Chapter 679 Interception

"According to the information that Jiraiysama passed on before, we should be less than a hundred kilometers away from our destination."

Tianzang, who is the captain of the action force in this special mission, said this sentence with a solemn face according to the information that Jiraiya also sent back through Toad not long ago.

The distance is less than 100 kilometers. Judging from the fact that most of their troops are Junin, if everything goes well on the road, they can arrive in less than an hour.

It was several hours earlier than expected to arrive at the destination before this evening.

"Then, let's speed up from now on, even if Sannin personally monitors, accidents may happen."

Da Rui, who is in charge of the Hidden Cloud Team, said so.

Although this mission was led by Konoha, he did not fully trust Konoha Ninja's ability. He wanted to end this mission quickly and pry out information about Erwei from Orochimaru.

In order to recover Erwei, they Yun Yin has already wasted a lot of manpower and material resources, this time they can't let Orochimaru go no matter what.

"Okay." Tianzang didn't object, and turned around to tell the people behind him: "Everyone, let's speed up together."

Everyone responded one after another, and began to exert force on their feet, increase their speed, and gallop between the forests.

This accelerated gallop lasted for about half an hour, and the mountains at the end of the forest ahead were already within reach.

According to the information obtained, the stronghold of Orochimaru is located between the mountains to the west of Tanokuni, adjacent to the country of warriors such as the Iron Country.

Suddenly, Konoha, Yunyin and Sayin's troops jumped out one person each, and caught up with Tianzang, Darui, and Hakura. The three looked at each other to confirm each other's thoughts, and Konoha Anbe said: "Be careful, there are eleven strong Chakra reactions ahead, they are quickly approaching us, and they are running towards us."

Tianzang, Darui, and Ye Cang all stared at each other, Ye Cang asked directly, "Can you be sure which side you are from?"

The three Anbu shook their heads one after another.

They can only perceive the powerful Chakra reactions around them, and cannot accurately judge the identity of the visitor.

But with such a powerful chakra, it is conceivable that the eleven people who suddenly appeared are not unknown people in the ninja world.

"It's a ninja from the kingdom of ghosts."

In the team, a voice suddenly sounded.

Ningci, who was in Kai's team, opened his eyes and easily captured the information that the perception ninja could not detect.

However, only one figure appeared in his white-eyed observation, and after a while, ten other people appeared in his white-eyed vision.

"The country of ghosts?"

Hearing this answer, the three Tianzang who were in charge of leading the team were taken aback for a moment, and their faces darkened at any time.

Meeting ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts at this time, they don't believe it's just a simple coincidence.

Moreover, according to the joint statement of the three parties Anbu, these ghost country ninjas are obviously aimed at them, so it is even more impossible to be a so-called coincidence.

It was the opponent's target, and it was them from the beginning.

"How is this going?"

Darui glanced at Tianzang with an unhappy expression, his suspicious eyes seemed to say, "Did Konoha leak the information?"

After all, it is not the first time that Konoha has leaked important information to Oni Nation.

If their action plan is exposed, it is obviously not because there is a problem with Yun Yin and Sha Yin. They are confident that the spies placed by the ghost country will not be able to become high-level officials in their village.

Tianzang's face turned ugly, and he also thought of this, but as a Konoha ninja, it is naturally impossible for him to question the village's senior management.

What's more, the participants this time are either from the ninja family or Naruto's cronies, and even the high-level executives who held the action meeting, there are only four people. It stands to reason that such a thing as leaking information is simply impossible.

"Could it be that the last time we cooperated with the Kingdom of Ghosts in the operation..."

Seeing Tianzang's ugly face, Ye Cang couldn't help but think of something.

Regarding the last battle to retake Gaara, she did not participate. At that time, she was sitting in Shayin Village. For some things, she didn't know anything until Luosha returned.

Tianzang shook his head and said: "Impossible, the information revealed by the scorpion was only known to us Konoha and Sayin at the beginning, and we did not disclose it to the people of the ghost country at that time."

