"The Scorpion of Red Sand..." Kakashi dodged to where the Scorpion was just standing and stomped the ground heavily, trying to shake him out.
However, apart from a muffled sound, there was no unnecessary movement.
"Kakashi, just leave if he leaves. The problem now lies with others." Seeing Haiichi's somewhat depressed expression, Shikaku knew that they would not be able to catch the scorpion.
Then, it would be more practical to quickly support other battlefields.
"It's normal over there with Orochimaru, but underground... the chakra fluctuates violently." Haiichi looked up at Kakashi with a little worry. After all, it was a small team, and the actions had to be decided by the captain.
"Go underground." Kakashi did not put away his wartime aura, but slowly pulled down his forehead protector, covered his left eye, set a direction and started running.
Shikaku exchanged looks with his two old teammates and followed Kakashi, with Ding Zao at the end of the team.
...
"Orochimaru ran away?" Jugo tore off the last snake in his hand and jumped to Kai's side. He stared at the piece of skin at his feet that had no blood stains but no body, but his expression looked as if he had known he would be so calm.
"Run away?" Kushina only thought about him being trampled, and had not thought about the possibility of him escaping.
"This is Orochimaru's exclusive snake substitute technique. It imitates the shedding of snakes to create a chakra physical substitute. The main body... must have run away." Kimimaro explained without even looking at it, and followed Orochimaru. Maru’s past few years have not been in vain.
Orochimaru had explained the theory of this ninjutsu to him several times, but he always felt it was disgusting and useless, so he never tried it.
"Stand-in technique? Then why didn't you feel the fluctuation of chakra at that time?" The person was under his feet. Not only did Orochimaru not release chakra, he didn't even have a seal. Kai still observed these details very carefully.
"This ninjutsu has been stored for a long time, and it can be activated instantly with just a thought. Don't worry about so much. Hey, what you should do now is go check out other battlefields. There is nothing to dazzle here." Shuiyue rubbed his head against the tree trunk.
"You're still here..."
"Oh, Snake Blood is really stubborn..."
...
Underground, inside the dilapidated stronghold. Two big trees rose from the ground, and a man in ANBU attire stood in the middle of the two trees.
"In this way... let's get rid of it. Go and see that stubborn little mouse." The ANBU captain, Yamato, put away the wooden stakes spread out by his hands, turned around and moved towards a large tree shrouded in black mist. Tree.
No matter which angle you look at it, this big tree is stronger and stronger, but its health is hard to say.
The black line inside the chakra veins is not for looking at.
"Come here, let me give you a taste of the power of Yin-type chakra..." Sooner or later, the nutrients absorbed by these trees will be absorbed back by Yamato.
And Yu Ling stuffed it with enough chakra to make a shadow-level expert explode. If Yamato absorbed it rashly... he might not be able to protect himself.
Yamato stretched out his arm and pressed it on the tree trunk. The solid orange-gold light started from the root of the tree and moved slowly. After excluding the chakra of water and earth, the yang chakra appears even brighter.
"With these, it shouldn't be a problem to kill those people above, right?" Yamato raised the corner of his mouth, chuckled, and pressed his other hand on the tree trunk.
"Kill you."
"Who?" Yamato never thought that Yu Ling could still speak now, and that the voice could even echo in his ears.
"Kill you." Yu Ling repeated in a low voice, but his voice was obviously not his usual voice.
"Dream! The kid's body bones are quite strong, and he's not dead after being tied up for so long. But it's almost over, in a few minutes... Haha, mummy, let's see what else you can do!" Yamato's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty. Colorful, he raised his right hand and grabbed Yu Ling's tiny neck.
"Kill you." The two Sharingan stared at Yamato motionlessly, with deep emptiness in his eyes, and his emotions seemed to be blocked.
"Are you mentally ill? No matter what your condition is now, do you still have the guts to utter arrogant words?" Yamato listened to such provocative words and looked at the expressionless face, and couldn't help but feel angry. Needing the control of the black substance in the body, a burst of chakra spread to the palm of his hand, condensing into a strong wooden fist.
"Tenzo!"
"Yamato!"
Two calls came one after another, one on his left and the other on his right.
"Two of you, what are you doing?" Yamato paused in his movements, stepped back slightly, tilted his head and glanced at the two of them.
As expected, the only one named Tenzo was Kakashi, and from the corner of his eye, he could see that red streak that couldn't be concealed. The person who came must be Uzumaki Kushina, Lady Hokage.
"Follow us back to the village." Kushina felt a little malicious, and nine golden chains popped out from behind her, flying up and down behind her.
"Obviously... I don't want to go back with you." Yamato did not maintain his arrogant attitude just now, but lowered his voice and even murmured a little aggrievedly.
"Tenzo, as a member of Konoha Hidden Village, we have the responsibility to take you back. No matter how tortured you are here, the village will help you get through it." There is
just one thing that neither of them noticed. .
