Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 280 The Seventh Split

After all, the Xiao organization has been lurking in the dark for many years. Not only has it recruited many strong men who can run rampant in the ninja world, it has also done a lot of intelligence work.

In the original book, at the meeting of Five Kages, Tsuchikage Ryoko Onogi admitted that he had hired Akatsuki to do things in Yanyin Village. It can be seen from its energy that Akatsuki has already become an underground armed force that cannot be ignored by the Five Ninja Villages. And when Payne was the leader, the Super S-class wanted criminals from various ninja villages in Akatsuki's organization identified their targets and launched operations, and the efficiency was unimaginable.

Gaara managed to regain her own life at the sacrifice of Chiyo's mother-in-law, but compared to Gaara who still has a layer of Kazekage identity, other Jinchurikis are not so lucky.

When Shikamaru used the "ghoul ban" to capture the eight tails, he didn't take out all the chakra in Kirabi's body, so this weird ninja who likes to sing and sing can still survive, but Payne's purpose is to kill the tailed beast. The power is completely absorbed, so naturally it will not leave any way for Zhuli to survive.

However, in more than a month, many renzhuriki have been brutally murdered, including a brief confrontation with Shikamaru, the second-tailed "Yu Lu" of Yunyin Village, the two Yumuren; the wild tailed beast Sanwei "Iso" Fu"; Renzhuli Lao Zi of the four-tailed "Monkey King" from Yanyin Village, and Renzhuli of the five-tailed "Mu Wang" from the same village as Laozi, Han.

Even so, Payne and other members of Xiao's organization gradually began to speed up the speed of catching tailed beasts. In the original book, it was not until Kirabi was attacked that the Five Kages held a meeting to discuss matters together. As a rebellious ninja, he is already extremely slow because of the lack of information. If Payne plans to catch them one by one slowly, I am afraid that halfway through the ceremony, he will face the danger of being besieged by the five major ninja villages at the same time.

Xiaonan looked at Nagato worriedly, and only when facing this companion who grew up together, would she withdraw her indifferent expression when facing outsiders.

Nagato’s condition is very poor. To use the Phantom Dragon Nine Seals, it takes three days and three nights to continuously supply chakra without stopping. Even if there are other partners in the organization to share the pressure, it is still not an easy job. The already weak body of the door caused a great burden.

His body was thin and thin, his face was pale, without a trace of blood, and he looked very tired, only his eyes still contained an unspeakable look.

"Nagato, are you going now?" Xiao Nanxiu frowned slightly, pursed her lips, and said worriedly.

"Yugao has already left Wuyin Village. He is a traitor and his whereabouts are erratic. If you don't act as soon as possible, it will take time to find him." Nagato's voice was a little hoarse, and he seemed very weak: "I know you are worried What, Xiao Nan, I will send Hungry Ghost Dao, Animal Dao, Shura Dao and Tian Dao to act together, and it will not fail."

"No, you will not fail, Nagato, you are invincible!" Hearing this, Xiaonan said seriously to Nagato: "I am just a little worried about your body."

"It's okay, Xiaonan." Compared with Xiaonan's worries, Nagato himself looked calm and calm, as if he didn't care about his health.

The sequence of personnel to catch the tailed beasts has already been established, and Nagato is unwilling to break the rules he made.

…………

The war in Tianzhi Country is in full swing, but the army led by Uesugi Qingji has achieved an absolute advantage. When the ninja power protecting the old forces is blocked by Shikamaru, the weak nature of these so-called nobles is immediately exposed, even if Uesugi Qingji The army he led was far from outstanding. Facing this kind of enemy, he actually had a somewhat unstoppable momentum.

It’s just that this kind of result was also expected by Shikamaru. With the backing of Yijia priests, the death rate of Qingji Uesugi’s army was greatly reduced, and the growth rate of veterans was so fast that the combat power doubled. Naturally, it is not comparable to the enemy. Shikamaru now has more important things to deal with.

For example, helping Ri Xiangning come into contact with the curse seal of "Bird in a Cage".

The tingling pain from the metal needle piercing the skin is nothing compared to the freedom you are about to get. The long-awaited wish is about to be seen, which makes Ri Xiang Ningci feel a little uneasy, staring straight at the liquid in the needle tube Inject into the body.

To solve the threat of the caged bird, it is very simple. The easiest way is to block the connection between the curse seal and the outside world. The curse seal still exists, but even if the clan recites various spells, the curse seal will not respond. This method It is not difficult for Shikamaru today.

