Chapter 13: Darkness Chen Cang: Tragic Illusion
[The third generation of Kazekage, are you underestimating me? Konoha White Fang, who coordinates the overall situation, frowned. [Is the team led by only more than 30 Shangnin trying to defeat me? Or are you planning some kind of conspiracy......]
"Your Excellency White Fang! The brigade led by Shinichi Shimura has been wiped out! The Yamanaka clan who was in charge of delivering the news had a painful face, and it was obvious that the broken mental connection was quite uncomfortable: "The leader of the enemy is a ninja dressed as a samurai, with a long knife of nearly two meters...... Wait, that guy didn't have a forehead guard! It's a wandering ninja hired by Sand Ninja! β
γβ¦β¦ Is that Eito Ito, who is of unknown origin like the sky? A cold light flashed in Qimu Shuomao's eyes: "Send the squadron led by the firmament to intercept!" β
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
[Yesterday was really a bit of a top...... What are you doing talking to them about this, arguing with a guy who obviously hasn't graduated from secondary school yet, and it's humiliating to win. Walking in the cold air of the early morning, Mo Wen quietly reflected on his words yesterday, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. [Can't I still be as indifferent as Master? Also, it's not for me at all......]
[That's it, don't think about it so much, the road has to come out by yourself after all.] The monk stopped and looked around at the quiet stronghold. [The plan now is to distance yourself from this group of guys...... The spiritual pollution of this group of strange people is simply terrible, if I stay with them for a long time, I will be affected by their secondary two infection! γ
"Master, you woke up half an hour later than usual." The crisp child's voice came from behind him, and Mo Wen looked back, and the little face of the black god with red eyes had already come to him.
"Ahaha...... Drink a little too much. Mo Wen, who was a bit of a clown in front of his disciples, scratched his head a little embarrassed, and then immediately looked left and right and changed the topic:
"By the way, what about Yoshiaki Midori? Why didn't you see it? β
Yoshiaki Midorino, one of the two shinobi left behind to guard this stronghold.
"Ten minutes ago, I received a piece of information and left in a hurry...... It is the direction of Kawanokuni. The black god Mutaki guessed: "Could it be that the sand ninjas are attacking too fiercely, and the front line is in urgent need of manpower." β
"It doesn't matter to us whether they live or die...... It should be said that these troublesome guys are just right. Mo Wen stretched his body: "I'm also very tired from carrying them all day...... What about Lias? Called out to practice the battle. β
"Sister Liya is still sleeping, and Sister Mengxiang is cooking."
"Oh? Meng Xiang She secretly cooked? Mo asked, with a strange expression.
ββ¦β¦ Sister Meng Xiang is also very unwilling. The black god stuck out his tongue mischievously - the little vampire had never cooked very well, not as terrifying as the dark dishes that were said to kill and hallucinate, but they were also chewy wax and hard to swallow...... She is the worst cook.
Well, and then there's Miss Lias.
ββ¦β¦ Then let's not bother Moexiang. Mo Wen shook his head helplessly, he didn't want to come up and taste that strange taste of the dish: "Metaki, tell me about your recent research on formations...... Although I haven't put my energy here, I have some accumulation and it should be helpful. β
"Hmm!"
β¦β¦
"How did you end up here?!" Konoha Shinobu Yoshiaki clutched his left arm, but blood continued to seep from his fingers. "Have the defenses been breached?"
"The elite squad led by the two teams of Shangnin...... It's not like they found us. The leader of the sand ninja smiled slightly: "It seems to be an unexpected gain." β
[In this situation, it is impossible to get out of the situation. Midori Yoshiaki looked at the enemies around him, thinking quickly. [The only thing I can hope for now is ......]
"Let's fix it...... We are not targeting them. The man standing behind the sand shinobi spoke, "Or do you need our help?" β
"It's just two injured shinobi." Shinobu pulled out kunai, "We'll be able to do it soon!" β
"Looks like it's finally the two of us this time." Uehara Reiraku's gaze swept over his subordinates who were lying on the ground, his eyes sad - the sand shinobi's assault was quite fierce, and when he was caught off guard, both Kamishinobi were injured a little, and all of their subordinates were killed on the spot.
"Compared to those old guys, the two of us are earning." Midori Yoshiaki glanced at his companion and understood what the other party was thinking, and nodded silently. "Let's try to drag a few guys on their backs."
