Chapter 109: How long has it been since you were still acting cool?!
"Boom-
With a loud noise, the river rose into the sky, and turbid sand and dazzling blood surged out together.
Minato was just wondering why there was such a scene in the river. In the next second, dozens of black shadows shot out from the river like dragons emerging from the water, landed steadily on the other side, and surrounded them.
He instantly entered a fighting state and stood back-to-back with Sen. His eyes glanced over, and Minato's pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly.
"More than twenty----all Anbu Jonin?! When did the elites from other villages sneak into the hinterland of Land of Fire?"
"You made a mistake." Sen's voice was terrifyingly calm.
"What's wrong? They are all wearing masks. This underwater assassination method is Anbu's standard method!" Minato asked while on guard.
"No," Sen said slowly, "I mean, they are not from other villages. They are Anbu of Konoha. Or - Root."
Before Minato could react from the shock, Sen raised his hand and pointed at a short ninja at the back of the encirclement.
"Look at that ninja who can't even hold his breath. Do you think he looks like Shimura Saburo?"
Minato followed the sound and found that the ninja's body was trembling slightly due to the cold. His hairstyle and body shape were exactly the same as Shimura Saburo.
As for the trembling on his body, it was probably caused by his lack of strength and soaking in the cold river for too long.
With such a height and weak screen strength, it is indeed very likely that he is Shimura Saburo.
After thinking about it, Minato said tentatively, "That's not the case. How dare that loser whose hand you cut off dare to sneak attack you?"
As soon as these words came out, the ninja was really excited. He pulled off his mask and revealed a face twisted with hatred. It was none other than Shimura Saburo!
His eyes were red, and he roared through gritted teeth, "Uchiha Sen! Namikaze Minato! Today, more than twenty of us Jonin are here just to take your lives!"
I'll see if you can still laugh later!"
He turned to the captain at the head and suggested eagerly. "Captain, come together and kill them!"
However, the captain seemed not to have heard it. He turned around suddenly and said in a low and angry voice, "Idiot! You can't see through such a simple way to provoke a general! Put on the mask for me! Have you forgotten all the rules? If you are not a member of Lord Danzo——"
Shimura Saburo was so scolded that he trembled all over and hurriedly put on his mask.
The captain suppressed his anger and issued a cold order, "According to the original plan, kill them and pretend to die with the traitorous ninja! Do it!"
With an order, dozens of Root Ninja launched attacks at the same time. Shuriken, Kunai, and long-range ninjutsu came overwhelmingly!
At this moment, Hand Seals was in Sen's hand. "Lava Release·The Art of Burning River Rocks!"
In an instant, hot magma erupted like a volcano, sweeping towards the enemy on the other side!
"Back off!" Captain Root ordered decisively, "It's the Lava Release in the intelligence! Everyone, work together to use Water Release to resist!"
"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"
Dozens of streams of water rose into the sky, converging into a huge wall of water that collided with the lava!
"Boom-chi--!"
The fusion of water and fire stirred up steam that filled the sky and instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.
Only then did Minato realize that more than half of the opponent's team were Water Release ninjas. Coupled with the geographical advantage, this was clearly a long-planned killing move against Sen Lava Release!
He immediately used Toad Oil to cooperate with Sen's fire escape. However, within a minute, he felt something was wrong.
Although Sen and Lava Release were strong, they began to be gradually suppressed by the opponent's almost unlimited water supply.
"Lava Release's nemesis is Water Release! With the chakra of you two, do you still want to fight against more than thirty of us Jonin?
What a fool!" Shimura Saburo's proud mocking voice penetrated the steam.
Minato's eyes became extremely solemn.
This may be the biggest crisis he has encountered in his life!
He put his arm on Sen's shoulder and said urgently, "Sen, don't hold on! I'm trying to use my incomplete Flying Thunder God to take us away!"
Although there may be a risk of space tearing, this is the only way! Cutting off arms and legs is better than dying!"
As he was talking, Sen patted his hand, and while maintaining Lava Release, he said vaguely, "What are you talking about------I--just playing with them--do you understand? Where is this?"
How long has it been since you were still acting cool?!
Minato's face is a little unhappy. You usually pretend to be in front of Kushina in private, and I will cooperate with you. Now is the time of life and death!
His face darkened. "Sen! Don't be brave, this is a matter of life and death!"
"I really admire you. How can you be Hokage in the future if you are so panicked?" Sen suddenly stopped Lava Release and allowed the huge water wave to surge in.
He closed his right eye calmly and said calmly, "Let me be the one."
As he finished speaking, a stream of bloody tears fell from the corner of his closed right eye.
The next second, the eye suddenly opened, and in the dark pupils, the strange Mangekyo pattern rotated rapidly!
"Lava Release is just an appetizer. Next, let you see the flame that never goes out!"
"Amaterasu!"
In an instant, overwhelming black flames appeared on top of Anbu Ninja and Water Release as Sen watched.
"I-left-left-, there is no violent explosion, no overwhelming momentum.
It was enough to withstand the surge of lava Water Release. The moment it came into contact with the black flame, it was like a drop of water on a hot soldering iron. It was instantly evaporated and annihilated, leaving not even a trace of steam behind!
The black flame even fell into the river, and the river water began to "burn"!
In just a few breaths, not only the remaining rocks of the enemy's Water Release and Lava Release were completely evaporated, but also most of the water in the river was evaporated.
"What kind of ninjutsu is this?" Minato lost his voice in shock, asking everyone the fear in their hearts.
Sen exhaled a breath and stopped. Amaterasu said, "The power is average, but you can't hit the enemy if you can't see it. It's a bit rigid."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present, whether it was Minato or the surviving Root Ninja, felt a sense of absurd jealousy in their hearts.
The ninjutsu just now solved the overwhelming Water Release in an instant, but for this guy Sen, it still feels average?!
"Captain, what kind of technique is this? Why have I never seen it before? Is it a variant of Lava Release?" A Root Ninja came back to his senses and asked the captain.
"It should be Mangekyō Sharingan's ability." Captain Root stared at Sen's changing pupils, "Be careful, this technique is too dangerous. It can even evaporate such a large amount of water."
Shimura Saburo saw everyone's intention to retreat, and quickly said, "Look at his eyes, they are all closed now. This technique must have huge risks. We should take advantage of the situation and pursue him now!"
