Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 250

The moon is as cool as water, and the shimmering stars dot the night. I don't know if it's a psychological effect. Xi, who is walking in the small courtyard, feels that the moon in the country of water is not as bright as his hometown.

Xi doesn't like the climate of the country of water very much. The fog that has shrouded the country for many years makes the cold feeling almost penetrate into the bones of the people. The clothes on the body are always wet, which makes people feel irritable.

He still prefers the high mountains and cloud peaks in his hometown, the Land of Thunder. The sunshine shining on his body during the daytime makes people feel warm, while the thunder echoing in the clouds in the summertime is like the roar of a god, making him feel irritable. At that time, Xi would roar loudly with the thunder in the valley, let it dissipate with the thunder, and sway the energy wantonly to relax his tense mood.

Contrary to the country of thunder, the island country shrouded in thick fog at this moment is sometimes like a deserted ghost land, which really makes people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

It’s just that this task cannot be missed. Before the trip, Lord Raikage talked with everyone in person, and the elders who came to Wuyin Village to negotiate on behalf of Raikage also warned several Yunren including Xi on the way. Their purpose is to Form an alliance with Hidden Fog Village, except for mission needs, don't do anything recklessly.

Karui (A Qing) has always been unimpressed by this. Although Xi and Darui (A Lazy) are not very old, they have always been the best of the younger generation in Yunyin Village, with extraordinary potential. What's more, Samuyi (Ahan), Omoyi (Azhong) and her own three-person team joined in. It can be said that among the younger generation of Yunyin Village, the most powerful and most potential group of people is already more than half. The purpose of gathering here is to deter Wuyin Village, let them see clearly the growing strength of Yunyin Village, and no longer have illusions about other ninja villages, especially Konoha Village.

This is what Karui disagrees with. Since he has the idea of ​​deterrence, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, why should he appear timid?

Of course, Xi, who has a clear mind and a keen mind, understands the worries of Raikage and the elders better than Karui, who is impulsive and has no girlish appearance at all. Although excellent, each has its flaws.

Darui is the strongest, but has the highest potential but no motivation; Omoyi is thoughtful but always worrying; Karui is the opposite of Omoyi, carefree and short-tempered; He has a cold personality, and sometimes he doesn't like to communicate with others, so that he is a little slow in dealing with others.

Xi still remembers what Raikage told him at the time. Among the few people, although Xi, who is a perceptual ninja, is not the strongest, he is definitely the most mature and stable one.

Xi kicked the stones under his feet. Just as Raikage said, there is no room for failure in this mission. He has to watch his companions so as not to cause any trouble, and he must also pay attention to the actions of everyone in Muye Village, although he doesn't know How did Lei Ying know the itinerary of the team to Muye Village before the few people set off-in terms of his personality, he would not ask too much-but this has already made the relationship between Yunyin Village and Muye Village In the competition, it occupies a considerable advantage. <He Jiraiya and the others actually misunderstood the attitude of Kirigakure Village. The reason why Yunin was mixed with them in the team that greeted them was not the arrangement of Kirigakure Village, but in fact, it was the behavior of the people of Kumono who had grasped the information in advance and made their own decisions , Terumi Mei didn't have time to arrange for a few people to leave, the situation was taken into the eyes of Konoha Village, and she couldn't explain it well, so she could only make mistakes.

Compared with Konoha, which has not made any progress, the negotiation between Yunyin Village and Wuyin Village has already started. After the young ninjas fought and won again, and after exposing the fact that Konoha Village is strong outside but middle-ranked, Wuyin Village should also know who is the most suitable to cooperate with.

It's a pity that Muye Village is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and they will not be willing to sit and wait for death.Xi knew this, even though he had doubts before, now he firmly believed.

"Come out." Xi suddenly sneered, with a hint of disdain on her handsome face, she said to a corner of the small courtyard where the moonlight could not shine through, and was shrouded in darkness, "When are you going to hide?"

There was dead silence in that dark corner, but Xi's perception clearly told himself that there was a thriving Chakra there, so he still sneered and looked in the direction of Chakra, seemingly unwavering.

After a while, the person hiding in the corner seemed to understand that his disguise was useless, the shadow covering the corner changed, a pair of eyes opened abruptly, as if appearing out of nowhere in the darkness, and then a figure slowly walked out of the corner, Under the light of the moon, Xicai discovered that the other party's whole body except for his eyes was covered by a mass of pitch-black matter, hidden in the shadows and almost able to blend in with the environment.

As the dark substance covering the whole body slowly disappeared, the appearance of the person who was hidden in the corner before also fell into Xi's eyes.Xi frowned, combined with the other person's appearance, and after a quick search in his mind, he hesitated and said, "Nara Shikamaru!? What are you doing here!?"

The person in front of him looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, but he was wearing the standard leather armor that indicated that he was a chunin or jonin in Konoha Village, with a braid on his head and a Nara clan crest on his sleeve. On the back of his waist was a dagger-like weapon, and he appeared in the small courtyard where Yunin was staying. Except for Nara Shikamaru, who was now the leader of Konoha's diplomatic team as a ninja, and entered Wuyin Village, there was no one else. Others fit these traits.

