Chapter 86 Yagyu Chunin, Uchiha Sasuke Defects
The next afternoon, the third and eighth teams, who were not in a hurry to travel, took a rest on the way. After many days, they finally returned to Konoha.
However, before Yagyu disbanded on the spot and let the third and eighth teams go back to rest, he went to report the task to Tsunade alone. He saw the gatekeeper Chunin and said: “Yagyu Chunin, the Hokage ordered us to take the third and eighth teams to the Hokage’s office as soon as we see you come back.”
Yagyu Chunin?
Hearing the title of Chunin, the third and eighth teams raised their eyebrows, slightly surprised, but soon nodded.
With Yagyu’s strength, he should have been promoted to Chunin long ago.
With that kind of range of Wood Release, even if Yagyu becomes a jonin and an elite jonin, the third and eighth teams will not be surprised.
Yagyu was surprised. He paid more attention to Tsunade’s instructions than to being promoted to a chunin.
So, he nodded and smiled, “I know, thank you for your reminder.”
After registering, Yagyu brought the third and eighth teams to the Hokage building.
”Hokage, let’s go back…”
”You’re back just in time. There’s an urgent task for you.”
Yagyu pushed the door open and was about to say hello to Tsunade, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Tsunade’s voice.
Tsunade said with a serious face: “Last night, Uchiha Sasuke was deceived or kidnapped by Orochimaru and has left Konoha. According to the reports of the perception class and the barrier class, the people who took him away were the four Sound Ninjas who used the Ninja Technique: Four Purple Flame Formation during the Chunin Exam.”
”Due to the fact that all the jonin in the village are on missions outside during this period, I can only temporarily promote Nara Shikamaru to Chunin and let him lead Team 7 and Team 10 to retrieve Uchiha Sasuke. Karin is also in it.”
”But just a few hours ago, Shizune sent me information that Shiranui Xuanjian and his friends met the Sound Four, but they were all injured by them. That group of guys also had Orochimaru’s curse seal. I’m worried that Naruto and his friends will be in trouble, so you came back at the right time. ”
After saying that, Tsunade stood up and walked to a cabinet, opened it and took out a green vest, threw it to Yagyu, and said in a deep voice: “Yagyu, I now officially promote you to Konoha Chunin, responsible for leading the Eighth and Third Teams to support Nara Shikamaru and his friends. ”
”Yes, Hokage.”
Yagyu took the vest, nodded respectfully on the surface, but was slightly happy in his heart.
Is it finally time for this period!
“Go ahead, set off in the direction of the Land of Fields. The insects of the Aburame clan should be able to find their scent.” Tsunade instructed: “If you really can’t find it, Yagyu, you can use the slug to contact Karin. She has also signed a contract with the Wet Bone Forest.”
”I understand, Hokage-sama.”
Yagyu nodded again, and then took the eighth and third teams out of the Hokage’s office. After applying for the village exit certificate on the first floor, he left Konoha again.
On the way, Yagyu asked Aburame Shino: “Shino, did your insects find the scent of Shikamaru and Naruto?”
”No.”
Aburame Shino looked at the insect on her finger, shook her head and said: “A long time has passed. Even if it hasn’t rained, the remaining smell has disappeared.”
”In that case, let’s set off in the direction of the Land of Fields as Hokage-sama said.”
Yagyu took out a map from somewhere, opened it, and quickly led the third and eighth teams to the north.
The Land of Fields is also one of the neighboring countries of the Land of Fire. It is located in the north of the Land of Fire. The neighboring countries on the left and right are the Land of Iron and the Land of Hot Springs.
If the ninjas of Konoha want to enter the Land of Fields, they need to pass through a very large area of virgin forest that has not been developed.
Even if it is a ninja, it will take most of the day to pass through that virgin forest.
At the end of the forest, there is a grassland area, and then there is the Valley of the End where the first generation of Hokage and Uchiha Madara fought.
Because it was already afternoon when we returned to the village.
Not long after the third and eighth teams left Konoha, the sun had already set.
Soon, the night enveloped the earth.
Yagyu and others who were eager to support Nara Shikamaru and others did not rest in the middle of the journey. They just ate a grain pill and continued to move at full speed.
When they approached LingIn the morning, they finally saw the vast and rootless primeval forest.
”We found their scent.”
As soon as they entered the primeval forest, Aburame Shino told them a good news.
”Then I’ll trouble you to lead the way, Shino.”
