Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 135 A Roar When Injustice Is Seen

Kenta gritted his teeth, holding the kunai in front of him, his arms trembling slightly from the intense fighting.

His face and arms were covered in wounds, and his ninja uniform was stained dark brown with blood and dirt.

Half an hour earlier, while patrolling their defense zone, they saw a red distress flare rising from the neighboring outpost. Kenta did not hesitate and immediately led his team to the rescue.

However, when they arrived at the scene, they discovered that it was a trap!

And before them, a small squad had already been ambushed.

The Iwagakure ninja deliberately left that outpost unattacked in order to lure the nearby Konoha squads to come to their aid—a classic "encircle and annihilate reinforcements" tactic!

At this moment, the canyon was surrounded by more than a dozen Iwagakure ninja.

The other Konoha squad has basically lost its fighting capacity, and everyone on Kenta's side is injured.

Even with a medical ninja in the team working tirelessly to heal them, it was impossible to restore their combat effectiveness in a short time.

"Captain, we only have one explosive tag left!"

One of the team members rolled the last explosive tag onto the kunai.

"No, my chakra is almost depleted too—"

The medical ninja was covered in sweat, his hands were trembling slightly, and he could barely maintain even basic medical ninjutsu.

"Hold on! Reinforcements from headquarters are on their way!"

Kenta gritted his teeth, brandished his ninja sword, and cleaved away an incoming kunai.

His gaze was fixed on the approaching Iwagakure ninja, his eyes filled with resentment.

Before they arrived, they had already sent a distress signal to the headquarters. Now, all they can do is hold out and hold out until the headquarters' rescue team arrives!

"Earth Release: Earth Split Palm!"

At that moment, several Iwagakure ninjas simultaneously formed hand seals, and the ground beneath Kenta and the others instantly cracked, causing several Konoha ninjas to lose their footing and fall to the ground.

"Kill them all!"

The leading Iwagakure Jonin grinned maliciously and waved his hand. A dozen Iwagakure ninjas, wielding kunai, pounced on the Konoha ninja who had lost their balance, like hungry wolves.

The defenses are about to be breached!

Just as Kenta closed his eyes in despair, preparing to detonate the explosive tags on his body to perish together with the enemy, Boom!

The sky suddenly darkened.

Kenta instinctively looked up, his pupils instantly contracting.

All that could be seen was a waterfall of yellow sand falling from the sky, forming an impenetrable sand barrier in front of the Konoha team!

Ding ding ding!

Dozens of kunai and shuriken struck the sand wall, only to be swallowed up instantly, like mud oxen entering the sea, without even a ripple.

Immediately afterwards, the sand wall exploded, turning into a surging sand wave that swept towards the Iwagakure ninja in front!

"What is this thing?!"

"Retreat now!"

Before the Iwagakure ninjas at the forefront could react, they were instantly entangled by the swirling yellow sand, which, like giant, living pythons, tightly constricted their bodies.

"Sand-bound cabinet!"

As a cold voice came from mid-air, the sand suddenly contracted.

puff!puff!

A sickening sound of bones cracking rang out, and several Iwagakure ninjas were crushed into a pulp before they could even scream!

The blood stained the yellow sand, a shocking sight.

Kenta was stunned by the shocking scene before him. Then, a name he had recently heard flashed through his mind, and he was so excited that he trembled all over.

"It's reinforcements! The village's reinforcements have arrived! Hang in there, everyone!"

Kenta turned to his teammates and yelled, a renewed glimmer of hope in his eyes.

In mid-air, Qingye floated down slowly on the sand mat, waving her hands continuously.

With each wave of his hand, the yellow sand on the ground transformed into deadly weapons, mercilessly annihilating any Iwagakure ninja who tried to approach.

"Don't panic! Use Earth Release to deal with him!"

In the Iwagakure team, a Jonin leading the group shouted angrily and quickly formed hand seals.

"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"

"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet!"

In an instant, the ground shook violently, and countless sharp rock spears emerged from the ground, shooting towards Qingye in mid-air.

At the same time, a gigantic earth dragon roared and soared into the sky, opening its blood-red maw to bite at Qingye.

"Hmph, the light of a firefly!"

Qingye remained expressionless, her right hand pressing down slightly.

The yellow sand instantly coalesced, transforming into a giant sand shield that stretched across the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The rock spear and the earth dragon bullet slammed into the sand shield, unleashing a deafening roar and sending dust billowing into the air, completely obscuring Aoba's vision.

"Now!"

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Iwagakure Jonin, and he formed hand seals once more.

The ground directly below Aoba suddenly bulged up, and a huge rock pillar rose from the side, hurtling towards Aoba at an extremely fast speed.

At the top of the rock pillar, the Jonin from Iwagakure, wielding a short sword, used the momentum of the rising rock pillar to hurtle towards Aoba like a human cannonball.

A perfectly executed tactical combination.

They used wide-range ninjutsu to obscure vision, and then took advantage of the terrain to launch a deadly close-range attack.

If it were an ordinary ninja, they would have no chance of dodging this fatal blow while in mid-air with their vision obstructed.

Unfortunately, he encountered Aoba.

Aoba's perception was already quite excellent, and with the aid of the chip in combat, this level of tactics was meaningless to him.

Aoba didn't even turn his head; the sand beneath his feet suddenly shifted several meters to the side, effortlessly avoiding the impact of the rock pillar.

