Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 66 Aromaphos

"Ha ha……."

The girl was running fast in the woods. Under the intense exercise, the heart was under a huge load and kept beating, even giving the girl the illusion that it would jump out of her chest, but there seemed to be a wild beast chasing after her, not to mention resting, even her head was shaking. He didn't rush back, he just panted heavily, not daring to stop, and gritted his teeth to support.

"Run! Xianglin!"

Thinking of how the captain who had been taking good care of him roared at him before, and how he tried to stop the enemy, Xianglin's eyes turned red. Ninja strength also has a certain amount of water, but it is not enough for three ninjas to deal with it. What's more, Xianglin is not good at fighting. In this case, it is even more of a burden. Otherwise she would have been killed already.

The Kusanagi Village forehead guard tied to his forehead slipped slightly due to running and bumping. Xiang Lin quickly reached out to support the forehead, but didn't notice his feet. He tripped over a tree root exposed on the ground and fell to the ground. The red-rimmed glasses were also thrown away.

"Not good!" Xianglin got up quickly with tears in her eyes, not because of the pain from the previous fall, but because she felt that the chakra of one of her companions had disappeared, and she was probably killed by the enemy at this time .

After searching on the ground with hands and feet, Xianglin finally found the glasses, put them on, and couldn't help but fall on the Scroll of Earth that fell not far away, which was given to her by the previous captain.

Going forward to pick up the Scroll of Earth, Xianglin held it tightly in his hand, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the other hand. Thinking of the captain, his originally weak and fearful eyes became firm again: "I must To find ways to!"

"That ninja is so powerful, it doesn't look like a ninja at all!" Xianglin stood still, opened her legs and ran towards the distance again, but at this time, her heart was no longer panic, because she had a goal, and she was about to He turned his head quickly, thinking of a way to rescue his companion: "Our group will lose the qualification for the exam anyway, but..."

After tightening the Scroll of Earth in his hand, Xianglin gritted his teeth lightly, with a slightly unwilling expression on his face: "..., I can use this scroll to make a deal, and with my ability, it is enough for those who have gathered a pair of scrolls The team easily avoided the enemies and traps along the way, arrived at the central tower smoothly and safely, and passed the exam." Of course, this condition must be that the other party helps Xianglin to rescue his companions, and if the team encountered does not need the Scroll of Earth, Xiang Phosphorus can also use the river Qiwan to ambush them, so it is very likely to have the scroll of heaven to deal with it, and ambushing the enemy in battle is a very tempting proposition for the candidates who are caught in a war of attrition at this time Xianglin is not afraid that the team he meets will refuse, but according to Xianglin's thinking, the best way is naturally to use his own ability to lure the candidates he meets to that Hechuan Qiwan!

"Huh?" The speed of Xianglin who was running suddenly slowed down, her pupils shrank slightly, and she felt the chakra coming from the front. This should have been something to be happy about, but the number of people on the other side surprised her: There will be six people!?"

…………

At the same time, like Kaorin, Aurome Shino, who was investigating and leading the ninja of the eighth and tenth squads towards the target, also let out a light sigh and stopped. Shikamaru and others who were following behind him When people see this, they also stop.

"What's the matter?" Shikamaru kicked his legs, jumped lightly from the tree branch, and asked after reaching Aburono Shino's side.

Aburo Shino frowned, when she heard a voice from beside her, she looked back at Shikamaru and said, "The other party is getting closer and closer to us, but it's not just our pursuit, the target is also there Take the initiative to approach us!"

"Did you find us!?" Shikamaru also frowned upon hearing this, and asked Aburo Shino.

"Hinata!" Yume Shino did not answer, but turned to Hinata Hinata who was not far behind and said, "This distance should be visible with supercilious eyes. Take a look at the situation 500 meters ahead of us!"

Seeing Yume Shino calling herself, Hyuga Hinata responded softly, exhaled slowly, and at the same time made mudras with both hands, following the movement, the delicate face appeared terrifying due to the dense blood vessels at the corners of the eyes, and the soft gaze also appeared suddenly sharpened.

Hyuga Hinata's eyes passed through the barriers of trees and branches, looking into the distance, and at the place where he was visiting, Kaorin, who was approaching quickly because he felt the chakra of Shikamaru and others, wondered why they suddenly stopped , I was secretly anxious in my heart, and couldn't help speeding up.

"There's only one person!" Hinata Hinata confirmed again carefully, then slowly rolled her eyes away, seeing that everyone was staring at her waiting for news, her cheeks flushed involuntarily, coupled with her weakness in character, her tone became even more serious She looked unconfident: "And she is running wildly, and her steps are a little chaotic."

"Iba?" After hearing Hinata Hinata's words, Aurome Shino looked back at Iba Inuzuka to confirm the situation.

