Trash!
The Kusagakure traitors unleashed Fire Release, burning away Aburame Shikyō's insects.
The remaining few immediately retreated some distance, watching Tobitake Tonbo's team warily.
"Pretty alert."
Aburame Shikyō raised his right hand.
A dense swarm of insects burst from the spot where they had stopped earlier and returned to his body.
"That was a signal just now, wasn't it? That means they have reinforcements. Captain, what do we do?"
Shikyō spoke to Tobitake Tonbo.
"Do I need to say it? Kill them." Tobitake Tonbo's mission was to eliminate everyone on the other side and bring the people back.
There was no way they could waste time.
It was currently the calm-wind period in Windrest Valley. Time was of the essence, so the faster, the better.
If the violent period arrived, they would no longer be able to conduct their research from weak to strong.
The difficulty would increase considerably.
"I was waiting for you to say that."
Woof!
The two Inuzuka Gō made the same motion.
Fang Passing Fang.
Hyuga Chō and Aburame Shikyō also sprang into action.
Tobitake Tonbo tilted his head slightly in a certain direction before forming hand seals and casting a technique to assist them.
Without intelligence, his Genjutsu was not so easily broken.
The people who had been caught earlier all gathered chakra as they faced Hyuga Chō's group, preparing to respond. However, their eyes avoided Tobitake Tonbo's direction.
They clearly had experience dealing with Visual-based Genjutsu.
And at that moment, a seed took root and sprouted within their chakra.
The Genjutsu's influence, which they had just dispelled with chakra, unexpectedly took root again as they used their chakra.
"Hmph. Just hold on a little longer, and you'll die here."
Facing the two tornadoes, the leader gritted his teeth and formed hand seals.
