Naruto: I, Shikotsumyaku, Byakugan Princess

Chapter 113 Fighting for One's Life (4k)

The wind howled, and hair fluttered wildly.

Fuka Sawada lay on the bird's back, her hands gripping the elephant bird's gray feathers tightly, squinting one eye as she looked through the binoculars.

The east has been quiet for a long time; the battle may have ended.

However, the situation suddenly changed for the besieged group, including Zhu Ri Hui Li.

The battlefield below is besieged by wild beasts.

Countless animal carcasses piled up, leaving a glaring crimson stain in the lush green forest.

The trio, who had just allowed their companions to be surrounded and attacked, all stood up from the ground.

Her telescope wasn't powerful enough.

Although she couldn't figure out exactly what they were doing, the blue light constantly emanating from the palm of the strongest Sun Chaser Gray Glass still set off alarm bells in her mind.

That monster probably doesn't have any ninjutsu that can attack me!
A startling guess suddenly popped into Sawada Fuka's mind.

impossible!
Dispel the thoughts in your mind.

Those who can hit targets three to five hundred meters away are already among the best in long-range ninjutsu. To prevent being attacked, she specially made the elephant bird fly to a height of nearly a thousand meters.

Very few people in the ninja world possess the ability to fly.

Therefore, ninjutsu specifically designed to target flying enemies is also rare.

Ninety-nine percent of ninjas actually lack the ability to attack from above. It's fair to say that even the Fourth Raikage, facing such a terrifying height difference, would probably only be able to stare helplessly.

How could things be so coincidental, with only a one percent chance of her encountering it?
Obviously unlikely.

Finally, if Hui Li really possessed ninjutsu capable of striking objects thousands of meters into the air, she would have already made her move; there's no way she would have just sat there idly for so long.

It's impossible that he didn't know it just now and then sat there and created a long-range ninjutsu!

Fuka Sawada pursed her lips.

Before Konoha's reinforcements arrived, the battle in the east had already been decided, which improved her mood considerably.

She held back both the Nine-Tails and the Byakugan, and the elite Jonin from Kumogakure were about to arrive.

The plan is mostly complete, so we can't afford any mishaps at this crucial moment.

Keep a steady hand.

"Fly higher!"

The elephant bird received the instruction.

Its wings flapped rapidly, propelling it towards the higher reaches of the sky.

Sawada Fuka's unusual movements in the air were also detected by Hairi.

"The other side flew even higher."

"It's useless." *2
Ino used her index fingers and thumbs to frame the giant bird completely.

Shikamaru stared at his reflection on the ground, waiting quietly.

The mental techniques of Yamanaka and Nara are mechanic-based ninjutsu; once the conditions are met, the user will inevitably be affected, regardless of distance.

The only thing to worry about is whether Hui Li's newly learned so-called secret technique can still maintain its power to shoot down the giant bird in the sky after crossing hundreds of meters in the air.

Whoosh!

As the giant bird flew higher and higher, it grew to be no different in size from a sparrow.

The long-awaited, thin reflection finally fell upon the tangled web of shadows on the ground.

Shikamaru's eyes lit up.

"Ino!"

"Yes!"

Ino focused her mind, her hand seals firmly locking onto the enemy. She was just waiting for Shikamaru's ninjutsu to take effect before unleashing all her spiritual power to possess the enemy's body.

The net captured the bird's shadow, and the two dark figures merged completely.

Shikamaru clasped his hands together.

"The shadow imitation technique was a success!"

The elephant bird, oblivious to its master's command, flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

Sudden.

The once agile wings suddenly encountered resistance, and then the wings uncontrollably closed in front of the body.

Boo!
The cry of the elephant bird startled Sawada Fuka, who was perched on its back. Before she could react, the safety rope tied to her body pulled her down with it.

Watching the giant bird with its wings folded together fall from the sky.

Ino's handprint slid down steadily towards the enemy's body.

"I'm about to lose control!"

Shikamaru trembled all over, cold sweat beading on his forehead. The intense depletion of his chakra caused even the dark shadow beneath his feet to thin.

Ino didn't respond.

His blue eyes had dimmed.

Unbeknownst to her, her mind-turning technique had already been activated!

thump!
Choji, who was standing behind Ino, quickly helped her up and dragged her, limping, to lie down next to Naruto.

To buy everyone time to use their ninjutsu, Naruto used Shadow Clone Jutsu for the sixth time to protect them from wild beasts, at the cost of being temporarily unable to move while lying on the ground.

"Um……"

Shikamaru could no longer hold on, his hands were forced apart, and he knelt on the ground, looking up at the giant bird that kept falling from the sky.

Whoosh!

The wind howled, filling my nostrils and causing a terrifying feeling of suffocation.

Fuka Sawada grabbed the elephant bird by the skin on its neck and let it fall freely through the air.

"What exactly... happened...?"

As airflow filled her mouth, Fuka Sawada's voice became shrill and distorted with fear.

