Chapter 460 Raid

Facing Temari's question, the girl in the priestess costume did not give an answer to the question, but raised her arm and pointed her finger forward calmly.

The life-conscious water that was originally wrapped around her body flew out in an instant, forming a thin and long whip in the air, and fell from the air.

A dangerous breath approached, Temari quickly gave up the idea of using wind escape, and dodged to the side.

The ground and the sandstone in the distance, under the attack of the water whip, a straight and dark crack appeared, which was cut in half from the middle.

At the edge of the crack, there are traces of moisture.

Seeing this, Temari didn't even want to turn around and run away, not daring to stay where he was.

The jutsu controlled by this ninjutsu of the Oni Nation is too weird. With her wind escape ninjutsu, it may be difficult to get benefits in her hands.

It's just that although her thoughts are good, the witch girl has no intention of letting her go.

As soon as the footsteps were mentioned, the girl in the priestess costume disappeared directly from the spot, and her body turned into an afterimage, chasing behind at a speed that pierced the air.

During the chase, her eyes were kept closed, but Temari felt that the opponent's eyes seemed to be kept open, like a thorn in the back.

A scream came from behind, and Temari dodged sideways again.

The rock that he stepped on just now was sliced off in an instant, and the long whip of water that turned into a sharp blade, and the ability to cut iron like mud, made Temari feel his heart tremble.

This kind of long whip made of water, as long as the body is swept once, the end will be death or disability.

The chase lasted for about a minute, and Temari became aware of a terrible fact.

That is, no matter how much she increased her speed, she did not increase the distance between her and the maiden costume girl. On the contrary, as time went by, the other party gradually caught up with her.

If this continues, sooner or later he will be caught up.

Can only fight? Temari held the three-star fan tightly in his hand, and frowned tightly, thinking about whether to stay in the fight or continue with the tactical evacuation.

However, the witch girl didn't intend to give Temaru time to think about this kind of problem. The water flow suspended in the air immediately twisted, and the water flow in the shape of a long whip quickly disintegrated, turning into countless crystal clear water droplets, floating in the air.

Among the countless crystal clear water droplets, there is a cold and brutal murderous aura.

not good! Seeing the countless drops of water, Temari anticipated what form the shrine girl would attack her next.

Suddenly, the chakra in the body started to run, and then Temari concentrated all the chakra on the three-star fan in his hand, and swung it forward vigorously.

"Wind escape Scythe Itachi!"

The sound of the storm swept over in an instant, and a large number of air blades shining with white light left shocking traces of beast claws raging on the sand and sandstone in front of them, rushing towards the maiden costume girl.

At the same time, the water droplets suspended in the air are also pouring down like a torrential rain. Under the adjustment of the technique, the hardness of the water droplets is not weaker than that of steel. The moment it comes into contact with the air blade, there is a continuous sound that can only be made by the collision of metal weapons.

With the loud clashing sound, violent sparks even rubbed off in the air, continuously sputtering out in the field.

"Well-"

Temari felt a sudden pain in his right arm, and couldn't help but groan.

A drop of water hit her right arm at some point, and a small blood hole appeared on her arm. Through this small blood hole, one could see a drop of water sinking deep into her flesh, emitting a cold light.

Before Temari could make the next move, the water droplets in the blood hole suddenly vibrated restlessly.

Pfft!

Temari froze.

A large amount of blood sprayed out from the pores of her arm and flew past her eyes.

"ah!"

An uncontrollable painful sound leaked from his mouth.

pain! The incomparable pain caused the veins on Shouju's forehead to twitch violently, he clenched his teeth tightly, staggered back a few steps, and the Samsung fan fell out of his hand.

Seeing his blood-drenched right arm, which was falling limply and swaying in the wind as if crippled, Temari's eyes were immediately filled with a trace of fear.

The storm subsided, and the girl in the priestess costume was only a little messy in her clothes. Other than that, she didn't suffer any injuries.

She held up the bamboo tube in her hand, and the water droplets were summoned by the bamboo tube, quickly merged together, rushed into the bamboo tube at lightning speed, and disappeared.

