Chapter 39: Fighting
Not far away, a pair of eyes with resentment and murderous intent focused on the Yanagi sword shadow that appeared on the battlefield.
Andrew looked at the Konoha ninja who was dusty but not injured, his hands hanging at his side were clenched into fists, and his palms were pierced by his nails, but he didn't feel it at all.
Andrew and his group members were first following the three of Sword Shadow, and he watched how this Konoha ninja defeated the enemy in the distance, and then the other party was stopped by the Sand Ninja and Rain Ninja squad. At that time, Andrew was still happy that the other party was finally blocked and helped him solve so much trouble.
But now, Andrew, who has all the members of the team killed in battle, is unwilling to Jayora and their mentality, then he has an unforgettable hatred for Yanagi Sword Shadow.
It's not that he doesn't understand reality, and he doesn't know that Yanagi Kenkage has nothing to do with his situation, but after Andrew is hit, he must establish a goal for himself to "complete even if he dies", no matter which way you look at it, Kenkage is the most suitable.
It's a pity that his chakra has been exhausted, his chest is full of anger, his heart is more than enough, and he is no longer able to fight.
"Yanagi Sword Shadow, we'll meet again."
Leaving these words, Andrew quietly retreated, he lost the qualification to continue taking the exam, and he did not have the ability to continue.
At this time, as long as the lone ninja leaves a certain range, he will be considered by the examination director of the Sand Ninja Village to give up voluntarily, and send the ninja to inquire about the intention, if there is any intention to quit, he will be directly handed over to his leading teacher, if there is no teacher to lead the team when he comes, he can be allowed to recuperate in the Sand Ninja Village Hospital for a week.
But it's only a week, and after a week, no matter what the injuries are, you have to leave the hospital, of course, if this person has the money and is willing to spend money to stay in the Sand Ninja Village, it's another matter.
The fists and feet were staggered, the sword shadow had just withdrawn his right hand, and his left arm was handed forward, and a kunai stabbed at the ninja who was in mid-air and had not yet controlled his body and did not reduce the supply side.
The ninja's pupils shrank suddenly, and a thought popped into his heart: "Oops..."
"Ding!"
A pair of steel claws knocked Kunai, who was about to take his life, into the air, and then the steel claws flipped outward, aiming the blade at the shadow of the sword, and sped with the wind.
Yanagi's face remained unchanged, and he fell sideways, steel claws sliding over his body.
The person who used the steel claw attack saw him dodge, and immediately braked the attack, leaving the steel claw on top of the sword shadow, and another flip, the blade pointing downward, restricting Yanagi sword shadow's body. At the same time, his right arm was raised high, the same jet-black steel blade as his left hand glowing brilliantly in the desert sun.
"Be careful." The ninja who had just been rescued was in a state of panic and wanted to enter the battle, only to find that his teammates had not noticed - the left leg of the sword shadow had completed the action of charging.
"Whew", "Drinkโ"
The swept black shadow was made of steel, tearing through the air, and even if it wasn't swept by the kick, the ninja who used the steel claws as a weapon could sense the stinging pain in his skin. Suddenly, Ling Ran stared at the sword shadow to prevent the other party from suddenly rushing forward while he was unprepared: "You can't underestimate it." This guy is very explosive. โ
Steelclaw's companion bowed his head, adjusting his breathing, and whispered back, "See." โ
Finding that the attack had failed, Yanagi didn't stay in place after the opponent had distanced himself from him, and he started activating almost the moment he hit the ground - circling around the two guys who clearly saw themselves as enemies.
While moving, Yagyu Kenkage aimed at the ninja who was injured in a calf protected by the two, and everyone could beat the water dog, let alone when the battle situation was not dominant.
"Despicable."
Kunai and Steel Claw intersected, and the spark exploded between the two, and the sword shadow immediately retreated after failing to strike, including the ninja who was injured in the calf, and the attacks of the other two slashed across the position where they had just stayed.
Before it was over, the sword shadow who had opened up the distance took a breath, and the chakra exploded under his feet, causing the speed to increase sharply, and threw four shuriken at the three people who gathered together.
