Chapter 124: Interception (please subscribe!)

The carriage sped along the road, stirring up smoke and dust.

After receiving the news of the attack on the Sealed Land, the convoy rushed towards the Kingdom of Ghosts almost day and night.

Swish swish swish.

A group of Konoha ninjas shuttled through the trees, following closely behind the convoy.

Looking at the solemn-looking guards of the Kingdom of Ghosts who were guarding the carriage on horseback, Yuhi Hong asked: "What exactly is sealed in that sealed place?"

Asuma said: "It is said to be a monster named 'Sprite' that once caused a bloody storm in the ninja world."

Yamashiro Aoba was a little confused: "A monster? Why would someone want to release such a thing?"

Asuma shook his head.

Regarding this issue, he privately asked the leader of the Ghost Country.

But the other party just told him that the person who attacked the sealed place was probably a wandering ninja organization called the 'Yellow Spring Sect'.

As for why the Underworld Sect released the monster, what exactly is the monster "Sprite", and why can only the witch from the Kingdom of Ghosts seal it? Waiting for these questions, the leader of the Kingdom of Ghosts began to remain silent.

Asma warned the people around her: "In short, this mission is not easy, you must be careful!"

Several people nodded.

Then, Yuhi Hong glanced at Shinji and the others on the other side and said, "Is it appropriate to continue taking these brats with me?"

Asuma chuckled: "Don't underestimate those brats!"

Yamashiro Aoba said: "Captain, you are talking about that Uchiha Sasuke, right? There is a rumor in the village that he subdued the rampaging Kyuubi. It is really unbelievable!"

Yuhi Hong echoed and said: "How could a monster like Kyuubi be subdued by such a brat? There must be some misunderstanding here!"

Asuma shook his head and said: "No, I am referring to the four of them! Except for Uchiha Sasuke, the other three brats cannot be underestimated."

Yuhi Hong was a little surprised.

She knew that people like Asuma who had high self-esteem would not praise others casually. Even the third generation could not suppress Asuma's temper back then, so she looked at Shinji and the others again and asked curiously

: "How many of them are very strong? Like Kakashi back then?"

Asuma nodded lightly: "Yes, just like Kakashi back then! Uchiha Sasuke is only seven years old this year, and he has already learned the 'Shadow Clone Technique'. With the cooperation of others, he killed at least one person.

A powerful enemy who is a special jounin. And Uchiha Shinji single-handedly defeated a powerful enemy who was at least a special jounin. Don’t you think such a brat is worth paying attention to?"

"The geniuses of the Uchiha family are really endless!"

Yamashiro Aoba sighed, his tone a bit sour.

During his growth, he experienced the rise of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, and now he is witnessing the rise of Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Shinji.

"No matter what, we have to protect those brats." After a pause, Asuma whispered: "At least we must ensure the safety of Uchiha Sasuke."

"Understood!"

Everyone around him nodded.

the other side.

Shinji and several students from the Ninja School were also walking through the trees like Asuma and the others.

Neji, who looked around with his white eyes from time to time, suddenly said to several people: "What kind of monster do you think that 'monster' is?"

"Ah!"

Sasuke chuckled lightly.

Shinji glanced at Sasuke.

Kimimaro also looked over.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Sasuke raised the corner of his mouth and said: "I don't know what you are worried about? No matter how terrifying that monster is, can it be more terrifying than the Kyuubi? Even the Kyuubi was defeated by my pair.

Sharingan, right now, it’s not easy to deal with a mere monster!”

Neji was stunned for a moment. He was a little nervous when he heard that the sealed monsters in the Kingdom of Demons had escaped. Now when he heard what Sasuke said, he suddenly felt that it made sense.

As powerful as the Fourth Hokage, they all died on the night of the Nine-Tails Rebellion, so in his mind, the Nine-Tails should be the most terrifying monster in the world.

Sasuke can even subdue the Nine-Tails, so he should have no problem dealing with the monster called the 'Sprite' from the Kingdom of Demons.

Sasuke continued: "Shion doesn't even know a few ninjutsu. It's too reluctant to let her deal with monsters. When the time comes, I'll do it!"

Kimimaro looked at Sasuke deeply, then turned his head back.

For some reason, even he was infected by Sasuke's confidence, and the depression in his heart was relieved a lot.

