Chapter 8 The Scales of Fate Take Lives
"The Technique of Concealing Mist"
A ninjutsu that even Konoha had not included.
The identity of the newcomer was already obvious—a ninja from Kirigakure (Hidden Mist Village).
The person who performed the technique was no ordinary practitioner; one could tell just by looking at the area covered by the technique.
But why target me?
It doesn't make sense from any perspective, whether it's political, intellectual, or bloodline-related.
The short sword was drawn again, and the Mist of Activity was activated immediately.
Two similar ninjutsu techniques, when combined, are practically flawless.
Mo Jingxian heightened her senses, but there were no enemies within the range of her technique.
"Heart, brain, kidneys, throat. Where do you think I should attack you?"
The cheerful sounds seemed to drift from east to west, as if coming from all directions, making it difficult to pinpoint their location.
Mo Jingxian was unaffected; the hand holding the knife remained completely still.
The two types of mist intertwined, preventing the enemy from entering the active mist's perception range.
He took the opportunity to experience the differences between the two techniques.
In comparison, the technique he released was not yet perfect; it was merely the dissipation of chakra itself, and the water element around him was not effectively organized.
No wonder there were no records on the panel.
The enemy seemed to have had enough fun, and seeing that intimidation had no effect, they took direct action.
The mist fluctuations were extremely subtle, and the longsword moved with incredible speed.
Only after he dodged did he hear a faint whooshing sound.
It exceeded the speed of sound!
He noticed it the moment the longsword appeared within the range of the active mist.
Despite Mo Jingxian's best efforts to dodge, she was still torn open on her shoulder.
The body's movements cannot keep up with the mind's thoughts.
The longsword came and went quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Perhaps it's inappropriate to describe this weapon as a longsword; it's more like a large, long needle.
The visitor's identity was finally confirmed.
The long sword of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist: Sewing Needle.
Chestnut Scattered Rice Balls!
But why would the other party appear in Konoha?
The thought was instantly forgotten; there's no point in dwelling on it now.
"Look what I've found! Are you one of the Hozuki family's little devils?"
The enemy seems to be playing cat and mouse, and has only made one move so far.
Beneath Mo Jingxian's torn clothes, her body had turned into clear water and was healing.
He was hoping the other party would ramble on and on, and ideally hold out until someone noticed something was amiss.
"Yes, my name is Hozuki Tsuki, and I'm in the same group."
The atmosphere remained silent for a few seconds before the enemy hiding in the shadows suddenly became enraged.
"No, this isn't a water-transformation technique! You're trying to fool me!"
Looking at the small amount of emotion points provided by the chestnut-flavored skewer, Mo Jingxian felt a pang of regret.
His little trick was still seen through by the other party. He didn't know any water transformation technique at all; he was just relying on water elements to wrap his body to make it look like that.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Mo Jingxian dodged all three rapid attacks thanks to her prophetic advantage.
He had fought on for so long and still hadn't seen the enemy, yet he was in increasing danger.
The clothes were torn, and two places were stained with blood.
This opponent was far too formidable, and Mo Jingxian knew she couldn't continue like this.
We must find a way to break this deadlock quickly, otherwise we might not be able to wait for reinforcements and will go to see our great-grandmother first.
"Water Python Technique Modified!"
He formed a hand seal, and the water python appeared in front of him, then transformed into countless small snakes that swam in all directions.
"Interesting technique, but do you think you can find me with it? Naïve!"
This feeling of being played is unpleasant, so Sen actively blocked out Kushimaru Kurihara's harassment.
The long needle arrives again.
It pierced through the chest silently.
The figure that remained in place turned into a puddle of clear water, and Mo Jingxian appeared ten meters away.
Using a water substitute to dodge the attack, a small water python also managed to crawl out of the range of the Mist Concealment Technique.
Now is the time.
Without any hesitation, he flew away, relying on his connection with the water element.
"Bang!"
The next moment, Mo Jingxian flew back.
The person turned into water droplets in mid-air, and their true form appeared where they had just stood, pale-faced.
Chakra was almost depleted.
For a moment, Kushimaru seemed to lose interest in speaking, and the fog was eerily quiet.
The pressure suddenly surged.
"Whoosh—hiss!"
Besides breathing, I could feel the sound of my heart beating like thunder and drums.
Cold sweat clung to the tips of his hair, threatening to drip into his eyes, but he dared not wipe it away.
A malevolent gaze was hidden where he couldn't see it, staring intently at him.
One second, two seconds...
suddenly!
Reputation information has been refreshed.
Several reputation points from the Uchiha clan appeared on the panel.
My reputation points have reached 998.
His eyes lit up; he was still two points short, perhaps he still had a chance.
"Kushimaru, stop playing around, it's almost time."
There's one more person!
Mo Jingxian's heart skipped a beat the moment the other person spoke.
The one who is with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen must be another member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
He didn't know exactly who it was, but there was no need to know.
With two elite Jonin attacking him, his chances of survival were almost zero.
"I'm bored. I want to play a little longer. It's rare to come across such an interesting bug."
"puff!"
A long sword pierced through his shoulder; it was Black Hoe Raiya who had successfully launched a sneak attack.
Damn it!
Mo Jingxian finally learned a lesson from these cunning old foxes in the ninja world. Despite having an absolute advantage, they still chose to launch a sneak attack.
Kushimaru's attack followed in the next instant; the two coordinated perfectly.
In an instant, three more holes appeared on Mo Jingxian's body, one in front and one in back.
If he hadn't twisted his body to avoid a fatal blow, he probably would have perished in the thick fog.
Two elite Mist Ninja successfully pinned him to the spot with their longswords.
