I'm in Konoha, I have ten skill bars

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Konoha Village, Sasuke was sitting by a campfire recovering his strength.

There were several other people beside him.

These people are the Four Sound People who came to support Sasuke.

Sakon Ukon, Kidomaru, Jirobo, Tayuya!

Tayuya: "You still have energy left, why do you want to stop and rest? Are you stalling for time on purpose to let the Konoha ninja catch up?"

Sasuke glanced at the guy called Tayuya.

"If the enemy really catches up with us, how can we fight with our lack of energy at this moment?"

"Besides, if I didn't want to escape from Konoha, why would I defect? ​​Do you think a defecting ninja can regret it?"

Tayuya didn't expect Sasuke to have such a hot temper, and he could make her lose face with just one word.

This guy is no fun at all.

"That's enough rest! Let's go! I won't stop for the next three hours. Since you think resting is a waste of time, then just walk!"

"I hope your stamina is really that good!"

Sasuke stood up and prepared to continue!

This time, the faces of several people are not very good!

Chapter 196 Strange Clouds Goodbye Shi Yu

"Most of Konoha's jonin have already left the village, and the remaining ninjas are already struggling to defend Konoha!"

"Maybe they won't send ninjas after us at all!"

Kidomaru said, and Sasuke sneered "Do you think Konoha is out of powerful ninjas?"

"The lack of a jonin doesn't mean there aren't powerful ninjas."

Kidomaru was very confused, "Does Konoha have any secret forces?"

"No, but if we send those people out, even though they are Genin, they must not be underestimated!"

Genin?

Kidomaru and the others looked at each other. They didn't quite understand why Sasuke cared about a mere Genin.

rear.

Shikamaru is chasing Sasuke and others.

As soon as Neji saw Shikamaru leave Konoha, he started running rapidly in one direction. Although Shino was not assigned to the mission, Shikamaru called Shino.

The bugs of the Aburame clan can help chase Sasuke.

After determining the direction, Shikamaru immediately asked everyone to speed up.

After running wildly for more than half an hour, Neji finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Shikamaru, if this direction is wrong, then we have come here in vain!"

Hearing this Shikamaru turned back to look at Neji "No! This must be the right direction!"

Shino: "Ningji, please trust my jutsu! Bugs can't make mistakes!"

Neji shook his head, "It's not a problem with your ninjutsu. There are many ways to deceive your insect pursuit, such as having someone take Sasuke's clothes and escape in another direction!"

"No! They won't!"

Shikamaru said with certainty.

"Why?" Ningji didn't think so. If it were him, he would!

"Because there is no need. Sasuke defected to Konoha, where there is no powerful ninja in the world. Who can say that they are 100% sure of defeating Sasuke?"

"You all saw what happened during the Chunin Exams. Don't you know exactly how strong Sasuke is?"

Shikamaru looked in that direction and said, "Even if he is facing a top jonin, Sasuke is confident that he can defeat him, so is there any need for him to resort to these methods?"

"Besides, Orochimaru will send someone to pick up Sasuke. With more help, Sasuke won't have to worry about it anymore."

"So what they need to do is leave the Fire Nation as quickly as possible!"

"And the fastest way to leave the Fire Nation is this direction!"

Shikamaru turned around and said, "Plus, Shino also confirmed this direction, so I say this direction is correct!"

After hearing this explanation, Ningji was stunned for a moment. It did make some sense.

"Now keep speeding up, I know a few ways that can get us faster!"

As he spoke, Shikamaru turned at a fork in the road and headed to the right!

Although Sasuke is fast, he probably doesn't know these roads. A straight line on the map cannot be walked out in reality.

So they had to take a detour to get around obstacles, and Sasuke mostly took the main road, while Shikamaru took shortcuts.

In this way, although Sasuke left first, Shikamaru and others gradually closed the distance between them and Sasuke.

In addition, Sasuke seemed to have some concerns and always retained enough physical strength to deal with battles that might arise at any time.

So every three hours, he would stop and rest.

Shikamaru and the others slowed down, but distributed their energy evenly. After all, for such a long distance, distributing their energy evenly and maintaining a moderate speed was the fastest way to advance.

The pursuit lasted a full eight hours.

By the time the eight hours were up, it was already daybreak.

At daybreak.

Suddenly Ino spoke up, "I sensed Sasuke's chakra!"

Now Ino is supported by Choji. If it weren't for Choji, she would have collapsed long ago. Fortunately, she finally sensed Sasuke's chakra.

