"let's go!"
......
"Jiejiejie——"
"Ninjas, weren't they supposed to be awesome? Why aren't they awesome anymore?"
"It's about time to deal with him and that shorty!"
At the edge of the cliff, Zhu Ye gripped his knife in his right hand, planting it in the muddy ground to support his weary body. His clothes were soaked with sweat and blood, and the man's breathing was rapid. Against the backdrop of the dark sky, in the far distance, the boy's eyes had almost lost their light: utter despair.
In Yuanxin's view, Zhu also gritted his teeth and single-handedly blocked the attack of more than a dozen people, including samurai and vagrants. At this moment, those vagrants who were holding various weapons and dressed in simple clothes all had many wounds on their bodies, and there were still many corpses on the ground.
The two wandering samurai and the man in black, who were currently at their peak and hadn't yet made a move, were relatively relaxed: after all, Takeya and Ennobu had nowhere to retreat.
"almost."
"Even a Jonin wouldn't have the strength left. Besides, Takeya isn't an elite ninja of Konoha; his overall abilities are still quite inferior."
Hearing his two companions' voices, the black-clad Chunin nodded slightly, "Let me send them to their deaths!"
After speaking, the black-clad Chunin formed hand seals, completing ten seals in a matter of seconds. His chakra surged, and fire-style chakra gathered in his throat.
"Fire Release: Blazing Cannon!!!"
Rumbling--
Having lost his chakra, Takeya saw a fireball of moderate size approaching. He glanced back at Enshin, who sat blankly on the ground, then took a final moment to look up at the sky, his eyes seeming to pierce through countless images:
"Are you going to die?"
"My third year as Lord Yuanxin's bodyguard..."
"We haven't even had a chance to enjoy these good days for long..."
"Kiyoko... if we go back now, will you accept my confession?"
Recalling his orphanhood in Takigakure, his secret mastery of chakra refining techniques before leaving the village, his long years of wandering the ninja world, and his self-taught mastery of various techniques to become a fairly skilled ninja, it took him nearly twenty years...
"Takeya—" Enshin finally snapped out of his daze. Seeing his bodyguard of three years preparing to block the fire-style attack with his own body, Enshin roared hoarsely. In his eyes, countless images flashed through his mind of trying to escape the Fire City, only to be caught by Takeya shortly after reaching the gate...
"No!!!"
At this moment, Enshin was filled with guilt and deeply regretted his stubborn decision to become a ninja...
—Just as Brother Shirahoshi said, ninjas never meet a good end...
Thinking of Bai Xing, who had been late, Yuan Xin realized that Bai Xing and Zhu Ye had met the same fate, and a new maturity seemed to appear in his eyes: If I can go back to the city, I will avenge you.
Chapter 97 Shirahoshi, who sees money as dirt
Tread!
'Shirahoshi' landed, standing before Takeya, who was prepared to die and had begun to close his eyes to welcome death. The hand seal in 'Shirahoshi's' hand was already prepared:
"Water escape·Water chaos!"
sizzle-
The fire-style attack was abruptly blocked by the arriving 'Shirahoshi'. The black-clad Chunin's face was filled with disbelief; he thought to himself, "There should have been five more of my companions coming from that direction! How could this be...?"
Moreover, Naoto-sama should be here by now!
The two well-equipped wandering samurai frowned upon seeing the newcomers. The young wandering samurai with light red hair gripped his sword hilt: "Unexpected reinforcements?"
Another wandering samurai, a long-haired man with two scars on his face, also gripped the hilt of his sword.
"It doesn't matter who comes."
"The two of us together are invincible!!"
Just as the black-clad chunin was about to let the two slum duo known as the "Red and Black Duo" be less careless, a kunai that reflected light flashed past and shot straight towards him. After the black-clad chunin dodged to the side, the light red-haired youth's eyes narrowed, and he actually managed to knock the kunai away with his sword, even as warm water mist appeared around them.
Upon hearing this voice, Shirahoshi thought to himself that this was no ordinary nobody: his initial assessment was that the opponent was a wandering samurai who had cultivated chakra and should be able to contend with a weak chunin.
But I wonder when the main character will finally get tired of playing, even though he clearly wants to play too...
"Are you alright, Mr. Takeya?"
The shadow clone scanned Zhu Ye's body and found that he had many wounds. After the mist dissipated, it also saw that many people in the enemy camp had fallen, and the remaining people had some injuries. Only three people were completely unharmed.
"It's nothing." Takeya shook his head, trying to get up, but 'Shirahoshi' held him down, stopping him. "Alright."
"In the end, it was me who brought this young master out to play. And he even calls me teacher and big brother."
"No matter what, I should protect him!"
Upon hearing this, the shadow clone looked at Yuanxin, whose face was covered in tears. He wiped them away repeatedly and nodded vigorously, saying, "I knew you were alright, Brother Baixing!!"
The shadow clone offered no explanation, turning to look at the group of people under the moonlight. "1, 2, 3, 4... there are fifteen more people."
Wow, there are so many people!
The black-clad Chunin swallowed hard, finally recognizing the newcomer: "The other party is a Jonin from Konoha!"
"We need to get out of here!!"
however.
As the black-clad chunin and his thugs prepared to leave and passed the two wandering samurai, the chunin noticed that the two samurai hadn't left and now wore eager expressions. The long-haired man was even licking the blade of his sword, his face covered in blood.
