"Alright, then we'll act separately!" Kakashi agreed to Kaoru's suggestion, and the two people transformed into two black shadows, and ran towards different directions in the forest.
"Very well then, I can use that move now!" Kaoru's running figure stopped after separating from Kakashi, and this forest was so large, and he naturally couldn't slowly grope around like this, and otherwise it would be too troublesome.
"Hawk Strike from the Sky!" Kaoru summoned the Ice Bow and Arrow, and shot the Hawk Spirit towards the sky, and the Hawk Spirit cried out lightly, and began to circle within this dense forest to check the situation below.
And Kaoru chose a hidden place to hide, and waited for the Hawk Spirit to transmit the message back to him.
The Hawk Spirit's vision was very wide and very precise, and the situation of the entire forest was already in Kaoru's grasp very quickly.
There was a group of ninjas, who were wearing demon masks, walking slowly towards the small stream at the very center of this forest at this time.
"They're probably the Hannya Troupe since they're wearing demon masks....."
Kaoru thought to himself inwardly, and this group of Hannya Troupe from the Land of Woods was being led by the three people at the front, and although the one who was walking at the very front was wearing a demon mask, it could be seen that she was a woman from her figure.
This group of Hannya Troupe had come with a total of dozens of people, and it could be seen that they weren't just coming to trade the scroll, and there were regulations between countries, and the number of people couldn't exceed five at most for a mission like trading the scroll, and Guy and the others only had four people, and the Hannya Troupe had directly come with a group, and their rebellious intentions were self-evident.
Then, the Hannya Troupe's footsteps stopped, and it seemed that they were discussing something.
"Hmm, what kind of trick are they playing?" Kaoru thought while frowning his eyebrows.
The group of Hannya Troupe from the Land of Woods suddenly split into three groups and acted separately after a moment, and they each separated dozens of people to the left and right to encircle and outflank towards the small stream, and only three people in the middle continued to advance straight towards the small stream.
"I see now, and they've specifically sent out three people to pretend to trade the scroll, and the other two groups of people are advancing from the side, and are trying to ambush from behind!"
Kaoru thought through the plan of the Hannya Troupe from the Land of Woods in an instant.
"However, one of the two teams that the Hannya Troupe has sent out to outflank from the side will run into Kakashi along the way if things continue like this, and Kakashi will definitely not let them off with his personality, and if that's the case, then I'll take care of the other team!"
Kaoru hurriedly ran towards the Hannya Troupe team that was on the right after thinking up to this point.
At this time, within the Hannya Troupe team that was outflanking towards the right.
"Everyone should run faster for me, and we must arrive at the rear before the leader arrives at the small stream, and take down the Leaf Village's ninjas in one fell swoop from the side!"
A Hannya Troupe ninja, who was running at the very front, instructed the other ninjas.
However, a person appeared before the road just when they were shuttling through the forest.
"Boss, and there's a little brat in front!" One of the sharp-eyed Hannya Troupe ninjas saw the Kaoru who was not far away.
Kaoru had a look of composure at this time, and he was standing before the Hannya Troupe team just like that, and was waiting for them to run towards this side.
"Hmm?" That Hannya Troupe ninja, who was being called the boss, also discovered the Kaoru who was wearing an eagle-faced mask in front.
"A little brat, who's wearing a mask, has appeared halfway, and there's definitely a problem with this!" This boss said in a low voice, and then instructed a Hannya Troupe ninja who was beside him, "You go and take care of him, and don't let him escape!"
"Yes!" That Hannya Troupe ninja received his order, and then exerted strength under his feet, and charged out from within the team first, and attacked towards Kaoru.
"Courting death....." Kaoru harrumphed lightly, and flipped his wrist, and a kunai had already appeared in his hand, and then he moved his left hand, and launched this kunai towards the Hannya Troupe ninja who was charging over.
"It's very easy to dodge an attack that's this blatant!" This Hannya Troupe ninja harrumphed in a low voice, and slightly twisted his body, and dodged this move of attack.
"Splat!" A muffled sound rang out, and the kunai stabbed into the ground behind this Hannya Troupe.
"Hmph, I already said that I can dodge your attack very easily....."
This Hannya Troupe ninja was just preparing to show off, but was surprised to discover that Kaoru's figure had disappeared at an unknown time!
"Strange, and where did this little brat run off to....." This Hannya Troupe looked towards the front, and still didn't find any traces of Kaoru.
"Dangerous, and he's behind you!"
This group of Hannya Troupe ninjas' boss let out a burst of exclamations, and he had clearly seen that Kaoru had almost teleported to beside that kunai the moment that the kunai had just stabbed into the ground, and the speed was completely beyond his imagination.
The naked eyes of this group of Hannya Troupe hadn't captured any of Kaoru's movements at all, and it was as if he had been standing there from the start.
This was precisely Kaoru's Flying Thunder God Technique, and he had never used this move on an enemy before, but he had already gone through a long period of practice, and he was considerably skilled in using it now.
"When!" That Hannya Troupe ninja, who had attacked towards Kaoru, was already unable to react, and Kaoru lightly kicked up the kunai that was stabbed on the ground, and then turned around and stabbed it fiercely into the back of that Hannya Troupe ninja's head.
"Cough cough....."
This Hannya Troupe ninja coughed lightly twice, and then fell onto the ground, and died, and he hadn't used even one ninjutsu from start to finish, and had even died before getting close to Kaoru.
"I've taken care of one!"
Kaoru turned his head around after killing this ninja, and looked at the other Hannya Troupe ninjas with a pair of cold eyes.
"Boss....." The other Hannya Troupe ninjas were somewhat hesitant to move forward after seeing that Kaoru had killed one of their companions so easily.
"Damn it, and I'll go myself!" This Hannya Troupe boss cursed in a low voice, and then walked out from within the team.
"Full Sky Shuriken Technique!" The Hannya Troupe boss shouted loudly, and then he waved both of his hands and launched dozens of shuriken towards Kaoru all at once.
"The shuriken technique is so terrible, and do you think that you can win by only relying on quantity?"
Kaoru mocked in a low voice, and he directly activated the Sharingan, and dodged all of them easily with just a few dodges after seeing the trajectory of every shuriken clearly.
"You little brat truly has a few tricks, but you can only go up to here!" The Hannya Troupe ninja cried out strangely, and then formed hand seals with both of his hands again: "Earth Style, Fissure Earth Turn Palm!"
The ground directly began to crack open outwards from a fissure with his palms as the starting point, and extended towards the place where Kaoru was standing after completing forming hand seals, and this Hannya Troupe boss clapped his palms onto the ground.
"You want me to fall into the ground fissure? How naive!" Kaoru harrumphed coldly, and stomped his feet, and leaped up high directly.
"Bang!" And the ground where Kaoru had been standing previously had also completely been opened with a fissure that was one meter wide.
"Haha, I was waiting for you to jump up!" That Hannya Troupe boss instead revealed an expression of his plan having succeeded after seeing that Kaoru had dodged this move, and then he retracted his hands, and formed hand seals again: "Earth Style, Rock Pillar Thrust!"
A booming sound rang out from within the ground fissure where Kaoru's figure was, and dozens of densely packed rock earth thorns stretched out from within it instantly, and stabbed towards Kaoru.
"It's a success!" Not only this Hannya Troupe boss, but smiles had also surfaced on the faces of the group of ninjas behind him, and the combination of these two Earth Style ninjutsu was precisely their boss's signature move, and their boss had killed an unknown number of enemy ninjas with these two moves.
