Chapter 49 Hunting(1/3)
"Where did these brats come from?"
In the dark and empty forest, a man was running away in a panic.
From the sound of running footsteps, you can hear that the man is running very fast.
He gritted his teeth bitterly, but at the same time he couldn't help but look back.
There was darkness in the depths of the forest, and there seemed to be a beast hiding in the darkness that had already opened its bloody mouth and was chasing after him and biting him.
The man swallowed hard, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, then he shook his head and ran faster.
Along the way, the man kept searching for large plants that could provide cover, hoping to use the complex natural environment in the forest to hide his figure.
Soon, he found a hiding spot, hid behind a tree, stopped escaping, and started breathing heavily behind the tree, his face pale.
The corner of his eye began to shift to the side and back, and he did not see the pursuer. He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was in a safe environment for the time being...
"Damn it, there's no way to go on like this. One of them seems to have a Byakugan... It's a waste of time to set up traps to delay the pace."
The man kept activating his brain and began to think about how to escape from the ninja with the Byakugan.
Although he defected to Sunagakure Village more than ten years ago, he was still a ninja who participated in the Third Ninja War, so he naturally knew how powerful the Byakugan was.
Nowadays, the ninja clan with Byakugan in the ninja world is divided into two family systems.
One is the Hyuga clan of Konoha, which is also the orthodox Hyuga clan recognized by the ninja world.
The other Hyuga clan with the Byakugan belongs to the new great nation of Oni. Although it is not the Hyuga orthodoxy recognized by the ninja world, it is still a powerful force that can rank among the upper class in the Oni country.
Its leader, Hyuga Ayane, is a powerful ninja comparable to the Five Kages. In this regard, even Konoha's Hyuga Orthodox would be ashamed to say so.
"Hinata from the Kingdom of Ghosts..."
The man was breathing low, trying to keep his presence as low as possible behind the trees.
At the same time, he took out the military food pills from his ninja bag and stuffed them into his mouth to take them.
His physical strength and chakra recovered a little, and the man's complexion also improved a lot.
But the crisis is not over yet.
He knew that once he was locked in position by Byakugan, it would be difficult to escape from Byakugan's pursuit.
In terms of search ability, it is much more powerful than the sensory ninjutsu used by sensory ninjas.
However, there are also disadvantages, that is, the search range of the Byakugan is not very far. Although the accuracy is more accurate than the Sensory Ninjutsu, the Byakugan's blind spot detection ability has a much narrower range than the Sensory Ninjutsu.
If you want to get rid of Byakugan's pursuit, you can only make good use of Byakugan, which is not a weakness.
As for why the country of ghosts sent ninjas to hunt him down, the man was completely confused.
It stands to reason that the Oni Country and bounty hunters like him, who have long since betrayed the Ninja Village, are basically on the same page.
The big shot behind the underground black market, when he had conflicts with the Kingdom of Ghosts in the past, he never had the idea of provoking the Kingdom of Ghosts.
As a member of Sunagakure, he knew very well how powerful and terrifying the military power of Sunagakure Village was.
The Kingdom of Oni, which can defeat Sunagakure from the front, has already surpassed the Kingdom of Wind in military strength.
Only fools and idiots, or those who are truly not afraid of death, will be bold enough to dare to confront a big country tit for tat.
Facts have proved that the underground black market has shrunk severely. Even the big shots behind them have no choice but to withdraw the black market forces in the western part of the mainland from the Kingdom of Ghosts to minimize conflicts with the Kingdom of Ghosts and avoid greater losses.
"Did I offend someone from the Kingdom of Ghosts during a certain bounty mission in the past?"
The man continued to speculate on this question.
If this problem is not solved, even if you can escape the pursuit of the ninja behind you this time, the Kingdom of Demons may send more powerful ninjas to hunt you down next time.
But as a man who has been wandering the underground black market for more than ten years and has not yet been arrested by the Sunagakure ANBU, he has always lived by the principle of being cautious and not causing trouble.
Once the bounty mission exceeds his ability, or if he wants to make enemies with some terrible forces, he will not accept it.
From this point of view, the Kingdom of Ghosts has no reason to keep an eye on him.
