I'm doing scientific research in the Ninja World

"Xiao Ming, are you okay?"

Hizashi held the penetrating wound on his collarbone and came to Xiao Ming who was leaning against the tree trunk.

"Captain, are you injured?"

Xiao Ming, who was also in pain, asked anxiously. He grimaced in pain because of the fracture of his arm.

If it weren't for the care of the captain and teammates in the previous battle, he might have become a corpse now, and the injured part of his body was bleeding, which was obviously a serious injury.

The other two team members were also seriously injured. Their physical soft fists were not indestructible, and it was common to accidentally hurt their tendons and bones.

Both of them had different degrees of hand tendons strained, which was not worth mentioning compared to the enemies they had solved.

"It's okay, we have been exposed, hurry up and retreat!"

The ninja who knew medical ninjutsu in the team hurried up to stop the bleeding and bandage Hizashi's wound.

They came to the border of Taki Country and Earth Country. This was the second wave of enemies they encountered today, and the ninja teams they encountered were getting more and more frequent.

They took the initiative to avoid them several times, but this time, they were exposed because the enemy team also had sensory ninjas, which also put them in a difficult battle.

"Let's leave quickly before it gets dark."

Two members with less serious injuries helped Xiao Ming up and hurried back to Konoha.

Of course, they couldn't go back the same way. They had already planned another relatively safe route, which was all prepared long ago.

Looking at Hizashi who was still leading the way, Xiao Ming's eyes were full of guilt and gratitude. He seemed to think of the will of fire that the Hokage said.

"Is this the spirit of dedication?"

It must be said that the brainwashing of the Third Hokage was still very effective. He secretly vowed in his heart that he would become such an excellent ninja in the future.

Not long after they left, a Rock Hidden Ninja came to the battlefield where the two sides had just fought.

"Iwagakure Ninja!"

The man hurriedly checked the bodies lying on the ground. The pulse had stopped, but the blood was still warm, which obviously happened not long ago.

"Old Purple, there is a slight chakra fluctuation in the left front, which should be the party that just fought!"

The man was the Four-Tails Jinchūriki Old Purple, who rushed here along the border from the Land of Grass and planned to go to other small countries.

The reason why he followed the border of the Land of Earth was because the terrain here was more familiar, and it was expected that Orochimaru would not approach the places where these Iwagakure Ninjas were more frequent.

"Since I have encountered it, I can't just stand by and watch. Let me do my last bit for the Land of Earth before leaving!"

Thinking of this, Old Purple hurriedly rushed in the direction indicated by Sun Wukong.

His speed was not comparable to that of the few remaining soldiers of Hiashi. Not long after, Old Purple shook his head and saw several fleeing black shadows.

Similarly, Hiashi and his companions also noticed the pursuers behind them, but they were still a little far away, and it was almost dusk, so they didn't see the faces of the pursuers clearly.

"Captain, there are pursuers following us!"

The teammate who was responsible for the rear alert immediately reported the situation to Hiashi who was leading the way.

"Speed ​​up, there is a forest ahead, and our chances of escape will be greater if we go in!"

As they spoke, their pace became faster, and Lao Zi behind them also felt the speed of the people.

He simply clenched his ten fingers, and the next moment the Molten Chakra Mode emerged, and the speed also increased sharply.

"Don't run away, thief!"

Just as Hiashi and his companions stepped into the forest, Lao Zi rushed over like a cannonball, and passed them and hit them heavily in front of them.

"Dear donors, it's not good to pretend to be stupid and leave?"

Lao Zi folded his hands on his shoulders without any monk-like appearance, and looked carefully at the people in front of him.

"It's... Lao Zi, the Jinchūriki of Iwagakure!"

Xiao Ming swallowed his saliva and said. They knew the Jinchūriki of each village, and they paid special attention to the two Jinchūriki of Iwagakure in this war.

Although it was the first time they met, they were already familiar with Lao Zi and Han. Before carrying out this mission, they were reminded not to act rashly when encountering Jinchūriki, and they could retreat directly.

"It seems that we are not so lucky that we can escape danger every time!"

Hiashi's heart sank. He didn't expect that Iwagakure would directly send Jinchūriki to stop them.

Fortunately, there was only Lao Zi, and they were not without a chance of winning. If two Jinchūriki appeared at the same time, they could only wait for death.

"Listen to my orders and prepare for battle! Next, we will flee in different places. This way, the survival rate will be higher. Someone must return to the village alive!"

Hiashi is not a fussy person. As the leader, he must stand up when it comes to making decisions."Captain! If we don't leave, we'll just have to fight him!"

"Yes, so what if he's a Jinchūriki? Our Hyuga ninjas have never been afraid of outsiders!"

"Shut up! This is an order! If you still recognize me as your captain, do as I say!"

This is not the time to push and shove and be indecisive. Only by staying alive can you show your value more.

Just when Hiashi gave the order, Lao Zi seemed to have seen their plan. He was also an experienced ninja. It was not just talk for one person to surround four people.

"Earth escape·Earth clone!"

Lao Zi immediately created three earth clones, and each of them was in the molten chakra mode.

The face of the Hiashi team changed drastically after seeing this. At this time, they were all seriously injured, especially Xiao Ming and Hiashi. Let alone running away separately, they would definitely be too busy to take care of themselves if they fought.

"Want to leave? I'll send you to heaven directly!"

Before they could run away separately, Lao Zi's earth clone intercepted them one by one.

Hizashi's expression was also a little gloomy, and there seemed to be a trace of death in his eyes!

But Lao Zi didn't care about these. He attacked Hizashi directly. He wanted to capture the thief first and curse the mother first.

Since being ravaged by Orochimaru, he has been very frustrated these days. No matter how calm his mind is, there is a trace of anger. Now he has met the ninjas of Konoha, he has to vent it.

"Lava Release: Burning River Rock Technique!"

"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"

The war was about to break out, and the four battlefields roared almost at the same time. Although Hizashi suffered a penetrating injury in his shoulder, his strength as a team leader should not be underestimated. He can still deal with Lao Zi in a short time.

The two Hyuga ninjas who were slightly injured were not as strong as before, but they were facing Lao Zi's clones and could barely protect themselves.

Only Xiao Ming, the most seriously injured ninja, was knocked away by the clone in a face-to-face encounter, and a large area of ​​skin on his arm was burned.

In an instant, he gnashed his teeth in pain and sweated profusely. Large-area burns are not just local pain, and the whole body can feel the piercing pain.

Lao Zi's ability is still effective against ordinary ninjas, especially on the battlefield, where group damage is particularly high. If there is no ability to restrain him, this guy will burn a large area like a cheat.

Just as several people were fighting to the death, a person five kilometers away also felt the movement of the fire rising to the sky here.

"Oh? It's quite lively!"
