Chapter 102: Wind and Thunder
Early May.
The breeze blows slowly, and the warm light shines from the sky into the dense forest.
The insect man blocked the sunlight with his hands and squinted his eyes.
Soon, he noticed something strange next to him, a man emerging from the earth, and then his whole body was off the ground, his face was slightly pale and he was panting.
He looked very tired and showed signs of battle.
The worm man looked at him and asked, "What's the matter, are you in trouble?" ”
The other party replied: "Yes, I didn't expect that there was a clever perception ninja in the Kusakain Village, and he almost fell into the siege." ”
He is the native man in the team, and he is good at the earth escape hidden secret art, and ordinary perceptual ninjutsu can't detect his existence, so he has always been a scout in the insect man team.
But this time, he was going to explore the detention location of the remnants of the Uzumaki clan in the Grass Hidden Village, but he was noticed by the perceptual ninjas of the Grass Hidden Village.
This is the first time this has happened.
"Caoyin Village is also a regular ninja village no matter how it is said, and it is not surprising that there are some people with special abilities in it. So, where are the remnants of the Vortex Clan in Caoyin Village, have you found out clearly? ”
It's been almost a month since I learned that some of the remnants of the Uzumaki Clan were being held inside Caoyin Village.
In the past month, they have been secretly sending personnel to make arrangements in the territory of the Grass Country, such as determining the attack and retreat routes, and setting traps along the way, so as to delay the pace of the Grass Ninja in the retreat.
On the other hand, they also sent personnel who were good at infiltrating the field to march into the Caoyin Village to determine the layout of the Caoyin Village, and most importantly, to confirm where the remnants of the Uzumaki Clan were being held.
This is especially important.
"The approximate location was determined. But if I continue to investigate, I feel like I won't be able to come back. ”
It is worthy of the ninja village, and the wandering ninjas they have dealt with before, the level and means are completely different.
The grass hidden village alone is already so difficult to gnaw, enough for them to eat a pot, and the ninja villages of the five major countries show their true strength, and what a terrifying posture it will be, it is really unimaginable.
In the face of military power of this level, ordinary intrigues are useless.
Will be crushed to death from the front by ninja forces.
"In other words, they are indeed imprisoned inside Caoyin Village, right?"
The worm man asked.
"That's right."
"Now that that's settled, things are easy to do. Now the offensive and retreat routes, which have taken nearly a month, have been arranged. As long as the remnants of the Vortex Clan are brought out of the interior of Caoyin Village, it will be done. ”
"If only it were that easy."
Tunan frowned and looked at Caoyin Village in the distance, and could vaguely see the outline of the huge buildings of that village.
"So in terms of grand strategy, we can attack the east and the west this time."
"Striking the West?"
The native man didn't quite understand the worm man's words.
The insect man took out a map of the country of grass from his arms, spread it out on the ground, pointed to a place in the country of grass and said: "This is the location of the village of grass, this is the route of our attack on the village of grass, and there are three retreat routes, traps have already been laid along the way, if they pursue, they can use traps to intercept." And the most critical sound of the operation is to strike at the west...... Over here. ”
The insect man pointed to a spot not far from Caoyin Village, where a castle was faintly marked.
"This is ......"
"Ghost Light City. The village was built on behalf of various countries to house a ninja prison for serious crimes, and on a small island surrounded by the inland sea, it is the location of the Ghost Lantern City. The warden guarding the Ghost Lantern City is the Shangnin of the Grass Hidden Village, and the next step is to feint here, and throw a signal to the Grass Hidden Village that we are going to attack the Ghost Light City, in order to make the repeat ninjas in the Ghost Light City safe, and in order not to be held accountable by various countries, the Grass Hidden Village will definitely send people to support here. ”
"I see, it is indeed a good way to disperse the forces within Caoyin Village. When will it be conducted? ”
"Tomorrow night, it will take some time because of the build-up of attacking men."
◎
The next day, at nine o'clock in the evening.
On the isolated island of the Inland Sea not far from Caoyin Village, the black shadow of the huge fortress can be faintly seen in the mist, and that huge fortress is the prison established by Caoyin Village entrusted by various countries - Ghost Lamp City.
Ninjas from all over the world will be sent here to be detained if they break the rules and commit heinous crimes.
It is said that since the establishment of Ghost Lantern City, there are very few prisoners who can escape from it, and the chief guard of Ghost Lantern City is Kusakain Murakami Shinobi, who will use a ninjutsu called 'Fire Escape Heavenly Prison', and plant it on criminals, so that the criminals inside will never be able to leave Ghost Lantern City until the technique is lifted.
