"Shikamaru, why did you suddenly come out to play with me in the middle of the night?"
Forest of Death At the edge, a child with short blond hair and three pairs of beards on his cheeks curled his lips.
Although there was some dissatisfaction in his words, judging from his expression, he was not bored by it.
The child named Shikamaru had his hands in his pockets and a pineapple head tied behind his head.
He raised his eyes slightly and said lazily, "Naruto, it's too noisy during the day, so be quiet at night."
Naruto scratched his head and smiled, "Yes, then I will be your companion?"
Seeing the innocent and kind-hearted look of the other party, Shikamaru sighed softly, a trace of unbearability flashed in his heart, and he blurted out.
"Naruto."
"What's wrong?" Naruto suddenly turned around and asked.
Shikamaru hesitated to speak, but quickly shook his head.
"Nothing, let's go and take a walk with me."
"..."
The two of them walked side by side on the path at the edge of the forest, the night wind blowing and the leaves rustling.
Gradually, the figures of the two teenagers drifted away under the moonlight.
And somewhere they couldn't see, a group of ninjas dressed in black followed closely behind them.
The other side of the jungle.
'Tap! Tread! Tread!'
Taking advantage of the emptiness of the Hyuga clan, Dodai successfully captured the unconscious Hyuga eldest daughter Hyuga Hinata out of the Hyuga clan's land.
At this moment, he was running quickly towards the place agreed upon in the plan.
Along the way, Dodai's spirit was tense to the extreme. This was the first time that someone caught Main Family Byakugan at Konoha. It was an unprecedented scene.
He couldn't even imagine what kind of rewards and treatment Raikage would give him when he returned to the village safely.
But now is not the time to think about this.
Just relying on the more than 30 people in the mission can't stop Konoha Ninja for long.
The pursuers may soon catch up, and he must race against time.
'Tap! Tread! Tread!'
My feet stepped on the leaves and made a slight sound, which was particularly clear in this silent night.
The wind blew quietly, blowing through the gaps in the leaves into the girl Dodai's arms.
Hinata Hyuga, who had been dazed for a long time, slowly opened his eyes, revealing his snow-white pupils, and then shrank suddenly.
She recalled her previous experiences and couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in her heart.
'Mom, Dad, where are you? I'm so scared!'
Hinata, who is only three years old, has never experienced anything like this.
Her small body trembled slightly under the enemy's armpit, and her eyes were full of panic.
Everything here was so strange and scary, making her feel as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
Fear followed her everywhere, constantly eroding her heart.
Finally, the fear in Hinata's heart reached its peak, and he could no longer hold back and let out a scream of terror.
"Ah!!!"
The scream resounded throughout the silent forest, as if a sharp knife cut through the tranquility of the night.
The voice was full of fear, despair and helplessness, echoing in the air for a long time and startling a group of birds perched on the branches.
"Oh no, patriarch!"
On a street in Konoha, a ninja quickly ran to Hyuga Hiashi, breathing heavily with a look of panic on his face.
Hyuga Hiashi turned his head when he heard the noise and scolded angrily with a straight face.
"Watch your behavior!"
The ninja was not in the mood to care about the Hyuga Clan's etiquette at this time and said quickly.
"Clan leader, the eldest lady was kidnapped, and the ninjas of the branch who were responsible for protecting the eldest lady were also killed."
"What?"
This time it was Hyuga Hiashi's turn to lose his composure. He grabbed the ninja's arm and asked urgently.
"Which way did it go."
"Forest of Death!" Hyuga Ninja was still out of breath.
But Hyuga Hiashi no longer cares about this trivial matter, and led a team of ninjas to quickly run towards Forest of Death.
In Konoha Prison, in the deepest single cell, a gloomy old man with his head and right eye wrapped in bandages was sitting there with his eyes closed to rest.
Suddenly, a man wearing a black cloak and black sunglasses appeared in the shadow of the wall, kneeling on one knee and saying.
"Sir Danzo, Konoha suddenly became chaotic for some reason, and there was a lot of movement."
The old man named Danzo opened his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"I know that Monkey and the others are unreliable, even if the teacher is resurrected."
"Konoha Only under my leadership can we move towards a more glorious tomorrow."
