In mid-air, two figures sometimes overlapped and sometimes separated, engaging in extremely dangerous close combat.
The sharp blade cut through the air at high speed, causing bursts of ear-piercing screams. The clashing sounds of cold weapons sounded continuously without any pause.
The chakra contained in the weapons made each of their strikes full of power. Everything around them was like fragile porcelain, being mercilessly ravaged by both warring parties.
A cold light suddenly appeared, and the big tree that the three people hugged was cut off in an instant, and the cut was as smooth and flat as a mirror.
The kunai flew out, with a loud noise, and the boulder it hit was blown to pieces by the burning detonation talisman.
No one spoke. The battle was so fierce that any words were meaningless. There could only be one winner in this battle.
The winner lives, the loser dies.
The wind was blowing wildly, leaves were flying, and dust was filling the air. The battle became more intense as time went by, with both sides fighting to the death.
At this moment, the two ninjas only saw the figure of their opponent. Therefore, they did not notice that an uninvited guest took the opportunity to sneak up on them.
On the edge of the battlefield, in an inconspicuous bush.
Lei Luo squatted inside quietly, watching the battle with cold eyes.
As expected, the two fighting parties were a Mist ninja and a Konoha ninja. Due to the speed of both parties, he couldn't see clearly what they looked like, and could only judge their affiliation through their clothes.
The mist ninja held two kunai tightly in his palms, and he could point, stab, wipe, and slice...all kinds of moves were at his fingertips, and his attack range never left the enemy's vital points, showing his extremely high proficiency with short weapons. In addition, every shot was hit by
The kunai he threw caused huge explosions when they hit other objects. It can be seen that they were all tied with detonating charms.
The Konoha ninja wielded a three-foot-long sword, and the dense sword light flashed forward, backward, left, and right, forming a faint circle of light. While parrying and dodging, he was also looking for opportunities to counterattack.
After observing secretly for a moment, Lei Luo figured out some clues.
After fighting for so long, neither ninja has used any ninjutsu or genjutsu. They should both be taijutsu-type ninjas. Judging from their speed and destructive power, they are about the same strength as the jonin in the memory of their predecessors. And he is a chunin.
level, I'm afraid it's beyond my ability to intervene in a battle of this level.
Thinking of this, Lei Luo calmed down and quietly observed their battle. He compared the scenes in front of him with the memories of his predecessor to deepen his understanding of the fighting patterns between ninjas.
After looking at it for a while, Lei Luo frowned.
The situation on the field seems to be evenly matched, but if you look closely, you will find that the Konoha ninjas have more defense and less offense, and are temporarily at a disadvantage. If the battle continues to prolong, their situation will be worrying.
After all, it is a purely physical duel, without so many technical means and unexpected factors. The competition is about physical fitness and fighting skills. Strong is strong or weak. Even if the difference is only a little, as time goes by and the physical strength is lost, this trace of
The gap is also likely to widen rapidly.
The situation is not good and something must be done.
Lei Luo quickly looked around, and several mutilated corpses suddenly came into view. Looking at the clothes, there were some from Konoha and some from Kirigakure. There were about five or six corpses, distributed throughout the battlefield, and they died in various ways.
.
Obviously, a firefight between teams had just occurred here. Except for the two ninjas who were still fighting, everyone else died.
Lei Luo glanced at the things left everywhere with his eyes rolling. Except for some broken ninja tools, there seemed to be nothing else.
There seems to be nothing that can be used.
He rubbed his forehead and suddenly felt a little helpless.
A sneak attack? With his strength, the chance of success is slim.
Are you determined to help?
The worst outcome is that the two of them still can't beat each other.
The best result is to temporarily repel the opponent.
But his whereabouts are leaked, and he will most likely face the pursuit and interception of the Mist Ninja. Even if he gains a powerful teammate as a result, his chances of survival will probably be even slimmer.
After sighing softly and weighing the pros and cons again and again, Lei Luo gave up his plan to intervene in the battle.
Even if the dead Taoist friend is not dead, even if he directly becomes a glorious Konoha chuunin after time traveling, he has not inherited the "will of fire" from his predecessor, and abandoning his so-called "companions" will not cause him any psychological burden.
.
So...this Konoha ninja who has never met before, please wish yourself good luck.
Just when he was about to leave as quietly as he came, unexpectedly a faint whisper passed through his ears.
"Team, captain..."
Turning his head sharply, Lei Luo looked in the direction of the sound, but unexpectedly, he met a pair of wide, angry eyes.
"Be careful, there is another...enemy here!"
Ten meters away from Lei Luo, under a collapsed tree.
A mist ninja lay on the ground in a state of panic, half of a tree trunk pressing down on his thigh, making him unable to move.
Lei Luo's pupils shrank. He had noticed this guy before and thought he was a dead man, so he didn't take it to heart.
