Boom--
The sound of explosions faintly came from afar like thunder. It seemed that Hyuga Hinata and Shisui had caught the tail of a team of Iwa ninjas. Several kilometers away, three teenagers were chasing at full speed.
"Stop."
Otonashi, who was jumping between the trees, suddenly raised his right hand. Kakashi and Obito stopped respectively. Neither of them were green recruits. They immediately knelt on one knee and searched their surroundings.
Kakashi closed his eyes, and after opening them, he said indifferently, "There are voices of people a hundred meters ahead. Those people are resting."
"These bastards dare to stop, let's go over and beat them all up!" Obito shouted excitedly. He glanced at a group of gray spiders crawling on the tree trunk, and before he could react, Otonashi grabbed his collar.
"Scatter!"
Otonashi suddenly grabbed Obito and pulled him away. Kakashi jumped down first. Only a 'whoosh' sound was heard, and a kunai was stuck on the tree. The three people in the air felt a strong push in their backs.
Boom!!
A loud noise and a strong light illuminated the forest. The special explosive tags of Iwa's demolition team were extremely powerful.
'Fortunately, I dodged quickly.' Otonashi glanced at the giant tree that was blown off in the middle, took a deep breath, and looked forward.
Ten red figures were standing on the trees and on the ground. Judging from their clothes, they were indeed Iwa Hidden Village's elite demolition engineers. But one of them, with a blue mushroom head, was dressed completely differently. Seeing a sign on his clothes, Otonashi narrowed his eyes.
'The Fuma clan, mercenaries?'
"Konoha only sent a group of kids to chase? We are underestimated." An Iwa ninja with a golden braid sneered, unable to hide his complacency. It seemed that infiltration, sabotage, and luring the enemy had all succeeded.
"Leave that kid with goggles to me." Mushroom Head stared at Obito and said gloomily, "Our Fuma clan has some scores to settle with the Uchiha."
"Okay, Shin助 [Nobusuke]-sama, but before that, I still have to go through the motions." The Iwa ninja looked at Otonashi and the others who were ready to fight, and said loudly, "You brats, I'll give you one last chance, surrender, otherwise I'll make your heads a birthday gift for my son Deidara!"
Whoosh--
The answer to him was several kunai. Otonashi and Kakashi looked at each other and rushed forward from the left and right, so suddenly that even Obito didn't react.
No need to communicate, a look was enough. And this sudden attack undoubtedly angered the Iwa ninjas.
"Kill them!!"
Earth Style. Earth Flow Wall!
Otonashi stopped abruptly, and an earth wall instantly rose from the ground, and then was blasted into a pitted mess by those explosive tag kunai. Before the dust settled, Kakashi had jumped onto the top of the wall, his hands quickly forming seals.
Fire Style. Great Fireball Technique!
A beam of fire instantly ignited the giant tree, but the Iwa ninjas also reacted extremely quickly. They were not burned by the fire style, but they were forced off the treetops.
"Formation B, take down the two in front first."
The four people who landed formed a cone formation, and slapped the ground with both hands at the same time.
"Earth Style! Earth-Style Palm Rotation!"
At the same time, the Iwa ninjas who were still in the air, led by the golden-braided boy, launched Earth Dragon Bullet Technique.
In an instant, the ground cracked and the sky collapsed. Earth-Style Palm Rotation seemed to be the nemesis of Earth Flow Wall, and it shattered it into a pile of rubble in a moment. And the Earth Dragon Bullet just arrived, and the exquisite cooperation directly hit Kakashi.
"Fool, how dare a mere Chunin..."
Bang--
The body that was hit instantly exploded into white smoke. The smile froze on his face. He saw three Kakashis appearing on the tree trunks on both sides, forming an encirclement.
"Shadow Clone? Defense!"
Looking at the two walls rising, there was no emotion in the boy's eyes. He had completed the seals, and the target was the four people on the ground.
Water Bullet Wave! Great Fireball!
The advantage of Shadow Clone was that it could use ninjutsu. In an instant, fireballs and water waves attacked from both sides, but the line of sight was blocked by the defense. Unexpectedly, these two ninjutsu were not intended to bombard directly.
Bang!
The Earth Flow Wall was not completely covered. Fire and water collided overhead, and instantly turned into high-temperature steam and swept down. The steam of nearly 100 degrees Celsius scalded people's skin and flesh. They ran out desperately.
But at this time, they found that the ground they were standing on had turned into yellow sand at some point. A figure suddenly jumped out from underground.
"Hey, where do you want to go?"
Clang--
A silver moon rose in the mist. Then, the spouting blood stained the yellow sand red. One slash, four kills, Otonashi did not stop for a moment, resealed and drilled into the soil.
Otonashi temporarily lost track. The Iwa ninjas immediately focused their targets on Kakashi, encircling him from the left and right, and combined taijutsu and blasting to force him to retreat again and again.
