Wind Armor!
A while later, Taichi and the others arrived near the new camp of Sunagakure and secretly observed the situation.
If we can find the puppeteer's true form now, things will be much easier later.
Unfortunately for them, the other side was no novice either. Although this was their camp, it was still in the wild, and they were just as vigilant as they should be.
Therefore, Taichi and the others didn't see any important clues, and they were also worried about Shiro, so Nakamura didn't hesitate and immediately started Hand Seals!
"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Nakamura didn't know, nor did they want to know, whether Sunagakure had any traps or warnings around the camp. They were in a hurry and couldn't afford to observe and decipher them slowly.
Therefore, Nakamura directly used a Earth Dragon Bullet, triggering all the alerts and traps, and separating the enemy's Jonin and Chunin.
Then, Nakamura led the Jonin away from there to another battlefield!
Who are you?
"Ping!"
The two kunai clashed repeatedly, with Shuriken occasionally flying out. The other man kept attacking Nakamura while also asking him questions.
They were trying to gather some intelligence, because each village had a different fighting style, and knowing their identities would give them a slight advantage.
"You don't need to know!" After saying that, Nakamura delivered a back kick, sending him flying.
"Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique!"
Instead of releasing it as a wind blade, Nakamura attached it to Shuriken and threw it, which allowed him to slightly control its trajectory.
It can even perform spinning attacks, offering a wide range of variations.
However, the opponent was no pushover either; after all, he was Jonin, and he immediately devised his own countermeasure.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
That's right, he used Great Breakthrough, a C-rank Ninjutsu. However, he wasn't foolish enough to try and block Nakamura's Ninjutsu. They were both Jonin, so the difference in skill level wasn't that great, Ninjutsu couldn't possibly have a suppressive effect.
Therefore, he used his Wind Release on the ground, and instantly flew into the sky, not only dodging the Wind Cutter Technique but also buying himself time to Hand Seals.
As he fell, his fingers twitched incessantly, clearly preparing an advanced Ninjutsu!
Seeing this, Nakamura didn't stand idly by either. Although he couldn't hit the Anbu right now, based on Nakamura's many years of experience, the opponent was using a close-combat Ninjutsu.
Based on the known information about Sunagakure, Nakamura speculated that it should be Sunagakure's A-rank Ninjutsu, Wind Blade.
Once he knew what kind of Ninjutsu it was, it would be much easier to deal with. Nakamura's mind raced, and his hands quickly Hand Seals.
"Earth Release ·Yellow Spring Marsh!"
Nakamura clapped his hands together and used Ninjutsu near the point where the opponent landed, turning it into a yellow swamp.
Meanwhile, before the opponent could land, he continued to Hand Seals. However, this Ninjutsu was more complex, as it was his own Ninjutsu and not yet fully mastered, with many hand seals. But with the obstruction of the Swamp of the Underworld, there was still plenty of time.
As the opponent was about to land, he swung the sword formed by his Wind Release, shattering the mud that splashed towards him, and strode towards Nakamura.
At this moment, he could tell that Nakamura was preparing a powerful move. Although he couldn't tell what kind of Ninjutsu Nakamura was going to use, he could tell from the complex hand seals that the level of this technique was not low.
However, he didn't have any good solutions. The Yellow Springs Swamp was too troublesome, and he was still being held back.
Just as he was about to leave the Swamp of the Dead and arrive at Nakamura's place, Nakamura finished his hand seals.
"Wind Release: Wind Armor!"
Suddenly, gusts of wind began to surround Nakamura. Gradually, these swift winds compressed, ending with Nakamura's final seal.
They slowly wrapped around Nakamura, forming a powerful protective armor.
Wind Armor was Ninjutsu Nakamura had been conceiving for a long time. In his mind, it should be a Ninjutsu that combines offense and defense, and the raging wind on his body could be gathered and dispersed at his will.
However, this is too difficult. Gathering is the limit right now. Once it disperses, it cannot be gathered again and can only be used again. Moreover, the attack power of the dispersed gale is not strong.
Therefore, this Ninjutsu has only reached one of Nakamura's current standards, and it is expected to remain so in the future. He feels that the ideal Wind Armor requires stronger Chakra control, which is a higher level of skill.
He may never have any hope in this lifetime, but he is still content, at least he achieved his initial goal.
Nakamura's idea for Wind Release: Gale Launch Armor originated from a battle in which one of his teammates was stabbed in the heart by Shuriken that flew from nowhere and died instantly.
After that, he discovered that although ninjas had powerful offensive capabilities, they lacked defensive capabilities, and that modern ninjas were no longer the assassins they used to be.
They now frequently have missions involving direct combat, so defensive capabilities are particularly important. That's when he began developing this Ninjutsu.
Later, other ideas gradually emerged, and I wanted to make it more perfect, but in the end, I only achieved the initial goal.
But that's enough. The Wind Armor has extremely strong defensive capabilities, and the whirlwind that flows around its body at all times can easily deflect both physical and Ninjutsu attacks.
According to Nakamura's tests, it can withstand one S-rank Ninjutsu attack!
This was remarkable, so Nakamura stopped his research in other areas and focused on strengthening this aspect, while reducing the complexity of the printing process, believing that more is not as good as more refined.
If you can maximize one aspect, you may have fewer tactical options, but the results will be much better.
Nakamura ignored the Wind Blade slashing at him and subtly formed Hand Seals.
"How is this possible!?" The Suna Ninja exclaimed in shock as the Wind Blade sliced Nakamura's body.
He was actually aiming at Nakamura's head. He's not stupid; it was clearly a defensive Ninjutsu, and he wasn't going to force his way in.
However, just as his Wind Blade approached Nakamura, some air currents seemed to directly alter his attack trajectory, slashing straight at the Wind Armor torso!
This is also the essence of the Wind Armor; it creates a ring of airflow around Nakamura, and any attack trajectory that enters this ring will be altered.
This avoids the accidental being hit by a stray arrow. Of course, the trade-off is that his Shuriken throwing becomes more difficult; this effect is two-way.
Therefore, Nakamura dared to let the opponent attack him while he secretly prepared his Ninjutsu!
The instant the Wind Blade was blocked, Nakamura thrust his right hand, wrapped in Wind Release Chakra, forward!
"Wind Release: Beast Wave Palm!"
With a powerful palm strike to the Suna Ninja's abdomen, which was pierced by Nakamura's attack since the Sand Ninja lacked Wind Armor.
Meanwhile, after Taichi and his Nakamura left Jonin, they began fighting the Suna Ninja.