Don't blame him for being careless, it's really hard for people to think that this mist ninja is still alive because of his miserable state. Let's not talk about the large pool of blood under the opponent's body, but let's talk about the opponent's two arms: one disappeared completely, and the other was broken.
Make a 90-degree angle. In addition, the fog ninja's back also had obvious traces of being blasted by the detonating talisman, which was burnt black and had a faint smell of paste.
Lei Luo thought that even if he was injured to this extent, it would be difficult for him to survive. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, the pain and blood loss would make him faint quickly, so he didn't take this suspected corpse to heart.
superior.
Moreover, this guy had been lying quietly before, showing no signs of anything unusual.
What is this now? A fake corpse? A comeback?
The other party's voice was very weak, like a mosquito lingering.
But for the few ninjas who were still alive, it was like thunder from the sky.
"Bang!" "Chi!"
Two muffled sounds came out in no particular order, and after another fierce fight, the two people in the fierce battle retreated in unison.
The atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
Realizing that he had been exposed, after quickly analyzing the chances of a successful escape in his mind, Lei Luo simply stopped hiding and walked out of the bush calmly.
Only now did he see clearly what the two people looked like.
The one wearing a Konoha forehead protector is a young man with a sick look on his face. He is covering his chest with his left hand and holding a knife in his right hand. He is standing on the treetop panting. Even if the battle is temporarily suspended, he is still staring at him.
The opponent only glanced at Lei Luo from the corner of his eye from time to time, proving that he had noticed Lei Luo's existence.
The Mist Ninja was a middle-aged man with a gloomy look on his face. A scar extended from the corner of his eye to his chin. Blood slowly flowed out from his covered left arm. It was obvious that the blow just now caused him to be injured.
If you fight hard, Scarface will suffer the bigger loss.
Noticing the different states between the two, Lei Luo's eyes flashed and he secretly remembered this detail in his heart.
Scarface is obviously stronger, but why was the injury he sustained after the fight just now more serious than that of the Konoha ninja?
Was he eager to get away? Or was there something that occupied his attention, more important than the opponent he was fighting to the death? Was it the Mist ninja who had just spoken out?
interesting.
"Reinforcements from Konoha?" Scarface's expression was not very good. While he was wary of the two enemies in front of him, he was also secretly paying attention to the Mist Ninja who had just given him a reminder.
When he saw that his companion who had fallen under the tree was still breathing and looking at him with concerned eyes, Scarface let out a subtle sigh of relief.
Then, he deliberately grinned and smiled at Lei Luo. "There is only one person, are you here to die?"
This smile, combined with the scars on his face, looked completely ferocious and malicious.
"Looking at you, you must be a lucky person who escaped with your life, right? That wound... did you touch Loquat Juuzang?"
"How's it going? Doesn't it feel great?"
Scarface mocked Lei Luo unscrupulously, and at the same time secretly tensed up his nerves, guarding against Lei Luo's sudden outburst.
The wound caused by the decapitating sword is very iconic, and Scarface recognized it at a glance. This newly emerged Konoha ninja was able to escape with his life even when being injured by Loquat Juzo. His strength is probably not simple. Just now
Hiding, I'm afraid I'm looking for an opportunity to give myself a fatal blow.
Thinking of this, Scarface's fear of Lei Luo deepened. Even though Lei Luo seemed to be seriously injured, he still did not dare to be careless.
Lei Luo understood that the reason why Scarface made this judgment was probably because of the traces left on his clothes. Essentially, what the other party said was right, and he was too lazy to cover up anything.
Compared to Scarface's featureless trash talk, he obviously cares more about the other person's purpose of mocking him.
Are you trying to irritate yourself? Then draw yourself away?
With a playful smile on his lips, Lei Luo looked at the Mist Ninja who had revealed his whereabouts. "Your teammate seems to be dying, do you care?"
Scarface's heart tightened, but on the surface he pretended to be nonchalant and asked: "What does his life and death have to do with me? On the contrary, are you not worried about your own life at all?"
"With the injuries on your body, even if this guy is here." Scarface glanced at the sickly face standing aside and sneered, "You will definitely not be able to escape the encirclement of our mist ninjas, so surrender, like this you
At least you can save your life."
Hearing this, the sickly face who had been silent couldn't help but sneered, but still said nothing. The battle just consumed too much of his energy, and he must take advantage of this precious time to concentrate on recovering.
As for what Lei Luo would choose, he didn't care.
Will the Mist Ninja let go of the captured Konoha prisoners? Are you kidding me? Death is probably the best ending of all.
No one with a brain would choose to surrender, even if he didn't know Lei Luo, but because he was a member of Konoha, he also believed that this young companion would not be naive enough to believe what the enemy said.
What would Lei Luo choose?
There seems to be no need to answer this question, because it is Scarface's nonsense to delay time, and Lei Luo knows this very well.
