Chapter 123 Asuma the Foolish One
After Orochimaru deployed the all-out attack, the Jonin made detailed arrangements for the defense, including the time for resistance in each direction and the retreat routes.
The third and final line of defense will be where the ninjas on Konoha's northwest front will conduct their final interception.
This time, Sarutobi Asuma carried Uchiha Itachi on his back. The latter's legs were too short to keep up with their speed.
Leaning against Sarutobi Asuma's back, watching the scenery rush past on both sides, Uchiha Itachi's eyes were wide open, his gaze filled with wonder.
After a moment, feeling a bit bored, he looked away.
Looking at the Shingetsu Nebula and Kurenai Yuhi ahead, he asked Sarutobi Asuma in a low voice.
Are they boyfriend and girlfriend?
Sarutobi Asuma stumbled.
If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have crashed into a tree.
He hurriedly regained his balance and said irritably, "What do you know, kid? Don't talk nonsense."
"They are definitely not boyfriend and girlfriend."
Why do you ask that?
"It's nothing," Itachi Uchiha said. "I just think they look like a good match."
"Where did it go? How did it go?" Sarutobi Asuma completely disagreed with the other person's words.
Uchiha Itachi: "Looks, that's all."
"They look...not quite like you."
Sarutobi Asuma's face immediately darkened.
"You brat, if you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll throw you down even if it's just for Misaka-sensei's sake!"
Itachi Uchiha sensed something was wrong and immediately shut his mouth.
Sarutobi Asuma was just trying to scare Uchiha Itachi at the time.
When the other person stopped making a sound, he felt a tightness in his chest, so he took the initiative to speak.
"You brat—Itachi, right?"
"Let me tell you, adult matters are actually very complicated. You're just a little kid, you wouldn't understand."
"However, in matters between men and women, sometimes it's not all about looks."
"Although Nebula is indeed a little better looking than me, as a man, it's not just about looks; talent and character are equally important."
Uchiha Itachi: "Are you stronger than him?"
Sarutobi Asuma:
'
"You're asking too many questions!"
The two stopped talking.
As Sarutobi Asuma ran, he glanced at the two people ahead and chuckled to himself, recalling Itachi Uchiha's words.
impossible.
Red could never possibly like Nebula.
Although the latter is somewhat attractive and a nice person to get along with, his laxity in personal conduct is an undeniable fact.
Hong dislikes guys like that the most.
The only person who can truly be with a well-mannered girl like Hong is a treasure like himself.
Thinking of his three children with Hong in his dream, a happy smile appeared on his face.
Uchiha Itachi: "What are you laughing at?"
Asuma Sarutobi whispered as he ran.
"Itachi".
"I'll tell you a secret~"
"Actually, Hong and I are a couple."
Uchiha Itachi:
Lying on Sarutobi Asuma's back, Uchiha Itachi tilted his small face back slightly, as if he were moving away from Asuma's brain, or as if he were re-examining him.
How can people be so outrageous?
A moment later, a hint of sympathy appeared in Itachi Uchiha's large eyes.
Turns out he was an idiot.
Around noon, the camp of the third line of defense came into view in the distance.
The defensive line stretched between two steep hillsides, and in the distance, scattered Konoha ninjas could be seen constantly emerging from the forest and retreating into the camp from both sides of the defensive line. Clearly, the third line of defense had received the news.
Upon reaching this point, the number of pursuers from Iwagakure had dwindled, and the enemy needed to rest. Facing the formidable third line of defense, they needed to regroup and launch a unified attack.
Of course, there were also madmen who went berserk.
For example, behind Shingetsu Seiun and his group, as they began to approach the camp, an Iwagakure ninja appeared from the side and quickly followed.
The opponent was very fast, clearly intending to intercept and kill the three of them, and was running at full speed.
Shingetsu Seiun tightened his grip on his longsword and said to Sarutobi Asuma and the other man, "You two take Itachi and go first."
Sarutobi Asuma: "Can you handle this yourself?"
"Don't worry," said Shenyue Xingyun, "I'll be there shortly."
He stopped in place, raised his longsword with one hand, and while adjusting his breathing, he began to circulate the chakra within his body.
The Immortal Flow Lv3 is poised to unleash its power.
Nearly.
The enemy is getting close.
He could see the bloodthirsty smile of the Hidden Stone Village and the strange weapon in their hand that looked like an iron claw.
"Iwagakure's master of close combat~" Kamitsuki Seiun murmured, holding his longsword horizontally in front of his chest.
Just as he was about to make his move, a gust of wind suddenly sounded beside him.
He was suddenly startled and quickly became alert.
However, the wind's purpose was not him, but the hidden rocks ahead.
Amidst the howling wind, a slender figure flashed past to his right, bringing with it a familiar fragrance.
Immediately afterwards, the figure appeared in front of Iwagakure. With her black hair flowing, she spun around and slapped forward with her two fleshy palms.
Seeing the Konoha reinforcements suddenly appear before him, the Iwagakure ninja grinned and gave a sinister smile.
"Are they coming here to die willingly?"
"Then I will grant your wish."
"Clang!!"
Above his hands, metal claws of an alien shape suddenly crossed and blocked the center gate, then swung forward in a crisscross motion!
"Clang! Clang clang!!~~" A series of sparks flew.
Her slender figure moved swiftly, like a butterfly fluttering on the battlefield. Her kunai tapped repeatedly on her iron claws, each attack hitting a position that Iwagakure had no choice but to defend against.
A moment later, her slender figure flashed again!
The kunai flew out of his hand and stabbed towards Iwagakure's waist from both sides. As Iwagakure blocked the kunai with his iron claws, he quickly reached forward!
The Iwagakure ninja remained completely calm, instead revealing a cruel sneer on his face.
With his left hand, he used an iron claw to block the kunai aimed at his vital points, while his right hand swiftly grabbed at the fair, jade-like arm in front of him.
"If we don't retreat, this beautiful hand will be cut in two." Iwagakure thought to himself, judging that the opponent would definitely retreat.
Under his offensive, most of the enemies he encountered chose to retreat.
Most of them died too.
The beautiful woman in front of me who rolled her eyes was no exception.
The iron claws spun, and Iwagakure was already thinking about how to counter them.
However, the other party did not withdraw their hand.
The fair arms actually sped up, moving forward quickly!
The sharp blade of the iron claws caused the arm to curl and create a red gash, and then the slender hand slapped down on Iwagakure's chest.
"Bang!~"
A soft, muffled thud.
Iwagakure froze on the spot.
Before his incredulous eyes, hands landed on him repeatedly, and after a few breaths, he lay stiffly down.
Her slender and graceful figure turned around.
The few blue veins around his eyes disappeared, and the familiar smile of Shen Yue Xingyun bloomed on his delicate face.
"nebula."
"haven't seen you for a long time.
"I miss you so much."
