Chapter 72 (1/2)

Shinobi were very fast, especially in emergency situations.

In the blink of an eye, they had run several kilometers.​​

Pakura and some Jonny approached Erase, leaving the main force behind.

”This is no ordinary shinobi...”

Pakura frowned.

This is not the speed that an ordinary shinobi can have, although it is not clear which village he belongs to, but most likely he has the rank of a Junin!

This makes the situation more difficult, even if it's Junin Amegakure, he can quickly pass information to Konoha, completely disrupting their plan.

”The main group is staying here!”

”Yoshiki, Munai...follow me!”

A light flashed in Pakura's eyes, and she gave a firm command.

On the one hand, such a large group is not able to catch up with Jounin, on the other hand, the movement of such a large group can attract attention. If someone notices them, or a chased shinobi breaks into some village, the probability of information leakage will increase dramatically.

Thus, the best strategy is to pursue a small elite team, which will significantly reduce the probability of detection.

”There is!”

The Junin nodded and passed the command back, a large number of shinobi immediately stopped.

Pakura continued the chase with a small team.

As the chase continued, Pakura's team gradually caught up with Yeruashi, as the distance shortened to a certain extent, a chill flashed in the eyes of one of the Jounins.

”That's enough!”

”Doton! Wave of the earth!”

He quickly folded the seals and placed his hand on the ground.

Usually, the wet climate of the Rain Country reduces the effectiveness of Dotonjutsu, but there are exceptions like ninjutsu creating massive moving streams of earth, such an environment on the contrary will increase their power and range!

After releasing the jutsu, a large area of ground in front of him shook like a carpet, and Yeruashi tried to stabilize his position, causing his speed to drop dramatically.

”Die!”

The other shinobi without hesitation rushed forward, and quickly swung his short blade, about to pierce the back of Erase.

Phew!

But no blood followed, a figure of Erase disappeared in a flash of white smoke.

Bunshin!

”Right!”

From behind came the cry of his comrades.

Without hesitation, Suna's shinobi swung the short blade sharply to the right, and in the next instant, it collided with the Kusanagi Blade clutched in Yeruashi's right hand.

Klang!

There was a loud collision sound of metal, a figure of Erase stepped back.

”A bit unusual, in the past I always used a short blade, it seems that this Kusanagi Blade can not change the length at the request of the owner...”

Yeruashi glanced at Kusanagi's Blade and folded the seals with his left hand, arcs of lightning enveloped the blade, and the sound of birds chirping rang out.

At the same time to Erase rushed three figures, holding him from three directions. None of them used ninjutsu, it seems that to avoid any mistakes and unnecessary noise, they decided to take advantage of the numerical advantage and quickly crush the enemy with taijutsu.
