"Pah, Konoha's elite Jōnin!"
Kidōmaru disdainfully spat out a thick spider web, then kicked the previously arrogant and wind-like Nara Shikamaru to the ground...
As expected, just like in the story.
These two special Jōnin of Konoha are still so useless...
"Alright, Kidōmaru, we need to hurry. Don't let Orochimaru-sama wait too long!" Sakon and Ukon frowned and stopped Kidōmaru.
Having activated the curse seal, their stamina was almost completely drained...
But just then, a sharp kunai suddenly shot toward Kidōmaru!
"Huh!?"
Kidōmaru instinctively swung his arm, deflecting the kunai to the side: "Who is it?"
But no one paid attention to him. Aoi suddenly pounced out of the grass, grabbing the sealed wooden barrel beside him, smiling broadly: "Sasuke, I'm taking him!"
"No way, that kid!"
Aoi's small stature was truly too tiny. After they had just finished a fierce battle, before they could react, Aoi had stolen the barrel.
"Damn it, chase him down!"
Sakon and Ukon gritted his teeth and roared angrily: "Orochimaru-sama is still waiting for us!"
But, in just a short while of delay...
The Konoha kids had already caught up!
Naruto, Shikamaru, Inuzuka Kiba, Akimichi Chōji, and the genius of the Hyūga clan, Hyūga Neji!
The five-man squad!
"What did you do to Uncle Raido and the others!?" Inuzuka Kiba snarled with his sharp teeth.
"Where's Sasuke? Return Sasuke to us!"
Naruto raised his fist, looking righteous: "If you don't give him back, I'll start fighting!"
Suddenly, the situation exploded into chaos!
"Sasuke was just saved by a little kid wearing a Konoha forehead protector!" Sakon and Ukon shook his head coldly: "We don't have time to play with you kids now…"
"Saved him?"
Naruto's eyes widened in surprise.
"Don't fall for it!" Shikamaru sneered and shook his head: "Besides us, Konoha has no rescue team left…"
Otherwise, how could Tsunade entrust such an important mission to just a few of us?
After a moment of stunned silence, Naruto roared in anger and shame: "You guy, you actually lied to me? Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
"Damn it, these kids!"
Sakon and Ukon turned around and coldly ordered: "Jirōbō, I'm leaving these kids to you. Finish them quickly and catch up!"
"Got it, I need to replenish my chakra anyway!"
Jirōbō grinned fiercely, slamming his palms into the ground: "Earth Style: Earth Prison Wall!"
A huge semi-circular earth prison suddenly rose, trapping all the Konoha kids inside.
At this moment, aside from the unexpected Aoi, the plot seemed to be back on track...
And the only surprise in this scene was that after Aoi grabbed the sealed barrel, he immediately activated the Third Gate of the Eight Gates, with a faint green steam of chakra erupting out.
Aoi's speed surged to the level of a special Jōnin...
Although those guys were strong, they were ultimately not Jōnin. Maybe after activating the curse seal, they had the strength to defeat a special Jōnin. But during the long journey, they were just ordinary Chūnin!
Moreover, they had just gone through a fierce battle. The speed of the Sound Four was only going to slow down even more!
With Aoi's current speed, there was no way they could stop him. And more than that...
"Bang..."
Aoi unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back, and drank the faint green energy potion. The exhaustion from long-term use of the Eight Gates was instantly wiped out!
"Come on, let me see what I can really do?"
Aoi grinned and sped off in the opposite direction of Konoha...
