Chapter 61: Deception
The situation in the field was not clear to Shiraishi.
Although it is a two-on-two situation, Ayane has now lost her combat ability, and the remaining chakra in her body is probably very reluctant to even open her eyes, let alone try to fight with soft fists.
The root ninja was killed by him first, but the remaining two, one of whom was the captain, was undoubtedly a ninja of the upper ninja level.
The other person can enter the root, and it must not be a simple ninja.
It would be very difficult to reuse their carelessness and kill them.
After the scene just now, the vigilance in the hearts of the two of them has reached the extreme.
The two root people on the opposite side, after the anger in their eyes calmed down, also regained their composure, although their eyes were even colder, they wanted to kill Shiraishi quickly, but considering Shiraishi, the strength that was completely unknown to the two of them could not act rashly.
The member next to the ninja who was the leader of the root force suddenly stretched out his palm, and a large number of black insects flew out of his cuffs, surrounding the white stone from all directions.
Oil Girl's? Bai Shi said secretly in his heart.
Seeing that the other party was fighting with bugs, Shiraishi understood which clan the other party came from.
Among Konoha, only the Oil Maiden have such a secret skill of insects.
This clan is assigned a forest in Konoha to cultivate bugs suitable for battle, these bugs have different types and characteristics, and they are good at scouting, defending, and attacking.
It is said that there are even more special poisonous insects that can be very troublesome if they are touched.
Seeing that the black clouds formed by the insects surrounded from all directions in an irregular shape, Shiraishi did not panic too much, and his body disappeared directly from the spot.
The insects surrounded the place where Shiraishi had disappeared and stopped in the air for a moment before they began to pounce in the direction where Shiraishi was moving.
In Shiraishi's eyes, the speed at which the insect flies can only be regarded as relatively fast, but compared to his own speed, it is actually quite clumsy.
Therefore, it is not difficult to escape the attack of bugs.
However, his opponent was not only the oil girl ninja, the captain was the strongest of the four.
Sure enough, he was able to see Shiraishi's movements clearly, and pulled out the ninja knife from behind his back, holding the knife in one hand and sealing it in the other.
Shiraishi's eyes narrowed slightly.
An insignificant breeze swept by.
Shiraishi sideways avoided the blade and swung it at him with the blade in his hand.
The captain ninja's eyes lit up, and he drew his sword back, making contact with Shiraishi's ninja sword.
There was an extra crack on Shiraishi's ninja knife, and when the opponent's ninja knife cut through the air, it produced a very strange sound.
The sound was as sharp and piercing as a stone scraping through glass.
"Konoha Stream Swordsmanship: Shock!"
Shiraishi's brows furrowed, and he subconsciously turned his head away, but there was still a cut on his face.
Not only his face, but also his calves and arms were also cut by invisible blades.
Wind? Shiraishi couldn't strike a blow, and immediately stepped back, thinking in his heart.
Looking at the ninja knife in his hand, it is estimated that it will be broken if it comes a few more times.
Seeing Shiraishi retreat, the captain ninja clenched his ninja sword and bravely pursued forward.
Shiraishi continued to dodge, only to hear the strange sound again, the screeching sound of sharp stones cutting across the glass.
"Avoided it?"
The captain ninja saw that Shiraishi dodged in time this time, and avoided all the invisible airflow blades just right, so there was surprise in his voice.
I was even more surprised in my heart.
Staring at Baishi, who had a flat face, he couldn't tell what a powerful imp was at all, but it turned out to be just once, and he saw through his swordsmanship.
Such a guy is still friendly with the guys of Uchiha, and he must follow the will of Danzo-sama and get rid of the threat as soon as possible. Captain Ninja said secretly in his heart.
"You're the first person to see through my swordsmanship so quickly."
Despite being an enemy, Captain Ninja did not hesitate to praise Shiraishi's talents.
Bai Shi said very modestly: "It's nothing, it's just that I have a little understanding of the swordsmanship of the wind attribute, and those air flow blades have used sound to cause it, right?" I happen to have seen similar attacks. ”
"Really?"
If you ignore the coldness in the tone of the two, it seems that the two of them are just chatting between friends, so relaxed and freehand.
"It's a pity that the second attack won't work, but it might be a good thing for you, because then you can die less painfully."
The captain ninja lowered the ninja sword and gave up the fight.
Bai Shi was slightly stunned, and then the wound that had been cut by the air flow blade before suddenly splattered a large amount of blood from it, flying into the air, and his body fell weakly.
