In early autumn, the Fire Country is still hot, and there are still many pedestrians on the road in the morning. However, as the time approaches noon, the sun gradually becomes fiercer, and the number of pedestrians becomes sparse. I didn’t continue on my way under the scorching sun.

It doesn't matter what the land is.

Being young and strong, he was not afraid of such a little bit of sun exposure. Even the young Earth Spider Yingying could persevere with perseverance, but the 70-year-old Yoshihiro couldn't bear the hardship, so At almost eleven o'clock, they stopped on their way and found a patch of greenery near a stream. They rested in the shade and waited until they had escaped the hottest period before setting off on the road again.

"Senior Earth Spider, do you want some water?"

"Sorry to trouble you, Dilu."

The traveler swallowed the last bite of the rice ball, then reached out and took the kettle from Dilu's hand, "This time I asked you to follow an old man like me, which slowed down your speed. I'm really sorry for you."

"It's nothing. I'm not in a hurry to go back to the temple. Besides, the teacher told me that life is all about practice."

Dilu said with a smile.

"Is Zhongjue presiding over it? Alas! I heard many people say that he was a wise man more than 20 years ago, but it's a pity that he has always been on the fringe side." Yizhi Xingzhe sighed regretfully.

"Teacher has not been in good health in recent years and has rarely been out of the temple."

"It's true. If I remember correctly, the host Zhongjue is older than me. As I get older, my bones can't support it...etc." Sitting on a stone under the shade of a tree, Yakuza no Kyoko, who was drinking water slowly while holding a kettle while chatting with Jilu, suddenly frowned.

He lowered his voice and asked: "Di Lu, listen to... the sounds of the insects, have they become quieter?"

Is it his own imagination that he is a little unsure?Or... is there a problem?

Time has not only taken away his energy and physical strength, but also his ears and eyes have become dull.

Otherwise, why would we confirm with Dilu?

And based on the principle of caution, while asking in a low voice, he quickly moved the kettle to his left hand. He gently exerted force with his right hand, and the kunai hidden in his sleeve slipped into his hand and sat diagonally opposite him. When he heard Yizhi Xingzhe's words, his ears immediately pricked up and his nerves tensed up.

then,

He found that what the traveler said was true. The buzzing of insects that had been lingering in his ears had indeed become smaller, as if they had been killed or driven away?

As expected of an old-timer,

Even though he is old, this keen perception makes him, a young man, feel ashamed.

"Senior Tu Spider, wait a minute, I'll go take a look..."

He wasn't finished yet.

The unusual movement from the ground beneath my feet interrupted the brewing words. For no reason, a trace of familiarity emerged in my heart. Such an attack method is not unique. Launching a surprise attack from the ground is something almost every ninja who practices earth escape has done. Everybody knows the trick.

But just seeing the palm reaching out from the ground to grab his ankle,

He immediately realized the identity of the attacker;

"Kamanosuke!!"

The angry roar startled the birds living in the forest.

Dilu used the Substitute Technique to avoid the surprise attack from the underground. Then he stood firm in the new position and at the same time, he performed the starting position of a fairy. Chakra was released along specific acupuncture points, and he moved his body. Zhou’s natural energy, and then—

[Come to welcome·Thousand-hand killing]

Invisible fists roared in like a storm.

The ground was deformed by the violent punches, but unfortunately Kamanosuke, who was hiding underground, was also familiar with Jilu's various methods. After missing a hit, he immediately dived as deep into the ground as possible to avoid being hit by that person. Violent attacks hurt.

"Kamanosuke, you bastard, get out of here!"

Dilu, whose anger could not be suppressed, roared angrily,

Kamanosuke didn't respond. Chiriku gritted his teeth and turned his eyes to look around. Only then did he notice that Yakuza was also attacked, and... the attacker was Kazuma! ! !

No, it’s not just Kazuma, Kohomaru, Yun Guang, Tenmei, Murasaki, plus Kamanosuke lurking underground.

The colleagues he had been searching for not long ago without finding anything appeared in front of him at this moment. Kazuma, Zizi and Yunguang were working together to attack the warriors. Kohomaru waved his sword towards the protector. The Earth Spider Hotaru's Dunbei attacked forcefully, but Tenmu did not participate in the battle. Judging from the posture, he should be exploring the surrounding situation.

The anger grew stronger.

He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt in his heart, because because of him, he had brought great danger to senior Yizhi Xingzhe and the others.

only--

The next moment he was awakened by the shouts of the warriors.

