Dancer of Konoha

Black clouds float in the night sky, and the moonlight comes and goes.

Accompanied by the rushing sound of grass blades rubbing against each other, the figures of Sora and Asimaban quickly moved across the vast green field.

"Damn it, I should have thought of it earlier! These scum!"

Nara Shikamaru, who was following Sora closely, had annoyance in his eyes. He was so obsessed with the strange appearance of the corpse that he completely ignored the murderer's overall plan.

Obviously at this moment, the defense force of the Fire Temple is extremely weak, and the ninjas at the Konoha post cannot quickly return reinforcements. This is the best time for the murderer to attack.

"Brother said that the only truth is...oh, no, the murderer's ultimate goal is the remains of the ninjas at the Fire Temple."

Sora's words still echoed in Asuma Sarutobi's ears, and past memories surged up uncontrollably, deeply hurting his heart.

The remains of the ninjas at the Fire Temple undoubtedly refer to the companions who guarded the Twelve Ninja Warriors.

Unlike ordinary people, the corpses of ninjas hide too many secrets.

Not to mention that as the son of the Third Hokage, Asuma Sarutobi knew clearly that there were not many secret techniques for using corpses like the Reincarnation of the Earth, but it was not impossible.

"Bei Gen, Nan Wu, Dong Mao, Xi Du..."

Sarutobi Asuma's eyes became colder and colder when he looked at Fire Temple, and the speed of his feet became faster and faster.

"Boom!"

Just when everyone was about to arrive at the Temple of Fire, there was a sudden explosion from the cliff in the northwest, smoke and dust filled the air, and there was a faint sound of fierce shouting and pursuit.

"They are the ninja monks from the Fire Temple, and there are four others whose identities are unknown!"

Yamanaka Ino immediately activated the perception ninjutsu.

Under the solemn gazes of everyone, four figures stepped on brown-black coffins and broke through the smoke and dust. They hit the grass and shot out quickly, leaving four deep skid marks.

The enemies who were tightly wrapped in bamboo hats and cloaks obviously also discovered the existence of Asimaban and Sora, and the deep malice as if they were real made Sora throw out the hook in his sleeves.

Suddenly, a very familiar gaze broke into Sora's eyes, and his internal organs twitched violently as if out of control.

"impossible......"

Kong stared at the figure absently, his fingertips trembling slightly, and the hook that slipped out of his sleeves fell heavily to the ground.

"Sora, you..."

Ino Yamanaka, who noticed something strange about Sora for the first time, was about to ask something, when a loud shout came from afar and interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Konoha's! Stop them quickly!"

"It's the voice of Dilu!"

Sarutobi Asuma's expression darkened, and he immediately made a gesture and led everyone to rush forward. Only Sora remained in place with a dazed look on his face, as if he had lost his soul and was bloodless.

Realizing that there was someone blocking them in front of them, the speed of the four coffins did not slow down at all. Instead, they violently crashed into the Asimaban people at a faster speed.

"No matter who you are..."

Sarutobi Asuma's face was gloomy. The enemy was obviously not weak in strength. To ensure that in case he had to endure the pain, he could only destroy the corpses of his former companions here. It was better than being coveted and having no peace.

Yawen Bar

"Fire escape · Ash accumulation burns!"

A thick black smoke instantly flooded the area directly in front of Sarutobi Asma, but the four figures on the coffin seemed to be extremely familiar with Sarutobi Asma's unique ninjutsu.

Before the black smoke could completely spread, he used earth escape to quickly sneak into the ground with the coffin.

"Chouji! Ino! Come closer to me!"

Nara Shikamaru looked shocked and hurriedly shouted to the two people behind him.

His thoughts flashed like lightning. Different from the concealment of ordinary stealth and earth escape, Nara Shikamaru noticed that the vibrations under his feet became more and more intense, like a demonstration, extremely rampant.

Obviously, the unidentified enemy in front of them is confident and has already figured out Sarutobi Asuma's identity, and has one or even several sets of combat plans waiting for them to disrupt their position.

The Ino Shika Butterfly formation is still very immature now, and Nara Shikamaru understands that once the enemy breaks out from the center of the formation, even Sarutobi Asuma may not be able to protect them completely.

I saw Akimichi Choji protecting Yamanaka Ino and leaving the place. At the same time, four coffins fiercely broke through the ground like sharp vertebrae. Along with the joking laughter, the afterimages of the coffins also shot out.

"so close!"

Sarutobi Asuma's heart palpitated but he quickly calmed down. He turned around to protect Ino Shikacho, who was closely leaning against each other, and secretly looked at the figure in front of him.

If Nara Shikamaru hadn't reacted quickly, the enemy would have intercepted the four of them immediately and surrounded and eliminated Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino.

Just send two people to hold him and Nara Shikamaru away, and I believe the battle will be over in just a few breaths...

Four coffins stood side by side, standing solemnly like a wall in the vast wilderness.

