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

Chapter 64 You are surrounded by me! (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

咻咻 咻 ~
Figures flashed in the darkness.

Xing Xiaxiu and the other two were completely surrounded from all sides.

More than twenty Sand Ninjas appeared.

Inuzuka Ling's palms started sweating when he saw this. His body slightly bent down, and his muscles and spirit tensed up instantly.

On his shoulder, the black ball jumped to the ground, its body immediately expanded, its sharp claws popped out, and it let out a dull roar.

Next to him, densely packed insects emerged from Ryoma Aburame's body.

Looking at the large number of Sand Ninja who suddenly appeared, Xingxia Xiu couldn't help but say, "To deal with just a few of us, they actually mobilized so many people. It really makes us feel honored!"

"After all, he is a user of the Wood Release Secret Technique. This number of people shouldn't be a big deal."

A middle-aged Sand Ninja stepped forward and said, "We have more people on the way. This is a sign of respect for the Ninja God. Your Excellency, I believe you don't mind."

These words made Inuzuka Ling and Aburame Ryoma feel a chill in their hearts. Inuzuka Ling almost subconsciously whispered: "Captain, our information has been leaked!"

Aburame Ryoma also had this thought, but then he thought to himself: "Impossible, the village will never abandon a user of the Wood Release secret technique."

"It's a flying ninja beast... A flying ninja beast can be faster than us. The Sand Ninja does have time to mobilize more manpower to ambush here."

Xingxia Xiu seemed not to have heard what Inuzuka Ling said, and laughed: "You are really polite."

"Since you're so polite, I can make your death less painful later."

The middle-aged Sand Ninja said solemnly: "As expected of a talent who has mastered the secret technique of Wood Release, he is still so confident in the face of such a situation."

"However, I still advise you to surrender directly. We can guarantee your life."

"Also, allow your two companions to leave."

Inuzuka Ling snorted coldly after hearing this: "Hey, we are not cowards who would abandon our companions and run away."

"If you guys aren't afraid of death, just go ahead!"

The youngest, Aburame Ryoma, said coolly in a childish voice, "My bugs are very hungry."

Xingxia Xiu glanced at Aburame Ryoma and wanted to teach him a word.

But the timing is not right now.

Across from him, the middle-aged Sand Ninja took a step back: "In that case, we'll have no choice but to take your body back!"

shhhhhh!
A large number of shurikens flew out, some of which carried explosive talismans.

Wood escape-Wooden spindle wall!
Xing Xiaxiu put his hands together and formed a seal. Curved vines rose from the ground around them, covering the three of them upside down, layer by layer.

Beep!
Rumble!
Although there were many attacks, they did not break the defense.

However, under the cover of such an attack, one puppet after another flew out under the control of the puppeteer.

The wooden wall opened, and a large number of insects flew out and pounced on the puppets.

At the same time, vines rose from the ground like dancing dragons and snakes.

Wood Release - Diamond Calling Wood.

However, as soon as the vines appeared, they were cut off by the wind blades.

shhhhhh!
One puppet after another fired a large number of poisonous senbon and kunai, and a large number of insects fell to the ground, but more of them avoided it and wrapped up the two puppets, instantly making them unable to move.

And Xingxia Xiu stepped forward and stood in front of Inuzuka Ling and Aburame Ryoma. A large number of senbon and kunai fell on him, making clanging sounds and landing all over the ground.

Suddenly, Xingxiaxiu disappeared from where he was.

He held a long sword in his right hand and raised his left hand with one hand. The severed vines continued to grow and attacked the Sand Ninjas one by one.

The long sword in his hand was shining with a brilliant green light, and thin and sharp chakra was flowing at high speed.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

A large number of hidden weapons were blocked by Xingxia Xiu with his long sword.

Bang bang bang!
Suddenly, the soil under Xing Xiaxiu's feet exploded and his body accelerated suddenly.

boom!
A puppet exploded in the darkness with a flash of green light, shattered into pieces, and countless parts flew everywhere.

The air flow under Xing Xiaxiu's feet continued to spray out, forming a powerful explosive force, which made his explosive power soar.

In particular, with Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma following behind, the insects were never afraid of sacrifice and would invade the puppets' bodies first, restricting their joints.

Xing Xia Xiu destroyed three puppets in a row at an extremely fast speed. Just as he was about to continue, dense wind blades swept over.

Wind Escape - Thousand Faces of Wind!
Hoshita Hide himself can use his indestructible body to withstand it, but Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma behind him cannot.

So he changed his mind, and vines rose from the ground in front of him, turning into layers of wooden walls to block the wind blades.

At this time, Sand Ninjas attacked from behind and on both sides, and there were also four puppets.

Xing Xiaxiu frowned slightly.

There were many Sand Ninjas, but none of them came rushing over.

Otherwise, he would have been born directly in the tree world.

This situation, with waves of attacks and constant tests, made him very unhappy.

However, facing someone who has mastered the secret technique of Wood Release, such a cautious attitude seems to be natural.

