"Onii-san, be careful!"
Ishigaki Keita immediately became alert, and his whole body changed color. His gray-brown skin shone with a metallic luster, showing his unconditional trust in his younger brother.
"Flying Swallow – Air Piercing!"
Asuma rushed out unscathed, and the Chakra in his hand extended a long wind blade. With a punch from Asuma, the long wind blade tore through Ishigaki Keita's clothes. Even if he had hardened his body, the sharp wind blade still tore through his skin, leaving a shallow wound on his chest.
"Earth Release: Rock Spear!"
The same sound rang out again, and Asuma raised his eyebrows. He didn't have time to deal another blow, so he quickly jumped up to avoid the dense forest of stone spears, making it impossible for Ishigaki Keita to stand in front of him.
"Onii-san, are you okay?" Ishigaki Takata quickly ran to Keita's side and noticed the wound on his chest. He immediately let out a sigh of relief. It was just a flesh wound and not too deep. Only a few drops of blood seeped out.
Asuma retreated to the tree and looked at Ishigaki Keita with surprise. It turned out to be the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai, so they really are from the Rock. Of all the major countries, only the Rock has such a Kekkei Genkai.
"Shikamaru, I can confirm that they are from the Rock. The one who destroyed my Shadow Clone is the Rock's unique Kekkei Genkai."
Shikamaru listened to Asuma's words and frowned, looking down at the two brothers from the tree. "You are from the Rock, right? What do you want to do in the Land of Fire?"
Asuma had already shared the information he eavesdropped with Shikamaru on the road. Shikamaru was keenly aware of the strangeness, otherwise, why would he talk nonsense with the Rock and directly fight. The relationship between Kiba and the Rock is also very bad. In the previous Shinobi World War, the Rock is always the enemy of Kiba, second only to the Cloud.
"Kiba's Ninjas really caught up!" Ishikaki Takata stared at Asuma warily. Asuma had noticed them in the curry shop, and they had also noticed Asuma and the other three. Kiba's forehead protector was very conspicuous.
"We're not spies, and we're not planning to wreak havoc in the Fire Nation. We're just running away, that's all." Ishigaki Kota slowly said, while Ishigaki Keita took the opportunity to treat the wound on his chest.
"Hmph, whether you're a spy or not isn't something that can be proven with just a few words. We won't allow such a dangerous person like you to mess around in the Fire Nation." Shikamaru stared at Takouta Ishigaki, and Takouta Ishigaki stared back at Shikamaru. Both of them could sense that the other was a think tank.
"Then how should we gain your trust?" Kota didn't move and just stood by Keita's side. "There are only two of us, but if we fight, even if the four of you come at us together, we can still drag two of you down with us. We are the Ishiki family's disciples, even though the Ishiki family is a thing of the past."
"The Shigaki Clan of the three Explosion Style Clans? Asma narrowed his eyes.
"The three Explosion Style Clans?" Shikamaru looked at Asma with a puzzled look. Isn't the Explosion Style Bloodline Limit held by one clan?
"Yes, the Explosion Style Bloodline Limit of the Rock Hidden Village is inherited by three clans, Ishiki, Kitayama, and Tamoka. And it's not only the Explosion Style Bloodline Limit, but many Bloodline Limits are also inherited separately. For example, Magnet Release, Sand Crypsis, and Cloud Hidden Village all have Magnet Release Bloodline Limit, but each has some differences in development." Asma explained.
"During the Third Shinobi War, I saw the Explosion Style Bloodline Limit of the Rock Hidden Village. It's really invincible in close combat. Taijutsu Ninjas can't do anything against it, so they can only deal with it from a distance."
Shikamaru frowned after listening to this. Dingji can't fight, so he can only rely on himself, Asma, and Ino to help. It's a bit tricky.
"What do you mean by the Shigaki Clan is a thing of the past?" Shikamaru stared at Shigaki Takata, this sentence made him care a lot.
"It means on the surface, the three Explosion Style Clans are only left with the two Explosion Style Clans, us brothers should be the last bloodline of the Shigaki Clan." Shigaki Takata said very calmly, but the coldness in his eyes made Shikamaru couldn't help but shiver.
"This … this is important information …" Shikamaru was dumbfounded for a moment. From what Asma said just now, he roughly understood what the three Explosion Style Clans represented in the Rock Hidden Village. It's probably not as shocking as the Uchiha Clan's annihilation, but it will definitely cause a big storm, this information must be sent back to the village as soon as possible.
"If … is it possible for Kiba to accept us brothers?" Shigaki Takata once again threw out a heavy bomb, making Shikamaru go silent and communicate with Asma with his eyes.
The wind blew the leaves, making the sound of rustling, and the sparse sunlight shone through the leaves onto the ground, causing both sides to fall into silence.
"I'm sorry, this kind of thing is not something that I can decide, you can only follow me back to Kiba as captives, and then let Hokage-sama make the decision." Shikamaru said slowly. He was clear that if he accepted the Shigaki brothers, it would mean that he would have to shed all pretense of cordiality with the Rock Hidden Village, and the current peace would most likely become a bubble.
"Is it really like this? Am I thinking too much? That's right. " Shigaki Takata revealed a bitter smile, he was just holding onto a trace of fantasy, after all, it was currently a time of peace, and accepting another country's betrayal was tantamount to declaring war.
"Then, please let us brothers leave, we don't want to fight with you, the Rock Hidden Village's Anbu is still chasing after us brothers." Shigaki Takata's expression became dignified, as for becoming captives, it was simply impossible, the last glory of the Shigaki Clan was not allowed to be trampled on.
… …
Shikamaru was having a headache, and so was Asuma. This kind of situation was truly too unexpected, it was completely not within the scope of what they had expected, and they did not know how to solve this kind of situation.
It was not right to fight, and it was also not right to not fight. This kind of awkward situation, Shikamaru thought for a bit, and just when he was about to speak.
"Not good, Asuma sensei, Shikamaru, there are 15 very powerful Chakra that are currently heading towards here, and their speed is very fast, they will meet up in 3 minutes." Ino suddenly said loudly, and his tone was very anxious.
"Damn it, they have already caught up, that also means that uncle, he …" Shigaki Takata also heard what Ino said, and his gaze was as fierce as a hungry wolf, and his face was distorted, it was especially scary.
"Big brother, we can't escape anymore, 3 minutes of distance? It is impossible to shake off these people, let's prepare for battle. "Shigaki Takata took out his kunai and stared at Asuma and the others.
"Ah! So troublesome, this is really a terrible situation. "Shikamaru's gaze became gloomy, this is simply too unlucky.
"Asuma sensei, Shikamaru, what should we do?" Dingji asked.
"Retreat to the side first, we will try our best not to get involved in this battle, if there is no other choice, at that time, listen to my orders." Asuma held onto his Chakra blade tightly and brought the other three to retreat to the side. Right now, they were already in the middle of the battle, and they were unable to retreat.