Or to block the influence of the curse seal on the body of the subject. The bird in the cage is also a kind of seal technique. It is not a time bomb. A few lines can have an effect, and it uses Chakra to achieve the effect. The subject refines a certain amount of chakra in the body, and after being affected, it destroys the subject's brain and optic nerves, making people miserable. In Shikamaru's view, this behavior is worse than putting a collar on someone's neck .

For Shikamaru, who has become more and more thorough in the study of the three major energies, the "caged bird" is not incomprehensible, and it is not even difficult to say. For several generations of the Rixiang family, no one outside has bothered to study the caged bird and other energies. The way to crack it is simply because they don't want to infringe on the interests of the clan that controls the Sun Xiang clan.

Rixiang Neji's body does not reject Senjujujian's cells very much, and Shikamaru temporarily needs Mutun's signboard, and will not transplant Senjujujian's cells into other people's bodies for the time being, so what he injects for Neji now is The cells taken from Zhongwu, together with the power of the white snake from Orochimaru, will also greatly increase Neji's strength.

The power of the "curse seal" improved by the two generations of Orochimaru and Shikamaru is still quite dangerous, especially for the perception and manipulation of natural energy. Natural energy will inevitably have side effects.

On Ri Xiangningci's skin, long and thin black lines soon appeared, covering his whole body at an extremely fast speed. Shikamaru could feel that the natural energy was being continuously absorbed by his body, but But it can't reach a good balance with physical and mental energy.

Seeing this, Shikamaru unhurriedly pointed at Ningji's brows. Taking advantage of the chaos of the three energies in the other party's body, so that the birds in the cage fluctuated, he controlled the natural energy to quickly cut and replace the sealing technique and the direction of the sun. The connection between Neji's chakras helps ri channel uncontrolled natural energies towards Neji, striking the core of the caged bird with their power.

"Woo..." Rixiang Ningci snorted, with a look of pain on his face. The power of the bird in the cage is very vicious. If you want to completely eliminate the traces of the bird in the cage, it will inevitably cause some damage to the body. The structure of the human brain is complicated and complex. Exquisite, a slight mistake may cause great harm, if Shikamaru is not proficient in medical ninjutsu, and the chakra control skills are very good, I dare not say that I am completely sure to do this step, and constantly control the energy recovery of the body Concerned about the injury in Ningci's mind.

After a while, the black lines on Ri Xiangningji's body due to the power of the curse had dissipated, Shikamaru just retracted his right hand, seeing Ri Xiangning's eyes opened, he was relieved.

Rixiang Ningci, who opened his eyes, looked exhausted, but at the first moment, he joined his fingers together to run the chakra, so that there were raised meridians on both sides of his eyes, and his gray eyes were like broken jade, and he kept bowing his head. Looking at the body, a smile appeared on the corner of the mouth, unable to hide his joy.

Since childhood, the oppressive feeling of being pinched by others because of his life has finally disappeared. He doesn't have to worry about some ninja from the Japanese clan who doesn't like him relying on caged birds to torture him, and he doesn't have to worry about a certain day I was suddenly told that I had to sacrifice for the clan and there was no room for resistance.

"How is it?" Shikamaru sat and watched the sun and tasted the fruit of joy to Neji, and after a while, he asked aloud: "Do you have any bad feelings?"

"No!" Rixiang Ningci clenched his fists tightly, and he seemed to be able to feel a stronger force than ever, which was continuously gushing out of his body.

Ri glanced at Shikamaru to Neji, and then quickly retracted his gaze. Shikamaru's body was in his vision, just like a small sun, and the chakra was so huge that it even made Ri Xiang Ningji have a dazzling look. illusion.

"This method of getting rid of the 'caged bird' seems very difficult and complicated?" Ri Xiang Ningci gradually calmed down, and then began to think about more things. Thinking of the previous situation, he couldn't help asking with a frown.

"No, if it is not necessary to completely eliminate the traces of the sealing technique, it is not difficult. As long as the control methods of the clan are invalidated, the sealing technique will lose its effect." Shikamaru shook his head and replied: "I know you want to let the branch family ninjas are no longer bothered by the 'caged bird', but you have to think about the consequences of doing so."

The clan of the vested beneficiaries will certainly not ignore it, and the sub-family controlled by the caged bird is almost like a servant of the clan. They will not let the sub-family ninja free so easily. The division of the clan... and even a big war.

"I'm fed up with a life where life and death depend on others, and I believe the same is true for other people who are separated." Ri Xiang Neji replied without hesitation: "There is nothing to hesitate."

Shikamaru smiled silently.
