Chapter 187 Flame Pillar!
Because they were afraid of Shinji's Mangekyou Sharingan, Tsunade and the others did not dare to chase too fast, so with the blessing of the 'breathing method', Shinji quickly got rid of the pursuers behind him.
After galloping all the way, Shinji finally arrived at the border of the Land of Fire.
It was already bright at this time, the sun rose into the sky, and the bright sunshine filled the earth.
Naruto, who was being carried all the way by Shinji, also woke up at this time. He rubbed his eyes drowsily for a while, then he realized what he was doing and yelled: "You bastard, put me down quickly! "
Shinji shifted his gaze and glanced at Naruto: "Quack!"
For a moment, Naruto froze as if he had been electrocuted.
Now he is not a perfect Jinchuuriki. The Nine Lamas are still sealed in his spiritual world, so Shinji can temporarily control Naruto with a simple illusion.
At this time, the pursuers behind Shinji were approaching again.
Sasuke shouted from a distance: "You coward, how long are you going to escape?"
Shinji looked back at Sasuke and said, "I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry yet."
"You"
Sasuke was speechless for a moment, his face flushed.
Shikaku, who was in the team, came to Tsunade's side and whispered: "Tsunade-sama, he seems to be trying to lead us somewhere!"
Shizune on the side said hurriedly: "If we go further, we have to leave the country. Where does he want to escape?"
"This is the direction to the Kingdom of Wind!" After a pause, Tsunade was also a little confused: "If the opponent's target is the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body, then his best The choice is to get rid of our tracking immediately instead of leading us all the way to his hiding place!"
Shizune became nervous: "Will it be a trap?"
Shikaku shook his head: "There are many places along the way. There is no need to wait so long to set up a trap."
You must know that the group led by Tsunade is just to bite the vanguard of the members of the Akatsuki organization.
At the same time as they set off, the Third Hokage was already organizing subsequent reinforcements, so behind them was a steady stream of Konoha reinforcements.
As long as you don't lose track, the longer it takes, the better it will be for Konoha.
Of course, Shinji at the front knew this very well.
With the nearest Fire Nation anchor point cut off, the remaining four anchor points are all far apart from each other. Once the operation fails, it is difficult to say whether there will be time to send out a second wave of teams.
So Shinji wants to use his own strength to quickly solve the anchor points in the Kingdom of Wind, and then free up his hands to use his own mobility advantage of flying to find out the deficiencies and make up for the overall situation!
Between the chase and the escape, the two sides quickly left the Country of Fire and entered the small Country of Rivers located between the Country of Fire and the Country of Wind.
The existence of the River Country, like the Country of Rain, Country of Grass, Country of Tang and other small countries, serves as a buffer zone between big countries. Therefore, these small countries all have a common characteristic, which is a small land area. Not to mention, it is long and narrow.
So crossing the River Country didn't take much time.
Looking at Shinji in front of him, he plunged into the desert of the Kingdom of Wind as expected. Tsunade, who was chasing after him, urged the team to speed up and told Shikaku: "Make marks along the way. Let the reinforcements catch up quickly."
Shikaku said: "Understood!"
After a slight hesitation, Tsunade added: "In addition, find a way to notify Sunagakure and ask them to send people to assist us in our actions!" "
Yeah!"
Shikaku nodded again.
Shinji in front ignored Tsunade and the others who were following him. He checked the direction according to the prompts of the 'light' and tried to contact the others using 'Naohbi'.
However, since he had already entered the remote Kingdom of Wind, he could not contact any of them, including Xianglan, Bai, Ningji, and Yukito.
As for Deidara, as before, he was out of contact from beginning to end.
After another full day of galloping, Shinji finally arrived near the anchor point in the desert of the Kingdom of Wind.
Looking at the endless yellow sand ahead, Shinji breathed heavily.
Even he, after running for almost a day and night, felt that his body was a little overwhelmed, so he did not approach the anchor point in a hurry, but stopped about two kilometers away from the anchor point.
He was eating solid food and thinking deeply.
An hour ago, he suddenly turned around and attacked Tsunade's team behind him. It was precisely because of that attack that he temporarily escaped the pursuit of Tsunade's team.