The girl in the priestess costume put away the water flow, and Temari didn't think that the other party was showing kindness. She did this, probably to prepare for the ultimate move later, intending to end the battle in one go.

Temari uses his still movable left hand to pick up the three-star fan that fell on the ground, unfold it, and inject chakra into it.

Even so, Temari didn't have a sense of security in his heart.

But she knew that if she couldn't stop this move, there would be only one endthat would be death.

The girl in the priestess costume was expressionless, as if she was born lacking the emotions that human beings should have. She slowly lifted the bamboo tube and bent her arms backward. From this angle and position, she could use her greatest strength to throw the steel-hard water flow out of the bamboo tube, thus killing the enemy in front of her.

Temari's face was covered with cold sweat, and he stared at the bamboo tube in the hands of the witch girl without blinking, for fear that if he missed a glance, his head would fall to the ground in the next moment, and his death was unknown.

When the atmosphere was at its most tense, the girl waved her arms violently, and the bamboo tube moved accordingly. In the dark hole, a cold light shone, and a terrifying murderous intent rushed out of the bamboo tube, causing Temari's body to freeze in place immediately, unable to move.

About three seconds passed.

Temari was freed from the stiff state. Seeing that the witch girl was only halfway through the movement of swinging the bamboo tube, she kept this posture and stopped still, causing the sharp slash of the water to not come as planned.

"It didn't come out... What, what's going on?"

Temari opened his mouth dumbly, not understanding what happened just now.

The witch girl was keenly aware of something, she looked down, and for some reason, her own shadow became darker than usual, like thick ink, a bottomless darkness.

"Shadow...Mimicry..."

Intermittent words came from the mouth of the witch girl.

The timbre is transparent and empty, like a cold machine, operating the body functions according to the established procedures, rigid and rigid.

The witch girl tried her best to control her head and turned it backwards. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see a figure crouching in the distance behind her. It was this person who performed ninjutsu, controlled her body, and interrupted her technique.

Konoha guy? Although Temari felt upset, he was also relieved to be saved.

Before the chunin exam, their instructor, Jnin Maki, did say that they could try to consider cooperating with Konoha's ninja during the exam, and try to eliminate the ninja from the kingdom of ghosts as much as possible, so as to achieve the effect of reducing the reputation of the kingdom of ghosts.

And the side that believed in Konoha also made the same arrangement tacitly. Some individual elite groups must have received such hints more or less from the senior officials of their own villages.

The Chunin exam is the epitome of war between countries.

Simply put, this is an international 'war' exercise.

Then, as allies, Sand Yin and Konoha are naturally partners on the same front when it comes to the issue of the kingdom of ghosts.

The purpose of doing this is also to prevent the elite ninjas of the two villages from competing in advance and being eliminated from the exam.

It's just that Temari is proud of his own strength, and he doesn't feel that he will be so downcast that he needs Konoha Ninja to rescue him. So now being rescued by the Konoha ninja, while feeling unhappy, I also feel fortunate that I will survive the catastrophe.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the sky:

"Ninja Meatball Chariot!"

I saw a huge round meat ball, spinning in the air at an exaggerated speed, and then with a terrifying momentum, it fell from the sky and rushed towards the girl in the maiden costume.

The girl in the maiden costume raised her head, looked at the huge spinning meat ball, and quickly zoomed in on her field of vision, knowing that if she was hit by this kind of attack, even she would fall to the ground due to serious injuries.

The yang escape secret technique of the Qiudao family can cause terrifying destructive power when it directly hits the enemy.

The moment the meat ball was about to descend on the body, the girl in the maiden uniform opened her eyes without warning, and the dark light flashed away from the eyes.

The next moment, a strange black mist was released from the body, wrapping the petite body of the witch girl, forming an airtight black ball.

Boom!

The meat ball squeezed the black ball, and instantly smashed a huge hole in the sand.

"What, what?"

Choji, who turned into a meat ball, stared wide-eyed. He looked at the huge black ball under him in disbelief. There was no trace of trace on it, and it completely withstood the super destructive attack of his multiplication secret technique.

