Chapter 65 Clear Mind
Mei Terumi kept her eyes glued to the figure in front of her. She knew that once the assassin lost cover, the attack would be no longer a threat.
An arrow shot towards her, which she dodged to the side, and then her hands quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A fireball nearly ten meters in diameter swept past, carrying temperatures of thousands of degrees.
The trees between the two were instantly scorched by the steam.
The enemy dodged the attack and landed on a tree trunk a hundred meters away.
Hinata Ayako shot an arrow to each side, and then two "thud" sounds were heard as Terumi Mei's shadow clones were killed.
This time, Ayako Hinata did not continue running, but instead looked at Mei Terumi from a distance of over a hundred meters.
The distance is just right; the enemy's ninjutsu can't threaten her, but she can continue to attack and deal damage.
The fighting logic of the two destined this to be an unfair duel.
Mei Terumi has high attack power, but her speed is comparable to Ayako's, and her attack range is shorter than the kill radius of a bow.
Just like a mage in a game, once they get caught up in the rhythm of a ranger, they're destined to be kited around.
Mei Terumi also realized this, and she tried everything, but nothing worked.
This was the first time she had seen her opponent's face. He was a Konoha ninja of similar age to herself, and his Byakugan eyes were very impressive.
All doubts were answered, and their little tricks would be exposed under the watchful eyes of the Hyuga clan.
She simply stopped wasting chakra, and her shadow clones were just there to make things worse.
At that moment, a series of booming sounds came from afar; that was the sound of explosive tags detonating.
It's clear that Kushimaru Kurihara's battle was not easy either.
Mei Terumi regretted her actions; she had been too impulsive. How could she have placed her hopes on that madman?
She felt a little sorry for the Ghost Mist Jonin, who risked his life to help her escape from this place, but she herself had stepped into it.
I can't wait any longer. If Kushimaru Kurihara makes a mistake, I will have no chance of survival.
Although the girl who rolled her eyes was very restrained, as long as she was determined to leave, the other party did not have the strength to keep her there.
The thought flashed through her mind in an instant, and Mei Terumi made a decision immediately.
She suddenly turned around and nimbly broke through to the east, the same direction she had come from.
Ayako Hinata paused for a moment, but it took less than a second.
He immediately drew his bow and arrow, and chased for a while before stopping.
Indeed, Ayako could also sense that she was not capable of keeping that Hidden Mist girl.
Both of them have the ability to restrain each other, but they want to keep her...
She retrieved the arrow and put it back into the quiver, watching Terumi Mei depart into the distance.
After following them for a while, she finally confirmed that the enemy had indeed left before turning around and heading towards the battle site.
-
After the explosion and as the smoke cleared, a huge ice sculpture came into view.
The exterior was blasted to pieces by the explosive tags, but Mo Jingxian was frozen intact inside.
Upon seeing this scene, Kushimaru Kurihara felt a pang of anxiety and suddenly had the idea of retreating.
Having exhausted all his methods and still unable to inflict fatal damage on Mo Jingxian, there was indeed no need to waste any more time.
The moment he set off.
Mo Jingxian unexpectedly reached out from underground and grabbed his ankle.
At the last second, Kushimaru Kurihara escaped death again using the Substitution Jutsu.
The moment the person landed, the sound of wind could be heard from out of sight.
Since the two began fighting, they have been fighting at breakneck speed, and their exchanges have only lasted a few minutes.
But the danger involved is no less than that of a clash of ninja techniques.
Although it lacks a glamorous effect, the hidden dangers are like the fangs of a venomous snake; the slightest mistake could lead to certain death.
Looking at the epicenter of the explosion, what was frozen wasn't Mo Jingxian himself, but merely a water clone.
Upon closer reflection, it turned out that the one who had ambushed him earlier was not his true self, but rather another clone.
But now that I understand, it's too late.
The enemy crept up behind him, just as he was using the Substitution Jutsu.
No solution!
Time seemed to slow down, and Kushimaru Kurihara instantly chose the most violent fighting style.
perish together.
The ninja sword was turned around, and before the person could turn around, the long needle pierced in the direction of the sound of the wind.
All of this happened in a very short time.
Kurihara Kushimaru left the enemy no chance, but also sealed his own fate.
"puff!"
The long sword pierced through flesh, and the tactile sensation from the hilt was unmistakable.
Just as his excitement was rising, the enemy behind him suddenly exploded.
A dense array of tiny ice arrows covered an area of ten meters, the number of which was impossible to count, and their trajectories were completely random.
asshole!
These were Kurihara Kushimaru's last thoughts.
He had no fear of death; his only regret was not being able to drag his opponents down with him.
The pain lasted only a moment, and then the chestnut shell was riddled with holes.
Mo Jingxian appeared from ten meters away.
His clothes were stained red with blood around his abdomen, but fortunately, his internal organs were not damaged, and the wound was frozen.
This ninjutsu was inspired by a Sand Ninja, whose name was something like "Tsuruta Ritsu." The enemy's "Wind Blade Explosion Substitution Technique" left a very deep impression on him.
This trick is an essential skill for ambushing people.
After Tsuruta Ritsu was captured, his life-saving skill was successfully obtained by the Konoha interrogation team, and as the ninja who made the first contribution, he naturally received a copy.
After further revisions and modifications based on their own combat habits, the "Ice Arrow Explosion Substitution Technique" was created.
