Hyuga Neji kept scanning the surrounding environment with his white eyes. While avoiding Gaara's tracking behind him with Shikamaru, he paid closer attention to see if any enemies appeared, and then safely bypassed them.
Or maybe Gaara's remaining sanity made him understand that using Shukaku's full power would not benefit him at all, and Shikamaru would deliberately slow down from time to time to allow Gaara to attack him and Hinata Neji.
Attack, giving Gaara the illusion that he will catch up with Shikamaru and Hinata Neji immediately. Because of this, this pursuit has been going on for a while. Fortunately, the war has been ignited in Konoha Village at this time, and everywhere
There were explosions and shouts of fighting. Although Gaara would cause some damage along the way, it didn't attract too many people's attention.
Just as Shikamaru and Hinata Neji were running away from Gaara, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance, like an earthquake. The surrounding houses even groaned, and the windows kept shaking and trembling.
.
Shikamaru held onto the wall and barely stabilized his body. Then his heart moved and he quickly asked Hinata Neji, who was also in shock next to him: "What's going on!?"
When Hyuga Neji heard this, he had the same doubts in his heart. He quickly used his Byakugan to look into the distance. After observing for a moment, his pupils suddenly shrank rapidly. He frowned and said to himself: "What a huge chakra!"
Hinata Neji looked carefully for a few more times, and then said to Shikamaru with a look of shock on his face: "About a thousand meters in front of us, there seems to be an extremely huge three-headed snake and a frog of the same size.
fighting."
"That frog and snake are really too big!" Hinata Neji added: "The vibrations and sounds just seemed to be made when these two monsters were fighting."
Shikamaru was slightly startled when he heard Hyuga Neji's words, but he immediately reacted and was secretly happy. He quickly said to Hyuga Neji: "Let's go there quickly!"
Hyuga Neji saw Gaara launching another attack behind him, flying across from a distance like a cannonball. He quickly dodged with Shikamaru and ran towards the direction of the giant frog and snake. At the same time, he asked Shikamaru loudly.
:"Why did we go there!?"
"That's a psychic beast." Shikamaru replied to Hinata Neji without looking back: "These two giant beasts are fighting, which means that one of them must be standing in Konoha Village, and can sign a contract with such a giant beast.
To sign a psychic contract and summon such a giant beast in battle, he must be a powerful ninja."
"He should be able to help us get rid of Gaara." Shikamaru continued.
After hearing this, Hinata Neji nodded in agreement after thinking for a moment. If there were really a powerful jounin, he would naturally be more capable of dealing with Gaara than the two genin.
After a while, Shikamaru, who was paying attention to Gaara's attacks and avoiding Suna Ninja and Sound Ninja along the way, finally saw the huge figures of two monsters fighting, which should be the giant frog summoned by Jiraiya.
Carrying two swords on his back, he was facing off against a huge snake with three heads.
Far away from the two giant beasts, there were still many ninjas fighting, and the sound of fighting was endless.
When Shikamaru and Hyuga Neji saw this, they couldn't help but quicken their pace. Gaara behind them had already worn away his remaining patience during the long pursuit, and he became more and more violent. If he suddenly suddenly
It was no surprise to Shikamaru that Shukaku had completely transformed.
Standing in a tall building, Hiki Mori looked extremely eye-catching. His dark windbreaker rustled in the wind, and his face covered with scars had an awe-inspiring look, which was intimidating. He was not with his companions at this time.
The reason for going to fight is very simple. His mission is to assign tasks and command Konoha ninjas to fight. He is not known for his combat ability. On the contrary, interrogation and command are his strengths. His combat effectiveness alone has no influence on the overall situation.
However, when he calmly observed the enemy's formation to find weaknesses, and then instructed the Konoha ninjas to attack the weak points, he achieved significant results for Konoha.
At this moment, Konoha's ninjas have gained the upper hand and have scattered the Suna ninja brigade. They are divided into several small teams to resist under the cutting and encirclement of Konoha ninjas. The outcome of this battlefield is a foregone conclusion - from now on.
Judging from the momentum.
But when Nara Shikamaru and Hyuga Neji came to the field with Gaara who could tell at a glance that there was nothing normal behind them, Morino Ihiki's glacier-like expression finally collapsed and was replaced by astonishment.
Shikamaru also had a look of astonishment on his face. He had never seen Jiraiya in person, but judging from the image in the original work, it was not difficult to recognize him. Moreover, with Jiraiya's strength, if he joined this group at this time,
This battlefield must be invincible and extremely conspicuous, but when Shikamaru looked around and quickly took in the battlefield situation, he did not find the elder with long white hair and red clogs.
"I am followed by the humanoid weapon of Sunagakure Village, we must lead him outside the village!" Shikamaru's mind was racing, and he kept thinking based on the situation on the scene. At the same time, he also compared Morino who was looking at him and Hyuga Neji.
roared happily.
Although Jiraiya's presence here was beyond Shikamaru's expectations, it didn't leave him helpless. After all, in order to deal with Gaara, he had already prepared many trump cards. He hasn't revealed them all yet, and he still has a chance to win.
other side.
Some people tremble in fear and are helpless when faced with dangerous situations, while some people are often inspired to develop deeper potential. Shikamaru obviously belongs to the latter group. When he discovered the situation at the scene, he had already quickly thought of a plan.
Although Jiraiya is not here, there is still a giant frog that can be used as a boost. The three-headed giant snake is very fierce, but it is obviously not the opponent of the giant frog. In this short moment, accompanied by a loud noise, the two monsters staggered each other.
, one of the heads of the giant snake has been chopped off.
As for the other Konoha ninjas, it is obvious that they cannot help Shikamaru at this time. Konoha has the upper hand in the field, but it does not have an absolute advantage and cannot dispatch more manpower. Otherwise, the battle situation is likely to be reversed by the Suna ninja and deal with Shukaku.
One or two people might not be enough for their strength. After all, unlike Shikamaru, they were prepared and relied on for this kind of situation.
"Jinchūriki!?" Morino Ihiki heard Shikamaru's words. After seeing Gaara's image, his eyes flashed and his brows furrowed deeply. At this time, Gaara had not completely transformed into a tailed beast. If he really
If it becomes a complete body, not only the situation of the battle will be reversed, but the surrounding Konoha buildings will also be completely destroyed, causing immeasurable losses.
