Dancer of Konoha

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

"Wind Escape Great Breakthrough!"

A fiercely burning fireball descended on the two sound ninjas. The fire took advantage of the wind and the sudden spread of the fireball instantly swallowed up a sound ninja who could not dodge, and the screams broke through the sky.

"Shikamaru! Stop standing still! Run!!"

While shouting, a sparrow suddenly appeared and jumped towards another sound ninja. She clearly knew the ninjutsu, and of course she couldn't compete with a chuunin.

so! Let’s see who is more desperate!

"asshole!"

The sound ninja, who was almost killed in the ninjutsu, opened his eyes ferociously, and hit the bird's chest and abdomen with a powerful, heavy whip and leg blow.

However, the strange masked ninja in front of him did not fly backwards as he had imagined. Instead, he held on to his legs while his internal organs were severely damaged.

The sound ninja felt a sharp pain coming over him. A weird-shaped kunai suddenly appeared in his thigh artery, and blood spurted out uncontrollably!

"Bastard! Go to hell!"

The frightened and angry Sound Ninja struck hard with his knee again, knocking the bird away far away.

However, this time, Taku could no longer hold on to the sound-nin's body and fell heavily in front of Nara Shikamaru.

The dust stirred and the broken leaves flew.

"bird!"

Nara Shikamaru ran over without a sound. Blood and internal organs continued to leak out from under the demon mask, and his sternum was completely sunken.

"useless......"

Watching Nara Shikamaru trying to save himself, Que shook his head with difficulty.

"Quick...run...deer...you...we...are...different..."

"Goodbye! Goodbye!"

Nara Shikamaru trembled with his hands as he lifted off Sparrow's mask. Behind the mask was a girl about his age who was smiling hard at him.

"Hold on! Sparrow! The Nara family has medicine! It can save you! Hold on!"

"My... name is... Yayoi... survive..."

Seeing Nara Shikamaru's uncontrollable tears, the corners of Que's blood-covered mouth raised a smile of satisfaction, and his palms dropped weakly.

Nara Shikamaru took a deep breath, as if he wanted something, but the tears on his face had already sealed his trembling mouth.

The pain in his heart made Nara Shikamaru clench his teeth, and the anger of hatred surged in his eyes.

"what!!!"

With a roar, Nara Shikamaru pulled out the kunai behind him, and Nara Shikamaru rushed towards the sound nin who pulled out the kunai and fell to the ground, wailing in pain.

"Asshole! You scum deserve to die!"

"Fire Escape Dragon Fire Technique!"

"Heart!"

A black shadow suddenly appeared, pulled Nara Shikamaru around and shot out.

A scorching explosion exploded violently behind Nara Shikamaru. The turbulent burst of air blew the two of them away, hit the tree trunk, and fell heavily.

"Ahem, are you okay?"

A familiar voice came, and Nara Shikamaru, who had experienced a moment of life and death, stared blankly at the root that rescued him.

The hot-blooded mind just now calmed down unconsciously. This is how sad it is to be smart. Your brain will give you a plan that is most beneficial to you as soon as possible.

However, at this moment, this was not what Nara Shikamaru wanted.

"You...are a badger?"

"You still remember me, ahem, that's great..."

Under the evil ghost mask, a mouthful of dark red reverse blood seeped out. Badger looked at the two sound ninjas walking towards them and asked in a low voice:

"Do you still have the detonator charm?"

"There are three more..."

Nara Shikamaru took out the detonating talisman in confusion and secretly handed it to the badger's hand.

"Ha, not bad."

Under Nara Shikamaru's horrified eyes, the badger stuck the detonating talisman to his back which already had two detonating talismans.

"What are you doing!"

In disbelief, Nara Shikamaru grabbed the badger's arm tightly, and in just a moment he thought of what the badger wanted to do.

"Of course we're going to kill the enemy. If we kill two at a time, we can sacrifice one less person. I'll hold them back! You hurry up and leave!"

"don't want......"

Before Nara Shikamaru could finish, the badger took out his kunai and shot it out, leaving only a very calm sentence.

"It's time for me to accompany Yayoi. Remember...my name is Mezuru!"

"boom!"

After a brief entangled confrontation, under Nara Shikamaru's sad and dull eyes, the badger and the two sound ninjas turned into a ball of violent explosions of fire, with their remaining limbs scattered everywhere.

"Why...Mijing..."

In fact, Nara Shikamaru knew the answer, but he was unwilling to face what was happening in front of him.

As a genin, it is almost impossible to survive under the siege of a group of chunin.

And these roots are seeking to live in death, but the only thing he doesn't understand is what makes them regard death as home.

He who has lived in a peaceful environment since birth cannot understand.

Nara Shikamaru slowly opened his eyes and looked, and he was even more cruel to the enemy's base. He actually frightened a group of chuunin to retreat. Behind the evil ghost mask was a calm madness.

The roots that were exchanging names with him before were now surrounded by many people, and some of them even couldn't even see their complete skeletons.

"Aren't you leaving yet?"

"Sai?"

There was another familiar voice. Nara Shikamaru raised his head in surprise. A root was walking towards him staggeringly. The strange kunai in his hand was dripping with blood. The sound ninja who was still wailing on the ground before was already alive. Nothing.

"It seems that the finches and badgers have been sacrificed..."

There was a hint of darkness in Sai's eyes, but he regained his composure when he looked at Nara Shikamaru.

"It's good that you're alive, but it's time for you to go."

"Saui, tell me what the bird said! Who are you! Why did you risk your life to save me! Isn't your life life?"

"As for the bird..."

Facing Nara Shikamaru, whose eyes were red and his expression seemed to be a little broken, Sai tilted his head in confusion.

"It's not that we risk our lives to save you, we are just protecting Konoha and completing the mission of Yan Yan Da Rao. As for the bird...you are indeed different from us. You still have a family, so you have to live well."

"You are a life too, and you also have the right to live!"

Nara Shikamaru was so sad that his heart almost hurt so much that he couldn't breathe. Sai's words were plain, but he could clearly feel the envy and affection of the bird.

"We are the roots, the roots of Konoha. It is our responsibility to keep you, the branches and leaves, alive."

Sai shook his head and walked past Nara Shikamaru. Several reinforcements from Oto Nin appeared in his field of vision. It was time for him to assist his companions.

"I am not attached to the beauty of life, nor am I afraid of the pain of death."

"I don't care how powerful the enemy in front of me is, nor do I envy my robe under the sun."

"The blade is my punishment, the kunai is my protection."

"My faith comes from blood and killing, and my strength turns into rage and death."

"Even if I fall, I will have no regrets. The pure land is on the left, and the roots are on the right."

"I swear, unless you step on my body, you will never go any further!"

Nara Shikamaru looked at the muttering in Sai's mouth in astonishment. It was like a curse. Every time he uttered another word, the tragic meaning in him became more intense. Every time he said more words, the eyes behind the mask became more and more crazy.

"Come on, Shikamaru, don't let our sacrifice be in vain..."

The strong wind swept by, Saoi disappeared, and Nara Shikamaru slowly stood up. Only eight of the original twenty Genji were left at this time. Facing the dozen of sound ninja who came for reinforcements again, they were not afraid, and It was while reciting what Sai said to himself before.

"I swear, unless you step on my body, you will never go any further!"

Hearing the cruel words of determination from their mouths, Nara Shikamaru hated his own mind extremely at this moment, and his reason kept trying to persuade him to leave for various reasons.

"I...I can't accept it."

Nara Shikamaru, whose eyes were red, seemed to be venting his anger and quickly shot in the direction of the remaining roots.

"It's easy for you to die, but why should I bear the pain of living!"
