Yoshikawa Iwa stood at the very back of the group, his voice already hoarse from shouting.
"Scatter! Everyone, scatter!"
He waved his arms frantically, his eyes filled with anger mixed with a trace of fear.
The image of that massive flaming Chakra Arrow exploding in the middle of the crowd just now was branded into his mind like a hot iron.
Those subordinates who had charged at the very front didn't even have time to scream before they were turned into charred corpses by the blast.
At the thought of this, he subconsciously slowed his pace.
Another Chakra Arrow shot toward them from ahead.
Boom!
The sound of an explosion rang out, and three Cloud Hidden Ninjas in front were sent flying.
This terrifying explosion made all the pursuers feel a chill in their hearts; they subconsciously scattered their formation, and their pursuit speed couldn't help but slow down.
Yoshikawa Iwa crawled up from the ground, covered in dust, and continued to hide behind the crowd, pointing forward with his finger.
"Chase! Catch up to them!"
His voice was sharp and piercing, yet he never once left his position at the very back of the group.
Up ahead.
The trio of Aokawa sped along, seeing the Cloud Ninjas closing in from ahead to intercept them getting closer and closer.
He pulled the bowstring taut, and a crimson Chakra Arrow flew off the string, accurately plunging into the densest part of the intercepting Cloud Ninjas.
Boom!
The explosion instantly flipped seven or eight Cloud Hidden Ninjas, with severed limbs and blood splattering everywhere.
Immediately following, a powerful Aura suddenly erupted from Might Guy, who was charging at the very front.
"Youth is meant to burn in the face of adversity! Eight Gates: First Gate, the Gate of Opening, Open!"
He turned into a bolt of lightning, fiercely crashing into the intercepting formation ahead.
"Leaf Whirlwind!"
His movements were fast to the extreme, and a whip-like leg sweep swung out with the sound of breaking air.
Several Cloud Hidden Ninjas blocking the front didn't have time to react at all before they were kicked flying by a massive force, knocking down a large number of their companions along the way.
A solid encirclement was forcefully torn open by him.
Uchiha Shisui followed closely behind, his three-tomoe Sharingan spinning rapidly.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
His figure flickered several times, and several phantoms appeared around the pursuers simultaneously, each looking exactly like Shisui.
A Cloud Hidden Ninja raised a Kunai to stab the Shisui in front of him, only to find it was an afterimage.
But as he prepared to turn around, the Ninja Blade in the hand of this "afterimage" drew a simple arc and stabbed into his heart.
"On the left!"
"No, it's on the right!"
"There's one behind too!"
The crowd fell into chaos, colliding with each other, and their formation was completely disrupted.
The Cloud Hidden Ninjas ahead were left dizzy and dazed by his ghost-like movement technique, unable to form an effective encirclement at all.
Aokawa trailed at the very back, focusing on dealing with the pursuers behind.
Now that the pursuers behind had scattered, it was no longer cost-effective to purely use Explosive Flame Arrows.
Therefore, he switched to single-point shots with ordinary Holy Arrows, occasionally mixing in an Explosive Flame Arrow.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Every Chakra Arrow seemed to have eyes, specifically targeting those Cloud Hidden Ninjas who were chasing most aggressively.
Yoshikawa Iwa hid at the back of the crowd, watching his subordinates fall one by one, trembling with rage.