The two trees that appeared for no reason were not suspected at all.
Yamato's fake show wasn't even exposed.
"Let's go." Yamato immediately let go of his hand, and Yu Ling in front of him was covered by trees at this moment, and his chakra aura was completely covered.
"Phew, finally, this mission is finally over." Kushina half-opened her eyes and stretched greatly.
"Captain, shall we go back?" Kakashi showed a tired smile and asked Kushina in a flattering manner.
"We're not here yet, why are you in a hurry?" Those who didn't come were naturally Yu Ling and Yue Tu.
"Everyone is here."
"Yes, yes, don't you think everyone is here?" Kakashi responded smoothly, regardless of who was speaking.
"Where are Yu Ling and Tsukito?" Kushina put her hands on her hips and tapped Kakashi with her chin.
"Here."
"Here?" Kakashi felt a chill down his spine. The voice was low and muffled...
There must be no such person among the people traveling with him.
"Let's go, there's no one here." Yamato took two stiff steps, walked to Kakashi and pushed him.
"So, where are Yu Ling and Tsukito?" Kushina no longer suppressed the aura in her body, and the powerful aura suppressed the corner of Yamato's mouth.
"I have always been here... He, they have never been here..."
"I am here." It was that voice again, extremely indifferent. Although it felt thousands of miles away, it was still majestic and powerful, faintly as powerful as Kushina The aura of yang is indistinguishable.
"Yu Ling." Kimimaro came with Chonggo and others looking for the familiar scent, landed on the trunk of the tree, pierced the bark with his backhand with the bone knife, and whispered to the soles of his feet.
This was the third time they had faced this aura. The previous two times were due to Yu Ling's rampage. This trend is exactly the same as before.
"Kill you."
The tree trunk was almost hollow. After the yang chakra inside was extracted, it was dominated by the rich yin chakra. They gathered around Yu Ling, pushing and retracting along the shape of his hand. Expanding little by little.
"Why is Yu Ling in there?" Jugo is best at absorbing Yin attribute chakra, so he raised his fist and was about to smash it down. Before it even touched the tree trunk, the huge fist was knocked away by a gust of wind inside.
"Why am I in there? Of course I should ask Captain Yamato. Right?" The Sharingan rotated crazily, and Yu Ling's eyes met Yamato's. His eyes seemed to be able to kill, and he stopped Yamato in an instant. The trembling hands, feet and lips were frozen in place, watching Yu Ling walk down step by step, but there was no reaction at all.
"Yes." Under the gaze of everyone, Chongwu unexpectedly only said one word.
"Yin Escape·Yin Thunder Blade." Only the hidden sword on his right hand popped out, and Yu Ling attached the Yin attribute chakra to his whole body. When the chakra content in the body is unbalanced, this is not only the only way, but also the best way. way.
"Using the existing resources to the maximum extent? This child..." Haiyi looked at Shikaku and Dingzao with a strange look, full of appreciation, respect, and a little envy... Of course, fear is also essential. .
"The next generation is awesome. If our next generation can be as powerful as him..." "
Hahaha, don't think too much. After all, they are other people's children. Our strength is cooperation!" Dingzuo patted him carelessly. He touched their shoulders, smiled, and then turned back to enjoy the third battle that was about to break out.
"Yu Ling, do you want to murder the superior ninja from the same village?" Yamato didn't know where the courage came from. He stiffened his neck, straightened his back, and spread his hands flat, waiting for Yu Ling to come over.
"If you stop me, I'm going to kill you." No sense of reason could be felt in his body anymore. Yu Ling immediately sprinted, holding his hidden sword in front of him, straightening his arms, and the air was filled with lightning at his fingertips. The roar of the current.
"That depends on whether you have..."
Bah!
As soon as Yamato raised his hand to form a seal, Yu Ling, who had the impression that he would not be so reckless, struck directly with his sword.
Figures intertwined, blood splattered.
The aorta was directly cut open, and red and black blood spurted out continuously.
"Eh? Yu Ling, why did you kill me? You... will be punished when you go back!" Kushina couldn't help but jump to her feet, rolled up her sleeves and rushed forward, with two green lights rising from her hands. He pressed left and right on Yamato's neck, forcing the blood back.
"Let the blood out." Yu Ling's lifeless voice floated not far away, but did not attract the attention of Kushina, who was fully focused.
So...he rushed forward himself, pulled Kushina's hand away, and let Yamato bleed profusely again.
"What are you doing?" Kushina couldn't help but get angry, she frowned, and her hand that was pulled away clenched into a fist and hit Yu Ling's face unceremoniously. "Do you really want to let the ninjas from the same village die?"
"Back off. See for yourself." Yu Ling's mind twitched, and a strong chakra burst out with himself as the core, coming with momentum. Kushina was directly ejected, while Yu Ling, who was standing on the spot, pointed at a black substance on the ground as if nothing had happened: "This is it, do you understand?"