"Did you learn about it from another source?"

Ye Cang also frowned in embarrassment.

From the current point of view, Konoha is the most suspicious point, but I can't be sure of this point. Maybe there is a problem with their Sha Yin and Yun Yin. Although unlikely, it's not impossible.

You must know that the intelligence system of the Ghost Country has always been very developed. Unlike being limited to its own country, the intelligence system of the Ghost Country has already been laid in many countries in the Ninja World, creating a huge and sophisticated intelligence network in the Ninja World.

Maybe it is a deduced result based on scattered information fragments, even if such a guess is a bit nonsense in itself.

"I don't know what it is, and it's pointless to argue about things like blaming each other. Let's all prepare for battle."

Dalui sighed, and said 'boring', but unambiguously held the thick two-handed short knife on the back of the knife with one hand, took a deep breath, gathered chakra all over his body, and there was a faint thunder beating in his eyes.

Ye Cang and Tianzang glanced at each other and nodded in a subtle way.

Indeed, now is not the time to shirk and argue, the most important thing is to remove the obstacles in front of you.

So, Tianzang put his hands behind his back, and silently gestured to the people behind him.

After everyone saw it, there was no hesitation. The originally dense team suddenly dispersed, leaving enough space between the two.

The action space of the entire team suddenly expanded several times.

"Stop!"

At this time, there is no need to remind Ninjas and Neji who has white eyes. The three Tianzang who are in charge of leading the team also feel a strong heavy pressure, which penetrates the air, pressing against them like a mountain, causing their shoulders to sink suddenly, and they can't help but stop.

The people scattered around also stopped, or stood on the ground, hidden behind the tree, or stood apart on the branches, looking ahead.

A pitch-black figure appeared in their field of vision, quietly landed on the thick branch of a tree not far away, and stopped like them.

"Good afternoon, everyone from Konoha, Yunyin, and Sayin."

Following her footsteps, the girl's long black hair fell down, and she greeted her with a smile.

"You belong to Teacher Liuli..."

Kai Dingding looked at the girl with a rather shocked expression.

"It's really a difficult guy."

Cold sweat was streaming down Tianzang's face, and he forced a smile on his face, no matter how you looked at it, it was very reluctant.

The information about the girl was clearly recorded in Konoha.

Especially on the Konoha battlefield two years ago, the opponent almost single-handedly defeated Konoha's support troops easily. If Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, hadn't arrived in time, the result at that time was unimaginable.

According to the deduction of the Konoha intelligence team, in order to annihilate the opponent, at least one five shadows and more than 3,000 elite ninjas must be dispatched.

And it must be done quickly, otherwise thousands of ninjas can be exhausted to death with the opponent's Chakra, which is comparable to a tailed beast.

But with the opponent's offensive and defensive Susanoo technique, it is actually difficult to achieve a quick victory.

And fighting a war of attrition with a ninja with tailed beast level chakra is the most stupid way!

The attack limit of the opponent may not be as good as that of his mother, Uchiha Ruri, but the amount of chakra is extremely large, which is enough to make up for her lack of attack. But even if it is the so-called lack of attack, it is relatively speaking. For ninjas with flesh and blood, it is also a natural disaster for movement.

In addition to cracking her defense from the front, any tricks may be meaningless.

"Although I know it's nonsense, I still want to ask a question, why are the ninjas from the ghost country coming to us?"

Tianzang asked nervously.

To be honest, he didn't want to fight this kind of battle that he didn't fully grasp, let alone face this kind of monster called a 'humanoid tailed beast'.

This is not the pain that a ninja of his level can bear.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. I didn't come here to fight. I just want to invite you to talk about it here. I happen to have booked a few tables in a small town hotel not far away. I wonder if you would like to come and visit me?"

Yiji patted the non-existent wrinkles on the clothes, and sincerely extended the invitation.

"Hey, now is not the time to discuss dinner, please get out of the way!"

