Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Chapter 37 The Chase! (Please read on, vote, and give monthly tickets!)

The Wind Release: Rasengan has been unleashed!

The rapidly expanding sphere of light engulfed the entire office, then shrank dramatically.

Rumble!

A terrible storm erupted outwards, sending sand and stones flying everywhere.

Xingxia Xiu was in mid-air when she was immediately blown away.

He quickly used the Great Forest Technique, and vines sprouted from his palms, piercing the ground to secure himself.

Meanwhile, the air ninjas who had noticed the battle and rushed over were also blown away by the sudden storm.

When the storm ends.

As Hoshino landed, he immediately entered the large crater created by the Wind Release: Rasengan.

This place was originally the office building of the leader of the Sky Ninja Village, but now only ruins remain, except for a large crater.

The leader of the Sky Ninja Village, Aka, is at the bottom of the pit.

The figure landed in front of Bukong. At this moment, all of Bukong's cells were destroyed. Although he was not dead yet, he was unable to move.

Xingxia Xiu drew his sword and swung it down under Bukong's despairing gaze.

puff!

The body was severed in two.

Hoshino took the sealing scroll and sealed the head of the Void Ninja Village, then leaped and sped away from the village.

Behind them, one by one, the Sky Ninjas arrived at the battlefield, and upon seeing their leader's headless corpse, they were all shocked and at a loss for what to do.

It wasn't until a Jonin (high-ranking ninja) arrived that they had a leader, and under the Jonin's orders, they pursued Asahi Shiro in groups.

And this moment.

Outside the Sky Ninja Village.

A total of six root squads were lying in ambush.

Apart from the squads led by Shimura Daichi and Nakamura, which were summoned by Inuzuka Ryo and Aburame Hiichi, the other three Root squads were already lurking nearby and only came over after seeing the huge commotion that broke out in the Sky Ninja Village.

"The captain is out!"

Inuzuka Ryo, with his sharp eyes, spotted Hoshino Shu rushing forward at high speed.

Aburame Tobi said, "It seems like Nono U isn't here."

Inuzuka Ryo remained silent.

Such a commotion, especially for a kid like Yakushi Nonou...

soon.

Hoshino Hideaki rushed into the forest where Inuzuka Ryo and the others were, while the many Sky Ninjas who were chasing after him also broke out of the Sky Ninja Village one after another.

After learning the situation from Inuzuka Ryo, Hoshino Hide said without hesitation, "Three squads will form a group, with two groups taking turns to ambush and retreat."

A Root squad leader said, "A, we should take advantage of the chaos to eliminate more of the Sky Ninja's forces."

"The number of pursuing Sky Ninjas is not large."

With a cold gaze, Xingxia Xiu said, "I have already assassinated the leader of the Sky Ninja Village. The entire Sky Ninja Village will hunt us down at all costs."

"You think we shouldn't withdraw?"

What?

Everyone stared at Xingxia Show in shock.

The leader of the Sky Ninja is dead?

This……

Glug!

Some people couldn't help but swallow hard.

This is the leader of a village, and in terms of status, he is about the same as the Hokage of Konoha.

Although the leader of the Sky Village was certainly not as powerful as the Third Hokage, he must have been very strong, and he even had guards, yet he was assassinated.

And... it seems to be just one person.

No, two people.

But even if it's just two people, that's a bit of an exaggeration.

Nakamura, who had the most contact with Hoshino, found Hoshino's previous behavior quite normal after the initial shock.

This guy is someone even the Third Hokage wanted...

Shimura Daichi was one of the few people who knew that Hoshita Hide had mastered Wood Release, and he also knew that Hoshita Hide had killed the S-rank rogue ninja Kakuzu. So he quickly came to his senses and said, "Kaku, do as you say."

Now no one else had any objections.

The leader of the Sky Ninja was assassinated, and in his own village no less! The Sky Ninja must be going crazy.

Previously, Hoshinobu had created a huge mess and mobilized the power of the Sky Ninja Village.

