In the dark forest, there is a deep silence.

Tall shrubs and jungles are everywhere, and even in the afternoon, most of the sun is still hidden.

The three of the seventh class walked in the dark forest, keeping the ninja alertness because of some vigilance. Uchiha Sasuke looked around from time to time, using the insight of the Sharingan to explore the surroundings.

For some reason, he always felt a creepy feeling in his heart, like a prey targeted by some kind of mollusc reptile, making him restless.

"Sasuke, are you okay!" Naruto keenly noticed his condition and asked in a low voice.

Because of his childhood experience of fishing with Xuan, his mood is far beyond ordinary people, and he feels keen on the emotional changes of people around him. Even if he is not as good as his state after learning the Immortal Mode in a few years, he is stronger than most detective ninjas.

"I'm fine." Uchiha Sasuke said in a deep voice, his eyes kept looking around, and uneasiness appeared in it.

"..." Naruto couldn't help but remain silent. Facing Sasuke's attitude, he really couldn't say anything more.

"Who?" Suddenly, Sasuke, who was moving forward, shouted loudly, and the kunai in his hand took action without hesitation, drew a cold light in the dark forest and sank into the bushes in the distance.

A figure appeared immediately, and several leaps came from the bushes to the trunk, making a gloomy and strange laughter, "You can actually find my existence in my disguise. It seems to be a master of Konoha's younger generation. Give you a chance to hand over the scroll, and I can spare your life."

Uchiha Sasuke looked up, the blood-red double topus in his eyes had appeared, and he whispered: "It's the ninja of Taki Ninja Village, and he has not found his companion for the time being."

Naruto and Sakura had appeared on his side at the same time, automatically posing in a regular ninja formation to prevent sneak attacks from other directions.

Taki Ninja Village is also an extremely special among the many villages in the ninja world. The reason is very simple. They are the only village with tailed beasts except for the five major countries.

This indirectly proves their strength. According to unreliable secret rumors, it is even said that the Taki Ninja Village was founded earlier than Konoha, and they were the first ninja village in the true sense. However, there has been no verification yet.

But no matter what, the village's strong strength is undeniable.

"I'll kill him, Naruto, Sakura, pay attention to the movement around him, because he should have two companions who haven't shown up."

With a quick sound, Sasuke rushed up in an instant, and a kunai got on the move again, and the double guegua in her pupils was cold and ruthless.

"A little devil looking for death!" Takien sneered, his hands formed seals in an instant, and chakra quickly condensed.

"Water escape, water arrow technique!"

The chakra water arrows condensed in front of themselves, and then shot out in an instant, attacking the rushing towards Uchiha Sasuke.

The Sharingan turned slightly, and Sasuke's face was expressionless, but his figure accelerated in an instant, almost a phantom appeared, moving parallel to the tree trunk, avoiding the water arrow by a slight difference.

A hint of surprise appeared on Takinuin's face. At this time, Sasuke's figure had come to him, and Kuwu, who was shining with a cold light, stabbed directly.

"Surrender, you have offended someone you shouldn't have offended."

Takien's mouth raised, and his surprised expression turned into a sneer in an instant, but his body took a light step back at the same time. Suddenly, Sasuke's water-attributed Chakra Damizuki was at the foot of Sasuke. Countless water vapor condensed, hovering and turning into a water prison, trapping him in an instant.

"Water escape, water prison technique!"

Takien made seals with both hands, looked at Sasuke who was unable to move in the water prison, and smiled proudly, "Idiot, I set up a trap long before you came. The figure I was hiding when I was deliberately leaking, just to lead you up to this tree.

Haha, this forest is full of water because it is not sunny all year round, and it is especially suitable for our water escape ninja battles.”

He was contented and kept his seals facing downwards Naruto and Sakura, saying, "Hey, your two companions have been caught by me. If you don't want something to happen to him, hand over the scroll!"

While talking, two figures appeared in the other two places in the woods, surrounding them with horns, and they also wore the forehead of Taki Ninja Village on their foreheads.

One of them smiled and said, "Mucao, you're doing well, let's leave these two guys to solve."

Naruto looked around and looked up and smiled, "Did you make a mistake? It's a bit too early to declare victory now."

"What?" The ninja on the tree said in confusion, and suddenly discovered that the figure in the water prison had turned into a dead tree at some point.

"When is the stand-in technique?"

"Of course it was at the beginning!" A cold voice sounded, Kyuubi was on his neck, and a trace of blood slowly overflowed, and Uchiha Sasuke's figure appeared behind him.

"You are so naive to play this trick in front of the Sharingan." Sasuke shouted down again, "Now the situation has changed. If you want your companions to survive, hand over the scroll."

"Bastard!" The two Takien below said angrily, looking at each other but there was no good way.

...

Pa~pa~

Suddenly, a crisp applause sounded, and it was particularly clear in the quiet forest, and the whole world seemed to be silent at the same time.

quiet!

Extreme quiet!

The invisible pressure around him emerged, and it was extremely heavy. The occasional bird song and insect sounds that appeared also disappeared at the same time. There was no other sound except the applause.

The cold sweat behind Sasuke suddenly overflowed. He himself didn't know why, and the hairs all over his body stood up at the same time, and the Sharingan of the double magma looked to the right.

There, a ninja wearing a hat appeared and was slowly applauding, with a gray-white robe tied with a hemp rope around his waist.

"Very beautiful tactics and perfect eyes. Uchiha Sasuke, I am worthy of being the one I like, and it is indeed extraordinary."

A cold and snake-like voice sounded, and the ninja wearing a hat looked up. It was a gloomy face, with a cold smile on it, and that gaze was like a poisonous snake looking at its prey.