Seeing that no one said a word, Sasuke felt a little proud.

Then, he glanced at the thoughtful Shinji and said: "Shinji, your medical ninjutsu is indeed amazing, but this time I will let you understand that our Uchiha clan is based on the Sharingan in the ninja world.

What on earth is it! You will know later that with our two bloodlines, just tapping the power of the Sharingan is enough to solve all problems!"

Shinji, who was busy integrating the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, responded with: "Yes, yes, yes"

The team galloped all the way, changing horses continuously at the inn. In just two days, they left the Kingdom of Fire and entered the Kingdom of Rain.

The team then continued all the way, passing through the Country of Rain, the Country of Birds, and finally arrived at the Country of Bears, which is adjacent to the Country of Ghosts.

The terrain of the Bear Country was very rugged, and the team was forced to slow down.

Fortunately, the Kingdom of Ghosts is already in sight, so everyone is not too anxious.

After a long time, the team marched outside a canyon.

Looking at the steep rock walls on both sides, Asma frowned slightly and stopped the team.

The leader of the Ghost Country rushed over: "Mr. Asma, what happened? Why did you ask everyone to stop?"

Asma pointed ahead: "There's something wrong with the terrain here, let me check it out first!"

The leader of the Ghost Country smiled helplessly: "Mr. Asma, you don't know something. The side of the Bear Country close to the Ghost Country is full of these steep canyons. If we stop and investigate every place, we are only afraid of one

I can’t return to the land of ghosts even after a month.”

Asma said: "But here."

"Please forgive me, we must rush back to the Kingdom of Ghosts immediately, otherwise, the Kingdom of Ghosts will be devastated!"

The leader of the Demon Country directly interrupted Asuma and bowed deeply towards Asma.

Asuma sighed, his eyes filled with confusion.

Yuhi Hong was a little puzzled: "Although it is inappropriate to enter such a canyon rashly, as long as we are careful, it should be fine. What are you worried about?"

After hesitating for a while, Asma finally said: "Forget it, let's go!"

soon.

The team entered the canyon.

Looking at the steep cliffs on both sides, Shinji said to Neci: "This place is perfect for an ambush. Ningji, please check the cliffs on both sides!"

Neji nodded, opened his Byakugan, and observed the cliffs on both sides.

Sasuke and Kimimaro also became alert.

In this way, the team was proceeding in the canyon, with the ninja crows raised by Aoba of Yamashiro hovering in the sky, and Neji's Byakugan observing the team.

After arriving at the middle of the canyon smoothly, the team that had been keeping tight relaxed a little.

At this moment, a sad cry of a ninja crow suddenly came from the air.

Yamashiro Aoba looked up and saw his ninja crow falling from the air and falling on the top of a cliff. He was shocked: "Everyone, be careful!"

Neji, who had just closed his Byakugan to rest not long ago, quickly opened his eyes again and looked at the rock walls on both sides, only to see a faint chakra reaction in the gaps between the rock walls on both sides.

He didn't react at the first moment, and was stunned for a moment before he realized that the chakra reactions hidden in the rock peaks were probably detonating talismans, so he shouted a warning: "Be careful of the detonating talisman!"

Boom boom boom!

As soon as Ningji finished speaking, a series of explosions rang out from the rock walls on both sides!

During the earthquake and mountain tremors, pieces of rock collapsed and hit the team in the canyon.

Seeing this, Asma quickly formed a seal, pressed her hands on the ground, and shouted: "Earth escape, earth formation connecting walls!"

Wow

In an instant, earth walls rose from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, a solid earth fortress was built above the team.

Hiding in the dark earth fort, listening to the constant sound of falling boulders, everyone in the team was nervous, fearing that the boulders would collapse the earth fort.

Even Asuma, who was using Earth Escape, had a solemn look on his face at this moment.

After a while, the sound of falling boulders gradually stopped. After Asma signaled everyone to be alert, he released the Earth Escape.

As the earth wall disintegrated, everyone's vision broadened, and only then did everyone realize that although the collapsed boulders did not directly threaten them, they had also blocked the roads on both sides of the canyon.

The team trapped in the canyon seemed to be trapped in a huge pit at this moment.

At this time, a figure wearing the red cloud cloak of the Akatsuki organization appeared on the cliff.
