Chapter 590 The Princess of Thorns (1)

It is almost nightfall.

The temperature in the forest continued to drop, and it had already broken below zero.

The thick snow accumulated on the road could not stop the progress of the ninjas. They ignored the harsh environment and kept running forward.

A total of 3,000 troops, located on the right flank, galloped in front of a squadron. The captain of the squadron was a high-level ninja from Konoha. He took the lead and ran to the front of the squadron so that he could command the squadron.

Beside him, followed a ninja from the Hyuga clan, the rank was Chunin, about twenty years old, with the same handsome face as most of the Hyuga clan.

On his handsome face, the meridians at the eyes began to protrude ferociously, which is a unique state of the Hyuga clan's Blood Successors keeping their white eyes open.

In order to be able to scout the surrounding environment for the team anytime and anywhere, his white eyes were basically kept open and not closed during the journey.

And the sense of security brought by the white eyes is also unparalleled.

As the captain of this squadron, Jonin, as long as there is a ninja from the Hyuga clan around him, then the sense of security in his heart will be infinitely improved, and he will not be afraid of sudden attacks from the enemy.

After all, ninjas exist, and it is commonplace to surprise the enemy in encounters. Many experienced ninjas can die in the mission as long as they make one mistake.

With the white eyes of the Hyuga clan, such things can be avoided.

"etc!"

At this moment, the Chunin of the Hyuga Clan quickly stopped his galloping legs on the snowy ground, and stared straight ahead with his open white eyes. In the gray-white world he saw with his white eyes, a hot spot like the sun quickly magnified in his field of vision.

Moreover, this light spot was breaking through the atmosphere at an extremely frightening speed, ignoring wind resistance, and flying towards their squadron.

"This chakra...is not good, spread it out!"

Before he could explain, the face of the Chunin of the Hyuga Clan changed drastically, and he directly poured a large amount of Chakra into his feet, left the place like a whirlwind, and jumped away towards the no man's land on the side.

Hearing Hinata Ninja's panicked screams, the rest of the Konoha Ninjas also realized that something dangerous was approaching here.

Without hesitation, more chakra was injected into the calves and soles of the feet than usual, which greatly improved the mobility of his body, and spread out to the sides to avoid this unknown attack.

However-

The huge flaming sword, ignoring the wind resistance of the road, came at the moment they took off and hit the ground.

Boom!

The slender giant sword burning with flames, like the sun falling, continuously emits tsunami-like waves of flames and golden brilliance, overwhelming the sky and rushing around.

Followed by a huge explosion, detonated the terrifying scorching air of the blizzard, even if Konoha Ninja dodged in time, he was rushed to his face, and the shock wave covering a wide area was ruthlessly thrown away, rolling on the melting snow amidst painful howls, in a panic.

Facing such a devastating blow, they had no strength to resist.

Hyuga Ninja, who retreated one step earlier than the other Konoha ninjas, looked at the hollowed out forest not far away, revealing a huge hole with a diameter of more than ten meters, but the shock wave caused it to blow away the ground and trees farther away.

"Damn it!"

Junin, the leader of the squadron, avoided the attack because of his strength, and the injuries caused were not serious.

But he saw that nearly a quarter of his squadron died suddenly on the spot under this blow, and many others were injured, rolling and crying on the ground in embarrassment.

On the other side, the temporary captain in charge of commanding the 3,000-strong force, the Jonin of the Sarutobi clan, heard a sudden explosion in the forest, and his body froze subconsciously while running.

Immediately afterwards, he jumped to the top of the tree two or three times, and saw the forest in the north starting to catch fire, billowing black smoke rising into the sky.

"Seventh Squadron, what happened to you? Why is there such a loud voice? Please answer immediately!"

The Sarutobi Jnin immediately used the radio communicator to contact the captain of the Seventh Squadron.

"Our squadron was attacked by the enemy, with nearly half of the casualties, please support!"

