Seeing these words, Onogi was visibly stunned, then he guessed what was going on.

Deidara had already been rescued, most likely during the chaos when Onogi used his Dust Shield.

Su Xiao certainly wouldn’t rescue Deidara himself, and if he had, he wouldn’t leave the words ’Bu Wang was here’ on the ground. The one who would do such a thing, or rather, the one who would do such a dog-like thing, is undoubtedly that fool Bu Bu.

Bu Bu Wang had been lurking in the stone house above, and once he received Su Xiao’s message, he infiltrated the underground prison.

The reason Su Xiao was hit by the black stone spike was because he was creating a safe path for Bu Bu Wang, thus his space for evasion became increasingly narrow, and eventually, he was struck by Onogi’s ’Super Weighted Rock Technique’.

From start to finish, Su Xiao’s goal was never to attack Shuyan Village or kill Onogi. If he wanted to attack the village or destroy the shadow, he wouldn’t be acting this way.

If he wanted to destroy the village, finding an opportunity to throw Apollo from above would be the best choice. Apollo is known as a village-destroying weapon, but the timing must be precise because Apollo takes 30 seconds to activate, and once activated, it cannot be hidden and will emit terrifying waves.

Obito once attempted to obtain Apollo from Su Xiao to use it as a war weapon.

Su Xiao was left with only one Apollo, and given the outdated manufacturing techniques in the Naruto World, gathering the materials needed for Apollo is extremely difficult, especially due to the lack of finding Fire Gold, rendering the creation of Apollo impossible.

With just one Apollo left, Su Xiao certainly wouldn’t give it to Obito; he would keep it for emergencies or to go down with the enemy.

Unable to obtain Apollo, Obito was quite displeased, but he couldn’t forcefully seize it, so the matter was left at that.

Su Xiao wasn’t there to destroy the village or kill the shadow, he was there to abduct someone, hence he never intended to go head-to-head with Onogi, which would be meaningless.

Onogi was visibly stunned for a moment upon seeing Deidara disappear, and at that moment, the sound of collapse was heard at the underground prison exit, which was Su Xiao cutting down the passage at the entrance.

Su Xiao leaped over the stone steps in a few strides, reaching the ground. He knew the collapsed passage behind him wouldn’t possibly trap Onogi.

At this moment, Shuyan Village was already in chaos, with flames almost engulfing the entire village.

While Bu Bu Wang rescued Deidara, Su Xiao had already given A Mu the retreat command, thus A Mu had retreated to a rock wall next to Shuyan Village, ready to retreat at any time.

As Su Xiao reached the ground, half a kilometer away, A Mu leaped onto the rock wall behind him and ran, not caring about the Iwagakure Ninjas pursuing him.

Su Xiao charged at full speed toward the edge of Shuyan Village, and the Iwagakure Ninjas who were besieging A Mu immediately shifted their targets towards Su Xiao.

While charging forward, Su Xiao threw something ahead, and although the Iwagakures were alert, they didn’t stop surrounding Su Xiao.

Boom!

The sound of a piercing explosion resonated, and white light enveloped half of Shuyan Village.

It was currently dusk; though not completely dark, the sun had already set halfway. What Su Xiao threw was a Shock Bomb, and its effect was better than expected.

The Iwagakure Ninjas had never seen Shock Bombs before; they simply thought Su Xiao had thrown some explosives, and some even stared at the Shock Bomb, the dazzling white light causing unimaginable damage to their eyes.

More importantly, Su Xiao didn’t throw an ordinary Shock Bomb, but an enhanced version bought from Mechanical Street.

The dozen or so ninjas aiming to surround Su Xiao instinctively closed their eyes, and their ears rang.

This was undoubtedly a good opportunity to kill, but Su Xiao shifted his steps and slipped out of the encirclement of these Iwagakures, leveraging the time gained by the Shock Bomb to leap onto the rock wall.

Su Xiao, Bu Bu Wang, A Mu, and Deidara all retreated from Shuyan Village, while Obito was still inside being attacked.

Su Xiao stood on the rock wall, looking toward Obito in the distance, and Obito was just looking at Su Xiao.

Obito nodded slightly and made a gesture indicating he could buy Su Xiao 2 to 3 minutes.

Leaving Obito alone in Shuyan Village was a prearranged plan; Obito has spatial abilities and can retreat at any time.

Su Xiao only paused on the rock wall for a moment before charging toward the distant mountains.

Soon, Su Xiao met Bu Bu Wang, A Mu, Shinfuru, who had been waiting on the retreat path; A Mu was carrying Deidara, while Bu Bu Wang was vigilantly squatting nearby.

Su Xiao walked briskly forward, heading straight for Shinfuru.

"Wait, don’t bite the back..."

Shinfuru hadn’t finished speaking when Su Xiao already tore off her shirt. This girl had many bite marks on her arms, but only a few on her back, all left by Su Xiao.

Su Xiao bit into Shinfuru’s fair back, and for some reason, Shinfuru’s face flushed inexplicably.

"Ah～woof."

Shinfuru was about to cry out but was quickly silenced by Su Xiao; there were many pursuers behind them, including Onogi.

After biting into Shinfuru’s fair back, a surge of rich life energy entered Su Xiao’s body, quickly healing his injuries. He had inevitably been hurt earlier resisting Onogi’s Dust Release.

A few seconds later, Shinfuru’s body weakened a bit; the stronger the person she healed, the more life energy she consumed.

Su Xiao’s constitution far surpassed that of a ninja; his true stamina attribute of 80 points made Shinfuru consume a massive amount of life energy, leaving her legs weak.

"How...why...did you absorb so much life energy..."

Shinfuru panted heavily, her gaze somewhat horrified. According to her estimation, with just one bite from Su Xiao, she would start to feel weak-legged; a second bite within 5 minutes could cause her to faint, and continuous biting three times would certainly kill her.

Looking at the now weakened Shinfuru, Su Xiao was visibly puzzled but quickly guessed what was happening.

Su Xiao directly picked up Shinfuru.

"Clothes, clothes."

Shinfuru said urgently, and Su Xiao tugged at her clothes, ensuring she wasn’t exposed.

Su Xiao pressed his foot on the ground, ready to charge forward.

"Woof!"

Bu Bu Wang suddenly barked, halting Su Xiao’s movements.

"How many?"

Su Xiao understood Bu Bu Wang’s intention; there were enemies surrounding them ahead.

Bu Bu Wang wrote a sequence of numbers on the ground.

"Looks like we’ve angered the Iwagakures; retreat from the flank."

Su Xiao changed the direction of retreat; Onogi was pursuing with reinforcements from Iwagakure Village in front, forming a pincer. To retreat, they had to escape from the flank before being completely surrounded.

Su Xiao and Bu Bu Wang were both quite fast, and A Mu had 69 points in agility attributes. Although his speed usually lagged a bit, he had a charging skill, which was extremely fast and increased speed over time during the charge, ultimately even surpassing Su Xiao’s speed.

This made the retreating squad a bit comical; Su Xiao was carrying a somewhat fatigued girl (Shinfuru), looking like he had just abducted her from Shuyan Village.

Bu Bu Wang stretched his tongue, occasionally observing the situation behind them, and because he wasn’t looking at the road, he crashed into rocks five times and mountain walls eight times, truly a ’seasoned veteran’.

A Mu was even more hilarious; he sprinted with his sturdy legs, though large steps, not running fast. But upon activating his charging skill, within less than three seconds, he would disappear in a flash ahead of Su Xiao, leaving only a trail of yellow dust.