Kagura couldn’t find Yagyu in her heart, so she gave the position of the leader to Aburame Shino.
Aburame Shino nodded, then she surpassed Yagyu and others in a flash and led the way in front.
Two hours later, Aburame Shino suddenly slowed down and returned to the team that was moving forward without talking to save energy. She reported to Yagyu: “There are three familiar smells ahead, but they are not Naruto and his team. However, the ones that my bugs can remember should be people we know or have had interactions with, and we must have seen them during this period.”
”Byakugan—Open!”
Without waiting for Yagyu to speak, Hyuga Neji and Hinata both opened their Byakugan, and the former said: “It is the Sand Ninja combination of the Chunin Exam.”
Hearing this, Xiao Li and Tian Tian’s faces changed slightly, and the figures of Gaara and Temari appeared in their minds.
Yagyu said slowly: “After the fifth generation took office, the Sand Village sent people to redeem them and signed a new alliance agreement with Konoha. They are not enemies now. Let’s go up and communicate with them.”
”Yes.”
Team 3 and Team 8 increased their speed of moving forward again, and soon caught up with Gaara’s three siblings in front.
“It’s you!”
The three Gaara siblings, who were also traveling at night, also discovered Yagyu and others at this time.
Looking at Lee and Yagyu who performed amazingly in the Chunin Exam, and Aburame Shino who defeated them, Temari and Kankuro’s faces changed slightly.
However, thinking of the current relationship between Sand Village and Konoha, Temari quickly calmed down and took the initiative to explain to Yagyu: “We didn’t deliberately appear in the territory of the Land of Fire, but your fifth generation Hokage sent a request for support to our Sand Village.”
”I see.”
Yagyu pretended to be surprised, showing a mask-like gentle smile, nodded and said: “Sorry to bother you, we are indeed short of manpower in Konoha during this period.”
”Understand, understand…”
Temari and Kankuro smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Although the two siblings also lost their father, and the Sand Village also lost the Fourth Kazekage, the Sand Village did have a share of responsibility for Konoha losing the Third Hokage.
That is why the Sand Village did not dare to blame the rebels of Konoha for killing the Fourth Hokage, and quickly signed an alliance agreement with Konoha.
This time, they came to support at full speed to make up for the mistakes they made.
At this time, Gaara also turned his head to look at the Yagyu and the others, and took the initiative to greet them: “Long time no see, Yagyu, and… Rock Lee.”
”Long time no see, you…”
Little Lee responded subconsciously, then suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Gaara blankly.
Tenten and Hinata beside him were also shocked.
Obviously, they did not expect that during the Chunin Exam, the murderous guy with a ferocious expression under the sand armor would actually take the initiative to greet them.
“Long time no see.”
Yagyu said with a smile: “You have changed a lot. Have you figured out something during this period?”
”Ah…”
Gaara nodded, looking at the dark forest in front of him, as if he saw a figure with his back to him, and whispered: “I want to change my past thoughts and want to know how that guy felt at that time.”
”Then come on.”
The atmosphere soon became awkward.
Facing the former enemy, both sides had nothing to say.
And now it was early morning, and they had to learn to save their energy as they had been teleporting all the time.
So, the nine people in the group remained silent. I don’t know how long it took, when the black sky gradually turned white.
Hinata and Hyuga Neji would open their Byakugan in turn from time to time. Hinata’s face suddenly changed slightly and said, “Yagyu-kun, I saw Choji. He is in a very bad condition now.”
”I sensed it too. His breath is too weak.”
Yagyu made a seal with one hand, and a branch extended from his body, quickly turning into a wooden clone.
”Wood… Wood Release?!”
This scene almost made Temari and Kankuro drop their jaws in shock.
Gaara, who looked over, also had his pupils constricted.
Obviously, they were all shocked by Yagyu’s move.
”Gurgle…”
ThenThat is, Temari and Kankuro swallowed their saliva.
They thought that Xiao Li was the strongest among these people, and finally realized why only Yagyu was wearing a green vest among these people.
This guy who showed a powerful water escape secret and the illusion of instant body in the Chunin Exam is actually the owner of the legendary blood limit, wood escape.
In other words, he is really a descendant of the Senju clan!
Thinking of this, Temari and Kankuro suddenly secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, this guy is a rational player. He saw the result before the war was over, so he didn’t attack them.
Otherwise, the three of them might really die in Konoha!
At the same time, the two siblings also decided secretly.
