Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Not only is his knife skill extremely powerful, but he has also mastered superb voice imitation ability and the technique of silent assassination.

They are not to be underestimated.

This kid seems to be a genius of Konoha; no wonder the legendary Kakashi personally led the team.

Kiyota Ishi sorted out the information.

"Kid, we asked you to help capture Xiong Yi, but now you've killed my men. That's not quite right, is it?"

"Heh, that guy is clearly a Jonin, while you're reporting a B-rank mission. Based on that alone, we can abandon the mission."

Chiba said calmly.

The extreme state cannot be used casually; the fatigue it brings is real. But fortunately, the recovery speed is fast, so he is very happy if the other party is willing to talk some nonsense.

However, the other party was not just chatting. While he was talking, three samurai had already quietly ambushed him near three trees not far away.

In a life-or-death battle, no one will be careless.

Chiba concentrated his mental energy to the extreme, formed hand seals, and extracted chakra from his hands.

Kiyota Ishi, gripping his knife, charged toward where Kiyota was hiding.

"This kid is fast, and watch out for his swordsmanship."

At this moment, Chiba had finished forming the hand seals.

Around him, strands of chakra quietly coiled like a spider web.

After setting it up, he maintained the chakra threads with one hand while putting a specially made soldier's ration into his mouth.

Then, he quietly peeked out to observe the direction of the Kiyota Stone.

next moment--

Whoosh!

Three faint voices rang out almost simultaneously, and then they attacked from the shadows towards where Chiba was hiding.

Hearing the commotion, she noticed one of the men swinging his sword from the left, his face seemingly filled with astonishment.

"die!"

The samurai shouted.

Then, he felt a sharp pain, and his eyes widened...

This guy has set a trap!

Pain surged through his entire body; he could feel his muscles, ligaments, and blood vessels being cut by these invisible threads, and the pain and suffocation intensified.

He gritted his teeth and continued to slash with the knife.

however.

The other party simply delivered a single, seemingly insignificant strike—

A figure fell from the tree.

The other two jumped into the air and were completely stunned by what they saw.

What kind of technique is that?

Upon closer inspection, the dense, intricate threads resembled a spider web, covering Chiba's entire body, while he himself seemed like a spider waiting for its prey to enter the web.

I wanted to run, but it was too late.

They could only try to avoid the vital areas, but...

In a life-or-death battle, any injury is fatal, especially when the opponent's blade is extremely fast.

A knife.

Two more figures landed.

"In ninja battles, intelligence is extremely important."

Chiba gained a new understanding of this statement.

These three people weren't particularly strong, but they were definitely at the Chunin level. However, by setting up a trap and taking advantage of their unpreparedness, he managed to kill them almost without taking any damage.

This is a technique that Chiba came up with over the past two months, requiring extremely strong chakra control skills.

Because only he could use it, he didn't teach it to anyone else.

"The Spider Web Technique is effective, but it consumes a lot of chakra and requires extremely high chakra control. It is not currently of widespread use. Hmm, we can consider modifying it into a barrier technique."

Chiba summarized in his mind.

Then, he quickly fled to the side.

Although he had killed three samurai, he did not believe he could continue to easily kill Kiyota Ishi and his men.

The fact that these people dared to ambush Kakashi means there must be some skilled fighters among them.

I was just calculating intentionally, not intentionally.

Chapter 49 Intelligence Advantage, Single-handedly Killing a Jonin!

"Lord Kakashi, I'm here to help you!"

Kiyota Shin caught up and shouted.

Then, he swung his sword at Yuichi. Kakashi and Yuichi continued their fierce sword fight. Hearing the voice behind them, they attacked even faster, as if they really believed it.

But the next moment, Kiyota Shin swung his sword horizontally and slashed at Kakashi like lightning.

but.

wow~

His sword sliced ​​through Kakashi's shoulder, making a splashing sound.

This is?

Kiyota Shin was taken aback.

Water clone?

How can it be!

Kiyota Stone quickly approached, a glint of greed and ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

"No secret technique can last forever, brat. If you reveal the secret technique, I'll spare your life."

"Lord Shi, this brat..."

He planned to hunt down Chiba, but Chiba also wanted to kill him.

Chiba sensed the change in Kiyota's speed through his perception.

what's the situation?

"Kakashi has gone to support your other teammates."

His scalp tingled, and he immediately decided to run away.

Even if the other person is Kakashi, he doesn't believe anyone can form hand seals that quickly, so there's only one possibility left...

"As expected, there's no way a brat like you could maintain this speed forever. You must have used some kind of secret technique."

Chiba quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

A slanted knife wound ran from Kiyota Shin's forehead down to his chest and abdomen, from which blood gushed out.

Xiong Yi shouted sternly.

This……

Chiba didn't answer, only gave a cold laugh, and continued to flee for his life.

really!

The other party did not see him as a threat, but rather believed that they were the real predators, which strengthened their resolve to observe and take advantage of the situation.

Then, a swift, lightning-fast strike.

and.

Kiyota said this, but his chakra was secretly accumulating.

"Chase him! He must have heard us talking; we have to silence him."

However, they did not make a move, but instead continued to lie in wait after advancing for a while.

Yuichi sheathed his sword and collapsed to the ground.

"Ah."

really.

Tenten and Kazusa were stunned.

How could a water clone that only possesses a portion of the original's abilities fight Yuichi for so long?

Did Kakashi use Water Clone during those brief hand seals?

impossible.

After several days of fighting, and just now having acted out a scene with Kakashi, he is at his last gasp.

At the same time, four other people quietly approached and entered Chiba's perception range.

His sword was incredibly fast and powerful. Even when Chiba used his limit to defend himself, he still couldn't stop the attack, and the sword flew out of his hand.

when!

"Kiyota Nobu, you traitors! I will go before Lord Mifune and expose your crimes!"

He maintained 70% of his overlimit state and used the Instantaneous Movement Technique to quickly escape in one direction.

He guessed it right!

This guy was just luring him in by deliberately slowing down; in reality, this old man is a Jonin.
