Naruto: Hundred Flowers Niandi

The surrounding trees were retreating rapidly, and the sound of wind was whistling in my ears.

Sarutobi Asuma was so anxious that he jumped and ran through the forest at the fastest speed in his life. Running with all his strength consumed his energy very quickly. His breathing gradually became heavier. He didn't seem to notice the scratches on his legs and arms from branches. There was only one thing in his heart. idea:

"Faster, faster"

In contrast, Metkai's situation was much better when he was also running for his life. Although he was running with all his strength, the years of hard training allowed him to still breathe steadily. However, as long as he did not enter the gate of Konoha, When he saw the Third Hokage, he couldn't stop. This was a test of endurance.

"It's not enough yet. It's not time to open the door yet. Just hold on a little longer."

"Difficult rat" came a gloomy curse from the billowing smoke.

"Wind escape breakthrough"

A gust of wind rose out of thin air, and the surrounding smoke was blown away. The smoke dissipated, revealing ten slightly embarrassed figures.

"You'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands, little mouse of Konoha" Captain Sand Ninja gritted his teeth: "Keep going"

As Nara Shikaku expected, even if a large number of detonating talismans exploded, under the quick reaction of the experienced Suna ninja Jonin, at most they would only be disgraced and their chests would feel tight due to the vibrations caused by the explosion.

But fortunately, there was no expectation that the detonating talisman could kill the enemy. As long as it could cause trouble to the enemy and slightly block the enemy's progress, it would be enough.

In the woods about 500 meters away from the explosion site, Nara Shikaku was resting under a tree. His face was pale, and the bandage on his head was soaked with blood. Beside him, Chiba Mai was concentrating on sensing the enemy's chakra. .

In order to be able to grasp the movements of Suna Ninja at any time in order to protect one's own side and hold the other side down, the distance between the two people and the other side must be kept within a suitable range. It cannot be too far. If it exceeds one kilometer, it will be out of Chiba Mai's sensing range. If it is too close, there will be no Enough reaction time to respond to the opponent's actions.

"Ten of them are no less." Chiba Mayi said softly, with a hint of disappointment in her words.

"If they can be eliminated with a few detonating charms, then the Jonin is too worthless." Looking at Chiba Mai's expression, Nara Shikaku pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, but he only smiled halfway, and the pain on his face Let this smile become distorted.

"Teacher Shikaku, you'd better stop talking, your laughter is uglier than your crying." Chiba Mai frowned and spoke bluntly.

"Haha" Nara Shikaku didn't move his lips, but two syllables came out of his mouth, accurately expressing his emotions.

"" Chiba Mai was about to say something, but her expression suddenly changed: "They changed their route due east."

Perception, the Suna Ninja's direction of action changed slightly, deviating from the shortest route that went straight to the northeast into the Land of Fire, and turned due east.

"Do you want to get rid of us?" Nara Shikaku shook his head and stood up holding on to the tree trunk: "This cannot let them do what they want."

"Teacher Shikaku" Just when Nara Shikaku was about to leave, Chiba Mayi suddenly called him, frowned and pointed at the bright red bandage on his face: "You should stay here and rest."

Before Nara Shikaku could speak, Chiba Mai followed up and said: "Anyway, it's just a delay. I'm fast and can come and go freely. As long as you don't fight hard, you can't leave me on the other side. You stay here and wait for Asuma to come back with support." It’s also a good idea to inform them of the Sand Ninja’s movements so they can respond as soon as possible.”

"" Listening to Chiba Mai's explanation, Nara Shikaku opened his mouth wordlessly and fell into silence.

He has always been a very rational person.

Arranging for Asuma and Metkai to go back to deliver the news, while he and Chiba Mayi stayed to delay the Suna Ninja, was the best choice he made based on the overall situation.

He also knew that in the face of the current situation where Suna Ninja suddenly changed his path, Chiba Mai's proposal was also the best at this time.

The two wind blades caused far more than just skin trauma. The cheekbones on the cheeks and the skull on the forehead were all cut through by the wind blades. He was enduring excruciating pain every moment, even though he pretended not to be indifferent. He looked unconcerned, but in fact the injury on his head had affected his actions and thinking.

From the perspective of rationality and the overall situation, the best way at present is what Chiba Mayi said, he stays and she follows alone.

On the one hand, following his current situation rashly is more of a hindrance than a help. Chiba Mayi acts alone, with small goals and can come and go as he pleases.

On the other hand, he can really save the search time for help here. Now every second counts. One second late may allow the Sand Ninja team to successfully enter the hinterland of the Country of Fire. Destruction and chaos will have serious consequences.

But

Nara Shikaku lowered his head and looked at the small figure of only 1.4 meters in front of him. He looked at this extremely outstanding girl who was only 10 years old this year. After seeing the seriousness and persistence in her eyes, he finally decided to take on this arduous task. Another "cruel" task was given to her.

Nara Shikaku took out the map from the pocket of his Jonin vest, marked a certain location on it, rerolled the map, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with hope and guilt:

"Zhenyi, you have always performed with ease in past missions, but I know that you have never used your full strength. It's not that you intentionally hide it, but it's not necessary."

"But now, it's time"

"If possible, I hope you can use all possible means to intercept all the enemies at the point I marked before support arrives. That is the last line of defense. Once crossed, it will be almost impossible to keep the enemies. "

With that said, Nara Shikaku solemnly handed the map to Chiba Mayi's hand: "Let me see your true strength, Mayi."

It was the first time she saw Nara Shikaku showing such an expression. Chiba Mai was slightly startled, then weighed the map in her hand and smiled: "Teacher Shikaku, eat as many barbecue as you want and don't forget to fulfill your promise."

Turning around gracefully, with electric light on his legs and natural energy surging, he stepped on his toes. Chiba Maoi instantly turned into a shadow and swept away into the distance. His high black ponytail danced wantonly in the wind that accompanied the speed.

"We must come back alive," Nara Shikaku murmured as he looked at the retreating figure.

When his back was out of sight, Nara Shikaku put his hand on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and walked in the direction Asuma left.

He had no intention of just sitting here and waiting.

The students are working hard, how can I, as a teacher, be lazy?

If you meet Asuma's support a second earlier, you can buy one more second of opportunity and vitality for Mayi.
