Chapter 11

【Yitsu, who used the earth escape technique, closed the hole and said proudly, "After taking this technique, there will be no trace left."】

【As soon as he finished speaking, Rock Lee descended from the sky and forced the three people to retreat. Sakura shouted and smashed the earth escape technique that trapped Naruto: "What a joke!"】

【"Konoha Whirlwind!" In the smoke and dust, Rock Lee quickly stepped forward and fought with the three people. Sakura, who rescued Naruto, also joined the battle. 】

【On the other side, Neji also successfully stopped the leader of the Four who were about to kill the miko. The blocked leader said with a little reluctance, "Is it the companion of that guy just now?"】

【It happened that the strengthening effect applied to the Four wore off at this time. Seeing that the situation was not good, the few people hurriedly withdrew from the battle. 】

【"Yitsu, find the location of Brother Kusu." Setsuna said, and with the help of Yoitsu's keen sense of smell, the three rushed to the battlefield on the other side. 】

["Has the chakra injected from their brother been used up?"]

["Is it a little less? They only used those ninjutsu."]

["Most of it should be used to strengthen their bodies. Didn't you see that their appearances have changed?"]

["It may also be that the chakra injected is too little. After all, their goal is just to kill the witch of the Demon Country. They probably didn't expect to be stopped."]

["Eight Trigrams Palm!" The leader of the four was knocked into the air by Neji, so he jumped up and joined the other three. 】

[The three people who rushed over hurriedly urged Kusu to replenish his chakra, but Sakura and Rock Lee who followed closely behind obviously would not let them have their way. 】

【"These annoying guys!"】

【"There's no way to resupply like this!"】

【"Without chakra, there's no chance of winning!"】

【"Okay, let's retreat for now."】

【The four of them explained the current situation one by one, and instead of taking the risk of continuing the mission, they jumped over the mountain wall and fled. 】

["Should we say these people are clear-headed? They are very cautious in judging the combat power of both sides. But when we think about their goal of conquering the world, we feel that they are not normal."]

["The actual combat power of this group of people is not as good as that of an ordinary ninja team! They are completely relying on that dark medical ninjutsu, right!"]

["Didn't Huang Quan say that he is a survivor of the last war, so it is understandable that his subordinates are not as strong as they used to be?"]

["Huang Quan conquered the world with the power of the monsters, not these people! Please figure it out!"]

Kakashi pointed to the sky and reminded several Genin in the conference room: "Don't trust those speeches. You have to judge for yourself which ones are valuable."

Kai nodded in agreement, and then said: "The strength of these people is still very good, but Neji, Li and Sakura performed better."

"I am so moved!" Xiao Li clenched his fists with tears.

Although she was really happy to be praised, Sakura knew that it belonged to her future self and had little to do with her now.

‘It doesn’t matter, as long as I work hard from now on, I will become that handsome one day! ’ Sakura encouraged herself secretly in her heart.

“What about me! What about me!” Naruto pointed at himself and asked Kai.

“Well, Naruto, you are very youthful! Full of energy!” Kai gave Naruto a thumbs up, grinning with his teeth shining.

“What’s this…”

【After the battle, Neji walked up to Ashio and the miko and comforted them: “Don’t worry, I’m a Konoha ninja.”】

【“Konoha…” Ashio obviously knew that Konoha would send guards, and she felt a little relieved when she heard that. 】

【At this time, the purple pattern like a kaleidoscope appeared in the pupils of the miko Shion again, and this time she saw the picture of herself as a child. 】

【"That..."】

【"What's wrong, Lady Shion." Noticing Shion's strangeness, Asuho asked hurriedly. 】

【"That...attempted to wake up again." I don't know how Shion interpreted it, but everyone in the ninja world who was looking at the sky curtain knew that what she was talking about was the monster. 】

["Why does this miko's foresight seem to be incoherent and passive?"]

["With such restrictions, the value is greatly reduced!"]

["She is just a miko from a small country. You really expect her to have strong abilities! This level is considered good."]

["But doesn't that monster look very powerful? It looks like it looks down on the five major countries. It stands to reason that the miko who can seal it should also be very strong."]

["Tsk! Everyone can brag. I also said that I am evenly matched with the Hokage.What's so great about a guy who can be sealed by a miko of a small country! "]

Although Shion hated her own power, she was somewhat dissatisfied with being looked down upon in this way. She looked at the sky curtain angrily: "These people are so annoying..."

[Everyone returned to the temple again. The miko Shion met the Konoha group in the main hall. Naruto also appeared in it intact.]

["This is the miko of the demon country, Shion-sama." The attendant Ashio introduced to the four people of Konoha.]

[The people of Konoha also introduced themselves in turn.]

["I am the captain of the seventh team of the Konoha team, Hyuga Neji."]

["I am Rock Lee."]

["I am Haruno Sakura."]

["I am Uzumaki Naruto, please take care of me. "Naruto introduced himself carelessly. Sakura, who looked at him sideways, elbowed him in the stomach as soon as he finished speaking to prevent him from saying something inappropriate next.]

["Hahaha, the way these two get along is really funny. They look quite close!"]

Sakura looked at this comment with a dark face. Naruto, who was originally a talkative person, did not dare to provoke her at this time.

[Let's not talk about Naruto and Sakura who were arguing below. Neji explained their mission to Shion: "We will protect Lady Shion to the Sealed Shrine."]

[Ashiho on the side also reported to Shion the casualties of last night in a timely manner, especially emphasizing Suzuki, whose death was predicted in advance.]

[Hearing this, Shion responded in a flat and even slightly disdainful tone: "Humph, I knew that I was safe now, and those people should be relieved."]

[Hearing Shion's ruthless response, Naruto immediately showed an angry look: "Wait a minute! ”]

[He stood up and jumped in front of Shion, grabbed her collar, glared at her and said, "Everyone died for you, what's your attitude!"]

["Hiss! Although I don't like this woman's condescending attitude, but Naruto just went up and grabbed her collar..."]

["Does this count as holding the princess hostage?"]

["Well, the situation in the Demon Country is different from other countries. This doesn't count as holding the princess hostage, it should be holding the daimyo hostage."]

["Isn't that worse!"]

["Is this guy really a ninja? He doesn't even have the basic emotional management!"]
