Chapter 44: The Battle Turns Around! A Bird Pierced Through the Chest!!

The outskirts of the Death Forest.

"Have you found the three bodies?" Three jonin were carefully examining the bodies at the scene.

Mitarashi Anko hurried over and with just a glance, she understood the truth of the matter.

"The situation is extremely urgent!"

"You must report this matter to the Hokage immediately and request two Anbu troops to support the Death Forest!"

"I'm going to track these guys down now, got it?!"

"Yes!" The three senior ninjas quickly disappeared from the spot.

Mitarashi Anko also quickly left the scene.

......

"Damn it, what on earth happened?!" Kanon returned to the place, only to find that Sasuke and the others had disappeared, leaving only traces of battle and bloodstains.

Kanon began to sense the scene, and as soon as she activated her perception, she jumped away nimbly, and a shuriken shot at the place where she had just stood.

That was the ninja from the Hidden Rain Village who originally pretended to be Naruto.

"Get out of the way. We don't have time to fight you now." Hanane shouted at him.

"Are you alone? That's even better, everyone come out." The ninja from the Hidden Rain Village called out his two companions and surrounded Kanon.

"Hand over the Scroll of Heaven, or I will kill you."

Kanon was surrounded by three ninjas and clenched her teeth at this moment.

"Brother...you have to wait for me!" Kanon roared in her heart, activated the three-magatama Sharingan, gathered lightning in her hands, and the surrounding air was suddenly filled with the sharp sound of Chidori.

......

In a tree hole, Sakura looked at the unconscious Sasuke and Naruto with a worried look. Before she knew it, a day had passed. The hiding place chosen by Sakura was extremely hidden, and many people passed by without noticing the three of them.

Sakura, who had not slept all night, endured the exhaustion and guarded Naruto and Sasuke on the ground.

"Is it daybreak yet? I don't know where Kanon is..." Sakura muttered.

Suddenly, there were some noises coming from the bushes in the distance.

"Could it be..." Sakura's pupils shrank and she looked back.

At this time, the three people from Sound Village had already been eyeing Sakura and the others here.

Three figures flashed out instantly, and Sakura was stunned for a moment.

"You won't sleep and will protect them all night?" Toszhen's voice came, and Sakura immediately held the kunai and prepared for battle.

......

Kanon was looking for her teammates from Team 7, but her perception still failed to detect other people's chakra.

At the place where she originally left, there were only three bodies with their hearts pierced by Chidori, but Kanon searched for a whole night and still found nothing.

"It can't be true..." Hanane gritted her teeth angrily, then shook her head. She would never give up hope before she saw her brother's body!

Suddenly, there was a sound of a large flock of birds flying away in panic in the distance.

"There's a lot of noise over there? What's going on?!" Hanane immediately extended her perception over there.

As she got closer, she felt the familiar chakra.

This is Yamanaka Ino's chakra, and the commotion there does not seem to be triggered by ninjutsu, which means it may be a physical technique. As far as she knows, the only person in the entire Death Forest who can cause such a physical technique is Rock Lee.

"Never mind, let's go over and take a look first!" Hua Yin muttered to herself and hurriedly headed towards the distance.

......

The battlefield was in a mess. Sakura ignored her own injuries and bit Sakura's arm. No matter how much blood was drawn from her face, Sakura still kept biting him.

Beside her, Rock Lee had fallen to the ground unconscious, blood oozing from all his orifices.

Suddenly, Shikamaru, Ino and Akimichi Chouji stood up.

"Ino...why..."

"I won't let you shine in front of Sasuke alone!"

But at this time, Choji didn't want to help. He shouted at Ino and Shikamaru: "What on earth are you two thinking about!"

“These guys are really incredible!”

Shikamaru also grabbed Choji's scarf and shouted helplessly: "It's troublesome, but there's nothing we can do!"

"Ino has already rushed out, how can a few grown men like us run away from the battlefield!"

As a result, just when the battle between Team 10 and the Sound Ninja Trio was reaching a climax.

