He roared, "Everyone, put in more effort! This guy is almost finished!"
"When we catch him, I won't take a single cent of the bounty; it will all be divided equally among the brothers!"
"Kill!" With the stimulation of money, the battle cries were earth-shaking, echoing through the forest.
As time passed, the opponent's speed gradually slowed down, as if he really couldn't run anymore.
But Inada Takuma's side also paid with four more lives, including Mikami Haruna, who had been responsible for sensing.
Fortunately, the distance between the two sides finally closed to a hundred meters, and they could see each other without needing sensing.
Inada Takuma finally saw clearly the culprit who had been hunting them down.
He saw a very handsome youth in the distance, holding a huge Chakra Spirit Bow, staring at them with cold eyes.
"Kid! I'm going to tear you into ten thousand pieces!"
Inada Takuma's eyes were blood-red, his teeth clenched. Holding his Ninja Blade and pointing at Aokawa ahead, he roared with a sinister grin, "At all costs, catch him for me!"
"Kill!"
Having chased to this distance, the group also went all out, no longer reserving their stamina, sprinting with all their might.
Running at full speed, the front three even continuously used the Body Flicker Technique, suddenly closing the distance and lunging in front of Aokawa.
Just as they pulled out their Ninja Tools with hideous expressions, ready to capture Aokawa...
His figure blurred for a split second.
In the next moment, like a ghost, he had already appeared dozens of meters away.
At the same time, three Chakra Arrows arrived later but struck first, accurately piercing the three Ninjas who were charging at the very front.
Inada Takuma felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, and he instantly woke up.
Movement techniques of this speed... where did he look like his strength was exhausted?
Damn it!
This dog-thing was acting for me.
He looked around; with only seven people left in the team, he calmed down in an instant.
They couldn't chase anymore. High movement speed combined with long-range shooting was invincible in this forest.
"Retreat, we're not doing this bounty anymore." Inada Takuma made a prompt decision, stopped his steps, and turned to leave.
"Captain, it's just a little bit more." Mizutani Yūya looked at the bounty that was already within reach, feeling unwilling, and tried to stop Inada Takuma.
"To hell with your 'little bit more'!" Inada Takuma was instantly filled with rage. If it weren't for this dog-thing, he would have retreated long ago.
Thinking of this, he was suddenly overcome with fury, and his pent-up rage exploded instantly.
Under Mizutani Yūya's disbelieving eyes, he stabbed a blade ruthlessly into his heart: "Go die for me!"
Pulling out the blood-stained Ninja Blade, Inada Takuma roared at his remaining six stunned subordinates: "What are you still standing there for! Retreat!"
The group felt as if they had been granted a grand pardon. Following Inada Takuma, the seven people fled down the mountain like stray dogs.
Seeing this from a distance, Aokawa felt a bit of regret.
His last move was still a bit too ruthless; the flaw had been seen through.
He made a'safe' gesture toward the mountain peak, and then unhurriedly trailed far behind Inada Takuma's group.
Continuously using Hirenkyaku and Holy Arrow, his body needed to recover a little.
He also had to prevent the enemy from becoming desperate... on the mountain peak.
Hyuga Fū didn't wake up from his daze until he saw Aokawa's gesture.
One person against thirty, among whom there was even a Jonin.
He had forcefully transformed himself from prey into a hunter, killing thirty people until only seven stray dogs remained.
This kind of terrifying hunting ability.
Thinking about how he had just wanted to lead the enemies away, he couldn't help but find it a bit funny.
Fortunately, Aokawa had stopped him in time.
Otherwise, besides becoming a burden that would affect his performance, he wouldn't have been of much use.
His son's strength improvement was becoming more and more exaggerated.
It seemed he really should stay at home in the future and try not to come out to make his son worry.
This family no longer needed him to work so desperately.
He shook his head, suppressed these thoughts for the time being, and turned to the oblivious Kurenai Yuhi beside him: "Kurenai, let's go down and meet up."
On the other side, Inada Takuma was leading his only six remaining subordinates, frantically fleeing down the mountain along the path they came.
Having lost their sensing Ninja, they were like headless flies, only able to flee by relying on memory and survival instinct.
Their eyes, however, couldn't help but frequently glance back, for fear that the life-taking Chakra Arrow would whistle through the air again.
Just then, on the road ahead of them, leaves all over the sky began to spin and dance without any warning, making a soft rustling sound.
And then they slowly began to condense...