The steel-clawed ninja waved his arms and knocked the four shurikens away, gritted his teeth and looked at the sword shadow running over, and roared at him: "Come on! โ
"I won't let you down." When he finished speaking, Yanagi Sword Shadow came to a place less than four meters away from the three of them, and the steel-clawed ninja who was full of anger wanted to make a straight stab attack, but the almost face-to-face Sword Shadow didn't give him a chance, he made a squatting motion.
The force that rushed over was carried underground with both feet on the ground, and with its own weight and the special terrain of the desert, a large amount of yellow sand impact force was squeezed out of the ground and thrown into the air into a small sandstorm.
The stabbing attack failed, and the heart of the Steelclaw Ninja after losing his vision was raised to his throat, and a great fear rose in his heart as he looked at the sand that enveloped him.
Fear comes from the fear of death that arises from the depths of consciousness.
In an instant, or perhaps a millisecond, the Steelclaw Ninja erupted at unimaginable speed under the pressure of death, and in an instant, it burst out of the dusty range.
The pressure in his heart faded, and as he landed, he heard the sound of weapons tapping from the dust.
"Bastard." Feeling angry and worried about the safety of his companions, the Steelclaw Ninja, who had just escaped from danger, could only re-enter the battle circle and rush towards the place where he had escaped.
The sight of the place covered by the sand is useless, and if the sand enters the eyes, it will interfere with the senses, so the ninja inside closes his eyelids, up his ears, and does his best to capture the battle position with his sense of hearing, and analyze the difference between his companions and enemies.
"Peng."
A black shadow flew out of the dust, and the Steelclaw Ninja stopped his momentum and stood ready to defend, and then he reacted, and it was his companion who flew in mid-air.
"Poof...", a very slight sound, but he still heard it, and the sound came from the place where the sand was shrouded. The sound was familiar, and a similar sound could be heard every time a steel blade slice through an enemy's throat.
He caught his companion and looked ahead.
Caught by the steel claw ninja, the ninja clutched his chest, his face was pale, and he couldn't breathe.
However, his companion, the Steelclaw Ninja, had no time to care, because another black shadow burst out of the dust, and that black shadow was so fast, it could never be a companion with an injured calf.
Fire escape, the art of phoenix fire.
Several fireballs spread out like impatiens and flew from the air to the ground, where did the steel claw ninja dare to stay in place, and even the ninja who was crouching to the side and holding his chest to catch his breath jumped out of the attack range with all his might.
"Bang ......"
Successive fireballs smashed into the sand, raising sand with a blazing skin.
After dodging the attack, the two ninjas stood guard back-to-back, and the dust raised reminded them of the scene just now.
However, the worries of the two were unnecessary, and the sword shadow had already targeted the attack on the other people - these people didn't know why the sword shadow attacked the steel claw ninja group, and was ready to cross the battle line after no one else interfered with him, but he didn't expect that Yagyu sword shadow didn't solve the enemy in his hand, so he gave up the fruit that was very likely to be in his hand without hesitation, and targeted them.
"Woo, dingโ"
In just two seconds, the two sides exchanged hands several times, and then one left and one right landed on the sand. Sword Shadow bent his knees, staggered his legs, and bent down to lower his center of gravity; On the other side, the three of them scattered into a line, faintly encircling the sword shadow.
The ninja with a bit of prestige among the three glanced at the Steelclaw Ninja and his party, the essence of light flashed in his eyes, and he moved his gaze to focus on the sword shadow: "Konoha's friend." Sometimes, seemingly smart choices can cost you your life. โ
The team of the Steel Claw Ninja lost the possibility of promotion because of the death of a teammate, and this feud is not light, but the ninja in front of him actually set the target on himself after offending other ninjas, which made him feel that the other party was unreasonable, too arrogant, too confident and too self-conscious.
Not far further is the Sand Ninja Village, the exam is about to end, he doesn't want to have any more accidents, the most important thing now is to find a way to get the team repaired after the exam.