After all, the Sand Ninja had just wiped out two teams, so they must have already obtained this information.

"We must fight quickly!"

A cold light flashed in Xingxiaxiu's eyes, and two wooden clones immediately condensed behind his back.

shhhhh!

The two clones flew out, each holding a seal in one hand and a long sword in the other.

When the skin all over his body hardened, he switched to using two swords.

Boom boom boom!
One puppet after another exploded in the flickering green light.

The wooden clone chose close combat, dual-sword style, and with the explosive power provided by the initially formed Wind Instant Body, he eliminated the four puppets in the blink of an eye.

Almost at the same time, Xing Xia Xiu put away his sword and clasped his hands together.

Wood escape - the birth of the tree world!

A large number of vines emerged from the ground and swarmed towards the Sand Ninja who was attacking from behind.

Boom!

The air rubbed against each other, making a rumbling sound. A storm swept through, and countless wind blades were mixed in, cutting through the thick vines.

However, once the vine is broken, it will grow again rapidly.

Xingxia Xiu did not hesitate to consume his energy, but also let the tree world cover those Sand Ninjas.

The wooden clone that had gotten rid of the puppet immediately entangled it, and in a blink of an eye, screams were heard from the forest.

Got it!
"Retreat into the forest!"

Xingxiaxiu shouted softly.

Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma immediately retreated into the forest.

Xingxiaxiu stood on the tree branch, still holding a seal in one hand and a long sword in the other.

shhhhhh!
The Sand Ninjas on all sides threw shurikens with detonating tags on them.

In fact, using wind escape is more effective.

But the screams of their companions continued, which made them dare not use wind escape on a large scale to flatten the forest.

Then, clearing and advancing the detonating talismans bit by bit seems to be the best option.

Rumble!
A large number of detonating talismans exploded, flames shot into the sky, and large areas of trees were blown to pieces.

Xingxia Xiu casually swung his sword and chopped the shuriken away.

The nearby explosion created a rolling heat wave, causing her clothes to rustle and her long black hair to flutter.

When the explosion ended and the smoke cleared, many Sand Ninjas saw that the trees that had been destroyed were growing back rapidly, and they didn't even have time to rush over.

And in the woods, the screams of companions were still being heard.

"hateful!"

"This bastard is just afraid that we will use wind escape on a large scale!"

"Why not launch an all-out attack? I don't believe his chakra can withstand the onslaught of all of us!"

The screams of their companions made many Sand Ninjas furious, and their calm minds began to become irritable.

But they didn't know that the source of the rapidly regrowing vine chakra was not Xingxia Xiu, but their companions.

At this moment, the commander-in-chief of this operation, the middle-aged Sand Ninja Shamaru Oura, who had previously talked with Hoshita Hide, was also hesitating.

Judging from the recent battle and the brief intelligence sent from the Ancient Kingdom of Good, the most terrifying aspect of the Wood Release technique is the creation of a forest, creating an absolute advantage in terrain.

Moreover, those vines have the property of infinite regeneration. The only limitation is probably chakra.

Being trapped in the enemy's territory and facing attacks from all directions will make you very passive.

Using large-scale wind-style ninjutsu to flatten it is the best option, but there are hostages inside now.

Large-scale wind escape might kill even his own people.

After hesitating for a moment, Shamaru Oura made a decision and quickly gave the order.

Kill into the forest!
But not all of them, only those who are good at close combat, especially puppeteers.

The remaining people still stayed outside to provide support.

Once the battle in the forest becomes unfavorable, use large-scale wind escape to cover the retreat, or even... launch indiscriminate attacks.

In short, the user of the Wood Release secret technique must never be allowed to cross the border alive.

With a command, more than a dozen Sand Ninjas rushed towards the Tree World from all directions.

Xingxia Xiu looked at the Sand Ninja rushing towards him and couldn't help but smile under his mask.

Then he leaped back and disappeared into the darkness.

At the same time, Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma separated and each formed a team with a wooden clone of Hoshita Hide.

The moment a dozen Sand Ninjas stepped into the tree world, Xingxia Xiu's voice rang in their ears.

"Now, you are surrounded by me!"

The next moment, the entire forest came alive, and the vines moved.

And then, the sword flashed, and the puppets revealed their killing mechanisms, cutting down the vines one by one and continuing to advance.

Sudden.

A green light flashed, followed by screams.

The right hand of a Sand Ninja holding a ninja sword was cut off at the root, and then he was entangled by vines and dragged away, disappearing from the sight of his companions.

"careful!"

"Don't spread out too far, maintain battle formation!"

"Use a puppet to restrain this guy. He's not afraid of physical attacks or poison!"

Loud shouts came one after another, mixed in with the clanging of metal, screams, and the sound of puppets being blown up.

In the dark woods, Xingxia Xiu was like a ghost. The dull explosion caused by the air flow under his feet gradually became a heavy hammer, constantly hitting the Sand Ninja's heart.

