Ambushing the Otsutsuki, Jingze the Lackey: Master, Save Me~

"Trials are good, trials are great~" Qingwu was extremely happy.

In the novels of his past life, which of those high-and-mighty protagonists didn't rely on trials to accumulate their first pot of gold? Now that it was his turn, he certainly couldn't fall behind!

"Lord Qingwu~ This small one is willing to serve you faithfully."

Following Otsutsuki Jingze's oath, a mysterious mark appeared deep within his soul; it was the Small World's proof of his loyalty, and also its shackles...

"Lord Qingwu, where shall we head now? Should we go straight to the core area, or look for stragglers to target?" Otsutsuki Jingze said with a chuckle. Since he had decided to be a turncoat, he might as well be thorough; he really did want to see the Ninja World.

"How about we go to the Final Land and set an ambush? It's a mandatory path anyway, they'll definitely go there..."

Qingwu gave him a deep look.

"Jingze, you are a talent."

"Hehe~ You flatter me, my Lord." Otsutsuki Jingze accepted the praise humbly, without a hint of embarrassment.

This posture.

Qingwu immediately thought of Kabuto: "Alright. Let's test the waters with the stragglers first, see if any of these people have anything worth taking, and find some amusement..." He really was similar, a hidden viper.

Upon hearing this, Otsutsuki Jingze immediately offered a suggestion: "Then let's go to the East District. The guys over there are stronger than our group, but only by a limited margin; they're perfect for finding some fun."

"Good~ Lead the way, let's go~"

And by his side, Otsutsuki Jingze acted just like a guide, leading him toward a new journey.

Qingwu had already changed into an Otsutsuki-style outfit, so he didn't look out of place alongside Jingze.

"Clang, clang~"

"Thump, thump~"

There were sounds of fighting.

"My Lord, it's a genius from the main family... I didn't expect him to lead a team to clear out us small fries first~" Otsutsuki Jingze recognized the other party and was somewhat startled.

"Oh?! A genius~"

Qingwu's eyes lit up: "A genius, I love geniuses. How is his strength?!"

Jingze said: "Inscrutable. Even some of the older generation are no match for him."

"Surprise attack, catch them off guard."

"My Lord, if we just attack directly like this, what if some fish slip through the net? We'll be finished. We might end up being hunted by the entire clan."

"My Lord, wouldn't it be better to wait until they are both exhausted and pick up the scraps?"

Seeing Jingze's anxiety, Qingwu said: "Rest assured, victory is guaranteed. One against thirty-seven, the advantage is mine."

Qingwu suddenly remembered that he still had the move "Lightning Style: Electromagnetic Wave"; this technique was simply a weapon for group battles! Thus, he unleashed this ultimate skill without hesitation.

"Zzzzt~"

In an instant, a powerful electromagnetic wave erupted from his hands, rapidly spreading across the entire battlefield.

"My Lord, we should still think this over..."

Otsutsuki Jingze couldn't help but curse: "Holy crap." Before he could even finish, Qingwu had already blanketed the entire field with his attack. "This Lord Qingwu is way too reckless."

One had to know, they only had six or seven people back then, and Lord Qingwu could resolve it quickly. Here, there were over thirty people, all of them skilled fighters, and several of them had mastered secret techniques.

"Sigh~ Since I'm already on this pirate ship, what else can I do? Charge." Otsutsuki Jingze also braced himself and charged, though he was cunning enough to pick targets already covered by the attack.

"Who goes there?!"

The enemies were caught off guard by the sudden attack and fell into a state of paralysis one after another.

"Ahhh~ I'm numb... I'm numb..."

The battlefield was in chaos; the enemies groaned in pain, most of them temporarily losing the ability to move, with only a few quick-reacting ones using chakra to form shields to protect themselves.

"Rotation~"

"Boom~"

Several large swirling air shields appeared on the battlefield, protecting those who could still resist.

"Strike while the iron is hot~" Qingwu didn't think this paralysis effect would last long; it was a matter of a second or two.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."

In an instant, dozens of Qingwus appeared on the battlefield, specifically targeting those who were paralyzed.

Teleport, knock out.

Teleport, knock out.

"Big Ball Rasengan~"

Hmph~ Rotation?! I'm familiar with this. If I try to counteract it by spinning in the opposite direction, that's just a fool wasting his own power. I'll just spin in the same direction and accelerate you—keep accelerating.

