Naruto: I'm Not a Pokémon

Chapter 435: Retreat

Faced with the huge wind bomb that suddenly shot out from the smoke and dust, the two people who were already sprinting had no time to dodge, let alone cast hand seals to perform defensive ninjutsu.

At this critical moment.

Hozuki Mangetsu subconsciously rushed sideways, blocked Ringo Ameyuri, and hugged her in his arms.

It's not that he wants to sacrifice himself for his teammates at critical moments.

At the moment when the wind bomb was about to hit the two of them, Hozuki Mangetsu immediately activated his Hydrification Jutsu.

"Bang~"

The terrifying giant wind bomb hit Hozuki Mangetsu's back without reservation.

In an instant, his body was completely broken up and turned into a ball of sticky water, which was tightly wrapped around Ringo Ameyuri.

The fine iron sand contained in the wind bombs also shot into the body of Hozuki Mangetsu one by one.

Immediately afterwards, the strong wind continued to blow.

Ringo Ameyuri and Hozuki Mangetsu were also blasted away.

A wide drag mark was blasted out on the grass and soil on the ground.

The two people who originally had the upper hand were unexpectedly blasted more than ten meters away by this blow, and hit hard on a thick tree trunk.

"Cough~"

Ringo Ameyuri, whose back hit the tree trunk, coughed up a large mouthful of blood.

The bright red blood instantly merged into the body of Hozuki Mangetsu, who was still in a semi-hydrification state.

However, this violent collision was not her most serious injury.

Although Hozuki Mangetsu blocked most of the attacks for her.

But Hozuki Mangetsu's body in a hydrification state can only be considered a flexible defense after all.

At best, he can only ensure that he himself is not injured by this kind of physical damage.

A lot of those tiny iron sand still passed through Hozuki Mangetsu and shot into Ringo Ameyuri's body.

At first glance, the wounds caused by the iron sand are not very deep.

But if they look closely, they will find that all the injured areas have begun to turn faintly black and purple.

Obviously, the toxins contained in the iron sand are very powerful.

But at the moment, the two of them didn't have time to pay attention to such trivial matters.

The enemy on the opposite side has launched a follow-up supply again.

Since the sand boat had been blown up, Reki immediately used chakra threads to reconnect the remains of Puppet No. 1 scattered on the ground.

One after another, extremely sharp blades shot towards the two of them.

Similarly, the roll of white cloth in Kana's hand also unfolded rapidly again, winding towards the two of them from another direction.

Under the attack from both sides.

Hozuki Mangetsu, who was in a better condition, acted decisively and drew out his short sword.

He held a short sword in one hand and a flagpole in the other.

He quickly rushed towards the puppet blade which posed a greater threat to the two of them.

Ringo Ameyuri, who stayed where she was, took a deep breath, clenched her swords, and forced herself to stand up to deal with the oncoming white cloth roll.

"Two Swords Style: Seventy-two Winds of Trouble!"

Ringo Ameyuri, holding two swords, instantly turned into a spinning top and used the most powerful move her sensei taught her.

The sharp blade kept dancing in the air, and the slash alone created a violent blade tornado.

The originally imposing white cloth roll was instantly cut off, turning into pieces of tattered cloth scattered all over the ground.

However, after landing again, Ringo Ameyuri staggered.

She coughed up a large mouthful of blood again.

If they look closely, they can see that the blood coughed up this time has a faint purple-black tint.

Fortunately, it happened at this moment.

Kabuto's figure actually rushed out from the dense forest behind the two Sunagakure ninjas.

As soon as he appeared, Kabuto swung his arm and threw the huge black shuriken in his hand at Reki and Kana.

It's just that Kabuto doesn't seem to be very proficient in the shuriken throwing technique.

The two of them just slightly turned sideways and easily avoided the attack.

"Tsk~"

A hint of disdain flashed in Reki's eyes.

But the next moment.

With a "bang".

The giant shuriken that just passed by the two of them suddenly burst into a cloud of white smoke and turned into a human shape.

In mid-air, Kabuto appeared in front of the two of them with classic fighting methods, and his hands had already completed seals.

"Ninjutsu: Flash!"

With a slight buzzing sound, a dazzling white light instantly burst out from between Kabuto's hands.

Because of his sudden appearance, the two Sunagakure ninjas, whose eyes were all focused on him, were immediately blinded by the sudden strong light.

They screamed in pain and flew backwards quickly to keep some distance from the enemy.

However, Kabuto, who had created a great opportunity to pursue with the help of 'Flash', did not choose to attack the two.

He just threw out a few shurikens casually and flew backwards.

He came to the side of Ringo Ameyuri and Hozuki Mangetsu.

And the shurikens he threw out really didn't cause any damage.

A gust of wind blew past, easily blowing away all the shurikens, and even the water clone that Kabuto left behind was dispersed.

Soon after, Maki also arrived and protected her teammates.

Just now.

Kabuto has been fighting with Maki in the dense forest by relying on the terrain.

Originally, two water clones were released with the help of the cover of trees.

One clone rushed towards Maki to pretend to cover him, while the other clone pretended to escape and led Maki away.

His real body is hidden behind the tree.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the short time difference to return here and quickly deal with the two enemies here with his two teammates by outnumbering them.

Unexpectedly, when Kabuto arrived, his teammates had already fallen into a complete disadvantage.

As a last resort, he had to launch a hasty sneak attack.

Now he saw that Maki was not fooled by him for long, and even caught up with him at a faster speed.

Without saying a word, Kabuto immediately ordered a retreat.

"Withdraw!"

Hozuki Mangetsu also knew that the chances of winning if he continued to fight with the opponent at this time were uncertain.

He immediately followed the order and embraced Ringo Ameyuri, who was already a little unsteady on her feet, and quickly retreated.

When Maki saw that Kabuto and his two companions were preparing to evacuate, she naturally did not want to miss this great opportunity to eliminate the enemy.

Moreover, when they were in the forest just now, the enemy Kabuto was not only cunning, but also slippery and ruthless when running.

He did not show any extraordinary skills.

Instead, he was frequently injured by his own ninjutsu.

So at this moment, even though his two teammates were still temporarily blinded, they were unable to pursue.

Maki was not afraid at all and quickly chased after the three people who were fleeing in a panic.

However, when he saw Maki chasing after him, a hint of ruthlessness that was inconsistent with his age flashed in Kabuto's eyes.

They saw that the veins on Kabuto's right arm suddenly bulged and his skin turned red.

A stream of light blue chakra that was invisible to the naked eye instantly wrapped around the fist.

The next moment.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Kabuto, who was originally retreating, bent down and punched the ground beneath his feet.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar.

The invisible force, centered on the fist, spread wildly around.

The earth shook violently, and huge cracks expanded rapidly like ferocious giant mouths.

The impact force was far more powerful than ordinary earth-style ninjutsu, and it exploded instantly.

Earth and rocks flew everywhere, and smoke and dust billowed.

The huge rocks flying everywhere made Maki immediately give up the idea of pursuit and fly back quickly.

Wait until the smoke clears.

At their original location, there was no trace of Kabuto and the other two.