"Jilu, please, take Hotaru out of here." The seventy-six-year-old warrior with white hair flying, waving the kunai in his hand struggled but was very tenacious to resist Kazuma's four wind blades. He had to dodge the attack of the Blade Iron Claw and the poisoned Qianbon by Zi Zi, and he had to always be on guard against Yun Guang's Thunder Escape Technique.

As he spoke, the old man waved the scarred kunai again to block Kazuma's attack.

The index finger of his left hand quickly moved across the void,

Although it did not fall on the paper, anyone with good eyesight would be able to see that the warrior had written the word "wind", and then the strong wind rolled up, blowing away the thousand poison-tempered books thrown by Zizi, and whizzed away. The strong wind left several bloody wounds on Yun Guang's body.

Even Kazuma took several steps back to avoid the fierce wind.

This is the secret technique passed down from generation to generation by the Earth Spider clan——

【Word Binding Technique】

Just write down the words to exert the corresponding power. For example, when the traveler just wrote the word "wind", he attracted strong winds to help him fight off the enemy. Of course, this secret technique also has its limitations and shortcomings. , but that’s a story for another day.

Let’s talk about the present,

"Senior Earth Spider?"

Hearing Yizhi Xingzhe's shouting, Dilu didn't react at all.

Let him leave with Earth Spider Ying?

Shouldn't he stay and fight for the chance of escape for Senior Yu Zhizhe and the others?No matter how high the anger in his chest was, his reason was not overwhelmed. Just relying on his seniors and the Toshibei, he was no match for Kazuma and the others.

At this moment,

Escape is the only chance.

But it was impossible to say that everyone escaped together. Someone must have stayed behind to stop Kazuma and others from pursuing.

"They came for my clan's forbidden arts. Dilu, take Ying and leave. They won't stop you. My clan's forbidden arts are on my body. If I die, they will get nothing." , even searching my memory is useless, only if I am alive can they obtain my clan’s forbidden techniques.”

The warrior shouted loudly.

This was said to Jilu, and also to Kazuma and others.

to be frank,

He didn't know Kazuma and the others, but he felt that the way Kazuma looked at him was the same as the attackers who tried to seize their clan's forbidden arts that he had killed, so he simply tried to shout Come out and see why these guys are here.

The reactions of Kazuma and others also confirmed that his guess was correct.

"As expected of a warrior."

Kazuma clapped his hands, temporarily stopped the attacks of his companions, and said loudly: "You are right, my target is your clan's forbidden technique. As long as you give me that forbidden technique, I can let you live." , anyway, your life and death means nothing to me, I only want forbidden techniques."?

This word——

Half-truth.

It is true that the target is the forbidden technique, but if possible, he would not hesitate to add a few good quality materials to his [Dead Man's Soil] forbidden technique. Of course, if there is really no other way, then he must seize the forbidden technique as the method. Top priority target.

Seeing this, the traveler sighed helplessly.

Not to mention there was much anger or despair. At this moment, his mood was unexpectedly calm. It was not that he had not expected such an ending, especially since his health had been deteriorating in the past two years. When he fell asleep every day, he was worried that he would not be able to see the next chapter. In the second day of the sun, death was only a stone's throw away from him.

It all depends on whether he dies on the bed or on the battlefield.

Now it seems,

Perhaps death in bed is destined to be an impossible option.

"Kazuma, you..."

Dilu was stunned.

He thought that Kazuma and the others were targeting him, and he felt guilty for causing trouble to senior Yuzuki Gyōrō.

Is the result the other way around?

However, after re-examining the situation in front of him, he had to admit that what senior Yuzuki Gyōsha said was right. The target of Kazuma and others was not him, otherwise Kamanosuke would not have attacked him, and those who were besieged would not have been him. He is not a warrior...

"Dilu, I can't hold on for too long. I have already taken a soldier's food pill, and I can barely stop them for about 3 minutes. You and Dunbei leave with Hotaru. Don't talk nonsense. Look at us. In terms of friendship, please take Firefly to the Hokage to assist you."

Yakuza no longer paid any attention to Kazuma's words.

Although the phrase "people become mature with age" has a certain derogatory meaning, it is not inappropriate to apply it to a serving practitioner. He witnessed the end of the Warring States Period with his own eyes, witnessed three ninja wars, and even participated in one. , this life experience can be described as magnificent.

I have seen so many intrigues, how could I be fooled by a young boy like Kazuma!

He didn't believe Kazuma's promise at all.

Based on his experience, situations like this could never end peacefully. They would either be massacred to death, or they would fight desperately to survive. Of course, there would occasionally be cases of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, but at that time, for decades These are rare situations that may not be seen once. Generally speaking, the first two endings are the most common.