The fog swirled, perhaps because the enemy was confident in their skills and didn't take it seriously enough.
The active mist swirled back, and Mo Jingxian emptied his chakra in one go. The giant water python swallowed the three of them whole.
This technique is a fusion of water rope binding and water prison techniques, possessing the effects of both.
Furthermore, its effect in trapping the enemy is even better than the Water Prison technique.
Kurisakumaru and Raiga Kurosugi looked like insects encased in amber, their expressions of shock still lingering.
Who would have thought that two elite Jonin would be caught off guard and trapped in a jutsu by a mere boy?
If they were in the wild, they would have many ways to get out of trouble, it would just be a waste of time.
But this is Konoha Village. If we were surrounded, the consequences would be obvious, and it would be difficult to die.
Raiga Kurozumi is also an exceptionally decisive person.
"Thunder Burial - Feast of Thunder"!
A blinding white light suddenly flashed, and almost at the same time, Mo Jingxian felt a sharp pain in his body.
The water flow completely dispersed, and the Water Serpent Technique was broken.
"Cough cough cough..."
A series of coughs.
Water is a conductive substance, and the effect of releasing a large amount of current from inside the anaconda is self-evident.
Although they successfully defeated the enemy, Kushimaru Kurihara and Raiga Kurosuki were also in a bad situation.
White smoke rose from above their heads, their clothes were tattered, and the air faintly smelled of roasting protein.
Naturally, this outcome extinguished his playful spirit, and Kurozuki Raiga raised his long sword and brought it down suddenly.
Just now, as the Lightning Release flowed through my entire body, Kurosuki Raiga provided two reputation points, bringing the total to 1000.
Mo Jingxian felt as if her eyelids weighed a ton, very heavy, very heavy.
In a daze, I seemed to see a scale, and driven by the instinct for survival, I recklessly placed my life on it.
"Peak Vortex Kushina 1-minute trial card, with 10 points of life attribute, redeem now?"
"Special reminder: After the exchange, the host will only have 1 year left to live."
Lightning Release dispersed the thick fog, and the lightning blade raised high by Raiga Kurosuki reflected a blinding light.
Mo Jingxian subconsciously narrowed her eyes.
"exchange!"
The thunder blade suddenly fell.
"boom!"
Chakra, as fiery and blood-red as it surged into the sky, and Mo Jingxian gradually floated up.
Slowly, gradually, he straightened up.
He immediately released the red Nine-Tails chakra—no! It was Chatona.
"Is this the power of the Nine-Tails? It's so powerful."
Mo Jingxian clenched her fist and glanced up at the two stunned people.
"My turn. Are you all ready?"
"Walk!"
Kurisaki Kushimaru and Kurosuki Raiga fled separately, without uttering a single harsh word.
"Diamond Lockdown!"
Eight golden chains flew out from Mo Jingxian's back, instantly piercing through the collarbones of both of them and dragging them back.
"Who are you? Impossible, impossible!"
Kushimaru Kurihara screamed, his face contorted in terror at the incomprehensible scene before him.
"Such powerful chakra even distorted space itself, hahaha... I didn't lose unjustly."
Everyone is different, and no matter how the two people behave, he is not prepared to let the enemy off easily.
After several punches, he first shattered the arms of the two men, and then slowly dealt with the rest.
The reputation points are flooding the screen, and are about to break the 50-point mark.
He was no longer in the mood to pay attention; he had staked decades of his life on this one gamble, and he needed to vent.
"Four Symbols Seal"!
"Eight Trigrams Seal"!
"Five Elements Seal"!
……
……
A series of sealing spells were cast, and the skin of the two prisoners was covered with runes.
Despite insults, pleas for mercy, demands for death, and indifference, Mo Jingxian remained unmoved.
In less than half a minute, the two experienced a hellish ordeal.
Mo Jingxian then broke the seals one by one, leaving the two of them confused.
"Get out!"
He released the two and let them leave.
The two looked at each other, neither daring to move for a moment.
"Want to die? Fine! I'll grant your wish."
He made a move as if he was about to attack again.
"No need, I'm leaving, no... I'm getting out, we're leaving right now."
Kurisaki Kushimaru and Kurozuki Raiga shuffled a few steps, looked back, and then shuffled a few more steps.
The two clearly did not believe the other would let them go.
Mo Jingxian certainly wanted to kill those two scumbags, but what happened afterward is inexplicable.
Even if they were blasted into dust, the Konoha leadership would still relentlessly pursue the Nine-Tails' chakra.
It would be better to pin the blame on the two of them.
Suppressing his murderous intent, and seeing that the two were still dawdling, he threw a punch at them.
next moment,
Kushimaru Kurihara and Raiga Kurosuki fully demonstrated the Body Flicker Technique of elite Jonin, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
After a few breaths.
As the energy dissipates, pain strikes the brain again.
He vaguely saw seven or eight figures rushing towards him from all directions.
Everything went black.
Then I knew nothing more.
-
Summer of Konoha Year 47.
The Sand Village of the Land of Wind launched a war under the pretext that Konoha had assassinated the Third Kazekage.
On the same day, Sand Ninja spies attacked Konoha's supply depot.
For some reason, spies from other ninja villages caught wind of this and, together with the Sand Ninja, caused a great deal of trouble for the Leaf Village.
After quelling the riots, Hiruzen Sarutobi convened a meeting overnight with high-ranking officials, ninja clans, and Jonin to discuss countermeasures.
The next day, as dawn broke.
The gates of Konoha slowly opened, and a ninja force of a thousand men emerged, heading to the Land of Rivers, 300 kilometers away, to provide reinforcements.
Mo Jingxian slept for three days.
