Chapter 449

Seeing this, Tenten didn't hesitate a second, hurling countless ninja tools, yet they had no effect whatsoever.

"Rock Lee! Go support them!"

At that moment, Might Guy spoke up.

Though Might Guy was locked in fierce battle with those ghostly beasts, he was watching Neji every single moment.

Before, he trusted Neji, believing he could solve any trouble no matter what arose.

He only needed to fight passionately right here!

But now it seemed the enemy's strength was still quite formidable.

They had actually prepared such an expert.

Hearing this, Rock Lee paused for a moment, then fixed his gaze on that ninja and the tornado.

"I understand, Guy-sensei!"

After replying, Rock Lee leaped directly to the ninja's front.

Meanwhile, Tenten in the distance felt somewhat speechless.

"Lee, deal with the tornado first!"

Tenten shouted loudly; right now, the ninja wasn't the problem at all.

Even if they killed the ninja, the tornado would still destroy the carriage; wouldn't their mission fail then?

Hearing this, Rock Lee paused for a moment, then immediately realized the situation.

"Oh right, we must protect the carriage!"

"Want to leave? Did you ask me?"

Seeing Rock Lee, that ninja first froze, then, after being ignored by the other, instantly felt furious beyond comprehension.

This guy was too much; he actually ignored him.

So, the ninja directly swung his kunai and thrust it at Rock Lee.

But Rock Lee's speed was simply too fast; as he swung his kunai, Rock Lee directly kicked out.

Seeing this, the ninja's pupils shrank sharply; he could sense a terrifying threat in that kick.

Furthermore, the speed of that kick was simply too fast; he couldn't dodge it at all!

So, the ninja raised his hands to block in front of himself, trying to withstand it.

With a bang, the ninja was directly knocked flying backward.

Then Rock Lee spoke:

"Sorry, I must protect the carriage; I cannot fight you first."

Then, Rock Lee directly arrived before the tornado.

"To destroy the tornado, one must enter, find the key point inside, and then attack to destroy it.

My Gentle Fist won't be usable inside due to the tornado.

Try using Morning Peacock!"

Neji shouted loudly; hearing this, Rock Lee's eyes instantly lit up, then he charged straight in.

"I see! So simply solving this tornado is all it takes!"

After Rock Lee charged in, the tornado's speed became even faster and more violent.

However, for Rock Lee, it was simply no problem.

Quickly, Rock Lee arrived at the so-called key point.

"Morning Peacock!"

Immediately, Rock Lee continuously swung his fists, sending out one red fireball-like thing after another.

Actually, there was one more thing Neji hadn't said.

That was that Gentle Fist is used on the human body; striking inside the tornado has little effect.

Whereas Rock Lee's Morning Peacock generates fireballs through high-speed straight punches and friction with the air.

It releases fireballs and shockwaves by attacking the air.

Such a powerful technique can completely force the tornado to stop.

Sure enough, the next second, the tornado directly dissipated amidst Rock Lee's fierce assault.

Tenten and Neji then breathed a sigh of relief, then fixed their gaze on that ninja.

However, unfortunately, that ninja had actually left!

And the ghostly beasts around them also began to retreat.

"Are they giving up?"

Might Guy spoke, while Neji activated his Byakugan to observe.

"They are retreating because they realized they cannot take the thing inside the carriage?"

Neji asked somewhat puzzled, while Might Guy laughed.

"Perhaps our Guy Team is too powerful; they retreated knowing the difficulty.

Now then, let us escort the carriage to its destination!"

They were only half an hour's journey from their mission objective.

Basically, no accidents could happen anymore.

However, quite a few samurai and ninjas still sacrificed their lives in the recent battle.

And in a place they didn't know, that ninja was conversing with a ghost.

"Lord, we didn't find the statue; that must have been a diversion!"

"Hmph, I didn't expect them to spend so much money hiring so many helpers, only for it to be a ploy to draw the tiger away from the mountain."

Regardless, we must find the statue and release him!

He is the true ghost! Once he is released, you will become the shadow of an entire village..."
