The battle-hardened instinct of Kusagakure Jonin sounded the sharpest alarm in the lightning flash.
Overlapping afterimages!
That is not some advanced hidden weapon technique, but the perfect overlap of the two Shuriken on the physical level! The upper one rotates slightly faster and uses the persistence of vision effect to almost completely obscure the lower one!
What an insidious little devil!
He cursed in his heart, but did not dare to show any signs of neglect at his feet. His body was twisted to the side at an extreme angle, and the large Shuriken as a cover almost whizzed past the tip of his nose, and the strong wind it brought hurt his cheeks.
However, the danger has not been eliminated.
Just before he could stand still, his mind relaxed for a ten thousandth of a second because he had escaped a disaster.
"Pfft!"
There was a slight muffled sound, like a balloon bursting.
The Fūma Shuriken that was blocked below suddenly exploded into a cloud of white mist in mid-air, and a thin figure flashed out of it!
It's the mission target, that Senju Clan kid!
The figure of Senju Chen solidified in the white mist. The position and timing of his appearance were all calculated to the extreme. It happened to be the embarrassing node where Jonin's old strength was exhausted and new strength was not yet born.
The Kunai he held tightly in his hand was not fancy at all. It followed the simplest and most deadly straight line and pierced the opponent's heart!
This series of changes is suffocatingly fast, from the separation of Shuriken to the approaching killing move, it only takes the blink of an eye.
"Asshole!"
Kusagakure Jonin's pupils shrank sharply, and his survival instinct overwhelmed everything else. He could no longer make complete dodge movements, and could only lean back violently while roaring, while forcibly twisting his waist and abdomen!
"Chi--"
Kunai's sharp edge tore through the clothes on his chest, leaving a long bloody mouth just inches away from his heart.
Averted!
Kusagakure Jonin's heart was beating wildly, and the joy of surviving the disaster was instantly replaced by boundless anger. It was a great shame for him to be forced into such an embarrassing situation by two young brats using such playful means!
The mission said to catch alive, but it didn't say that they had to be intact and alive!
Anger coursed through his limbs and bones. He leaned back and used the force to exert force. When Senju Chen missed his blow and rushed forward, he came close in an extremely fierce moment!
His right elbow was like a heavy hammer full of power, with a muffled sound that tore the air, and hit Senju Chen's soft belly firmly!
"Bang!"
A heavy impact sounded.
Senju Chen felt as if his abdomen had been hit hard by an angry bull, and his internal organs were all out of place. The severe pain made his vision go dark, and the air he had just breathed into his lungs was squeezed out instantly, and a fishy sweetness filled his throat.
His small body, like a puppet with its strings cut off, was thrown diagonally upward by this huge force.
"A brat is a brat, so what if you're a genius!" Kusagakure Jonin's eyes flashed with a trace of ferocious joy, "In the face of absolute power and experience, all your fancy tricks are worthless!"
He took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the opportunity when Senju Chen was knocked into the air and unable to use his strength. He stepped out with one step and reached out with his big hand like an eagle's claws. He accurately grabbed Senju Chen's neck and lifted him up in the air!
"Uh..."
A feeling of suffocation came, Senju Chen's limbs struggled feebly, his face turned red due to lack of oxygen, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
After capturing Senju Chen, Kusagakure Jonin felt a little depressed. He ignored the "prey" struggling in vain in his hands. Instead, he turned around suddenly and looked at the rich steam generated by the confrontation between Water Release and Fire Release in the distance. He let out a winner's roar in the direction of Maruboshi Kosuke:
"Old guy! Look who this is!"
"If you don't want this kid to die, put down your weapon immediately, come over and capture him! Otherwise, I will break his neck in the next second!"
His roar was full of threats and arrogance.
In the steam, the figure of Maruboshi Kosuke staggered out. When he saw Senju Chen being held high by the enemy and pinched by the neck like a chicken, his sharp eagle eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot eyes.
"Little Chen!"
A shrill roar came from the mouth of this battle-experienced old man. All calmness and experience were completely shattered at this moment. There was only one thought left in his mind - save that child!
Maruboshi Kosuke rushed towards this side desperately and like crazy.
Seeing this scene, Kusagakure Jonin showed a cruel smile. The plan was successful. As long as this most difficult old guy gets confused, everything will be over.
However, he did not notice that in the Senju Chen he was holding in his hand, a strange smile flashed in the eyes that were half-closed due to suffocation.
That smile was cold and mocking, as if he was looking at a fool who was about to fall into a trap without realizing it.
Just at this moment.
The first one that flew out had already passed Kusagakure Jonin, and landed on the ground not far behind him. With a "pop" without any warning, the large Fūma Shuriken turned into a cloud of white mist.
A figure that was exactly the same as the captured Senju Chen appeared quietly behind Kusagakure Jonin.
There was no expression on the face of this "Senju Chen". With his hands in front of him, he completed Hand Seals in an instant!
His target is not Kusagakure Jonin, but the "self" he is holding in his hand!
"Wood Release·Kakuan Entering Society with Bliss-Bringing Hands!"
A cold voice, like Death God's whisper, sounded behind Kusagakure Jonin's ears.
What?!
Kusagakure Jonin The hairs all over his body stood on end instantly! He lowered his head in horror, and suddenly discovered that the body of the kid who was still "dying to struggle" in his hand had undergone extremely terrifying changes!
Countless tough wooden vines, like ferocious poisonous snakes, burst out crazily from that small body! They followed Kusagakure Jonin's neck-stretching arm and wrapped around his body like lightning in an irresistible manner!
"This... this is...?!"
Kusagakure Jonin's mind went blank.
He finally understood.
The two Shuriken... are both fake!
From beginning to end, it was a game! A decisive game in which Wood Clone was used to manipulate him into the palm of his hand!
He thought he had seen through the first layer of disguise, and smugly stepped into the second layer of the trap. Little did he know that the other party had been standing in the atmosphere from the beginning, looking down at him like a clown, and walking step by step into the cage tailor-made for him!
"You..."
He only had time to utter a horrified syllable, and those vines had already tied him from head to toe into an airtight wooden cocoon. The huge force made all the bones in his body make an overwhelmed "gurgle" sound. The Chakra in his body was absorbed crazily, and he could not even raise a trace of resistance.
"Little Chen!"
The figure of Maruboshi Kosuke finally rushed forward, and what he saw was this strange scene that he would never forget.
Senju Chen, who was taken as a hostage a second ago, turned into a cage of activated thorns, imprisoning the arrogant Kusagakure Jonin.
The veteran's heart felt an unprecedented impact at this moment, a roller coaster ride from hell to heaven.
But after all, he was experienced and did not hesitate at all.
"Well done, Little Chen!"
Maruboshi Kosuke's old voice contained a hint of trembling approval. He sprinted without stopping, and the short knife in his hand drew a decisive cold light, cleanly wiping the neck of the ninja who was Wood Release wrapped into a "zongzi".
Blood spurted out and was quickly absorbed by the vines.
Kusagakure Jonin's wide-open eyes were filled with extreme fear and confusion forever.
After doing all this, Maruboshi Kosuke didn't even have time to breathe. He turned around suddenly and cast his vigilant eyes towards the other end of the battlefield.
There, the water vapor gradually dissipated, and the figure of the last Kusagakure Jonin emerged from the remains of the flames extinguished by Water Formation Wall.
When he saw his companions who were killed in an instant, his face was filled with horror and disbelief.
The situation, at this moment, was completely reversed.