Tuoszhen finally told them the purpose of their visit.

"Our goal is neither to win those boring scrolls nor to complete the exam according to the regulations."

"It's Sasuke."

As they spoke, the Sound Ninja trio started fighting with the people of Team 10 again, but this time, the five-minute limit of Shikamaru's shadow imitation technique had expired, and both Choji and Ino had lost their ability to fight.

"Are you willing to witness the death of your companions?" Shikamaru asked.

"If the situation forces us to do so, there's nothing we can do!" Sakdeng responded coldly, aiming the air cannon in her hand at the paralyzed Jinchui. At this moment, she was controlled by Yamanaka Ino's mind-transfer technique.

"It seems we have no choice..." Shikamaru shook his head in disappointment. Choji and others also looked at the Three Sound Ninjas with dissatisfaction and helplessness.

Suddenly, a discordant shrill laugh broke the tense atmosphere.

“It’s really unpleasant to the eyes!”

"This is a niche practice of you Otoninins."

"Just because you bully a few weak people, do you think you have won?"

Toss Anvil and Sack Stirrup nervously turned their gazes to the owners of the voice - Hyuga Neji and Tenten standing on the tree branch.

At this time, Sakura's face was covered with scars, and her eyes revealed her worry about this sudden situation.

Hyuga Neji saw Rock Lee lying on the ground, seemingly seriously injured, and he opened his Byakugan in anger.

"You guys really do whatever you want."

"If you still want to play, I'll do my best!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Neji suddenly retracted his eyes, looked behind him with an inexplicable smile.

"What's wrong, Neji?!" Tenten was confused.

"It seems there is no need for us to take action." Neji said mysteriously.

"Huh?" Tiantian and the others were confused.

At this moment, a girl in an Uchiha windbreaker walked out of the bushes in the distance. Her cold expression and three magatama in her spinning scarlet eyes announced her identity. Her clothes were torn and the mottled bloodstains recorded the battles she had experienced.

"Kane!" Sakura was surprised and delighted, but then shocked by Kanane's cold expression.

"I thought he was some kind of powerful figure, but it turned out to be..." Sakdeng's sarcastic remarks came to an abrupt end, with bright red blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Because his chest had been pierced, Chidori's screams instantly resounded throughout the battlefield.

Before everyone could react, they saw Kanon's figure passing over Sakuten's chest, so fast that even Neji couldn't catch it.

"What's going on... so fast..." Shikamaru muttered to himself in astonishment. After seeing the lightning in Kanon's hand dissipate, he was even more shocked by the unknown technique she displayed.

Kanon didn't stop and walked straight towards Sakura, with no warmth in her eyes.

Sakura's eyes widened as she stared at the Uchiha girl with cold murderous intent in disbelief. This was exactly the same technique that Kakashi used when she saw him in the Land of Waves. Why did Kanon also know this technique? !

"Sakura...you've suffered a lot." Kanon gently used the palm magic to heal the wound on Sakura's face.

"Kane... I'm sorry, I didn't protect Sasuke and Naruto..." Sakura apologized tearfully.

"You've done a great job...leave the rest to me." There was determination in Hanane's voice.

A chilling murderous aura quickly spread, so strong that even Neji and the others couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Everyone watched Kanon's back in silence, and Akimichi Choji even swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

"Is this really the Uchiha Kanon we know?" Choji couldn't believe it.

"Without a doubt, it's her..." Shikamaru nodded affirmatively.

Ino was stunned. The usually friendly Uchiha Kanon, who was like the girl next door, had now become terrifying.

Facing Hanane, Sound Ninja Tosujin's fear reached its peak and his legs were shaking.

The magatama in Kanon's eyes began to glow with a strange light, but she was unaware of it, and her eyes had already formed a unique rose-shaped totem.

"How dare you hurt the person most important to me!"

"Have you figured out how to die?!"

Hanane's voice gradually became distorted, and the strong murderous intent made the people around her shudder.
