N-A-A Chapter 60 Ambush
Chapter 60 Ambush
May 9th, late at night, in the Whirlpool Mountain mine in the Land of Whirlpools.
The young female Chunin from Kirigakure, Shioya Masami, carried a bucket of blood and poured it onto the black crystalline ore in front of her. The blood seeped into the stone, gradually cracking and darkening. After cracking, fine, powdery metal particles fell out.
Seeing this, tide Gu quickly gathered them up and put them into a small bag.
Meanwhile, the somewhat lazy scarred ninja, Urami Nazō, looked up out of sheer boredom and saw a cluster of minerals above.
Urami Namizaki, who already felt that having himself "mined" was a waste of his talents, jumped onto the roof upon seeing this, his feet imbued with chakra, hanging upside down while holding a bucket of blood. He was about to immerse the cluster of ore directly into the blood...
Seeing his younger brother's listlessness, the scarred man, Urami Kirita, could only shake his head helplessly—he didn't personally take charge either; just to be on the safe side, he was still watching over the three merchants from the Land of Waves.
Just then...
Urami Kirita suddenly froze, and the surroundings instantly went dark. At the same time, the sound of a sword flying in a hand came from the corner of the mine, as well as... Urami Namizo's scream.
"Oh no! It's an illusion, there's an enemy... Release!" Urami Kirita reacted, holding a kunai to block the attack in the darkness. The sparks from the clashing ninja tools illuminated a young face for a fleeting moment in the darkness.
However, Urami didn't have time to care about whether it was childish or not, because before the "face", what he noticed was... a pair of red eyes!
Urami Kirita immediately stepped back, his hands forming hand seals continuously...
"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!" Urami is a Hidden Mist Villager, but that doesn't mean he can't use Fire Release.
His fire release technique was indeed not very powerful. After all, he didn't have any fire release chakra transformations, and "Flame Bullet" itself wasn't a large-scale ninjutsu.
The reason it spews burning oil balls everywhere is not to harm the enemy, but to illuminate the surroundings!
Urami Kirita realized this at that moment...
At first, my sudden loss of vision was indeed an illusion, but now that the illusion has been broken, my vision has not been restored... because of the sound of those swords being wielded, which were aimed at the torches!
I can't see it now, not because of an illusion, but because it's truly pitch black.
But after the surroundings were illuminated, Urami Kirita's heart sank. He saw that the two young men, Momochi Senzan and Shioya Shinsui, were trapped by a sticky water-style chakra, while the screaming Hazo had his hands pierced by kunai...
At the same time, Kirita realized that he had not been mistaken after all—a kid who was clearly from the Uchiha clan was now standing between him and the three merchants from the Land of Waves!
and……
In his hand was a completed seal, the Dog Seal, which was now activated with chakra, clearly the last seal.
Urami Kirita knew that most techniques ending with the Dog Seal were Earth Release techniques, and most of them were solid Earth Release ninjutsu. However, he couldn't tell what kind of technique it was because he hadn't seen the preceding seal.
Even if you make a judgment, it's useless...
Having just spat out the "Flame Bullet," it's impossible for Kirita to instantly form hand seals and perform any ninjutsu.
Earth Release: Rock Pillar Prison!
After Akashi formed a hand seal, he slammed his palm on the ground, and several rock pillars rose up around Urami Kirita, "imprisoning" the already cornered Urami Kirita in place!
Urami Kirita sneered when he saw that it was just a ninjutsu that restricted movement—what use was such a ninjutsu to him when he hadn't lost his ability to move? As expected, Konoha was full of hothouse flowers, already used to peace!
Urami immediately formed hand seals, attempting to break the restrictive rock pillar, but in the next instant, several kunai pierced the pillar with a "whoosh," and at the same time, Akaishi assumed the fighting hand seals...
If it were just kunai, there would be nothing to be afraid of, but... Urami had already seen out of the corner of his eye that there was an "explosive tag" floating on the tail of each of the five or six kunai.
Seeing the Uchiha brat staring intently at him with his right hand still forming the fighting seal, Urami knew that if he made the slightest move, the other party would detonate the explosive tags!
Looking at the other person's blood-red eyes and indifferent gaze, Urami gradually stopped forming hand seals.
……
With Akashi and Ranma working together, they swiftly subdued four Chunin from Kirigakure, effectively "saving a lot of chakra."
If it really comes down to a 2 vs 4 battle, even if they win in the end, Akaishi and Lanwu will inevitably consume a lot of chakra.
But now...
Lanwu used "Darkness Travel Technique" to control the field, and "Water Release: Harness" to control two young Chunin. The energy consumed by extinguishing the torch with her shuriken was negligible. Akaishi used the Sharingan's exclusive genjutsu "Eye Technique: Heart Terror" to control the two people outside who hadn't entered, ambushed Urami Namizawa who had rashly approached him, and used "Stone Pillar Prison" to imprison the last one, Urami Kirita...
Neither of them had expended much energy, and their combat strength hadn't decreased much!
"Have you managed to subdue the two people outside?" Lan Wu immediately asked Chi Shi.
"No," Akaishi said with a dark expression.
Lan Wu frowned, and Akashi further explained, "The guys from Kirigakure are a bit crazy. I originally just wanted to use Sharingan genjutsu to control the two of them, but one of them, named Shiokawa, went berserk and killed the other, named Mizawa... He was about to escape the genjutsu's range."
"Dead?" Lan Wu sighed helplessly upon hearing this, but... since he was already dead, she had no intention of blaming Chi Shi.
Shiokawa and Mizawa entered Akaishi's line of sight as they approached the mine, where they were controlled by the Sharingan. They were first made to circle in place, and then their inner fears were triggered.
Mingze discovered the problem first and withdrew from the area in time, while Shiokawa was a step too slow, and...
More insane than Akaashi imagined!
If the two had broken free of the illusion, they might not have immediately gone out to seek help. They might have turned back to rescue or warn their companions. However, Shiokawa went berserk and killed one of his companions. After that, he naturally continued to run away. Akaishi had no time to control him.
"How could Brother Shiokawa... You're lying!" the young Momochi Senzan said angrily.
Upon hearing this, Akaishi curled his lip: "Speaking of which... he also kept saying that the ninja clans were treacherous, so you guys don't seem to be very united and harmonious?"
Urami Kirita's pupils contracted upon hearing this, and he vaguely understood what had happened.
after all……
This is the biggest pain point of the nearly twenty years of turmoil in Kirigakure!
It started as the Third Mizukage trying to eliminate the Hozuki clan, but the scale grew larger and larger. Although there was some infighting between ninja clans at the beginning, it gradually became a confrontation between commoner ninjas and ninja clan ninjas.
It took a lot of effort for Master Gouju to reach some consensus between the two sides...
"Lanwu, watch the detonation tag," Chishi said, forming the hand seal for "Summoning Technique."
What appeared this time was the number "three".
Emerging from the three characters was a mask that resembled a human figure, yet its patterns were chilling and terrifying. Immediately afterward, a fully human-shaped body emerged from behind it, holding a scythe...
Looking at the "strange person" summoned by the Konoha ninja, and at the mask of the "Three Platforms Messenger," Urami felt a little guilty...
"Konoha ninjas, are you going to war with Kirigakure?!" Urami Kirita tried to use his self-righteousness to cover up his guilty conscience.
