Sunny and cheerful Konoha Genin

"No one is allowed to move."

He heard the boy's voice above his head.

"If you want him to live, be quiet!"

"otherwise……"

Ito Toru pressed the tip of the kunai against the middle-aged jonin's neck.

"I can't guarantee that my hands won't shake!"

There was total silence.

The Sand Ninjas on the opposite side opened their mouths slightly and looked at each other.

Then——

"Hahahahahaha!"

Several people simultaneously burst into laughter that almost broke the sky. They laughed so hard that they were bent over and over again. Some people even shed tears.

"Is it funny?"

Toru Ito narrowed his eyes. These guys didn't seem to worry about the hostages in their hands at all.

Instead, he just kept laughing, like a friend who saw his friend make a fool of himself.

Although there is indeed a gap in combat power between the jonin and the genin, they are both captured by me, so there should be no chance of winning, right?

So Toru Ito couldn't understand why these idiots were laughing there.

"It seems that you are not very popular."

He nudged his captive with his knee.

This action made the people on the opposite side laugh even louder.

"Arib! Are you still playing? You were caught by a genin!"

"Miscalculated, didn't you? Hahahaha!"

"You're asking us to be honest, kid, you don't seem to understand the situation?"

"The one you are holding now is a Jonin!"

Almost at the same time as the last person finished speaking, Arib, who was captured by Ito Toru, turned into a ball of white mist with a bang!

? !

Ito Toru's heart skipped a beat, and the feeling from his hand changed, from the feeling of hair at first to the feeling of leaves...

Substitution!

He instantly thought of the name of this ninjutsu.

A type of ninjutsu that every ninja must know.

It is possible to quickly break free from control when being captured, but normally, the conditions for activating this ninjutsu are before being captured, or after being captured, taking advantage of the opponent's momentary relaxation.

But this guy... Ito Toru was sure that he didn't let his guard down!

Is this the strength of a Jonin?

No...not only that!

Toru Ito frowned. Although the smell was very faint, he still smelled the burning detonating tag, coming from the wooden stake in front of him!

This guy... actually left a killer move!

The burning detonating tag is hidden in the white mist released by the substitution technique, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect it.

If Toru Ito hadn't dealt with detonating tags frequently, he probably wouldn't have noticed that there was still a detonating tag on the wooden stake!

In just a short moment, this senior ninja displayed several extremely vicious techniques!

It turned out that I had captured him earlier because of his carelessness and a bit of luck...

Toru Ito sighed in his heart, then raised his foot and kicked the wooden stake out without hesitation!

boom--!

The wooden stake was like a launched missile, spinning and flying towards the Sand Ninjas who were laughing at them!

It also has a long trail of exhaust.

“Wow~Wow~Wow~”

Facing the flying wooden stake, several people let out strange and mocking shouts: "This boy is not bad. He can actually detect the detonating talisman on the wooden stake!"

"Alib, you made another mistake!"

"Could this kid be your nemesis?"

"Hahahahahaha! This is so funny! Watch me!"

One of them stood up, quickly formed seals with his hands, and released ninjutsu before the wooden stake arrived.

"Wind Style: Big Storm!"

After completing the seal, a strong airflow spurted out from his mouth, like a hurricane blowing up on the spot, directly blowing the wooden stake back, several points faster than the original speed, and crashed into Ito Toru!

Not only that, the strong wind pressure brought by the hurricane directly pressed down, making Toru Ito almost unable to move!

He was forced to abandon the countermeasures he had prepared and adopt a new way of retreat!

This person is also at the level of a jonin!

This level of chakra and ninjutsu strength...

No wonder all the Konoha Anbu people who stayed here were wiped out!

If you continue like this, you will definitely not be his opponent!

If it was just one person, Ito Tetsu thought he could still fight and not be defeated so quickly, but with so many guys together...

Defeat is only a matter of time!

Boom!

The detonating talisman on the wooden stake exploded, and immediately a cloud of smoke and dust billowed. The burning wood chips turned into sparks and flew everywhere. It only lasted for a moment before being blown away by the strong wind, revealing an empty ground with only a big pit left!

"He actually escaped?"

One Sand Ninja showed surprise in his eyes, while another Sand Ninja suddenly realized:

"What a clever boy! He actually took advantage of the wind and escaped!"