"Two against twenty-eight, and you still want to bite back?" Sanobu sneered and rushed up.
β¦β¦
The sword light is like snow, and the sword shadow is like a dragon.
"It's so powerful to break an arm...... Ito Ying looked down at the long sword mark on his chest: "Firmament...... You're the strongest Shina I've ever met. β
"I hate that title......" The sky stood with his sword in hand, his half-empty sleeve swaying slightlyβthe fight just now was not completely fruitless. The small country of Fanbang, which has been worshipping our country for a hundred years, is so presumptuous...... You Japanese are really white-eyed wolves that you can't raise. β
"It's a pity that since the Song Dynasty, you have lost our esteem qualifications." Ito Ying re-posed the starting gesture of drawing the sword: "A nation without a backbone will inevitably be destroyed, and we who have inherited the culture of the Han and Tang dynasties are the masters of that land!" β
"Racism and megalomania...... I'm arguing with you that it's like your head is caught in the door. The sky was condensed, but the mouth cannon did not stop: "After being beaten by me three times in a row, you dare to appear in front of me, should I admire your courage?" Or should I despise your worrisome intelligence? β
ββ¦β¦ No one is going to lose all the time. The man, codenamed Ghost Warrior, continued to grow in momentum, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You should have received the communication by now." β
β¦β¦
Bang!
The silence of the morning is shattered by a loud thunderclap, and frightened birds fly in patches, accompanied by small mushroom clouds that resemble atomic bomb explosions, reminiscent of the opening tone of a Hollywood disaster movie.
With such a big movement, it is impossible for Mo Wen not to notice it.
ββ¦β¦ Listen to it! After being interrupted from the formation teaching, Mo Wen launched the Search Immortal Technique without hesitation, and then his face darkened.
"Master?" Seeing that Mo Wen's face was not good, the black god asked in a low voice.
ββ¦β¦ Wake up that lazy worm. βγβ¦β¦ A bad omen, I see. Mo Wen's voice carried a hint of determination: "We are in big trouble. β
β¦β¦
"Phew! I thought that the ninjutsu that that guy launched with his life was to kill...... I didn't expect the purpose to be a message. The elite Shinobi, who was disgraced by the shock wave and dust, looked ugly: "The surprise attack plan has failed, and the target should be released." β
"So what? It's less than three kilometers away from their destination, and they can't run away. The man with the long knife sneered: "I hope they escape, so that although we will be a little more troublesome to catch, we will also avoid the loss of the attack." β
"Now group into squads and search in a net!" The elite shinobu frowned and gave an order: "After encountering a powerful enemy, it is allowed to send a distress signal, and start acting immediately!" β
"Yes!"
β¦β¦
"Your goal...... Is it Hao Ren's hospital where they cultivate?! The firmament's heart moved, and his body paused unconsciously. Seeing the flaw, Ito Ei made a decisive move, and the accumulated murderous aura poured out wildly, the blade cut through the air, the wind roared like thunder, and the samurai used one of Toei's most famous martial arts, the sword drawing technique, with an indomitable momentum.
Drawing the sword, also known as the jutsu of Iai, is an ancient Japanese swordsmanship that pursues a one-hit kill, and with Ito Ei's level at this time, this sword can even cut a hill in two.
But it's a pity that this amazing knife was still cut in the empty space after all.
"Sure enough...... At this stage, you are simply undefeated. Ito put away the knife and sighed regretfully.
ββ¦β¦ They actually sent people to attack our rear. The firmament's face was ugly: "How did you bypass the defense line?!" Aren't you afraid that we will go all the way to the Sand Ninja Village? β
"We never cared if we won or lost this war, as long as we weakened you, it was a victory." After the first move failed, the samurai no longer tried to slash the sky, "As for how to bypass the defense......
"Do you think you're the only one who can use the power of space?"
β¦β¦
"Master, why don't you let us fight with you?" The black god asked, "Although those travelers don't have combat power, they should still be able to defend the formation." β
ββ¦β¦ I don't trust them, either in ability or character. Mo Wen said bluntly: "Besides, you don't know this magic circle, but you need to manipulate it accurately, those guys are all novices, and if something goes wrong, they will lose the whole game...... Don't worry, isn't there still Xiaobai with me? β
"Don't ask, I'm ready!"
"My lord, I'm in place."