"It's a pity, if a young ninja like you really obeys Danzo-sama, he will definitely be reused in the future. But the path you have chosen, you have to stick to it through pain and grit your teeth. ”
Captain Ninja put the shinobi knife back behind his back and sighed regretfully.
"Your biggest mistake is that you shouldn't compete with me. Among Konoha, the only one who can surpass me in swordsmanship is White Fang. ”
Shiraishi has such strength at a young age, which makes it a pity for the captain ninja.
Not only that, but he is also a very rare medical ninja, if he can really join the root effect, then, their root work, maybe can be completed a little faster.
Let Konoha enter a new era.
It is up to their roots to rule the era of Konoha.
"Shiraishi-kun!?"
Seeing Shiraishi's body weakly falling, Ayane's face changed in shock and she ran towards Shiraishi.
Captain Ninja didn't stand in the way.
Because of that kind of injury, no one would be alive.
Once slashed by his Airflow Blade, his chakra will settle in the enemy's body for a period of time, and finally perform a spell to guide the attack from within the enemy and completely destroy it.
However, this move will cost a lot of chakra, so it will only be used when encountering a strong enemy.
And in his opinion, Shiraishi has the qualifications to enjoy this trick.
"Don't grieve for the loss of your friend, little girl from the Hyuga family, at least in the record of this mission, you will be heroes. Of course, in the form of a heroic battle with the sand shinobi and died of exhaustion. ”
This is perhaps the greatest compassion of all.
It is also the darkness that their roots bear.
The captain ninja walked over to Ayane, the killing intent in his eyes sublimated to the extreme.
This time he won't be careless.
It only needs to recover the Uchiha's writing wheel eye, and then secretly dispose of the bodies of the three people, and this mission is completed.
"Captain! Be careful!? ”
The ninja of the Oil Girl clan seemed to sense something, and shouted anxiously at the captain ninja.
"Huh?"
The captain ninja tilted his head slightly and looked at his subordinates suspiciously.
Then he felt a chill under his neck.
A dark shadow loomed in front of him, and then flew by.
Scratch it out.
Blood splattered from it.
The captain ninja couldn't let out a scream, just clutched his throat, which was extremely wounded and bleeding, and twitched and struggled on the ground.
Shiraishi panted and came to the side of the captain ninja, dragging his bloody body and staring at him with jealous eyes.
When those strange air currents entered his body, Shiraishi used natural energy to feel it keenly, so he used natural energy to protect the important parts of his body in advance, and when the air flow blade detonated, the injury was much shallower than expected.
Shiraishi crouched down, hooked kunai from his ninja bag, and stabbed the captain ninja in the chest, ruthlessly ending his life.
"Personally, I don't like to be a hero, so I'll humbly give you this title."
Then, Shiraishi looked at the last ninja at the root with cold eyes.
The other party was completely frightened by the momentum on Shiraishi's body, and when he heard the sound of him swallowing saliva in fear, the palm of the hand that controlled the insect cloud was trembling.
Ayane was relieved to see that Shiraishi was fine.
Because Shiraishi suddenly pretended to be dead, it was not revealed in advance, so Ayane thought that Shiraishi was really killed.
Shiraishi-kun is still so good at deceiving people. Ayane complained in her heart.
The main thing is that the appearance of the big blood spurt just now is really scary, and in general, in that case, it is impossible for anyone to be alive.
As a result, Shiraishi was still alive.
Next, there is only one enemy left.
Ayane also stared at the last root ninja with a fierce gaze.
"Let's go."
Shiraishi said suddenly.
As soon as these words came out, not only Ayane, but even the root ninja glanced at Shiraishi in surprise.
"Let me ...... Walk? ”
The other party seemed to be a little unconvinced that Shiraishi would say that.
"I'm injured right now, and I'm not sure I'm going to take you down. And you don't want to die here, do you, so how about we both stop? After all, you still need to report to your superiors, don't you? ”
Shiraishi lured up.
Ayane was stunned, seemed to understand something, and acquiesced to Shiraishi's idea.
And that root ninja is even more incredible, at this time, if he is really very weak, Shiraishi should use a tougher stance.
As a result, Shiraishi calmly said that he was seriously injured, and the root ninja hesitated in his heart.
To be honest, although he wants to avenge his dead companion, the pressure on him from Shiraishi is too great.
Indeed, it is very beneficial for both parties to stop now.