"A Jonin."
"My brother and I have long wanted to kill a Konoha Jonin to prove our strength!"
"Perfect timing! Today is the day our brothers, the 'Red and Black Duo,' become famous throughout the Land of Fire!"
The red-haired youth opened his eyes wide, took a step forward, and charged towards Shirahoshi like a red demon in the darkness.
When he reached a certain distance from Shirahoshi, the red-haired youth slightly opened his scabbard and his entire body began to accelerate instantly: it was the most basic Body Flicker Technique.
Upon reaching a certain distance, the speed values of the entire body surge instantly, achieving the effect of catching the enemy off guard and eliminating them.
"Crimson Demon - Draw Sword Slash!!"
Shadow Clone: "..." With rich combat experience and having completely seen through the man's attack angles and sword techniques, the clone immediately felt that this battle was a bit boring.
—Too weak. It's actually just a common combination of teleportation and sword draw, and doesn't have much to do with the first two words.
The shadow clone took a slight step back, tilting its head back as well. The swift blade grazed past the shadow clone's face. The shadow clone remarked that this man must know some Wind Release chakra, which allowed him to extend the blade's attack and hit him: like Sarutobi Asuma's Flying Swallow.
"What?!" The red-haired youth thought his attack would hit 'White Star', but he didn't expect that the opponent could retreat and tilt her head the instant he accelerated his aim and attack.
"Oh no! The post-rock was too strong!"
The red-haired youth swung his blade toward the left of his shadow clone, who quickly drew a kunai. However, instead of attacking the red-haired youth, he swung the kunai upwards and delivered a powerful kick, striking the red-haired youth in the chest and sending him flying backwards.
at the same time.
A sharp metallic clang echoed through the sky. Another wandering samurai, already prepared, knocked away the kunai and aimed at Shirahoshi's head, shouting, "Die!!"
In an instant, the shadow clone used the Body Flicker Technique to quickly take a step forward. The black-haired youth's eyes widened in shock, but he couldn't change the angle of his attack.
boom--
The knife was stuck in the muddy ground, a quarter of the blade embedded. As the long-haired youth pulled it out, he turned his head and said:
"Can,"
puff--
He gripped the kunai and swiftly sliced it across the neck of the long-haired black-haired youth.
At this moment, the shadow clone who killed the man was complaining in his heart that the two wandering samurai's attacks were too monotonous and didn't give him any combat experience at all!
As the dust settled, revealing his brother's death, the red-haired youth clutching his chest paused slightly in surprise.
then.
The red-haired youth sheathed his weapon and ran back the way he came without looking back. The other ordinary people and black-clad chunin who were watching the battle hadn't even come to their senses yet: the entire battle, from start to finish, only lasted two or three seconds.
"Monster! I knew Konoha's Jonin were not to be trifled with!!!"
The black-clad Chunin also reacted and ran backwards, while the other fodder began to shout and run away, ignoring their comrades screaming on the ground as they fled.
"Damn! I thought these two guys were something special, but they're just like that?!"
"Only one round! They were wiped out in one round! And we've been subservient to them for so long!"
—They are the force in the slums.
"Run!!" xN
however.
Before the twelve ragtag kids had gone far, the black-clad chunin who had been so arrogant in front of them earlier stopped in front of them, frozen in place. One of the ragtag kids stepped forward and asked:
"What's wrong? This guy... ah?!"
In the eyes of the man and the black-clad ninja, and in the eyes of the group of men behind them: Under the moonlight ahead, the red-haired youth who had been fleeing was killed by a masked man.
Shirahoshi sensed that the shadow clone hadn't disappeared, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth beneath the mask. At the same time, she gently placed the red-haired youth, who had been strangled on her head with chakra threads, onto the ground. Under the moonlight, Shirahoshi opened her arms.
"What a good child! How did he go astray?"
"You, you, you—" The black-clad Chunin tried to run towards the woods to the side, but the chakra threads were faster and grabbed him directly, as well as the ankles of everyone else. Then, Shirahoshi gave a slight tug.
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
The remaining thirteen people all fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, countless chakra threads shot out from Shirahoshi's position, one after another, wrapping around their entire bodies, similar to being torn apart by five horses, leaving the thirteen people standing upright in mid-air.
"Let's have two to look at first," Bai Xing said with a slight smile.
—The different forces exerted by different fingers when practicing chakra lines.
The black-clad chunin felt the pressure on his neck and legs and immediately shouted, "Please, I know a lot of information! I know this is—"
The simple-minded man next to him had his neck pulled upwards, his eyes rolled back, and he couldn't speak, only foaming at the mouth.
Before the black-clad chunin could finish speaking, two loud "poof" sounds rang out simultaneously, followed by screams that echoed across the main road. Many of the other fodder had already fainted from fright.
Seeing that the black-clad Chunin's neck wasn't broken, only his legs were, Shirahoshi immediately knew that the other party must have used his last bit of chakra to protect his neck. At this moment, the black-clad Chunin lay on the ground, feeling the excruciating pain coming from below, screaming in agony. At the same time, he saw Shirahoshi walking towards him.
"Please. I really have information. If you just let me go, I'll even give you all my savings accumulated over the years—"
puff!
