Naruto and Shadow

“Is there no one else?”

After tracking for a long distance, the Jonin Huo Guang of Iwagakure Village failed to trace the traces of the two Konoha kid companions.

“No, it’s impossible. That kid’s behavior can’t be acting.……”

Thinking of this, he jumped off the tree trunk and began to search in the grass.

Sure enough, there are still marks.

Because he noticed something strange in the nearby grass, Huo Guang quickly realized that there might be traces of ninja activities nearby.

Then sure enough, he found the same mark as the one made by the two Konoha brats before.

Although he couldn’t understand it, the appearance of these marks made him sure that the direction he was following was not wrong.

“Um?”

As he walked further, the firelight used the moonlight to see the wire wires hanging horizontally in the bushes, and there were several detonating symbols covered with leaves.

“Humph, such a childish trap, it seems that the kid’s companion is also a kid.”

Throwing a few shurikens inside, he easily disposed of the crude detonating talisman trap.

However, the appearance of the trap also made him wary.

It seems that there is no one here, but that they are hiding. Step by step…

He slowed down and walked to an open space step by step.

There were footprints, and there seemed to be a little bit of heat left on the grass.

“Damn it, have you already escaped?”

However, Huo Guang, who realized that the enemy seemed to be hiding, deliberately muttered to himself.

Then he pretended to be ready to turn around and give up the search at any time.

——

After seeing that the visitor not only destroyed the vigil trap she had just set, but also walked to the place where she and Hino Hikaru were planning to camp and rest, Nohara Lin, who was hiding behind the tree, couldn’t help but become more and more nervous.

But then the words of the Iwagakure ninja and his turning movements made her feel relieved again.

“Already escaped?”

She glanced at Hino Hikaru behind another tree with questioning eyes.

But Hino Hikaru only made a”run” mouth sign to her, and then disappeared into the forest in a wave of waves – he directly Invisible

“run?”

Nohara Rin was a little confused.

The enemy hadn’t left yet. Didn’t she suddenly run away and expose her position?

But soon, the land under her feet suddenly bulged, and a huge spike appeared like a onion on dry land..

Earth Release·Rock Pillar Spear!

It turns out that the ninja of Iwagakure Village who came to search for them just pretended to give up the search, but in fact he had already started to form the seal when he pretended to turn around.

And the moment he launched the attack happened to be The moment Nohara Rin relaxed her vigilance.

Unlike Hikaru, who could enter the invisible state at any time, Nohara Rin’s poor hiding skills could not escape the perception of the Iwagakure Village jonin.

“ah!!”

Nohara Lin realized that she had been discovered by the other party. It was already too late.

Although Hino Hikaru’s reminder allowed her to luckily avoid the vital point, the thrust of the rock gun still poked the outside of her thigh.

In a burst of smoke, Nohara Lin was not only forced to roll out of her hiding place, but because of her thigh injury, she was even temporarily unable to stand up from her fallen state.

“It turns out to be a little girl. Tell me the details of your mission and I will spare your life at my discretion.”

Seeing that he only tried to attack with one ninjutsu and hurt the opponent, Huo Guang’s vigilance relaxed a little.

“Or how about letting you die a little easier?”

Throwing out the Hidden Blade, the fire began to approach the young ninja in front of him step by step.

“Don’t even think about it!”

Nohara Lin pulled out a roll of bandages from the medical bag on her waist and wrapped it tightly around her injured and bleeding thigh.

Then she supported the ground with one hand and held a kunai in the other. She clenched her silver teeth in defense. attitude

“Stupid kid, then let me send you on your way!”

The Hidden Swords of Iwagakure Jounin Huoguang’s hands were intertwined, and like a bolt of lightning, he rushed towards the young ninja who was still squatting on the ground.

This is a battlefield, and it’s only life and death. There is no need for any sympathy or mercy.

“So fast……”

No way, she couldn’t dodge or block…

Nohara Lin couldn’t even see the enemy’s movements clearly.