ββ¦β¦ Then I'll activate the circle. After receiving Lias and Moeka's affirmative answers, Mo Wen raised the cloud shadow and began to chant the incantation.
β¦β¦
"It's ...... Enchantment? β
Three minutes later, the sand ninjas who had crossed the Konoha defense line entered Mo Wen's stronghold, and then were quickly attracted by the cone-shaped translucent light curtain that emitted a multicolored light.
"I didn't expect them to run away but chose to stick to it?" The leading elite Shinobu frowned, "Tentative attack!" β
"Wait!" The black-clothed warrior suddenly spoke: "Let me observe ...... first"
[Discovered!] The invisible fluctuation swept by, and Mo Wen, who hid in the soil with the technique of retreat, was in a daze, and hurriedly pinched the law and escaped from the ground.
"There's still a guy here who hasn't hid in the barrier." After seeing Mo Wen, the elite Shangren's eyes lit up: "Capture him alive!" β
[Sneak attack failed...... I can only go on the front. Facing dozens of eyes with hostile and even murderous intent. Mo Wen sighed lightly and showed a cloud shadow.
β¦β¦
"What do you say? An unknown number of sand ninjas have bypassed our defenses?! Qimu Shuomao's face changed slightly: "This is not a joke...... Can you be sure? β
"I'm sure." Cangqiong looked serious: "I have a special means of communication under my command...... They have been attacked. β
Silence soon fell in the tent.
"Keep going!" After a while, Konoha White Fang made a decision: "It's useless to go back now, the only thing I can do is ......"
"It is to use the blood of the enemy to rest the departed companions!"
β¦β¦
"Senior brother, we ......" Zi Yu looked at the sky and stopped talking.
"Konoha White Fang's choice is the right one." The sky let out a long sigh: "This time...... I lost, and the Japanese taught me a good lesson...... I was a little careless about these smooth trips around the world...... I'm still not fit to be a leader. β
"But I haven't lost to the end!" The sky looked into the distance: "Fortunately, I asked Mo to ask in order to prevent Konoha from having a black hand...... This can be regarded as a crooked fight, but I don't know how many people Ito Ei and Sand Shinobi have sent over. β
"Now we have to believe him."
"You're right, now I can only trust him."
β¦β¦
[There are ten travelers from the hostile camp, six in the three-star median, one in the three-star upper rank, and three in the four-star lower rank...... There are eighteen ninjas, one elite upper ninja, four upper ninjas, twelve middle ninjas, and one lower ninja. With his gaze sweeping, Mo Wen easily gained the enemy's simple strength. [This battle...... Hanging. γ
[Traveler in the middle of the four-star ...... He's a master! The leader of the travelers squinted: "Lord Nishikawa, if you want to capture him, you can only do it yourself." β
"Leave it to me." The sand ninja leader pulled out the short knife on his waist and stared at Mo Wen: "Boy, if you don't want to endure hardship, just grab it...... When the time comes, it will be too late to regret it with one arm and half a leg! β
[No matter how much I delay, reinforcements will not arrive before the end of this battle...... That is to say, shall I pick twenty-eight? I thought it was a difficult difficulty, but it turned out to be purgatory. Mo Wen did not reply, but carefully observed his enemies. [In terms of strength and realm, this elite Shangnin is the strongest, and he is a four-star mid-stage hero like me......]
"Do you choose to resist? Then ......" Elite Shangnin didn't say much, his hands quickly sealed, and his cheeks bulged at the same time, like a frog.
"Wind escape. Big Break! β
[The flaws are minimal, the words are domineering, but the moves are so careful...... There is no chance to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. Mo Wen flashed in an instant, allowing the violent air flow to impact on the barrier of the magic circle behind him, and then stabbed the enemy in front of the door with a backhand.
β¦β¦
"Captain Benchen, should we make a sneak attack?" A traveler looked at Mo Wen, with an undisguised look of greed in his eyes: "There must be a lot of good things on this kind of master!" β
"Now that we are making a move, we will lose the face of His Excellency Xichuan, don't forget that he is a famous family with a blood inheritance limit, and he is very arrogant...... And now both of them are tempting, and your sneak attack has no effect. The black-clothed warrior said coldly, "Breaking this barrier as soon as possible is the right way - there are many travelers there, and you can earn it." β
β¦β¦
[The knife skills are average, but there are basically no superfluous movements, and the basic speed and strength are stronger than mine......] Blocking the short knife that stabbed him, dodging the heavy punch that hit him, Mo Wen's expression became more and more serious. [So far, he hasn't let go of his hands to attack, and there's no way to know what he's best at...... Do you want to kill him in seconds with a burst of blood? γ
[No, although burning blood can achieve strong power in a short time, there is still a group of people around me, and after losing a certain amount of blood, my strength, speed and even flexibility will inevitably decline in all directions, and the gains outweigh the losses...... Let's look for opportunities! The monk's defenses are airtight, waiting for the right moment.
