Whoosh!
Four figures landed in front of the outpost one after another.
Chiya stopped, looked up, and then his heart skipped a beat.
The last thing I wanted to happen happened.
I saw the leading man with short black hair, a cigarette in his mouth, and two Chakra Blade hanging on his waist.
Asuma Sarutobi.
The three people following him were none other than the three members of class Asuma, Ino–Shika–Cho.
Shikamaru still looked uninspired, with his hands in his pockets.
Choji is a lot fatter and taller than before. He is still holding snacks in his hands and stuffing them into his mouth.
The last one is Ino.
We haven't seen each other for more than a year, and Ino has grown up a lot. Her long golden hair hangs down behind her, making her look particularly bright under the sun.
Chiya's eyes stayed on her for a moment, and then quickly looked back.
Fortunately, I'm wearing a mask now, and my changes should be very big now, and I probably won't be able to recognize him.
Asuma looked at Konoha Ninja who had withdrawn from the outpost, and then looked up at the Sand Village flag that had been hung up again.
He took the cigarette out of his mouth.
"What's going on here?"
"Asuma Master!"
"This man suddenly attacked the outpost, and all our people were injured by him!"
Asuma looked around.
Dozens of Konoha Ninja were supporting each other and standing on both sides of the road. They were more or less injured, but no one died.
He looked at the man in black robe in front of him again.
"Who are you?"
Chiya deliberately changed his voice.
"It doesn't matter who I am."
As he spoke, he pointed to the road outside the post.
"Take your people and leave here."
Asuma didn't move.
"Daimyo of the Land of Wind has agreed that Konoha will assist in the defense here."
"You injured Konoha Ninja, and now you want to drive us away?"
Chiya shook his head.
"I don't care so much. This place belongs to me. Take your people and get out."
Asuma stared at Chiya for a few seconds, then touched his waist with both hands.
Whoosh!
Two Chakra Blades were pulled out by him.
"Since you don't want to say anything, I'll take you down first and then ask."
The wind attribute Chakra quickly extended along the blade, making a harsh friction sound.
Asuma stepped forward and suddenly rushed towards Chiya.
The distance between the two people quickly shortened.
Chakra Blade slashed horizontally towards Chiya's chest.
Chiya made no movement. He lifted Futsu no Mitama lightly and held the knife and sheath in front of him.
Dang!
The two weapons slammed together.
The wind attribute Chakra on the blade brushed against the scabbard and brought up a string of sparks on it.
Asuma's arm exerted force, and another Chakra Blade stabbed Chiya's abdomen.
Chiya turned the scabbard, moved the tip of the knife to the side, and then kicked Asuma in the chest.
Asuma immediately raised his arm to block it.
Bang!
The two of them took a few steps back at the same time.
Asuma lowered his head and glanced at the Chakra Blade in his hand.
The two consecutive collisions just now failed to leave any trace on the scabbard of the knife.
He raised his head.
Chiya has rushed over again.
The black robe brushed against the ground, but Futsu no Mitama still had not taken out its sheath.
Dang!
Dang Dang!
The two exchanged blows quickly in the middle of the road.
Asuma's Chakra Blade was faster and faster each time, and the wind attribute Chakra kept passing by Chiya. However, Chiya never drew his sword. He only used the scabbard to sweep and stab.
"Choji!"
Shikamaru suddenly shouted.
"Leave it to me!"
Choji rushed over from the side.
As he ran, he quickly Hand Seals.
"Partial Multi-Size Technique!"
His right arm suddenly swelled and became thicker than his body in the blink of an eye.
The huge fist brought up a gust of wind and hit Chiya directly.
Chiya ducked sideways.
Boom!
The ground was punched with large cracks, and yellow sand and gravel instantly splashed up.
Before Chiya could stand firm, Choji's other palm had already swept over.
Chiya jumped back, just avoiding the palm of his hand.
Asuma immediately rushed out of the smoke, and the two handles of Chakra Blade moved up and down, sealing the position where Chiya landed.
Chiya twisted his body in mid-air, used the scabbard to block one of the Chakra Blades, and fell to the side with the force of the impact.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed a Chakra wave coming from behind.
Ino was already standing there.
Her hands formed a square mudra, and her body was facing Chiya.
"Mind Body Switch Technique!"
Not good.
Once controlled by Ino, even if it only pauses for a moment, the shadow of Shikamaru will immediately follow. Asuma and Choji are still standing by, which will be very troublesome later.
The cooperation between these people is indeed perfect, and they are indeed the Ino–Shika–Cho combination.
Chiya turned his head sharply.
Behind the mask, the pitch-black eye instantly turned scarlet, and three Tomoe slowly rotated.
Ino happened to see the Sharingan through the narrow hole.
In an instant, a biting cold Chakra pierced Ino. It was not an illusion, it was just a Chakra attack.
There was a loud bang in her head, and the ninjutsu she was about to release was also slowed down by half a beat.
Chiya seized the opportunity, stepped hard on his feet, and his figure disappeared instantly.
Mind Body Switch Technique failed.