Therefore,

He took the Bingliang Pill as soon as the battle broke out, stimulating his aging body to forcibly extract some chakra. If not for this, he would have been beaten to the ground by Kazuma and the others, but the Bingliang Pill was not What a panacea for bringing the dead back to life.

It is a chronic poison that drains the lake and catches the fish.

His aging body could not bear the power of the second Bingliang Pill.

Therefore,

3 minutes,

That was all the time he could buy.

As for using forbidden techniques to make a comeback and wipe out Kazuma and others in one fell swoop... Unfortunately, this is impossible. Their clan's forbidden techniques require preparation time. The longer the preparation time, the less destructive the forbidden techniques will be. The bigger it is, and now he doesn't have that time at all. What's more important is that the chakra required to activate the forbidden technique is also beyond what he can afford.

"I don't know what's wrong!"

With a cold face, Kazuma said these words from between his teeth, and waved his hands at the same time, so everyone who had stopped started to attack again.

"Senior Earth Spider, I..."

Di Lu has something else to say.

but--

"Land!"

"please!!"

"There is less than 3 minutes left!!"

All the words were blocked in his throat. Dilu felt like he was holding a ball of fire in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent it. He could only stagnate in his heart. He looked at Kazuma and the others, gritted his teeth hard, and moved toward the escape troops. Mamoru and Earth Spider Hotaru flew away. Kamanosuke, who had been floating underground, immediately took action again upon seeing this, trying to hinder Chiriku's actions.

However, the traveler wrote the word "Thunder" in the air.

then,

Thunder echoed and the sky fell.

Kamanosuke emerged from the ground in disgrace, and the thunder that fell from the sky almost took him away in a wave. If he and Jilu weren't so close, Yoshinosuke would be worried that Jilu would be implicated. To be honest, Even if it doesn't really kill him with one strike, it can definitely keep him in bed for three to five months.

Jilu didn't care about Kamanosuke.

Because Yakuza no Kyoko said he would stop Kazuma and the others, and all he had to do was to escape with Hotaru, the earth spider, together with Dunbei, the thunder just now was not only aimed at Kamanosuke, but also at Kazuma, Yun Guang, Murasaki and Kazuya. Kohomaru, who was entangled with Dunbei, was struck by lightning.

They were forced to retreat and dodge,

This gave Jilu and Dunbei a chance.

Jilu rushed to Dunbei's side, stretched out his hand and directly picked up the earth spider Hotaru, and Dunbei, who had been slashed and bruised by Kohomaru, ran towards the northeast at the same time. It was not that they were unwilling to go southwest. He walked in the direction of the mansion because Kazuma and the others happened to be blocked in the southwest.

At this moment,

Naturally, the first step was to stay as far away from Kazuma and the others as possible.

It wouldn't be too late to return to Daming Mansion to look for Uchiha Sogenu after it was safe.

"grandfather--!"

The earth spider Hotaru, who has been silent since the beginning of the battle and said nothing, trying not to cause trouble to his grandfather and Dunbei, lay in Jilu's arms, looking at his grandfather's distant figure, as if he realized this time The separation may be an eternal farewell, and I couldn't help crying.

But not many tears were shed,

Dilu said softly "Sorry" and hit Tu Ziying on the back of the neck with his knife. The girl fainted instantly and her crying stopped abruptly.

beside,

A deep sadness flashed in the eyes of Dunbei, who was very pale due to excessive blood loss, but he tried his best to suppress the low mood in his heart. Now is not the time to be sad. What he has to do now is to protect Miss Hotaru. For safety, even if it means risking his life, he must escort Miss Firefly to a safe place.

Yizhi Xingzhe looked at the departing figures of Di Lu and others with relief.

Then,

He completely gave up on his future, which probably didn't last long.

Chakra was squandered wantonly, hurting this already decayed body without mercy.

He used the [Word Binding Technique] to its extreme, and with his own strength and this old body, he blocked Kazuma and the others for 2 and a half minutes. During these 2 and a half minutes, no one of Kazuma and the others was allowed to stand. He escaped, and then as the chakra was exhausted, the backlash caused by the Bingliang Pill made it very difficult for him to even lift his fingers, and he couldn't even commit suicide.

but,

He only had one breath left.

"Zizi, don't let this old guy die, the forbidden technique is not there yet..." The traveler felt that the voice was getting farther and farther away from him, and he could no longer hear what Kazuma and the others were saying. The eyelids that hung like huge boulders slowly fell down, and the scene in his field of vision changed from blurry to dark.

then,

Consciousness also fell into boundless darkness.