"He can't get away!"

A person next to him immediately formed seals with his hands and released chakra perception.

He closed his eyes, and the chakra gathered and spread out in an instant, quickly covering a large area like ultrasound, and finally found Toru Ito!

"That kid went that way, chase him!"

He opened his eyes and pointed in a direction: "This kid runs pretty fast. He covered several hundred meters in such a short time!"

"We have to catch up with him quickly, or he will really get away!"

"Hahahaha! I love this game of cat and mouse!"

"Where's Arib?"

"He has already caught up. We have to hurry up, or we will miss the fun!"

In the woods, Toru Ito was running wildly.

His figure was like a black snake wandering in the forest, drawing tortuous and nimble curves and running through the dense woods.

He did not choose to escape back to the small town because there were more Sand Ninjas in the small town!

Moreover, the opponent's target is Orochimaru, so he must have prepared means to deal with Orochimaru.

If we escape back to the small town, the result will most likely be that our entire team will be wiped out!

Of course, Ito Toru could also bet that Orochimaru's strength was far beyond what these people imagined.

But he felt that what was more likely to happen was that Orochimaru would escape with Red Bean, and he and Uchiha Yuina would be defeated and die in the battle after a hard battle.

Then the world line is successfully concluded!

After all, Orochimaru is a real ninja.

A true ninja is one who will abandon or even kill his companions when necessary...

In this era, these things are not so rare, and are even regarded as praiseworthy.

and--

It’s not too late to despair!

Running towards the woods will not necessarily mean death!

Fighting in such a secret environment is exactly what Toru Ito is good at!

While running away, Toru Ito picked up the whistle and blew it hard!

Shh————!

The loud whistle sounded throughout the forest.

The six Sand Ninjas who were chasing them also heard it.

"Is this kid crazy? He is being chased by us, but he is still blowing the whistle. Does he think that reinforcements will come to help him?"

“Haha… this is what they call their last struggle.”

"I've seen him! Look at me!"

A Sand Ninja Chunin showed a grim smile on his face and ran forward at a faster speed!

In front of them, a figure fleeing in a panic appeared!

He seemed to have lost his strength, gasping for breath and running wildly on the ground.

"That's what weaklings do. They even use up their own chakra out of fear?"

The Sand Ninja Chunin showed disdain on his face, then quickened his speed, came above the figure, and drew out the short blade at his waist.

"I'll just cut off one of your arms first!"

A silver light flashed, drew a straight line and fell down, and then - hit the figure!

? !

The Chunin suddenly showed an expression of surprise and doubt on his face. The feeling from the blade was not right!

Boom!

The next second, a huge fireball shot up into the sky and engulfed his figure!

Because all the strength was put into the blade, the Chunin could not escape and was instantly burned to charcoal in the terrifying high temperature!

The six-member Sand Ninja team lost one person!

"what?!"

"A shadow clone that can explode?!"

The pursuers behind suddenly froze, and the four Sand Ninjas showed expressions of shock and anger on their faces.

There were no casualties during the battle with Konoha's Anbu, but I didn't expect that I would lose one person while chasing down a mere Genin!

"Gabe is such an idiot, he's so careless!"

The team leader Arib appeared from the other side, his expression extremely ugly.

“Why can’t I sense it?”

Another jonin questioned the perception ninja next to him: "What do you do for a piece of trash like you?!"

"Don't blame me! That kid used more than half of his chakra as bait!"

The Perception Ninja gritted his teeth and said, "Be careful, this guy is cunning and bold!"

Obviously this answer did not satisfy the jonin, and the anger on his face intensified:

"If not you, who else can I blame? Gabe is dead! How am I going to explain this to his sister?"

"It's none of my business! He's just a fool, so if he dies, he dies. How can I stop him from going to die?"

The Perception Ninja was not to be outdone. After all, he was the only one in the team who could sense local movements. He could be said to be the eyes of the entire team!

"you--!"

The jonin's eyes turned red.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Alibu roared, "You guys are making a fuss here, do you want that kid to escape?!"

"Chase him! Don't let that guy go!"

The argument was temporarily suppressed, and the remaining five Sand Ninjas had gloomy and ugly expressions, and their speed became even faster than before!