This can be said to be the core department on which Caoyin Village depends, and Caoyin Village can be left and right between countries, and it is inseparable from the establishment of Ghost Lantern City.
Otherwise, with the character of the grass on the wall, it would have been trampled in the war of the five ninja villages.
In this ninja world, no country can resist the ninja power of the five great powers, and will be intimidated by their extremely powerful soldiers.
Therefore, if they attack here, they can successfully attract the attention of the Grass Hidden Village, and they will definitely not allow any losses here in order to satisfy the ninja villages of all countries.
A group of people dressed in black overcoats and relying on boats approached the small island in the inland sea, and the city of ghost lights was close at hand.
The action mode of the guards here, as well as the shift change time, are all made in advance for people to come and step on the point, so it was very smooth to sneak in here along the way.
Open the map, and there is a floor plan of Ghost Lantern City.
"The cells of the criminals are located here, that is, point A, the entrances are B and C, and there are two routes of attack, so don't fight along the way, and try to cause a riot. Arrive at point A, pretend to kill people, carry out indiscriminate attacks, and then retreat from point D, where there are people to answer the shore. ”
"Yes."
"Once you've got your stuff, let's do it."
The leader pulled out a wooden box, which was neatly stacked with a large number of detonating charms.
After assigning the detonators, the eight people automatically split into two groups and converged towards the previously designated locations B and C.
One of the groups of four who arrived at location B pulled out a pocket watch showing the time of 9:30.
"It's time, attack."
Without words, each person took out the prepared kunai, and on top of the kunai, a series of detonation charms, as many as five of them, were tied and projected against the high wall in front of them.
Kunai pierced into the stones of the city wall, and the detonation charm burned, and at that moment, there was a flash of light and a bang on the city wall, and it exploded.
At the same time, another location designated as Site C also heard the sound of explosions.
The next moment, the alarm system inside the Ghost Lantern City was activated, and the guards immediately organized themselves and headed towards the place where the accident occurred.
However, the attackers had already crossed the shattered walls and hurled kunai in all directions.
Each kunui is tied to five detonation charms, and the power of the explosion is so terrifying that if it comes into contact with a person's body, it will immediately be blown to pieces.
Explosions rang out everywhere, and buildings that had collapsed due to the explosions were everywhere, kicking up a raging dust on the road, adding to the chaos in the Ghost Lantern City.
"Extraordinary Situation Alert, Second Degree!"
"Extraordinary Situation Alert, Second Degree!"
"Extraordinary Situation Alert, Second Degree!"
This announcement sounded three times in a row, and the faces of the people who shouted were anxious, and they stared at the exploding building with extremely angry eyes.
At this moment, two kunai shot at a huge and slender building, and the boom exploded, and the building began to collapse from the middle, smashing on the ground, immediately causing the earth to tremble, and several unlucky guards were also crushed underneath.
"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"
The attacker was dressed in a black overcoat, his hands were sealed, and huge fireballs erupted from his spit.
Rushing from the front were more than a dozen guards from Ghost Lantern City, and when they saw the fireball coming, they immediately dispersed, and at the same time fired kunai at the attacker.
In the dust kicked up by the explosion, the sound of metal weapons colliding, ninjutsu and ninjutsu colliding bombing, the chaos continued.
"Stop them, these people are aiming for criminals in the city! Don't let these people get their way! ”
The guards who were shocked out by the detonator were vomiting blood and roaring loudly.
However, no matter how they howled, the attackers would not engage these people, and they would only need to keep creating chaos to contain the small number of men here.
And it's very close to where the criminals are being held.
They also have to be distracted to protect criminals who are unable to resist, which undoubtedly makes the job even more difficult.
Flashes of detonation flashed by, and the buildings continued to wail and collapse in loud noises, and there were screams from others.
The attackers took the people, and the two teams of personnel successfully reached the cell area.
The kunai was connected to the detonator and was projected towards the cells and buildings scattered all over the place.
In an instant, the cell was completely destroyed, and flames were burning everywhere.
Eight people scurried around the cell area like headless flies, trying to find a prisoner for the guards to see.
Make them mistakenly think they're here to rescue a prisoner.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that the time was almost up, and there was no point in continuing to stay, the eight of them retreated, and continued to throw kunai with a detonating charm, like a goddess scattering flowers, bombarding the area indiscriminately, causing a riot.