However, he knew that Tsunade's team included not only the Hyuga clan, but also strong men from the Aburame clan, and they would be able to catch up within a quarter of an hour at most.
"The best way is to bypass the anchor area in front and let Tsunade and the others help me explore the situation." Shinji is
still somewhat confident in himself. After all, what he has in his eyes now is the only pair of eternal kaleidoscopes in the ninja world. Sharingan.
But he was too courageous. Once the car rolled over, the ninja world would probably be over, so he didn't want to face the grass by himself.
Fortunately, he basically walked in a straight line all the way here, so as long as he circled around the anchor point area, Tsunade and the others would definitely not notice it, and Tsunade's team would probably rush into the anchor point area.
At that time, Shinji knew clearly the strength of the enemy guarding this anchor point.
As for the safety of Tsunade and others, Shinji is not too worried.
Tsunade herself is a super nanny, and the team has top-notch detection methods such as Byakugan and Parasitic Insect, plus the "Pig, Deer, and Butterfly" combination of the older generation.
This combination should be enough to solve an anchor point.
After making up his mind, Shinji immediately took action. He first bypassed the anchor point area far ahead, and then awakened Naruto from a distance.
Naruto regained consciousness and punched Shinji directly.
Shinji was a little surprised. He didn't expect Naruto's reaction to be so sharp, so he was caught off guard and almost let Naruto break the mask on his face with a punch.
Grabbing Naruto's fist, Shinji said, "You are worthy of being the most unexpected ninja." "
Look behind you!"
Naruto suddenly shouted, and then hit Shinji with a headbutt.
Faced with Naruto's quick wit, Shinji smiled, then turned sideways to avoid Naruto's headbutt, then turned around and kicked Naruto away.
Then, he walked towards Naruto step by step: "The guy named Uchiha Sasuke just now also likes to yell like you."
Naruto got up from the ground with difficulty: "What did you do to Sasuke?"
Shinji said calmly. Said: "Of course I'll kill you!"
"What!?" Naruto was startled at first, and then his eyes turned red: "What did you say! I'm going to kill you!"
In an instant, a wave of energy erupted from Naruto's body. Extremely powerful orange-red chakra!
not far away.
"It's this ominous chakra again."
Tsunade, who sensed the nine-tails chakra, felt her heart sink, and immediately accelerated her speed, leading the team into the anchor area!
Swish, swish.
When Tsunade's team invaded about a hundred meters near the anchor point, amidst the sound of breaking wind, countless black shadows sprang out from the desert and faced them.
at the same time.
A strange hurricane blew up all around, kicking up a cloud of sand and dust that covered the sky!
In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened under the cover of sand and dust, as if day had turned into night in an instant.
"It's a trap, everyone, be careful!"
Tsunade, who was trapped in the dust, quickly shouted a warning.
However, because the wind and sand around her were too fierce, her shouts were quickly lost in the roaring hurricane.
Fortunately, the people traveling with them were all elites and did not need Tsunade's warning. Everyone was ready to fight, so when the black shadow rushed towards them through the sand, they did not panic, but immediately launched a counterattack .
far away.
Looking at the sudden sandstorm, Shinji frowned slightly and murmured: "So that's it?"
He deliberately arrived at the anchor point during the day, hoping to use the sun's natural restraint on ghosts to weaken the guards in the anchor point area. strength.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually came up with this way to deal with the sun.
There is no doubt that the sandstorm in front of him must be man-made. Shinji speculates that it should be some kind of vampire technique that can control the wind.
It takes advantage of the desert terrain of the Kingdom of Wind and uses the wind to lift off the yellow sand in the desert, forming a 'parasol' to block the sun in the anchor area.
Uh-huh!
The nine-tailed chakra overflowed, and Naruto, who had already revealed one tail, jumped up and pounced on Shinji.
Shinji calmly withdrew his gaze and glanced at Naruto.
Plop.
Naruto, who was furious one second, fell to the ground with a dull expression the next second, as if he had fallen into some kind of dream.
At this time, Shinji slowly moved forward, passed Naruto who fainted on the ground, and walked towards the anchor point area.
When Tsunade's team invaded the anchor area just now, Shinji's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan could clearly see the dozens of black shadows that sprang out from under the yellow sand.