…
"The other party stopped."
The twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy with long black hair, the veins protruding next to his eyes, and his pure white pupils did not contain any impurities. After penetrating through layers of obstacles, he accurately found the place where the target was hiding.
"The chakra is very disordered, and the nerves seem to be tense."
On the side, a girl with long red hair, about twelve or thirteen years old, adjusted the red-rimmed glasses on her face. After releasing her sensory ninja, she could sense the chakra status of the target at this time. She could even sense it.
According to the fluctuation of the target's chakra, it is detected that the target's nervous system is in a state of tension and anxiety.
"After pursuing this level, the opponent's physical strength should be almost exhausted. Cai, please report his direction, distance, and the number of obstacles."
The boy wearing a monocle was older than the man and woman next to him. He took out a kunai from his ninja bag and played with it casually. Around his body, traces of electricity seeped from the atmosphere.
And out.
Especially the palm holding the kunai, the blue lightning flashed faintly, and then quickly disappeared.
"Well... the distance is 120 meters at 11 o'clock ahead. If we attack from Brother Asuka, there will be four trees blocking the road as obstacles."
Ai, who possesses the Byakugan, immediately reported the direction, distance, and obstacles on the way to the other party.
"Four trees, one hundred and twenty meters... In this case, we can't save chakra, and we are barely within my attack range."
Asuka muttered the information reported by Cai, a dense electric light suddenly gathered in his palm, and the air around him was also filled with densely packed tiny electric snakes, making a sound like an electric leak.
"Go ahead."
Asuka forcefully threw out the kunai in his hand, and the dazzling electric light flashed from the kunai. The kunai flew forward quickly and lost its trace in the blink of an eye.
I only saw a big tree not far away, with a bowl-sized hole cut out from the center. Through this hole, I could clearly see the scenery on the opposite side.
boom!
The sound of explosions on the ground.
Amidst this violent explosion, people's screams of pain were also heard.
"superior!"
Taking this scream as a signal, the three Asukas immediately used the teleportation technique, disappeared from the spot, and ran forward quickly to pursue the enemy.
The man hiding behind the tree rolled on the ground in a state of disgrace. The left side of his body was dripping with blood. There was a piece of flesh on his shoulder that looked like it had been cut out, and was bloody and bloody.
The paralysis caused by the electric current made the man move extremely slowly, and his left arm was completely disabled and could not be used.
Big beads of sweat kept flowing down his face, and his teeth were clenched together to hold back the pain and not scream again.
We can't stop here! The man thought to himself.
Being able to attack here from a distance proves that his position has been exposed.
Staying here is the only way to die.
He looked at the kunai that had blasted a crater on the ground in horror, and was leaning into the small explosion crater intact.
The man stood up and jumped, preparing to escape in the distance.
However, just as his front feet left the ground, a flash of light flashed past his side.
The sharp breath cut the skin on his face.
boom!
A large rock in front was blown to pieces.
What was inserted there was still a standard kunai that was completely black and reflected light.
Although the appearance is the same as an ordinary kunai, after such a terrifying energy burst out and the rock was blown to pieces, there was still no damage, so we knew that this was not a kunai made of ordinary materials.
The man's body rolled to the side, and the impact airflow generated by the explosion was a bit overwhelming for his body.
Blood was still flowing from his left arm. The blood loss was very serious. The man's lips had turned white, and the color of the skin on his face had begun to turn gray.
"Bagua·Empty Palm!"
The air flow was quickly compressed in the palm of the hand, and then launched out like a cannonball, hitting the man's body directly.
The man kicked off the ground and barely dodged the air cannon attack.
Flexible physical reflexes are reflected in him.
When Cai saw that the man had dodged her attack, she didn't pay attention. Instead, she leaned forward and concentrated chakra on her legs. The explosion was so fast that the man only saw an afterimage approaching her quickly.
It was too late! The man had just settled down and looked at Cai who was already close at hand, so he had to raise his still intact right arm and start blocking.
Poof!
The man's face was twisted, and a look of pain flashed in his eyes.
Cai's two fingers were like sharp blades, piercing directly into the man's arm.
