Fujino, along with his three Chunin students, fled to a safe area in the distance.
He looked at his students with a solemn expression and said, "Toru and Daishi, take Yamahoko back to the outpost for treatment. Also, bring the intelligence from here back and have them send another Jonin for support. I will continue to pursue that Uchiha. This mission is crucial and must not fail."
Daishi frowned slightly and asked with some doubt, "Sensei, from what I observed, the opponent should only be sixteen or seventeen years old. Is he that strong? Do we still need to send a Jonin for support?"
Fujino explained with a serious expression, "Using that Two-Headed Four-Armed Ninjutsu just now, he can easily cast combination Ninjutsu. What's more troublesome is that he can also activate two Genjutsu simultaneously, which is equivalent to casting four Ninjutsu at the same time. Therefore, the power and strategic value of this Ninjutsu are beyond imagination. Moreover, a Konoha genius like him is our priority target."
Upon hearing this, Toru nodded and said, "Understood, sensei. We will take Yamahoko back for treatment and bring the intelligence back immediately."
Fujino nodded slightly, then used the Body Flicker Technique and disappeared from his original spot.
Watching hi. leave, Toru turned to his two companions and said with a serious expression, "Daishi, carry Yamahoko. We need to hurry back to the outpost."
Daishi patted his chest and said, "Sorry, Yamahoko, bear with the pain. I'll carry you back for treatment now."
After speaking, he squatted down, carefully picked up Yamahoko, and quickly headed north.
On the other side, Shun had only been fleeing for a little over ten minutes when he sensed someone was pursuing him.
The person pursuing him was, of course, Fujino. He did not hide his tracks. Instead, he constantly launched attacks to interfere. Once he encountered a counterattack, he would quickly escape underground with extreme speed, making him incredibly annoying.
Facing such a slippery opponent, Shun felt a bit annoyed but could only carefully ponder his options.
'The enemy is an experienced old Jonin, and I am still at the border of the Land of Earth. The enemy's support ninja should arrive very soon, so their attacks are nothing more than an attempt to disrupt my escape rhythm. If I continue to stall, I will die.'
He thought of a method. Crossing the heartland of the Land of Grass. Although doing so would lead to attacks from a large number of Kusagakure ninjas, at least there would still be hope of escape.
During the Third Great Ninja War, the main battlefield between Konoha and Iwagakure was actually in the Land of Grass, this was the helplessness of a small country.
The ninjas of Kusagakure outwardly showed great respect to Konoha and Iwagakure. But secretly, they were fence-sitters, selling intelligence about Iwagakure to Konoha and intelligence about Konoha to Iwagakure. If they encountered a lone Konoha or Iwagakure ninja, they would ambush or kidnap them.
Seeing Shun change his direction of movement and head towards Kusagakure, Fujino also guessed his intentions. His expression immediately darkened. After leaving some secret signals on the ground, he pursued him.
The border of the Land of Grass was covered in various types of green grass. Even with sparse trees, they were not tall, so there were not many places to hide.
While speeding, Shun glanced at his pursuer behind him. The Iwagakure Jonin behind him was very cautious. Sharingan: Genjutsu required both parties to make eye contact to be successfully activated but after more than two hours of pursuit, he still hadn't found an opportunity to use it.
They were about to enter Kusagakure's alert range, but Fujino still showed no sign of giving up. Shun then took out a Military Ration Pill and ate it to recover his stamina and Chakra.
Not long after, three Kusagakure ninjas appeared not far ahead. They held Kunai, assumed defensive stances, and shouted, "This is Kusagakure territory! Leave immediately!"
Shun activated his three-tomoe Sharingan and saw that they were only three Genin. He then took out six shuriken and threw them.
Clang... Clang... Clang!
Several sounds of metal clashing rang out. The three Kusagakure Genin clutched their necks and convulsed as they fell, clearly not having much time left to live.
After dealing with the Kusagakure Genin, he glanced at his pursuer behind him, who clearly showed no signs of giving up. He could only bite the bullet and continue deeper into Kusagakure territory.
The detection ability of the Sharingan is not as great as the Byakugan, but it is not weak. A moment later, Shun discovered 9 Kusagakure ninjas in the distance.
'3 Chunin, 6 Genin. Perhaps I can try.'
After saying that, he ignored the 6 Genin and stealthily approached the 3 Kusagakure Chunin.
120 meters... 50 meters... 30 meters...
The distance was getting closer and closer.
Shun hid in the shadows and used Divine Demon Transformation, then suddenly rushed towards the 3 Kusagakure Chunin.
Seeing a two-headed, four-armed monster suddenly appear and charge at them, the 3 Kusagakure Chunin were slightly stunned, then thought, 'Not good.'
Sharingan: Genjutsu! ×2
Two of the Kusagakure Chunin were seen holding Kunai and stabbing the ninja standing in the middle.
Instantly, that Kusagakure Chunin clutched his lower back and fell, and as he fell, he struggled to shout, "Enemy attack!"
The shout quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding Kusagakure ninjas, while Shun had already hidden himself.
Then, he controlled a Kusagakure Chunin who was under Genjutsu and shouted, "At 4 o'clock, there's a lone Iwagakure Jonin! He has killed one of our Chunin! I will avenge him!"
Unable to watch the show, Fujino formed hand signs and slapped the ground.
Earth Release: Earth and Stone Dragon.
A ten-meter-long earth dragon emerged from the ground. He quickly jumped onto the dragon's head and shouted from above, "I didn't kill that person! I'm currently pursuing an Uchiha! If you know what's good for you, get out of my way!"
The two Kusagakure Chunin, controlled by Genjutsu, ignored his words and continued to charge towards him.
As the distance between them closed, Fujino naturally noticed the anomaly. The eyes of those two Kusagakure Chunin had already taken on the shape of the Sharingan, which is a characteristic of being controlled by Sharingan: Genjutsu.
Knowing that persuasion was futile, he could only use Ninjutsu to attack.
Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet.
The large earth dragon opened its mouth wide, continuously firing earth chunks. Instantly, one Kusagakure Chunin was hit by several earth chunks, falling to the ground motionless, his clothes quickly stained with blood.
Seeing this, the other Kusagakure Chunin shouted, "Damn it! Sumiko is also dead! I will avenge her!"
After saying that, the Kusagakure Chunin quickly charged forward and detonated the explosive tags on his body.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Explosions continuously rang out.
Seeing such a tragic way of dying, the surrounding Kusagakure ninjas felt their blood boil. They no longer hid their figures, quickly surrounded Fujino, and pulled out their ninja tools to attack.
Although the plan was successful, the 6 Kusagakure Genin could not delay for too long. Fortunately, the continuous explosions had already caused a commotion, and Kusagakure ninjas were constantly rushing towards the explosion area.