"Joji, be careful!"

Shikamaru, who performed the shadow imitation technique, suddenly changed his face.

Because his shadow imitation technique failed, he didn't have the sense of substance to restrain the enemy at all. Thinking of some possibility, Shikamaru also fidgeted.

However, it was too late when he said this.

The eggshell-like black ball made a crackling sound, and a dazzling dark red light shone from the cracked cracks. It was a cold and dark breath, which made Dingci swallow his saliva, and a frightened look appeared on his face.

Afterwards, a palm suddenly protruded from the black ball, carrying a berserk force and hit Ding Ci's body, like swabbing a fly, knocking Ding Ci away effortlessly.

Choji, who was thrown into the air, kept rolling on the ground until he hit a huge rock, and was forced to stop the rolling posture, spitting blood from his mouth.

Bursts of severe pain came from his chest, causing Choji to hum softly in pain. While panting hard for breath, his eyes were still staring straight ahead.

The red and white clothes swayed gently in the wind, and her long black hair was also flying in the wind. Shikamaru's expression fell silent slightly, and her footsteps began to retreat subconsciously.

Intuition told him that the current witch girl is more dangerous than before.

However, the shrine girl didn't pay attention to Shikamaru's vigilant movement, but turned her head and glanced at a certain position.

I saw a large amount of sand condense in the air, turning into sand **** the size of a finger, flying densely like a rainstorm without any warning.

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

The hard sandstone was destroyed by finger-sized sand balls, and a large number of sandstone fragments were blown up and scattered everywhere.

Countless craters appear on the sand, like a honeycomb.

On the sand that had turned into a honeycomb, the figure of the girl in the priestess costume had long since disappeared, leaving only a few traces of dark mist on the spot, which quickly disappeared in the wind.

"I... Gaara!?"

Temari realized something, and turned to the side in surprise, and sure enough, he saw Gaara with an indifferent face, standing there with his hands folded in front of his chest, staring coldly at the sand where the girl in the miko costume disappeared and was beaten into a honeycomb by his own ninjutsu.

And it seemed that because the enemy fled from his eyes, his expression became more grim.

Beside Gaara, Kankuro in black also came over. He couldn't help gloating when he saw Temari's completely disabled right hand.

"I just came out to find some supplies for the night. I didn't expect you to make it like this. If Gaara and I didn't come in time, you would have been miserable."

When Temari heard Kankuro's words, the good mood of being saved suddenly disappeared, but no matter how upset she was, she couldn't find an excuse to refute Kankuro.

Thinking of this, Temari's mood became even more depressed.

While Temari and Kankuro were communicating, Gaara's gaze was turned away again, and he glanced coldly at Shikamaru and Choji, and slowly raised his hand, as if planning to make a move.

Gaara's actions made Shikamaru and Choji feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, thinking that the other party was going to attack them.

"Wait, Gaara, they"

Temari saw Gaara's action, his face changed slightly, and he wanted to step forward to stop it.

Before Temari could finish speaking, a large amount of sand flowed upstream from the sandy ground, soaring into the sky, and finally ran into the huge gourd behind Gaara.

Gaara plugged the gourd with a stopper, and turned around without muddling.

"Let's go. Too much time wasted here."

"Well"

Temari stood there in embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a while, and only then did he realize that he had made a mistake.

Kankuro came over and patted Temari on the shoulder, then turned to look at Shikamaru, and said with a smile: "Guy Konoha, thank you so much this time. As a thank you gift, please accept this."

Saying that, Kankuro took out a scroll from his pocket and threw it to Shikamaru without hesitation.

Shikamaru caught the scroll in astonishment. It was a scroll of heaven, which was exactly the other half of the scroll they needed.

"Hmph, even if I don't need these guys to save me, I'm fine."

Temari said in an irritable mood.

"Sister, you are hurt like this, so don't be brave here."

Kankuro glanced at Temari and said helplessly.

Temari took a deep breath, and solemnly said to Shikamaru: "I will return this favor to you soon."

