Chapter 38: The Sea of Trees (Part II)
Monzaemon shook off the chakra line that was controlled on his stand-in puppet, and since he had to show up, the stand-in was useless, and then he opened his hands and finally began to directly control the ten people of Konmatsu.
The puppets, whose movements were originally a little sluggish and stiff, instantly became extremely agile after being directly dominated by Monzaemon, and Hanyu and the others, who were stared at by ten pairs of empty eyes, suddenly felt creepy.
"Retreat, I'll cut it off." Hanyu took a deep breath, and after realizing that the other party was not an enemy he could deal with, he chose to retreat. Although he was a little reluctant to let his first mission end in failure, it was a last resort, and there was nothing to say from the command of such a retreat...... After all, Konoha can't ask the village's shinobi to deal with a ninja like Monzaemon.
Moreover, Hanyu's team is tasked with stopping the enemy and transmitting information, and their mission cannot be called a failure in the strict sense of the word...... After all, they found the Monzaemon Gate.
"Hanyu, I don't think it's pointed, you can't stop him for long." Nagisa Nara said that although Hanyu's order was in line with his responsibilities as a captain, it didn't make sense, how could the other party easily let them escape?
"Retreat!" Hanyu repeated his order firmly, and just as he was putting his hands together to begin the seal, the Ten Konmatsu were already speeding towards him at an even faster speed.
But no matter how fast these toys were, Hanyu's first technique was still completed first...... At this extremely urgent moment, Hanyu is forced to continuously increase his sealing speed, and once Hanyu's first technique is completed, the rest of the spells will follow one after another without interruption.
Water Escape: Water Array Wall!
First, the semi-circular wall of water quickly swung away the golem that was rushing towards Hanyu, and when the objects were about to circle from both sides, the wall of the water array collapsed instantly, and then it swept towards it with an even larger force of water.
"Old fellow, do you think you're standing in a safe place?"
Thinking so, Hanyu's movements did not stop.
Water escape, burst water waves!
In an instant, an ocean appeared in the woods, and Hanyu's spell this time was far larger than at the beginning, and at this time he had no way to think about keeping the chakra, so it was an exaggeration to say that his technique reversed the process of "vicissitudes of life".
But Hanyu's seal didn't stop until the next spell was completed, the Water Escape Fog Hidden Technique.
Before the surging water had subsided, a thick mist had risen from the water, and within a few moments, it had completely hidden the figures of Hanyu and his team.
The Fog Hidden Technique is a very representative water escape ninjutsu of the five major ninja villages, but in fact, it is not the kind of ninjutsu that has much difficulty or secrecy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an ordinary water escape...... What is really difficult is the silent killing technique used in conjunction with the Fog Concealment Technique, and only by combining the two can the mutual value be fulfilled.
Hanyu obviously didn't know much about silent killing, and the Fog Concealment technique was enough for him.
His eyes weren't always able to accurately catch the puppeteer's movements and all of his puppets, but with the Fog Concealment, things were different. First of all, this kind of ninjutsu that obscures your vision can greatly improve your teammates' escape chances; Secondly, the fog was now filled with a large number of Hanyu's chakras, and these chakras had expanded his perception, in this case, he was at least able to accurately grasp the position and movement of the Monzaemon and the ten puppets.
"Yes, it turns out that the so-called Fire Ninja is just a distraction for me, compared to Fire Escape, it's obvious that you're better at Water Escape, and it's commendable that you can make the decision you make in this situation, however...... What's the use? The sound of the gate was heard from the thick fog.
The Fog Concealment Technique definitely had an effect, otherwise how could the other party be talking such nonsense here, but what made Hanyu a little anxious was that he could clearly feel that his team members did not directly leave the battlefield at this time, but stayed in the fog and did not move.
But now Hanyu can't take care of them, and the most dangerous person at this time is undoubtedly himself, and there is no doubt that he is the first target of the other party.
Hanyu's steady breathing was a highly tense spirit, and at this time he had completely mobilized his five senses, and suddenly, he flew up and kicked into the mist on the side of his body, and then a pitch-black figure flew out upside down.
He could sense the puppet's movements, and there was no way to hide the unique sounds of the puppets when they moved.
Hanyu didn't have time to bother with the golem being kicked out, he quickly turned, and then raised his arm, and with the sound of a bell, a pair of sharp, barbed claws slashed right into his armguard.
The trick of distracting the enemy with words was used not only by Hanyu but also by Monzaemon, but neither side had much success.
Those puppets dressed in white look very chic from a distance, but when you look closely, they are very ugly, so ugly that Hanyu has to complain: "Since you are the best puppeteer, at least you have to make your toys like mercury lamps, so that I can at least have a sadistic heart that trembles when I do this kind of thing." ”
As he spoke, he twisted his forearm, and immediately used his arm guard to break the puppet's claws, and then pressed his palm on the puppet's shoulder, and his body lifted up with force, and then flew up and hit the puppet's neck with a knee.
With a click, the puppet's head twisted behind him.
However, Hanyu's target was a puppet, not a human, so the attack would have no effect other than make his knees hurt.
I saw that the puppet's body was raised violently, and its head was reset again.
Sharp-bladed crossbows, fire poison, and mechanisms emerged from every joint and part of the puppet's body, and then it rushed up with a more vigorous speed than before.
With Hanyu's size and speed, he simply couldn't resist.
Thankfully, he didn't have to resist at all. I saw that the chakra attached to the soles of his feet withdrew, and then his whole body sank under the water...... The last time he used the blast water rush, he was trying to drown the enemy, and this time he was trying to drown himself.
The golem's movements were unimaginably fast, and it was not impossible for the golem to follow Hanyu into the water, but he never believed that the golem could maintain the same speed as it did on the ground in the deep and stressful water.
What's more, after entering the deep water, Hanyu's speed has increased extremely high, and with the blessing of the Water Escape Wave Ride, he is like a swimming fish.
One eliminates the other, and Mozaemon can't actually do anything to him.
Or maybe Monzaemon could have steamed the whole body of water, but did he do that...... No, should he be asked if he has time for such a thing?
After the struggle and delay of Hanyu's several people, Konoha's reinforcements finally arrived. They weren't fast, but they were in time.
