The days of being a puppeteer in Konoha

Chapter 257 Black Ball
About two hours later.

The well-equipped Iwagakure ninja troops set out from their base, escorting a large amount of supplies towards the front line.

Since the road at the beginning was not very wide and there was a lot of supplies to be transported, the convoy was stretched into a long line.

However, there were enough Iwagakure ninjas, and there was a ninja guarding every few meters around the convoy, which did not give the enemy much opportunity to take advantage.

On the way, an Iwagakure ninja who was guarding supplies on the rear flank suddenly held his stomach and smiled apologetically to his companions on both sides:

"Oh no, my stomach hurts a little, I have to go to the bathroom."

"Why is it always like this every time you go on a mission? Can't you solve it before you set out?"

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't feel like going to the bathroom just now."

"Forget it, go and come back quickly. If you are discovered by Captain Huangtu, I won't take care of you."

"I understand."

After watching their unreliable teammates leave in a hurry, the remaining two ninjas looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

After that, they walked for a while and found that the teammate still hadn't returned.

But the two didn't care too much and started guessing whether it was too much inventory or constipation.

Suddenly one of them asked, "Hey, did you hear anything?"

The other person was about to listen carefully when a rumbling sound came from the hillside beside the convoy.

Even the ground nearby began to shake violently.

The two of them quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge black ball spinning at high speed and rushing down the hillside.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

As they had no time to cast hand seals, they and their teammates nearby who had also sensed the enemy threw out various ninja tools at the same time.

Unexpectedly, those ninja tools that were shot out were quickly bounced away the moment they touched the black ball, and could not hurt it at all.

The two ninjas were only at the level of Chunin. Seeing the black ball rushing in front of them, they did not dare to confront it head-on and had to dodge.

Then the black ball suddenly rushed into the caravan, smashing a carriage full of supplies into pieces and scattering food all over the ground.

But this was not the end. He suddenly fell to one side and instantly changed from rolling like a tire to spinning like a top.

Immediately afterwards, countless thousand-like spikes shot out from the black ball along with the force of rotation, attacking the surroundings like raindrops in a storm!
Tsk tsk tsk tsk!
"This is……"

"Get cover!"

"Be careful, these thousand books are poisonous..."

Soon the violent storm suddenly stopped.

The dozen or so ninjas around were hit by the poison stingers. Some had died from the poison, while others were lying on the ground groaning.

Only a few ninjas used earth escape techniques or carriages to block this vicious attack.

Their teeth were almost broken as they looked at the miserable state of their companions, all of them were ready to make the black ball pay the price with murderous intent.

However, the black ball did not want to fight, and adjusted its shape again to turn back into a tire. It broke through the gap where the guards were killed and immediately dived into the dense forest.

"Everyone, don't chase them, regroup first!"

A senior ninja quickly reminded.

However, there were still three young ninjas who, probably because their close companions had died, rushed into the forest regardless of anything, wanting to avenge them.

However, several screams were heard from the forest afterwards, and they never came out of it again.

At this moment, the ninja who had gone to relieve himself came back with a refreshed look on his face. He was stunned by the horrific scene in front of him.

From the time the black ball appeared to the time it disappeared, it actually took less than ten seconds in total.

That's why many ninjas came here at this time.

The leader, Huang Tu, was a tall, capable-looking man with a big nose. He was leaning over to observe the condition of the corpse.

"Let the medical team come and rescue them. Does anyone know the specific situation here?"

The senior ninja rushed forward and reported: "It was a huge black ball that attacked us. It looked very much like the flesh bomb tank of the Konoha Akimichi clan..."

Before he could finish, exclamations and screams were heard from the front of the convoy.

Huang Tu frowned and rushed forward again.

As the son of the Tsuchikage Ōnoki, Huangdi is recognized in the village as the strongest person besides the Tsuchikage and the Jinchūriki, and he is a master of earth escape techniques.

However, he also has a weakness, which is his average speed.

So when he arrived at the source of the screams, he could only see a scene that looked like a car accident.

There were a few ninjas who were faster than him and were chasing him into a dense forest without hesitation.

Huang Tu looked carefully and found a few cold rays flashing in the forest, and then there was no sound.

In addition to the black ball, does the opponent have any other hands?

But this is of course.

Huang Tu sighed in his heart.

In recent years, his father, the Tsuchikage, has been obsessed with the use of human wave tactics, trying to defeat other villages by relying on numerical advantage by training more ninjas.

However, this also resulted in many ninjas in the team being insufficiently trained, and they would become flustered when faced with unexpected situations.

Otherwise, as long as we hold on and wait for help, we will be able to delay until they arrive!

But they were able to find the weakest point in the convoy’s defense twice in a row. Could there be an enemy spy in the team?
Huang Tu looked around with a deep gaze, feeling that everyone was suspicious...

However, he did not realize that there was a drone right above his head, silently recording the situation below.

"Captain Ding, the rear of the enemy convoy is relatively empty right now. You should take a detour and rush to the vicinity to wait for orders."

"I'll give you further instructions later."

In the dense forest next to the convoy, Hideki's voice came from a strange machine in Ding Zuo's ears.

"receive."

Ding Zuo said happily, then looked down at the strange black clothes on his body and laughed,

"By the way, Hideki, your hedgehog combat suit is really nice."

"I didn't expect that the combination with the Human Bomb Tank would have such a strong effect. It is much more powerful than the Human Bomb Needle Tank."

"Can you sell me one later... No, I think my people will be very interested in this thing."

"As long as you like it..."

Hideki's voice sounded again.

"Actually, this combat suit isn't completely finished yet, so let's talk about buying it later."

"But it shouldn't be a problem to make similar combat uniforms for you."

What Ding Zuo was wearing at this time was actually a special combat suit made by Hideki.

It is mainly based on the demon bear rat that the rat turned into. It can cover the short needles as thin as hair on the highly stretchable tights.

These short needles were taken from the C-level chakra plant - Senbonpine - that Hideki discovered in the Konoha Great Forest.

Its biggest feature is that pine needles are usually soft, but once chakra is injected into them, they become hard and sharp like a thousand needles.

So even if you wear this clothes it will not affect your movements, but once chakra is infused into them these short spines will stand up like a hedgehog.

Next, you just need to trigger the mechanism hidden in the tights, and you can select some pine needles to shoot out in various ways.

Although its power is average, it is difficult to avoid and its lethality can be increased by poisoning.

Especially when Hideki suddenly had an idea and asked Ding Zuo to use the rotation force of the Meat Bomb Chariot to shoot out a large number of them, the move was extremely powerful.

Hideki would like to call it - pointy bump fist!