He wanted to reconfirm: "Are you really willing to let me go?" ”
"Ah, that's all said, I'm seriously injured now, and at most I'll lose both of you, and I'll die together. I still have decades to enjoy and don't want to die at such a young age. Therefore, the best outcome is for both sides to stop and make peace. ”
The root ninja calmed down and took a deep breath.
He began to step back, seeing that Shiraishi was unresponsive and Ayane was also standing obediently to the side, without any action.
After withdrawing more than ten meters, Shiraishi and Ayane still didn't react, and the other party believed Shiraishi's words and left here with an instantaneous technique.
About three or five seconds after he left the place, Shiraishi suddenly collapsed, gasping for air, his face twisted in pain, and his skin turned pale.
The sword technique of the captain ninja just now was too serious for him.
If he didn't have such a thing as natural energy, he would have been a dead corpse long ago.
"Are you alright?"
Ayane hurriedly came over to support Shiraishi and asked with a worried expression.
"It's okay, it will take some time for Chakra to recover, and I can't use medical ninjutsu during this time."
Shiraishi gasped and smiled reluctantly.
Ayane nodded, and was about to help Shiraishi back.
There was the sound of footsteps behind me.
It was the root ninja who went and returned.
Seeing Shiraishi's extremely weak state, everything immediately understood.
"I see, is it also a deception just now? You little devil is so insidious, you almost got overwhelmed. If I don't come back, I might be able to get you away with it. ”
Ayane's body froze.
Shiraishi's pale face also showed cold sweat.
"Haha, aren't you really afraid of me? I'm going to kill your captain. ”
What Shiraishi is trying to do to save the situation.
"When you little devil came out of your mother's womb, you probably never told the truth. I'm sorry, but because of your character problems, I don't trust a word of your words anymore. ”
The root ninja looked at Shiraishi with a see-through look.
"Hey, that's ironic, I-"
Shiraishi is still trying to use his words to guide the root ninja and bring his mind to a dead end to solve the current crisis.
However, the other party was very confident in his guesses, and was full of distrust for every word of Shiraishi's words.
"Worm Jade!"
The black insect cloud sped over, very fast.
Shiraishi violently pushed Ayane aside, but when it was his turn, he could barely dodge and roll on the ground.
He ignored the bugs and quickly rushed towards the Root Ninja.
The Root Ninja couldn't have let Shiraishi get his wish, and then released a large number of black bugs from his cuffs again, erecting a thick barrier in front of him.
The root ninja had already anticipated the miserable posture of Shiraishi being surrounded by bugs and then gnawing clean.
His heart is filled with dark feelings of wanting tyrannical revenge.
The sound of stamping came from behind.
The root ninja turned his head, and the ninja knife swiped from his neck.
With the blood splattering, the ninja knife, which was already on the verge of breaking, finally broke in the middle from the burden.
The blood-stained blade fell, plunging straight into the earth.
The sound of the broken blade falling to the ground sounded, and the body of the root ninja also fell to the ground at the same moment.
He stared at Shiraishi with unwilling and resentful eyes, and he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say the words 'you are lying again'.
Shiraishi gasped as he crouched down, closing the eyes of the root ninja who couldn't blink, and sighed softly.
"I'm sorry, I'm such a despicable person. You're right, every word I say to you is deceptive. But isn't it because you think you're making the right judgment? ”
Ayane saw this scene from the sidelines, showing an expression that didn't know what to say.
Should I say that it is despicable, or should I use terrible to describe Shiraishi's person?
His injuries were severe, but not to the point where he couldn't fight.
It's just that I can't be sure that I can kill the opponent 100%, so I set up a deception trap to let the enemy judge and verify it for himself, and then draw conclusions that he thinks are correct.
If you don't trust your enemies, then trust your own judgments.
It was only at the last moment that it dawned that it was still a trap carefully designed by Shiraishi.
For the first time, Ayane had seen that a battle between so-called ninjas could be fought like this.
If the battle of Ruri is simple and rude, then the battle of Shiraishi is a deceptive battle.
Neither ornate nor beautiful, full of sinister and mean.
I have no doubt about such a person, and I guess there is no way to save it. Ayane felt sorry for herself.
Shiraishi was lying on the ground without an image, and now he really didn't have any strength at all.
"It was a terrible day. Roots, I remember you......"
Whispering these words, Shiraishi closed his eyes tiredly, wanting to rest for a while.
