In the canopy of the tree, Soma controlled the puppet with peace of mind. Through the gaps in the leaves, she could clearly see Sakumo's every move.

Compared to Sakumo who used his physical strength to fight the puppets, Somo was much more relaxed. She could see that Sakumo's movements were much slower. From the initial strong attack, he now had both offense and defense.

She believed that it wouldn't take long before it would turn into a situation where the puppets would attack unilaterally and Sakumo would just defend.

She laughed out loud, thinking to herself that in Konoha, there really wasn't a strong person in the village right now, and her worries just now seemed a bit unnecessary.

Just as Sumo expected, Sakumo's movements became slower and slower, and he could no longer attack at all. He could only carefully avoid the puppet's attacks, looking a little embarrassed.

"Well, it's time to end this boring battle."

The puppet was operated with one hand. Judging from Sakumo's current situation, she could beat him with one hand. The five fingers of the other hand moved slightly.

Lips curled up, Sumo raised his eyebrows and said, "Ah, it's connected."

Sakumo carefully avoided the puppet's attack. The sunshine in late spring was very good. Although it was past noon, the sunlight could still shine through the branches and vines.

There was light flickering on the ground, and Sakumo closed his eyes instinctively.

Through the punching wind he heard in his ears, he successfully dodged the puppet's left hook even with his eyes closed.

When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

The thousand books that were originally stuck on the ground were pierced by flexible thin iron wires. These thousand books seemed to have come to life and gradually flew up from the ground.

At this moment, Sakumo looked around, and he realized that in just a few seconds when he closed his eyes, the thousands of books that were originally scattered surrounded him, in all directions, 360 degrees, and he was just like the one who felt no pain. The puppets are at the center together.

"The Formation of Matsukaze Shigure."

When Sakumo looked at Soma who suddenly appeared in the tree in panic, the limbs of the puppet in front of him suddenly stretched flexibly. These stretched limbs were like four hard belts, which suddenly stretched Sakumo's body. The body was tied up.

Sakumo was still struggling to break free when he saw those Senbon standing in mid-air shooting towards him like rain.

His eyes widened involuntarily, and what was reflected in his pupils was the dense number of thousands of people stabbing him.

Oops, he's going to die!

This is the only place Konoha must pass to get out of the village. Anyone coming out of the village will definitely pass by this small forest.

Jing Liuli had just entered the forest when she heard a painful and shrill scream. It was a man's cry.

She was suddenly panicked because she couldn't tell who the voice belonged to, a companion or an enemy?

Quickening his pace, he jumped onto the branches and shuttled through the big trees one after another. Jing Liuli followed the sound and hurried over.

When she panted and appeared above the clearing, what came into view was Sakumo who was tied up like a hedgehog.

The man was tied up by the limbs of the puppet, and his body was covered with long thousand tattoos. He was half-kneeling on the ground motionless, and the puppet was supporting him to prevent him from falling.

Red blood seeped out from Qianbon's puncture wound, dyeing his clothes red.

He stopped moving and made no sound, just half-kneeling there in deathly silence.

Jingliuri stood on the tree trunk, and she looked at him blankly.

His face was facing Jingliuli, and even his eyes were open. He didn't know where he looked last, whether it was the sky, the earth, or the girl who was flying towards him.

The heart seemed to stop beating for a moment.

This picture was extremely impactful, and Jingruri couldn't accept it.

She held her hand on the tree trunk and dug into the rough book cover with her fingers. All her five senses lost their function at this moment, and the whole world turned gray. Only the white-haired man wearing the Konoha ninja uniform was still in her eyes.

"Why...why is this?"

She rushed over as fast as she could. She wanted to help him. Now that she had Madara's guidance, she had made a lot of progress.

In the previous battle practice, she successfully hit Madara three times. Master Madara touched her head and praised her as a good child, a smart and good child, and she already had the level of jounin's taijutsu.

She hasn't had the chance to tell him these words yet.

She clearly said she would stand by his side, fulfill his dream with him, and protect the village together.

Why did she see this before her eyes? Why did she finally become stronger and come to him and want to fight side by side with him, but he...

"Brother..." she called him softly with trembling lips.

Jingliuri jumped down from the tree, and she walked towards the man who was already motionless with some fear.

"Oh? It's a little girl." Soma stood on the tree and looked down at Joruri, who was walking towards Sakumo step by step.

Jing Liuli found it difficult to breathe. She gasped for air in the forest, slowly raised her head, and met Somo's eyes.

Sumo was startled for a moment. These ruby ​​red eyes were so beautiful. They were even more dazzling after being soaked with tears.

Was he killed by such a woman?

Jing Liuli frowned, she didn't believe this was true.

It's a lie, it must be a lie. He was such a powerful ninja, how could he die in the hands of such a woman.

"Brother, get up, don't scare me, I will be scared."

Joruri stood one meter away, staring at Soma, but she spoke to Sakumo on the ground.

"At this moment, I'm afraid he is already dead." Sumo smiled proudly at Jing Liuli.

Her fingertips moved, and the thousand books scattered on the ground flew up again. She didn't want to say anything more to the child in front of her. The lizard never came, which made her a little worried. She wanted to clean up the battlefield quickly so that she could go back to her husband. there.

In her eyes, a child of Joruri's age is not worth taking action at all.

Qianben was recovered by Soma, and the puppet was also recovered by Soma and turned into an egg again and carried it on his back.

She glanced at Joruri, then at the motionless and lifeless "hedgehog" Sakumo on the ground, and turned to leave.

"Don't go!"

Jing Liuli roared, his hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists out of anger.

Somo had experienced the sadness of losing her companion countless times. She looked back at the girl, but she had no murderous intention in her heart.

Perhaps because she became a mother, she was much kinder to children of several years or teenagers.

But the moment she turned her head, there was a "bang" sound, and the man who had fallen to the ground motionless like a hedgehog disappeared without a trace.

Countless thousand books were scattered on the ground, and there was no man in that place.

Before Jing Liuli could figure out the situation, tears fell from her eyes filled with tears. She stared blankly at the deserted grassland. Her brain had just been shocked, which slowed her reaction by half a beat.

Sumo had experienced many battles and instantly understood what was going on.

She frowned and bit her back teeth angrily.

"Damn Konoha ninja."

What was stabbed by Qianben was not the real body at all, but the shadow clone of the real body.

When exactly did she not see the mark of his shadow clone? When did she start to have an inseparable fight with a shadow clone?

If the body is not here, where will it be?

Sumo's expression changed drastically, no wonder the lizard never came...

Ignoring Jing Liuli, Soma immediately retreated and ran towards the direction of the lizard.

Looking at Senbon on the ground, and then at Soma running away with a bad expression, Joruri chased after him without even thinking.
