Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 160 Fire

The thick smoke that filled the hotel corridors after the fire started and the panicked passengers provided good cover for Shikamaru and others.

Because of the discovery of the existence of dried persimmon ghosts, Shikamaru is almost sure that Uchiha Itachi will also appear here, and he is not too familiar with Sharingan, so he is not sure whether he can find the use of changes among the crowd. Shikamaru and others, especially Uzumaki Naruto, himself and the huge chakra of the nine tails, even if they are mixed in the crowd, in front of the ninja who can feel the chakra, they will be like a bonfire in the dark , very distinct.

"I think it's best for us to leave here now." While Shikamaru used the shadow clone technique to jump out of the window to investigate the situation, Kai also used the ninjutsu "Super Beast False Painting" to discover the situation in the hall. I don't know much about the "Akatsuki" organization, but what is clear is that Sarutobi Asma has fallen into a disadvantage at this time, and this is the case when Uchiha Itachi has not participated in the battle for the time being, so he said at this time: "Then The two rebel ninjas are very strong, even Konoha's jounin is no match for them, I am afraid we are not opponents, it is best to find Jilai first and join us."

"This is not a good way!" Shikamaru sneered when he heard Kaikai's words, and said unceremoniously: "These two came here, if they didn't get rid of Jiraiya-sama, it means that their goal is Among us, if we don’t take the opportunity to wipe them out, we will sneak up on them in the future.”

"It's a bit dangerous, but it's also a good opportunity. We can take this opportunity to eliminate these two enemies." Shikamaru said in a deep voice, "These two people should not be the ninjas of Otonin Village, and it's unclear what relationship they have with Orochimaru." , but if you let them stay behind you all the time, it is equivalent to adding a big enemy when guarding against Orochimaru!"

In fact, Kai's words can't really show that he is stupid, but the opposite between him and Shikamaru is completely opposite. Kai doesn't care about Sarutobi Asma's life and death at all, and follows Jiraiya and others to find Tsunade, and then Waiting for the opportunity to complete the task assigned to him by Shimura Danzo is the most important thing for him.

As for Shikamaru, not only from the information obtained from the original work, but also from the situation of the shadow clone investigation just now, Asuma Sarutobi is obviously not the opponent of Kisame and Itachi Uchiha, although it is not clear about him Why did he come here, but at this time the situation where Sarutobi Asma fell into danger has already happened, Shikamaru really can't ignore it, and can escape with peace of mind.

Although he has doubts about Kai Kai and has some repulsion towards him, but at this time, Kai Kai, who is a Chunin, is also an important combat force, and he is also the nominal leader of the team, so Shikamaru speaks again to Kai Kai Explained: "The woman who transferred Master Jiraiya away before must have suffered an illusion beforehand. I have already hinted at Master Jiraiya at that time that Asma is fighting the enemy below. As long as we can delay for a while, Tell Jiraiya-sama to rush back here, and then we can keep these two people behind!"

Kai's thoughts flashed, and he kept changing his thoughts.

Shimura Danzo took pains to arrange him into this team, especially highlighting his scouting ability and downplaying other strengths. Of course, he didn't mean to let Senju Tsunade return to Konoha Village to accept Hokage as soon as possible.

Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Kisame, who seem like enemies but not friends to Kaikai, and who possess superb strength, if, as Shikamaru said, they lurk after this failure and wait for an opportunity to plot against their team, what will happen? How it will affect the mission assigned to him by Shimura Danzo is still unknown.

What's more, Shikamaru's words are also somewhat reasonable-even though this reasoning is actually useless to Kai, what he is actually concerned about is his secret mission.

As the nominal captain of this team, and also a Chunin, Shikamaru has made it clear that Jiraiya will come back soon, there seems to be no reason to escape, not to mention Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji are Sarutobi Asi Ma's student, Uzumaki Naruto's attitude is also likely to be inclined to Shikamaru. If he insists on leaving at that time, Shikamaru may not agree, and this team will fall apart in an instant. After the war, the right to dispose of the matter will be If it falls on Jiraiya, his inclination is very important. As for who he is inclined to..., he judges others by himself, and feels that it is impossible for Jiraiya to incline to himself, Shimura Danzo's minion.

Kai's guess was correct, it is absolutely impossible for Shikamaru to abandon Asma Sarutobi and run away, even if he leaves, he must at least take Asma Sarutobi away from the battle and run away together.

Repay the kindness received, and repay the revenge.

Since you are a war machine, don't deceive yourself and others about "kindness". Shikamaru doesn't think he is a good person, but some bottom lines must be kept. Human beings other than oneself are extinct, so what's the point of pursuing power?