Without exception, they are all bloody evil spirits!
So in his opinion, Team Tsunade has helped him draw out the guarding power of this anchor point. Now he can take advantage of the opportunity when those ghosts are entangled by Team Tsunade to quickly eliminate the ghosts buried in the desert. This is the anchor point.
Soon, he also stepped into the sandstorm.
Following the prompts from the 'light', he raised his arms to shield himself from the wind and sand, and hurried towards the anchor point.
Although the interior of the sandstorm was dark with flying sand and rocks, it was not completely blind to him with the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
In fact, such an environment is more beneficial to a ninja like him who is a ninja with pupil skills.
"The anchor point should be in front."
Shinji, who was approaching the anchor point step by step, could already vaguely hear the sounds of fighting coming from all directions through the sound of the storm.
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed in front of him.
He took a closer look and found that the rash figure was none other than Uchiha Sasuke from Tsunade's team.
At this time, Sasuke had several scars on his body and his eyes were filled with fear. Behind him, a burned ghost pounced on him with its bloody mouth open.
Apparently.
It was his first time fighting a ghost, but he still couldn't adapt to fighting with ghosts, and he was soon forced into a desperate situation by the ghosts!
Sa!
Just when Sasuke closed his eyes and waited to die, Shinji felt in front of Sasuke with a 'Blinking Technique', and then kicked away the ghost that rushed towards Sasuke.
Seeing that the ghost was knocked away, Sasuke was relieved at first, but when he saw through the wind and sand that the one who saved him was Shinji in a red cloud suit, he was suddenly shocked.
"Hey!" Shinji sighed and said in his heart: "The village is really true, why did you bring Sasuke out? Isn't this nonsense!" After complaining, Shinji
glanced at Sasuke: "If you don't want to die, just Follow me!"
Sasuke was stunned for a moment.
Shinji no longer cared about Sasuke, and once again followed the 'light' prompts and rushed towards the anchor point. According to the beep of the 'light', the anchor point was only ten meters away from him at this moment.
Seeing Shinji's figure gradually disappearing into the dust, Sasuke hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and chased after him.
Listening to the almost inaudible footsteps behind him, Shinji withdrew his last bit of concentration and concentrated on searching for the anchor point.
"It should be around here,"
he pondered.
Because the anchor point was remotely destroyed by Bokuto's Tailed Beast Jade before, he didn't know what the anchor point was.
At this moment, everything that came into view was filled with yellow sand. If the anchor point was something, it would most likely be buried in the sand, so he considered whether to activate the 'Susanohu' and then dig three feet into the ground!
Boom.
Suddenly, a roar erupted from the sand in front!
The roar came so suddenly that for a moment, it even drowned out the sound of the storm around him. Shinji didn't even have time to react, and a flash of fire rushed in front of him.
Boom boom boom!
There was another series of roars, and Shinji was knocked out by the sudden fire. Together with Sasuke who was following him, he was instantly knocked out of the sandstorm by the fire.
This collision was like being hit by a train. In the blink of an eye, he was knocked back several hundred meters and exited the sandstorm. This shocked Shinji.
Reluctantly turning on the Susanoo and protecting himself, he took a closer look at the fire in front of him. Only then did he realize that the fire was not a ninjutsu or a vampire technique, but a person!
To be more precise, he is a swordsman wearing a great cloak!
Shinji's eyes narrowed: "Purgatory Anjuro!"
He never expected that the guard at this anchor point was actually a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Squad, and he was also the Flame Pillar Purgatory Anjuro who was known for his integrity and kindness. !
Sasuke, who was also knocked back several hundred meters, was shocked and angry at the same time.
Although the impact he received was much smaller because Shinji was standing in front of him, such an impact still made him dizzy.
What made him feel even more uncomfortable was that he was not aware of the other party's existence at all.
He didn't react until he was knocked away by the opponent. It was only at this moment that he barely noticed the opponent's figure.
"Damn it, why is this happening!"
He covered his eyes, his expression distorted.
He originally thought that although his Sanmagatama Sharingan was not as good as the Mangekyo Sharingan, as a rare pupil technique in the ninja world, it was enough to be proud of other ninjas, but he did not expect to be slapped in the face again and again.