Inuzuka Ya looked down at Akamaru, who was lying quietly in his arms, with the wings of his nose moving slightly, sniffing the scent. Seeing Akamaru barking lowly, he raised his head and answered Shino Aburo: "There is indeed only one person!"

"The other party seems to have a bloody smell," Inuzuka Ya gently stroked Akamaru's forehead. After seeing the pet dog barking twice again, he thought for a while and said to Shino, "Maybe there was a fight just now."

"It was attacked." Ding Ci interjected, "I don't know if the scroll was taken away."

"No, the scroll is in the hands of that person." Shino Aburome denied Choji's guess, and said, "The female is hiding in the scroll, judging from the smell, it must be in the hands of this person!"

"Since it is confirmed that there is only one person on the other side, and the scroll is in his hands, let's take a look!" Ino suggested to everyone.

"It's true. Anyway, we have six people in total. We have the advantage in numbers, so we are not afraid of the other party's tricks." Inuzuka Ya nodded and said.

"Finally... it's here!" Xiang Lin ran two steps, her legs suddenly softened, she knelt down on the grass, her hands rested on the ground, she lowered her head, panting heavily.

"It seems that I'm really being chased by someone!" A smiling, slightly frivolous voice came from the woods not far ahead. After hearing the words, Xiang Lin raised his head and looked towards the source of the voice. At that time, there were already four men, two women and six ninjas standing on the trunk of a big tree not far from Xianglin, looking at her with scrutiny. The six ninjas of the tenth class, it was Inuzuka Fang who had an out-of-character personality who spoke at this time.

"A candidate from Konoha Village? Are these two teams? Are they united!?" After seeing the forehead guards on Shikamaru and others, Xiang Lin had many thoughts in his mind, even if he was a candidate from the same Ninja Village, unless With absolute confidence, you can gather two pairs of scrolls in this exam, otherwise you will always worry that the last two teams will turn against each other. The situation of the eighth and tenth classes is still a special case. The rules and venue of this exam are actually different. To a large extent, it is also to limit the occurrence of joint ninjas from the same village. Otherwise, Konoha, the village with the largest number of people participating in the exam and also the organizer, will be easily slandered by ninjas from other villages.

However, although Kaorin has many doubts in her mind, the most important thing at this moment is to persuade Shikamaru and others to rescue her companion.

"Hey, what you are holding is the Scroll of Earth!" At this time, Inuzuka Ya had already spoken, and he was not worried about Kaorin escaping, so he stood on the tree trunk and said loudly to him: "Give it to me!" We, we will let you go."

The ninja's camouflage technique actually includes the teaching of performance, especially female ninjas, who have a natural advantage in many times of camouflage performance.

Kaorin had already begun to brew emotions when he was panting with his head down before. At this time, when he raised his head and heard Inuzuka Ya's words, his eyes were full of tears, and he said with a choked voice: "Are you Konoha's ninjas? Scroll I I can give it to you, but please take me out of this examination room together?"

"I am a sentient ninja, I can feel the chakra of other ninjas, I can help you avoid other candidates and traps, and reach the central tower safely!" Xianglin begged pitifully: "Please! It's a real place here. It's too dangerous!"

"I'm sorry, we don't need the help of a perception ninja, and..., we can't trust a strange ninja and let her lead us." After hearing Xiang Lin's words, Shino Akira pushed the round-framed sunglasses lightly , with a rare sneer on his face, he said: "You should give us the scroll in your hand, and then leave obediently, otherwise we will have to kill you!"

Aburo Shino still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Shikamaru waving.

Shikamaru thoughtfully looked at the girl half kneeling on the grass, Kusanagi Village's forehead protector, fiery red short hair, paired with red-rimmed glasses, and the ability to perceive Chakra, she had already made up her mind His identity, although he has never been a person who loves fragrance and cherishes jade, and has never had the habit of enshrining people in the original work as gods, but Shikamaru still asked Xianglin with interest: "Where is your companion?"

Hearing that Yume Shino said that she and others don't need the help of sentient ninjas, Kaorin's complexion turned pale, but then returned to normal. Seeing Shikamaru asking, after a little hesitation, she decided to tell the truth: "My My companions are fighting with others, their life and death are uncertain, and they are in a very dangerous situation, I would like to ask you to help and go to the rescue."

Kaorin knows very well that if he lies and says that his companion is fine, it will make Shikamaru and others fearful. At this time, if he says that his companion is in danger, whether it is during an ambush or after rescue, the threat to Shikamaru and others will be greatly reduced.

Yume Shino and Shikamaru looked at each other, while Inuzuka Fang asked casually, "Which ninja from Ninja Village?"

"I don't know..." Seeing Inuzuka Ya's frown, Xiang Lin hurriedly argued, "He's pretending to be Kusanagi, and I don't know who he is either!"

"You said he was pretending to be Kusanagi!?" Shikamaru asked suddenly after hearing Kaorin's words, his eyes flashed.
