Chapter 39: The Hunt
Bolted!
The trees on both sides swept by in the field of vision, and the man kept jumping on the trees, speeding up desperately!
Whew!
The sweat on his forehead, running down his cheeks, dripped down the air. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The chaotic breathing and frightened expression showed that the man was being chased by a dangerous existence behind him!
A little faster! a little faster!
Every breath was as painful as fire, his chest seemed to explode, and the adverse reactions from all over his body told the man that his body was close to the limit, but the feeling of being on his back drove his heavy legs to continue to swing and keep running away, because, once he was caught up-
Whoosh!
A cold kunai shot out from behind and slashed across the man's face, staring the figure of the fugitive firmly at the ground!
"You...... You're catching up!"
The man with a cloak and a hat all over his body, and his face buried deep under the hat turned his head tremblingly, and behind him, a slender figure who was still a little childish fell to the ground gently, and his green eyes stared at the man coldly, without a trace of waves!
"Have you chosen your burial place?" I said lightly.
I've been hanging him from afar, draining his physical strength, and now, I've finally decided to stop this pointless chase.
Since I received the order to assemble yesterday, my short vacation has been in vain, and I have to devote myself to the mission of the dark department again. Speaking of which,This gathering is not a big deal.,It's just that the twice-year-old ninja exam is about to start again in July.,After the last Konoha collapse plan.,Konoha attaches more importance to the safety of the middle ninja exam.,It also causes our dark department to be all called up.,To clear the hidden dangers in the country of fire and Konoha everywhere!
And the order I received was to investigate the Nakaya Watanabe crow on this small intelligence station near the border in the Land of Fire, and there was information that showed that he seemed to have been in contact with an unknown person, and it was suspected that he had betrayed Konoha!
It's just that I didn't expect that the black crow had other intelligence channels, and he knew in advance that Konoha was going to attack him, and as soon as I arrived at the intelligence station, I found that this place was empty. Obviously, he was a thief and ran away ahead of time! I concluded from the residual warmth of his seat that he had just left, so I used the tracking technique I learned from the shadows training to follow him closely!
Hanging him from afar, forcing him to run away constantly, creating a huge psychological pressure on him, so that he can quickly exhaust his physical strength - one of the guiding principles of the Dark Division's pursuit and killing code.
It's the first time I've done such a task independently, and it's hard for me to say whether I have a good grasp of this scale. However, to be honest, with his tracking down such a ninja, wouldn't I just kill him directly, it doesn't make much sense to stay with him for so long, he can't beat me anyway!
It's just an elite ninja level! Even if I just graduated from a ninja school, I'm much better than him. What's more, since graduating from the ninja school to the present, I have fought with so many strong people, and I have learned her ninjutsu from Tsunade, reorganized my ninjutsu system, and made up for many shortcomings.
The middle-aged man in front of him, although he seems to be a little cautious, but in the face of the absolute difference in strength, all conspiracies and tricks are useless. Since he wants to play some tricks with me, then I'll reluctantly watch the show!
"I didn't expect that it was just a little sister who chased after me......" The cold sweat and nervous look on the black crow's face disappeared the moment he turned around, as if everything I saw before was just an illusion! This guy is really an actor-level character, after following him for so long, I thought he was really starting to get tired! If I hadn't taken the initiative to speed up and intercept him, I don't know how long he would have been going around with me!
No—maybe even if I didn't, he'd stop?
"You're Watanabe Crow, aren't you?" The contemptuous smile on Crow's face didn't affect my mood, and I asked formulaically, "I've been instructed to investigate your suspected illegal contact with foreign ninjas, ...... It seems that there is no need to investigate! Honestly, I have the right to shoot you on the spot if you resist!"
"Hehe, do you think I'll say yes to such a naïve question?" Sure enough, it's a chick......" The sneer on the crow's face became more obvious, "I can see it from your rigid tracking method! I'm worried that you won't be able to catch up......"
"Do you want to provoke me? Are you so impatient to die? That's right, a person like you who has been betrayed by a little profit can't think of long-term things!"
The smile on the black crow's face disappeared, and he said to me with an angry expression: "What do you know! Since the three generations returned to power, Konoha has become more and more corrupt, and more and more immersed in the illusion of peace! I was born and died for Konoha and I called on everyone everywhere to be vigilant, and the result in exchange was to be hidden in the snow and sent to spend time in this place where birds don't!"
It seems that the black crow is quite reasonable, and it seems that Konoha really treated the hero badly and deliberately suppressed him; unfortunately, because it was the first time to carry out an investigation mission, I also deliberately did my homework before I came, and called up his file, the black crow has participated in three wars, and has killed a few people on the battlefield with good trap making skills, and has made some contributions. However, Black Crow is a very radical hawk supporter, he has been advocating the idea of war openly and secretly after the war, refusing to restrain repeated warnings, and even tried to selfishly attack Yun Ren to destroy the peace, and was relegated to the frontier after defeat!