Without hesitation or hesitation, the eight formed a battle line and used the detonation charm to open the way, making it impossible for the flesh-and-blood guards to approach.
has to fight fires and treat those injured prisoners, with the manpower of Ghost Lantern City, it is already overstretched.
By the time the fire was extinguished, the prisoners were sent to the infirmary for treatment, and then they went after the attackers, the other party had already taken a boat, far away from the island where the Ghost Lantern City was located, and he could only stare at the shore and watch, leaving behind a mess of the Ghost Lantern City.
"Next, we just need to see the reaction from Caoyin Village."
On the ship, one of the attackers who had left the area of Ghost Lantern City said.
This attack on the Ghost Lantern City took no more than ten minutes in total, and the scale of the riot caused and the buildings destroyed were definitely very impressive.
Therefore, there will definitely be a big move on the Caoyin Village side next.
◎
As expected by Worm Man and others, the grass hidden village learned of the news that Ghost Lantern City was attacked and a large number of buildings collapsed, and immediately sent hundreds of ninjas to Ghost Lantern City, because according to speculation, those attackers probably did not find a prisoner they wanted to rescue, and there was a high probability that there would be a second attack.
These hundreds of ninjas are just the first wave, and there are more grass ninjas in the back who are heading towards Ghost Lantern City one after another, enclosing it into a closed iron bucket, making it impossible to start.
"It seems that last night's plan to surprise the Ghost Lantern City was successful, and many grass ninjas went to the Ghost Lantern City in the morning to support."
The worm man looked at the news passed by the people below with satisfaction, and said with a smile.
"The plan was successful, but it cost a lot of money."
Tunan smiled bitterly, after all, the reason why this operation was successful was those detonation charms.
The detonation charm is a high-priced one-time blasting forbearance, and the power of a single detonation charm is not weaker than the power of the general fire escape technique, and the detonation charm that was put into it within ten minutes last night...... That's not fighting at all, it's throwing money.
The buildings inside Ghost Lantern City did suffer heavy losses, but they also suffered a lot of losses.
"It doesn't matter, there is still a lot of discretionary funds left for the organization at the moment. Besides, the money is not enough, isn't there still Lord Liuli? ”
The worm man said.
"That's right."
The native man thought of something and recognized it.
Thinking about it this way, those detonation charms were scattered last night, and it didn't feel very distressed.
One of the elders of the organization is a top rich man in the ninja world, and for that adult, this is just the level of drizzle.
"The bait has been dropped, and the next target is Caoyin Village."
The insect man stood on the cliff, looking at the Caoyin Village in the distance, muttering to himself.
◎
Weekend evenings.
The dim glow of the setting sun shone into the trees.
It was an empty and uninhabited training ground, with only the sound of metal clashing, a fierce battle between daggers and shadow blades.
Compared to the fact that one side is already fighting with all its might, whether it is the strength or speed of the knife, it is maintained at full strength, and the look of seriousness in his eyes is revealed. The other party is just going all out to 'play' with him.
Because this is a battle with a serious asymmetry in strength.
Kakashi held the White Fang Short Knife and looked at Shiraishi in front of him, who had never left the place until the end, with a serious expression, and around him, the pitch-black shadow blade that had turned into a solid entity from the shadows slowly rotated around Shiraishi.
It was a kind of shadow realm that could be called 'absolute defense'.
No matter from which angle or what method is used, it will be blocked without any mistakes, and then bounce back.
Shiraishi clasped his hands in front of his chest and stood there in a relaxed manner, just letting the shadow dancer in the shadow do it, and he formed an absolute suppressive force on Kakashi.
But this is also a matter of course, the speed and strength of the shadow dancer's shadow blade, even if it is a shinobi, a careless person will be strangled to death in an instant.
What's more, who would have thought that such an assassin would exist in his shadow?
Shadow dancers don't need to sleep, as long as the chakra and natural energy are sufficient, they can block a killing move against Shiraishi at any time, and even fight back.
For those who are not familiar with him, each of the traps set by Shiraishi is a lore realm that kills with one hit.
It is also the proud work of Shiraishi.
Now that the Shadow Dancer has practiced the Prototype Immortal Mode, the Shadow Blade's speed and strength, as well as its hardness, are even stronger than before.
The shadow blade that fought with Kakashi at the moment was only a shadow blade that was induced by Chakra.