If it wasn't because of the order, Naruto felt that the anxiety in his heart was unstoppable.

Sasuke was waiting for him in front of him, and now someone suddenly came to disrupt the situation on the way, it was simply him teasing his few patience.

"Don't say that, I just want you to make friends and make peace in everything"

Before Yiji finished speaking, lightning flashed in front of her eyes, and a figure rushed to her in the blink of an eye, holding the handle of the knife with both hands, and waving the thick blade with the power of lightning.

Ding!

The sound of metal colliding with metal.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and saw Kazuhime blocking the heavy blade with the Kusanagi sword at her waist.

Ignoring the thunder and lightning transmitted to the body by the thick blade, although Ichihime still had a smile on her face, it already revealed a coldness.

"It seems that there is nothing to talk about."

"Isn't this a matter of course, little lady?"

Darui withdrew the blade, stepped back, and returned to the side of Tianzang and Ye Cang, his shoulders sank, and he pressed the two-handed dagger in his hand.

"Be careful, this guy is very strong, and he can ignore my Thunder Tunnel."

Darui reminded him softly, feeling his arm was slightly numb, which was obviously caused by the opponent's strength.

There is an illusion of facing the fourth generation of Raikage, the boss of his own family.

"You don't need to tell me this kind of thing."

Ye Cang pursed his lips slightly, and the Chakra in his whole body began to mobilize. Under the action of this Chakra, his whole body immediately condensed four white light **** wrapped in orange flames.

The moment the four fireballs were born, the air in the forest was immediately covered by a wave of high temperature, and even the moisture in the air was drained, making people feel uncomfortable in the throat.

Subconsciously, Tianzang and Darui, who had kept a certain distance from Ye Cang, moved a few steps to the side again to distance themselves from Ye Cang.

Even if the other party is consciously manipulating ninjutsu, as long as they are negligent, they will probably be drained of water in an instant, turning into a mummified corpse and dying.

"Go!"

Ye Cang waved his arm, and two of the four fireballs were launched, hitting the position where Yi Ji was.

The other two fireballs remained to protect around the body.

"Wood escape the art of the great forest!"

Before he got close to Yi Ji, countless vines sprang out from behind Yi Ji. A masked man in a black coat and black chakra armor stretched out his arms. These vine branches turned into long snakes to wrap around the two fireballs that hit Yi Ji.

However, before it lasted long, the vine strips that wrapped the fireball burned directly.

Boom!

As the explosion sounded, a large number of scorched wood chips burning with flames fell down, and the fireball broke through the blockade of the vines and continued to move forward.

However, because she was hindered by the vines, Ichihime had enough time to deal with it. She moved her footsteps in a leisurely manner, avoiding this kind of fireball that could instantly evaporate the water in the human body. She kicked on the branch and her body fell down.

Boom!

As if breaking through the sound barrier, the air vibrated violently, making a piercing scream.

"Get out of the way!"

Yiji's speed was too fast. The moment Tianzang finished shouting this sentence, she had already rushed to the center of the team, turning her body into a meteorite that fell from the sky and sank to the ground.

Boom!

The earth made a loud noise amidst the roar, and an incomparably powerful force was centering on itself, shaking the entire earth.

The ninjas who fell on the tree trunks were all unstable and screamed in panic. They jumped from the thick tree trunks and hid in areas with stable terrain.

At this moment, a black shadow flitted across the sky, and Chakra wings far exceeding the size of a human body gathered behind it, like a peacock spreading its tail. With a light flap, the gust of wind surged, leaving countless beast scratches on the ground, and several ninjas were blown away, tumbling in embarrassment.

When Yi Ji was disrupting the enemy's center, the rest of the Thorn team immediately took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack and disrupt the enemy's formation.

Saii, who was not far from a member of the Thorn Team, immediately took out the scroll, took out the paintbrush, and quickly painted on it. An ink tiger with a roaring sound rushed towards the enemy's back.

