Chapter 574: Indirectly Killing a Partner
— Tsunade looked at the forest. She hesitated and didn't know if she should have participated in the battle in person, but after all, she was the Hokage of Konoha. Without proper preparations, she couldn't be too far away from the village, perhaps this was Akatsuki's plan and they wanted to get the tiger out of his mountain. — Kurenai Yuhi.
Kurenai Yuhi quickly approached Tsunade, and after Tsunade said a few words to her, Kurenai Yuhi, along with Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka, and Hinata Hugo, rushed into the forest.
Tsunade didn't move. She was Hokage and couldn't leave the village today. Personal feelings always had to be left behind when it came to protecting Konoha.
----
In the forest.
Su Xiao was jumping between the trees. He had more than a dozen Root members on his tail.
Since he had learned about this laboratory from Orochimaru, the first thing he did was prepare a retreat plan for himself, and only after that did he start doing research.
After Su Xiao hopped around in the trees for a while, he jumped to the ground and Bubtney immediately popped out of nowhere and caught Su Xiao.
Because of this, he sped up noticeably, but the Root members chasing after him weren't slow.
Soon, Su Xiao told Bubtney to slow down a bit. Looking back, he saw a couple of figures and immediately activated the alchemy bombs.
*BOOM!*
Several alchemy bombs exploded simultaneously.
But the Root members weren't weak — just a few ordinary alchemy bombs couldn't stop them.
Just a second after the explosion, a scream rang out. All the trees in the blast radius were riddled with holes, and some of them had iron balls vaguely visible.
The two Root shinobi were seriously injured and started to retreat.
The other Root shinobi faced a dilemma. Chasing after a strong enemy like this was a huge folly, but they couldn't disobey Danzo's order.
The sounds of explosions and screams began to resound one after another...
Twenty minutes later, the Root Shinobi decided to stop because there were only four combat-ready people left of their group.
— Wind, this is...
— Retreat, he was already prepared for this, there's no point in chasing him, I'll apologize to Mr. Danzo after I get back.
The Root members gave up their pursuit, but the Konoha anbu had only just begun to catch up with Su Xiao and had no intention of retreating.
Half an hour later, the Anbu shinobi also gave up. Catching up to Su Xiao was too difficult because of the traps. In the course of the chase, they set off at least dozens of traps. These traps were extremely dangerous and most of them could kill shinobi on the spot.
Some of them were poisonous, and the poison gave the Anbu a headache. After all, this poison belonged to Sasori.
Four hours later, Su Xiao was still sitting on Bubtni as he leisurely ran across the meadow. By this point, he was no longer being followed. All his traps somehow played an important role in his retreat.
Just as Su Xiao was about to leave Konoha's territory, Bubtney's ears suddenly pricked up.
— Woof.
— Someone's after us?
— Woof!
— How persistent.
After confirming the number and location of the pursuers, Bubtney rushed towards them.
The people who chased him for four hours were clearly not ordinary shinobi. If he didn't deal with these people, he would be caught up by Konoha's main force sooner or later.
Half a kilometer from Su Xiao, behind the slope.
— Hinata, is he still running away? Kurenai Yuhi knew the strength of her group, so she didn't rashly make contact with Su Xiao. Kakashi's tragic situation was still vivid in her mind.
He was still in the Konoha hospital.
— Just a moment, " Hinata replied. Right now, her brain was aching quite a bit. Continuously using the byakugan for four hours was very difficult even with her eyes closed periodically. "Byakugan," Hinata's blood vessels immediately bulged and her pupils turned white. Now her viewing angle was 360° and she could see everything within a one kilometer radius.
— No, it's coming towards us!
Kurenai Yuha's heart leapt. How did he know the location of her team?
But it was too late to think about it. Su Xiao was rushing towards her group at high speed.
*Whew~*
Su Xiao's figure appeared not far away from Kurenai Yuhi and her group, scanned them, and finally fixed his gaze on Hinata.
— Byakugan, then it's no wonder you were able to chase me all this time, " Su Xiao pulled out the Dragon Flash from its scabbard, and the blade of the sword was immediately engulfed by the energy of Qing Gang Yin. Without another word, he immediately rushed towards them.
These four people were his enemies. If he doesn't kill them, Konoha will chase him until his death.
In battle, Su Xiao never gave in to his opponents. If he saw an enemy, he would immediately attack them with full force, wanting to eliminate them immediately.
— Demonic Illusion: Tree-Bound Death, " Kurenai Yuhi stared at Su Xiao with her red eyes. She was a shinobi who specialized in illusions.
Su Xiao abruptly stopped moving.
— Akamaru, " Kiba Inuzuki shouted as the dog, his best friend, appeared beside him..
Kiba and Akamaru immediately rushed towards Su Xiao, spinning at high speed like they were tornadoes.
— Wait! Kurenai Yuhi shouted, she felt that something was wrong, for the feedback from her illusion was a bit strange.
But it was too late to stop.
Su Xiao's eyes flashed, and an energy shield appeared in front of him.
*Boom!*
The 200 mana energy shield was enough to block this duo, and after blocking their strike, Su Xiao immediately moved the shield to the side.
The blade of the sword flashed, and seeing that flash, Kiba Inuzuki felt dizzy.
*Pouf*
Akamaru was the first to be beheaded.
— Akamaru!!! Kiba Inuzuki's eyes widened. He couldn't believe it.
The facts proved many times that getting close to Su Xiao didn't end well.
Akamaru was killed with a single blow, and a moment later Su Xiao hit Kiba Inuzuki.
*A clang~!*
A large number of black beetles stopped his strike, and Su Xiao immediately threw an alchemy bomb at the cluster.
*BOOM!*
The bugs were blown apart, but Shino Aburame got the most out of it — Kiba Inuzuki survived, but that wasn't enough.
Su Xiao lunged forward.
— Mixed Beast — Man Transformation-Three-Headed Wolf-but it wasn't until the end that Kiba realized that his dog, Akamaru, was dead, and that more than 95% of his ninjutsu was now unusable.
This was the weakness of the Inuzuka family.
*Pouf*
The sword blade pierced through his body without resistance.
— A wave of chakra immediately burst out of Hinata's palm and flew into Su Xiao's chest.
An energy shield appeared on Su Xiao's chest and with a bang he was thrown back.
— Hinata's mouth was slightly parted, and her lips were trembling.
She had just indirectly killed an Inuzuki Kiba.
A terrifying wound had appeared between Kiba's chest and stomach, and several broken strange spikes could vaguely be seen in the wound.
As soon as Su Xiao stabbed the Dragon Flash blade into Kiba's body, he immediately activated the azure spikes. The moment they started to spread through Kiba's body, Hinata pushed him away and all those spikes flew out in all directions.
About seventy percent of Kiba's innards were destroyed.
Su Xiao swung the Dragon Flash, removing the blood from the blade.