Therefore, the righteousness of the black crow is awe-inspiring, and in my eyes it is just a joke! Obviously, he made a mistake, and he still refuses to admit his mistake, but instead says that it is Konoha's problem!
"That's why you betrayed Konoha?" I sneered, "I like militarism so much, why don't you go to Tuanzang? You and him should have a common language, right! Don't you dare to go to the roots? It can be seen that you are just talking about it! It sounds so good, so reasonable, it's all nonsense, you are just a victim who refuses to admit your mistakes after standing in line and failing!"
"Tell me ...... about it, then it's up to you to see if I'm talking about it!" Crow laughed, "You should have read my profile, I'm the best at trap making......! Oh, should I praise you for your courage or despise your stupidity?"
After saying that, the black crow took out a handful of kunai, pasted a burning detonating charm and quickly threw it at me.
Boom, boom!
The detonation charms hidden in the underground and forests exploded one after another, and the explosion sound was deafening, stirring up dust all over the sky, and even the earth trembled slightly in the explosion!
Whoosh!
Countless kunai and shuriken shot out from the mechanism in the forest, covering every inch of my area, leaving no gap!
As the dust cleared, the earth seemed to have been gnawed, and there was no longer an inch of flat ground, and every part of the land was blasted out of new mud, and there were potholes and densely scattered kunai!
If it's an ordinary ninja, even if you use defensive ninjutsu, you'll be blown up by the detonation charm!
But-
"Qing Shui Escape, absolute defense!"
The pale cyan water film firmly blocked the explosion and kunai from the outside of the film, and even the noisy explosion sound was blocked by the sound insulation layer formed by the vacuum between the two layers of water film, and it could not be transmitted in! The simple explosion and kunai were completely restrained by my green water and could not cause me any harm.
As the explosion ended, all the traps had been activated, and I removed the water shield, and the dust gradually cleared.
"Hahaha!" the crow laughed triumphantly, "what a stupid shadow!
The crow's arrogant laughter came to an abrupt halt the moment he saw me appear. He raised his finger and pointed at me dumbfounded, with an expression of disbelief!
"How, how is it possible! Unscathed by my trap bombardment!
The black crow finally reacted, and after the sharpest means did not work for me, I stood in front of him, an opponent that he could only look up to, an opponent he could not match, and could only escape from afar! Cold sweat once again broke out of his forehead, this time, it was no longer a disguise to lure the enemy, but a cold sweat left by real fear!
"Don't-don't be complacent! Do you think I've only arranged a trap to entertain you? I've got another trick! as long as I-"
I'm not interested in listening to him any longer, I've spent a lot of time on him, I'm tired of his tricks! I've given him a chance, and since he doesn't appreciate it, let it be over!
"Water Escape, Wind Cutting Water Blade!"
"Earth Escape, Earth Flow Wall!"
The towering earthen wall and the cyan waterline appeared at the same time! However, the heavy earthen wall could not block the impact of the waterline, and the black crow hiding behind the earthen wall had its heart pierced by the waterline!
Blood spat out of the crow's mouth and spilled on the earthen wall, and the clothes on the crow's chest were completely soaked and dyed red with blood!
"This ...... What kind of ninjutsu is it? Actually...... Even the most restrained earth flow wall ......" The black crow's eyes widened, his eyes gradually drifted, and he fell to the ground without even finishing the last sentence. I'm afraid that he will die, and I can't understand why Shui Dun, who doesn't seem to be very powerful, can penetrate the earthen wall so easily and kill him!
I took out the quest scroll and opened it, and a character card fell out of the scroll. It reads—
"Watanabe Black Crow (27 years old): Elite ninja, attributes are thunder and earth, good at all kinds of ninja equipment, trap making, assassination and body arts.
……
…… Once it is confirmed that the defection of Konoha is confirmed, it is recommended to be killed on the spot!"
It's a pity, I thought at first it would be just to bring him back to Konoha ......!
"If you don't die, you won't die. "Cutting off the black crow's head and sealing it into the scroll, I sneered and muttered to the black crow who would no longer answer, "Originally, if you surrender obediently, maybe there is still a chance of life!"
The chakra reaction around is getting closer and closer, and I'm afraid they rushed over as soon as they heard the explosion!
"If you can't recognize the strength of yourself and your opponent, and if you blindly provoke it, you will take your own life!
Three ninjas appeared in front of me! There were deep scar marks on their foreheads, indicating that they were all traitors. It's a pity that he didn't make it until the reinforcements arrived, and I killed him instantly!
