Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 69 Ambush

"Boom!"

A huge explosion and flames rose out of thin air, enveloping Hechuan Qiwan's figure, but at this moment, Shikamaru did not have the slightest tendency to look back, and still ran towards the already established encirclement circle without looking back. go.

A large amount of soil was tumbling and flying due to the explosion, and a large area of ​​the grass was destroyed. After the fire gradually dissipated, not only Shikamarukage's avatar as a victim disappeared, but also the figure of Hechuan Qiwan.

After a while, a piece of grass not far from the explosion site suddenly swelled up. Following the splash of grass clippings and mudstones, a slender figure broke through the ground. After shaking off the dirt on his body, he jumped out of the ground.

Moisture-stained soil spilled from his body. Although some dust was stained on Hechuan Qiwan's clothes, there was no sign of damage. Obviously, Shikamaru's attacks, including the detonating talisman used last, had no effect.

"What an awesome little devil!" Hechuan Qiwan flicked the metal ghost mask, and a few pieces of contaminated soil fell from above to the ground. Shikamaru tied the Konoha forehead guard on his right arm, and he couldn't help but murmured to himself: "Is it Konoha's Shinobi...."

"Where is his companion? Ambushes!?" Kawakawa Qiwan looked at the direction where Shikamaru and Kaorin were fleeing, and was vigilant in his heart, but as a high ninja, he would not dare to move because of the possible existence of two low ninjas Standing on the branch of the big tree next to you, using your feet and legs to stand still, with the help of the branch's rebounding force, you can accelerate forward, while paying attention to possible sneak attacks by Shikamaru's companions.

…………

The dull roar when the detonating symbol exploded was particularly loud in the silent forest.

"Did you hear that!"

After the sound of the explosion came, Inuzuka Ya, who was hiding in the dark, moved his ears slightly, his spirit was shaken, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the explosion sound, and at the same time, he whispered to Shino Yume, who was lying in ambush not far away. talking.

After hearing Inuzuka Ya's prompt, Yume Shino snorted, signaled to him, and then focused on the direction of the explosion.

Ino, Choji, and Hinata Hinata also cheered up and waited for the opportunity. They only waited for the enemy to step into the encirclement and launched an offensive immediately. They did not give them a chance to breathe and killed them in a short time. .

Everyone paid attention for a moment, and a slightly chaotic footsteps, accompanied by heavy panting, gradually came from far to near.

Aburome Shino frowned slightly, her breathing was disorderly, and the sound of her footsteps was obvious, she had lost her sense of proportion, presumably it could be Shikamaru or the enemy.

Sure enough, when the sound of footsteps and panting gradually approached, a tender and slender white hand pushed aside the grass and jumped out of it, and everyone saw each other clearly because of this, but it turned out to be Xiang Lin, who was sweating profusely at this time and breathed a sigh of relief. Panting.

But a few seconds later, a black shadow followed Xianglin, and suddenly sprang out from its path. In mid-air, his legs were bent, his body was curled up, and his hands were hugging the bent legs. The whole person was almost Shrunk into a ball, after falling to the ground, after rolling again and again, spread out in an instant, leaped up with the help of the elasticity of the body when it was violently expanded, and stopped because it stepped into the expected ambush circle, with legs resting on the knees and gasping for breath Xianglin's soft waist fell forward and fell to the ground.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Almost at the same time that the black shadow was pressing Xianglin down, several kunai made a sound of breaking through the air, causing cold lights in the air, and nailed to the trunk of the big tree directly in front of the two of them one after another.

Xianglin struggled to raise her pretty face, just in time to see Kunai flying out and being nailed to the tree trunk, her heart shivered, and at the same time, she was full of gratitude to Shikamaru. Although the distance she ran just now was only a mere few hundred meters, For the ninja's leg strength, it seems nothing, but in the case of a strong enemy chasing after him, Xianglin burst out of physical strength almost unreservedly when he fled, running as hard as he could. When he came to the predetermined ambush circle, Suddenly he felt much safer, and under his relaxed spirit, he didn't notice the danger coming from behind. If Shikamaru hadn't thrown him to the ground in time, it would have been a disaster.

"Catch up so quickly!?" Ino and Choji were shocked. After getting along day and night, I am afraid that few people can know Shikamaru's strength better than the two of them. Zhong received a series of high-strength evaluations, but what the two of them didn't expect was that under the advantage of being in an ambush position, Shikamaru still had difficulty getting rid of the enemy's pursuit, so they felt a little unbelievable.

Although they were surprised at the speed of the enemy's pursuit, Ino and Choji reacted quickly.

"The art of heart turning!" Ino made a mudra with both hands, aiming at a falcon tied up with a string beside him.

With the use of the secret technique, Ino's mental energy flew out of his body and entered into the struggling Falcon's body, controlling the opponent's body. The restless Falcon also settled down under Ino's control.

Ding Ci stepped forward to support Ino's collapsed body, and after hiding him in a pre-prepared safe place, he stepped forward to untie the rope that bound the falcon.

"Be careful, Ino!" Choji said softly to the falcon that was being controlled by Ino and was moving its wings.

Falcon, who was controlled by Ino's heart-turning technique, stopped when he heard this, turned his head to look at Choji, then nodded seriously, and gave a low beep to signal Choji to pick up the package at his feet.

These two small packages, one containing a few smoke bombs and the other containing detonating symbols, are very light and will not affect the falcon's flight.

After receiving Ino's signal, Choji placed the package containing the smoke bombs on the Falcon's back, and the other package contained the detonating amulet. Because it was very light, the Falcon held it in its mouth.

After the equipment was completed, the falcon controlled by Ino moved two steps in place, then nodded to Ding Ci, spread its wings, fell from the tree trunk, and after swooping down, flapped its wings quickly, like an arrow from Li Xuan, and quickly flew into the air.

Choji raised his head and saw that the falcon was controlled by Ino to flap its wings and fly into the air. On the open space among them, Shikamaru kept a guarded posture, waiting for his instruction to attack.

After avoiding Kunai, Shikamaru slapped the ground, jumped up from the ground, turned his body sideways, facing the direction when he came, reducing the exposed area of ​​his body, squatting his legs slightly, lowering the center of gravity, and at the same time, he could At the same time, the lower limbs are in a state of exerting force at any time, and the right hand rests on the handle of the "Yingxiu" knife inserted in the back of the waist, while the left hand is placed in front of the body, making a forward posture, as if blocking the invisible enemy, but it is for coordination. Arms that can be pulled apart to increase speed!

This posture is combined with many days of training and completed under the guidance of Sarutobi Asma. It coordinates the center of gravity and tightens the muscles of the whole body in order to burst out the greatest strength in the shortest time. At the same time, with the help of the strength of the spine, the waist and limbs Swiveling the blade and drawing the knife, it is the fastest and most powerful attack when Yingxiu is out of the sheath. However, when this posture is opened, the muscles must be tense, which consumes a lot of energy. If Shikamaru has already confirmed that Kawakawa Qi Wan has already chased him, and he will not put on this posture to be on guard.