On the other side, the anxious shouts of the Jonin Captain of the Seventh Squadron were soon heard.

"What?"

The Sarutobi clan's Shinobi was taken aback.

However, before continuing to ask, a Konoha ninja screamed in panic:

"Captain, there is a strange and powerful Chakra approaching us quickly. Check Chakra's reaction. There are eleven people in total!"

The Konoha ninja made seals with both hands, and detected eleven strange chakra sources approaching the troops. It was obvious that the comers were not friendly, and they were definitely not the people who came to meet them.

"Attention all squadrons, the enemy has been found, there are dozens of people, and the enemy's level is unknown. Now adopt the 'B' combat plan and execute it immediately!"

Without hesitation, the Sarutobi Jonin used the radio device to announce the battle plan to all squadrons.

After issuing the order, he jumped down from the crown of the tree, looking forward with deep eyes, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

"Go, surround them!"

"yes!"

No one was afraid, and under the leadership of the sarutobi clan jounin, they quickly sped towards the forest ahead.

In the team, many Konoha ninjas with immature faces, obviously not yet baptized in the battlefield, are excited and eager to try, not knowing what to be afraid of.

The forest was suddenly filled with a chilling atmosphere, the storm was getting stronger and stronger, and the biting cold wind was mixed with large flakes of snow.

The gray clouds in the sky also seemed to be crushing the ground, making the surrounding air pressure heavier and heavier, making it impossible to breathe.

Boom!

Under the violent impact, the snowflakes scattered, and a dark figure broke into the encirclement of a Konoha squadron.

The black windbreaker and black armor, as well as the pitch-black mask with the shape of a bird's beak on the face, are extremely conspicuously exposed to the enemy's field of vision in a world full of silver and white.

"TudunTulon Spear!"

The sharp stone spear shot from the ground to the sky, stabbing the ninja from the kingdom of ghosts who came by surprise.

boom!

The sharp stone spear looked extremely fast, but it was crushed by the ninja from the ghost country.

After that, the sturdy figure fell to the ground like a huge boulder, causing the ground to shake.

The surrounding Konoha ninjas were not afraid, and quickly opened an encirclement circle to surround him, throwing kunai and shuriken at the same time to block his movement route.

Unexpectedly, this unusually strong Oni Ninja ninja roared like a beast from under his black beak mask, raised his hands, clenched into fists, and then fell fiercely on the ground under Konoha Ninja's surprised eyes.

Boom!

Click!

The earth cracked, and countless earth and rocks protruded upwards irregularly. Many Konoha ninjas couldn't dodge and fell directly into the cracks in the cracked rocks.

The encirclement that was originally tightly synthesized was full of loopholes in a blink of an eye.

"This guy!"

Jonin, the leader of the team, tensed up, shocked by this strange power.

Seeing that Konoha Ninja's encirclement formation was disrupted by himself, this Oni Ninja did not hesitate, like an out-of-control bull, sprinting forward without any dodge, exuding a terrifying aura all over his body.

"Wow! Don't come here!!"

Maybe it was the enemy's aura, which was too overwhelming. Konoha Ninja, who was facing the terrifying oppression, suddenly twitched his muscles, showing a look of panic.

He waved the ninja sword in his hand out of control, trying to block the enemy's sprint.

The ninja from the Oni Ninja swung a fist, and at the same time as the empty fist broke and swung the ninja, the fist landed on Konoha Ninja's face without hindrance.

The nasal bone was shattered and blood spattered. The Konoha ninja who was hit by the fist shot out like a cannonball.

Break a tree, the amazing strength carried by his body has not yet dissipated, and he continued to force him to roll on the icy snow, until a straight, more than ten meters long blood line stretched out on the snow, and he could barely stop.

The Ninja of the Oni Nation, who transformed into two pairs of wings with materialized Chakra on the back, is flying at low altitude.

During the journey, a terrifying blizzard was set off with the physical Chakra wings, causing more than a dozen Konoha ninjas who resisted her progress with flesh and blood in front, all of them were blown away by the fierce storm.