This member of the Zhixiao team also noticed something. He gave up on the members of the eighth class in front of him, turned around and pulled out a long saber from his waist.

He drew his sword and slashed in a standard way, and easily swung the flashing light of the sword, killing all the ink tigers that were attacking in an instant.

Then his chakra surged, and the saber was immediately entangled with thunder lightno, it was different from the current generated by ordinary thunder escape, like flowing soft water, but it also possessed the stabbing force of thunder and lightning.

Undoubtedly, this is the blood follower boundary that can release lightning in the form of water or laserLandun.

Judging from the fact that he can apply Lan Dun to the realm of swordsmanship, it is obvious that he has a very deep attainment in Lan Dun.

Sai narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the ninjas of the Thorn Group rushing out, subconsciously retreated.

But the ninjas of the thorn group who used Landun did not intend to let go. Lightning flashed from the back of the Chakra armor, and the airflow that propelled him forward gushed out, and the black coat fluttered and fluttered instantly.

Chick!

Sai's pupils shrank, and the Lan Dun ninja who was in front of him suddenly disappeared, and appeared beside him, slashing a knife ruthlessly.

Hair falls.

The eyes of Lan Dunninja under the black beak mask startled slightly, he didn't expect Sai to be able to dodge this lore blow.

Immediately, he noticed something. On Sai's calves, at unknown times, each of them had a chakra needle that glowed with orange light, stimulating the motor nerves in his legs.

"Did the nerves in the legs be strengthened with Thunder Tunnel? Little trick."

Landun Ninja's eyes turned slightly, and he looked towards a tree, behind which there was a person hiding.

Hinoko felt her heartbeat speeding up suddenly, and her palms were sweating coldly. Except for Yiji, everyone in this group was wearing chakra armor, which directly blocked her chakra needle attack.

No, their eyes are not protected, maybe they can...Hinoko carefully observed the actions of these people, and two chakra needles quietly appeared in his hand, waiting for the best time to attack.

"Water Escape Water Shock Wave!"

On the other side, Darui gave up his two-handed dagger attack and started a ninjutsu attack on Kazuki.

A ferocious torrent spewed out from its mouth, rushing towards Kazuki.

Then he changed his seal style, maintained the water escape, and continued to use the second ninjutsu.

"Thunder Escape Appreciation Wave!"

The torrent was immediately covered by dazzling lightning, turning into a more powerful lightning torrent.

Yiji swung the Kusanagi sword and split the lightning torrent from the middle. Although her body caught it firmly and did not take a step back, she immediately felt a tingling sensation in her arm, which made her frown.

Following that, two white **** of light burning with orange flames floated over, quickly approaching Yiji's body.

Yiji glanced slightly, and retreated, causing the fireball and lightning torrent to collide, white steam spread out for a while, and due to the addition of thunder escape, currents kept flowing in the high-temperature water vapor.

"Not a bad job, it actually made me feel a little bit tricky."

Ichihime held the Kusanagi sword in one hand, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"If you are more serious, maybe I will believe it."

Darui lamented feebly, but his eyes flickered solemnly, and he didn't dare to relax.

So far, Yiji has only used some body skills and sword skills. Even so, it is difficult for him and Ye Cang to deal with it.

Although both he and Ye Cang still retain a lot of strength, the hidden strength of the other party is only a lot more than theirs.

When Tianzang saw Yiji being restrained by Darui and Ye Cang, his eyes flickered non-stop, and finally, he made up his mind.

"Don't fight here, they are deliberately delaying time, leaving some people to restrain, and the rest follow me!"

Aware of the intentions of the Oni Nation, Tianzang immediately knew that the other party's purpose was to contain them and prevent them from going to the stronghold where Orochimaru was.

Therefore, these people must be bypassed.

Naruto, who wanted to join the battle group, immediately stopped when he heard Tenzo's words, and came to Tenzo's side.

There is also a small group of Konoha Anbe, and the eighth squad's three-person team of hunting enemies.

