Chapter 140: The Plan to Burn the Forest

In the midst of the pursuit, Aoki managed to trap and kill another enemy with a clever trap. Now, Aoki had taken down two of the nine enemies chasing him. However, the remaining eight ninjas still relentlessly pursued him without hesitation.

Sweat soaked Aoki's face, and his breath came in ragged gasps. He knew he couldn't hold out much longer.

"This Mist Breathing technique is really half-baked... I can't even use it to avoid large Ninjutsu," Aoki thought. If a long-range attack like a fireball or wind bullet hit, this technique wouldn't be enough to save him.

As Aoki leaped over a small stream, he realized he could no longer keep running. His muscles tensed, and the Natural Energy within his body began to dwindle.

But Aoki didn't give up. He looked ahead, his eyes catching the dense shadows of towering trees.

"This forest could be my refuge. I just need to use every corner of it," Aoki thought calmly.

Aoki then stomped hard on the ground, propelling his body toward the large trees.

From behind the mist, Aoki gripped his sword tightly. He knew that the only way to escape this situation was to buy time until the mist thoroughly confused his enemies.

The sound of footsteps grew louder. Aoki controlled his breathing, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

"Damn it! The masked man disappeared again!" one of the women shouted, her face turning red with deep frustration. She slammed her fist against a nearby tree, producing a loud sound that seemed like it could shatter the trunk.

"That man is so damn annoying, a coward like him is giving us all a hard time! Why don't we just use all the Fire Ninjutsu we have and burn this forest to the ground?" suggested a man beside her, his voice filled with irritation. "If the masked man is still here, he'll definitely have trouble. Once he comes out of the forest, we can strike him directly!"

One of the women shook her head, her face filled with doubt. "But what if he uses Water Ninjutsu to put out the fire we create? Wouldn't that just turn the tables on us?"

Another man, who had been silent up until now, stared at the woman with sharp eyes. "That's a good point," he said quietly, realizing that they needed to come up with a more effective plan.

A younger man furrowed his brow and spoke in confusion. "So what should we do? We're still stuck in this forest, unable to kill the masked man, while two of us have already been killed."

The eight of them exchanged looks, each one's face showing clear signs of confusion and frustration.

Their plans seemed to always fail, and they no longer knew what to do. Every strategy they tried repeatedly didn't yield results, and the masked man continued to evade them with speed and cunning they hadn't anticipated.

However, on the other side of the forest, Aoki stood hidden among the trees, his body perfectly concealed in the shadows. Aoki watched their movements carefully, already planning his next step.

Inside Aoki's mind, his thoughts raced as he quickly pieced together a strategy to face the inevitable assault. Aoki knew that one wrong move would end very badly for him.

For this reason, Aoki began to formulate a plan. He would slowly guide all the enemies to surround the forest around the edge of the Hell Valley.