Not only that, she grabbed a Konoha ninja with one hand and two Konoha ninjas with amazing strength, and her flying speed did not drop at all.

On the contrary, under the intensification of the Chakra in her body, the Chakra wings on the back are even bigger, like a ferocious Chakra monster.

When flying to the end of the squadron, the trajectory of the sudden flight, the wings fluttered vigorously, and it rushed straight to the gradually dimming sky at a ninety-degree angle.

The two Konoha ninjas who were caught by her let out a panicky cry.

Soon, the ghost country ninja let go of his palm, and in a desperate cry, two Konoha ninjas began to fall freely towards the silvery white ground from a height of 500 meters.

The blue phantom descended, rushing into the body of a Konoha ninja with lightning speed.

Without hesitation, Konoha Ninja, whose body was occupied, picked up the ninja sword behind his back, and swung it down forcefully at the unsuspecting companion beside him, causing chaos.

A large spiral tree that rises into the sky, covered with thorny thorns.

A large number of blood-stained arms were exposed from the gaps in the thorns. Judging from the degree of distension of the arms, they all wanted to escape from this spiral tree before they died, and finally died under the shackles of the wood thorns.

At the bottom of the big spiral tree, a ninja from the ghost country stands majestically in a black windbreaker and a black mask with a long beak.

Beside his feet, there are two Konoha ninjas who were pierced through the chest by the wooden spear and fell down.

Under the cold wind, the black windbreaker fluttered, exuding the breath of death.

A shadow of death enveloped the surrounding Konoha ninjas.

"W-Are you kidding, this guy is actually using the wooden escape of the first generation of adults, is this a dream..."

Junin, the leader of the squadron, squeezed out a smile or something from the twisted muscles of his face. It felt extremely forced and unbelievable, and a trace of cold sweat slipped from his forehead.

Release a laser beam from the palm of your hand, blasting a Konoha ninja who rushed towards him, and the ninja of the ghost country who used ninjutsu further intensified the chakra in his body.

I saw that thunder snakes began to surround his body like living creatures. Among them, two thunder snakes gathered in his palm, doing circular motion tirelessly, which was extremely gorgeous.

But in this gorgeous beauty, there is a deadly danger.

"Everyone be careful, this guy is a Lantun ninja!"

The well-informed Konoha Jominin saw through the evasion technique used by this ghost country ninja at a glance.

Although it looks similar to Thunder Dun in appearance, it is not Thunder Dun in essence, but the blood-successive boundary created after the fusion of Thunder Dun and Water Dun - Lan Dun.

Its power is stronger than the single Thunder Dun and Water Dun.

After the blades collided with each other, the opposing sides quickly retreated and slid out of a conspicuous track on the snow.

Joinnin of the Sarutobi clan holds a precious ninja sword made of chakra metal in his hand, staring at the ninja who is fighting him in front of him.

Sword skills, the speed is not weaker than himself.

And the eyes seeping out from under the bird's beak mask are shining red, and there is a pattern of three hook jade.

Sharingan!

Involuntarily, Sarutobi Jnin's face turned serious.

In the radio communicator next to his ear, the information of each squadron began to report to him.

"Land Dun, Wood Dun, Spiritual Art, Yuanxing Ninja Village's Peacock Art, Sharingan, using the Yang Dun Secret Art to increase the physical body to the limit...you guys, use either forbidden and secret arts, or the power of blood succession limit, each of which is rare. It seems that your army is very famous. No wonder so few people dare to come and attack."

Junin of the Sarutobi clan was smiling, but his eyes were full of murderous intentions.

The Uchiha clan ninja standing opposite had no fluctuations in their eyes, but slowly raised the standard saber in their hands. In the red writing wheel eyes, the three-god jade rotated slightly, and then the figure flickered forward, rushing towards the Sarutobi clan jonin again, and continued to fight.

