Normally, in theory, Yuhara should have been riddled with holes by the opponent's tracking shuriken long ago. However, because both sides were "colleagues," both Magnet Release Ninjas, Yuhara actually blocked all those attacks. This was something the enemy never expected. In fact, if he wanted to, he could have completely made the enemy's magnetization ineffective.
But he didn't do that, all to create the fact that he was both weak and already injured.
The enemy wasn't exactly careless, because even though Yuhara was "injured," he still kept a close eye on Yuhara's movements, preventing a sudden counterattack. But who would have thought this person wouldn't even form hand seals?
"Stop him!"
A Cloud Hidden Ninja shouted loudly.
The sudden shift in the battle situation made them lose their composure.
At this moment, Yuhara reached his right hand behind his back, then casually pulled out a large bow. He alternated his hands, holding the bow with his left and drawing the string with his right. An iron arrow was instantly formed.
The next moment, Yuhara began to run sideways, as the Lightning Release enemy had already closed in. While running, he still held the bow with both hands, steadily pointing the arrow's tip in one direction:
"Secret Technique: Seaweed God"
Driven by the stored potential energy in the bow and the magnetic force gathered by Yuhara, the thumb-thick iron arrow shot out with a speed that seemed to pierce space, instantly reaching its target. It directly hit Toroi's forehead, and then countless sharp spikes spread out in a cone shape, turning the enemy's head into a piece of postmodern art in the blink of an eye... This move was clearly imitating the Impaling Technique.
This finishing blow seemed somewhat redundant, but in Yuhara's impression, some ninjas were quite difficult to kill, so a finishing blow was always necessary.
Even though the enemy's entire right half had been shattered into pieces, biologically speaking, wasn't there a concept called mitosis? Looking at this scene, mitosis, and then cell division, indicated that the enemy had the possibility of survival and continuation.
Before he could check the results of the battle, the Lightning Release enemy had already closed in!
A side kick carrying lightning struck Yuhara's left abdomen fiercely, making him stagger and almost fall to the ground. He forcefully took a large step to the right with his right leg, instantly stabilizing himself and resisting the opponent's attack in a forceful manner.
At the same time, a large amount of blood flowed out... from the enemy's right leg.
"Secret Technique: Thorn Bird"
Several sharp iron spikes extended from Yuhara's side, easily piercing the opponent's right leg with the help of the enemy's attacking force.
Underneath Yuhara's clothes, a layer of metal armor could form at any time for defense. Moreover, because of his alteration of its metallic properties, the strength and defensive power of this armor were extremely exaggerated.
The Lightning Release made his body slightly numb, but this was completely bearable.
Although Yuhara's Taijutsu was poor, he didn't dislike close combat with enemies now. On the contrary, he preferred situations where the enemy actively closed the distance. As a ninja, Yuhara now only had two insignificant advantages: extremely strong defense and exceptionally high attack power.
Two long swords extended from his palms. One was silver and as thin as a cicada's wing, surrounded by cold air, while the other was black but glowed with a reddish light from within:
"Secret Technique: Thorn Bird: Cold Plume Blazing Feather"
Yuhara swung each sword to his side, then quickly retreated, seemingly unconcerned about the effect of the previous attack. After a brief pause, Yuhara looked at the remaining two enemies.
After staring at them for a moment, Yuhara simply began to retreat at his maximum speed.
The enemy who used Lightning Release had his right arm severed at the shoulder, but no blood flowed from the wound. Instead, the severed end showed signs of being cauterized by high heat.
"Hey, your arm..."
Another enemy approached the Lightning Release ninja. Seeing that his teammate seemed unfazed by the severed arm, he gently pushed him, and then something rolled to the ground with a gurgle.
Blood finally gushed out...
An eruption.
Unlike the last time when he merely kicked the enemy, this time Yuhara personally took care of two enemies. He had to admit one fact: compared to the environment changing people, people changing the environment was extremely rare.
Since arriving in this world, Yuhara had participated in several battles and seen various corpses. In such situations, he had actually become somewhat numb, his psychological tolerance gradually increasing, and his moral standards decreasing.
If you don't kill, you get killed. Thinking too much in this situation is just asking for trouble.
Moreover, if the skill of sneak attacks is high enough, even a Jonin can be killed by a Chunin or even a Genin through a sneak attack.
After dealing with two enemies and exposing all his trump cards, making surprise attacks difficult, Yuhara decisively ran away again... It could only be said that he had a relatively clear understanding of his own abilities.
He didn't need to worry about the remaining two enemies. They specialized in Earth Release and Fire Release and lacked the ability to pursue, which was something Yuhara had observed from the beginning.
On the Konoha camp side.
Minato Namikaze, having received the distress signal, had already arrived at the front lines from Konoha.
After thoroughly understanding the current situation, he said:
"Looking at it this way, Cloud Hidden is actually on the defensive. It's as if they were suddenly provoked by something. At this point, it's hard for us to determine if they will really launch an all-out war...
We must be fully prepared, but we should not act rashly for now.
So, I will go and scout the situation in Cloud Hidden. It would be best to determine what exactly happened over there."
Orochimaru nodded, "You're truly reliable, Minato. Let's do as you say."
"Then I'll leave the matters at the camp to Lord Orochimaru." Minato Namikaze nodded, and then his figure instantly disappeared from his spot.
Well, Minato Namikaze is at the front lines, everything adds up... If one day the truth of what's happening before our eyes comes to light, I wonder how many people will have their blood pressure skyrocket.
Yuhara hurried towards the Konoha camp. He didn't encounter any Cloud Hidden ninjas again in the Cloud Hidden controlled area. And in the Konoha controlled area, he didn't even encounter any Konoha ninjas... It was then that he finally realized something was wrong.
Moreover, this time he was stopped by Konoha ninjas at the outer perimeter of the Konoha camp.
"Halt, who goes there?"
"Genin Yuhara, returning from a special mission under orders. Top secret codename SJMS0054," Yuhara said.
Although his identity as a Genin and the secret mission indicated only by a codename were completely mismatched, the ninja checked the relevant information and found that Yuhara's identity was not problematic. He could only lead him towards the camp.
"Excuse me, what happened here? I haven't been away from the camp for that long, but the atmosphere seems to have changed quite a bit..." Yuhara tried to ask the ninja what was going on.
The ninja glanced at him and explained, "We're preparing for a major battle with Kumogakure. This might be the final battle between Konoha and Kumogakure in this Ninja World War."
The news stunned Yuhara; he found it hard to believe.
"A major battle? There wasn't any sign of that before... War is truly unpredictable and unreasonable..."
In Yuhara's opinion, even if the war wouldn't end soon, its scale should have been gradually shrinking. How did it suddenly escalate?
It didn't make much sense
