Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage.

Chapter 166 Why Are You Chasing Me? (Third and Fourth Updates)

Nara Shikamaru raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Tsunade's voice came through.

Nara Shikamaru walked into the Hokage's office.

When he saw Hyuga Neji, Aburame Shino, Uchiha Sasuke, and an unfamiliar red-haired girl, he couldn't help but look puzzled.

Just before, an Anbu ninja suddenly appeared and notified him to gather at the Hokage's office, saying there was an urgent mission.

But why aren't Choji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka as teammates?

What's going on?

Even the tradition of pigs, deer, and butterflies never being separated has been broken?

"Alright, everyone's here."

Tsunade said in a serious tone, "From now on, the five of you will form a temporary team, with Shikamaru as the captain, and you will carry out the pursuit mission."

"Who are you chasing?"

Nara Shikamaru asked curiously.

"Oil Girl Zhihui".

Tsunade said in a deep voice, "He has been taken away by the ninjas of Otogakure."

"what?"

Nara Shikamaru's brilliant mind suddenly went blank.

I recognize every single word you say, but I just can't understand it when they're put together.

"impossible!"

Without hesitation, Sasuke Uchiha said, "Those four ninjas from the Sound Village combined couldn't beat Shiki."

He suddenly stopped.

Could it be a defection?

But isn't something wrong somewhere?

"..."

Shino Aburame's first reaction upon hearing this wasn't shock, but rather that her brother was up to something again.

He glanced at Tsunade.

Although his expression looked serious, he wasn't actually anxious at all.

Is this reasonable?

Hyuga Neji remained completely calm.

As a member of Sky Drive, he didn't think Aburame Shiki would defect.

Karin suffered cardiac arrest and instinctively panicked.

But they quickly realized the problem.

She didn't believe that Zhihui, the oil lady, would abandon her and her daughter.

"It's acting."

Karin said firmly.

Nara Shikamaru and Uchiha Sasuke were slightly taken aback, but quickly showed expressions of realization.

This certainly seems like something that Shiki Aburame would do.

Tsunade glanced at Karin with surprise.

You've only been a few days and you already believe that brat?

Are you blinded by love?

Does he have that much charm?

"Don't ask anything else."

Tsunade's lips twitched slightly as she said, "You must set off immediately and bring Shiki back."

"yes!"

Nara Shikamaru and the others cooperated fully and answered in unison.

They bowed slightly and then left the Hokage's office.

"I am Karin."

Karin introduced herself, saying, "A new member of Team 7, skilled in sealing techniques."

"Sealing technique?"

Nara Shikamaru was somewhat surprised, "This is quite rare."

Sealing ninjas are rarer than medical ninjas.

This was the first time he had ever met someone like this.

"Shino."

As Nara Shikamaru ran, he said, "You're in charge of tracking them."

Shino Aburame stretched out her hands, and a large number of parasitic insects flew out.

"Sasuke, have you seen those four ninjas from Otogakure?"

Nara Shikamaru remembered what Uchiha Sasuke had said before.

"Um."

Sasuke Uchiha recalled, "They weren't particularly strong to begin with, but after being amplified by the Cursed Seal, they were able to reach the level of Jonin."

"Since it involves Jonin, why are you asking us Genin?"

Nara Shikamaru had a bit of a headache.

After he finished complaining, he let out a soft "hmm".

This is clearly problematic.

"I suspect there are Jonin protecting us in the shadows."

Nara Shikamaru sighed and asked, "Why make things so complicated?"

"I feel it was mostly my brother's idea."

Shino Aburame adjusted her glasses and said.

"Once the mission is over, I'll have to bring Choji and Hinata along and have him treat us to a meal."

Nara Shikamaru glared with dead fish eyes and said with dissatisfaction.

"Zhihui must have his reasons for doing this!"

Karin offered her explanation.

Nara Shikamaru blinked.

This sentence sounds so familiar.

It sounded like Ino Yamanaka's tone.

broken.

She has gained another rival in love.

"Have you and Zhihui known each other for a long time?"

Nara Shikamaru thought for a moment and then asked.

"no."

Karin shook her head and said, "Only four days."

Nara Shikamaru couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

In such a short time, I think you're just lusting after his body.

Women are truly terrifying.

He had originally intended to help Yamanaka Ino gather intelligence, but he immediately abandoned the idea.

Getting involved in this kind of thing would definitely cause a huge problem.

"I've found my target."

"Two hours later," Shino Aburame said.

How much further?

Nara Shikamaru immediately asked.

"About three thousand meters."

Aburame Shino answered.

"The Hokage and Zhihui must have their reasons for going to such lengths to put on this show."

After thinking for a moment, Nara Shikamaru said, "Let's just follow the normal line of thinking and pretend it's real."

The other four nodded.

Tsunade had already designated Nara Shikamaru as the captain, so they just needed to follow orders.

The wind howled.

Five people leaped rapidly through the forest.