"The crow was actually killed by you...... Although this guy is arrogant, the trap making is a must!" The ninja led by the leader was bandaged all over his body, glanced at the black crow in a different place and said, "Obviously the trap has been triggered, and the black crow was still killed by you, it's not easy!"
"Boss, I seem to recognize her ......! If I'm not mistaken," the short black man standing in front laughed lewdly, "Her name is Haruno Sakura, she is Konoha's middle ninja, the black market has her bounty order, someone buys her head for 5 million! It's better to ...... us! hehe!"
"Hmph, haha!" the ninja with bandages all over his body laughed darkly, "It seems that not only did I not run in vain today, but I also gained a lot!"
The naked killing intent of the three traitors made me frown, it seems that the black crow will not be lonely, because ...... I'm going to send these three stupid guys on their way to accompany him!
Suddenly, I was slightly shocked when I heard that I had also been rewarded by the black market, and then a wave of anger couldn't help but come to my heart! There are not many people who have a grudge against me and can afford to pay for it, either it is the revenge of the Kaduoyu party, or the good deeds done by the die-hard elements of the Snow Country, and there is also a possibility, that is, Xiao has given me a reward order! However, the black market in the Land of Fire actually dares to openly release the reward order for the Konoha ninjas! No matter what other Konoha ninjas think, anyway, such a bold bounty guild, I see one family and destroy the other!
Killing intent is building up in my heart!
"Ninjutsu? Thunder Glimpse!"
This is an auxiliary ninjutsu developed from Tsunade's chaotic body rush, but on the contrary, chaotic body rush targets the enemy's nervous system, and this ninjutsu targets my own nervous system!
We all know that the signals that the human body can accept and direct the movement of the limbs depend on the conduction of nerve signals between nerve cells. More essentially, it is an electrical signal that relies on the flow of local current in nerve fibers! The conduction speed of this signal is generally between 10 and 120 meters per second, and the so-called reaction time, in addition to the time required to make a judgment in the brain, is mainly the time taken by the signal sent by the brain to the spinal cord and then to the muscles in the hands and feet, which is generally about 0.1 seconds at the earliest. This time cannot be shortened by exercise, and the general way to improve reaction speed is just to form a conditioned reflex through a lot of training, so as to shorten the time it takes for the brain to make judgments!
Although it is not possible to increase the speed of nerve impulse conduction through exercise, it can be forcibly increased through medical ninjutsu! The easiest way is to stimulate nerve fibers with medical ninjutsu to make them thicker, and the thicker the diameter of the nerve fibers, the faster the conduction speed! However, because of the fragile nervous system involved, such stimulation can only be carried out little by little, otherwise, if you are not careful, it will cause damage, although it can stimulate nerve cells to grow new synapses and reconnect, but all the previous efforts are in vain!
Although this method is once and for all, the effect is relatively slow, and there is a limit to growth, so based on the chaotic body rush, I have developed another more radical auxiliary ninjutsu - Thunder Light Glimpse! Convert chakra into electrons and fill the nerve fibers in the body, and use them to replace sodium ions and potassium ions to conduct electrical signals in the nerve fibers, thus greatly increasing the conduction speed of electrical signals! The specific technical details, of course, can not be explained clearly in a few words, and there are many problems faced by exploring this ninjutsu! However, compared with the difficulty of developing Qingshui Dun back then, the problems encountered in this ninjutsu are almost all technical problems, and even problems that can be solved after skillful use.
Right now, I've only accelerated the main nerve fibers in this ninjutsu - no matter how much I do, I can't do it with my chakra control ability, after all, it's such a subtle operation with chakra, and this ninjutsu is a big burden even for me!
Still, I clearly felt what a great improvement this was! Every movement could change in an instant with just one thought -- it seemed that in an instant, I had reached the realm of "seeing to hand"! A mysterious feeling came to my heart!
"You ...... Are you ready?"
Looking at the three traitors opposite, I said confidently!
The soles of my feet were exerted, and the strange force technique exploded, and the floor was trampled out of two deep pits! The short distance between us was more than ten meters fleeting, relying on the powerful explosive power of the strange force technique, I instantly rushed to the front of the black-clothed lewd man standing at the front, even if it was such a high-speed battle, I still made the right response - my left hand blocked the kunai he subconsciously stretched out, and the kunai of my right hand inserted into his heart! This short and thin ninja didn't have time to say a last word, and fell into the cycle of life with deep regret and fear!
Bang!
I couldn't restrain my pace when I over-accelerated in pursuit of one-hit killing, and knocked the body of the man in black into the air, and I fell to the ground slightly embarrassed, rolling more than ten meters away!
"This is, the first ......!" I smirked despite my devastated fall!
[The idea of Thunder Light Glimpse was actually thought of a long time ago, but it was for the Thunder Ninja. Although Sakura doesn't know much about Lei Dun, this ninjutsu is actually not a Lei Dun!]
