Konoha At the end of June 48, on the Land of Rain front line, Sunagakure Ninja morale plummeted, and the battle losses increased again in the past week.
When Sunagakure Jonin Rasa returned to the rear to recuperate, most of the ninjas were still comforting themselves, unconditionally believing the reasons given by the top management:
"The evil Konoha Ninja only achieved partial victory by relying on breach of contract and sneak attacks!"
"Rasa, who was able to suppress Tailed Beast, returned to the rear to visit his wife who was hospitalized."
As long as Sunagakure Ninja who participated in that battle does not tell the truth, then Rasa will suffer "skin trauma".
The so-called retreat can also be called a tactical retreat. If you don't lose, you win. Sunagakure Ninja urgently needs such a victory!
Rasa did go to the hospital, but not to visit his pregnant wife.
His lungs were penetrated by Shu Furukawa's Chidori Sharp Spear, and his injuries were extremely serious. The medical ninjas on the front line could not solve the problem, so they could only return to the village and seek help from high-level consultant Chiyo.
In the special care ward of Sunagakure hospital, Karura, who had a bulging belly, looked at her husband with a frown and hesitated to speak. Finally, she mustered up the courage to ask in a low voice:
"Do you have to go to the front line? Chiyo My mother-in-law told me that it is very difficult to get you injured Lightning Release."
Rasa knows that his wife will give birth in more than a month, but the situation on the front line has deteriorated. As a young leader in the village, he must step forward at this time:
"The village needs me, Sunagakure now needs victory to stabilize people's hearts."
Karura didn't know how to respond. Thinking of what Chiyo said about "Lightning Release with vitality", he could only clasp his hands together and pray secretly.
--
Under the dark sky, the fleeing Sunagakure Ninja was exhausted, fled in a panic, and finally fell on the muddy ground.
"Uh..."
Rasa on Sunagakure Ninja's back was also thrown out. Rasa rolled around in the mud, groaned in pain and then vomited blood again.
He didn't even have the strength to stand up. Rasa couldn't help but recall the way his wife prayed before leaving, and murmured to himself for a while:
"Karura."
"Master Rasa, hold on! Support is coming soon!"
One Sunagakure Ninja hurriedly carried Rasa and shouted to comfort him. However, seeing that the leader's body was scorched black and blood was constantly oozing from his waist, the others all bowed their heads and remained silent.
"Woof!"
The faint barking of dogs indicated that they had been surrounded by Konoha Ninja. Without the rain, the enemy was pursuing extremely fast, and Sunagakure Ninja was completely desperate.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sounds produced by Body Flicker Technique continued to appear. Konoha Ninja stopped on the slope. Everyone looked at Sunagakure Ninja below with bloodthirsty eyes.
Under the pressure of death, the two Sunagakure youths collapsed completely, screamed meaninglessly, and accelerated towards the crowd.
Before approaching the slope, two Sunagakure Ninja suddenly had huge wounds on their chests, blood spattered, and they fell to the ground silently.
The azure light blade attached to the short knife in Shu Furukawa's hand was shortening, and he looked expressionlessly at Rasa, who was protected by Sunagakure Ninja, and Lightning Release Chakra exploded again:
"A pointless struggle!"
As soon as Shu Furukawa finished speaking, Sunagakure Ninja at the front felt a pain in his chest, and then several people behind him screamed one after another, and the light blade quickly passed through everyone's bodies.
Perhaps the human wall played a role. When the light blade was about to penetrate Rasa's body, a Chakra shield glowing with blue light successfully intercepted Shu Furukawa's Chidori Sharp Spear.
"Boo!"
Ninjutsu collided, and sharp neighing sounds continued to sound. Rasa saw the two puppets in front of him and let out a sigh of relief. Then he could no longer maintain his dignity and immediately half-knelt on the ground.
"Kid, you can't break through Machine Light Shield Seal's supreme defense!"
Chiyo, who was short in stature and had an old face, appeared from behind, and then Sunagakure Ninja who came to support protected Rasa one after another.
"Old guy, you were here a long time ago! You actually watched them being shot."
Shu Furukawa maintained Chidori Sharp Spear and responded calmly. Sunagakure Ninja did not waver after hearing these words and still stared at Konoha Ninja.
Chiyo had a look of regret on her old face. She didn't expect that young Shu Furukawa was so cautious and never stepped into the encirclement:
"Katsuyu girl can actually teach a disciple like you, but I don't know what your Medical Ninjutsu is like."
As soon as Chiyo finished speaking, several puppet teams at the back immediately took action. The two puppets blocking the front also transformed, and densely packed Senbon shot out.
"Earth Release·earth wall!"
Konoha Ninja immediately provided support and blocked Senbon's attack. The long-range Fire Release Ninjutsu followed suit and everyone charged without Shu Furukawa's command.
The puppets controlled by Chiyo are completely different from ordinary puppet masters. Not only are they more flexible, the puppets also have richer mechanisms.
The two speeding puppets kept attacking Shu Furukawa at tricky angles. Chiyo waved its arms wildly. The long knife and Kunai whip wielded by the puppets continued to chop at inhuman speed.
"Ding ding..."
Sparks flew around Shu Furukawa, and his whole body turned into a "Dora", blocking accurately while trying to accelerate forward.
Sunagakure Ninja in front of Chiyo tried his best to block it, and Konoha Ninja also saw the opportunity and started to interfere closely.
Rasa in the rear saw Shu Furukawa suddenly pulling away and hurriedly reminded loudly:
"Watch out for his Lightning Release!"
Chiyo's two puppets rushed in immediately, and black arcs suddenly erupted from Shu Furukawa's body. Chidori Current's power increased sharply, and the puppets in front of him shattered on the spot.
"Boom!"
Cracks appeared in the ground, Shu Furukawa disappeared instantly, Chiyo raised his arms with agility that was not suitable for his age, and Machine Light Shield Seal immediately appeared in front of him.
"No way!"
Chiyo yelled, looking at his strongest defense which was penetrated by Shu Furukawa's Chakra short knife glowing with black electric light. Under the huge impact, the modified arm instantly shattered.
"Chiyo-sama..."
The nearby Sunagakure Ninja subconsciously shouted loudly, and many ninjas even gave up their defense and rushed towards Shu Furukawa.
Chiyo barely avoided the vital point, but his shoulder was penetrated by a short knife, and his whole body was in a state of paralysis. He could only watch as Sunagakure Ninja, who was making a rescue, was quickly killed by Shu Furukawa.
Under layers of protection, Chiyo roared in pain:
"Use poison!"
Poisonous smoke and poisonous Senbon erupted at the same time. Konoha Ninja and Sunagakure Ninja at the front fell to the ground one after another. Shu Furukawa did not expect that Antidote would lose its effect and immediately reminded its companions to retreat.
"Master Xiu!"
"This is a new poison. Bring back the poisoned companions. I will help everyone control the poison first."
Shu Furukawa did not order a pursuit. Inuzuka Clan's ninja was secretly grateful. Aburame Clan's ninja immediately directed Kikaichū to carry the wounded. Konoha Ninja at the scene all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn Sunagakure, he only knows these little tricks!"
"Thanks to Master Xiu for taking care of me."
"Sunagakure's Chiyo is nothing more than that..."
Konoha Ninja, who was resting on the spot, was discussing excitedly, while White Zetsu, who was hiding underground not far away, quietly revealed his eyes to observe, whispering secretly in his heart:
"Black Lightning Release, please report to Lord Madara."