If you use the Immortal Chakra to trigger the Shadow Blade, it is estimated that the White Fang Short Knife will be shattered in the first place.
But Kakashi was able to do this kind of thing, which already made him very satisfied.
Kakashi is only seven or eight years old now, and he can't be as him as an adult.
Kakashi's golden age of fastest growth is yet to come.
Even so, Shiraishi was confident that he would be able to become a shinobi before the age of twelve.
If he cultivates it well, I'm afraid his future achievements will be above his father, Konoha White Fang.
Kakashi wielded the White Fang Short Knife, the blade slicing through the air, causing the leaves that occasionally fell in front of him to be neatly split in half, and the blade carried an incomparably sharp aura, aiming at Shiraishi to continue the attack.
Not to mention precision, the White Fang Knife technique is the most realistic, and strength and speed are also one of its advantages.
Combined with the miraculous instantaneous technique, it created the prestige of Konoha White Fang.
The simpler the trick, the more terrifying it is to apply.
Kakashi's breathing was steady, his eyes calm.
And this is also the subject that Shiraishi gave him.
At the beginning of Shiraishi's training, he still felt a little nervous, but after becoming familiar with fighting Shiraishi, this nervousness turned into a growing motivation.
The thought in his mind was no longer how long he could hold up on Shiraishi's hands, but how to break through the Shadow Blade Realm and attack Shiraishi himself.
Shiraishi said that even a shinobi who is proficient in physical arts will have a hard time keeping up with the speed and power of the Shadow Blade.
This also means that if his White Fang Short Knife can break through the Shadow Blade Realm, he will have the strength to fight the upper ninja.
These days, the speed and strength of his White Fang Knife Technique have indeed increased a lot.
Under the training of Baishi, his strength is also growing rapidly, constantly breaking through his own limits and reaching a higher realm.
Shadow blades can be long or short, and can be transformed into weapons of any shape, and when attacking, pay attention to the changes of these shadow blades, which is also to train Kakashi's instantaneous judgment in actual combat, as well as his nervous reflexes.
However, for ninjas who are proficient in physical and knife skills, the ability to react nervously must be a basic skill that must be exercised.
According to Shiraishi's knowledge, the ninja with the strongest neural reflexes in the ninja world at present should be the third generation of Thunder Shadow in Yunyin Village.
A ninja with the strongest spear and the strongest shield.
Under the stimulation of the Thunder Chakra pattern, the other party's neural response ability may have reached the inhuman realm.
"That's all for today, Kakashi, you're exhausted now."
After about half an hour, Kakashi's physical strength gradually became unsupportable, and he was panting, his legs trembling slightly, as well as the arm holding the knife.
Obviously, his overall energy has dropped to the point where he is not suitable for further training.
Kakashi didn't force himself, he just sat on the ground and gasped for air.
"Your growth is very good these days, and if you continue at this rate, you will soon be able to proceed to the next stage of White Fang Knife Technique training."
Shiraishi said.
"Still, I can't touch your body."
Kakashi was a little reluctant to himself.
"Don't be anxious about this, a person's body has a limit to what it can endure, and for you, now is the stage of laying the foundation, not the time of thirsting for great power. Only when the foundation is solid will your ceiling be raised. ”
"Is that so?"
Kakashi grabbed the white-fanged dagger in his hand and glanced at it.
"Moreover, your sword skills have temporarily reached the limit that you can accept at your age, and if you continue to break through, there is no need for that, and your body will not be able to support it. Next, to learn is the change in the nature of the chakra. What are your chakra attributes? ”
Shiraishi asked.
"Thunder and earth."
"Dual attributes? And one of them is still the most stabbing nature of Lei Dun, maybe you are more suitable for using knife skills than Teacher Shuomao. ”
Thunder Escape is the fastest type of escape technique, and it is also the most suitable escape technique to match with physical arts.
"Well, don't bother with it for now. Next, I will teach you the skills to master the change of the nature of the thunder attribute chakra, which will work perfectly with your physical skills and sword skills. In this way, there will be no such thing as a bottleneck when you ascend to the path of forbearance. You'll be one step closer to your goal. ”
Speaking of which, Shiraishi glanced at Kakashi.
Kakashi lowered his head and subconsciously clenched the white fang dagger in his hand.
"It's really a step closer to that 'goal'......"
◎
After separating from Kakashi, Shiraishi returned to the land of the Uchiha clan.
Then head in the direction of the underground lab.