"..."
Saying that, Shimura Danzō slowly stood up and asked without looking back.
"Root How many people are left?"
Aburame Ryoma lowered his head and replied, "Less than ten people!"
Shimura Danzō snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "It's really cruel, Hiruzen!"
Thinking about Root's development so far, the forces are so complicated that I didn't expect that in just one year, there would be less than ten people left.
This shows how ruthless Konoha High Command they were during this period.
"Forget it!" Shimura Danzō sighed lightly, "Let's talk about it after I leave Konoha."
As long as Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Yan are still in Konoha, he will never get ahead. It is better to leave Konoha slowly.
"Sooner or later, I have to let them know that I am the most suitable candidate for Hokage!"
"..."
Aburame Ryoma nodded and made a simple seal with his hands.
In an instant, the cell wall seemed to be corroded by something and quickly dissolved.
If you look closely, you will see that they are ferocious-looking and extremely tiny insects.
After the wall was almost destroyed, Shimura Danzō sneered, flicked his huge kimono sleeves, and walked out, followed closely by Aburame Ryoma.
"Master Danzo, where should we go next?"
"Forest of Death, the barrier there has a loophole, we can easily leave Konoha!"
"..."
Gradually, the battle in Konoha also gradually subsided.
But it was just a team of more than thirty people, which was not worth mentioning in front of Konoha's many powerful people, and they were all wiped out in a short time.
Among Hokage Building, Konoha High Command, who had already subdued Darui, was also surrounded by Anbu and ran towards the silent forest in the distance.
Within Uchiha Special Zone.
The battle between Yan and Matatabi has already begun, and has entered a fierce stage at an extremely fast speed.
Susanoo Wearing armor and holding a long sword, he looks like the god of war descending.
Matatabi's attack fell on Susanoo, like a fly shaking a tree, unable to cause substantial damage at all.
Yan controlled Susanoo, swung his long sword, and a huge sword energy roared out, slashing directly at Matatabi.
Matatabi quickly dodged, but the sword energy was extremely fast.
No matter how you avoid it, it still leaves a deep wound on its body.
Matatabi roared angrily and launched another attack.
However, in front of the powerful power of Susanoo, its attack seems so weak.
In the end, Matatabi gradually lost its ability to resist under the powerful crushing force of Susanoo.
After the inflammation was lifted Susanoo, Nii Yugito had also exited Tailed Beast Transformation, lying on the ground and fell into a coma.
Yan stepped forward and grabbed Nii Yugito in his hand, gave her a 'Yin-Yang Sealing Technique' and threw it to Hideto behind him.
"Place it in Uchiha Prison first. No one can approach it without my permission."
"Okay!" Hideto took the pretty girl in his hand expressionlessly and nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, Yan slowly looked towards the forest not far away, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I still have something to do, you stay here to help the injured!"
After saying that, the figure instantly disappeared from the spot, turning into an afterimage and galloping away into the distance.
At this time, the situation at Konoha is becoming more and more complicated.
Cloud Village Delegation, Uchiha Special Zone, Konoha High Command, Hyuga Clan, and the one Shimura Danzō who has been locked up in prison.
Multiple forces are intertwined together, painting a colorful picture.
Forest of Death edge.
The screams exploded like thunder.
Shikamaru and Naruto walking on the trail seemed to have heard the screams.
They stopped and looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubts and worries.
Naruto frowned and said, "What is this sound? It sounds terrible."
Shikamaru narrowed his eyes slightly, already having a guess in his mind, but still said solemnly, "I don't know, but this sound is definitely unusual."
Naruto lay on the ground and listened for a while, and finally heard another faint sound in this silent environment.
I saw him standing up suddenly, approaching Shikamaru and speaking softly.
"Shikamaru, I seem to hear a girl's voice."
"So?" Shikamaru frowned, "You want to take a look?"
Naruto nodded, "Forest of Death This place is so dangerous. She may be in danger, and I want to help her."
"Why are you helping me? How old are you?"
But Naruto looked unconvinced, "Who said I can't do it? I've been catching fish around here before."
"It's just that I don't know why they suddenly stopped letting me come here. Grandpa Hokage said it was for my own good."