Let's see how much chakra you can output.

Besides.

I'm just waiting to see if you get dizzy.

Drain the chakra.

It's going to hurt, though.

Qingwu said with a sinister tone; he had long since tested methods to break through Rotation and had accumulated plenty of experience.

The Hyuga clan.

Rotation had long since been updated and replaced.

The Otsutsuki version was outdated.

"Big Ball Rasengan!"

The lead Otsutsuki recognized Jingze: "You bastard! Otsutsuki Jingze, you piece of trash, to think you'd bring people to ambush me—insubordination! Are you looking to die?!" He struck out in a rage.

"Divine Art. Eight Trigrams. Divine Void Strike!" A massive fist flew out, hurtling straight toward Otsutsuki Jingze. The air distorted everywhere it passed, a testament to its immense power.

Otsutsuki Jingze was stunned: "Screw your ancestors! Why are you targeting only me?!"

But his legs wouldn't listen to him; he couldn't move an inch.

He roared in his heart, It's over, it's over! I'm done for.

He screamed, "My Lord! Save me?!"

Such a familiar scene.

"..." A shadow clone of Qingwu teleported over, pulled him away, and vanished from the spot in an instant.

"Boom!" An explosion rocked the area, sending dust and smoke billowing. A crater several meters deep was left behind, venting black smoke.

On the other side.

Hiss... If that had hit him...

"Thump."

Jingze collapsed to the ground: "I survived. That bastard hits so hard, and we're supposed to be of the same clan, too."

"I almost peed myself."

Qingwu was speechless upon hearing this. Does this guy not know what shame is? I don't know if taking in this idiot was the right move.

"No way!" Not knowing what he was thinking, Otsutsuki Jingze scrambled up, muttering to himself.

It was unclear what he was saying.

Qingwu thought he had been scared out of his wits: "Hey, Jingze, you..." He prepared to offer some comfort, seeing as the man had nearly died.

What followed left him dumbfounded.

"My Lord, wait a moment, I have some business..."

Then, whether he had lost his mind from fear, or had simply bounced back from rock bottom...

"F*** you, you piece of trash!"

"&@#%*!"

In short, Otsutsuki Jingze was spewing filth.

It was simply unbearable to listen to.

"Damn it... I was wrong. You're the one who doesn't need comfort; I feel like I need comfort..."

Qingwu was also left stunned. What a blockhead.

Truly interesting.

The opponent turned red with rage and roared: "You bastard, I'll... Divine Void Strike... Divine Void Strike... Divine Void Strike..."

"Smack!"

With a single slap, the kid was put to sleep very peacefully.

"You idiot. Your techniques have power, but you talk too much and your wind-up is too long. In that amount of time, I could have killed you a dozen times over."

"Clap, clap." Brushing off his hands, Qingwu began to straighten his clothes.

The shadow clones got to work.

Sealing Technique. Five Elements Mountain Seal.

Yin-Yang Release. Chain of Precepts.

Pack it up... pack it up... pack it all up...

To be honest.

Qingwu was quite disappointed.

The combat ability of these Otsutsuki was somewhat lackluster. Their techniques were powerful, and their chakra reserves were vast.

The lead kid even exceeded twenty Kakashi-units of chakra, and his Divine Void Strike reached Kage-level destructive power, but he couldn't unleash his true potential. He couldn't hit his target. No matter how strong the technique was, it was useless.

Guys like this.

I suppose.

An elite jonin of the Ninja World could slaughter several of them with ease.

"Step, step~"

"Bastard~ get up and fight me, get up! You have no guts, all talk and no action... get up... I'm going to duel you one-on-one..."

Otsutsuki Jingze walked over to the sealed Otsutsuki genius and flaunted his power: "You little worm~ look at me..." He truly embodied the act of a fox borrowing the tiger's might.

"Mmph, mmph~" The other party struggled violently, eyes splitting with rage.

Unfortunately, it was useless.

He could not move a muscle.

He could only endure Jingze's condescending humiliation.

"Jingze~"

"Coming~ My Lord, your humble servant is here..." Hearing Qingwu's summons, he immediately changed his expression and scurried over with a fawning look.

Scoundrel, this bootlicker! How could my Otsutsuki clan produce such scum? It truly brings shame upon our ancestors...

The Otsutsuki were filled with despair.
