Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Chapter 211 The Cloud Village's Pursuers

Taking advantage of the moment when water vapor filled the entire battlefield and completely obscured the view, Qingye did not hesitate at all.

Quickly form a hand seal with your right hand.

"Spiritual communication!"

boom!

A burst of white smoke exploded, and a huge lizard appeared in front of Qingye.

Without any hesitation, Aoba picked up the little devil and threw him directly into the lizard's gaping mouth.

"E-Evil God?!"

The little devil was completely bewildered and hadn't figured out what was going on before he was stuffed into the lizard's mouth.

"Shut up, stay there quietly and don't cause trouble. I'll come find you later."

Aoba coldly gave the order.

He then patted the lizard's head. "Take him back to the Swamp and keep a close eye on him. Don't let him run away. I'll come find him later."

The lizard closed its mouth and nodded.

"Evil God! I don't want to leave the Evil God!"

The brat's noisy voice became muffled as the lizard closed its mouth, and then the spirit beast turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared from the spot.

After seeing the brat off, Aoba's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

A Cloud Village ninja formed hand seals and suddenly exhaled a gust of wind, instantly dispersing the billowing water vapor.

Vision instantly returned to clear.

However, when all the Cloud Village ninjas' gazes fell back on Aoba, everyone sensed something amiss.

Aoba remained standing in the same spot.

Arms crossed over chest, posture casual.

But the aura he exuded was completely different from before.

The blonde female ninja Yugito's pupils contracted sharply; she noticed the change more keenly than the others.

She had only ever seen this kind of aura emanating from the Third Raikage.

Even the current Fourth Raikage doesn't have it.

"Everyone back off! Don't come any closer!"

The blonde female ninja acted decisively, shouting at the top of her lungs.

Although her teammates next to her didn't understand why, their long-term training and teamwork instincts made them start to retreat immediately.

pity.

It's still too slow.

Aoba's lips curled slightly, and he slowly raised his right hand, slamming it onto the ground beneath his feet.

"Earth Release: Fighting Blade Staff"

Boom boom boom boom boom!!!

The ground in the entire valley trembled violently in that instant, and countless sharp stone pillars sprang up from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!

The stone pillars are as sharp as blades, varying in height, and in a very short time, they have transformed an area of ​​several hundred meters into a terrifying stone forest!

The scope and speed of the attack far exceeded the expectations of all the Cloud Village ninjas!

"Damn it!"

Even as they were retreating, several Cloud Village ninjas were still affected.

A slow-reacting Chunin from Kumogakure had a stone pillar pierce through his calf from the sole of his foot, causing him to scream in agony.

"ah--!"

Screams echoed through the stone forest.

At the same time, Aoba's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

In the stone forest, his body moved like a ghost among the stone pillars.

Aoba's first goal was very clear.

Take out the sensory ninja first.

He had already given this group of Cloud Villagers a chance last time in the forest.

Since the Raikage is so tactless and insists on sending people to their deaths, then he shouldn't blame him for being impolite.

The sensory ninja was hiding behind a thick stone pillar, his hands forming hand seals as he desperately searched for Aoba's chakra location.

"It's—it's on the right! No, on the left! What's going on—"

He didn't finish his sentence.

A hand emerged from the shadow of the stone pillar and precisely covered his mouth.

"The first one."

A cold voice rang in the ear of a Cloud Village ninja.

puff!

Immediately afterwards, a flash of cold light appeared.

The ninja's body slid limply to the ground, a thin red line appearing on his throat.

Qingye flicked the blood off his blade, his gaze piercing through the layers of stone pillars. Relying on his immense mental strength and perception, he instantly locked onto his next target.

"ah!!"

A scream echoed through the stone forest.

Upon hearing this voice, the blonde female ninja's face instantly turned ashen.

She could feel her companions' chakra disappearing one by one.

"Damn it! Everyone, get around me!"

She shouted as she rushed toward the direction of the companion she remembered being closest to her.

However, Aoba's killing spree did not stop.

After taking down two Cloud Ninja in succession, Aoba quickly lunged towards his third target.

Clang!

Sparks flew everywhere.

With a crisp metallic clang, Qingye's blade was abruptly blocked.

A hint of surprise flashed in Aoba's eyes, and he praised, "Oh? Not bad reaction speed, you can actually keep up with my movements."

This condescending attitude infuriated Galloy.

"Don't look down on us! You bastard! Don't underestimate the ninjas of Kumogakure!"

With a roar, Galloy swiftly formed hand seals, and a surge of violent lightning chakra erupted from his body!

Sizzle!

Blue and white lightning crackled wildly across his body, enveloping him like a dense layer of armor.

"I see, I didn't expect to see the Hidden Cloud Village's signature secret technique!"

Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

Or rather, Lightning Armor!

The signature ninjutsu of Kumogakure, and the signature skill that has made the Raikage famous throughout the ages.