There was a fierce battle going on inside the forest, while outside the forest, several Sand Ninjas such as Shamaru Oura were feeling extremely tormented listening to the shouts and screams.

Just from the sound, one could tell that the battle in the forest was extremely fierce, and they were clearly at a disadvantage due to their large numbers.

Seeing that the movement was dwindling, Shawan Oura shouted, "Wind Style!"

Several Sand Ninjas formed hand seals together.

Wind Escape-Big Breakthrough!
Wind Style - Air currents dancing wildly!

Wind Style - Sandstorm!
The three large-scale wind-style ninjutsu do not cause physical damage.

However, the strong wind, with flying sand and rocks, blew the not-so-large trees to and fro, which also affected its aggressiveness.

At this moment, Aburame Ryoma and Inuzuka Ryo had to lie on the ground and could no longer fight.

But Xingxia Xiu still had two wooden clones, who braved the storm to chase after several Sand Ninjas who were also struggling to retreat in the storm.

When the storm ends.

A Sand Ninja rushed out of the tree world.

Shawan Oura immediately jumped up to catch him.

But just as he moved, a whooshing sound was heard, and wooden thorns flew out from the woods.

The fleeing Sand Ninja dodged repeatedly, but could not avoid being pierced through the body by the wooden spikes.

As Shawan Oura landed, wood roots pierced through the body of the person in front of him, and blood splattered all over his face.

His expression froze for a moment, and Shawan Oura looked up at Xingxia Xiu who appeared at the edge of the tree world. He immediately suppressed his anger and said, "Bullshit!"

"understand!"

Several Sand Ninjas shouted in unison.

Wind Escape - Snare!

Wind Escape-Big Snare!
Wind Release-Wind Cut Technique!

The storm arose again, but it was mixed with wind blades and large-scale network winds. Wherever it passed, trees were cut in half and fell down in large numbers.

however.

The vines continue to grow, densely packed like a wall of trees.

The Sand Ninja's wind escape only flattened the woods within a radius of about ten meters, and then it was powerless to continue.

After the storm passes.

Before Shawan Oura and the others could form hand seals again, the forest grew and spread rapidly, spreading outwards at a rapid speed.

"How come his chakra is so abundant?"

There Sand Ninja roared in disbelief.

Shawan Oura was also shocked and felt something was wrong, but he didn't have time to think about it. He immediately led the remaining people to retreat while forming seals with his hands.

Wind Escape - Thousand Faces of Wind!
However, it couldn't stop the overwhelming vines.

After performing a ninjutsu, Shamaru Oura and others needed to form hand seals again, but Xingxia Xiu held the seal with one hand and continuously drew chakra from many Sand Ninjas, causing the tree world to expand rapidly.

When Shamaru Oura and others who were retreating continuously completed the seal and launched the ninjutsu again, the tree world was already in front of them.

Rumble!
The storm swept through, cutting down many large trees, but they continued to grow again.

The wind-style ninjutsu ended, and in less than two seconds, the tree world recovered and surged forward rapidly.

At this moment, Shamaru Oura deeply felt the horror of the Wood Release secret technique.

"I can't escape..."

Shawan Oura suddenly stopped and said, "You retreat first!"

After he finished speaking, a sharp stream of air gushed out of his mouth, and then a storm arose, and countless wind blades swept through, cutting off the vines that were submerging.

"team leader……"

A few Sand Ninjas who retreated first looked back, only to see that Shamaru Oura was submerged in the green tide and disappeared from sight.

In the tree world.

Two voices crossed each other in the air.

As his body fell, Shawan Oura lowered his head and saw blood gushing out of his abdomen.

The second knife!

At the moment of the confrontation, Xingxia Xiu withdrew his seal, pulled out a dagger, and slashed it across his abdomen.

shhhhhh!
The vines came whistling.

Shamaru Oura wanted to dodge, but he stumbled and was immediately entangled by vines, and his chakra was drained.

"That's it...that's it."

Shawan Oura opened his eyes wide and finally understood what was unusual.

These vines can actually extract chakra!
"It turns out that the people you captured in the beginning were not used as hostages."

Sandamaru Oura spoke.

Xing Xiaxiu landed in front of him and said calmly, "I promised you that I would not let your death be painful. Now I will fulfill my promise."

After saying that, Xing Xiaxiu formed seals with his hands.

The art of the Heavenly Dream Walker!
Their eyes met, and Shawan Oura's eyelids became heavy and slowly drooped, plunging into darkness.

At this time, the remaining Sand Ninjas were also swallowed by the tree world, and then were injured by Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Ryoma, and then hung up.

The battle ended and the Sand Ninja were completely wiped out.

However, Xingxia Xiu did not let Inuzuka Ling and Aburame Ryoma rest. He left two wooden clones in the tree world, and the three of them crossed the border and entered the River Kingdom without stopping.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

Outside the tree world, the sound of breaking air was heard, and figures fell one after another.

The Sand Ninja reinforcements have arrived!
