Chapter 431 The Dance of the Early Fern
The Land of Fire.
Five sand monsters were frantically fleeing in the forest, pursued relentlessly by three people.
The Sand Village mentioned earlier was sent by the Sand Village to the Land of Fire to gather information.
The people chasing behind them were Kimimaro, Haku, and Gaara.
Originally, there were two teams of six people, but one of them was already dead when they were discovered.
Now there are only five people left.
They are Tian Hui, Gong Dou, Zhong Jie, Yang Ma, and Zheng Zhi.
"Damn it, isn't that Gaara? He's become a lackey of Konoha!"
As he fled from Sunagakure, Tian Hui cursed angrily.
The face of the man beside him was full of solemnity:
"No matter what, let's escape first. Don't you remember how tragically Cheng Xiao died just now?"
Tian Hui thought about Cheng Xiao having sand poured into his mouth.
The sand turned into a sea urchin and pierced his head into a funnel, and he felt a chill in his heart.
"I don't know where Gaara learned to be so cruel."
"Shut up. What do you think this place is? Our whereabouts have been exposed. Let's think about how to get back alive first."
"Besides Gaara, those two brats shouldn't be underestimated either."
Zhengzhi was the only Jonin among them, so when he spoke, the others naturally dared not utter a sound.
"Yang Ma, investigate immediately!"
Yangma is a master of Wind Release and also possesses a unique sensory ninjutsu, which is why he joined the team.
"Wind Release: Wind Breath Technique!"
Yangma formed a hand seal, then took a deep breath, and his partner, Chusuke, grabbed his body and carried him on his back.
He exhaled a breath backward.
Yang Ma took a deep breath and blew it out for an even longer time.
It took a full thirty seconds to blow it all out in one breath.
After blowing the seal, Yang Ma held it in his hand and began to sense things.
The breeze he blew drifted behind him, passing through the obstacles.
It quickly passed over Kimimaro, Haku, and Gaara who were chasing after them.
The sand on Gaara's body immediately reacted.
A thought struck him, and he guessed that he might have been sensed.
Gaara sped up and arrived next to Kimimaro and Haku.
“Our whereabouts have been discovered. You two are faster on foot, so don’t wait for me, go after them directly.”
"I'll go around from the side, and once you make your move, I'll block their escape route."
Kimimaro made a hand gesture to indicate that he had received the message, and he and Haku instantly sped up their pace.
Gaara glanced at Kimimaro's speed and realized that Kimimaro was indeed much faster.
It seems I still need to work harder!
At eleven years old, Gaara was still in the early stages in many aspects, but he was much stronger than the Gaara who participated in the Chunin Exams in the original timeline.
"Crack! Crack!" The sound of trees falling came from ahead, indicating that a fight must have broken out.
Gaara turned around and began to take a detour to intercept the person.
At the front lines of the battle, Kimimaro, wielding two bone swords, charged towards Sunagakure.
Tian Hui and Yu Dou took out their weapons and fought against Kimimaro, but they did not expect Kimimaro's attack to be so swift.
The two of them were injured in just a few seconds, until Tadashi joined in.
It took three against one to barely hold off Kimimaro.
Yangma and Zhengyi went to chase after Bai.
Because the white senbon had already caused considerable harm to the group.
It will be very troublesome if no one keeps an eye on things.
Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!
Upon seeing the pursuers closing in, Bai exhaled a thick white mist that enveloped the entire battlefield.
This technique doesn't distinguish between friend and foe; everyone's field of vision will be reduced.
Only ninjas who have learned relevant ninjutsu or undergone special training can thrive in this environment.
Kimimaro and Haku have trained together for many years, so they are naturally very comfortable with each other.
His combat instincts are extremely sharp, enabling him to quickly pinpoint the enemy's location even in low visibility conditions.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Yang Ma and Zheng Yi cast their spells simultaneously, and a huge gust of wind blew out of their mouths.
The people of Sunagakure aren't stupid either; they'll use ninjutsu to counter, so the opportunity is fleeting.
Bai held a thousand sticks in one hand and shot them out, while his other hand was forming a hand seal.
The flying sage was instantly covered with a layer of solid ice.
The target was the three people in front of Kimimaro, and bone spikes exploded from Kimimaro's body.
Her figure rushed towards the three like a phantom, spinning and fluttering like willow catkins in the wind.
A series of attacks executed with gentle, effortless movements, coordinated with the bones.
Dance of the Willows!
The three Sand Village members only felt a blur before their eyes, and their bodies were already riddled with holes.
"Pfft, pfft..."
With several muffled thuds, while the three Sunagakure members were dodging Kimima's attacks, two of them had already had three senbon needles stuck in their heads.
Only Yuuto survived by sheer luck!
Sweating profusely, he grabbed Tian Hui's corpse and hurled it at Kimimaro.
Make a hand seal and take a deep breath.
Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!
Yukito puffed out his chest, and a blade-like wind attack shot towards Kimimaro.
This wind blade was over five meters long, completely compressing Kimimaro's dodge space.
Kimimaro remained calm, but his bones writhed and pierced through his skin, bursting open like a lotus flower in bloom.
The wind blades were so powerful that they sliced off a whole layer of Kimimaro's bones before dissipating.
At that moment, a stream of fine sand shot up from under Yuudou's feet and went straight into Yuudou's mouth.
Gong Dou felt a chill run down his spine as the sand exploded like sea urchins.
puff!
Gongdou's head was pierced with several holes, like a tattered sack, and red and white blood gushed out instantly.
On the other side, Yang Ma, who was restraining Bai, also looked gloomy when he saw that all three of his teammates had died.
After forming a hand seal, he rubbed his hands together continuously, as if crescent-shaped, palm-sized wind blades were constantly flying out from his hands!
Wind Release: Chaotic Wind Blades!
A layer of ice appeared in front of Bai, blocking the wind blade's attack.
Zhengzhi took out a scroll from his pouch, bit his finger, and flipped the scroll horizontally.
With a bang, a huge wind demon shuriken appeared in his hand.
As he formed hand seals, the Wind Demon Shuriken passed through his hands, his body twisted, and his feet pushed off.
Wind Release: Wind Demon Wind Slash!
A giant wind demon shuriken was thrown out, spinning rapidly and emitting a buzzing sound.
He then turned around and slashed at Gaara's sand.
It was clear that Bai's Ice Release technique was in grave danger.
Kimimaro shouted coldly, "Dance! Dance of the Early Fern!"
His figure vanished as if blown away by the wind.
A thick bone spear extended in front of Bai, directly blocking the giant wind demon shuriken for him.
Another bone spear emerged from the ground and pierced Yangma's calf.
The bone spears continued to extend, enveloping the true form within them, while Gaara also controlled the sand to launch an attack.
Zhengzhi kept waving the knife in his hand, but he could only hold out for two seconds before his thigh was pierced.
His face hardened, and he took out an explosive tag and stuck it on his head.
Kimimaro had just emerged from the bone spear when he saw this scene, so he retreated back in. Then he charged out from Yangma's side and killed Yangma with a single blow.
Boom!
After a muffled thud, Zhengzhi's head disappeared; he had been killed by his own explosive tag.
He came to gather intelligence; he cannot be captured, nor can his body be left behind.
Kimimaro, panting heavily, returned to human form, and Gaara walked over from a short distance away.
Suddenly, Kimimaro's face flushed red.
puff!
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his vision went black, and he collapsed.
The white horse arrived at his side, its face filled with anxiety: "Kimimaro! Kimimaro! Wake up!"
"Gaara, let's go back quickly!"
