Konoha Elf

Elves jumped out of the elf balls one after another. Rock-type Pokémon such as Big Steel Snake, Rumblestone, etc. exuded an oppressive aura from their bodies, as if the god of the earth had descended. They gather together to form huge rocks and release majestic power. Rocks fell like rain, and the rocks blocked it like a prison, trapping the Bai Jue army firmly inside.

The Bai Jue army suffered heavy losses under this sudden attack and were in danger. Wails and screams came one after another. The sound of falling rocks is intertwined with grief and despair like a tragic symphony.

However, even so, the Bai Jue army did not shrink from this. They stepped on the corpses of their companions, desperately climbed the rocks, and determined to continue moving forward. Their eyes were full of madness and determination, and they seemed to no longer be afraid of life and death.

Various Pokemon that had been prepared for a long time released their skills one after another. Thunder, fire, freezing, and attacks of various attributes poured out like waterfalls. The overwhelming attack overwhelmed the White Zetsu army trying to climb over the stone wall.

The flying corps was already hovering in the sky, faithfully executing orders, investigating the situation while conducting ruthless attacks.

"Everyone retreats back." Shikamaru kept calm while constantly observing the movements around him. Shikamaru knew it was time to retreat and quickly ordered,

Shikamaru's voice echoed on the battlefield. After hearing the order, everyone immediately began to evacuate in an orderly manner without any hesitation. Kiba and Akamaru stood beside Shikamaru in tacit agreement, looking around vigilantly, ready to respond to possible emergencies.

As everyone quickly retreated, the Elf Legion followed behind them, and the flying Pokémon hovered in the air, looking down at the battlefield warily.

As the sun gradually set towards the west, the sound of fighting on the battlefield gradually weakened, and the Bai Jue army also stopped attacking.

Shikamaru led everyone to retreat quickly, but his heart was still heavy. He knew that this was only a temporary respite and that the battle would continue.

......

Shikamaru and the others hurried back to the camp, feeling flustered along the way. They didn't relax until they reached the campfire safely. The bonfire flickered with faint light, illuminating everyone's tired faces.

Everyone sat around the campfire, and the hot meals filled their empty stomachs with their tempting aroma. The hungry people could finally enjoy this simple and warm dinner.

Shikamaru's hands shook involuntarily, despite his efforts to control his emotions. The tension and pressure of facing the enemy on the battlefield seemed to have not completely dissipated, and he needed some time to calm down. Staring at the food in the bowl, his mouth felt dry, but he couldn't take it down.

"Shikamaru, let's eat first. If you have anything to do, think about it after eating." Choji stopped what he was doing, looked at Shikamaru who had not moved his chopsticks, and said with concern.

Shikamaru smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay, I'll eat it now." He turned his attention to his rice bowl, but he couldn't get rid of the pressure and tension on the battlefield just now.

"You are here." At this moment, Temari sat next to Shikamaru with a bowl of rice. Her voice was as clear and beautiful as a clear spring, attracting everyone's attention.

Shikamaru turned his head subconsciously. Shikamaru's hands were shaking slightly, and the rice chopsticks were stirring the rice in the bowl, but his eyes fell on Temari unconsciously. Her face was even more delicate and charming under the light of the bonfire, as if she were the brightest star in the night sky. Her heart was beating wildly and her cheeks could not help but turn slightly red.

Seeing Shikamaru's shy look, everyone around him laughed in unison.

"Why are you here?" Shikamaru hurriedly changed the subject, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Let me explain the command of the headquarters. You probably can't eat because of this," Temari said without being as coy as Shikamaru.

The bonfire danced in the dark night, its faint light shining on Shikamaru's thoughtful face. Temari's voice was like a spring of water, and Shikamaru gradually understood the command's intention in issuing the retreat order. At this moment, Shikamaru's brows gradually relaxed, and his thoughts became clear, as if the fog dissipated, leaving behind a clear sky.

"That's it!" Shikamaru's heart suddenly enlightened. He looked at Temari gratefully, his eyes shining with gratitude and respect. Temari's eyes were gentle and firm, as if giving him unlimited power.

Temari's words echoed in his ears: "I think it's better for you to finish your meal." This simple sentence was like a reassurance, calming Shikamaru's mood.

Shikamaru smiled slightly and exhaled softly, as if he had let go of the burden in his heart. He began to enjoy the meal attentively, with a hint of sweetness in every bite.

Temari sat quietly next to him, not saying much, just keeping company silently. Her presence gave Shikamaru great comfort and made him feel the warmth and care outside the battlefield.

Rumble~

The warm atmosphere around the bonfire was broken by a sudden loud noise, like a muffled thunder exploding in everyone's ears, arousing everyone's alertness. Everyone present looked at the source of the sound in unison, with a trace of surprise and doubt flashing in their eyes.

"What's going on? Is there an enemy attack?" Ino was the first to break the silence, with obvious tension and worry in his voice.

[roll eyes]

Neji reacted immediately, his eyes flashed with white light, and he began to use his Byakugan for detection.

"What happened in the medical unit? Civil strife? No, it was Naruto. Naruto found White Zetsu hiding in the coalition forces." Neji immediately told everyone present what he saw.

"Go and take a look." Shikamaru stood up with a solemn expression and quickly rushed towards the direction of the medical team, followed closely by the others.

When Shikamaru and everyone hurried to the medical unit, a tense atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire camp. The embers of the bonfire swayed in the dark night, casting intermittent light and shadow, reflecting the hurried figures.

The tent of the medical unit loomed faintly in the night. A group of ninjas gathered nervously in front of the tent, their faces full of fear and uneasiness.

Amidst a burst of noise, Naruto's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

"He is Bai Jue." He stood there, his eyes like knives, cold and sharp, as if he wanted to penetrate all disguises and see clearly into everyone's heart. A Bai Jue was being held tightly by him, his hands were cut behind his back, and his eyes revealed fear and struggle.

The soldiers in the medical unit looked at each other, their expressions mixed with horror, shock and disbelief. There were actually enemy spies hidden in their own ranks. This cruel fact shocked and outraged everyone. They couldn't believe that their companions who had fought side by side turned out to be enemies.

The surrounding ninjas kept their distance, feeling wary in their hearts, fearing that the other party was an enemy lurking among them. For a time, people in the camp were panicked and there was a tense atmosphere.

"Don't panic, everyone. He is Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. He can sense the White Zetsu. He was ordered by the command center to catch the White Zetsu lurking among us." Shikamaru stepped forward and explained, trying to Alleviate everyone's panic.