After returning, they must report this information to Grandma Chiyo.
After the first generation of Hokage, another wood escape ninja appeared in Konoha. This is definitely a big news that shocked the ninja world.
Yagyu seemed to have not seen the reaction of the three siblings.
After creating a wooden clone, he said to Xiao Li: “Xiao Li, Dingci’s current situation is not good. My wooden clone may disappear after treatment. Please go with my wooden clone to protect him.”
”No problem, leave it to me!”
The simple Xiao Li didn’t think much about it at all. He just raised his thumb and promised with a grin.
So, Xiao Li and the wooden clone left the team.
The remaining eight people continued on their way.
Soon, the dawn broke through the night, and the morning sun illuminated the forest.
“Yagyu-kun, I saw Shikamaru, he is fighting with the enemy now.”
At this time, Hinata reported again: “The enemy’s ninjutsu is bows and arrows and spider silk. Shikamaru’s current situation is not good. He has been dodging and running away.”
”Shino, Neji, please help Shikamaru.”
”Yes.”
Looking at Shino Aburame and Neji Hyuga who left in a flash, Gaara also said: “Kankurō, you also go up to help.”
”I know.”
Kankurō nodded and followed in a flash.
The team of eight people soon had only five people left.
Not long after, Hinata said again: “Yagyu-kun, I saw Karin, Sakura, and Ino and the others.”
”Well, I also sensed their chakras. It seems that nothing is wrong.” Yagyu nodded.
In fact, before dawn, Yagyu’s Kagura mind’s eye had already sensed everyone’s position.
The arrangement just now was also intentional.
Like the original, Akimichi Choji’s opponent is Jirobo.
He is now in a state of near death, and he should have taken three pills like the original and entered the butterfly state.
This disaster is a good thing for Akimichi Choji.
Nara Shikamaru’s opponent is Kidomaru.
Facing Kidomaru who can open the second curse seal, Nara Shikamaru is not an opponent at all. He can hold on until now, probably because he uses the surrounding forest.
Kidomaru failed to kill Nara Shikamaru, probably because he is afraid of the Nara clan’s shadow imitation technique. The two are constantly pulling, the former looking for an opportunity to kill with one blow, and the latter looking for an opportunity to sneak up on the opponent, or waiting for rescue to arrive.
As for Karin, Sakura, and the three Ino girls, their opponents are Tayuya, who is good at summoning and sound illusions.
They are both good at sound illusions, but Tayuya’s strength is many times stronger than Jin in the Toss trio.
If Karin hadn’t been with the team, Tsunade probably wouldn’t have let Ino and Sakura go with them, because their strength is too weak.
Similarly, if Karin hadn’t been there, Yagyu would have been very anxious.
But fortunately, Karin followed.
Karin, who learned a lot of water escape from Yagyu, is second only to Naruto, who can use group Rasengan.
In addition, the chakra control of the three Karin girls is very good, and the secret technique of the Ino family can also help their own people break free from illusions. Even if Tayuya enters the cursed seal state, it is difficult to take down the trio.
However, it is not an easy task for the trio to take down Tayuya.
So, Yagyu continued to give orders: “Hinata, you and Tenten go to support Karin and the others.”
”Yes.”
Hinata and Tenten nodded, and then left the team in an instant.
Gaara also said to Temari: “Temari, you go to help them.”
”I understand.”
Temari nodded and followed closely.
The nine-man team was suddenly left with only”Get out of my way, give Sasuke back to me – Rasengan!!!”
Not long after they separated from Hinata and the other two girls, Yagyu and Gaara, who were teleporting at full speed, suddenly heard Naruto’s roar.
The voice echoed, as if many people were shouting together, extremely loud.
As if he could hear Naruto’s anger, Gaara’s face changed slightly.
Soon, a group of figures wearing orange jackets suddenly appeared in the eyes of Yagyu and Gaara.
At least hundreds of Naruto, emitting red chakra, holding a blue energy ball in their hands, fiercely slammed into a figure.
Boom——
All the figures crashed into a tree, and hundreds of blue energy balls immediately set off a deafening explosion and dust.
“Gaara, go help Naruto.”
Yagyu said seriously: “There is another chakra ahead. Sasuke should be in his hands. I will go after him.”
Ziziziziziz…
The sound of electric currents intersecting sounded, and Yagyu turned into a blue-white afterimage without waiting for Gaara to reply, and disappeared in an instant.