On the way here, Xi read the information of several ninjas in Konoha Village, including Shikamaru. This is the most important enemy of Yunin on this trip. Pay attention, Muye Village regards Shikamaru as the trump card to deter Wuyin Village, but Yunyin Village also regards Shikamaru as the best target to suppress Muye Village's arrogance.

Darui is the genius chosen by Yunyin Village to fight against Shikamaru, but Shikamaru suddenly sneaked into the small courtyard where Yunin stayed alone, and Xi was not sure what his purpose was.

"Maybe this is a good opportunity?" Xi thought in his heart, "Why not take this opportunity to clash with Konoha Village, knock down Nara Shikamaru, who is known as Konoha Village's 'No. [-] Genius', and sweep Konoha Village's face. "

Xi was still thinking about it, but he didn't prevent Shikamaru from being seen through. After walking out of the corner, he didn't answer the other party's interest at all. Seeing himself walking out of the shadows and appearing in front of Xi face to face, Xi really relaxed subconsciously. Many, he suddenly stepped forward, and with his movements, the soft ground under his feet had been torn apart by the burst of powerful chakra, Xi, who was not far away from him, even felt the ground under his feet tremble twice.

Three pounders!

Shikamaru's fist was shrouded in a jet-black spiritual energy, like a shell fired from its chamber, smashing towards Xi who was caught off guard with a whistling sound.

Xi didn't expect Shikamaru to suddenly attack the killer, and took the initiative to attack in the small courtyard where Yunin stayed. , the body has subconsciously retreated to avoid, and finally escaped Shikamaru's fist narrowly and narrowly.

It's a pity that at night Zhongxi couldn't see the cold smile on the corner of Shikamaru's mouth clearly.

Swish!

"Black magic. Thousand illusions!" The spiritual energy covered by Shikamaru's fist quickly changed and condensed, forming a black sword like ink, stabbing at Nozomi who was already retreating without stopping. If it was daytime, Or if there is enough light to illuminate her, Xi can naturally detect the abnormality at the first time and make a certain reaction. Unfortunately, under the night, and Xi is already in a hurry, Shikamaru's simple two-stage attack successfully becomes Xi's reminder .

laugh!

The sword made of spiritual energy cuts iron like mud and is extremely sharp. Even if it is a ninja, its fragile body is still hard to resist its sharpness. Xi opened his eyes wide and stared at Shikamaru in disbelief. Blood oozed out, staining his clothes red in an instant, the damaged lungs made it difficult for him to breathe, and the involuntary trembling of his body deepened his pain.

Shikamaru watched calmly as Xi stretched out his hands to grab the sword made of spiritual energy. When he noticed the movement coming from behind, he mercilessly twisted the sword to block in front of him. This action made Xi's body almost It was cut in two, and there were even a few fingers mixed in the blood rain when the black blade dagger swung the wheel.

Swish!

Shikamaru's spiritual energy blade just held a heavy sword that was slashing fiercely. The owner of the sword had dark skin and long fiery red hair with a hint of wildness. Distorted by anger, his orange eyes fixed on Shikamaru with a bone-chilling chill.

It's a pity that Shikamaru's attention was not on the female ninja. While successfully parrying her attack, a figure also holding a dagger flashed out from behind the female ninja, stabbing at the flawed female ninja with a tacit understanding. Shikamaru.

The man with short gray hair flashed out from behind the red-haired ninja, and stabbed Shikamaru with a knife, his expression focused and serious. It seemed that the killing of his companion could not affect his emotions. The same as the training, strive to standardize the completion of an action that is repeated many times.

Seeing this, Shikamaru's eyes flickered, and he quickly pulled back. At the same time, balls of pitch-black spiritual energy enveloped his whole body in a blink of an eye, and he didn't care about the four young cloud ninjas who were awakened by the battle and appeared He has been surrounded, his hands are sealed, and the deep purple runes are fleeting on his body.

Black magic. False seal!

When Samuy, who was holding a dagger, rushed towards Shikamaru, his figure disappeared abruptly from the spot along with the rune, and under the power of the sealing technique, he formed a black ball that was almost invisible to the naked eye, which was completely different from the surrounding night sky. Integrating into one body, except for the perceptual ninja, it would be difficult for a ninja to detect it even if he observed carefully, which is why Shikamaru wanted to kill Nozomi first.

The purpose of Shikamaru coming here alone is to kill Kumo Shinobi, so he is naturally prepared. He is not worried that he is not strong enough, that he is not stronger than him, and even has overwhelming strength. It doesn't make much sense, not to mention that there are only five cloud ninjas, and one is a perception ninja who is not good at fighting.

As for the consequences of doing this to Konoha Village..., when Shikamaru decided to attack Yun Ninja, he was no longer a ninja from Konoha Village!
