Chapter 72 [You Talk Too Much]
"Have the enemies been dealt with?" Captain Yamato arrived late.
Whether it was the barrier technique or the sealing technique, his attainments were not as good as Rock's, and he did not seize the fleeting opportunity.
So he could only stand outside the barrier and wait.
Yamato sighed slightly in his heart. This time Asuma was really careless. He and Rock were protecting according to the standard Anbu protection distance.
Asuma stepped into the opponent's preset barrier technique this time. It can only be said that Asuma was too careless.
Should I let the Third Hokage teach his son, how could he be hit by the enemy's barrier technique like this? It's too outrageous.
"Ahem..." Asuma finally woke up after being treated by Rock.
He looked up and saw the trees all over the ground, and then he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately it's you..."
In front of Wood Release, the number of ninjas is not very important. With the ability to absorb chakra, weak ninjas are just medical kits to replenish chakra. If their strength is not enough to serve as "shadow", it will be difficult to get rid of the control of Wood Release.
The arrival of Wood Release Ninja Rock made Asuma feel a little safe.
"Thank you so much this time..."
"Thank your disciples first..." Rock said in a deep voice. He was not very satisfied with being trapped outside the barrier this time: "If it weren't for your disciples causing the barrier to have a flaw, I'm afraid you would have died when I broke in."
"Is it Shikamaru..."
"No, it's not me." Shikamaru was a little ashamed: "It's Ino."
"That's really unexpected... It seems that I don't know enough about my disciples..." Asuma panted, with a guilty expression.
He glanced at Ino.
Being able to control a ninja stronger than herself at this age, even for just a moment, shows how strong Ino's mental will is.
Asuma's eyes stayed on the daffodil in Ino's hand for a moment.
Is this the source of inner strength?
...
"Sorry, although it's a bit of a spoiler to disturb you, master and apprentice, I still have to say-" Rock, who had temporarily cured Asuma, stood up.
"This mission, Team 10 has failed."
The scene was slightly quiet.
Asuma and Yamato were used to it, but the members of Team 10 couldn't say anything.
Their mission was to escort the goods, and the goods had just been destroyed.
"So next, the Anbu will temporarily take over the command of Team 10." Rock said.
"You have no right to refute."
He stood in the ruins caused by the trees, and his words were particularly convincing.
"Choji and Shikamaru are responsible for taking care of the senior ninja Asuma. Next, we will immediately take Asuma back to Konoha to recuperate."
"Tenzo is responsible for recovering the bodies of the dead ninjas."
These are all information, and they can't be thrown away.
"As for Ino..."
Rock walked slowly to Yamanaka Ino and placed his palm on her shoulder, like completing the sword-pointing shoulder of the knight's medal, as a reward for Ino's outstanding performance this time.
"You did a good job this time. You are already an excellent ninja."
In the sun, the daffodil and Ino's loose golden hair shone together.
...
In the distance.
"Hey! You actually let me go so far! If I don't get anything this time, I will definitely kill you!" A Kirigakure rebel ninja wearing a red cloud and black robe shouted wantonly.
Jaku did not respond, but just gave him a cold look.
"Uh... cut!" Kirigakure rebel ninja was a little unhappy, but didn't say anything.
Because he heard that his partner was a ninja who came back alive from the hands of the God of Ninja.
He is already an old and immortal old Deng.
It is said that he is very powerful.
He is a bit greedy. He saw a group of people aiming at the son of the Hokage at the gold exchange before. This old man actually wanted to come here to pick up the leak. He thought that when both sides were defeated, he would capture them all for the bounty.
There are so many things!
If I was not afraid that I could not match him, I would have killed him long ago.
The two of them hurried on in silence and hostility. After a while, they were getting closer and closer to the place where Rock and others were fighting.
Suddenly, Kakuzu seemed to see something!
His pupils shrank suddenly.
"Retreat! We are late."
He suddenly stopped rushing.
"The battle is over..."
"Huh?" The Kirigakure rebel laughed: "Don't tell me that you don't even have basic eyesight as a ninja."
"I can see it clearly. Asuma is already lying on the ground..."
There are only four little ghosts and two adult ninjas over there.
One of the adult ninjas was seriously injured and fell to the ground. With the strength of the two of them, it is not difficult to swallow this group of people directly.
"I said - retreat!" Kakuzu issued an unprecedentedly cautious warning.
"Heh... you guy..." The smile of the Kirigakure rebel ninja gradually faded: "Are you afraid of them?"
"Yes, although I heard that you fought with the God of Ninja, after all, no one has seen it!"
"Maybe it's you, old Deng, who made it up!"
"Every day you pretend to be like 'After the death of Hashirama Senju, everyone is garbage'."
"I have tolerated you for a long time-"
"Puff!"
A fist suddenly pierced through the heart of the Kirigakure rebel ninja!
Then, with a "thump!", his body fell to the ground.
"You're talking too much." Kakuzu said coldly.
He ignored the bodies of his teammates, but looked at Rock and others in the distance with an extremely cautious expression.
"Is this Wood Release..."
Kakuzu remembered that this place was not originally a lush forest, but a more barren rock wall.
What's more, there were several bodies hanging on the tree trunks in the distance.
Fortunately, he had Wood Release PTSD, and he saw the unusual scene at a glance.
Kakuzu sighed and turned around to leave, but suddenly he thought of something.
He turned back and threw a shuriken at a tree trunk.
Looking at the shuriken deeply inserted into the tree trunk, Kakuzu nodded seriously.
This can be regarded as a fight with this Wood Release ninja.
...
On the way back to the 10th team.
As a wounded person, Asuma silently looked at his students.
He was like a lonely old man, guarding the campfire alone.
"Are you three sitting too close to Rock?" Asuma said.
Shouldn't the Anbu sit together and the Ninja Class sit together?
Why are you all sitting so close to Rock?
"From an instinctive point of view, children who have just experienced a life-and-death crisis may want to feel more secure." Yamato said on the side.
Ino also added: "From the perspective of popularity, uncles like you are no longer popular."
She was very happy. Since she received Rock's praise, she felt that the burden in her heart was suddenly much lighter, which was exactly the opposite of when she came.
Of course, the most important thing is that she heard Yamato say that the Anbu members chose the protection targets for this mission.
Rock chose me, so he really has me in his heart!
She decided!
Go back and find Sakura immediately to show off!