Although her hand holding the kunai was firm, it still trembled instinctively.

It was the fear of impending death.

By the way, the enemy came from the forest ahead, and I don’t know what is happening to Kakashi and Obito over there…

And Hino-san, has he abandoned me and left, or is he nearby? ?

No, maybe it would be better if he left me behind.

The opponent’s strength was obviously at the level of a jounin. The power of the ninjutsu just now and the speed at which he was rushing toward her now undoubtedly proved this.

Because she realized that the strength gap between herself and the Iwa Ninja in front of her was too big, Nohara Lin had even started to run around in life at this moment.

I’m sorry, Kakashi, Obito, and Minato-sensei and Kushina-nee…

I don’t think I’ll be able to see you again.

—— puff!

It was the sound of the blade drawing blood through flesh.

An arc of white light flashed.

The cold white blade reflected the surprised expression on the face of the ninja of Iwagakure Village and the cold eyes of the sword holder.

Calmly and calmly finding the angle, Hino Hikaru took action at the last second, just before the hidden swords in Huo Guang’s hands were about to penetrate Nohara Rin’s chest.

“Could he actually react in just a split second and avoid the vital part of his neck?”

As expected of a Jonin, his combat experience completely overwhelms ordinary ninjas.

After seeing that his long sword only cut open the back of the ninja of Iwagakure Village instead of causing fatal injuries, Hino Hikaru felt a little regretful.

“There is actually another person! ?”

Feeling the burning wounds on his back, Huo Guang’s face was full of shock and disbelief at this moment.

He was completely unaware that there was another person hiding nearby.

Even at the moment when the other party took action, Only then did he realize that something was wrong.

And he was able to avoid the vital point just now, basically relying on his own body’s instinctive reaction and a bit of luck.

“It seems you are no ordinary brat.……”

Huo Guang, who was startled by Hino Hikaru and broke into a cold sweat, gradually calmed down after noticing the chakra fluctuations on the other party’s body.

Because, this young ninja holding a long sword seems to have weaker chakra than that female ninja.

Is he a physical ninja?

In that case, he just suffered the disadvantage of being attacked by a sneak attack. He has the best chance of winning in a head-on battle.

“Hino……”

Nohara Rin didn’t expect Hino Hikaru to save her life in the end.

In the few seconds just now, she had even thought that Hino Hikaru might have really abandoned his companions during the mission and survived.

But the moment she was rescued, she realized how superficial she was.

I even felt guilty for not fully trusting the other person.

“Can you still stand up?”

Hino Hikaru did not immediately pay attention to the enemies in Iwagakure Village, but first asked Nohara Lin on the ground.

“Can……”

Enduring the pain, Nohara Lin stood up from the ground firmly.

It just looks a little shaky

“Keep running, the enemy is a jounin, and I can’t deal with it.”

Hino Hikaru suddenly put away the long knife, grabbed Nohara Lin’s arm, and then started running wildly in the forest.

“Brat!”

I thought that the other party would fight me head-on, but I didn’t expect that this Konoha ninja would start running away as soon as he disagreed?

The Jonin of Iwagakure Village was very angry. But he had to catch up. What if these few people let him go?

If the Konoha brat succeeds in his mission, then he will be the sinner of Iwagakure Village.

It’s just that……

“Damn it, I don’t have a bandage to cover my wound!”

The wound on his back was still bleeding gurglingly. Although it was not fatal, it was still consuming him.

Especially when he was running.

Huo Guang finally understood the other party’s intention – he wanted to consume him to death.

“Hum, let me show you the true speed of Jonin, you brats of Konoha Village!”

Concentrating chakra on his legs, Huo Guang, who was already good at speed and physical skills, once again accelerated his running speed.

And not far in front of him, even with the help of Hino Hikari, Nohara Rin had an injured thigh. It still slowed down the two of them quite a bit.

The distance between them and the enemy was rapidly closing.
