The green ancient trees exuded a natural and refreshing aura. The birds first patched on the green leaves, and suddenly, they flapped their wings and flew away in fright. Silhouettes shuttled back and forth, stepping on the thick branches.
"Captain Ichijo, there are enemies chasing us from behind." The sensor ninja in the team said in a low voice.
"How many people? Ueda. "Zi asked coldly.
"There is only one, and his speed is very fast. With his current speed, other than Natsume, none of us will be able to escape." Ueda quickly replied.
Zi went silent for a moment and made up her mind. "Natsume, you go back first and report the information to the lord. The rest of you, stay with me and deal with the enemy."
"But …" Natsume's expression changed, and his eyes widened. He wanted to refute, but seeing Zi's indifferent expression, he immediately withered. However, he still muttered, "I can also stay and deal with the enemy …"
"Natsume, we are carrying out an important mission. Even if we die, we must send the information back. This time, we will die first." Zi coldly reprimanded and stopped at the same time. She ignored Natsume and just commanded everyone to set up the trap.
The corner of Natsume's eyes twitched, and with a step, lightning flashed as he sped away, turning into a phantom and disappearing into the dense forest. Just now, she was only cooperating with everyone's speed and didn't go all out. Now, she was using her fastest speed.
Natsume had been concentrating on studying lightning release for a long time. Finally, he had made great progress. Combining all kinds of training methods from the cloud ninjas, Natsume figured out the most suitable method for himself.
"Oh! What astonishing speed … even in the cloud ninjas, there aren't many people who can reach this speed. " Ueda exclaimed. Sensing Natsume's speed, he was able to travel so far in an instant, it was really a bit scary.
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of the ambush. Since the enemy dared to chase after us alone, it means that he is very confident in his own strength. Don't be careless." Zi sternly instructed.
Among the six of them, she and Natsume were probably the only ones who were truly good at fighting. The rest of them were all very unorthodox professionals, such as interrogation, perception, tracking, traps, and so on. They really weren't very good at fighting.
However, he couldn't underestimate these unorthodox guys. Under special circumstances, their abilities were very useful, so he couldn't sacrifice them casually.
Azu glanced at the trap that she had set up and made a hand seal. She slowly sank into the ground and concealed her aura to the extreme. Only a perceptive ninja would be able to detect her presence.
Zhi Tian, Tianhai, and the others also went into hiding, controlling their Qi and doing their best to reduce their presence.
The loud and clear sound of the waterfall falling, even though it was far away, was like the sound of thunder from the horizon. The rumbling never stopped, and a flash of lightning flashed through the forest.
Mitsui increased his speed to the limit, but he still felt that it was too slow. When he thought of his brother's miserable state, the anger in his heart kept rising, almost burning his reason.
"Pa."
Mitsui smelled danger as he stepped on the tree trunk under his feet. Unfortunately, he is a Sensor Ninja.
Looking at the slightly quiet forest in front of him, Mitsui's many years of fighting instincts suppressed the anger in his heart. Mitsui's eyes became calm, and he immediately used his perceptive ninja to detect the movement.
"Humph … a group of bastards, do you think that you can deal with me like this? You dare to touch my brother, go die, a group of bastards. "The corner of Mitsui's mouth rose, revealing a bloodthirsty and excited smile, and his hands quickly made hand seals. "Lightning Release: Earth Breaking Drill."
The glaring lightning condensed at one place, forming a shining drill. The blue and white lightning arc crackled and jumped, and a considerable amount of lightning power was forcibly compressed together, and then, in an instant, it fiercely chiseled the ground in front of him.
"Boom!"
The lightning chisel easily tore the ground apart, and the shining lightning diffused out. Like cutting a piece of rag, the ground shook and cracked, revealing a deep crack.
In the blink of an eye, the ground was overturned, and the flat ground was broken into pieces, and the giant trees were also tilted and fell. Then, the explosive talisman was activated, and a series of rumbling explosions sounded, and dancing flames rose into the sky.
"Cough cough cough!"
Zi quickly rushed up from the ground, and a trace of dark red flowed out from the corner of her mouth. She coughed heavily a few times. Just now, she was a little slow in escaping, and suffered a heavy blow on her back, which almost buried her alive.
To be honest, Zi's luck was a little bad. Many times she tried to use stealth to ambush the enemy, but every time she was seen through by the enemy, she was injured, and her strength was greatly reduced.
Earth Breaking Drill was a ninjutsu developed by a genius ninja. It was specially developed to deal with the stealth of the rock ninjas. Unfortunately, Zi was hit by it and tasted the power of this technique.
"I actually didn't kill you, little mouse." Mitsui looked at Zi who was quickly retreating, and his gaze was cold to the bone. "Then I'll kill you again. Lightning Release: Lightning Spear."
A shining lightning spear was shot out, and with a faint sound of thunder, it approached Zi in an instant.
"Earth Release: Return of the Earth."
Ignoring the internal injuries in her body, Zi formed a seal with both hands and lifted a huge rock in front of her, while trying to lower her body as much as possible.
The lightning spear broke the rock shield, but the remaining power was weakened, and Zi dodged in time to avoid this wave of attack.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
The sound of shurikens piercing through the air came from all directions, and Mitsui raised his eyebrows. Lightning flashed under his feet, and his figure flashed, easily avoiding the shurikens.
"It seems that I have to deal with you restless bastards first." Mitsui's murderous intent was revealed, and he quickly rushed to an ancient tree and pulled out the long sword on his back. "Die!"
Mitsui waved his long sword, and without giving the enemy a chance to fight back, his head flew out, and blood spurted three feet high, dyeing Mitsui's sleeves red.
"Amami, retreat!" Zhi Tian couldn't help but yell. Amami was the closest to Mitsui, and Amami, who was good at interrogation, was obviously no match for Mitsui.
Amami clenched his teeth and didn't listen to Zhi Tian's advice. He threw his shurikens with all his might, and then quickly formed a seal with both hands. "Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique."
Balls of flames flew through the air and blasted the tree that Mitsui was standing on. The thick trunk was directly blown off and set ablaze, but Mitsui had already disappeared.
"Too slow, you're at most a Chunin. You're still too inexperienced to deal with me." Mitsui's voice sounded from the sky, and the shining light of his sword fell along with his voice.
"Red Cannon."
A cold voice sounded, and Zi stood on the ground, swaying. She stretched out one hand and released a ball of orange flames. The ball of fire quickly flew toward Mitsui in mid-air.
"Annoying guy." Mitsui raised his eyebrows, and the long sword in his hand flashed with lightning. He directly threw it out, and it collided with the incoming ball of fire, successfully blocking it. At the same time, he kicked Amami in the chest, sending him flying. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and Amami was motionless. No one knew if he was dead or alive.