This means that Sasuke is no more than 500 meters away from them!

"Everyone, hurry up and catch up with Sasuke!"

Neji was very excited.

Finally caught up with the mission target.

However, Shikamaru suddenly said, "No! Everyone stop and take a rest. Ino, you continue to sense Sasuke's chakra. Once they start moving, we must also start moving and keep a safe distance from them!"

"Why?" Neji looked at Shikamaru.

"Do you still have the strength to fight now?"

Neji was stunned for a moment. After eight hours of running, he was exhausted. Even if he rushed forward, he could only watch Sasuke slip away.

You may even be killed by the other side.

After resting for a full half hour, the group still didn't recover much strength.

Compared to Sasuke and the others, their mental state is simply too bad. ...

They need to rest for at least three or four hours before they can recover enough to fight.

At this moment Ino suddenly opened her eyes.

Seeing Ino's actions, Shikamaru immediately asked, "What happened? Did Sasuke and the others start moving?"

"No!" Ino shook her head, and then her expression changed from surprise, to confusion, and finally to joy.

“No…no…this is…this is…Shigure’s…”

Before he could finish his words, a cloud suddenly floated in the sky.

The clouds just stopped above the heads of several people, and the sun was blocked by the clouds.

The moment everyone looked up at the sky, a small black dot fell from the sky.

Everyone stared at the small black dot, which continued to expand and enlarge in their eyes.

suddenly!

A cloud appeared on the ground, like cotton, steadily catching the person falling from the sky.

Choji, Neji, Rock Lee, Shino and the others instantly assumed fighting stances.

At this time, a familiar voice sounded.

"Long time no see, everyone!"

Ningci was startled: "This voice is..."

Xiao Li rushed forward: "Shi Yu?"

However, at this moment, Ino rushed out from the crowd and jumped directly, flying towards Shigure.

Shi Yu was stunned for a moment, then opened his arms and hugged Ino who was flying towards him.

The next second, the two of them fell directly into the soft cloud 4.7 fog.

“Shigure…you…”

Ino's eyes were filled with tears and she couldn't speak completely.

And Shigure patted Ino's head.

"It's fine!"

Looking at Ino, Shigure already knew that this girl should have known that he had left Konoha!

There is no doubt that it was Shikamaru who told her. However, as part of the Suzaku, Lu, and Chosen trio, even if Shikamaru didn't tell others, he couldn't possibly not tell Ino. Besides, Ino has her family's secret technique, so she will know it sooner or later.

Shi Yu slowly got up and looked at the people in the distance.

"I didn't expect that we would meet so soon!"

“Shigure…you…”

Now Neji and others were staring at Shigure blankly. They didn’t know that Shigure had left Konoha, but they were not blind.

The Kirigakure Ninja forehead protector that Shigure is wearing now! ! ! .

Chapter 197: The Chase Battle and the Meeting with Sasuke

Everyone's eyes were focused on the forehead protector on Shi Yu's forehead.

Shi Yu raised his hand and touched the forehead protector on his head, then asked very calmly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my forehead protector?"

Behind him, Bai and Chojuro had just landed.

And Shigure looked back at the two of them and said, "Is my forehead protector not on properly?"

The two shook their heads.

"Shigure you..." Shikamaru opened his mouth to say something but didn't know how to start.

Neji: "Why are you wearing Kirigakure's forehead protector?"

Shigure glanced at Neji and said, "Shouldn't Kirigakure ninjas wear Kirigakure forehead protectors?"

"Did you also betray Konoha?" Neji's face turned a little bad.

Shigure didn't answer this question, but Shikamaru interrupted Neji and said, "If he was also a defecting ninja, the village would have issued a mission to capture him long ago!"

Upon hearing this, the others were also stunned. That’s right!

If Shigure was a defecting ninja, the village would have issued a mission to capture him long ago. Why would it be like this now?

"But! If you hadn't defected, why would you... be a ninja from Kirigakure!"

Xiao Li asked.

Ino: "Okay, stop asking. How are you doing in Kirigakure, Shigure-kun?"

Shigure nodded, "Not bad! If nothing goes wrong, I'll probably be the next Kage!"

This made Neji and the others even more confused. How could a Konoha ninja become the next Kage?

Is it really possible for the Hidden Mist Village to do this?

"Okay, let's not talk about me for now! Let's talk about this mission!"

Shigure looked at Shikamaru and put Ino down from his arms.

"Ino has sensed Sasuke's location. Sasuke is now within 500 meters of us!"
