Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 38: Unsung Heroes! (Seeking follow-up recommendation votes and monthly tickets)

"Captain, the air ninjas are chasing us from both sides!"

Aburame Toichi's voice rang out.

On the back of the ninja dog Black Ball, Xingxia Xiu opened his eyes and looked to the left and right. In the dense forest, afterimages flickered.

"You go first!"

As the voice fell, Xingxiaxiu had disappeared from the back of the black ball, and his body split into two, pouncing to the left and right sides respectively.

Soon, Inuzuka Ling and Aburame Feiyi heard screams.

After a while, Xingxia Xiu caught up with a bloody ninja sword.

However, the Sora Ninja's strategy was undoubtedly successful.

Even though Xing Xiaxiu and others retreated alternately, their speed inevitably slowed down.

More and more air ninjas came chasing after them, and the number of elite soldiers also increased.

Xingxia Xiu has fought with the senior ninja Gu Yue Dacheng more than once.

In such a situation, the roots inevitably began to lose people.

Finally, after walking out of a forest and into an open area, the Sky Ninjas surrounded them from all directions.

After a period of chasing, Kong Ren finally completed the encirclement of Xingxia Xiu and others.

And the price they paid for this was dozens of corpses.

call out!
The flare rose into the air and then exploded with a loud bang.

Shimura Daichi gave the signal to gather the other nearby Root teams.

"Use Earth Escape to build a defensive line."

Xing Xiaxiu said: "You buy me half an hour!"

Shimura Daichi nodded immediately: "No problem!"

"Within half an hour, no enemy will rush in front of you."

After saying that, Shimura Daichi nodded to the captains of the other teams.

The next moment, many Root ninjas scattered, and those who mastered earth escape techniques formed hand seals. The earth shook, and stone walls rose from the ground, one circle after another.

Two minutes later.

Accompanied by the roar of air friction, a large-scale storm swept towards the defense circle built by the roots.

Walls exploded, leaving only ruins.

This is the advantage of having more people. The air ninjas can work together to perform large-scale wind-style ninjutsu.

But even so, it is impossible to wipe out the defense built by the roots in one breath.

You can only clear the outermost part and then charge.

The real battle began, with dozens of people fighting in the alleys formed by walls.

Explosive tags, hidden weapons, close combat physical skills and swordsmanship, but ninjutsu confrontation is a minority.

Roars, screams, roars, and the sound of blood gushing out mixed together.

While resting to recover his strength, Xing Xiaxiu's nose was already filled with the smell of blood.

He observed the situation. The Root Ninjas were undoubtedly elite. Although not every one of them was a Jonin, each one could be considered an elite among the Chunin.

But it could not withstand the siege of dozens of nearly a hundred air ninjas. As it retreated step by step, its space for movement was constantly being compressed.

Moreover, the air ninjas are still gathering.

Suddenly, Xingxia Xiu heard Inuzuka Ling's shouting.

It’s Aburame Hiichi.

Xingxiaxiu's eyelids twitched, but she still didn't do anything.

He doesn't have enough physical strength yet, and taking action now will not change the overall situation.

Time passes little by little.

Nearly half an hour later, the only remaining defenses at the root were the last three stone walls.

Xing Xiaxiu, who had been resting, finally stood up, put his hands together and made the "Si" seal.

Wood escape - the birth of the tree world!

Xing Xiaxiu lowered her eyes, and vine seedlings slowly emerged from the ground.

The moment he suddenly opened his eyes, the vines' growth suddenly accelerated, growing wildly, and in a blink of an eye, they were as thick as a person's waist. They quickly spread outward in all directions like a green tide. First, the root ninjas, then the air ninjas.

shhhhhh!
Vines and trees swept across, and the limbs of the air ninjas were bound one by one.

"Fall back!"

"spread!"

Loud shouts rang out one after another, and the air ninjas felt something was wrong and quickly retreated.

shhhhhh!
A sharp sound broke through the air suddenly.

An air ninja who had just avoided the entanglement of vines screamed as a wooden thorn pierced his body.

Xingxiaxiu stood on a vine, which kept growing forward, carrying him forward rapidly.

He created wooden thorns one after another, swung his arms, and threw them out, piercing through the air ninjas who were trying to avoid the entanglement of vines and trees.

Xingxiaxiu stood on the vine with one hand raised.

The air ninjas whose bodies were pierced by wooden thorns and entangled by vines let out shrill screams. Dense wooden thorns drilled out of their bodies, and blood splattered, staining the green leaves red.

Such screams made Gu Yue Dacheng and other air ninjas who were still retreating feel terrified.

They clearly had the upper hand and were about to wipe out this group of people.

Unexpectedly, the collapse came in an instant.

Gu Yue Dacheng cut off the vines that were wrapped around him, and out of the corner of his eye he saw his bound companions being killed easily one by one.

It’s not that no one wanted to perform Fire Escape, but Xingxia Xiu didn’t give them the chance to form hand seals.

Even if someone used Fire Style, they would soon be submerged in green and extinguished by Water Style.

at last.

The forest stopped expanding.

Gu Yue Dacheng and the others stopped and looked around, only twelve people were left.

At the edge of the forest, Xingxia Xiu stood with one hand on the tree trunk.

Immediately afterwards, Inuzuka Ryo, Shimura Daichi and other Root ninjas appeared one after another, but only eight people were left.

And in the artificial forest behind them, nearly a hundred people were buried.

"Senior Gu Yue, should we continue?"

A Sky Ninja asked Gu Yue Dacheng, his voice trembling slightly and cold sweat rolling down his forehead.

Gu Yue Dacheng heard his companions' fear. He looked at the others. Even those who were also senior ninjas had lost their will to fight.

And just at this moment, a Root team arrived.

Gu Yue Dacheng took a look and then gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat!"

The other jonin looked at each other and nodded: "Retreat!"

A dozen or so Sky Ninjas decisively turned around and retreated. Not long after, they met a group of Sky Ninjas coming to reinforce them. After they joined forces, they returned the same way.

However, Gu Yue Dacheng and others did not attack the forest created by Xing Xiaxiu, but watched from afar, watching the root teams enter one by one.

……

On the tree, watching the Kongnin retreat, Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his legs were not so weak anymore.

He's almost reached his limit.

If we continue like this, we will really have to fight to the death.

Fortunately, the air ninja was scared.

But at this moment, the eyes of Root ninjas such as Shimura Daichi looking at Hoshita Hide were completely different.

The powerful Wood Release technique and one ninjutsu turned the tide of the battle, which was even more shocking than the previous performance.

And those air ninjas who were hung up and died in a miserable manner further demonstrated the horror and power of Wood Release.

Xing Xiaxiu accepted this look calmly and said calmly: "Hurry up and rest."

After saying that, he jumped into the depths of the woods.

Inuzuka Ling immediately jumped up and followed: "Captain, the flying insects are dead in battle."

Xingxia Xiu already knew this. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "Bring his body back to Konoha. He is the unsung hero who protected Konoha. There will be a memorial for him."

Inuzuka Ling nodded silently.