"Someone is catching up."

Kidomaru suddenly frowned and said, "They are ninjas from Konoha Village."

"How could they have been discovered so quickly?"

Tayuya looked at Aburame Shiki with suspicion.

"If I really want to kill you, you won't be able to leave Konoha Village."

"Issue no Shiki said calmly."

"What did you say?"

Tayuya was immediately dissatisfied.

He's right.

Kidomaru laughed. "There are five ninjas chasing after us, all of them are genin."

"It seems you're not highly regarded in Konoha."

Tayuya gave a soft hum.

Oil Girl Zhihui glanced at her.

He remembered that Tayuya's character was sharp-tongued and often argued with others.

If I had to describe her using a word from her past life, she would probably be a little devil.

"I'll take care of it."

"Jirobo, who is the same size as Choji Akimichi, said in a deep voice."

"Crush them!"

Tayuya said without any politeness.

Jirobo nodded slightly and stopped in place.

He formed a mudra with his hands and pressed them down.

Spiritual communication!

With a loud bang.

A giant clay figure slowly rose up behind him.

"careful."

Hyuga Neji had already activated his Byakugan and said, "That's a summoning beast; its entire body is covered in chakra."

"Leave it to me."

Upon hearing the word "chakra," Shino Aburame adjusted his glasses.

Are you okay?

Nara Shikamaru was a little worried.

"Although I'm not as good as my older brother, I also have two special insects."

"That's what Shino Aburame said casually."

So calm?

Nara Shikamaru tried to recall carefully, but he found that he had no recollection of Aburame Shino's ninjutsu.

He hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Shino, stay. We'll take a detour."

Anyway, if Shino Aburame can't win, the Jonin in the shadows will help him.

Shortly after they left, a tremendous noise was heard.

Shino Aburame's strategy was very simple.

Flash and Exploding Bug.

Jirobo was directly hit, and then he activated his cursed seal. The exploding insects absorbed a massive amount of chakra and turned into fireworks.

"What's going on?"

Tayuya was startled.

"Jirobo has been blown up."

Kidomaru said with a grim expression.

"It exploded?"

Sakon and Ukon licked their lips and said, "To be able to defeat Jirobo so quickly, he's no ordinary genin."

"It's a bit troublesome."

Kidomaru glanced at the calm Aburame Shiki and said, "But no matter what, we must complete Lord Orochimaru's mission."

As for Jirobo's death, they didn't care.

"etc!"

Kidomaru's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "It's his aura!"

"Who?"

Left and right were slightly startled.

Kimimaro.

Kidomaru's spirits lifted, his previous worries vanishing. "Lord Orochimaru really hasn't forgotten us!"

"He actually came?"

Tayuya turned her head and looked at the distance not far away.

Kimimaro appeared with white hair and two red dots between his eyebrows.

"Kimimaro, what brings you here?"

Duoyou was also puzzled and asked.

"You're too slow."

Kimimaro said coldly, "Because your Lord Orochimaru has been reincarnated into a temporary vessel."

"What?!"

Tayuya and the others showed expressions of shock and guilt.

"You go and hold off the pursuers, I'll take him to see Lord Orochimaru."

Kimimaro turned and left.

"Damn it!"

Kidomaru immediately activated the second stage of his cursed seal, and said viciously, "I want them dead!"

The Sound Four were actually the Sound Five.

The strongest was Kimimaro.

He comes from the Kaguya clan, which has been wiped out in Kirigakure, and possesses the bloodline limit Shikotsumyaku.

Unfortunately, he contracted a bloodline disease.

Even with top experts like Orochimaru and Kabuto Yakushi, they couldn't cure him.

Besides Kimimaro, another typical example of bloodline disease is Uchiha Itachi.

Simply put, the more bloodline limits you use, the faster you die.

"Another ninja from the Hidden Sound Village has arrived."

Upon returning to the group, Shino Aburame warned, "He took my brother away, and the other three are heading our way."

"Three people?"

Nara Shikamaru said in a deep voice, "If it's not feasible to take a detour, then we'll deal with them as quickly as possible."

You're right.

Tayuya answered him.

In the blink of an eye, three strange creatures appeared before them.

Kidomaru, a six-armed demon wielding a bow.

Sakon and Ukon have two heads, with demonic faces and single horns.

Tayuya, with long red hair, dark skin, and several white horns.

Shadow Binding Technique!

Nara Shikamaru crouched down, and his shadow suddenly stretched out, immediately approaching the feet of the three people and merging with their shadows.

He felt a little relieved, but the next second, his expression changed slightly again.

"You think you can control the three of us?"

Sakon and Ukon sneered, completely ignoring his shadow, and walked straight forward.

"What about this one?"

Karin's lips curled slightly as she asked.

Five thick golden chains extended from her abdomen and bound the three of them in the blink of an eye.

"Is this the Vajra Lockdown?"

Nara Shikamaru paused, then asked, "Are you a ninja from the Uzumaki clan?"

