Kumogakure's Assassin Ninja! The Wood Human Clone Breaks the Deadlock
Shinki watched speechlessly as Jiraiya continued to indulge in his pleasures.
It turns out that the safety of his disciple is not as important as his current pleasure!
Shinki couldn't bear to look and left.
Jiraiya lay in the woman's arms, silently watching the back of the Shinki.
It wasn't that he didn't care about the Shinki, but rather that he knew that currently, only a handful of people in the entire human realm could actually move Shinki.
For Shinki, ordinary Assassin Ninjas are merely whetstones to sharpen his Shinki!
After leaving the house, Shinki used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to Naruto's side.
If the other party's target is themselves, it's hard to guarantee they won't also target Naruto, who's always traveling with them.
Moreover, Naruto carries the Nine-Tails, so it would be troublesome if the Akatsuki took advantage of the situation.
Naruto was buying Rasengan when he noticed Shinki suddenly appear. He asked in surprise, "Hey, Shinki, why are you dressed so formally? It looks like you're about to go to war!"
"But your armor is pretty cool, can you get me a set too? (´◊ω◊`)"
Shinki removed the Summoning Scroll from his lower back.
The Scroll contained a set of items he had prepared for Naruto.
Shinki made a hand seal and took out a set of Naruto's armor.
"Put them on."
Naruto looked at the armor in Shinki's hand with surprise. "You actually bought me a set too?! That's awesome! ( *ˊᵕˋ)✩︎"
After saying that, he ignored the strange looks from passersby and put on his armor.
And so, two children dressed in armor appeared on the street.
Meanwhile, the Assassin Ninjas who had been observing Shinki from the shadows: ¯_(ツ)_/¯
"Captain, do these two kids think their armor can stop our attacks?"
"A certain Assassin Ninja said cautiously."
"They are still young, so it's normal for them to be a bit naive."
The Assassin Ninja captain analyzed.
One wary Ninja said, "To have mastered Senjutsu and Wood Release at the young age of thirteen, can such a child really be naive?"
The leader of the Assassin Ninjas sighed, "This child is truly exceptionally talented, but unfortunately, his existence is a threat to our village; he must be eliminated!"
As the Ninjas were chatting, suddenly, one of the lookout Assassin Ninjas' pupils dilated. "Captain! They've escaped!"
The Assassin Ninja leader looked helpless. "Did he use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport again? The Flying Thunder God is such a hassle; he gets away so easily."
The observing Ninja replied, "No, they went out of the town!"
"Oh?"
The leader's face, hidden behind the mask, revealed a look of surprise!
Various countries have regulations stipulating that battles between Ninjas must not involve ordinary civilians.
Therefore, their movement within towns is too restricted.
Now, Shinki is actually going to the sparsely populated suburbs, which is clearly creating an opportunity for them to take action!
The Leader the Assassin Ninjas immediately issued the order.
"Everyone, keep up!"
"Bing, Ding, Wu, Wei, you Formation in front of them and must restrict the Flying Thunder God's movements. Such opportunities are rare!"
On a vacant plain on the outskirts of a small town.
Shinki and Naruto walked through the dense forest and stopped here.
The next moment!
"Buzz--"
A purplish-red light curtain enveloped the two of them, forming a rectangular space!
This is Formation specifically prepared by the Assassin Ninjas to restrict the Flying Thunder God of the Shinki.
Within this space, the power of Ninjutsu and all spacetime activities are restricted!
In other words, the Shinki trapped in the Formation is like a turtle in a jar—it can't escape!
After successfully trapping Shinki and Naruto with their Formation, the Assassin Ninjas leaped out from the shadows!
"Captain, we did it!"
"Ninja Chen shouted excitedly."
They were an assassination squad sent by the Kumogakure.
Knowing the mission would be difficult, the Raikage selected an Assassin Ninja squad comprised entirely of Kumogakure ninja, each possessing at least Jonin- level strength!
This elite assassination squad secretly infiltrated Konoha from the moment they received their mission, waiting for the right opportunity to carry out their assassination.
Afterwards, Shinki followed Jiraiya, and they followed him all the way.
Now, we've finally trapped that strange little brat inside the Formation!
"To die or to live?"
The Assassin Ninja responsible for maintaining the Formation asked Wu Wen.
The Assassin Ninja captain gave the order, "That Red-Haired Kid is dead! That blond kid is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha this generation, bring him back to the village!"
"Receive!"
The four Ninjas responsible for maintaining the Formation shouted!
Lightning Release crackled and popped within the Formation!
Faced with the lightning in the sky, Naruto and Shinki inside the Formation realized the impending danger and frantically ran around like headless flies.
The next moment.
"Boom!"
Above the Formation, a flash of lightning, as thick as a bowl, struck Shinki and Naruto directly within the Formation!
Instantly, the two children were paralyzed by the electric shock!
A strange look appeared in the eyes of one of the Assassin Ninjas. "Captain, something seems off. That Red-Haired Kid has mastered the Eight Gates and has superhuman physical abilities. How could he be stunned into immobility after just one strike?"
The Ninja captain also had some doubts, but still explained and analyzed the situation.
"This Four Thunder Sealing Formation was improved by the village's barrier master. It can not only restrict space and the Chakra of those trapped, but also unleash extremely powerful lightning."
"This Formation is now being cast by four Elite Jonin. The power of the lightning is no less than that of an A-Rank Lightning Release Ninjutsu. No matter how strong that kid's physique is, he'll be paralyzed by the lightning!"
As soon as the Ninja captain finished explaining, one of the Assassin Ninjas pointed in terror into the Formation.
"Captain, look!"
"They're supposed to be elite Ninjas from Kumogakure, what's with all this panicking!"
The Ninja captain first gave a reprimand, then followed his subordinate's gaze and looked into the Formation.
Then, his pupils suddenly contracted!
Because, inside the Formation, the armored Shinki and Naruto had turned into two pieces of wood!
Assassin Ninjas: = ͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪ ‧̣̥̇), ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!, ∑(°Д°)
"Oh no, it's Wood Release Clone!"
The captain shouted.
"Wood Release Clones are different from ordinary Shadow Clones; they are almost identical to the original body. No wonder we didn't notice anything amiss!"
The Ninja captain realized what was happening and led his men in a retreat!
At the same time.
A voice, neither too loud nor too soft, rang out from the dense forest behind the Assassin Ninjas.
"Wood Release: Wood Dragon!"
"Splash!!"
A giant Wood Dragon, forty or fifty meters long, emerged from the dense forest and crashed straight into the Ninjas in the clearing!
"Whoosh!"
The Wood Dragon by, catching the Ninjas off guard, and their formation broke apart!
Immediately afterwards, the Shinki that had been hiding in the forest pressed its advantage.
Clapping hands!
"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"
"Boom!!"
A giant Wooden Man, forty or fifty meters tall, appeared in the dense forest!
Naruto and Shinki are standing on top of the Wooden Man, controlling it to Wooden Man step by step toward the Kumogakure Assassin Ninjas!
The captain of the Assassin Ninjas looked at the Shinki above the Wooden Man's head, his teeth itching with hatred.
Unexpectedly, after years of Ninja, he had fallen for a child's trick!
"Retreat! Everyone retreat!"