Noticing this, Kazuhime quickly made a decision, abandoned Darui and Ye Cang, leaped with both feet, and spanned a distance of tens of meters in the blink of an eye, flying out like a black arrow.

"Don't think about the past!"

As if waiting for this moment, Yiji was slightly startled. After turning her head, she saw only a green figure not weaker than her own speed, flying out and kicking.

The ground behind him was torn apart by the violent impact he brought on, and the trees also rattled and trembled.

Ichihime turned her body sideways without even thinking about it, and at the same time turned her palms over, and swung the Kusanagi sword upwards without hesitation.

The wave hit the air, and a half-moon sword glow was spun out.

The other party also turned sideways in the air, allowing the Kusanagi sword to cut past him with a slight gap, and then rolled out of the body, in a embarrassed posture.

But his goal was achieved, and he successfully stopped Kazuki's footsteps, making her unable to stop Tianzang and others' progress.

On the other side, Darui and Ye Cang also quietly gestured to their own people, and a small group of Yun Yin and Sand Yin Anbu withdrew from the battlefield one after another, following Tianzang's footsteps, obviously not intending to stay here.

Yiji frowned at this, and she also knew that with her and the Thorn team's abilities, it was impossible to stop everyone here. After all, this was a blocking war, not an annihilation war, but the past number of people was more than she estimated.

Soon, Ichiki turned his head and swept towards Maitekai who was burning with green steam.

is also the person who stopped her just now.

"Eight door Dunjia starts from the third door, and it will start to burn green steam, but your level should not only be at the level of the third door."

Although Ichihime spoke in a questioning tone, she was very sure that the eight doors that Kai opened at this time were not just the third door.

Kai couldn't breathe. Now as long as it is not the seventh or eighth door, the burden of the eight-door Dunjia on him is not as great as imagined.

Regarding Kazuki's question, he nodded without hesitation.

"The me now has opened the fifth door."

"Dumen? I thought it would be the sixth door, Jingmen. No wonder my mother told me to be careful of Konoha's eight-door dunjia ninja. You are really a troublesome alien."

The chakras gushing out of the body continuously, although not as large as hers, are also extremely thick, and just standing there can pose an unparalleled deterrent to ordinary ninjas.

Ichiji happily licked her pink tongue, her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"If the opponent is you, this kind of frustrating swordsmanship is meaningless at all, so I'll take it a little seriously. But before that, clear the other two obstacles."

Ichihime glanced at Darui and Ye Cang who were about to move forward, and put the Kusanagi sword into its sheath.

Immediately afterwards, she opened the ninja tool bag without hesitation, took out a red scroll from inside, put it in her mouth and bit it, and began to seal with both hands.

Two bangs.

Under the astonished gazes of Kai, Darui, and Ye Cang, two thick smoke sprayed up in front of Yiji, and two figures stood separately in the thick smoke.

"This is"

The astonishment of the three people turned into shock, as if they saw something extremely incredible, their eyes widened.

I saw two figures in the dense fog stretch out their palms and sweep away the white smoke that covered their bodies. Their tall and tall bodies were wrapped in lavlike flame armor, and their whole bodies were transparent, like an empty shell warrior formed by the materialization of Chakra.

In the heart of the empty shell warrior burning lava, quietly floats a light blue gem, which is extremely gorgeous.

Two lava warriors nearly two meters high, holding flaming long swords made of physical chakras, and two white eyes, like two small suns, releasing intense light that makes people dare not look directly at them.

They are like two door gods standing on both sides of Yi Ji, gently swinging the flaming long sword in their hands, making the surrounding space start to burn, distorting the surrounding scenery with intense heat and high temperature.

Yi Ji's mouth loosened, and the scroll rolled to the ground, igniting the flames and burning to ashes.

She took a step forward, let go of her knotted hands, and said in a joking tone:

"This is my favorite toy, this time I will let you test the performance of these toys. Speaking of which, this is the first time that this thing has been put into real combat."