Sword Shadow couldn't wait for time, he didn't have the confidence to block the dozen or so groups in front of him, and besides, in addition to the squad that maintained a complete sequence, there were also twenty or thirty lone wolves, who had lost their comrades, they would rush up and bite off a piece of meat from the enemy as soon as they found an opportunity, these people had no distinction between friend and foe, and the reason why they no longer killed each other was because they had a common goal.
When Nagata and Aoika return, Kenkage will have to face not only the ninjas who have already formed a grudge against him, but also the many lone wolves who are waiting for others to fall into the quagmire.
"Maybe. Why don't you teach me this..."
Seeing that the thigh muscles of the enemy on both sides of him suddenly tensed, the sword shadow did not dare to stay in place, Chakra poured into the soles of his feet, and the accumulated strength made him come to the enemy in the middle in an instant.
"You-" The captain of this group is quite capable, and in the face of a sudden situation, he knows that he can't avoid it, and immediately takes a posture of risking his life. Holding kunai in both hands, he rushed towards the chest of the enemy who appeared in front of him, the force of this blow would not be very large, and it was likely that when it pierced the dermis of Yanagi Sword Shadow, it would lose momentum because of the death of its master.
This seems to be taking advantage, but there is still danger, and now is not the time to fight for his life, so Yanagi Sword Shadow chose to retreat.
With a small and broad, if you can win, you will naturally be overjoyed, just like the footbasin country in the real world, which tasted the sweetness in the wars that gambled on the fortunes of the country again and again, but failed in the last time, and the ending was miserable. At that time, he occupied most of the land in China, but unfortunately, all his thoughts came to naught if he made a mistake.
Kenkage, who has hole cards, doesn't need to do this, although he hopes to use this exam to add points to his impression of Konoha high-level, but he doesn't have to do it, after all, there are also Nagata and Aoika who are taking the exam with him, provoking too many enemies, even if he passes this exam, he may usher in a siege in the next exam.
The ninjas on both sides stopped rushing towards the position where Kenkage was standing just now, but when they turned around and rushed over, Yagyu Kenkage had already separated from the ninja in the middle.
Although the distance was widened, the attack did not stop, the sword shadow threw his hands forward, and the sealing runes on the bracers emitted white mist, "Boom", and suddenly turned into three shuriken.
Three on the left and right, a total of six shurikens, were thrown, and they pounced on the three enemies in six slightly arcing trajectories.
"Let's go."
Seeing the sword shadow smash the three ninjas and deal with one of them, these people know how terrible their opponent is, he is like a poisonous snake that will kill him if he is not careful.
Moreover, seeing that the other party is also fighting alone, I am afraid that my teammates have an accident. It's better for a few of them to preserve their strength, and they don't need to bite each other with a person who has lost the qualification for promotion.
The three of them scattered and jumped into the air, thinking that they had avoided the attack, but they didn't expect that the person fleeing to the right had just avoided the two shuriken when they immediately encountered a fireball.
The fireball is huge, blazing, and the flames are sultry. With his life in danger, his hands were still in the air and he began to seal.
Hao Fireball Technique, Yanagi Sword Shadow is already very numerous, and it can be quickly deployed. The ninja on the opposite side is now exhausted from the previous battle, and in the face of his own attack, it is easy to kill him with one move.
Every bit of energy of the Blood Essence Stone will add a trace to the original chakra recovery speed and vitality recovery speed of the Sword Shadow. Now that he has fifty-two points of energy and his own medical ninjutsu, apart from poison injuries, Jian Ying hardly cares about injuries.
Unless he frequently uses B-level and above ninjutsu to engage in fierce battles, with the control of Yanagi Sword Shadow, there will be no worries about running out of chakra. He has already surpassed the efficiency of using chakra to the middle ninja, not to mention the previous Naruto Uzumaki.
Because of this, a few minutes of hand-to-hand combat allowed Sword Shadow's Chakra to recover to a certain extent, and he took out two Fire Escape Ninjutsu in a row to attack the enemy.
The fireball disappeared in mid-air, there was no figure on the ground and no charred corpse, the sword shadow sensed the chakra on a sandy ground twenty meters away, the corners of his mouth curled, his body moved again, and he jumped into the air with a scroll in his hand, unfolding it in the eyes of others who didn't know it.