At this moment, Jilu and several ninja monks from the Fire Temple also rushed over. They briefly met Sarutobi Asuma's eyes, and then knowingly dispersed the ninja monks behind him, forming a siege.

"Although it's a little early, it's a moment not to be missed for the Fire Nation."

As a slightly familiar voice sounded from behind the coffin, three people walked out from behind the coffin and looked at Sarutobi Asuma with a playful look.

Sarutobi Asuma and Chiriku frowned tightly and stared at the figure that did not appear behind the coffin. For a moment, they couldn't remember where they heard it.

The voice is very gentle, like the uncle next door saying hello, which makes people feel warm without realizing it.

However, Kong Wensheng, who was standing aside, suddenly trembled all over, slowly came back to his senses, and stared at the invisible figure behind the coffin.

"Tu Dun·Promising transformation!"

The other party didn't seem to want to talk nonsense. Before anyone could react, a strong figure among the three people suddenly slapped the scroll that had been unfolded on the ground at an unknown time.

For a moment, the earth shook and the mountains shook. Loud noises like landslides and earth cracks resounded all around. The earth cracked, and countless mountain peaks and boulders were constantly shifting and changing.

Thick mountain rocks instantly separated the two sides.

"Ding! Boom!"

A kunai carrying an explosive talisman was shot on the closed rock slab, and the mocking laughter of the three people behind the gap gradually disappeared.

The violent explosion did not penetrate the continuously thickening rock slab.

Nara Shikamaru uneasily retracted the arm that projected the kunai, constantly calculating something in his mind.

In the blink of an eye, the endless wilderness was covered by mountains and valleys, with deep canyons and ravines everywhere.

"Get out!"

Sarutobi Asuma shouted in agreement.

Ignoring the tomb robbers and coffins that disappeared before their eyes, the group of people climbed toward the sky, trying to break out of the rock blockade.

The rocks seemed to be alive, squirming and filling the gaps, as if they were trying to bury Asimaban, the Fire Temple, into the abyss.

Only Sora was staring in the previous direction.

It was indeed the person in his memory, and his undisguised malice was so obvious.

"Still alive..."

As soon as he said a word, Kong, with cold eyes, suddenly disappeared from the spot, avoiding the huge amount of surging rocks and pursuing in the malicious direction.

"You can actually use earth escape to cause such a big geological change."

Ino Yamanaka looked around in disbelief at the roaring noises, feeling extremely anxious as he ran.

"Chouji, faster!"

"I...I...I'm...fast!"

Akimichi Chouji, who was the slowest, had a red face and was sweating profusely. His violent breathing prevented him from saying a complete sentence.

Nara Shikamaru, who was at the front, said nothing, only relying on the width of the gap and the speed of the rocks moving and closing, he was frantically calculating the escape route in his mind.

"No! Choji!"

Out of the corner of his eye, a huge rock pillar as big as a mountain suddenly hit Akimichi Choji horizontally and quickly.

The exhausted Akimichi Choji was obviously unable to escape.

Just when Nara Shikamaru's eyes were about to burst, a familiar hand picked up the little fat man's collar and threw him towards Nara Shikamaru.

"They leave it to you! Shikamaru!"

At the same time as Sarutobi Asuma's voice sounded, the huge stone pillar crushed him into a cloud of smoke.

"It's the shadow clone, hurry up!"

Now everyone dispersed completely.

Nara Shikamaru, who was slightly relieved, grabbed the arms of Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino and rushed towards the entrance of a narrow hole.

Like a frog at the bottom of a well looking up at the sky, the seemingly small starry sky is right in front of you...

"thump!"

The heavy object fell to the ground, and a burst of smoke and dust rose.

Just as the entrance of the cave was about to close, the three of them, Zhu Deer Die, fled out of the hole in embarrassment and fell to the ground.

Akimichi Choji felt that his lungs were about to explode. He had been traveling for a day and a night, and with the desperate explosion just now, his physical strength was completely exhausted.

Ino Yamanaka was also covered in scars and was too tired to get up. The chakra that was constantly sensing everyone's position was now running low.

Only Nara Shikamaru quickly scanned the surroundings vigilantly, even he was exhausted.

As far as the eye can see are densely packed sharp stone pillars rising into the sky, and below the stone pillars is a bottomless canyon.

And below the canyon is the huge rock that completely sealed Sarutobi Asuma underground.

Apart from the whistling wind, there was no other sound under the starry sky.

"With such a powerful ninjutsu, the enemy's chakra cannot be so much..."

"Then the enemy's purpose can only be to separate us and defeat us one by one, so it's not safe here."

Looking at his exhausted companions after the sudden explosion, Nara Shikamaru frowned tightly.

"What is this? A stone that can kill people for thousands of years?"

At this moment, a sound of extreme beating sounded above the head.

Nara Shikamaru grinned and lay weakly on the ground, his brows instantly stretched.

"saved......"
