Chapter 1051: Revenge Too Fast
Given the speed of Su Xiao's group, Hidden Stone Village's attempt to catch up to them was too ridiculous.
Half a kilometer behind Su Xiao's group, Hidden Stone Village's reinforcements had already joined Oonoki's group.
The reinforcements from Hidden Stone Village were led by the father-daughter duo, Kitsuchi and Kurotsuchi.
After joining Oonoki's group, Oonoki immediately took them under his command.
Oonoki, Kitsuchi, and Kurotsuchi were direct relatives. Oonoki was Kitsuchi's father, and Kurotsuchi was Kitsuchi's daughter and Oonoki's granddaughter.
With such connections, it wasn't surprising that she ended up becoming the fourth Tsuchikage. Her family was too powerful. Her grandfather was the third Tsuchikage, and her father was a strong shinobi who was not interested in the title of Tsuchikage.
So Oonoki, commanding a large force, decided to catch up with Su Xiao and his group.
If they caught up to him, they would definitely be able to wipe out the entire group.
Even if Oonoki and Kitsuchi were not taken into account, the next Tsuchikage alone should not be underestimated.
After all, Kurotsuchi wasn't only able to become a Kage because of her relatives.
And not only were the three of them a threat, there were other Shinobi out there as well.
There were a total of 10 Jonins, 15 special Jonins, 507 Chunins, and no genin in the pursuit group.
Oonoki divided the pursuit group into three subgroups. He himself had led a subgroup of 6 Jonins and they were currently trying to catch up to Su Xiao's group with all their might.
The second subgroup was commanded by Kurotsuchi. She led 4 Jounins, 5 special Jounins, and 150 Chunins, and her subgroup was located right behind Oonoki's vanguard.
The third subgroup was led by Kitsuchi. There were 10 special Jonins and 357 Chunins under his command. His subgroup was responsible for protecting the back and was supposed to prevent the entire group from being ambushed. His subgroup could support any other subgroup at any time.
And the third subgroup had supplies with them. Special high-speed jounins could come to the right shinobi at any time and give him everything he needed.
One could admit that Oonoka's organization was almost flawless. These three subgroups played different roles. The first was to catch up and delay the enemy, the second was the main striking force, and the third was responsible for protecting the back and logistics.
Such formations were obviously mostly used in actual wars.
And these three subgroups could not only pursue, but they could also counterattack even if they were trapped. No matter who gets in their way, even if they encounter 3-4 Kage-level shinobi, they will still be able to hold them off for a long time until other forces eventually come to their aid.
Oonoki, being a very experienced shinobi, had already participated in many wars, so he knew very well how and when to form detachments.
And he was cautious even in this situation because Akatsuki was an expert in fighting, and he was well aware that her strength couldn't be judged by the number of people. He had hired Akatsuki many times, and he knew it very well.
Other than that, Oonoki also made some arrangements in Hidden Stone Village so that the other Akatsuki members wouldn't be able to take advantage of this opportunity and destroy Hidden Stone Village while the main force was chasing this group.
The vanguard was the fastest and not to mention understanding the terrain, the fact that Oonoki could fly would help a lot in any pursuit.
But not only could Oonoki fly, but so could his granddaughter, Kurotsuchi.
Although Su Xiao's group was being chased by a large number of people, it didn't mean that they were slow.
All of them were shinobi and such harassment was common for them.
Su Xiao and the group were running away while Hidden Stone Village's forces were chasing them. This made Su Xiao think that revenge should have been done too quickly.
Just a few days ago, he had chased after Mei Terumi and her group, and now he was being chased after.
He had no illusions and was well aware that if they were caught up, they would be killed, but fortunately, their speed wasn't on the same level.
After thirty minutes of pursuit, the two sides were separated by one kilometer.
An hour later they were three kilometers apart.
Four hours later, they were more than five kilometers away from their pursuers..
----
At night, in the desert.
Su Xiao was sitting on a boulder with a cigarette in his mouth. Bubtny was sprawled next to the boulder, his tongue sticking out and gasping for air.
Karin was lying on the ground, looking sleepy. In addition to being able to repair one's injuries by biting Karin, one could also replenish one's physical strength.
While they were running away, Su Xiao bit her back again, and Bubtny bit her calf.
Amu also wanted to bite her to keep up with the others, but given his terrifying 85 points of stamina, Su Xiao didn't let him bite Karin, as she might very well die.
— Water~, " Karin said weakly and raised her hand, and Su Xiao threw her a bottle of water. Karin tried to unscrew the bottle cap, but her hands were weak and she had to use all her strength to unscrew it.
Karin felt bitter. After joining Su Xiao's group, she went from being full of a girl's energy to a sleepy something that constantly wanted to sleep.
Hearing someone snoring, Karin looked sideways and saw the recently rescued Akatsuki member.
Deidara fell asleep immediately after being rescued. Perhaps he didn't even realize that he had been saved.
Although his physical fitness was better than that of ordinary people, due to the lack of sleep for such a long time, he was no longer able to function properly, and because he was constantly doused with cold water, he eventually fell ill and now his whole body was turning icy, then hot as hell.
Deidara won't be able to wake up anytime soon. Even though Su Xiao slapped his face a few times and it ended up swollen up, he still continued to sleep soundly.
Once Deidara wakes up, Su Xiao will be able to get rid of the forces of Hidden Stone Village chasing them. The only thing that puzzled him was how exactly Hidden Stone Village managed to determine their location.
Su Xiao covered his tracks all the way, but the Hidden Stone Village forces still managed to follow them, which made Su Xiao very confused.
At first, Su Xiao thought that something had been done to Deidara, but neither Karin nor Zetsu found anything strange about him.
Bubtni was generally unharmed, while nothing suspicious was found in Amu's body.
As for Su Xiao, Karin and Zetsu were unable to test him due to Qing Gang Yin's too aggressive energy.
In the end, Su Xiao used it to check his body, but he didn't find any abnormalities.
After checking his clothes and weapons, he didn't find anything either.
After that, Su Xiao checked everyone himself, including Bubtni and Deidara, but he couldn't find anything.
None of them were marked, but Hidden Stone Village still managed to follow them no matter what they did or how they went.
Because of this, they couldn't stay in one place for long, as the shinobi of Hidden Stone Village might very well be able to catch up to them.
Su Xiao, sitting on the boulder, thought about it. Most likely, it wasn't because any of them were marked, but because there was a shinobi among the pursuers who was very good at tracking the right targets.
Just as Su Xiao was thinking this, a plant grew in the desert and a clone of the White Zetsu emerged from it.
— They sped up and noticed me, " he said with obvious malice and a smile appeared on his face.