But he didn't expect that the opportunity would come so soon.
[The physical technique is very strong, and it can use the Muji ninjutsu, since this is the case......] After fighting for more than half a minute, Xichuan Yuanting already had a certain understanding of Mo Wen's strength. The ninja slashed at Mo Wen's sword with all his might, and then jumped up with the force of the shock, retracted the knife into the sheath, and quickly sealed his hands like butterflies piercing flowers.
γLost. The call of the river on the three ways! γ
The invisible fluctuations unreasonably hit Mo Wen's body before he could react, and the monk's body froze and stopped in place.
[Did he use illusions? Oops! Seeing that there was no reaction at all after the seal of Nishikawa Entei, Kensuke Mototsu seemed to think of something, his face changed greatly, he took out his katana and rushed into the door and shouted: "Be careful, he is not afraid of ......"
"Huh?" Nishikawa Entei, who was seriously manipulating Chakra's release of the illusion, was slightly distracted by Kensuke Benchen's actions, and at this moment, Mo Wen, who was standing still after he completed the seal, suddenly increased his speed, and the human sword turned into a rainbow light and burst out, rushing towards the elite Shangnin who couldn't dodge.
[How is that possible?!] He obviously fell for my strongest illusion, how could he not react at all......] The sword light reached his body, and Xichuan Yuanting still looked incredible.
The sword light swept by, and Xichuan Garden Pavilion was cut in two, and the shattered organs fell to the ground with the blood. And Mo Wen, who was powerless to change his moves, was also slashed in the chest by the intervening Benchen Kensuke, and flew out upside down - Mo Wen had already opened the talisman technique on the robe, and Benchen Kensuke's hasty blow only caused a certain shock to his qi and blood.
In the thirty-seventh second after the two sides officially clashed, Mo Wen took advantage of the traveler's natural advantage of not having chakra in his body to slash the sand ninja leader under the sword at the cost of minor injuries.
β¦β¦
"It was a split between victory and defeat in an instant...... Is that guy as strong as an Elder? Zhou Zheng was dumbfounded.
"It's very common for a master to make a move...... But this does not mean that Mo Wen's strength can crush that elite Shangnin. Hao Ren's face was heavy: "Now he is still at a disadvantage...... After all, there are too many people on the other side. β
"Can we get out?" Liu Bin lifted his spear and looked at the black god who was at the center of the formation: "My injuries were not serious, but now I can fight." β
"No...... It takes a certain amount of time to start after stopping the formation. The black god shook his head, then looked at Bai Qiong, who Mo Wen had deliberately stayed in the formation, and sighed: "...... What's more, are you sure you have what it takes to survive the siege of so many enemies? β
"No ......" Liu Bin bowed his head: "But since I have the ability to fight, there is no reason to avoid fighting...... Even if I die, I don't want to be a coward! β
But you can't disregard the lives of others...... After all, Master's main task is to protect you. The black god was silent for a moment: "In this way, you first contact those travelers and Konoha ninjas who still have a certain amount of combat power and have the same idea as you, and after the master has defeated their fighting spirit, I will open the magic circle and let you make a move, how about it?" β
ββ¦β¦ There are twenty-seven people on the other side, don't you need our help? β
"I believe in my master!" The black god clenched his fingers: "Since he said so, he will definitely do it......"
β¦β¦
[Damn...... The message that the traveler is not afraid of illusion was originally hidden in order to win a few points against those ninjas who can illusion in the future, but he didn't expect to trap his own people. Looking at the corpse of Nishikawa Garden Pavilion divided into two pieces, Kensuke Benchen had a very bad face: "Except for the people who study this enchantment, the rest of the people will go up together and kill him!" β
"And don't use illusions, it's useless to that person."
The four shinobi who were shocked by the death of Xichuan Yuantei came back to their senses when they heard this, glanced at each other, and nodded silently.