Since the enemy fails to provoke and instead delays the fight, it means that the opponent does not want to fight. In other words, if he does not want to fight immediately, it is obvious that the opponent is considering something.
The guess in his heart was vaguely confirmed. In this way, Lei Luo would naturally not comply with the other party's wish, and he would speed up.
Lei Luo took another look at Scarface's facial expression. As expected, he couldn't see any flaws. Yes, he was very professional.
Giving up the verbal test, Lei Luo kept his face facing Scarface and slowly moved a step towards the location where the Mist Ninja was seriously injured.
This step seemed to have successfully stepped on Scarface's nerves.
I saw that the opponent's palm holding the kunai was slightly clenched, and there was a bit of fierce light on his ferocious face. He leaned his upper body forward and moved his left leg back slightly, vaguely assuming a posture ready to sprint.
Scarface's eyes instantly became firm and fierce, and Lei Luo realized that this guy might be desperate.
Without thinking any more, Lei Luo yelled: "Stop him!"
Before he finished speaking, he quickly transferred chakra to his feet, turned around, raised his legs, and ran, all in one movement.
Scarface saw Lei Luo's actions, and without any hesitation, he kicked the tree trunk hard and dived down towards Lei Luo from a high altitude.
On the side, Sick Face, who had been paying attention to the changes in the situation, made a quick judgment, raised his sword, and chased after Scar Face. A cold light flickered, slowly approaching Scar Face's back, seemingly slowly but quickly.
"Threat with hostages?"
While attacking, Sick Face thought this. He guessed Lei Luo's idea. Although it may not be successful, it is worth a try.
At this moment, a tense atmosphere filled the space between the three of them, and the air seemed to solidify.
Lei Luo is only ten meters away from the target. With his current body, he is confident that he will arrive within two seconds.
The straight-line distance between Scarface and Lei Luo is not short, about twenty or thirty meters. But with the help of gravity and his super speed, he is sure to reach Lei Luo within one second. This is because
He was afraid of Lei Luo's strength and feared that the boat would capsize in the gutter, otherwise he would rush faster.
The tip of Sick Face's knife was getting closer to Scar's vital part little by little. His clear mind and rich experience told him that if this troublesome enemy still maintained this action, the opponent would die in 0.5 seconds.
At this moment, the world seemed to have come to a standstill, and everyone was moving frame by frame like actors in slow motion in a movie.
Closer, closer...
Lei Luo's left hand slowly grabbed the Mist Ninja who fell on the ground. He could clearly see the other person's face covered in blood. This face was very young and looked quite handsome up close, but it was a pity that his face was full of hatred.
His eyes were hanging on it, looking unharmonious.
However, when these eyes moved behind him, a complex color flashed through them.
There is guilt, worry, and admiration in it.
What's behind?
Lei Luo didn't want to think about it. He just wanted to catch the bastard in front of him who had revealed his whereabouts as soon as possible, and then turned around and used this bastard to threaten Scarface to gain a chance for himself. He had already seen that this young mist
Forbearance is very important to Scarface, and catching him means taking the initiative.
A cold breeze blew through his hair, goosebumps crawled all over his neck, and the shadow of death instantly filled Lei Luo's heart, making him shudder.
The doubled mental power allowed Lei Luo to clearly feel all kinds of subtle feelings, but at this moment, he was not stingy with a kind of painful torture. He knew that Scarface was behind him, and the purpose was probably to stab him.
pierced his own neck, but it was too late for him to look back.
Do you want to let go? Do you want to hide?
Gritting his teeth and putting aside his unrealistic thoughts, Lei Luo's eyes flashed with a look of madness. Now, the only thing he hoped for was that the Konoha ninja could give him some strength.
Scar's face was expressionless as he watched Lei Luo continue to approach the front. Fine beads of sweat ran across his face at some point, and the kunai in his hand was trembling slightly.
Huge pressure wrapped around his heart from all directions, almost suffocating him. What brought him pressure was not only the fact that the Mist Ninja, who was Lei Luo's target, was in danger.
There was also a blade on his back that was slowly touching his body. If he insisted on stabbing out the kunai, he would die - that's what his intuition told him.
With a sickly face, he looked coldly at the enemy advancing forward. The long knife was firmly held in his hand, cutting through the air with a cold killing intent, cutting through the falling leaves, and cutting through the opponent's armor. Finally, the tip of the knife touched
When it reaches the skin, it brings out a bright red color.
The difficult and crazy enemy was finally coming to an end here - excitement and excitement surged in his heart. But thinking that Lei Luo, who was the opponent's target, was likely to die in battle. Pain, sadness and other emotions also arose. During this time
Everything condensed into one place, and all that was left was the naked murderous intention.
In a frozen period of time, the beliefs of several people in the field were intertwined and their thoughts were surging. What existed in this was not only a competition of strength, but also a duel of will.
Die together, or avoid the edge temporarily?
This momentary decision will determine the life or death of Lei Luo and Scarface.
