The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 260: Chasing and Escape

"Wait, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"Why would a guy like that suddenly appear?"

Inuzuka Jaw's disbelieving voice came through the communicator.

Without waiting for Hideki to answer, Hizashi, who was more informed, said in a deep voice:

"The Five-Tails Jinchuriki... Han?"

"I heard that he is similar to most Jinchūriki. He has never been well received in the Iwagakure Village, so he has an unruly personality."

"Perhaps that's why he didn't show up when we were harassing him just now, and only had to take action when the situation became critical."

Hideki had similar thoughts.

The chakra of the tailed beasts is usually sealed. As long as the Jinchūriki does not refine too much chakra, their specialness cannot be detected by sensing from a distance.

It was obvious that the man just now was not even prepared for a fight, so Hideki and Hiashi did not notice his presence.

This negligence also prevented Hideki's plan from being completed in one fell swoop...

However, Hideki had no mood to reflect at this time, and was flying at full speed in the dense forest.

Because if he remembered correctly, the Five-Tailed King was one of the fastest running beasts among the nine tailed beasts.

The most important question now is whether you can escape successfully.

Sure enough, a loud noise similar to the neighing of a horse soon came from behind, mixed with waves of sound.

Hideki turned his head and saw the huge five-tailed beast leaping out of the deep pit.

After it landed with a loud bang, it glared at them with eyes that were obviously filled with anger.

At the same time, white smoke was coming out of its nostrils, and its front hooves dug into the ground a few times, its intentions were quite obvious...

Seeing this, Hideki thought to himself that something was wrong.

As creatures made of chakra, the tailed beasts must have mastered the ability to sense chakra.

It is not known whether Han has completely tamed the Five-Tailed Fox, or whether they have temporarily shared a common hatred of the enemy because of the detonating talisman bathing service just now.

Anyway, now they seem to have locked onto their location and will definitely not give up.

Sure enough, the next moment, the five-tailed King Mu suddenly lowered his head and ran towards them.

Rumble!
All the trees and rocks along the way were smashed into pieces by the five huge horns on his head, and the rolling dust flew all around, creating an extremely spectacular scene.

It's a pity that Hideki didn't have the mood to appreciate it, and hurriedly urged:
"Everyone, run!"

However, even though they had just opened up a considerable distance and were still moving at full speed, the distance between them and the Five-Tail was still rapidly shortening.

Especially Ding Zuo, who had just been the main force in the guerrilla warfare, no longer had much chakra to use the Diamond Chariot to escape.

With his normal speed, he was naturally left behind and was about to be caught up by the Five-Tails...

"Dingzuo!"

Seeing this, Hideki was about to find a way to rescue him.

Unexpectedly, the five tails suddenly accelerated and came behind Ding Zuo...

"Horn fold!"

The five-tailed beast suddenly lowered its head and thrust forward, ramming its five horns towards Dingzuo.

"The art of doubling!"

Ding Zuo, who was well prepared, quickly used up his last chakra to expand his body and transformed into a black ball again.

Bang!
The two collided with each other, causing a huge crash.

Immediately afterwards, Ding Zuo was hit and flew forward at high speed like a ball.

The defensive power of the Hedgehog Combat Suit plus the buffering effect of the Multiplication Technique seemed to allow Ding Zuo to withstand this attack.

The black ball even used this force to fly forward rapidly, and it seemed that it was about to catch up with Hideki and the others.

However, no matter how Hideki and the others shouted, there was no response from Ding Zuo on the communicator.

Judging from the fact that the black ball still maintained its shape, Ding Zuo was not in immediate danger of life. He was just in a coma, relying on his survival instinct to maintain the doubling technique.

However, at his current flying speed, if he could not land safely, he would probably lose half of his life.

"Leave it to me."

Seeing that Ding Zuo would not wake up for a while, Xiu Shu thought about it and four boundary stone floating cannons shot out from his sleeves. They flew in front of the black ball with the momentum of a meteor chasing the moon, dragging a long blue stream of light...

"Star Barrier Technique: Iron Wall Formation."

Following Hideki's soft chant, the four floating cannons formed a square formation, connected to each other with chakra lines, and then transformed into a four-meter-long chakra barrier.

Immediately afterwards, the black ball slammed hard into the center of the barrier, but the expected violent collision did not occur.

It turned out that the barrier was quite elastic and was deformed and stretched in an instant after being hit.

There is no need to think too much, Hideki must have deliberately made the chakra that constitutes the barrier elastic.

Snapped!
Unfortunately, the barrier seemed to be lacking in strength, and the black ball eventually broke through it and continued to fly forward at high speed.

However, this was actually expected by Hideki.

After this cushioning and guidance of the landing angle, the black ball will not cause too much damage after landing and can continue to move forward.

On the contrary, it would be most dangerous to let Ding Zuo stop completely now.

Then Hideki quickly gave orders while retrieving the floating gun:

"Senior Jaw, please take Ding Zuo to evacuation point C first."

"I'll stay here to buy time."

"Wait, isn't this the reverse of the mission?"

Inuzuka Jaw said anxiously,

"As a senior, how could I abandon you and run away?"

"Senior Jaw, don't you know my character?"

Hideki chuckled.

"I would not give such instructions if I am not sure enough."

"Please never doubt my ability to escape and save my life."

Inuzuka Jaw recalled the various escape techniques he had seen when he was on a team with Hideki in the past, and he had to admit defeat.

"You just promised me that you would make me a set of exclusive ninja tools after returning to the village. Hideki, you can't break your promise!"

Inuzuka Jaw gritted his teeth and said, then he flashed to the back of Dingzuo's black ball and kicked it directly, causing the black ball to adjust its direction and head towards the evacuation point.

If you want to leave, just leave. Why do you have to put a flag on me?

Hideki complained in his heart, and then instructed:
"Hiizashi-senpai, you are closer to evacuation point B, so please retreat from there."

"I understand……"

Hinata Hizashi's voice sounded.

After finishing his instructions, Hideki looked back at the Five-tailed King Mu who was about to kill him, and seemed to be thinking about something.

It was actually the first time for him to come into such close contact with the tailed beasts.

He could clearly feel the immense amount of chakra without using any perception ninjutsu, and he couldn't help but feel a disgust and fear that came from the bottom of his soul.

This may be because humans who "stole" the chakra of the sacred tree have a natural aversion to the tailed beasts that originated from the sacred tree.

Plus, once it goes berserk, it's like a natural disaster...

It is no wonder that the Jinchūriki who should have been the hero of each village ended up being hated and alienated by everyone...

However, Hideki quickly came to his senses and realized that this was not the time to make up the settings in his mind.

Although his current strength has improved a lot.

But apart from the explosive ninja tool that he had just used up, he no longer had any means that could be effective against large monsters like the tailed beasts.

After all, in high-level battles in the ninja world, all the fancy techniques are of little use.

The amount of chakra is the key to victory or defeat.

Therefore, Hideki did not dare to have any extravagant hopes of defeating the furious Five-Tails, and could only hope to buy some time temporarily.

"The art of spiritual connection!"

Hideki formed seals with his hands and used the technique of telepathy to achieve faster thinking speed.

Then, in a split second, he had come up with a plan that was worth a try...