Meanwhile, the leader of the Kongnin, Bukong, also intended to use himself as bait, which is how he succeeded.

Even though the Sora Ninja Village is a small ninja village, it still belongs to the second tier. It may not have many Jonin, but it certainly has more than a dozen.

Their small teams are no match for them at all.

Fighting while retreating is the best option.

After making the decision, the group acted swiftly.

Shimura Daichi, along with two squads led by Nakamura, plus a squad led by a burly Root ninja, were responsible for the first wave of interception.

The Star Show team, along with two other teams, retreated.

soon.

The first wave of pursuing ninjas from the Sky Ninjas stormed into the forest.

Ding ding ding!

boom!

Ah!

The clang of metal on metal, the roar of ninjutsu, and the mournful screams echoed through the forest.

Afterimages flashed as they clashed in various places, with blood splattering from time to time, staining the leaves red, and corpses falling, kicking up dust.

The Root ninjas fought and retreated, taking the lives of one Sky Ninja after another.

The latest novel is first published here!

But Kong Ren persevered and continued his pursuit.

Furthermore, new Sky Ninja continued to join the ranks.

the other side.

Xingxia Xiu silently ate the soldier's ration pills to recover his strength.

He was quite exhausted from the battle just now.

Especially the technique of Tree World Descent.

They easily captured the three guards of the Sky Ninja leader. While those three guards weren't all Jonin, their strength was certainly at the level of Special Jonin.

However, Hoshino carefully reviewed his battle.

Dealing with ordinary Jonin is not a problem.

But dealing with someone like the leader of the Sky Ninjas is bound to result in killing a thousand enemies while injuring three hundred of your own.

That is, it has Hashirama cells, otherwise the Wind Release: Rasengan shuriken, which is not yet complete, could not be used like that.

It will be very difficult to take down the leader of the Sky Ninja.

As for the Wood Release bloodline limit, its abilities are very comprehensive, but it still needs to be mastered and developed more deeply.

Hashirama Senju's Wood Release was so powerful not because of Wood Release itself, but because he was Hashirama Senju.

After resting for ten minutes.

Shimura Daichi and the others retreated, followed by a series of figures flashing behind them as the Sky Ninja relentlessly pursued them.

Xingxia Xiu emerged from behind the tree, clasped her hands together, and formed the "巳" seal.

Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!

A massive amount of chakra was injected into the earth, then surged into tree roots, and then entered the vegetation through the roots.

In an instant, the surrounding trees seemed to come alive, their branches and leaves extending and moving with a whooshing sound as they attacked the pursuing Sky Ninja.

"Be careful!"

"Boom!"

"Damn it, what kind of secret technique is this?"

Roars and booming sounds rose and fell.

One by one, the air ninjas were entangled and bound by the vines, and Inuzuka Ryo, Aburame Hiichi and others who were already prepared immediately pounced.

In an instant, a cacophony of screams erupted.

Behind them, Shimura Daichi and the others who were still retreating couldn't help but look back, only to see the bound Sky Ninjas being easily dealt with like lambs to the slaughter.

"This...this is the power of Wood Release?"

"What amazing power!"

"I never expected the Wood Release experiment to be a success!"

Many Root ninjas were secretly amazed, as this was the first time they had witnessed the power of Wood Release.

The battle to intercept them ended quickly.

However, Hoshino Shu was exhausted once again. After eating the soldier's ration pill, he was carried away by the black ball that had grown larger.

When the true Sky Ninja Jonin, Kozuki Taisei, arrived with his men, all they saw were corpses strewn across the ground, none of them belonging to the enemy.

A sense of dread crept in, and Yu Kong couldn't help but ask, "Captain, should we continue the pursuit?"

"It seems the enemy was well-prepared."

Gu Yue Dacheng snorted coldly: "They assassinated the leader; they must be kept in the Moon Kingdom!"

"Pursue them from both sides, entangle them, and buy them time!"
