Chapter 162 Xiao Li vs Kimimaro

Xiao Li's eyes narrowed, feeling the pressure from Kimimaro. He would never give up on Sasuke. Naruto had already left, and he couldn't watch Sasuke leave him again.

Then, Xiao Li once again activated the power of the Speed ​​Fruit, and rushed out like lightning, trying to quickly break through Kimimaro's blockade. Kimimaro looked surprised, he really didn't expect that the boy in tights in front of him could have such an amazing speed. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and became more vigilant towards Xiao Li.

Then, Kimimaro stretched out his hands, and the phalanges of his ten fingers shot towards Xiao Li like bullets. The phalanges cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound. Xiao Li was forced to dodge when he felt the phalanges flying rapidly behind him. He flashed and shuttled between the phalanges like a nimble flying swallow. However, Kimimaro's attack did not stop, and the phalanges continued to shoot out, putting Xiao Li in a passive situation.

Xiao Li was anxious, he knew that this was not a solution. He had to find a way to break through Kimimaro's blockade and continue chasing Sasuke.

Xiao Li's eyes were stern, and he increased his speed again, shuttling back and forth around Kimimaro like a flash of lightning, trying to find an opportunity to break through. However, Kimimaro was not moved at all, and calmly observed Xiao Li's actions, waving his hands continuously, and his knuckles shot towards Xiao Li like a rainstorm.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!" The knuckles rubbed against the air, making sharp sounds. Xiao Li dodged left and right, facing danger all around. But he did not retreat at all, with only one thought in his mind, that is to catch up with Sasuke.

Suddenly, Xiao Li paused, as if he had thought of something. He decided not to dodge anymore, but to face Kimimaro head-on. He took a deep breath, increased his speed to the extreme, and rushed towards Kimimaro. Seeing this, Kimimaro raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.

"You don't know your own limits." Kimimaro shouted, and swung his hands violently, and more finger bones flew towards Xiao Li. However, Xiao Li was not afraid at all. At the moment when he was about to touch the finger bones, he used his strongest move - Eight Gates Ninjutsu.

A powerful airflow burst out around Xiao Li's body, and his speed and strength instantly increased to a terrifying level. Like a god of war, he broke through Kimimaro's finger bone attack and slammed into Kimimaro fiercely. Kimimaro's face changed, and he hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was too late.

"Bang!" Xiao Li hit Kimimaro hard, and the powerful impact knocked Kimimaro away. Kimimaro rolled several times in the air before he managed to stabilize his body. He looked at Xiao Li with surprise in his eyes.

"I didn't expect you to be so powerful." Kimimaro said calmly.

"I won't let you stop me from going after Sasuke," Lee said firmly.

Junmaru snorted coldly and launched another attack. Countless bone spurs appeared around his body, like a hedgehog. He rushed towards Xiao Li, and the bone spurs shot towards Xiao Li like sharp arrows.

Xiao Li was not afraid. He used the Eight Gates of Dunjia again and started a fierce battle with Kimimaro. The two sides fought back and forth, neither of them giving in. The battle entered a white-hot stage, and no one could easily gain the upper hand.

Seeing that the attack was in vain, Kimimaro no longer hesitated. He instantly entered the first state of the curse seal, and the black curse seal instantly covered Kimimaro's body like a snake. The curse seal exuded a strange aura, as if it came from the abyss of darkness. Kimimaro's aura instantly became more violent and powerful, and his eyes became colder and crueler.

Xiao Li felt the strong pressure coming from Kimimaro, and his heart tightened. He knew that Kimimaro was even more difficult to deal with now. But he did not retreat at all.

Kimimaro stopped talking nonsense. He flashed and appeared in front of Xiao Li in an instant. His speed was faster than before, and his strength was even stronger. Xiao Li dodged in a hurry, but Kimimaro's attack followed him like a shadow, making it difficult for him to resist.

"Puff" Kimimaro's bone spur instantly pierced Xiao Li's shoulder and knocked him straight out. Xiao Li rolled several times in the air before he managed to stabilize his body. Severe pain came from Xiao Li's shoulder, and his face turned pale instantly.

Just as Kimimaro stretched out his right hand and wanted to deal with Xiao Li, a yellow figure instantly appeared in front of Kimimaro. The figure kicked Kimimaro's arm, and the finger bone aimed at Xiao Li also shot into the sky.

When Kimimaro saw the person coming, he immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Sir."

Naruto looked at Kimimaro with a smile. In the original drama, Kimimaro fought with Gaara and Lee, which aggravated his illness and caused him to die in the battle. When Orochimaru sent Kimimaro in the Sound Village, Naruto was also by his side. Feeling Kimimaro's strength, Naruto naturally would not let him die. Then Naruto followed behind Kimimaro, and when he saw the battle between Kimimaro and Lee, Naruto even had the idea of ​​​​subduing Kimimaro.

"Kimimaro, let's leave it at that for now. Leave the rest to me." Then Naruto looked at Rock Lee, walked up to him and helped him up.

Xiao Li looked at Naruto, with a hint of surprise and gratitude in his eyes. "Naruto, why are you here?" Xiao Li asked.

Then he saw Kimimaro's attitude towards Naruto. Lee looked at Naruto in shock and said, "Naruto, have you really betrayed Konoha by teaming up with Orochimaru?"

Naruto chuckled, "Little Lee, there are no eternal enemies in this world. The disaster is coming. I have some deals with Orochimaru. Don't worry, I will never be an enemy of Konoha."

Xiao Li frowned, his face full of confusion and worry. "Naruto, what is the disaster? Why did you make a deal with Orochimaru? It's too dangerous."

Naruto looked solemn, looking into the distance. "Little Lee, there are some things I can't tell you now, but I assure you that everything I do is to protect Konoha and our partners. Although Orochimaru is evil, in some ways, we have the same goals."

Xiao Li was silent for a moment. He knew that Naruto had always been a man who valued friendship and loyalty, and would not easily betray Konoha. "Naruto, I believe you. But you must be careful. Orochimaru cannot be trusted."

About ten minutes later, Shikamaru and the others came to Xiao Li. Looking at Xiao Li who was still immersed in his thoughts, Shikamaru frowned slightly, walked up to him and gently patted Xiao Li on the shoulder.

"Xiao Li, what happened? Why are you sitting here alone?" Shikamaru asked with concern.

Xiao Li slowly raised his head, with a trace of confusion in his eyes. "Shikamaru, Naruto...he teamed up with Orochimaru."

Shikamaru and the others were all shocked when they heard this, and looked at each other, unable to believe their ears.