"good."

Karin said with considerable pride.

Why didn't you say so sooner?

Although Nara Shikamaru complained, he was actually very happy.

Looking at the three struggling people, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but look at Karin with newfound respect.

Judging from the binding force it has shown so far, it is quite astonishing.

As expected of a sealing technique that is effective even against tailed beasts.

At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha acknowledged Karin's strength as a teammate.

With her assistance, future battles will be much easier.

"Capture them alive."

Just then, Kakashi Hatake appeared.

……

You Nuzhihui looked at the grassland in front of her and stopped.

Two lines of text appeared before his eyes.

It was the passive achievement he triggered.

[Achieve the achievement "Why are you chasing me?" and receive the reward Black Python Entangling Gu.]

[Black Python Entangling Power Gu: A third-stage Gu worm, of the power type, capable of modifying the Gu Master, creating a phantom black python out of thin air.]

Like the White Elephant and Galloping Horse before it, it is a key Gu worm for power.

Oil Girl Zhihui was quite satisfied.

At least the trip wasn't in vain.

Now, the only remaining objective is to capture Kimimaro alive.

Why did you stop?

Kimimaro's gaze sharpened, and his tone turned dangerous.

"I've just thought about it, and Konoha Village is more suitable for me."

"It's oil-loving Zhihui," he said with a smile.

"That's not up to you."

Kimimaro activated the first stage of the cursed seal without the slightest hesitation.

His entire body was covered in black markings.

Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Camellia!

Kimimaro drew a bone knife from his left arm and slashed at Aburame Shiki with a swift movement.

Because he was the person Orochimaru wanted, he avoided vital points.

With a clang.

Kimimaro's pupils contracted slightly, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

Three rotating, flying bone shields appeared around Aburame Shiki.

This is the Flying Bone Shield Gu.

"Are you from the Kaguya clan?"

Kimimaro stepped back, surprised and puzzled.

"If you surrender, I'll tell you."

Yu Nu Zhihui clenched his fist and said.

"That's impossible."

Kimimaro's expression turned cold.

He stepped forward again, a bone knife appearing on his right arm. He unleashed two attacks simultaneously, unleashing multiple strikes in an instant.

A snap.

Fractured bony shield.

Seeing this, Yu Nu Zhihui threw a punch.

Physical techniques?

Kimimaro gave a soft snort.

His Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) is the nemesis of all taijutsu ninjas.

Because his bones are very hard.

In the original work, even the chakra blades of the samurai of the Land of Iron could not cut through it.

Kimimaro slashed at him without hesitation.

The unimaginable force caused shockwaves to appear around them when the sword and fist clashed.

Kimimaro's body was sent flying backward.

His right arm went numb, and he couldn't hold the bone knife, so it stuck in the ground.

Kimimaro stood up with a serious expression.

He stared blankly at Yu Nuzhihui's unharmed fist.

He's tough, I understand.

But why is the skin so hard?

After a moment's thought, Kimimaro immediately activated the second stage of the curse seal.

His entire body turned black, his back bulged, and a tail grew out.

Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Tang Pine!

Kimimaro's skin writhed, and dozens of bones grew out.

These bones not only provide defense, but also allow for counterattacks against physical attacks from enemies.

Kimimaro got serious.

He appeared in front of You Nu Zhihui in an instant.

The ghost screams Gu!

Oil Girl Zhihui clenched her fists slowly and deliberately.

Kimimaro, moving at high speed, revealed his body.

He listened to the jarring sound, his face turning extremely pale.

Black Python Entangling Gu!

Yu Nu Zhihui threw a punch.

A giant black python coiled around Kimimaro.

The immense force rendered him unable to move.

Because it was a phantom, his counterattack was completely ineffective.

Kimimaro now finally understands why Orochimaru wanted Shiki Aburame.

He does indeed possess greater value than he has.

Since that's the case... a resolute look appeared in Kimimaro's eyes.

But Zhihui, the oil lady, didn't give him a chance.

Because he knew Kimimaro's ultimate self-destructive ninjutsu, Shikotsumyaku: Early Fern Dance.

It can form a huge forest of bones on the ground, which is similar to Wood Release: Advent of the Tree World.

Yu Nu Zhihui's solution was simple.

White Elephant Yuanli Gu!

He leaped forward and delivered a powerful punch.

A huge white elephant phantom appeared above his head.

With a loud bang.

The ground sank at a visible speed, eventually revealing a deep pit.

When the dust settled, Kimimaro was revealed to be unconscious.

Even with his strong bones, he couldn't withstand the combined power of those two consecutive beastly punches.

[Achieve the achievement "I am a tough nut to crack" for Kimimaro and receive the reward: Immortal Grass.]

[Immortal Grass: A third-stage Gu worm, a consumable item that can preserve a sliver of life, keeping one clinging to life.]

Oil Girl Zhihui was taken aback.

This is really good stuff.

It's like having half a life extra.

Two-in-one.
