The Road to the Throne of White Eyes

Chapter 165: Sasuke's Battle 3

In the Konoha Forest, ten figures quickly shuttled through the forest.

Uzumaki Naruto led the charge, followed closely by Inuzuka Kiba, Shimura Kyoko, and Aburame Shino. Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, and Akimichi Chouji provided support. At the very back was the elite Genin duo of Ito Tomo, Sawagoe Makoto, and Matsumoto Jun, who had graduated several years earlier.

"Hurry up, if we're too late Sasuke will be in danger!"

Naruto kept speeding up along the way, urging the group of people behind him to keep up.

The actual leader of this operation, the new Konoha Chunin Nara Shikamaru, couldn't help but roll his eyes and gave Ino and the others a cautious look again.

On the road of pursuit, Shikamaru looked lazy on the surface, but he was very cautious in his heart. His brain kept working at high speed, and he always paid attention to every trace while maintaining the speed of pursuit.

Carrying the pressure of a group of people on his shoulders was not easy. Shikamaru had to be cautious and vigilant, making the most appropriate balance between the mission and the safety of his teammates. His clever mind still couldn't figure out why such an important mission was completed by a newly promoted Chunin like him, leading several teams of Genin.

Konoha's combat power is not so scarce!

As he was thinking, Ya's nose suddenly twitched a few times, and then he spoke to remind him: "There are more people ahead, and there is a strong smell of blood. Be careful."

"Everyone, be careful. Slow down and split into three groups to observe closely. Shino, release the parasite..."

Shikamaru had just finished his arrangement when the others slowed down, but Naruto ignored them and rushed forward.

"Fight, Sasuke, I'm here to save you!"

Naruto's impulsive behavior left Shikamaru speechless. He could only smile bitterly and said, "Let's go in a different direction from Naruto and sneak over. Shino, you continue to explore, Ito, you keep an eye on the surroundings, and everyone stay alert."

Shikamaru's heart was in his throat at this moment. He felt that something was wrong with this mission while on the chase. Although various investigations did not reveal any problems, he always felt that there were other people around him.

"What is gay!"

Naruto ignored Shikamaru and the others behind him and rushed into an open space shouting loudly.

There were more than a dozen Konoha ninjas wearing animal masks lying here, blood and fallen trees were everywhere, and in the middle of the battlefield stood a handsome young man with blood-white clothes, white hair, green eyes, and two red dots on his eyebrows.

"Where did you take Sasuke? Hand him over now!"

Without having time to care about the bodies of his Konoha colleagues, Naruto stood in front of Kimimaro and shouted excitedly.

"Sasuke? That's the body Orochimaru-sama needs, and someone has already taken him away. As long as I'm here, you won't be able to ruin Orochimaru-sama's plan!"

Kimimaro had a cold and calm expression, even though he had just killed more than a dozen members of the Anbu and Root, he still looked calm and composed. Only when he mentioned Orochimaru did his expression and voice fluctuate slightly, as if he had come back to life.

After hearing what Kimimaro said, Naruto's face was filled with anger, "I won't let that disgusting guy hurt Sasuke, he's my recognized companion, bastard!"

After saying that, Naruto didn't care why Shikamaru and the others didn't catch up, and directly launched an attack.

"The art of multiple shadow clones"

Driven by excitement, the shadow clones that Naruto created this time were all furious and rushed directly towards Kimimaro. Naruto himself wanted to bypass Kimimaro and continue chasing him from behind.

"Ten fingers piercing bullets"

Kimimaro's physical skills were outstanding. He passed through the dense shadow clones with ease, then shot out ten finger bones from both hands to stop Naruto's pursuit.

Then Kimimaro quickly rushed to Naruto and started a close combat with physical skills.

"Corpse Veins: Willow Dance"

Sharp bone spurs flashing with cold light grew out of Kimimaro's palms, thighs, elbows, back and other parts of his body, and he attacked Naruto like a rolling meat grinder.

Naruto was startled by this sudden change, and his brain had not yet reacted to dodge, but his beast-like instinct made him twist his body spontaneously, and he dodged a round of attacks in a awkward manner.

Even so, Naruto still had several bloody wounds on his body in a short period of time, but fortunately the injuries were not in vital areas.

"Damn it, you monster!"

"Everyone, we can't just stand by and watch ourselves get bullied. Let's go together!"

"Go, defeat this monster and rescue Sasuke!"

After Naruto was injured, his shadow clones roared as if they had suffered a great humiliation and charged towards Kimimaro in groups. After Naruto's original body tried to bypass Kimimaro several times and was blocked, he gave up his hope and attacked together with the shadow clones.

Outside the battlefield between Naruto and Kimimaro, Shikamaru and his group gathered together again, watching the battle in the field while discussing the current situation.

Aburame Shino spoke first: "Shikamaru, I've scanned the surrounding area with parasite bugs, and no enemies are found."

Inuzuka Kiba continued, "I circled around. Apart from Naruto and the others who were fighting, there were two other scents leaving. The remaining scents were from us and the Anbu who were lying on the ground."

"Shikamaru, what should we do?"

Ino blinked her big eyes and stared at Shikamaru and asked. Although she had liked the handsome Sasuke before, Ino was not obsessed with him. She still knew that she had to listen to the judgment of the leading chunin Shikamaru during the mission.

Shikamaru looked at the enemy who was moving like a ghost among a large group of Narutos and could destroy a shadow clone with a single wave of his hand, and he felt very hesitant.

A ninja should prioritize the mission, but he didn't want to give up on his friends. Although everyone's detection and his own observations showed that there was no one else around, his subconscious repeatedly reminded him that something was wrong around him, so Shikamaru had been unable to make up his mind.

“Asshole, how could my pursuit of Sasuke stop because of a monster like you?

Eight Gates of Dunjia. Open! "

After a long siege on Kimimaro, Naruto's shadow clones were gradually eliminated. Naruto became a little anxious and activated the Eight Gates, attacking Kimimaro with chakra flames all over his body.

Unfortunately, most of Naruto's powerful attacks were dodged by Kimimaro. Occasionally, one or two attacks hit him, but they had no effect. Instead, Naruto felt severe pain in his own fist.

"superior!

Ito Shinobi, you guys attack with ninja tools and ninjutsu, paying attention to targeting the enemy's eyes and ears.

Ino, Choji and I used ninja tools to test the waters, gradually approached, and then tried to use the family secret technique.

Shino, Kiba, and Kyoko, continue exploring the periphery and be ready to respond at any time!"

Shikamaru observed the battle for a while and had a certain understanding of how difficult the enemy was. Although he was still a little uneasy, he knew that he could not delay any longer.

We can only improvise!