He landed on the ground, and his footsteps retreated sharply, avoiding the downward slashing ninja sword. The soil in front of him exploded, and Otonashi suddenly rushed out again.
Clang clang!
Two consecutive downward slashes forced the Iwa ninja in front of him to slide back. He suddenly jumped back. The place where he had just stood had been blasted into a shallow pit by Earth Dragon Bullet. So he used the force to somersault in the air, supported the ground with both hands, and separated his legs to clamp the rushing Kakashi.
"Go!"
Using force in his waist and abdomen, he directly threw the boy out. The Iwa ninja was still stunned, and Kakashi, who had reached his head, had already drawn the short sword behind him.
Puff!
From top to bottom, the blade pierced into his brain. He glanced down, and saw that there were explosive tags burning on the Iwa ninja's corpse.
Boom--
A cloud of explosion completely engulfed the two. But the Kakashi that exploded was still a Shadow Clone!
His main body was behind Otonashi. Before he could catch his breath, he was kicked out by the latter. A mud dragon came head-on and instantly swallowed Otonashi.
"Not good!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Several white kunai were inserted into the mudflow, forming a circle formation. The golden-braided Iwa ninja, who was ashamed and angry, held his finger vertically in front of his nose.
"Die, you brat!!"
"Drink!"
Boom!!
A mushroom cloud of more than ten meters rose from the ground. The special blasting technique maximized the power! For a time, leaves fell and trees swayed. The Kakashis in the air flew out, and many of them crashed into trees and turned into white smoke and dissipated.
Shadow Clone, extremely weak in anti-strike ability!
When all the fatigue and pain were transmitted back to the main body, Kakashi gritted his teeth to prevent himself from fainting. He raised his head and recognized that the Iwa ninja captain used some kind of kekkei genkai. Fortunately, his kekkei genkai was weak, and it was very laborious to create that white bomb.
"I can't let him detonate again!" Unable to pay attention to Otonashi's safety, Kakashi charged forward, but he saw the captain put his hands together, and his mouth seemed to be chewing something, but the remaining few Chunin next to him immediately came to stop him.
Too late!
"Kakashi, be careful!" Seeing his companion in crisis, Obito finally rushed over, but as soon as he took a step, his legs seemed to be glued to the ground. He lowered his head and saw that his ankles were covered with white silk.
"Uchiha brat, your head is mine." Fuma Nobusuke walked over with a ferocious smile.
Sweat was all over Kakashi's childish face. He had never pinned his hopes on Obito, or rather, Obito's arrival was also to throw away one's life. The Iwa ninjas who were entangled in him retreated, and the golden-haired middle-aged man drew a white short spear from his mouth.
"Die!"
How could a veteran of the battlefield talk nonsense? The short spear was thrown out without hesitation. Time seemed to freeze in Kakashi's eyes. He had anticipated that the explosion would be extraordinary. His last thought was to form earth style to limit the explosion to his side!
Before the seal was completed, a sword flashing with electric arcs slashed past him. The short spear was cut in half in front of Kakashi's eyes.
There was no earth-shattering explosion. The battle also did not give people time to explain the principle. Otonashi, whose blade still had residual electricity, fell to the ground due to gravity, and his eyes met Kakashi's.
At this moment, the seal that Kakashi had half-formed in his hand changed abruptly.
"Earth Style! Earth Mausoleum Technique!!"
A huge rock suddenly appeared in the air and fell downward. This mere C-rank ninjutsu was originally used to smash people, but now it became Otonashi's stepping stone.
"Thanks!"
Bang!
The electric light that appeared on his feet actually kicked the boulder away, and the rushing force he gained turned Otonashi into a thunderbolt and shot forward, his body stretched into a straight line.
Using a sword as a spear, Lightning Spear!
Too fast, too close. The Iwa ninja captain still had doubts about the failure of the clay bomb in his mind. He just used the instinct of a Jonin to cross two kunai in front of his chest.
Clang!!
A huge force came, and his back vest hit the tree, making him feel as uncomfortable as if he was falling apart. He swallowed the blood back hard, and blocked two kunai over his head again.
Clang!
Side step, heavy slash!
The sword in Otonashi's hand had pressed down the kunai and slashed into his shoulder,卡住 [stuck] by the collarbone.
"You're dead!" The Iwa ninja's face, which was still handsome, was full of veins, and he grabbed Otonashi's wrist to prevent him from leaving.
The remaining two subordinates did not drop the line, and were rushing back with ninja swords. Otonashi didn't even look at his back and opened his mouth.
tui-- [onomatopoeia for spitting]
A cold light flashed, and a slender steel needle pierced through the Iwa ninja captain's forehead. The expression on his face suddenly froze, like he had been hit by a body-fixing technique.
Otonashi twisted his wrist, pulled out the long sword from the other party's shoulder and turned around to slash back. Suddenly, a fishy hot liquid sprayed on his face, and his vision became blood red, but he could clearly see the surprise remaining on the other party's face.
"Who did you just call brat?"
