"Nonsense." Shenyue Xingyun's face darkened.
"That guy probably just wants to be promoted to Chunin."
The two of them pursed their lips, it was unclear whether they believed it or not.
Continue on your way.
This time, they were finally no longer attacked by snakes and insects.
"The road ahead should be easier," Sarutobi Asuma said.
Upon hearing this, Kurenai couldn't help but say, "Asuma, don't talk nonsense."
"Have you forgotten about the last mission?"
Sarutobi Asuma's face stiffened.
"That's a coincidence. A coincidence!"
"I'm not a jinx, how could I possibly—" "Roar!!!" A huge roar came from the distant forest.
A series of muffled rumbling sounds came from the ground, accompanied by a faint tremor. Birds took flight in fright, and small animals scurried away as the rumbling sound rapidly approached.
Kurenai Yuhi glared at him: "Asuma! You still say you're not a jinx!"
Sarutobi Asuma was on the verge of tears.
Shenyue Xingyun: "Stop talking and get out of the way."
The rapidly approaching tremors grew stronger, and the group dared not be careless. They kept tapping their feet on the tree trunks and quickly moved to the side.
Based on the direction from which the vibrations came, the owner of the roar should have avoided them.
However, before they could run very far, with another roar, the source of the tremor suddenly shifted and continued to approach the three of them.
"What's going on!?" Sarutobi Asuma asked in surprise.
"Are they here for us?"
As they spoke, the source of the tremor drew near.
They saw clearly that it was a huge brown bear, five or six meters tall.
The opponent stood up like a moving house, almost as tall as a tree trunk, roaring as it opened its blood-red maw, its eyes fierce.
"I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" Sarutobi Asuma immediately sensed something was wrong.
"This thing is coming for us."
"What should we do?"
The size difference is too great; there's no way to fight.
Five or six meters in height may not sound like much, and it can't compare to the terrifying height of the legendary tailed beasts, which are tens or hundreds of meters tall. But only when you face it in person will you know how terrifying a five or six-meter-tall behemoth is.
Given the size of the three people, if they stood in front of the giant bear, they wouldn't even be able to reach its crotch; their entire bodies wouldn't be much bigger than one of the bear's paws.
Explosive tags and shuriken are a joke in the face of a behemoth.
Gripping the twin blades tightly in his hands, Sarutobi Asuma was genuinely panicked.
His double-edged swords weren't powerful enough to "cut through rock," and he really wasn't confident against the giant bear before him.
Wait a minute! He has another trick up his sleeve!
As if he had just thought of something, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes narrowed, and then he shouted at Shinzuki Seiun and Yuhi Kurenai.
"You two, step back!"
"Leave it to me!"
Then, to the astonishment of the two, Sarutobi Asuma stood on the tree, his hands forming a hand seal.
"Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning!"
"Hiss~"
Chakra transformed into wisps of smoke and was exhaled from Sarutobi Asuma's mouth.
He stood atop a tall tree trunk, exhaling smoke as he dodged the giant bear's attacks.
Sarutobi Asuma's heart was pounding.
Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning is a B-rank ninjutsu, and it's a high-level ninjutsu that he obtained after humbling himself and begging his old man for a long time.
Although the cultivation was very difficult, through his unremitting efforts, he was able to barely release it.
Today, he will prove his strength in front of Kurenai Yuhi and Seiun Kamitsuki!
Overwhelmed with excitement, Sarutobi Asuma frantically channeled his chakra, but whether it was the movement interfering with the chakra release of the fish-man or the giant bear's sheer size, it was unclear.
The smoke exhaled from its mouth was like swirling clouds in front of the giant bear, unable to completely envelop it.
It looks like a giant bear is smoking.
"Roar!!!" With a furious roar, a powerful shockwave dispersed the smoke.
"Asuma! Get out of the way!" Shingetsu Nebula shouted a warning from the side. As soon as he spoke, the giant bear lunged forward, its body suddenly bursting through the smoke.
Sarutobi Asuma was terrified and quickly sprang up from his spot. The next second, the tree trunk he had just been standing on exploded into dust under the bear's paw.
Shenyue Nebula shouted again, "Scatter!"
"Run separately!"
Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai didn't hesitate and quickly dodged to the side. Sarutobi Asuma, in particular, jumped faster than a rabbit. He had almost been pounced on by the giant bear, and now his face was pale and his back was covered in cold sweat.
After running a few steps, sensing that the roaring sound behind him wasn't catching up, he stopped and turned around to observe. He discovered that although Shingetsu Nebula was dodging, she hadn't moved from her original position like he and Yuhi Kurenai.
"This guy! Is he thinking of being alone again?" Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but feel a chill.
Recalling the last time, when the other party also let him and Kurenai escape from the enemy's trap first, while he stayed behind to cover the rear, a sincere admiration rose from the bottom of his heart.
He quickly ran to Kurenai's side. "Kurenai, did you bring explosive tags?"
Kurenai nodded, then asked worriedly, "What are you going to do?"
Sarutobi Asuma: "We can't let Nebula deal with this big guy alone."
"Give me the detonating tag first, let me see if I have a chance to use it on it."
Upon hearing this, Kurenai Yuhi did not hesitate and handed both explosive tags to Asuma Sarutobi.
Be careful.
"Let me see if I can cast an illusion."
Meanwhile, the Divine Moon Nebula is dealing with the giant bear.
He wasn't deliberately letting Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai go first while he stayed behind; he was testing his own ideas.
The three of them were roughly at the same distance from the giant bear, but as the two stopped entangled with him, the giant bear immediately fixed its gaze on him.
And he never looked at the other two again.
Therefore, the giant bear's only target is itself!
Looking at the crazed giant bear before him, Shenyue Xingyun became even more certain of his guess.
Why would the other party target me? Is it because I possess something special?
He had already thrown away the shoes and didn't remember coming into contact with anything else during his journey.
Just then, his eyes narrowed and a thought flashed through his mind!
wrong!
Before entering the Forest of Death, that guy Mizuki had been here!
He remembered that sudden fragrance. At the time, he thought the other person had sprayed some perfume or skincare product. Now that he thought about it, the other person had already made their move back then!
To further verify his hypothesis, he leaped backward to avoid the giant bear's paws, then took off his ninja jacket and threw it violently to the side.
The giant bear was indeed taken aback for a moment.
Then, it approached the clothes that Shenyue Xingyun had thrown out and sniffed them repeatedly. A look of confusion appeared in its reddened bear eyes.
Then, it looked at the Divine Moon Nebula again, and as if enraged, roared once more.
"Roar!!!"
The roar was deafening.
"Nebula, run!" At that moment, Sarutobi Asuma, holding a short blade in one hand and two explosive tags in the other, quickly approached.
The Divine Moon Nebula did not run away.
After determining the reason for being chased, he looked at the roaring giant bear in front of him and suddenly raised the long sword in his hand!
