Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Distance of vision
"How dare you run wild on the border of my Land of Fire? Do you look down on our Konoha too much?"
Just as the Kumogakure Ninja were about to use Lightning Release to eliminate the convoy, a voice from the sky startled them.
They looked up and saw a giant toad descending from above.
"Scatter."
The Kumogakure leader put away his Lightning Release and dispersed with the others.
Bang!
A huge cloud of dust rose.
A giant toad, three meters tall, landed in front of the convoy. Satoru stood on it, a smile on his face.
"First step of the strategy, scatter the enemy. Success."
Meanwhile, as the Kumogakure Ninja retreated, their gazes remained highly vigilant.
Besides paying attention to the enemy who descended from the sky, they also monitored the movements around them.
They possessed rich combat experience.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the Kumogakure leader retreated, Hayama exploded, transforming into countless falling leaves.
When he reappeared, the katana in his hand was already slashing towards the enemy's neck.
Clang!
At the crucial moment, the enemy was not to be trifled with; he also drew the blade from his waist and blocked the attack.
"Wind Release: Breakthrough."
Hayama formed a hand seal with one hand, and a storm struck the enemy's body.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The Kumogakure leader felt a stinging pain in his body and looked at the trickles of blood, his eyes serious.
He looked at the opponent's forehead protector: "A Konoha Ninja?"
Using the force of the Wind Release: Breakthrough, he quickly retreated into the forest, intending to engage in guerrilla warfare there.
...
"Tree Binding Jutsu."
A Kumogakure Ninja retreated, heard a voice, and turned his head, greeted by a pair of red eyes.
Then his entire body stiffened, and a large tree grew behind him, its branches entangling him.
"Genjutsu."
Hiss!
Just as he was about to release the Genjutsu, a giant snake appeared and bit his head.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
Decapitated,
Blood shot up into the sky under the pressure of his heart.
"Uchiha brat, you cooperate quite well!" Anko Mitarashi threw the head to the ground, and the giant snake returned to the form of her arm.
She praised Uchiha Itachi.
"Damn it, they are enemies."
Several Kumogakure Ninja, seeing a comrade die, showed anger in their eyes.
This time, they did not give Anko and Itachi a chance to surround them; instead, they surrounded the two of them.
Clang!
Bang! Bang!
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
...
Boom!
"Your opponent is me."
Satoru controlled the toad beneath him to leap, blocking the person who wanted to assist the other Ninja, who seemed to be a Jonin.
This was a dark-skinned man with black hair and a scar on his face.
He carried two swords on his back and wore no forehead protector.
He looked at Satoru with great vigilance.
His three-zhang-tall toad Summoning Beast, its eyes occasionally falling on the two battlefields in the distance.
"Hmph, seeking death."
KawaSuke formed hand seals, Chakra gathered in his mouth, and a lightning spear shot towards Satoru.
Whoosh!
"Aren't you too impatient?"
Satoru formed hand seals like an afterimage, completing them before the attack arrived.
"Wind Release: Breakthrough."
Wind countered lightning; the spear was immediately defeated by his Wind Release and continued to attack KawaSuke.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
KawaSuke's Lightning Release was merely a feint; before the Wind Release: Breakthrough arrived, he had already left his original position and moved rapidly towards Satoru.
The two swords on his back were drawn.
Lightning enveloped both swords.
"This guy is a Wind Release Ninja, I must concentrate on fighting, and also pay attention to his Summoning Beast."
KawaSuke looked at the large toad beneath Satoru, silently analysing in his mind.
The moment Satoru used Wind Release, he knew that he, being countered, was at a disadvantage in long-range combat.
He made a decisive move,
quickly approaching the enemy.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Lightning activated his cells, making his speed incredibly fast.
As he approached Satoru, his eyes constantly watched the enemy.
Suddenly.
Satoru formed hand seals.
"Another Wind Release?" he thought.
Then I'm sorry, you're going to die by my hand.
After preparing for a long time, he found that the anticipated attack did not come until he approached the opponent's Summoning Beast.
He swung his sword to cut...
Missed.
He swung again,
Missed,
He swung again...
"What's going on?"
KawaSuke found that no matter how he swung, his blade remained an inch away from the toad.
Even with lightning raging on the blade, it was still an inch away.
But his rich combat experience made him consider the possibility.
"Lightning Body Rush."
The Chakra in his body transformed into lightning, disrupting his own Chakra.
Immediately, the situation before his eyes changed,
His pupils constricted: "It is Genjutsu."
There was no close combat at all; he had only moved two steps, still ten meters away from Satoru.
A visual Genjutsu, then?
"Oh, not bad! My visual displacement Genjutsu, first time in actual combat,
And you broke it in such a short time, truly impressive!"
Satoru said with a laugh from atop the toad's head.
The Genjutsu didn't require much Chakra, so he wanted to test it in battle, and it performed better than he expected.
As for the toad beneath him, it was merely an imitation of Jiraiya's Summoning Beast, based on memories he had collected.
"Again."
Boom!
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
Lightning crackled, taijutsu clashed, and giant beasts surrounded them.
...
Zzz!
Uchiha Itachi tilted his head back, and the blade grazed his messy hair, scattering it in the air.
He threw Kunai with both hands; just as the enemy was about to block them, they collided with each other, attacking the enemy at tricky angles.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
"This taijutsu and kenjutsu, are they really from Kumogakure?" Itachi frowned slightly as his techniques were easily blocked.
Even with the Sharingan, dealing with so many enemies was difficult to win against.
He had to think of other ways.
His gaze fell on Anko; she was also quite dishevelled at this point, with many wounds on her body.
If not for her unique snake-style secret techniques, she would probably have been largely paralysed by the enemy's Lightning Release.
The enemies had also increased from six to eleven.
Because in addition to those originally sensed, there were also five spy Ninja from inside the convoy.
Added together.
Otherwise, he and Anko shouldn't have been so dishevelled.
In the distance,
Anko Mitarashi's Hidden Shadow Snake Hands forced the enemies back, and she exchanged a glance with Itachi, slowly retreating into the forest according to the battle rhythm.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Lightning Release, Shuriken, Kunai...
The battle was fierce for a time.
...
"Sir, should we go help?"
The guards of the hairy-faced uncle, seeing the Ninja wearing Konoha forehead protectors lead the enemies away, one of the subordinates spoke up.
If the Konoha Ninja failed, it would be their turn.
The others frowned upon hearing this.
The hairy-faced uncle felt relieved to be saved, but his mood was still very bad: "No, just wait here. We cannot suffer any more losses."
Looking at the messy ground around them, as well as several shattered carriages, and the dead guards and servants.
His heart ached!
It was all Konoha's fault for being too slow.
The other guards, hearing this, also quickly spoke up: "Yes, yes, yes, let them fight, and we'll act as the situation dictates."
How much money do you get in a month? Why risk your life?
They all looked at the guard who had just spoken, their eyes showing displeasure.
