Chapter 141: What Are You Waiting For

The forest was dark and filled with tree roots protruding from the ground, creating a slippery and treacherous path. 

After leading them in circles and ensuring that the women in Hell's Valley had finished dealing with their enemies, Aoki planned to guide all his pursuers toward Hell's Valley. 

Aoki was now carefully observing the enemies' movements, ensuring that no one detected the trap being set. Time felt as if it was crawling, with every second filled with tension. 

Then, with deliberate and steady steps, Aoki began to execute his plan. 

Aoki swiftly swung from tree branches with incredible speed, his body moving as gracefully as a shadow darting across the sky. Without a moment's hesitation, he threw several Explosive Kunai with pinpoint accuracy toward his pursuers. 

One explosion after another roared through the air, but Aoki's enemies did not remain idle. They quickly reacted, dodging the attacks with agility equal to his own. Anticipating this response, Aoki gracefully twisted his body and shot forward, running through the dense forest. 

Seeing the masked man fleeing, the pursuers immediately chased after him with coordinated steps. However, their path was often blocked by fallen trees or the fractured ground left in the wake of the Kunai's explosions. 

Aoki ran with nearly invisible speed, his body gliding like an unstoppable gust of wind. From time to time, he hurled another Explosive Kunai, causing ground-shaking detonations that forced his pursuers to scatter. Yet, his enemies were becoming increasingly adept at avoiding his attacks. Some even began counterattacking with greater power and speed. 

Aoki knew that even a moment's lapse in focus could send him plummeting from the trees, making him an easy target. Thus, every step he took was calculated with precision. He could feel his heart pounding rapidly, but he could not afford to show fear. One wrong move could mean death. 

Time continued to tick away. Aoki had been running for what felt like an eternity through the ever-darkening forest. The sounds of explosions from Hell's Valley were no longer audible. When Aoki glanced back, he saw that his pursuers were drawing closer. Making a split-second decision, he bolted toward Hell's Valley, aiming to lead his pursuers into the perilous zone. 

Meanwhile, the pursuers began sensing something was amiss. One of them, a burly man with an expression of rage, growled. 

"That masked bastard keeps running away! Damn him!" he snarled, his voice dripping with hatred. 

However, a younger man with a serious demeanor suddenly stopped, listening intently. "Wait! Do you hear that? The sounds of fighting from Hell's Valley... they've stopped?" he asked, his voice filled with suspicion. 

For a moment, silence blanketed the group before they cautiously resumed their pursuit, unease evident in their movements. 

"That's right. I don't hear anything either," another man said, his tone laced with confusion. 

"Could it be that they've already won?" a woman asked, her voice tinged with doubt. 

"Of course they've won! Besides, those women must be exhausted!" the burly man retorted confidently. 

"But isn't this man trying to lure us into Hell's Valley?" the younger man reminded them, his face creased with concern. 

"I suppose you're right," the burly man replied. "Then what are you waiting for? Use every Ninjutsu we have!" 

Without further warning, they launched their attacks with full force. 

"Katon no Jutsu: Kaen Arashi ga Tosshin Suru!" (Fire Style: Raging Flame Storm!)

With a thunderous roar, a storm of flames erupted from their hands, surging rapidly toward Aoki and scorching everything in its path with intense heat.