He ignored the enemy on his back.

Ino familiarized herself with the giant bird's physical condition, spread her wings, and began to fly again.

This time, however, it didn't soar into the sky.

Instead, it swooped down!

Rumble!
The howling wind had drowned out the enemy's curses.

The wings swept swiftly across the sky.

Ino, carrying the enemy on her back, crashed to the ground like a cannonball.

"One thousand five... one thousand two..."

While locking onto the giant bird Gray Glass with his Byakugan, he counted the enemy's height and concentrated nearly a third of his chakra into his palm.

Buzz!

The restless wind-style chakra had been compressed to its limit, emitting a terrifying sound like a hurricane.

Gritting her teeth, she forcibly locked the chakra in her palm with her eye power. If she were to accidentally lose control and let the bomb explode, the wounded and disabled soldiers around her would probably be wiped out.

Shikamaru and the others stared at the sky with their mouths agape.

The giant bird's silhouette drew closer and closer to the ground, but it became increasingly blurry.

Time goes by.

The last glimmer of light on the horizon finally disappeared at this moment.

In the dim sky, the giant bird's figure had disappeared, and only a black shadow falling rapidly could be seen.

Ino looked at the increasingly bright blue light below, her chakra, already nearing its limit, suppressed the giant bird's consciousness, and accelerated its dive towards the only source of light below.

Boo!
The giant bird controlled by Ino let out a scream.

Sawada Fuka pulled out two swords from her boots and plunged them deep into Elephant Bird's flesh! The pain aroused Elephant Bird's consciousness, and it began to fight Ino for control of its body again.

The two consciousnesses continued their attack.

The giant bird could no longer maintain its normal body shape, and its straight flight path suddenly became irregular.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Hui Li's forehead as he controlled the chakra in his hands, calculating the enemy's flight altitude:

"Seven hundred...five hundred..."

Just then, Ino's chakra finally gave way to the Mind Transfer Technique, and she lost control of the giant bird's body.

Once the elephant bird regained control of its body, it didn't care about anything else. Startled, it violently flapped its wings and tilted its head back, trying to return to the safety of the sky.

But it's too late!
"The Mind Transfer Technique has been deactivated!" Shikamaru reminded Ino, who was frowning on the ground as if she was about to wake up.

Upon seeing this, Gray Glass no longer hesitated.

With his wrists connected and his five fingers joined together to form a claw, the wind-style attack emanating from his palm was already aimed at the sky!

hum!
A blinding blue light instantly illuminated the heart of the forest. The vacuum cannon, which had been charging for a long time, suddenly exploded.

The air was separated by a terrifying wind escape, leaving a blue track in the sky.

"Take off immediately!!"

Seeing the blinding light of ninjutsu below, Sawada Fuka's voice trembled with fear. The elephant bird fled frantically, but how could its flight speed possibly outpace wind release?

hum! ! !
The blue light grew stronger, like a laser beam, and the giant bird's panicked escape was completely swallowed up.

There were no screams, no struggles.

When the condensed vacuum cannon hits a mortal body, there is not even the slightest resistance.

The giant bird, with a wingspan of nearly twenty meters, along with Sawada Fuka, was blasted into pieces by the terrifying wind cannon. Finally, the blue light stretched far into the dim sky before completely losing its luster.

buzzing.

The sound of the vacuum cannon gradually decreased as chakra was consumed, until finally the blue light disappeared completely.

call!
Having exhausted a third of his chakra in one breath, Hui Li had to take several deep breaths to relieve his fatigue.

As he watched the feathers and chunks of flesh raining down from the sky, Gray Glass smiled with satisfaction.

Man and beast, killed in a single shot!

perfect!

"Amazing!!!" Naruto jumped up exaggeratedly, his eyes shining as he imitated the air cannon that Hai Li had just fired.

Clearly, they were amazed by Hui Li's move.

Shikamaru and Choji are equally impressive.

The exaggerated blue light, so intense it seemed to pierce the moon, once again redefined their understanding of gray glass.

Is it possible that this level of ninjutsu can be mastered in just a few minutes?
Is this right?
Shikamaru's brilliant mind couldn't quite accept it.

It felt as if many laws that apply to humans had no effect whatsoever on the girl in front of him.

What a monster!

Gray Glass, who fired a stunning shot, was only slightly out of breath.

Naruto, who had just been lying dead, suddenly recovered as if nothing had happened after creating hundreds of shadow clones.

Shikamaru suddenly understood why the two of them could become friends.

"Uh-huh!"

Ino squinted and struggled to get up from the ground. Her consciousness had already returned, but she could only lie motionless because she had lost a lot of chakra.

Only then did he finally regain some strength.

"Ino, your back!"

Choji watched Ino wake up, only to find that his friend's clothes were covered in crimson on the back, and his voice sounded somewhat flustered.

Hui Li and the others quickly looked over as well.