Ino hurriedly stopped the Genin operation, his face had changed.
She had long noticed that the figure in front of her was very familiar.
Now he still has Sharingan.
She stared at Chiya, and her breathing became a little rapid.
Could it be him?
"Ino!"
Shikamaru's shout brought her back to reality.
Asuma and Choji have rushed forward again.
Chiya was attacked from the front and back by two people and could only keep changing positions.
Shikamaru did not attack with them.
He stood at the back, his eyes always following Chiya, while observing the terrain around the outpost.
Chiya is too fast.
You can't catch him simply by relying on shadow to chase him.
Shikamaru soon noticed several big trees growing beside the road.
The tree crown blocked most of the sunlight, leaving a large shadow on the ground.
Shikamaru moved a few steps to the side.
His shadow slowly stretched along his feet, slid into the shade of the trees, and soon disappeared.
"Teacher Asuma!"
Asuma heard Shikamaru's reminder and immediately understood what he meant.
He suddenly increased his speed and slashed at Chiya several times.
Choji's arms swept over from the other side at the same time.
Chiya fended off Chakra Blade, and then dodged to the side, but Choji's huge palm had already sealed the area.
He could only continue to retreat.
Asuma pressed forward step by step, never giving him a chance to change direction.
After several fights, Chiya was gradually forced under the tree by the two people.
Asuma suddenly stabbed his shoulder with a knife.
Chiya ducked back, and as soon as his feet stepped into the shade of a tree, a slender shadow suddenly appeared on the ground.
The shadow instantly connected with the shadow under Chiya's feet.
His body suddenly stopped.
Shikamaru Hands Hand Seals, a smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Shadow Imitation Technique, success!"
For a moment, Chiya felt that his body was stiff and he could not move.
Chiya subconsciously mobilizes Chakra.
The majestic Chakra in his body surged out instantly!
The shadow connecting the two people trembled violently, only for a moment.
Chiya Forcibly raised his right foot and took a step forward.
Shadow Imitation Technique was immediately freed.
Shikamaru shook his body and took half a step back.
"So fast?"
Chiya had just resumed action when a violent wind sound suddenly came from above.
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
A green figure rushed down from mid-air.
Chiya only had time to raise his arm.
Bang!
Kai kicked him hard in the arm.
The huge force instantly kicked Chiya away.
Chiya flew several meters sideways and hit a tree heavily with his shoulder. The white mask on his face also suddenly came off.
The mask flew up into the air and fell far away with a snap.
Chiya fell from the tree, put one hand on the ground, and quickly stabilized his body.
Kai fell to the ground and laughed.
"This is youth!"
Rock Lee also shouted excitedly.
"Teacher Kai is so awesome!"
But everyone else was stunned.
Chiya sighed, now he was done with it.
Other people's eyes have already fallen on Chiya's face.
The Chakra Blade in Asuma's hand stopped.
Shikamaru and Choji also stood there, staring blankly at the face that had grown much longer.
Ino has already made speculations.
But after seeing Chiya clearly, she still froze there.
"Chiya..."
Chiya stood up minding his own business, his face frighteningly cold.
Ino's eyes turned red.
She subconsciously took a step forward, as if she wanted to run over.
Chiya looked over instantly, the cold and unfamiliar eyes piercing her heart.
For a moment, all the grievances, excitement, joy of reunion and other emotions seemed to be choked in my heart.
Can't go up or come down.
Ino stopped instantly.
She stood there, looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, not daring to move forward anymore.
Tears escaped from his eyes and dripped down his cheeks to the ground.
Chiya sighed inwardly.
It's all Konoha Ninja.
Ino The closer you get to him now, the more trouble you will have when you return to the village.
Chiya seemed to have not seen it and picked up the mask that fell on the ground.
He dusted it off and put it on his face again.
That familiar face was quickly covered again.
"I told you."
Chiya held Futsu no Mitama and looked at the crowd again.
"Take your people and leave here."
Asuma was silent for a long time.
He took back the wind attribute Chakra on Chakra Blade, but still did not put down the weapon in his hand.
"Our mission is to hold this post."
"Konoha Ninja will not give up the mission casually. You should know this very well."
Chiya nodded.
"Okay."
His hand fell on the hilt of the knife.
"Then we have no choice but to take action."
Ino was already crying with tears in his eyes.
She wanted to say something, but her emotions were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say anything.
Kai took a few steps forward at this time.
He looked at Chiya, who was wearing a white mask in front of him, and took a stance, with one hand spread out in front of him and the other behind his back.
"I paid attention to you when we were Chunin Ninja Exams."
"I didn't expect that we would meet again in a place like this."
Chiya turned to look at him.
Kai's eyes have become serious.
"Since no one is willing to retreat, let's fight first."
"Let me see how far you have grown over the past year or so."
Asuma didn't stop it, just reminded it.
"Kai, don't be careless."
Kai grinned.
"I know."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet exploded with a bang.
The green figure disappeared instantly.
The next moment, Kai had rushed in front of Chiya.
"Leaf Strong Whirlwind!"
