Konoha Thief

Chapter 39

The numerical superiority of Sand Hidden Ninjas has been highlighted at the beginning of the battle, and it is almost common for Konoha Ninjas to have one against two.

If it weren't for Sand Ninja's general inexperience in actual combat, even if support arrived, it would be difficult for the Konoha Frontier Ninja to last for too long.

But even so, the situation here is still not very optimistic for Konoha's side, it's just that the probability of winning and losing is half and half!

"Water Escape Water Formation Wall!"

Kosuke Maruhoshi released a defensive water escape, cutting a piece of the battle situation, and then took advantage of this opportunity to wield Kunai, and killed a sand ninja who was watching from the side.

Carrying the dying Masashi Sarutobi on his back, Kosuke Maruhoshi blazed a trail and charged towards the nearby Konoha ninja.

"Put me down, I can feel... ahem!"

Lying on Maruyoshi Kosuke's not-so-broad back, Sarutobi Masashi's vision was blurred, halfway through the groaning words, he suddenly coughed violently.

"Don't waste your energy, Captain Sarutobi." Kosuke Maruhoshi was unmoved, his eyes were narrowed slightly, and his previously kind and kind face was also solemn at this moment.

In the chaotic battlefield, there are dangers everywhere. Even the Kage-level powerhouse must be vigilant, and he is still carrying the burden of Sarutobi Mashi, who is seriously injured, so he must be more cautious.

Hirano Yi caught a glimpse of Maruyoshi Kosuke's situation, and immediately broke away from the entangled enemy, and sneaked towards that side under the cover of his companions.

At the same time, without Hirano Giichi's invisible cover, a certain spy started to move.

Since the puppet control is relatively easy, the battle between Xia Shu and the others is not very intense. From this, it can be seen how difficult the puppet technique is, and how a high-quality puppet affects the puppet master's strength.

As for the puppet technique, Xia Shu relied purely on the black rope manipulation technique. In fact, he was only familiar with the eight-legged control method of the puppet. Only when the timing is right can it be effective.

But even so, the four of Xia Shu were still able to protect themselves in the melee.

Xia Shu's fingers moved, and there was a rattling sound from inside the puppet's eight legs, and it suddenly moved out.

The sand ninja who was targeted by him easily escaped the puppet's sharp blade strangling, and before he could sneer sarcastically, he was entangled by the curly black rope that suddenly shot out.

The wind attribute chakra was poured into the black rope smeared with special animal oil, so that its original sharpness was enhanced again, and the sand ninja had time to let out a scream, and the whole head was twisted off!

This kind of tragedy forms a deterrent invisibly. When the sand ninja jonin is busy coping with the attacking front formed by the jnin and zhongnin of the Konoha border troops, unless the ninjutsu who is good at ninjutsu is also besieged by many people , the small group formed around the puppet master Natsuki is almost invincible.

"Something's wrong." Just as the small group was raging, Shirai Yoshihiko, who was on the other side beside Xia Shu, hesitated and whispered.

"What's wrong?" Xia Shu subconsciously pulled the puppet closer, frowned and asked sideways.

He almost knew Yoshihiko Shirai's secret technique ability, so he also had a rough guess about what he was aware of at the moment.

"Someone seems to be spying." Shirai Yoshihiko hesitated, as if he was not very sure.

Xia Shu frowned slightly, glanced at the young man with a weak temperament beside him, didn't say much, but already had some speculations in his heart.

However, before he could take any defensive measures, the mutation happened suddenly!
"Be careful!" Shirai Yoshihiko suddenly felt an unprecedented coldness and murderous intent, even though he didn't know where the crisis came from, he hurriedly screamed to remind him.

It's just that the spy obviously has a vigorous temperament. Even if he doesn't know the secret technique mastered by Yoshihiko Shirai, the moment the murderous intention is revealed is still a time of trouble!
Boom! !
There was a sudden change in the grass under the feet, and suddenly the ground where the four-person team was located was surrounded by dirt, and the grass was lifted up in pieces, and it rushed towards the four people like dumplings!

"It's a puppet!" Xia Chuan exclaimed looking at the restless feet.

Ka Ka Ka! !

The puppet seemed to be a trap at this moment, and Xia Shu and the others were trapped beasts about to be caught, and the sudden change caught them off guard.

Xia Shu's spirit trembled, and he immediately abandoned the puppet's eight legs, and quickly formed seals with both hands.

Substitute!
With a bang, the mouth of the huge puppet closed like a beast, followed by a scream, and Xiachuan, who jumped up and tried to escape, exposed half of his body from the huge puppet, only from the outer wall of the puppet mixed with the smell of mud. Judging by the bright red blood flowing down, not only did he fail to escape, but he died directly!
"Hmph! Can you escape?"

A cold sneer came, Xia Shu immediately followed the reputation, and then his pupils constricted.

The puppet fell obliquely on the grass in sight with eight legs, and several sharp limbs pierced the ground, only half of them were exposed.

The other party is a puppet master, and if he appears there again at this moment, isn't he going to be an enemy? !

This can't be done!
A thought flashed in Xia Shu's mind, and he immediately tried to remedy it.

It's just that he didn't know that the opponent's target was that puppet.

Chi Chi! ~
The black rope and the chakra line were entangled outside the line of sight, and then flashed into the intersection of the line of sight during the tense process. The straight line between the two points was the shortest, which was verified at this moment.

"Hehe! Speaking of this kind of method, as a ninja other than Sand Hidden, you little brat is also worthy of pride!"

The words of Shayin Jōnin puppet master Shanxiabu were praises, but his expression was arrogance and contempt.

This gesture made Xia Shu couldn't help frowning, he didn't have Madara's ability, but showed Madara's arrogance, did he plan to dance?
Chi la!

Xia Shu snorted coldly, and the wind attribute chakra was poured into the black rope instantly, cutting off the intertwined chakra lines, exposed from the stealth state, sprinting towards the eight-legged puppet like a nimble snake.

"Hmph! Make an inch!"

An unexpected look flashed across Shanxiabu's face, but he didn't fight any more. Instead, he flicked the little finger of his left hand, which had been bent in the palm of his hand, and the chakra lines hidden deep underground in the dark immediately exerted a pulling effect.

call! !

There was a whistling wind behind him, and there was a dull scream, as if the cry was blocked by an obstacle.

Xia Shu didn't turn his head back, and immediately jumped sideways quickly, the invisible wind stirred the hair on the side of the ear, and in the corner of his eyes, a huge puppet whizzed past, and Shimokawa's tragic death was also blurred.

The toes touched the ground, Xia Shu stepped back several steps, and the giant puppet was activated, shooting out a bunch of arrows!
"Wind Escape·Beast Wave Palm!"

Although it was an expected situation, Xia Shu lacked the means to deal with it. He could only release a move to use the Wind Escape Technique, which was only effective in close combat, to blow away the arrows that came through the air.

But at the same time, the black rope was finally connected to the eight-legged puppet!
"Puppet Art · Mechanism Burst!"