The hinterland of the forest was emptied, with only a huge bare stone in the center.

Yi Ji stood here, and she was deaf to the constant commotion that came from a distance, and she never wavered.

Beside her, a ninja from the kingdom of ghosts was performing some kind of ninjutsu while sitting cross-legged in a knot posture.

Is this the guy who used the spirit technique? In the icy snow, the soil turned into fine grains of sand. A Konoha ninja used his earth escape to sneak freely in the soil. He abandoned his murderous aura and approached the ninja from the Oni Nation who was sitting cross-legged on the rock at an extremely fast speed. He was determined in his heart.

Spiritualization technique is a taboo technique that can flexibly use one's own soul power to travel long-distance at will to control and kill the enemy.

Even in the history of Konoha, there are very few ninjas who have practiced this forbidden technique.

The most famous one is one of the Sannin, and now the late boyfriend of Konoha Fifth Hokage TsunadeKato Dan.

Using this forbidden technique once caused a lot of headaches for ninjas from all over the world on the battlefield of the Ninja World War.

Fortunately, some well-informed jounin, as the forbidden soul art lost from Konoha, understand the horror of this forbidden art, but also understand the flaws of this forbidden art.

That is, during the operation, the body cannot be moved.

Once the enemy finds the body, it will become a fatal weakness.

As long as this guy is killed, then the art of spiritualization will be self-defeating... The Konoha ninja who came stealthily by using the earth escape, tightly clenched the kunai in his hand.

Ten meters...five meters...three meters...a little closer, Konoha Ninja, who is good at earth escape, is not a little anxious, and his breath is almost invisible.

Although he is not a Junin, he thinks that at the level of Chunin, his strength is second to none, especially the stealth and assassination abilities. Even if the Junin is not paying attention, he can successfully take off the opponent's head.

one meter!

Approaching again, the figure of the enemy is close at hand.

Moreover, this is already the distance he can complete the lore!

It's now!

Konoha Ninja's eyes burst into a fierce light, and he was about to rush out of the rock, and quickly evacuated after completing the fatal blow.

Pfft!

Something broke through the shell.

Eh?

Konoha Ninja, who was hiding in the rock, felt a pain in his head, and his consciousness soon fell into the boundless darkness, coldness and death hit him.

"Konoha... so there are such guys, I almost didn't notice it, and I really can't underestimate it."

Kazuhime casually thrust the Kusanagi sword into the rock, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Afterwards, she stretched herself, and said to the communicator:

"Okay, you guys are almost done, come back all of them."

After she finished speaking, less than half a minute later, a blue phantom flew from the sky, ignoring the resistance of the wind and snow, and enveloped the body on the rock. Afterwards, the body regained consciousness and slowly stood up from the rock.

After the first person came back, the second person returned quickly with the help of the wings formed by Chakra.

The third person, the fourth person, until the last person evacuated from the battlefield, and eleven figures fell on and around the rock.

The trench coats on some of them disappeared, revealing the dark chakra armor. Obviously, they had gone through a 'hard battle', causing their trench coats to be lost during the fierce battle and became trophies in the hands of others.

As the members of the group gathered one by one, the Konoha ninjas who were chasing them followed closely behind, biting tightly.

All the Konoha Ninjas from the thirty squadrons arrived, surrounded by darkness, giving people a great sense of shock.

Although many squadrons were partially damaged after being raided, they were able to maintain such a neat formation under such a swift and violent assault. I think the Junin who came to the command layer still have good abilities.

Looking at the darkness, the eyes full of hostility and murderous intent gathered together, without feeling any pressure or fear, standing on the rock, Kazuhime just pressed her chest lightly with her left hand.

For some unknown reason, the blood flow in her body suddenly became faster. An unprecedented sense of joy made Kazuki's chest so excited that it wanted to burst.

That's right, this is what I want!

Such joy, such happiness!

Its name is 'Supreme Joy'!

