Chapter 1060: Nowhere to Escape

Land of Water, in a small village near the Mist Village.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Heavy panting came. A figure sat between the gaps of two residential houses. He was covered in mud and water, and bloodstains could still be seen on his face. One arm had already disappeared.

"The formation was destroyed in one place. This bastard."

The brown-haired warm man leaning against the wall roared in a low voice. That was something he had painstakingly set up for a long time.

"Even if it was destroyed, I can still make more. If you have the guts, then chase me again."

The warm man endured the severe pain and stood up. In fact, he wasn't worried about Su Xiao chasing him, because the Lei Zhiguo and the Land of Water were too far apart. He had sacrificed combat power to possess such strong mobility.

The warm man had actually long thought that a Hunter would come to his door, and he had been prepared for a long time. But what was unexpected was that the Hunter appeared very late.

This made the warm man breathe a sigh of relief. The opponent finding him at this point in time wasn't actually a big problem. He had already set up many mental nodes in the Naruto world, and he could transmit between these mental nodes. As long as he still had images of the environment around those mental nodes in his mind, he could transmit.

After transmitting to each mental node, the warm man's transmission ability would have a 47-minute cooldown. Moreover, within 70 hours, he could not transmit to the same node twice; that would cause mental backlash, thereby destroying his neurons and causing him to become an idiot.

The warm man rested for a moment in the gap between the residential houses. He had already changed his clothes and stood up, walking toward the depths of the small village.

Two hours later, the warm man had treated his wounds and washed up. He lay in a residential house, thinking about his subsequent countermeasures.

The smell of blood permeated the residential house. In the living room of the residential house lay three corpses; it could be said that a family had died quite neatly.

With a creak, the dilapidated wooden door of the residential house was pushed open. A figure holding a long sword walked into the residential house. This figure was also carrying a head in his hand—a head that was dripping blood.

"Found you."

A smile appeared on the face of this figure, his gaze fixed on the warm man not far away.

The warm man's mouth opened slightly. The scene before him made him somewhat unable to believe it.

"Sky Original Realm."

Space fluctuations mixed with stronger mental fluctuations spread. The "Su Xiao" holding the long sword stepped on the ground beneath his feet and rushed straight toward the warm man.

Whoosh~

The panicked warm man disappeared. "Su Xiao" stopped in place, and his appearance began to change, becoming the appearance of Zetsu, or rather, this was not Su Xiao at all, but a Zetsu clone with Su Xiao's appearance.

Zetsu could disguise his clone as Kisame and fight Killer Bee; of course, he could also disguise himself as Su Xiao. It was just that this clone could not use the ability of the Slayer of Magic, but fortunately, it had 80% of Su Xiao's physical fitness.

What was a pity was that Su Xiao could not control the disguised version of the Zetsu clone like Kisame, because Su Xiao had no chakra.

Su Xiao could not control it, but fortunately, Zetsu could. Zetsu didn't need to fight the outsider at all; he only needed to scare the outsider away.

The outsider had already been scared out of his wits by Su Xiao and dared not let Su Xiao get close at all. Having already had his arm slashed off by Su Xiao, he was clear that if he were gotten close to by Su Xiao, it would take no more than three slashes before tomorrow would be his death anniversary.

"This time it's two hours. According to the scheduled plan, the next time is one hour and thirty minutes."

The Zetsu clone gradually sank into the ground. This was something Su Xiao had instructed. Su Xiao still couldn't determine the cooldown time of the outsider's transmission ability.

If the outsider's transmission ability hadn't recovered yet and Zetsu appeared, the outsider might fight Zetsu to the death. In that case, the entire plan would be ruined. The Zetsu clone was a paper tiger; it could only imitate Su Xiao's temperament. Although its combat ability was not bad, it was definitely no match for the outsider.

If the interval was too long, then after the outsider transmitted to some mental nodes, the cooldown time of the previously transmitted nodes would recover, thereby forming a cycle. That would be troublesome.

