Chapter 136: Run
Chapter 136: Run, You Can Only Delay For A Moment!
Earth Style: Earth Wall!
While flying back, Kiba formed
seals with both hands. As his hands hit the ground, a wall of earth suddenly
rose. At the same time, he turned and ran, passing Morino Shinsuke and Kiuchi
Taketo who were getting up, shouting again, "Run! You can only delay for a
while!"
"Despair!"
The strong man landed on the
ground, blood flowing from wounds on his arm and chest. However, he paid them
no mind. Instead, he glanced angrily at Ma, who had died hanging on the earth
spear. Quietly clenching his fists, he looked at his long-time comrade.
That brat! I won't spare you!
"Bang bang bang!"
Flames, electric currents, and
water arrows collided with the earth wall the moment it was erected. The moment
they hit, the earth wall cracked inch by inch, collapsing within seconds. These
ninjutsu were not completely blocked. After the wall shattered, two flames
continued their path.
Kiuchi Taketo and Morino Shinsuke
reacted quickly. As Kiba passed by, they turned and ran. In the process, Morino
Shinsuke picked up the unconscious Fujiki Shigeru and leaped off the cliff with
Kiba. The moment they jumped, two groups of flames rushed out and dissipated
above them.
"Where are they?" the
Kumogakure ninjas watched the earth wall collapse, but Kiba's group had
vanished.
Out of the corner of their eyes,
they saw Ma hanging miserably on the earth spear. Anger flared as they realized
Ma's fate.
Immediately, two cloud ninjas ran
to the edge of the cliff and looked down.
This was a protruding cliff. To
escape, there were only two options: go back the way they came, which was
blocked by the enemy, or jump off the cliff.
Almost instantly, the cloud ninjas
realized.
Konoha ninja, no choice!
"Be careful!" Seeing the
actions of the two Kumo nin, the strong man cried out, flying to stop them, but
a tearing pain in his chest made him pause. The pause prevented him from
holding the two cloud ninjas back. They passed by his fingertips.
"Don't be impulsive! Calm
down, they did it on purpose!" The strong man widened his eyes, looking at
the two ninjas rushing forward. He stretched out his hands, blocking the three
cloud ninjas who were a step behind.
That brat is very cunning and insidious, evident
from the shuriken attack, and... that technique, it is the Shuriken Shadow
Clone Technique, Konoha's unique A-rank ninjutsu. He mastered this at such a
young age, plus the attack just now, that slash. He calculated that the kid
with the sword couldn't hurt me, prepared it long ago... using the sunlight, I
couldn't see his figure clearly, and I subconsciously thought it was Morino,
the best time to attack! I haven't slowed down yet!
Such a two-stage attack, the best performer is
Morino Shinsuke, the strongest among them. He was accurate, thinking I would
believe Morino was the executor of the second-stage attack. This misled me,
made me misjudge the strength, and perform a double-blade parry. If I knew it
was him, I wouldn't have parried with double blades!
His ultimate goal was to let me block with two
knives, disguise my hands, then let Morino, the strongest, carry out the third
attack of lore... If it wasn't for my quick response, I'd be the same as Ma.
This kid's scheming is too scary!
The strong man looked at the wound
on his chest. Four swords came together, this one the most dangerous. If he
hadn't dodged, it would have wiped his neck, potentially decapitating him.
He yelled, "Stop it, this is
an order!"
However, it was too late. The two
cloud ninjas had already reached the edge of the cliff. Just as they were about
to stop, two figures leapt from below, throwing them to the ground.
As they fell, two shurikens
pierced their hearts, blood flying.
Standing beside their bodies were
a seven-year-old child and a teenage boy.
Exactly, Kiba and Kiuchi Taketo!
Damn! Got them!
The strong man glanced at the two
fallen Kumo nin, frowning, and said in a low voice, "Don't be
impulsive!"
Though the voice was low, it was
majestic. The three cloud ninjas behind him were startled and then calmed down,
suppressing their anger.
The other side is trying to provoke us!
"Success," Kiuchi Taketo
said.
"Yes," Kiba nodded,
glancing at the broken short sword on the ground, staring at the strong man.
Where is Morino Shinsuke?
The strong man's heart was full of
ominous premonitions, while he looked at Kiba and Kiuchi Taketo, his eyes
wandering, searching for Morino Shinsuke's trace.
These guys don't want to escape, they want to kill
us all! We've already lost four people!
The strong man's eyes wandered,
looking for Morino Shinsuke, also judging their positions, trying to anticipate
where Morino Shinsuke might attack.
They stood at the junction of the
cliff and the dense forest, blocking the Konoha ninjas' retreat. The corpses of
their two companions lay there, with the two young boys beside them.
Where? Where will the attack come from!
The strong man frowned, but Morino
Shinsuke never appeared, and even Kiba and Kiuchi Taketo were only focused on
vigilance, not attacking.
Why... why not attack?
Why don't they attack? Why doesn't Morino Shinsuke
attack?
The strong man was alert,
thinking, then had a flash of inspiration.
The reason Morino Shinsuke didn't attack... was
because there was no chance! Although I don't know their plans, it's already a
stalemate!
They killed four of my companions but still aren't
sure about killing us. They can't escape without killing us. If they truly
planned to jump off the cliff, they would have done it. They can't jump off the
cliff intact, likely leading to death.
Only by killing us can they escape!
So, the ones taking the initiative now... are still
us!
Thinking this, a smile appeared on
the strong man's mouth.
I was stunned by the wave just now, they sacrificed
in vain! We have always had the advantage, the number of people, the strength,
we have the advantage!
Here, we just need to attack by force!
Thinking this, the strong man
ordered in a low voice, "Stay on guard. Morino Shinsuke is hiding under
the cliff. Leave one person to assist my ninjutsu. Since they won't come out,
I'll go and force him out!"
The cloud ninjas instantly
understood their captain's intentions and nodded.
The strong man snorted coldly,
then his body sank slightly, and with a flash, he suddenly disappeared from his
place.
Coming!
Kiba and Kiuchi Taketo tightened
their expressions, thinking simultaneously.
