From the King of Fighters to Across the Heavens

Chapter 346 Dilemma
After half a day of traveling, they finally arrived at Sakura Mountain at the border of the Land of Fields and the Land of Fire.

After climbing over this steep mountain range, everyone will be able to escape smoothly.

"Everyone, hold on, we have to keep moving forward to prevent the enemy from catching up." Yamanaka Haiichi looked up at the mountains. Different from the bare stone mountains in the Land of Rocks, the vegetation here was lush and the scenery was beautiful.

However, no one was in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery. As Yamanaka Haiichi said, if the ninjas chasing in Kumogakure found something was wrong, they would probably chase them here immediately.

As a think tank, Nara Shikaku stood at the foot of the mountain and did not move. He always had a bad feeling. The trees here were towering and the roads opened were extremely narrow. If there was an ambush, it would probably be a fierce battle.

"Shikaku, what are you thinking about?" Akimichi Tingzao patted his friend's shoulder. It was rare that he didn't eat.

Nara Shikaku came back to his senses and put aside all the messy thoughts. He couldn't care about that much now. There was no turning back when he opened his bow. Even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire ahead, they had to get through it.

"Keep going!" Namikaze Minato waited for the investigating ninjas to come back and then gave the order to keep going.

There were several wounded in their team. They were moving at a speed that was not necessary to chase the troops. To stop was to commit suicide. The wounded had actively let the team go, not wanting to drag everyone back. However, Minato Namikaze refused righteously, and everyone had to be moved. Take them all back to the village.

Hatake Kakashi looked on with cold eyes. He suddenly recalled his father who committed suicide. The situation at that time was far less bad than it is now, and his father and the teacher made very similar choices, neither of them were willing to give up their companions.

If it leads to irreversible consequences, I don't know how Konoha's top management will judge, and whether the Sandaime-sama will protect the teacher.

"Hmph! It's really like Dr. Su said, a rotten village." Hatake Kakashi muttered in a voice that only he could hear.

"Kakashi, drink some water first." Rin Nohara handed the water bottle to Hatake Kakashi.

"Damn it!" Obito Uchiha not far away is admiring the beautiful scenery, the sky is as blue as washing, birds and flowers are fragrant, it would be great if he could live here with Rin Nohara.

Just when he was having a sweet dream, he found that the goddess actually talked to Kakashi Hatake and gave him a kettle.

Envy, jealousy, hatred, he wished he could take his place.

Little did he know that Nohara Rin had no other intentions. She simply felt that she would have to drive quickly and would not be able to drink water before reaching her destination, so she asked her companions to drink some water in advance.

Including Uchiha Obito.

Moved, he took the kettle handed over by Nohara Lin. He was about to raise his head and take a few sips when something suddenly occurred to him. He wiped the spout in disgust and took a sip of milk...

"Cough, cough..." Obito Uchiha drank so hard that he choked on the water and coughed.

"Fool!" Hatake Kakashi complained, heading towards the mountains ahead.

Uchiha Obito really wanted to refute a few words, but when he stopped coughing, Hatake Kakashi had already walked a long way.

"Let's catch up quickly!" Nohara Lin put away the kettle, she pulled up Uchiha Obito's sleeve, and the two of them ran towards the team.

As everyone in the team disappeared, a dark cloud happened to pass by in the sky, covering up the scorching sun.

The mountains under the shadow become a bit eerie and strange, like a devil that chooses people to eat, swallowing everyone into its belly.

... A wise man will surely make a mistake if he thinks a lot.

Nara Shikaku was too confident in his IQ. He did not expect that Kumogakure Village would be divided into two roads, and heavy troops were deployed on the road to Otogakure Village in advance.

Nara Shikaku is not the only smart person in the world. Because Kumogakure Village advocates physical skills and martial arts, he found that most people are very strong but have a single-minded mentality. Even the famous Raikage has this virtue.

Therefore, Nara Shikaku did not deal with it too complicatedly, and chose to attack in the east and west, turn back halfway, and head to the boundary of Otogakure Village.

The move did deceive the pursuing ninjas, but Cloud Hidden Village arranged an ambush seven days in advance on the only road that Otogakure Village must pass.

Maybe it wasn't about guessing Nara Shikaku's plan, but about taking precautions before they happened.

"Don't blame yourself too much. The situation now is much better than before. At least there is hope of escape." Seeing that the ninja responsible for the investigation had not returned, Namikaze Minato knew that something was more serious than the worst.

However, regardless of whether the route they took before was true or false, Cloud Hidden Village would definitely send some ninjas to intercept, so they had a chance to force their way through.

Nara Shikaku nodded. He knew that now was not the time to blame himself. He wanted to get over the current difficulties first.

"Haiyi is responsible for investigating the situation with me. Lu Jiu and Ding Zuo lead the team to stay alert. You three, be careful." Namikaze Minato glanced at the students, believing that after this mission, they will grow a lot.

In addition to being good at using mind-controlling ninjutsu, Yamanaka Hai also has the ability to probe other people's thoughts and obtain information.He has a relatively humble personality, but he is the idol of many intelligence ninjas in the ninja world.

Namikaze Minato's flying thunder body technique was superb. After he and Jiraiya went to Mt. Myoboku to practice, their strength improved to a higher level. Therefore, the two of them are the best candidates to detect information. At least they can escape in the event of an accident.

When Namikaze Minato and Yamanaka Kaiichi disappeared into the forest, Nara Shikaku immediately set up a cordon and used sensing ninjutsu to determine whether there was any danger around them.

Hatake Kakashi held a kunai in his hand and looked at the dense bushes around him with his eyes. He understood that there was a danger at this moment and he must act with caution.

Uchiha Obito didn't just look after the goddess at this time, and directly opened the Sharingan. The holder has extraordinary insight and can observe the flow of chakra. Although it has not yet evolved into a kaleidoscope, it is better than ordinary people's detection. a lot of.

In comparison, Nohara Lin looked much ordinary. She stood beside several injured ninjas, her dark brown pupils showing a bit of tenacity.

"The future is theirs." Nara Shikaku nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with the three people's calm appearance in the face of danger.

……

Leaf Village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in front of the window, white smoke constantly coming out of the pipe in his mouth. At this moment, his heart was heavy.

A few days ago, he received news from Namikaze Minato asking for help, and was ready to immediately send fifty jounin and one hundred chuunin to support, because this time Kumogakure had spent a lot of money, and there were at least 500 ninjas chasing them. .

Yunyin Village understands the value of this team,
However, Danzo stood up at this time and did not agree to send so many ninjas on the grounds of the safety of the village. He also said that Namikaze Minato was a frightened bird and that there were probably only a hundred people in Kumogakure Village. In the end, he delayed for a day before agreeing to send a team to support. .

But the prime time for support has already been missed, Hiruzaru Sarutobi doesn't know if Minakaze Minato and others can get out of trouble smoothly!
"Duanzo has been getting more and more excessive recently, it's time to give him a beating!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep tone.
