Konoha Thief

Chapter 29 Kosuke
Natsuki, who was fleeing desperately, had no way of knowing the error in Sano's thinking. Even if he knew, he didn't have time to think about it.

But if he thinks about it, he will definitely sigh for his plan, because no matter what the actual situation is, his strategy can continue. The only difference is that the original surprise attack has become an encounter.

It's just obvious that compared with Sano, who is gathering elites, Masashi Sarutobi, who is concerned about the overall situation, must be less prepared. The next encounter will probably be a fierce battle!
The enemies behind were biting their tails tightly. Xia Shu knew he was a burden, but after all he had no determination to sacrifice himself for others. This caused him and Kosuke Maruyoshi to be gradually chased up by the enemy, and they were already within the striking distance of hidden weapons.

"Xia Shu-kun, form a line, come to me!"

Kosuke Maruyoshi noticed this, and immediately slowed down his pace slightly, and said in a low voice with his head tilted.

Natsuki naturally had no intention of refuting this, the chakra under his feet was aroused slightly, the speed suddenly increased, and he came to the front of Kosuke Maruhoshi.

The sound of clanging gold and iron clashing immediately rang out.

"Senior Gu Jie, what shall we do?"

Xia Shu frowned and asked urgently.

The enemy chased after him, but Gennosuke Aoki was nowhere to be seen, and he couldn't help feeling depressed. The only thing he could rely on at this moment was the strongest ninja behind him.

He probably knows the strength level of Maruyoshi Kosuke, and now that he is at the peak of his physique, it is not a problem to deal with three or five jounin.

It's just a guess after all, it's just a guess, but it's not sure whether Kosuke Maruyoshi can cope with the current situation. Xia Shu pondered for a long time in his heart, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Xia Shu-jun, don't stop, keep running, I will buy time for you!"

Maruyoshi Kosuke responded solemnly, before he paused for a moment, he continued: "Captain Sarutobi's support is almost here."

There seemed to be an unfinished meaning in these words, but Maruyoshi Kosuke spoke vaguely, but Xia Shu could understand.

It's just that he's not quite sure what Maruyoshi Kosuke's words imply, whether he is a drag that hinders the opponent, or whether Maruyoshi Kosuke is not sure of winning, so he mentioned Sarutobi Mashi.

But in any case, Natsuki doesn't seem to have a second choice.

"Senior Gusuke!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!"

Kosuke Maruhoshi let out a low cry, the speed of his feet increased suddenly, he stretched out his hand and lifted Natsuki up, his body was lightly lifted from the ground to his arms, he twisted his waist and exerted force, and threw Natsuki who was caught off guard into the air!
Seeing this, Sano, who was chasing and biting, immediately threw a flying shot, but was intercepted by a jumping figure, with a jingling sound, and the stew pot became a target for a while.

"He's carrying the pot, idiot! Rush up!"

Sano tossed two kunai in a row, and immediately realized the problem, and angrily scolded the subordinates beside him.

Seeing this, the two Chunin were eager to express themselves, stopped throwing and rushed up.

Ding!when!
Two crisp sounds rose and fell, and Kosuke Maruyoshi rolled on the spot, his movement was slightly awkward but extremely fast, and this move was not retreating but advancing, the two Chunin were still surprised and doubtful, and the sword light suddenly appeared , flashed between the two Chunin like light and shadow!
laugh!laugh!
"Konoha Ryu · Raccoon Slash!"

With a click of the Ninja Knife, Kosuke Maruyoshi knelt down and stood firm, his eyes were slightly opened, and a chilling light flashed faintly.

Seeing this, Sano's pupils constricted for a moment, and Dang Li ordered: "All Junin come together! Detour and pursue!"

After the words fell, he immediately started to move, following in the footsteps of the five Jonin subordinates.

"Konoha Ryu · Willow!"

Maruyoshi Kosuke held the sword by his side, facing the menacing enemy, his expression was solemn and calm, and he whispered a word in his seal, swinging his arms leisurely, the slender ninja sword was like a willow branch by the embankment...

"uh-huh!"

With a muffled grunt, Kosuke Maruyoshi swung his knife, and the sharp blade easily cut the throat of a Jōnin.

"It's illusion!"

Sano woke up suddenly, yelled loudly to remind him, and disturbed his own chakra by forming seals with both hands, breaking the illusion.

"Remove them all! Change to the puppet master!"

Sano may not have enough combat experience, but he can still analyze the obvious situation at this moment.

Maruyoshi Kosuke slashed in the air with his sword, and heard Sano's shout, but he was not anxious. Instead, he stabbed the sword into the ground casually, grabbed the kunai shuriken and threw it, his hands quickly formed seals.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

The thrown concealed weapon was immediately copied like a reflection, and in the blink of an eye, it shot towards Sano and the others like a net.

"Earth Escape Earth Formation Wall!"

Shouting like a roar, a burly man among the four retreating jonin was shocked, and quickly formed seals to release the earth escape defense.

A solid earth wall rose from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, it was inlaid with a hidden weapon, and under the ravages of hidden weapons like stacked clouds, it was developing towards the trend of collapse!

"Puppet Art Shield Five!"

The puppet master Jonin quickly took over, and the five puppets stretched their limbs, spliced ​​together and turned into a huge arc-shaped shield, and ruthlessly inserted into the grass!
Sano hastily folded his body and flew to hide in the shield, his face was livid, and he gave the ninja who escaped from the soil beside him with a wink.

The latter immediately used Earth Dungeon to sink into the ground, and fled in the direction of Maruyoshi Kosuke.

At the same time, those ninjas who took a detour were also under the care of Maruyoshi Kosuke intentionally or unintentionally, and lost several people. Other than that, they were only minor injuries that did not hinder them, and continued to move towards the small road that fled to the distance. The figure chased after him.

Seeing this, Kosuke Maruhoshi prayed secretly in his heart, and then turned to the enemy in front of him with a serious expression.

After the swarm-like hidden weapons were destroyed, two of the puppet master's solid puppet shields were damaged, and the remaining three were also damaged.

Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu is an A-level ninjutsu created by Ninuo Sarutobi Hiruzen. It is really powerful. The defensive puppets manipulated by the puppeteer are obviously standard goods. It is their skillful manipulation to be able to survive a wave. .

"Shanyou, Chengguang!"

In order to step out of the barrier of the puppet shield, Sano looked gloomy and glanced at the two Jonin beside him.

Of course, the two knew what Sano meant, and without hesitation, they jumped out of the scope of the arc-shaped giant shield from left to right. The upper ninja named Shanyou was like a torrential rain, and the upper ninja named Chengguang took the opportunity to form seals Unleash ninjutsu.

"Fire Escape · Flying Sand Fire Escape!"

The Fire Escape Technique was released four times, but the angle was quite strange, it rushed obliquely towards the ground, setting off a burst of noisy flying sand, like a sand python turning over and sweeping towards Kosuke Maruhoshi.

Maruyoshi Kosuke swung the knife repeatedly, and knocked down the shooting Kunai with a clanging sound. Facing the fierce Huodun, he slightly lowered his head and glanced at the ground.

Boom! ~
Huo Dun rushed over, and the scorching flames made the air emit a pungent smell.

"Done?"

Sano, who was staring there, frowned and whispered, not sure.