Zetsu had to keep probing, probing the cooldown time of the outsider's transmission ability. As long as the time for each transmission by the opponent was kept within one and a half hours, the situation of cycling transmission nodes would not occur.

It was also thanks to Su Xiao setting up for so long that this outsider was almost unsolvable for a solo Hunter.

What was a pity was that Su Xiao had already set up a net in the mental nodes of various countries, just waiting for the outsider to enter the net.

Zetsu had long ago deployed clones near those known nodes. Once the outsider was discovered, he would immediately disguise himself as Su Xiao to intimidate the opponent.

After the outsider transmitted to three more nodes, his trail suddenly disappeared. He transmitted to a nearby unknown node.

Su Xiao had long thought of this situation. It was impossible for him to know all the opponent's nodes, but this was no longer important. The outsider had been in close contact with Zetsu four times. If Zetsu still couldn't leave the Spore Technique on the opponent, then he should hurry up and quit the Akatsuki; it was simply too shameful.

Not only Zetsu's Spore Technique, but there were also a large number of Edo Tensei sensory-type ninjas, among whom Aburame Torune and Kato Dan showed the strongest reconnaissance abilities.

The Spirit Transformation Technique used by Kato Dan could spiritualize into a living soul and fly in soul form, which was very suitable for reconnaissance.

Kato Dan and Hyuga Hizashi were responsible for the Land of Fire area, the Second Tsuchikage was responsible for the Land of Earth area, Chūkichi was responsible for the Land of Water area, and Aburame Torune was responsible for the Land of Wind area. They all led a large number of sensory-type ninjas.

Under such a net, the outsider was chased until he was dazed.

After the twelfth transmission, the outsider used a dagger to cut off a large piece of meat on his waist. That piece of meat turned purple before it even hit the ground. Nano-sized poisonous insects eroded that muscle. This was a secret technique of the Aburame clan.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The outsider no longer had the appearance of a warm man at this time. His clothes were tattered, and one pupil was covered in bloodshot eyes. This was injured by Kato Dan's Spirit Transformation Technique.

Su Xiao was not simply letting Zetsu go to scare the opponent; doing so would eventually be exposed. Kato Dan, Aburame Torune, and Hyuga Hizashi were all good combat powers, not to mention the Second Tsuchikage.

As long as the outsider transmitted near these people, these people would cooperate with the fake Su Xiao to attack the outsider.

"What exactly... is going on."

The outsider greedily sucked air into his lungs. In the previous dozen or so hours, he had been subjected to inhumane pursuit.

Land of Fire, Land of Earth, Land of Wind, Lei Zhiguo, Land of Water, Land of Iron, Land of Waves, etc. —he had transmitted through almost all of them.

No matter where he went, as long as 1 hour and 30 minutes had passed, a large number of pursuers would immediately appear around him.

The outsider lay in the damp forest. The dead leaves on the ground stuck to his exposed skin. Massive blood loss and Kato Dan's Spirit Transformation Technique had already caused his spirit to start to trance.

"Otherwise, just let it be..."

Just as this thought appeared, the outsider's eyes suddenly widened.

"How is it possible to end just like this!"

The outsider stood up with difficulty. A certain will was supporting him to continue.

The pursuit against the outsider was non-stop. Su Xiao was rushing from the Lei Zhiguo straight to the Land of Fire. There were the most nodes in the Land of Fire. He was waiting for the outsider to be exhausted. Now was not the time to be impatient.

There were the most mental nodes in the Land of Fire. Just near the Konoha ninja village, there were 11 nodes.

After Su Xiao rushed to the Land of Fire without stopping, he chose to ambush near Konoha. There were the most nodes here, and the possibility of the outsider transmitting here was the greatest.

Near the remaining mental nodes, there were escape routes, such as cliffs, valleys, rivers, underground tunnels, etc. Only near Konoha were there no such landforms.

It wasn't that the outsider didn't want to set the Konoha nodes near dangerous areas, but the terrain around Konoha was flat, and there were not many choices.