The power of the "technique" is not very great, and it is also quite troublesome to activate, requiring prior preparation.
However, this technique is unparalleled in its ability to ambush people. In its first real combat use, it took down an elite Jonin from Kirigakure.
Once someone reaches the level of an elite Jonin, they become incredibly difficult to kill. If you can't beat them, you can always run away, unless you completely overwhelm them with superior strength.
Mo Jingxian's victory in today's battle was solely due to two major advantages.
Kushimaru Kurihara is a taijutsu ninja, but his ninjutsu skills are not outstanding; he is only at the level of an ordinary jonin.
But he was able to succeed because he restrained himself so obviously.
Secondly... the information about Kushimaru Kurihara is very comprehensive. He has long been on the intelligence lists of major ninja villages, so it is not difficult to obtain him.
However, Kushimaru Kurihara was completely oblivious to his own information, his understanding still stuck six months in the past, which led to his downfall.
He analyzed the battle in his mind, going through it step by step.
This is a habit he developed since becoming a ninja; post-battle reviews allow him to more clearly recognize his own shortcomings.
Meanwhile, Mo Jingxian was not idle either. Although the corpse was pierced and torn, it was still very valuable. He believed in the methods of Konoha's interrogation department.
After sealing the corpse with the storage scroll, Mo Jingxian turned her gaze to the ninja sword, Changzhen, which was more than ten meters away.
At this moment, it lies there quietly, its blade gleaming in the sunlight.
If I remember correctly, the Seven Swords of Kirigakure can be summoned even if they are sealed in a scroll.
Coincidentally, Mo Jingxian and Hinata Ayako had discovered explanations of such secret techniques in the secret room, so they just walked right into a trap.
Money symbols gleamed in his eyes, and Ayako's chakra metal problem was thus solved.
Mo Jingxian got up and walked towards the ninja sword, a smile gradually spreading across her face.
"You're injured?" Ayako rushed back to his side and immediately noticed the glaring red stain:
"Why aren't you behaving yourself? Lie down right now so I can check you out."
"Sigh." Mo Jingxian waved her hand.
"Minor injuries are inevitable for ninjas; there's no need to make a fuss about it."
Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, Ayako felt much relieved.
"That female ninja from Kirigakure has run away, let's leave quickly too."
"Hmm." Mo Jingxian nodded: "Indeed, Mei Terumi, as a genius that Kirigakure is focusing on cultivating, is not to be underestimated in her ability to summon people."
"So she's Mei Terumi. She's not all that great, huh?"
"Geniuses need time to grow; they're just more famous now."
Ayako Hyuga looked at the ninja sword, Sewing Needle, in Mo Jingxian's hand: "This weapon is very famous, it's a pity..."
"It's no pity." Mo Jingxian handed it to Lingzi like a treasure: "Take a look, are the incantations engraved inside familiar?"
Ayako examined the area closely, her eyes growing brighter with each passing moment.
"You've discovered it, haven't you?" Mo Jingxian took the ninja sword needle and began adding sealing runes inside:
"How is it? Does it look familiar?"
After planting several runes in succession, he exclaimed to himself, "The 108 runes left behind by the Uzumaki clan are a treasure trove, covering almost all aspects of ninjutsu. Amazing!"
Ayako nodded in agreement; it was indeed as Mo Jingxian had said.
Those basic runes not only cover the five elements of ninjutsu, but also involve space and soul.
However, my understanding is too superficial. At present, I can only understand a dozen or so runes and can only apply them in a simple way.
I wonder what the scenery will be like at the end of this road. I suppose it's something that can be done by moving mountains and filling seas.
"Alright." Mo Jingxian sealed the ninja sword into the storage scroll:
"This was quite a haul; even chakra metal was delivered to my door by a delivery guy. I'm pretty lucky."
Hinata Ayako didn't understand his use of the term "brother," but she got used to it.
Mo Jingxian often uses strange words, which she takes as a unique hobby.
Everything that needed to be packed had already been packed, and the two hurried towards the seaside.
The islands of the Land of Whirlpools are not far from the coastline of the Land of Fire, at most a dozen nautical miles.
The two of them would be safe as long as they left before the Hidden Mist could react; they still had plenty of time.
On the road.
Ayako Hinata brought up the mission again, and she felt very puzzled. It seemed that the Cloud Ninja knew they were coming and had already arranged an ambush.
After her reminder, Mo Jingxian also realized that there was indeed a big problem here.
Putting everything else aside, judging from this relentless pursuit, the Yun Ninja are sticking too close.
They had already escaped the Two-Tails' entanglement, but they were still surrounded and intercepted by the Cloud Ninja.
Even after escaping the Land of Lightning, Kirigakure immediately followed.
There must be some information here that they are unaware of.
Another point is that the enemy had an overly precise grasp of their movements.
The two began searching through their belongings, eventually focusing their attention on the kunai artwork given to them by the caravan owner.
The two exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat uneasy.
If that's the case, it means the enemy had already started planning.
"Damn it, how is this any different from entrapment?" Mo Jingxian cursed angrily and threw him into the sea.
Although Ayako was reluctant, she did as she was told.
Surprisingly, the journey became smooth sailing from then on, until they were a few dozen kilometers away from Konoha Village.
Mo Jingxian and Lingzi were suddenly surrounded by five ANBU ninjas.
