Chapter 72: Covering the Sky
Uchiha Hanabi looked at the brat who lowered his head and rushed towards him and said with disdain.
"Will you sacrifice yourself voluntarily for your teammates?"
"You can't even look me in the face, kid! What makes you think you can hold me back by yourself?"
However, Uchiha Hanabi didn't expect that he was just simply mocking the other party.
The little devil actually pulled out the short sword from his back and glared at him.
"Don't underestimate us Blood Mist Ninjas!"
Uchiha Hanabi was overjoyed when he saw this. His dark pupils immediately turned scarlet, and three rapidly spinning tomoe appeared.
"Demonic Illusions: Shackle Stakes Jutsu"
The little devil who was still running on the opposite side suddenly stiffened and fell straight to the ground.
"Ha~haha~everyone will be defeated by these eyes!"
Uchiha Hanabi laughed and formed seals with his hands, preparing to use Fire Style Jutsu to kill the stupid kid.
However, it seemed that the opponent's summoned beast quickly rushed out from the right side and threw several water balls continuously to interfere with them. (Water Pulse)
Uchiha Hanabi calmly turned sideways and released the fire style jutsu he had just completed to intercept the attacks.
Before he could continue to mock, a white light flashed in his peripheral vision.
Uchiha Hanabi stretched out his hand with difficulty to touch the white light that pierced his chest, but blood flowed out of his mouth uncontrollably.
He turned around in disbelief and looked at the little kid who should have been trapped in the illusion and had lost the ability to resist.
"How is that possible? The Sharingan is... invincible!"
Kaito ignored the other party's shocked expression and swung his Shinsō casually. The extended white wind blade tore through Uchiha Hanabi' body without any hesitation.
[Ding! You have defeated a Jōnin for the first time and have unlocked the achievement "1500 points, isn't it enough to have hands?"]
As usual, Kaito ignored the system's inexplicable achievement prompts.
Looking at the white blade light that quickly dissipated into a point of light in front of him, and the body of Uchiha Hanabi that fell powerlessly, Kaito smiled and brushed off the dust on his body, and stood up from the ground.
"The Uchiha clan guys are really easy to understand."
Given Kaito's fearful character, he would naturally not rush towards his opponent without any preparation, and it was even more impossible for him to impulsively reveal his flaws after a few provocations from the opponent.
It was just that Kaito had already cast the 'Safeguard' to grant himself immunity to illusions before the battle began.
He originally wanted to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the opponent to gain an advantage, but who would have thought that this guy was so confident in his Sharingan illusion that he was not at all prepared for the fallen Kaito.
This gave Kaito the opportunity to adjust the angle of Shinsō and directly shoot the Jōnin.
Zabuza and Mei quickly rushed to Kaito's side.
Both of them had several wounds on their bodies, obviously choosing to pay a certain price to finish off their opponents as quickly as possible in order to support Kaito earlier.
"It has been resolved. The other party was a little careless."
Kaito said this with a smile, and then he used Aqua Ring to heal the wounds of the two people.
Both of them looked at their medical ninja teammate with complicated expressions.
It was Mei who spoke first.
"Should we still go to support Ao-sensei and the others?"
I don't know when it started, but when Ao is not around, the three-person team will be led by Kaito.
Kaito thought about it. There are still five senior ninjas in Konoha, even if all of them are still alive.
'With the strength of Kushimaru and Yako elite Jōnin, plus Ao-sensei, we should be able to fight the opponent on equal terms in the mist.'
'I just don't know whether Yakushi Nono will come back to support these Konohagakure ninjas.'
'If the three of us go to support, maybe we can really be of some help. Besides, the camp has received the information I sent back and should be able to provide support soon.'
Thinking of this, Kaito decided to take the risk and go over to take a look.
Before Kaito could make a decision, 'Anticipation' issued another reminder.
But this time it seems that this reminder is a bit redundant.
A huge shadow covered the sky, and the three of them couldn't help but look up.
However, the shadow was so huge that only the outline of a human figure could be vaguely seen, and this outline continued to grow as it rose.
There was no need for the three of them to continue guessing anything, as a somewhat distorted roar was heard from the air.
"Super Expansion Jutsu"
Looking at the figure that blocked out the sky, a distracting thought flashed through Kaito's mind.
"Who died here? What made the Akimichi clan so crazy that they even ignored their teammates?"
However, Kaito immediately realized that now was not the time to think about these things, and he made a seal and shouted.
The two teammates also quickly recovered from their shock and formed seals quickly.
"Earth Style: Tunnelling Jutsu"
Mei placed her hands on the ground, and the earth immediately collapsed downwards to form a space of four or five meters square.
Zabuza and Blue also used the "Water Wave" and "Water Gun" respectively to create a pool of water in the square space.
At the same time, Kaito, who had completed the seal, slapped the water surface with both hands. A large amount of accumulated water turned into a stream that entangled the three people and frog, and quickly closed into three giant water balls next to each other, wrapping up the three people and the frog.
In the end, it was too late for Mei to continue using the Water Formation Wall to strengthen the defense.
The three of them just watched in horror as the Akimichi clan's Jōnin used his Super Expansion Jutsu to smash his giant body into the ground without hesitation.
The four walls of this underground space were cracked by the huge force, and the collapsed and flying stones kept hitting the water prison in the middle that was protecting the three people and the frog.
If you raise your sight, you can see a giant like a mountain lying on its back on the beach.
The huge air wave generated by the landing instantly stirred up a large amount of smoke, dust and debris, and the sea water and trees on the shore were blown away by this strong air wave.
Not to mention the Hidden Mist Jutsu that Kaito and the other four had jointly unleashed, which disappeared in an instant.
Fortunately, this attack came and went quickly. It is estimated that this Jōnin of the Akimichi clan did not even know that Kaito and the other two were also affected.
Only after seeing the black shadow covering the pit above his head disappear did Kaito lift the Water Prison Jutsu. At this time, most of the square space had collapsed and shattered.
Kaito patted his chest with lingering fear and almost burst into cursing.
"If a few more Jōnin from the Akimichi clan come, they can directly launch an attack to destroy the country! With the size of this Super Expansion jutsu, no matter how many regular ninjas come, they won't be enough to defeat it, right? "
After spitting out the muddy water in his mouth, Kaito looked around. Zabuza and the others were lucky and did not suffer any splash damage.
However, now that the mist has completely dissipated, the three of them did not dare to come out directly from underground, for fear of being unlucky enough to be hit by the Konoha ninja.
Zabuza consciously formed hand seals and performed perception ninjutsu to gather intelligence.
"There are still four people alive, but we can only confirm that one of them is Ao-sensei."
Kaito and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and couldn't help but think.
"Ao-sensei is really lucky!"
