Konoha Thief

Chapter 37 The decisive battle is coming
Under Xia Shu's suggestion, Genin, who had experienced a frightening battle, stopped and rested on the spot to recover.

The departure of the two Chunin did not have any impact, and the enemies behind them were also dragged by Sarutobi Masashi to resist, which temporarily relieved their tense nerves.

Xia Shu swallowed a Bingliang Pill. This recovery medicine made from irritating herbs tasted very strong. He was anxious before so he forcibly endured it, but now he had time to take a few mouthfuls of water.

"Everyone, restore your strength quickly, there may be battles next."

Xia Shu glanced at the ninjas and couldn't help reminding.

Including him and Kuno Kuroyu here, there are seven ninjas in total. The long-haired ninjas in the three-person team are seriously injured. Even if the support returns, they will not be able to fight anymore, so there is still power left six.

And the reason for reminding him like this is not that he noticed anything, but just to prevent the enemy from chasing up.

Masashi Sarutobi's strength may be extraordinary, but Natsuki thinks that he is still inferior to Kosuke Maruyoshi, so even Kosuke Maruyoshi failed to stop the enemy, which made him have to make some preparations.

I just don't know how effective his reminder will be. After all, not only he and Kuno Kuroyu, but also the other ninjas don't seem to have much combat experience. They are in a state of lingering fear at the moment. Even if their strength is very strong, they may not be able to display it. Come eight.

He didn't say anything more, Kuno Heiyu beside him seemed to be affected by the previous battle, so he was very quiet at the moment, which was a bit inconsistent with his previous noisy temperament, but Xia Shu enjoyed this rare peace.

What's more, he still plans to participate in the next battle, so naturally he has to hurry up to recover.

Shen sinks his heart to feel the black hole where the 'Dimensional Thief' activates the energy, and successively kills the chakras of the enemy's looting, which has added a bottom to this deep pit.

Based on this estimate, with the following ninjas as the base, about eighteen or nineteen of them need to be killed to save enough for the next activation of the 'Dimensional Thief'.

However, this is only a rough estimate. Although the energy consumed by the 'Dimensional Thief' has been increasing, there is no regular pattern, so it is difficult to figure out how it is, and it can only be estimated.

After confirming this, Xia Shu put it aside. After all, it is of no help to the current situation and can only be used as a long-term plan.

"Huh? Are you back?"

After a long time, Xia Shu got up and raised his eyes, and gestured to the other jinnin, reminding them to be prepared, although the coming people came from the direction where the chunin left before, it would not be wrong to be more vigilant .

After all, there was no unexpected situation. The mediocre-looking Chunin appeared first. Perhaps to avoid trouble, he and the other Chunin rushed to the front and waved when they saw this side.

"senior?"

Xia Shu glanced at the support troops, there were eight teams in total, and since the front line was mobilized, this was already nearly half of the troops on the frontier.

What made Natsuki especially feel at ease was that the leading ninjas of two of the teams were Jonin!
This kind of force is still inferior to the enemy's, but the gap in combat experience is enough to make up for the deficiency. At this moment, Xia Shu has no worries about this sudden battle that spanned dozens of miles.

Just because, this battle is sure to win!
"Can you fight again?"

The mediocre Chunin looked at Xia Shudao seriously.

"of course."

Xia Shu nodded without hesitation.

"Ah."

The Chunin nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at the other Genin, and said in a serious tone: "The injured and those who have not recovered their physical strength will stay automatically. The next battle is very dangerous. It is very serious to lose your life or become a drag on your companions." the result of!"

The words were a little cold, but they were undoubtedly true. The ninjas hesitated for a moment, and each made a decision.

The Chunin nodded in satisfaction. Although there were only three people left including the young man who could control the puppet, after the previous battle, there were still some strength left, so that's it.

"I hope you will not become a drag, so, act according to the command."

He exhorted again solemnly.

"Yes!"

Natsuki, Kuno Kuroyu, and another [-] or [-]-year-old ninja responded in unison.

"Follow closely!"

A stern-looking senior ninja let out a cold cry, and then stepped forward.

"When the battle starts later, you can follow my team closely, brats."

Hirano Yiichi was also in the support team, came to Xia Shu's side and patted his shoulder, grinning heartily and said.

"Then thank you Hirano-senpai."

Xia Shu thanked with a smile, and seemed to glance at Kuno Heiyu casually, who was startled for a moment, but then understood.

Obviously, in the ensuing battle, the familiar Hirano squad could be their reliance.

As for the other chunin who chose to follow in the battle, he had already followed the mediocre chunin, and they were part of a small team.

Supporting ninjas rushed across the wilderness in groups, setting off a gust of howling wind. This undisguised attack made the blocked siege rhythm stagnate.

Mashi Sarutobi took advantage of the opportunity to dodge the assassination by the sharp blade manipulated by the puppet technique, and from the corner of his eyes, he caught the support that finally arrived. His tense nerves subconsciously relaxed, but his lacking body suddenly broke out, and he almost fell down immediately.

To be able to be promoted to a johnin, of course, he has experienced a lot of battles, and he has also been on the front line, but he has never experienced the situation of isolation and helplessness just like before. There was an unpredictable puppeteer peeping in every corner, and he managed to persevere with several wounds on his body and shattered arm bones.

The arrival of Maruhoshi Kosuke lifted his spirits, and he became more vigilant against the defense. Now that the support arrived, he was preparing to fight back and vent his depression.

Unfortunately, the state does not allow it.

The chakra consumption was almost zero, and the injuries left by the wounds on the body were not fatal, but they had a great impact. If Maruhoshi Kosuke was not by his side, he might have died in the siege at this moment.

"Enemy attack! Prepare to meet the enemy!!"

Sano raised his voice to remind all the ninjas.

Shanxiabu withdrew its long and narrow offensive and sneak attack puppet sand lizard, looked at the approaching enemy with a cruel sneer on the corner of its mouth.

The puppet Eight Legs he wants may be among them!
Seeing that the collision between the two sides was about to erupt, Sano gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, quickly formed seals on his hands, and glanced at Tsudun Kami nobu who had lost his left arm by his side, and the latter immediately nodded obediently.

Maruhoshi Kosuke's narrowed eyes were shining with a cold light, and his face, which had turned from a prime of life to an old age, could not help showing a look of exhaustion. The arrival of support made him feel relieved, but at this moment, he suddenly felt inexplicably terrified. The cold murderous intent invaded the body!