Shikamaru scratched his head and said, "Well, it's okay if you don't need to pay it back, after all, you also gave the thank you gift, didn't you?"

Saying that, Shikamaru raised the Sky Scroll in his hand.

"You mean, my life is not as important as a scroll?"

Temari's gaze suddenly became dangerous, and he stared at Shikamaru unkindly.

What a troublesome woman. Cold sweat dripped down Shikamaru's face.

This troublesome and calculating character is exactly the same as his mother at home.

Based on his experience of getting along with his mother for so many years, he intuitively told her that this question cannot be answered directly, and silence is the best solution.

Because whether this question is affirmative or negative, the woman in front of him may chatter in his ears endlessly.

Seeing Shikamaru acting like a coward, Temari's mood became even worse, but in the end he didn't say anything, just cut it, followed Gaara's footsteps and left.

"Don't worry, this guy just loses his temper like this once in a while. You know, women always have a few days in a month when they are irritable..."

Kankuro laughed.

But Shikamaru couldn't laugh at all, because did this guy reveal some very serious secret?

"Speaking of which, is it really okay to give us the scroll? You know, the scroll is the key to passing the exam."

Shikamaru asked.

Kankuro replied: "It doesn't matter, that is a redundant scroll. Then, goodbye, Konoha guy."

After finishing speaking, Kankuro also turned and left, not intending to waste time here.

Looking at the backs of Kankuro and others leaving, Shikamaru glanced at the Sky Scroll in his hand again, thinking that his luck was not too bad when he came out this time, at least he got the urgently needed Sky Scroll.

That is to say, now their team only needs to go to the central control tower of the Demon Desert and hand over the scroll to the person in charge there, then they can directly pass the second exam and get the tickets for the third exam.

"Speaking of which, Choji, are you okay? I saw you vomit blood just now."

Shikamaru remembered something and asked Choji.

Cho shook his head and said: "Don't worry about me, you also know that I have rough skin and thick flesh, just take a rest."

Shikamaru nodded without asking further questions. He knew that Ding Ci was not a person who liked to be brave, since the other party said it was fine, there was no need to worry too much.

"Then go back quickly. If you go back late, that fellow Ino will lose her temper again. I don't want to hear her rambling all day long."

Shikamaru said troublesomely.

"Don't worry, Ino is a perception ninja, even if something happens to the two of us, she can protect herself."

Choji said.

The Yamanaka Clan is not only good at the art of heart turning, but also a ninja clan rich in excellent perception ninjas.

As a ninja of the Yamanaka Clan, Ino's talent is not weak, and he has also learned the perception ninjutsu inherited from the Yamanaka Clan. Not only can he use his own ninjutsu to perceive the existence of others, but he can also use ninjutsu to eliminate his own Chakra breath and prevent others from sensing his own Chakra.

It can be said that as long as Ino does not take the initiative to expose her existence, even if there are sentient ninjas among the enemies, it will be difficult to detect her existence.

"I hope so. Anyway, now that the scroll is in hand, then, we can go directly to the center of the desert to exchange business. As for the operation of eliminating the ninjas of the ghost country, let the other Konoha teams do it."

Shikamaru is optimistic about this.

He didn't take this matter to heart at first, although before the exam, his father did give him a hint that he could properly target the ninja of the Oni Land, but Shikamaru felt that this kind of thing was very troublesome.

So he decided, if he could match up in the exam by chance, then he would do it by chance. If it really doesn't work, or if you're unlucky and don't meet the ninja team from the kingdom of ghosts, then there's no need to search for it deliberately, wasting time.

After all, Konoha's ninja team took part in the second exam. There were sixteen groups. This kind of troublesome thing can be done by other groups. They don't need to go through this kind of muddy water.

Choji did not object, Shikamaru is the captain, he just needs to follow Shikamaru's instructions and act.

"But having said that, let other teams pay attention. Tell them, if you encounter a ninja of the Oni no Kuni wearing a priestess costume, just run away and don't have any mentality to fight."