Shikamaru can ignore other people, but Sarutobi Asma has helped him a lot, and he is very good with Shikamaru whose mental age is much higher than his biological age, and he will not just sit idly by.

…………

After several teenagers had finished their discussions—more precisely, Kai and Shikamaru had finished their discussions, they moved quickly to prepare for the disguise.

After checking the ninja equipment in the shortest possible time, and discussing a simple plan, they each use the art of transformation and pretend to be panicked passengers. It is worth mentioning that Naruto Uzumaki's art of transformation is very poor. In the end, she had no choice but to become a blond girl with braids.

"Our purpose is to procrastinate and try our best to buy time for Master Jiraiya's return." Shikamaru said to Akimichi Choji and Uzumaki Naruto: "Looking at the strength of the enemy, it must be a ninja at the level of a jounin. The few of us Together, it may not be the opponent of one of them, so remember not to fight recklessly!"

Finally, after warning a few people, Shikamaru took the lead, and the few people seemed to be scattered but kept a fixed formation and hid among the panicked crowd.

The stairwell was blown down by Sarutobi Asma, and it seems that there is no way out. Although this is the second floor, as long as a man with a stronger body and a little courage can jump down, but some old and weak people or women cannot do it. When they arrived, their family members or friends could not ignore them, and were anxiously looking for a safe way out.

The temperature has been getting higher and higher, and the thick smoke has already enveloped the corridor on the second floor. At this moment, several monsters that look like tigers are not tigers, and lions are not lions. The whole body is composed of black and white. It sprang out of the air, causing ordinary passengers to scream in surprise.

This is of course Kai's ninjutsu "Super Beast False Painting". Kai, who was hidden among the passengers, quietly made seals and controlled these monsters to violently hit the gravel and wooden beams blocking the stairwell.

Fortunately, the culture of this Hokage World, especially the Land of Fire, is similar to that of an island country in Shikamaru’s previous life. Most of the houses are made of wood. Although they are flammable because of this, the materials of the houses are also much lighter because of this. The monster made of carat and ink kept knocking and bumping, and after a while, it finally knocked away these obstacles, revealing a road that was enough for two people to pass.

Passengers crowded around the stairwell were stunned. They didn't know what happened when the monsters collided with each other before. Seeing the stairwell being knocked open, they finally understood. Seeing the monsters move out of the way, they hesitated for a moment, and suddenly swarmed rushed to the stairwell.

Shikamaru and the others also followed the crowd to the stairwell, crying and shouting from time to time, calling him the name he made up now. He used the technique of transformation to change into a middle-aged man, and it seemed that he was calling Looking at his illusory son.

…………

Kisame Kisame is fighting with Asma Sarutobi.

A detonating talisman from Asma Sarutobi not only collapsed the stairwell temporarily, but temporarily blocked Itachi Uchiha’s path. Many ninjas would use the method of using Chakra to gather at the feet to climb buildings. How could it be possible? How rare is this young man who is a veritable genius even among the talented Uchiha clan?

The explosion of the detonating symbol caused the stairwell to collapse, causing a fire. After the explosion sound woke up the passengers, they contacted the fire in shock, and riots broke out in a short period of time. The high-rise passengers jumped out of the upstairs windows in a panic, and the sound of crying and screaming outside the hotel was endless.

In this case, it is not impossible for Uzumaki Naruto to hide in the crowd and escape.

While Kisame was fighting Sarutobi Asma, he was still able to distract himself from thinking about the current situation, hesitating whether to use water escape ninjutsu, and simply submerge this area, so that he can slowly find Uzumaki Naruto!

boom!

Just when Kisame Kisame was determined to attack Uzumaki Naruto and the others indiscriminately with the Water Escape Technique, a few muffled sounds suddenly came from the stairwell not far away, followed by the splashing After the stones and sawdust, a large group of people rushed out after them.

"Not good!" Seeing this scene, Uchiha Itachi and Kanshi Kisame shrank their pupils, feeling bad.

But before the two of them could make any other moves, with a louder crashing sound, several monsters that looked like tigers but not tigers rushed out from the stairwell, regardless of the stones they brought and smashed into the crowd, causing everyone to panic. With a scream, he turned around and waved his sharp claws and fangs, and rushed towards Kisame and Itachi Uchiha.

Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly, and lifted his right hand to his chest. The naked eye could only see his fingers changing slightly during the lifting process, almost bringing afterimages. During this simple movement, several flames had already condensed into Fist-sized fireballs spit out from his mouth and hit these monsters respectively. Shurikens seemed to be looming in the flames.

Fire escape. Impatiens flower claw red!
