Chapter 128: Demolition
Chapter 128: Demolition
"Boom boom boom!"
Huge flames and smoke rose in the
forest. A series of explosions sounded behind Kiba, and even the splintered
wood from the blast hit his back, making him frown slightly.
Close call...
Kiba narrowed his eyes and let out
a breath. To be honest, his hands were still shaking. He had acted out of
desperation.
Really, I was impulsive just now! No, I was afraid!
In fact, a large part of the
reason why Kiba decided to launch an attack was the thought of words like
"captured," "tortured," and "controlled by various
spells." It disrupted his calm.
For Kiba, these words were among
the things he feared the most, even surpassing the fear of death. Death might
only take a moment. Although Kiba was afraid of death, he also thought about
it. Maybe it would pass quickly.
Of course, this was what he
thought when he was in a state of despair.
From Kiba's perspective, what was
more terrifying than dying in a short time was long-term pain. Being tortured
and controlled were the most painful and difficult. The most pitiable thing was
being controlled. In the original work, when Rin Nohara became Sanbi
Jinchuriki, she would rather commit suicide than endanger her village. But
because of Madara's spell, she couldn't even commit suicide.
She couldn't even commit suicide
and could only be manipulated like a puppet. Isn't that the most painful thing!
Kiba thought of that phrase,
"Then, you'd torture me and extract information about the village?"
What happened next was what
happened just now.
"When did the shadow clone
come out?" Morino Shinsuke suddenly asked. They were shuttling through the
dense forest, not yet confirmed safe, unsure if anyone was still chasing them.
However, Morino couldn't help but
ask.
"During the Water Formation
Wall," Kiba replied. Morino's stunning sword just now made Kiba very
admiring. Killing six ninjas with one sword—what kind of strength was that? And
what speed! Twelve sword lights—Kiuchi Taketo's swordsmanship was passed down
from Morino Shinsuke. But he was far from Morino Shinsuke.
Kiba originally thought Konoha-ryu
swordsmanship could only master the Crescent Moon Dance. But after seeing
Morino Shinsuke's and Kiuchi Kento's swordsmanship, Kiba felt that Konoha-ryu
swordsmanship might also be an extremely powerful part of ninja power not shown
in the original work.
For a moment, he almost wanted to
learn this swordsmanship.
As for the shadow clone, Kiba
didn't think too much when it was separated. It was either a habit or to keep a
backup, not intended to attack.
Unexpectedly, the shadow clone
made the same decision and quickly launched an attack when he formed the seal.
Morino frowned slightly.
Was it that time? We were focused on the explosion
and didn't pay attention to our surroundings. The child quietly split out of
the shadow clone and hid in the water.
Morino recalled when the water
barrier blocked the kunai from the explosion. Their minds were focused on the
powerful exploding tags , ignoring their surroundings.
Moreover, this child's reaction is quite good. He
almost saw the kunai with me, meaning he must have been on guard all the time.
And he reacted quickly, noticing the detonating symbol before me.
The series of attacks just now were well-timed.
Using the shadow clone to preemptively strike, distract the ninjas, and create
an opportunity to attack.
The last water spout... Is it worthy of being a
genius who amazed all of Konoha? The power and speed are impeccable!
What is even more commendable is the child's
on-the-spot decisiveness. I have performed so many tasks, and I still hesitated
in that situation. But this child did not hesitate at all. He firmly believed
in his decision and used his best performance to realize it.
Vaguely, it seems like the original Minato!
Perhaps the Third Hokage's real intention in sending
this child...
At this time, Kiuchi Taketo
frowned slightly after hearing Kiba and Morino Shinsuke's question and answer.
Even after so many missions, I was still a bit
unresponsive to such a sudden situation.
Kiba, on his first mission...
Thinking of this, he gritted his
teeth lightly.
The gap is too big!
As for Fujiki Shigeru, his face
was distorted, and his face was so ugly that he was dying. But the panic and
horror were gone. If one could tell from his face, it was fear.
The situation just now was a close call!
When they first entered the woods,
the sound of explosions came with splashes of water and wood chips. Several
pieces of wood hit his back.
Hateful! This brat! Doesn't he know how dangerous it
is? If this continues, he'll kill himself!
At this time, at the lake.
"Clatter!"
The sound of the explosion
stopped, and the water column stirred up by the explosion slowly fell. Some
wood pieces and broken branches on the bank were also carried along with the
water rushing to the bank.
A figure stood in the woods,
looking at the opposite shore where the four had left.
Sure enough, this mob couldn't stop Konoha's ninja.
What a waste of such good information!
Looking at the several corpses
floating back with the lake water, a figure slowly emerged. A burly man with
big arms and a round waist. His face was full of dissatisfaction and disdain
for these corpses.
"A thief is a thief after
all. No matter how much you train, it is impossible to become a real ninja.
Just a shadow clone makes them too scared to attack. That kid, who looks like
he is only seven or eight years old, even when he first came out falling into
the water, I underestimated him. I never thought... Damn it, why does the damn
Konoha Village always produce such geniuses!"
The burly man frowned, displeased.
However, he soon calmed down.
"That's good. They are
defeated this time. They should also know that this mission is not something
they can handle. They will definitely ask for rescue. The goal has been
achieved."
The strong man sneered and turned
his head.
But he saw that the forest was
full of wooden mechanisms, similar to crossbow arrows but much smaller,
seemingly used to launch kunai.
"They should think this group
of bandits has many people."
The strong man smiled
complacently, walked into the forest, and began dismantling the machines.
When dismantling, be careful not to leave traces.
The strong man reminded himself,
but his speed of demolition was accelerating.