The Iwa ninja reacted extremely quickly, pushing off the edge of the rock pillar with his toes, rapidly adjusting his direction in mid-air, and slashing down with his short sword.

Aoba did not draw his sword.

He simply raised his right hand.

"What?!"

The Iwagakure Jonin's pupils constricted sharply, and he realized something was wrong.

Before he could react, Aoba's right hand swung out suddenly.

A giant sand hand condensed in the air, carrying an overwhelming sense of pressure, and slammed down on the Iwa ninja Jonin.

Like swatting a fly.

Boom! ...

The giant sand hand slammed down on the rock pillar, causing the thick pillar to collapse and shatter instantly. The Iwagakure Jonin, along with the rubble, was slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater.

As the smoke cleared, the Jonin lay at the bottom of the pit, his bones shattered, his fate unknown.

The remaining Iwa ninja, witnessing this scene, realized they were no match for them.

One of the Iwa ninja captains decisively ordered a retreat. Several people threw down smoke grenades and quickly retreated to the rear under cover.

However, several more corpses were left behind by Aoba's sandstorm.

The battle is now over.

Aoba controlled the sand mat to descend slowly, stopping in front of the Konoha team.

Aoba controlled the sand mat and slowly landed in front of the Konoha team.

Kenta and the others looked at the "senior" in front of them, who was carrying a large yellow gourd and looked far too young, their eyes filled with emotion and gratitude.

Although Aoba never appeared on the front lines of Iwagakure, his achievements on the front lines of Sunagakure had already spread to all fronts of Konoha through various channels. His iconic sand gourd and sand control technique were instantly recognizable at a glance.

"Aoba-sama!"

Despite his injuries, Kenta stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Kenta, captain of the third patrol squad, thank you for your support!"

Aoba nodded, his gaze sweeping over the seriously injured individuals. He immediately created two sand clones and went forward to treat them.

The group's eyes widened in astonishment when they saw Aoba's clone unleash a medical ninjutsu.

Just as Aoba was treating the group, a figure quietly emerged from the rocks.

The group was so amazed by Aoba's medical ninjutsu that they didn't notice the lurking survivors.

After emerging from the boulder, the rock ninja used a secret technique once more, his entire body suddenly twisting and disappearing from the spot.

This is the Rock Concealment Secret Technique: Camouflage Invisibility Technique.

A nearly transparent figure, holding a poisoned kunai, silently approached Aoba's back.

Ten steps — five steps — three steps!

Just as a triumphant smirk flashed in the eyes of the hidden Iwa ninja, preparing to launch a sudden attack...

boom!

A huge cloud of white smoke exploded not far behind Qingye.

"Spiritual communication!"

With a deep shout, a thick, slimy, pink tongue shot out from the white smoke like lightning, precisely wrapping around the Iwagakure ninja who was in stealth mode!

"Ugh!"

The Iwagakure ninja let out a terrified scream and instantly lost his balance.

The enormous tongue lashed out, tossing the Iwagakure ninja high into the air before slamming him violently to the ground some distance away.

boom!

The ground was smashed into a large crater, and the Iwagakure ninja coughed up a mouthful of blood and passed out completely. His camouflage invisibility technique was also dispelled.

boom!

The spirit toad disappeared, and a white-haired figure strode out from the white smoke, his wooden clogs creaking loudly.

Jiraiya-sama!

The Konoha ninjas around them became excited.

As for Aoba, he didn't react at all from beginning to end, as if what had just happened was just a farce.

Only after the treatment was completed did Qingye slowly stand up and gently wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"We can only stop the injury temporarily. The fractures, dislocations, and poisoning will all need to be treated at home. Please be as careful as possible when moving the patient."

After explaining the situation, Aoba finally had time to deal with Jiraiya.

"Lord Jiraiya, when did you develop this bad habit of watching the show?"

He had sensed Jiraiya's chakra long ago. That old pervert had been watching from the shadows for a long time, but he insisted on making a move at the last moment to show off.

Seeing that Aoba had exposed him so bluntly, Jiraiya scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled.

"Hahaha, I just wanted to see how strong you are now!"

Jiraiya walked up to Aoba, looked him up and down, and a hint of undisguised amazement flashed in his eyes.

"Not bad! That brat from back then has now grown into a powerful figure capable of standing on his own. This sand manipulation technique is simply astonishing in its power. No wonder those guys from Sunagakure were beaten so badly by you that they ran away with their tails between their legs."

Jiraiya patted Aoba on the shoulder, his tone filled with relief: "Now, you've become quite reliable too."

.

"No, compared to Jiraiya-sama, I still have a lot to learn."

Aoba was naturally delighted to receive Jiraiya's praise, but he knew his own limitations and wouldn't get carried away by the compliment.

He knew how strong Jiraiya was; he estimated that his current strength was only enough to exchange a few blows with Jiraiya in his normal state.

If Jiraiya were to activate Sage Mode, he'd probably be knocked down in two rounds.

Seeing that Aoba was neither arrogant nor impatient, Jiraiya was taken aback.

As a disciple of the Third Hokage and a member of Konoha's upper echelons, he naturally knew Aoba's true abilities. To possess such terrifying fighting power at such a young age, while maintaining such composure and calmness, truly made him a rare genius.

No wonder Minato praised Aoba so highly.

"Let's go back to the base first."

Jiraiya waved his hand, signaling Kenta and the others to follow.
