The feeling was so intense, and the voice so close, that he had to turn his head to look at the scenery behind him.
This turn was significant.
It gave him quite a fright.
A monster identical to him was chasing after him, its body covered in vines that seemed to be woven into a giant net. It descended from the sky and covered him.
"Not good!"
The squad leader of the Kumogakure was immediately alarmed. Judging from the current situation, there was no way for him to break through the encirclement.
I'm trapped by the vines!
We have to think of a way!
How can we resolve this predicament?!
By this point, the Kumogakure squad leader had fully realized that they had been ambushed. This was an ambush by the Konoha, and perhaps the Kumogakure squad had encountered the same ambush earlier.
Even if it means death, we must pass the intelligence back, otherwise more comrades will die!
This is what the squad leader is thinking right now, and it's also his inner realization.
"Smack!"
However, at that very moment, while the squad leader of the Kumogakure was still thinking about how to deal with the vines behind him, he felt his face being slapped hard, as if he had been struck by a rough whip, and felt a burning pain.
"It's over!"
When the Kumogakure squad leader came to his senses, he realized that the monster below, which had trapped his three companions, had taken advantage of his distraction to place vines around him.
It was as if two nets were closing in on him.
One fell from the sky, the other was born from the earth.
moment.
The two networks are combined into one.
All four Kumogakure ninjas were trapped.
at the same time.
The two Wood Clone ' bodies brightened, as if flames were burning within them, and strange patterns were quietly activating within their bodies.

"Not good!"
The squad leader of Kumogakure widened his eyes in horror. Although he was completely wrapped in vines and had no way to break free, his vision was still clear. He could clearly see the square-shaped talismans appearing on the Wood Clone that was rushing towards him from behind.
" Explosive Tag!"
"Those are Explosive Tag!"
"Run!"
The Kumogakure squad leader recognized the Explosive Tag immediately and shouted loudly to his three companions.
"You can't escape!"
"I'm bound!"
"There's no way to break free from this thing!"
The three Kumogakure ninjas screamed in terror, but no matter how hard they tried, the vines binding them only tightened, making it impossible for them to break free in a short time.
"It's over."
The Kumogakure squad leader's heart skipped a beat. He now realized that they had been ambushed, and the ambush was very costly. There were at least ten activated Explosive Tag in front of them, and the other monster on the ground had almost the same number.
They're bound and can't move!
Approximately twenty Explosive Tag were activated simultaneously!
Even gods wouldn't be able to escape it!
"Is this the end...?"
The Kumogakure squad leader sighed, and as soon as he finished speaking, Kakkō erupted before his eyes, accompanied by a deafening explosion that could have knocked him unconscious. The flames then began to burn along the vines.
Almost instantly.
Araki's two Wood Clone controlled the vines to converge in a circular area, encircling the fire to increase its intensity, while maintaining a relatively long distance from the densest forest.
At that distance, it would be impossible for the fire to reach that side within at least half an hour.
This is in Konoha!
Not in the Land of Fire!
The fire would be quickly discovered by the ninjas, who would then come to extinguish it, so there wouldn't be any danger.
As long as it's resolved properly, it will be fine.
Araki's two Wood Clone were still binding the four Kumogakure ninjas, remaining unmoved no matter how much they struggled under the burning heat. They endured the pain of the flames burning their bodies and did not immediately release the clones.
Hold on a little longer!
Burn them as much as possible!
When someone arrives, the clone will dissipate, leaving behind the four people who were burned.
As for how Konoha will view this matter at that time, that's not something he needs to care about.
It's worth mentioning that...
In this matter, Araki did not touch the ninja tool bags of these Kumogakure ninjas; whatever was inside was no longer important.
It's not that he doesn't want to maximize economic benefits.
The one carrying out this self-destruction mission was, after all, Wood Clone. Even though the Wood Clone possessed a certain level of strength, it was clear that it couldn't afford to be careless when facing these invaders from Kumogakure, otherwise it was very likely to fail.
Furthermore, even if the Wood Clone looted the ninja tool bag, there wouldn't be enough time to return it. In this situation, the best way for the Wood Clone to escape is to cancel the operation altogether and ignore everything else.
After hearing Araki's words, Kushina's beautiful eyes fell on Mikoto, and she quickly began to think.
If it's the truth...
She was afraid that Mikoto would ask about everything!
If I don't answer, I'll not only have to drink, but I'll also seem guilty.
A dare is better!
Although she was also worried that Mikoto might make her do something embarrassing during the adventure, she felt that it would be fine for her to choose to drink then.
After all, it's understandable to back down in action, but to back down when it comes to the issue at hand seems like a blatant attempt to cover something up.
"Truth or Dare!"
Kushina stared at Mikoto and mustered her courage to speak. After she finished speaking, she was in a state of tension, her hands clenched into fists, her palms full of sweat.
"Good!"
Mikoto nodded, about to say something, when she suddenly felt awkward.
etc!
Something's not right!
If she wanted to be honest, she could ask Kushina if she liked Araki, but a grand adventure wouldn't be about Kushina interacting with Araki!
This actually seems to be doing Kushina favor!
In the end, won't you be the one who suffers?!
Mikoto realized this and quickly swallowed the words that were still on the tip of her tongue, her dark eyes fixed on Kushina.
"How about this!"
"That bowl of vinegar will do!"
" Araki has already been dumped out!"
"Someone has to drink it!"
Mikoto's lips curled into a smug smile. She decided to use this as the subject of her dare to punish Kushina.
"I don't want to!"
Kushina didn't even glance at the vinegar placed in the kitchen. She picked up her wine glass, took a small sip, and then, with a determined look in her eyes as if she had made up her mind, downed the wine in one gulp.
Sake has a lower alcohol content than spirits, but it is much higher than beer.
Kushina was still young and it was her first time drinking alcohol. After downing it in one gulp, she felt like she was floating. Her eyes, which were sparkling with a hint of seduction, looked at Araki with a hint of flirtatiousness.
Araki, I choose truth!
Kushina had a vague feeling that if she talked to Araki about a grand adventure, he might shamelessly bring back that bowl of vinegar.
When that time comes, won't we have to drink another glass of wine?
Tell the truth and there won't be any problems!
Ask away!
Kushina was actually quite looking forward to seeing what kind of questions Araki would ask her!
"If you discover any secrets about me in the future, will you choose to keep them secret, or will you tell Konoha or someone else?" Araki asked, tilting his head.
"Of course I'll keep it a secret!" Kushina replied without hesitation.
"Thank you." Araki smiled and nodded. Receiving such an answer meant that his efforts over the past few months had not been in vain.
Although Araki's actions weren't entirely for Kushina's sake, and were mostly out of self-defense to avoid the messes falling on him unnecessarily, they still changed Kushina's life trajectory to some extent.
From the current perspective...
Kushina and I have a pretty good relationship!
That's not a problem.
"Next round."
Araki stretched out his finger and reached for the spoon. Just as his fingertip was about to touch the spoon, his head suddenly felt heavy, and a series of strong thoughts were forcibly shoved into his head.