By covering the entire body with Lightning Release chakra, the user's speed, strength, and defense can be greatly enhanced, and they can even use Lightning Instantaneous Body for high-speed movement.

If this Cloud Ninja can learn Lightning Release Armor, he must have a high status in the Hidden Cloud Village.

He must be someone the Raikage is grooming; no wonder his lightning release technique is so outstanding.

Unfortunately, I ran into myself today.

Gallo roared, his figure transforming into a blue lightning bolt, appearing almost instantly in front of Qingye, and slamming a fist filled with violent thunder towards Qingye's face.

"Go to hell!"

"Wow, it really is faster!"

However, faced with this powerful and heavy blow, Qingye merely tilted his head slightly, and a faint blue light flashed deep in his eyes.

[Beep! Target motion captured.]

[Analyzing chakra flow trajectory —]

[Chakra node marked.]

Aoba moved lightly, dodging and weaving through Galloy's storm of attacks as if taking a leisurely stroll.

Galloy grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed; his pride and joy—his speed and strength—were now so great that he couldn't even touch the hem of his opponent's clothes!

And every single one of his movements was completely seen through by the other party!

"Is that all?"

Aoba's indifferent voice suddenly rang in Galloy's ear.

The next second, Aoba's right hand, holding the short sword, pierced through the densest layer of lightning chakra defense on Gero's body at an extremely tricky angle, and accurately stabbed into his abdomen!

puff!

The sharp blade pierced through Galloy's body in an instant.

Galloy's body stiffened abruptly, the lightning around him instantly dissipated, and he lowered his head, staring intently at the short knife embedded in his abdomen, his eyes filled with disbelief.

His prized Lightning Release Armor was pierced so easily?!

"How—how is this possible—my Lightning Release Armor—"

"Your Lightning Release Armor has at least eight weaknesses and vulnerabilities."

Aoba said calmly, "The density of chakra coverage will show periodic fluctuations at the joints, especially on the right side of the waist and abdomen and the lower edge of the left scapula. The armor coverage thickness is less than 30% of that in other areas."

"As long as you master the frequency of the fluctuations and cut in the instant the gap appears, this armor will be no different from paper."

.

Galloy's eyes were filled with despair.

He couldn't understand how the other party had seen through the weakness of the Lightning Armor in such a short time.

Just then.

Whoosh whoosh!

Several dark blue fireballs hurtled toward Qingye's location like falling meteors!

A thick earthen wall suddenly rose from the ground, blocking Qingye's way.

Boom boom boom!

The shockwave from the explosion shattered the earthen wall, sending debris flying everywhere.

As the smoke cleared, Galloy's figure appeared behind the shattered earthen wall, clearly affected by the aftershocks of the fireballs.

Aoba tossed the lifeless Galloy to the ground and stared calmly ahead.

Not far away, the blonde female ninja was staring intently at Galloy on the ground, her eyes bloodshot, her body trembling violently with extreme anger.

"Galloy!!!"

The female ninja let out a roar, and her ten slender white fingers suddenly spread open.

Chi Chi Chi!

Her fingernails instantly grew larger, transforming into ten incredibly sharp, long claws!

"I'm going to tear you to pieces!"

The female ninja flashed forward and pounced on Aoba like a mad cat, her speed even faster than that of the Cloud Ninja from before!

Swish swish!

Her sharp claws tore through the air with a piercing shriek. The thick stone pillars that blocked her way were as fragile as tofu under her claws, instantly being cut with deep scratches and sending fragments of stone flying.

Faced with this ferocious offensive, Aoba did not retreat but advanced.

A layer of high-density light blue chakra once again adhered to the short sword.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Aoba brandished his short sword, clashing head-on with the female ninja's claws, producing a metallic clang.

After a fierce collision, the two passed each other and kept their distance.

Looking at the female ninja's beast-like vertical pupils, her distinctive long claws, and the strange blue flame bullet from before, Aoba confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.

"Oh? No wonder you two have such fiery tempers, you're actually two Yuzuki ladies."

Aoba pushed up his glasses and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"I never imagined that Lord Raikage would go to such lengths to capture such a minor character as me, even mobilizing the village's precious Jinchūriki. Shouldn't I feel honored?"

Upon hearing Qingye call out his name and identity, Mu Ren was shocked, and the killing intent in his eyes surged to its peak.

"Who are you?!"

The wooden figure demanded an answer in a stern voice.

The identity of a Jinchuriki is a top secret in any ninja village. Not to mention ordinary people, even within the Hidden Cloud Village, those who know her identity keep it a secret!

The seemingly mild-mannered guy in front of him was not only incredibly strong, but also knew all the secrets of Kumogakure. Faced with Yugito's questioning, Aoba could only shrug helplessly.

"I'm just an ordinary traveler —"