It's really hateful, my mother is so despicable, to experience such a joyful thing before I do! Yiji tried her best to suppress the throbbing in her heart, so that others could not see the flaws.

"Guys of the ghost country, give up, you... are surrounded now, there is no way to escape!"

Joinnin of the Sarutobi clan came out of the queue, looking straight at Kazuhime with sharp eyes.

In such a dense encirclement, he didn't feel that this group of ghost country ninjas had the ability to break out.

Even if the threat of this army is close to the level of the Five Kages, we still have to hold grudges here!

"No, let me correct a mistake."

The corners of Yiji's mouth began to rise involuntarily, her long hair flicked, and she grasped the hilt of the Kusanagi sword in her hand, and with a light pull, blood splashed out from the crack in the rock where the blade was inserted.

Holding the blood-stained Kusanagi sword, Kazuhime slowly raised the blade to the sky, and chakra began to emerge from her body, gushing toward the sky.

In the sky, the situation changed suddenly.

The disturbing atmosphere began to stir people's hearts, and the Konoha ninjas who surrounded Kazuhime and the others discovered this abnormality.

But this kind of abnormality, this kind of abnormal and indescribable sense of depression, made them unable to describe it in detail. They only knew that it was a kind of fear that could not be described in words, and it quickly took root in their hearts.

"The reason why all of you are gathered here is because I think it would be too time-consuming for thirty squadrons to be scattered and defeated one by one. It would be easier to gather you all and clean them up in one go."

Under Konoha Ninja's shocked and horrified eyes, the giant warrior burning lava transformed into a real body in the gushing chakra torrent.

The flames soaring into the sky are like beams of light that cut the sky and the earth in half.

The lava warrior stretched out his arms covering the billowing fire waves, and held the beam of light tightly, and the entity of the beam of light appeared.

It is a slender giant sword made of flames that matches the lava warrior very well.

Junin of the Sarutobi clan constricted his pupils, his lips squirmed, his words stuck in his throat, and any words seemed pale and powerless in the face of such power.

In desperation, the huge sword that gathers flames mercilessly slashes down.

"Now, come dance with me!"

Thus, the sword that violently hit the far sky pressed down, easily swept away the blizzard, and howled on the ground.

The dark night fell, like a bottomless darkness, covering the hollowed out forest.

The second round of deathmatch begins!

"The next strategy, I think it should be like this..."

In the Konoha camp formed by a fortress, in the temporary meeting place, under the convening of Jiraiya and Nara Shikahisa, more than a dozen jounin who participated in the meeting gathered here.

It was Lu Jiu who spoke, and he was working out the next strategic plan in Konoha.

However, before his words were finished, a figure knocked open the door of the meeting room, which surprised all Konoha Jami Shinobi who saw him.

I saw the Konoha ninja who broke in, covered in blood all over his body, and his hair and face were covered with a mixture of plaster and blood. He looked terrifying, like a ghost who had just crawled out of hell.

"Support... support... hurry up... support..."

The Konoha ninja who broke in was out of breath, ignored the pain on his body, and spat out these words intermittently from his mouth in pain and difficulty.

"Support? Wait, you are a supporter, right? What happened over there?"

Lu Jiu quickly came over to support the Konoha ninja, his expression changed drastically, and he asked hastily.

"We were attacked by the kingdom of ghosts on the road. Captain Sarutobi is leading people to fight to the death... But it won't last long, that girl is a monster... a monster..."

The hoarse voice rolled out tremblingly from the throat, and everyone in the meeting room, including Jiraiya, was shocked by the drastic change of expression.

Was attacked by the ghost country?

How can it be?

They are paying close attention to the movement of the ghost country, and there are patrol teams all over the surroundings. If the opponent uses a large force, it is impossible to hide from their sight.

Besides, according to their estimation, no matter how fast the Kingdom of Ghosts moves, it will have to wait until tomorrow to make a good deployment. The time is not right at all!

What exactly is going on?
