your own breath, and make the whole body transparent]

[Surgical evaluation: Black Shadow Jun の transparent world]

Ebizo in the mountains and forests below noticed the stagnation of the figure in the sky, and also took the initiative to stop his pace and observe the other party's movements.

Nara Langui manipulated the [Shadow Creature] and slowly descended to the height.

Ebizo clasped the ninja fan in his hand, resisted the idea of doing it directly, and took the initiative to delay time.

"When did the ninjas of the Nara clan develop this secret technique?"

"Want to stall for your companions?"

Nara Langui understood the other party's plan, raised his right hand, and his fingertips condensed a cloud of Yin Chakra.

"Since when did you come into ...... Can you hold back my delusion? ”

[Shadow Piercing Bullet]!

The pitch-black bullets cut through the night sky, and under the cover of the deep night, its trajectory was extremely difficult to detect.

Knowing that the other party had seen his plan, he also sensed the approaching danger, so he clenched the ninja fan in his hand and unreservedly refined and released his own wind nature chakra.

"Wind Escape, Tornado Hurricane!"

Rumble!

Following the trajectory of the ninja fan, a super-large tornado that stood tall in the sky poured out from in front of Ebizo's body, blocking him horizontally.

The incomparably strong wind force constantly attracts the surrounding material beings, pulling them one by one into the tornado, and then slicing them one by one through the extremely powerful wind blades contained in the tornado.

Nara was also attracted by this powerful tornado.

"The Wind Escape Ninjutsu of Shayin Village is really unique."

He narrowed his eyes.

"But for this kind of sight-occluding ninjutsu...... I love it so much! ”

[Earth Escape: Earth Dragon Hidden Technique]!

The mud under Nara's feet instantly deserted under the action of the earthy chakra, and he sank into the earth, quickly approaching Ebizo after the "tornado" through the shade of the earth.

On the other hand, Ebizo was unaware of Nara's breakthrough route, and he was just constantly wheezing, relieving the strong load on his body.

With Ebizo's age, refining and releasing so many wind nature chakras in one go is really an energy-consuming thing.

"It's just...... This tornado hurricane should be able to withstand the attack of that Konoha ninja, right? ”

Ebizo stared at the tornado, which was still expanding in scope, and his old face was full of solemnity.

"Neither the shadow secret art nor the fire escape ninjutsu can pass through this tornado hurricane......"

That's right.

Suddenly, Ebizo noticed a slight movement coming from underground.

The pupils of this battle-hardened Sand Hidden Shinobi contracted instantly, and a faint shock appeared in his heart.

"Earth Escape Ninjutsu?"

Ebizo was planning to refine the chakra and use the teleportation technique to escape from this location.

But a pitch-black condensed projectile broke through directly from the ground and pierced through Ebizo's shadow without a single loss.

[Spiral Shadow Imitation]!

I saw that in the shadow of Ebizo, a long figure emerged.

Nara Langui's [Shadow Clone] faked his hands and sealed, and through the [Shadow Twisting Technique], he firmly controlled Ebizo, making him unable to move.

Is this how the other side slaughtered the puppet troops just now? ’

Enlightenment appeared in Ebizo's heart, and he planned to continue to stall for time.

"Konoha's—"

Click! Click!

The [Shadow Clone] didn't give the other party time to talk nonsense, and manipulated the powerful [Shadow Twisting Technique] to directly break the arms of this old sand clair, abolishing his most conventional sealing method.

"Shhhh

His arms were broken, and Ebizo gasped, despair in his heart at the same time.

I'm afraid he won't be able to complete his mission......

Another [shadow clone] emerged from the ground, looking at the immobile Ebizo.

After thinking for a moment, he still took the initiative to take out a special pill from the ninja bag and forcibly stuffed it into the other party's mouth.

The Nara clan made a small secret pill dedicated to suppressing and disrupting the refining and use of chakra.

Ebizo, captured alive successfully!

[You have defeated the B-rank Ninja Battle Mission Objective!] 】

[You get a B-rank [Ninja Secret Scroll]! 】

Feeling the complete loss of control of Chakra, Hai Lao's face was like ashes, and the whole person seemed to be more than ten years old in an instant.

But even so, he still did not forget his mission.

This Konoha ninja must be dragged here to buy time for everyone to escape!

"The Nara clan—"

Ebizo intends to provoke Nara to win the show.

"Alright, old man from Sand Hidden Village."

Nara took the initiative to interrupt the other party's words.

"I know you want to buy time for your teammates to escape.

"But your strategy for survival with a severed tail, in my opinion......

"It's just a lingering breath!"
