Caw, caw, caw...
A raven flew across the sky, soaring through the falling snow. The biting cold wind battered its feathers. If it had been made of flesh and blood, it would have frozen solid in the high-altitude cold long ago.
A Pentagram array flickered in the raven's eyes. Half a kilometer away, Su Xiao sat cross-legged on a large rock in the snow, with Eminem and Bubu Wang beside him.
Eminem had been seriously injured earlier. It had single-handedly held off Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari. Although it had not delayed them for long, its entire body was covered in wounds that reached deep into the bone. After all, Gaara was a Kage—not someone easy to hold back.
In Eminem's case, injuries severe enough to be fatal only counted as light wounds. On top of that, it had been poisoned by Kankuro. Sunagakure's poison was notorious. At that moment, Eminem lay in the snow with a bluish complexion, a side effect of the poison. It needed some time to recover.
After testing Eminem in their first battle, Su Xiao discovered that its ability to withstand blows exceeded his expectations. Even if he wanted to kill Eminem, he could not do so in a short time. Eminem's body was simply too tough. Breaking through its defenses with Dragon Slayer Flash was no problem, but directly severing its bones was nearly impossible.

So-called sensory-type shinobi did not possess especially powerful senses for living creatures. What they sensed was Chakra. Nearly every living organism in the Naruto World had Chakra