"..."
Shikamaru stood there in silence for a long time, looking past the deathly silent jungle around him, he sighed softly and said.
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
After hearing this, Naruto showed a genuine smile on his face and ran quickly towards the depths of the forest.
Shikamaru saw this and hurriedly followed, muttering in his heart: 'I hate those guys who play with people's hearts the most!'
On the other side of the forest, Dodai felt anxious and uneasy.
The scream was like a reminder, especially harsh in this silent night.
He cursed Hinata Hyuga secretly in his heart, why can't he be quieter?
He had gone through so much trouble to abduct her from the Hyuga Clan's heavy protection. He was about to successfully escape from Konoha, but this scream disrupted all his plans.
Dodai was running fast while nervously paying attention to the movements around him.
The forest looks particularly eerie at night, with moonlight shining through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow.
The wind whistled in his ears and the leaves rustled, seeming to express his uneasiness.
Dodai had fine beads of sweat on his forehead, his heart was pounding, and every step he took was like stepping on the tip of a knife.
He could not fail, the high expectations given to him by Raikage were like a mountain weighing on his heart.
Amidst Hinata Hyuga's screams, the annoyance in Dodai's heart reached its peak.
The sound penetrated his ears like a demonic sound, making his nerves tense to the extreme.
"Shut up!"
Dodai roared and grabbed her neck without hesitation.
Hinata's scream stopped abruptly.
Her eyes were wide open, her face full of fear, and her snow-white pupils were full of despair and helplessness.
The small body was twitching slightly due to suffocation.
Her hands grasped Dodai's arms in vain, trying to break free. Her feet kicked randomly in the air, but could not touch the ground.
Gradually, Hinata's breathing became difficult and her face gradually turned red. She wanted to call for help, but she could only make a weak whine.
Dodai looked at Hinata in his hand without any pity in his heart.
In his opinion, this little girl is just a tool for sowing seeds.
Seeing that Hinata had lost all its strength due to lack of oxygen, Dodai relaxed his palms slightly, then stepped on the ground with his toes, and ran quickly towards the Konoha barrier.
But the hand holding Hinata's neck never let go.
His figure shuttled through the forest like an agile cheetah.
Every step avoided the withered yellow leaves and made only a very slight sound.
At this time, Dodai had only one thought in his mind, which was to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.
However, fate doesn't seem to want him to succeed easily.
While running, they bumped into Naruto and Shikamaru who came after hearing the sound.
Naruto and Shikamaru looked at the scene in front of them and were stunned.
They had never seen such a cruel scene. A little girl was choked by a strange man and led away. Her life was in danger.
Naruto was the first to react. His heart was filled with anger and a sense of justice, and he yelled, "Let her go!"
Then he raised his fist and rushed forward.
Shikamaru on the side was dumbfounded.
'Brother, I know you are three years old, but those who don't know think you are thirty!'
'The other person is not easy to mess with at first glance, and judging from the Forehead Protector on his head, he is from Kumogakure. He must be someone with bad intentions, so you dare to rush forward.'
But at this time, Naruto was like an angry little lion, rushing towards Dodai.
His eyes were burning with anger, as if his body was full of strength, thinking that he could defeat all evil, and he rushed to Dodai in a short while.
"Asshole, let that girl go!"
Saying that, Naruto punched him hard.
Dodai looked at the little fist waving towards him, with the same doubts on his face as Shikamaru.
'Is this guy so brave? Is it possible that he is a super genius trained by Konoha?'
Dodai didn't dare to be careless. He used all his strength to swing his leg and kicked Naruto hard in the stomach.
Bang!
Naruto, which rushed towards him at high speed, flew backwards like a cannonball and hit a big tree not far away.
The huge force directly broke the big tree.
Naruto huddled under the tree holding his belly in pain, with a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Shikamaru felt nervous and quickly ran to Naruto, squatting down to check his situation.
"Naruto, how are you? Let's run, this guy is difficult to deal with." Shikamaru said anxiously.
At the same time, I was still secretly anxious.
'Are these guys really not going to take action, or am I wrong and no one is following me?'
At this time, Naruto gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up, making a decisive move.
"I'm fine, I can't let him take that girl away."
