Five figures jumped between big trees extremely quickly.
The sound of swishing through the air, the thumping of feet, and the sound of swaying leaves came one after another.
Hinata Hizashi and Inuzuka Jaw were the first, Araki and Namikaze Minato were in the middle, Akimichi Choza followed at the end, and at the same time, he used his doubled-up giant palms to support Sara who was sitting on top.
At this time, Araki was experiencing this ninja's way of traveling with great interest.
It's fun to jump around.
According to their starfish habits, they should be walking or running on the ground.
If you are a person with a more violent personality, you may directly interrupt the trees blocking the road, just like a ferocious beast rampaging in the forest.
This is not surprising.
When many pirates explore the island, their postures are more ferocious than the beasts on the island.
at the same time.
Araki also noticed that since entering the Land of Fire, he found that the trees were unusually tall.
Each tree seems to be hundreds or even hundreds of years old. In comparison, the density and size of the previous trees in Kawa no Kuni were normal.
This kind of detail may not be noticeable to most people, but people with the Sensen Fruit ability are particularly sensitive in this regard.
Then recall the relevant information about Senju Hashirama.
Araki felt that the trees under his feet were probably created by the other party using Wood Release.
"If it's just this level, it seems to be about the same as me... Unfortunately, you are already dead, hahahaha——"
Araki laughed wildly in his heart.
He knew about the reincarnation of Hashirama, but he was not even afraid of Hashirama Senju in his lifetime, so how could he be afraid of Hashirama Hashirama, who was said to be weaker than before?
"What kind of wood escape, it doesn't even have the ability to transform into elements. My Sensen Fruit is the king of nature!"
In Araki's opinion, Senju Hashirama can defeat the Ninja world with Wood Release. He is called the "God of Ninja World", so he should be able to do it with his own strength.
Not to mention that the other party is already dead, this is how confident he dares to enter Konoha Village alone.
A certain intelligence advantage combined with strong strength.
Araki actually thought about it, rather than being completely impulsive.
Of course, he really didn't think clearly about pretending to be Senju Hashirama. After all, Namikaze Minato's question was too sudden and he only had a few seconds to think about it.
But Araki didn't care whether his lies would be exposed.
Just let Namikaze Minato and the others take them to Konoha Village.
no way.
Who makes him not like Crocodile who can turn into sand and fly from high altitude?
certainly.
Araki can also fly on the moon step or escape from the depths of the earth through elemental transformation, but how can these be as comfortable as having someone invite him to your home?
"Sir, Shodaime Hokage, I saw the Konoha ninjas one kilometer ahead. They should be coming to greet your team."
At this time, Hinata Hizashi in front suddenly spoke.
"Not bad, not bad. It seems that the Sandaime Hokage is nice and enthusiastic enough, hahaha!"
Araki swept over with his aura of seeing and hearing, and as expected, he sensed a hundred auras with no murderous intent, no hiding, and a very reassuring position.
This made the smile on his face brighter. It seemed that his identity was not exposed.
"That's natural, Shodaime Hokage-sama."
Namikaze Minato followed Araki, smiling and softly agreeing, but he was already sure in his heart that the other person was not the First Hokage.
the other side.
Sara, who was originally sitting cross-legged on Akimichi Teiza's big hand, stood up slowly with a complex expression.
In the end, she did not tell Namikaze Minato and others about the World Government.
Because the world government's rescue of Loulan happened not long ago, and she witnessed it with her own eyes and experienced it personally.
The wave of emotions from despair to being rescued is still fresh in my memory.
In comparison, the fact that Minister An Lushan rebelled and was defeated by the Konoha ninjas was completely known from the people's mouths because the memory was sealed.
So Sara still obeyed her heart, not wanting to be a white-eyed wolf and betraying the World Government, but she also prayed for the safety of Konoha in her heart.
This is the only thing a weak woman can do.
at the same time.
The distance of less than one kilometer may be too exaggerated to describe them as being at least a Jonin level expert.
But for a moment there were no problems.
Soon, the two parties met in a specially set aside forest clearing, and Nara Shikaku was the first to greet them with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, Minato, Hizashi, Jaw, and Dingza."
After saying hello to several familiar colleagues, Nara Shikaku looked at the extremely tall Araki with a very sincere, yet somewhat curious and respectful expression.
"This must be the First Hokage. It's a great honor to meet you here!"
"I am the current leader of the Nara clan, Nara Shikaku, who is also the person in charge of escorting you to Konoha Village on the orders of the Sandaime Hokage."
When Araki saw this, he immediately raised his head and laughed: "Hahahaha, let's go now, I can't wait to see Konoha!"
At the same time, he began to recall general information about the Nara clan in his mind, and thought to himself: "Is there a secret technique of controlling shadows to control other people's bodies? It's interesting..."
"OK."
Nara Shikaku nodded respectfully, but his eyes turned to Sara who had just jumped out of Akimichi Choza's hand.
"This should be Her Majesty the Queen of Loulan Kingdom. Since you do not have the ability to be a ninja, we have prepared a sedan here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a chuunin from the Sarutobi clan came up from behind and led the somewhat uneasy Sara away slowly...
Namikaze Minato breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
"Then let's set off..."
Nara Shikaku smiled at the eager Araki, then shouted the word "formation" to the surrounding ninjas, and at the same time quickly jumped towards a big tree in front.
"Um?"
Araki still doesn't understand what forming a formation means.
Just seeing Nara Shikaku starting to move, I subconsciously raised my feet to follow him, thinking that I would be jumping up and down the tree again next.
But who would have thought that the soles of his feet would be stuck to the ground covered with layers of fallen leaves.
This made him look down in confusion. When he saw the dense black text spreading up from his ankles, a series of neat shouts suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Ninja Technique. Shadow Imitation Technique!"
The next moment, black shadows shot out from all directions like arrows sticking to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, they successfully connected under Araki, who seemed unable to move.
at once.
Everyone saw Araki's body frozen in place, and the black words that initially spread up were also covered all over his body.
"call----"
Nara Shikaku, who was also performing secret techniques on the big tree in the distance, let out a long breath when he saw this scene, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
"tactical success!"
As these words came out of his mouth, the surrounding Konoha ninjas also beamed with joy.
No one expected that the process would go so smoothly.
The binding technique improved into a formation combined with the shadow imitation technique of ten Nara clansmen, I believe that no matter how strong the opponent is, they will not be able to move a finger.
"What's happening here?"
Akimichi Dingza and Inuzuka Jaw were a little confused about this situation, while Hinata Hizashi was thoughtful and at the same time distanced himself from Araki.
"This person is fake, not the First Hokage, you should stay away from him first!"
Nara Shikaku shouted to the two of them, and then turned to look at Yamanaka Haiichi who was standing next to him.
"I'll leave it to you next."
"good!"
Yamanaka Hai had already prepared the starting movements of his secret technique early in the morning, pointed the hand gestures in a circle at the Araki below, and shouted: "Ninja Technique. Heart Turning Technique!"