Kakashi's cultivation problem, there is nothing to worry about for the time being. The most important thing at the moment is to bring the remnants of the Uzumaki clan imprisoned in Caoyin Village back to the land of ghosts.
"It's been a month, so it's almost time to come out......
Shiraishi muttered to himself as he walked down the stairs.
In the corner of the underground laboratory, there are two large floor-to-ceiling glass cylindrical installations, which are the cultivation instruments used to cultivate their own 'clones'.
The doppelgangers created this time are two.
Due to the cumbersome process of filling the immortal system, and it also requires their own physical strength, they can control the powerful immortal arts. Therefore, the creation time of this doppelganger is far longer than the creation cycle of the earth general and the shadow dancer.
Although now the Earth General and the Shadow Dancer have also refilled the immortal system and made another breakthrough in performance, in terms of the nascent form, the two newly born clones this time are undoubtedly better in performance.
"It's a pity that I don't know the Yin and Yang Escape of the legendary creation of all things, otherwise, it should be completed faster......"
Although when creating the clone, Chakra, which has the attribute of yin and yang, was added, and Yin and Yang were used respectively, but Shiraishi understood that this was not the application of Yin and Yang Dun.
Because Yin Dun and Yang Dun are separate individuals, Yin and Yang Dun are a complete collective term that can create things invisibly and give life force and soul.
It is precisely because he can't achieve the level of creating all things like Yin and Yang that Baishi uses some cleverness to make up for the incompleteness.
Use natural energy as life energy, and your own soul fragments as the soul of the doppelganger.
The work of Yin and Yang is mainly shaped with the help of materials, forming vessels that can hold the energy of nature and the fragments of one's own soul.
However, Shiraishi has not heard of anyone in the current ninja world who can use Yin Yang Escape, and it is likely that it has long been lost.
This kind of secret technique, Shiraishi still saw a few words from the classics of the Uchiha clan.
Not to retreat to yin and yang for the time being, Shiraishi came to the two cultivation devices and looked at the clone creation inside through the glass.
Entities began to bulge in his shadow, as if he sensed something, something terrible about to burst out of his shell.
When he was about to form a physical shadow blade, Shiraishi bowed his head and said to the shadow dancer in the shadow, "Don't worry, this is your sister and brother. ”
When the shadow dancer in the shadow heard this, he stopped, dragging the shadow blade generated by the entity back into the shadow, silently.
Shiraishi was relieved to see the shadow dancer quiet.
Turning his head to look back at the cultivation device, the two clones with actual forms inside had already opened their eyes.
One of the doppelgangers feels like a cold machine, running according to a set program.
Invisible fluctuations spread out from the inorganic eyes, and a breeze rolled up in the laboratory, blowing the pages of the test bench next to them.
Bang.
Two glass devices burst at the same time.
The solution filled with natural energy splattered everywhere, and the ground was wet.
Shiraishi had already taken a few steps back the moment the glass device exploded to avoid being splashed by the solution.
He looked ahead.
Two figures leap out of the shattered cultivation device.
One of the figures stood upright on the wet ground, but if you looked closely, her feet were not in contact with the ground, but had a suspension interval with the ground, and the whole person was actually floating.
Her long jet-black hair poured down, and the strands were silky and delicate.
On the slender and perfectly proportioned body, she wears a traditional shrine maiden costume with white on the top and red on the bottom.
The hands exposed outside the white cuffs are as white as jade, and they hang down naturally.
She is about sixteen years old, and she looks older than the shadow dancer.
In her eyes, layers of circles-like shapes spread outward.
This is an inorganic pupil that combines the outer layer of turquoise and the inner layer of deep purple, and has a breathtaking power.
How to put it, although it is breathing, it gives the overall impression of a cold corpse without life, or a machine without emotion.
On her slender shoulders, dressed in snow-white clothes, quietly stood a four-legged young beast that looked like a cat but not a cat, like a beast but not a beast.
This four-legged cub has a pitch-black body, a spiral horn on its head, and blue eyes that flash blue electricity on its pitch-black skin, making it impossible to ignore its presence.
It crouched quietly on the shoulder of the shrine maiden, forming a complete entity with the shrine maiden.
Shiraishi first glanced at the four-legged young beast on the shrine maiden's shoulder, and then his gaze fell on the maiden, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Welcome to your birth, Thunder Pill, and ...... Heavenly Feather Girl. I'm sorry, but now there's a mission, and I hope you two will have a hard run. ”