The enemy borrowed the earth stand-in to leave at the last moment, but although it was easier to use the earth escape in the desert than the water escape, it was not so easy, and the consumption of chakra was almost equal to casting a C-level ninjutsu, which was equivalent to the fireball technique used by Sword Shadow.
The guy had already separated from his companions, in line with Sword Shadow's plan to divide and annihilate him, so he didn't care about him, and instead targeted the two remaining ninjas.
The unfolded scroll was very long, nearly three meters, and the scroll was covered with incantations, and the words "soldier" and "seal" made people who saw it feel bad.
In the next second, a cloud of white mist appeared at the seal on the scroll, and then, like raindrops, the ninja stabbed at the two ninjas.
Coming from modern society, although Jian Ying hopes that one day he will be able to open the strength of the sky and the earth, there is a vision of rocket washing the ground in his heart. The whirlpool masked man died once under the detonation charm prepared by Xiao Nan, which shows that simple things can come together and form a terrifying kill.
The two ninjas who were pressed and beaten by the sword shadow gritted their teeth, but they could only retreat in the face of this attack. No matter how much unwillingness and dissatisfaction there is, after being combined with reality, it can only turn into helplessness.
The iron ninja made a soft "poof" sound when it fell on the sand, and because of the fluidity of the sand, the ninja that fell on it was crooked and scattered.
After the scroll released the stored ninja equipment, it consumed the attention of the two of them, and at this time, the sword shadow showed its fangs.
A kunai empowered by the shadow of the sword with a sufficient number of chakras came out of his hand and stabbed into the heart of one of the ninjas with lightning speed. The kunai was very strong, and the ninja who hit him fell to the ground three or four meters away as if he had been knocked over by a truck while taking off, and the kunai was very deep, and only the end grip remained outside.
Because of the condensation of chakra, when the kunai pierced **, it not only destroyed the muscle tissue and internal organs, but also smashed the large and small blood vessels near the wound. Therefore, the dead ninja's heart only had a trace of blood around Kunai, and a large amount of blood was sealed inside the body and could not overflow.
He killed another person, but the sword shadow didn't have a chance to enjoy peace, and the sound of the blade behind him tearing through the air stimulated his nerves like a needlepoint.
"Bang", the steel claw slashed across the back of the sword shadow, cutting off nearly half of his body. However, the fallen corpses were turned into damaged stakes in the white mist.
"Ding-ding-choking-"
The blades staggered, the roar of metal seemed to pierce a person's eardrums, and the steelclaw ninja turned around to see that the sword shadow was fighting with his companion, and his companion was so embarrassed by the other party that it seemed that he would lose his life in the next second.
The opponent's combat power made Steel Claw dare not hesitate, but he was afraid that if he was half a point slower, his companion would become a dead corpse. So he sprinted hard and stepped forward to try to save his companion's disadvantage.
The power of the grip on the soles of the feet passes quickly in the desert, and the result of trying to move forward is the sliding of fine sand. Moving at a very fast speed in the desert requires the use of techniques similar to those used to climb trees and tread water, which is very important despite the fact that it is low compared to the first two.
Even if a ninja has enough chakra, it is rare for them to step on the surface of the sea to travel to another continent, but the Land of the Wind is too big, and most of it is desert, and to maintain the speed of travel on this terrain, this skill must be carved into the bones. Like a person who is accustomed to mountain roads and a long-distance runner, choosing the wrong environment will make his advantage go away.
The running Steelclaw Ninja suddenly felt a slip under his feet, which made him step on the air, and he hurriedly stabilized his body, only to catch a glimpse of something quickly rising from under the sand in the process. The alertness caused the Steel Claw Ninja to leap quickly, avoiding the palm that tried to grab his ankle.
"It's Tu Dun again... Well? It's not good-" Putting his eyes on the palm stretched out from under the sand, he suddenly felt something approaching quickly by his side, looked up to the right, and immediately shouted that it was not good, but it was the sword shadow holding the kunai approaching.