"I was stabbed twice by an enemy riding on a bird, but it's nothing," Ino waved her hand dismissively, though her wide grin betrayed that her wounds were probably not in good pain.

If she is injured while possessed by the Mind Transfer Technique, the injury will also return to her original body.

Fortunately, she had already dispelled the spell. If Hui Li's cannon had hit her, she probably would have become part of the countless fragments.

Crack!

Flesh and blood fell from the sky.

The beasts that were attacking Hui Li and the others suddenly quieted down, and then chased after the blood that was being scattered and licked it.

With her white eyes, Hui Li could see that these beasts weren't actually eating meat, but rather the powder that fell to the ground along with the flesh after being shattered by her vacuum cannon.

"The enemy has been dealt with, and the beasts have been distracted. It seems we can leave now!" Shikamaru looked at the beasts surrounding them, which seemed to have suddenly lost their desire to attack, and couldn't help but smile with delight.

Leaving aside the two monsters, Naruto and Kaito.

Ino and Choji were injured, and Choji had almost exhausted his chakra in order to control the giant bird with his shadow. Nearly half of this hastily assembled squad had lost their ability to fight.

Now everything is finally over, and the beasts have stopped attacking for some inexplicable reason. They can finally leave this dangerous place.

Everyone agreed with this.

The strongest, Hai Li, led the charge, followed by Naruto supporting Choji, and Shikamaru carrying Ino, who had an injury on her back.

The five-person team was about to leave.

hoo hoo...

Suddenly, a beast's roar came from the east.

Then a dazzling bolt of lightning sliced ​​through the beast horde, shooting towards Hui Li and the others like a sharp sword. The blinding blue chakra was particularly striking in the pitch-black night.

"Has the teacher arrived?"

A hint of joy appeared on Ino's pale face.

They are in a very bad state right now, and it would be great if they could get help from the school teachers.

"wrong!"

Hui Li's expression changed, and she was the first to notice the problem.

The lightning bolt was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already cut a hole in the surging horde of beasts. The Chunin teachers at the Ninja Academy didn't have such a powerful lightning release.

The power of the white eye radiated forward.

The powerful physique crackling with lightning and the immense chakra of an elite Jonin clearly indicated the other party's identity.

"It's from Kumogakure..."

Before Hui Li could finish speaking, she saw a tall figure crackling with lightning, already a hundred meters away, hurtling towards her like a cannonball.

The speed was so fast that even Bai Yan, with his exceptional insight, became somewhat blurry.

sizzle...

"die!"

A roar erupted from the terrifying lightning that instantly brought the man to face-to-face, as the towering man threw a punch at Hui Li, seemingly intent on killing him outright.

The extreme speed of lightning release is impossible to dodge.

She only had time to protect her head with her hands before she was struck hard by a terrifying punch!
boom!
The immense impact from the enemy's fist made her feel as if she had been hit by a giant truck, and her arms felt as if they were broken.

Then the scene before my eyes quickly receded into the distance.

He was sent flying more than 20 meters away in an instant, and the impact had not yet dissipated.

Zizi!

Lei Guang had no intention of giving up and chased after the floating Gray Glass.

"Righteous thunder axe!"

A deep voice, filled with anger and killing intent, was followed by the raising of his right leg, which was enveloped in chakra, and his slamming down on the flying Gray Glass!
Hui Li's eyes widened.

With nowhere to gain leverage in mid-air, she had no way to dodge this terrifying kick.

boom!
The terrifying downward kick slammed into the ground, erupting in dust and smoke.

Shikamaru and the others were stunned by what they saw. The entire battle was too fast, and they hadn't had time to react. It seemed that their strongest member, Kairi, had already been killed by the enemy.

"Grey Glass!"

Seeing that Hairi was seriously injured, Naruto released Choji and rushed towards the injured area.

"do not go!"

Choji and the others held onto Naruto tightly and pulled him back.

"What are you doing? Hui Li is in danger!"

"Calm down, Naruto. This level of battle is beyond our capabilities. Our priority right now is to avoid causing trouble for Hairi and to find reinforcements as soon as possible."

Shikamaru's rational analysis brought Naruto, whose eyes were red, back to his senses.

"Trust Hairi and find reinforcements quickly," Ino and Choji joined in the persuasion effort.

At this moment, the smoke and dust in the distance dissipated.

A deep pit in the ground.

The towering figure, as tall as an iron tower, planted its left foot on the ground, while its falling right foot was firmly held in place by an arm covered in red chakra. Gray's lower body sank into the giant pit, and fiery red chakra covered the arm.

Zizi!

Blue and red intertwined.

Lightning Release chakra rubbed and collided violently with the Tailed Beast Cloak.

"She's fine."

"The enemy has opened a passage for us. Quickly go and find reinforcements for Hui Li!"

Seeing this, the others breathed a sigh of relief, and Shikamaru quickly fired a distress flare into the air. Naruto also saw that Kairi was alright, and decided to trust Shikamaru's judgment, helping Choji and the others to leave quickly.
