Chapter 40: Takata Hiraoka IX
"Wow!"
A mouthful of blood spit out, Baicha felt that his chest tightness and shortness of breath were much better, so he wiped the corners of his mouth and looked up in the direction of the battle.
At this time, it was Tomohiko who was fighting with Ryuta Hiraoka head-on, and Konan was harassing him on the side.
Seeing that it was very difficult for Peng Yan to fight between the left and the right branches, Baichao did not dare to slack off, so he quickly stood up, tightened the ninja knife in his hand, and joined the battle.
After fighting again, Baicha found that the situation was much better than he thought. Although Ryuta Hiraoka's speed and strength are much higher than at the beginning, as long as you deal with it carefully and don't rush to greed, it's not completely irresistible.
It can be seen that the reason why Baicha was settled by Taka Hiraoka in one picture just now is naturally the gap in strength between the two sides, but more because he is not adaptable. Only then was Ratao Ryuta found a flaw and killed it in one move.
But now, it is the situation of the main attack of Baicha, the assistance of Peng Yan, and the harassment of Xiao Nan on the side, and the three of them jointly fight against Hiraoka Ryuta. Although Ryuta Hiraoka is strong, he is naturally not very comfortable, but he is just annoyed that he didn't solve the other party first.
For a while, the situation seemed to be developing in favor of the three of them.
However, Peng Yan was not so optimistic in his heart. He clearly knew that the current situation was nothing more than a dangerous balance, a balance based on the tacit understanding between the three of them and the chakra of Ryuta Hiraoka. Regardless of the slightest mistake on either side, the current confrontation will be immediately broken.
At that time, it was not Hiraoka Ryuta's chakra energy that was not enough to follow, and because he couldn't maintain his current state, he was killed by the three of himself. It's that there was a problem with the tacit understanding of the three of them, and they were annihilated one by one by Hiraoka Ryuta who found a flaw.
Although the three of them have known each other for a long time, the degree of tacit understanding is extraordinary, but after all, the team has been established for too short a time, and has not undergone rigorous training in this area, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems if you only rely on instinct to fight tacitly.
On the other hand, the total amount of chakras that Ryuta Hiraoka had and how many chakras it would take to maintain the current state of affairs were all important information. How can he be optimistic about the current situation?
So, after thinking about it, Peng Yan decided to break the balance in front of him.
After silently reciting in his heart what Shikamaru taught him, Chakra's special way of working, Peng Yan began to pray in his heart: There is only one chance, Shikamaru senior, don't pit me!
Thinking about it, in the gap between the battle, Peng Yan suddenly made a gesture to Xiao Nan. This gesture is meant to have her attack using illusions.
Seeing Peng Yan's gesture, Xiao Nan was stunned.
In fact, when he was ambushed outside the courtyard just now, Xiao Nan used to think about casting illusions on Ryuta Hiraoka, so as to interfere with his actions and fight for Baicha to gain a head start. However, Tomohiko stopped her from doing so, on the grounds that depending on the effect of the illusion on the samurai in the first place, it was very likely that Ryuta Hiraoka and others had the ability to resist the illusion.
As the leader, Ryuta Hiraoka may be more resistant to illusions, and may even be immune to these low-level illusions. Therefore, in the case of a limited amount of chakra, casting illusion on Ryuta Hiraoka is a very cost-effective behavior. Tomohiko suggested that Konan leave the illusion to someone other than Ryuta Hiraoka, and it turns out that this does work wonders.
And after the previous battle, Xiao Nan didn't have much chakra left, and now he was barely able to cast an illusion. If the illusion is cast on Ryuta Hiraoka, then the illusion can work, but if the illusion fails, then Xiaonan, who can't even use the stand-in technique, will be in great danger.
Putting yourself in a desperate situation is a ninja's taboo.
Although he was puzzled by Peng Yan's command, he thought that this was the first mission of the three of them, and he must not fail; thinking of Peng Yan's usual command of the battle; and thinking of the other party's firm eyes when he just gestured, Xiao Nan gritted his teeth, put down the doubts in his heart, and squeezed his last chakra.
"Narakumi's technique!"
With Xiao Nan's soft click, an invisible wave emanated from her body, flying straight towards Ryuta Hiraoka.
If any of the people present had white eyes, then it could be found that when the fluctuation touched Ryuta Hiraoka's body, the chakra in Ryuta Hiraoka's body moved suddenly, and then began to gather in large numbers towards his head, as if to block the fluctuation from affecting Ryuta Hiraoka.
"Hmph, illusion?" Hiraoka Ryuta spoke, but his hand was not slow, and the horizontal knife blocked the slash from Baicha, "Do you think I'm the same as those miscellaneous fish, and I will catch your way!?"
With a roar, Ryuta Hiraoka used his arms to push Baicha far away, followed by mobilizing the chakra in his body, determined to open a breakthrough in Konan.
However, before Ryuta Hiraoka's chakra could finish running in a specific route, he suddenly felt a restraining force from his body.
That power came from nowhere, but it seemed to act directly on Ryuta Hiraoka's muscles, making Ryuta Hiraoka's whole person feel like he had hit an iron plate, and he was directly fixed there.
As a last resort, Ryuta Hiraoka had to give up the idea of activating the Chakra Light Blade and fight against that force with all his might.
What relieved Ryuta Hiraoka was that although the timing of the appearance of this restraint was very fatal, its power was not very strong, and in the case of running the chakra at full strength, it could only hinder himself for about a second, and it should not affect the overall situation.
Compared with Rataka's ease, Tomohiko's heart is tight. The power of that restraint was the "Shadow Bondage Technique" that he Shikamaru had given him.
Peng Yan originally thought that when he used Xiao Nan's illusion as a bait to deceive Ryuta Hiraoka so that he could not notice it at the first time, the "shadow imitation technique" he cast would have a great effect. But he didn't want to, he could only bind Ryuta Hiraoka for a second.
At this time, Peng Yan, who was the caster, couldn't make any moves, Xiao Nan had just exhausted the chakra and was also in a weak period, and the only Baicha who could threaten Ryuta Hiraoka was pushed far away by Ryuta Hiraoka just now, and he was more than five meters away from him.
Could it be that all three of them will die here today?
Before he had time to think about it, Peng Yan shouted, "Baicha!"
It was too late, it was fast, and before Peng Yan's words fell, he saw a blue light flash on Baicha's body.
Immediately after, Peng Yan only felt a flower in front of him.
The next moment, Baisha had already appeared in front of Ryuta Hiraoka.
And Ryuta Hiraoka was pierced by the bad ninja knife.