Recalling the girl in priestess costume who disappeared before, Shikamaru couldn't help but cast a shadow in his heart.

The battle just now, in Shikamaru's view, was really too dangerous. If it wasn't for the guy named Gaara who arrived in time, causing the other party to have a strong sense of fear, maybe they would have been wiped out by the entire army.

"The one in the shrine maiden costume is not a Genin no matter what you look at, her strength is at least the beginning of the Chunin. And the move she used in the end broke free from the shackles of my shadow imitation technique. I hope I don't encounter her in the future."

Shikamaru prayed silently, and after praying, he would not meet that witch from the kingdom of ghosts with strange abilities.

Because being targeted by such a difficult enemy, no matter how you think about it, it is an extremely terrifying thing.

The sky is dark, the desert is swept by strong winds, the wind and sand are all over the sky, and the visible field of vision is very narrow.

The high-temperature environment during the day was like an illusion, and it disappeared without a trace at this time. The icy air made the candidates who spent the night in the desert shiver, making them complain about the terrible desert environment with a huge temperature difference between day and night.

In a ruin, there are ruins everywhere, and the desolate doomsday scene makes people feel a sense of sadness brewing around.

The bonfire was burning, and the fire light illuminated the surrounding area, but due to the blocking of the broken wall, the fire light did not shine out, but was confined to a small environment.

In the corner of the broken wall is a water storage tank, which stores a large amount of drinking water.

Sasuke, Naruto and Sakura sat down around the campfire.

"The problem of water and food has almost been solved. As long as we save a little, it will be enough for the next two days. Starting tomorrow morning, we will actively hunt other groups and **** the scrolls from them."

Sasuke makes arrangements.

"I don't think there is any problem in attacking at night. I don't want to move at all in the horrible weather during the day."

Naruto is eating white scorpion meat, which is a specialty food in the desert.

After being processed by Sakura, a medical ninja, it has become very delicious.

Even without condiments, the scorpion's meaty aroma is enough to whet your appetite.

"No, the desert will be more dangerous at night than during the day. I don't know how many large creatures like this are difficult to deal with. Compared with daytime, the risk of operating at night is too high."

Sasuke pointed to the huge monster not far away.

It was a black scorpion corpse that was bigger than several adults.

The barb on the tail, even at night, shone with a cold and dark luster.

The scorpion meat that Naruto ate in his mouth was taken from the opponent.

In the absence of sufficient rations, the native organisms in these deserts are the best source of food.

But also be aware that the identities of prey and hunter may switch at any time.

Especially at night when desert creatures come out to feed. A little carelessness may attract a group of such huge creatures.

"Really? So..."

Naruto bit the scorpion meat, halfway through his mouth, he froze.

The moonlight above the head was covered by something, and the huge shadow instantly covered the figures of the three of them.

Something fell from above, just landing on Naruto's head, wet his hair and cheek.

"What's this?"

Naruto touched his face, and when he took it off, he saw that his hands were covered with a sticky and smelly liquid, much like saliva.

"Naruto, be careful!"

Sasuke was the first to sense the danger, his expression changed drastically, and he and Sakura quickly jumped back.

When Naruto heard this, it was already too late.

The huge shadow fell down like lightning.

There was a bang.

A large number of rocks collapsed, and the ground shattered, and the entire ruins produced subversive vibrations, rolling up a large amount of sand and stones, flying around.

"Ugh! What's going on!?"

Naruto screamed in panic, and rolled on the ground in a panic, until he hit a wall, and then stopped the trend of retreating.

Small stones fell from above and hit Naruto's head and body. Naruto didn't pay attention to these trivial matters, but raised his head and looked forward.

Among the rolled up dust and dust, a huge black shadow looms in it.

I saw the black shadow gently swinging its body in the sand and dust, the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing its original appearance.

It was a tens of meters long, black and brown boa constrictor, coiling there, slowly shrinking its body.

The huge boa constrictor opened its vertical pupils, which were bigger than a lantern. While sticking out its tongue, it kept making hissing sounds, which made people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.
