Naruto: The Infinite New World

Chapter 23 Uchiha Kin's Battle

In the forest.

A group of ninjas without headbands were chasing after the three Jin.

The distance is being rapidly reduced.

They were about to catch up.

As they sped up.

A ninja's hand had already touched Kushina's long hair.

The three turned around, their faces showing expressions of horror.

The pursuing ninja grinned maliciously.

"Splash!"

A sound like shattering glass rang out, and it seemed as if something transparent around them was breaking apart.

Uchiha Kin and the others disappeared.

Jiraiya, clad in gray armor, leaned against a tree directly in front of them, coldly observing the group of ninjas.

On the tall trees, figures wearing green vests stood on the treetops.

The ninjas all stopped.

"Jiraiya!" One of the men in the group of ninjas recognized Jiraiya.

His gaze shifted to his left, where a man wearing a gray turtleneck coat, the turtleneck covering his mouth, and sunglasses on his face, had his left hand resting on a scroll the size of an adult.

"Aburame's ambition!"

The current head of the Aburame family.

His gaze shifted to the right, where a man dressed in white with a kimono and eyes that were almost white stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching him.

"Hyuga Yukata!"

The current head of the Hyuga clan.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is really well-guarded."

The man chuckled softly; these three were all elite Jonin-level ninjas.

In addition, there are so many Konoha ninjas.

The ending was already predetermined.

"So it was you who provided the information about the Jinchuriki."

They only took action after receiving news of the Jinchuriki of Konoha.

Although the possibility is slim.

But what if it succeeds?

If they can seize Konoha's tailed beast, it will be like cutting off one of Konoha's arms. Regardless of whether they fight or negotiate next, they will have the upper hand.

pity.

This was just bait that Konoha had specially laid out for them, but they took it right away.

"I never expected to catch so many."

Even Jiraiya was surprised to see this. He looked at Hyuga Yukata and held up three fingers to him.

There were actually three Jonin.

Chakra does not represent combat power, but those who possess a large amount of chakra are generally Jonin.

"I just don't know if it'll be enough to break all your teeth!"

The leader roared. When they saw these people, they knew the mission had failed and their chances of survival were slim.

The battle erupted instantly.

the other side.

"As expected! We were the bait."

Jin harbored resentment in his heart.

Looking back, only three figures remained of the people chasing them.

Just now, a large group of ninjas were chasing after us, but they all disappeared.

That's pretty obvious.

You guys should clean it up properly. What's the point of leaving three?

"What on earth happened?!" Kushina was still in a daze; she had only seen Kin make a gesture to run away.

Then people started growing on the ground.

Minato Namikaze explained things to Kushina.

"We've fallen into the trap that Yamada Chuichiro set in advance."

To be precise, he was after Kushina, but he didn't say it outright.

Jin merely glanced at the two of them. Minato Namikaze was truly gentle; his words were meant to be considerate of Kushina's feelings.

He didn't say anything more.

My mind was rapidly analyzing how they had become bait.

This scene wasn't in the original story, so it seems he's incorporating more and more factors into his changes.

I quickly figured things out.

From the very beginning, the village had already prepared to fish for them, and the bait had been chosen to be Kushina. He and Minato Namikaze were just implicated.

They received the task today, but the other party's preparations didn't begin today; otherwise, it would have been impossible to mobilize so many people on short notice.

If Kushina hadn't mentioned taking on the mission, Jiraiya would probably have proactively changed the mission for them.

Once they accepted the mission, everything began.

"No wonder Jiraiya agreed so readily."

A typical genin takes at least a year to complete a D-rank mission.

They've only been doing this for a few months.

So that's what they were waiting for!

Was Kushina being kidnapped by the Cloud Ninja in the future also a setup?

Are Jinchūriki so easy to use as bait?

Did you even ask Kushina? Even if you don't care about Kushina, you should at least consider him, the one who got dragged into this!

"There are only three left. We've left the others behind. Shall we launch a counterattack now?"

Kushina, comforted by Minato Namikaze, was eager to try.

Jin's lips curled into a grin.

Kushina is really stupid; she hasn't realized she's being used as bait.

Seeing the puzzled look on Minato's face, he was also wondering why there were so few people.

gold:.

You're usually quite smart, so why didn't you react at this moment?

"Don't overthink it, one each! Kill them!"

As soon as Jin finished speaking, he stopped abruptly, reached into his sleeve, and a thin thread flew out and wrapped around a tree. As he fell downwards, the iron thread swung him backwards.

One of the ninjas was momentarily suspended in mid-air and had no time to react before Jin kicked him.

"Get down!"

Jin, carrying the enemy ninja, fell to the ground.

The remaining two ninjas landed on the treetops, just about to support their comrades.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina appeared between the two at the same time.

"Bang bang".

They kicked the people away from the left and right.

Jin landed on the ground, and the ninja he had kicked down was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey! Are you a Jonin or a Chunin?"

Jin suddenly asked a question.

The ground was like a surface of water, and a kind-looking man rose up from it.

"I am a Chunin."

They actually answered.

but.

"However, it just so happens that I need to see my true strength."

Jin lowered his body and took a kunai from his leg.

On paper, he's a Special Jonin, but in actual combat, things might be different.

As for his fight with Might Guy and the others in the village, they all held back, making it impossible to accurately test his strength level.

He could only be considered a sparring partner, but he couldn't make Jin understand his own level of strength.

The ninja in front of me is just right; he's only a Chunin.

shave!

Jin's figure quickly appeared in front of the man, and with a horizontal kick, he shattered the man into pieces.

But what scattered was all soil.

Earth clone technique.

The thing that flew out of the soil caused Jin's pupils to contract.

Paper that burns rapidly.

Explosive tags!!!

"You fucking iron block!!"

boom!!

Jin managed to cross his arms during the explosion, but was thrown off by the blast wave and lay motionless on the ground.

"Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!!"

Sharp spikes grow from the ground.

Jin quickly used his kunai to block the suddenly appearing earth spikes, creating sparks on them, and at the same time, he kicked off the earth spikes with all his might.

The figure vanished instantly.

Hidden among the dense trees, Jin controlled the frequency of his breathing.

He still had burn marks on his body; the explosive tags from earlier had still caused him harm.

It just hasn't reached the point where it would affect the battle.

"That's a Chunin!!"

Jin cursed under his breath, feeling indignant that he had almost killed him. He was furious that a Chunin had nearly killed him.

"I failed the Jonin Exams."

A voice came from above, causing Jin's pupils to contract.

"Earth Release! Earth Prison Technique!" The honest-looking man hung upside down from a tree, his hand facing the metal, trapped in an earthen prison made of rocks and soil.

"it's over."

The man's hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals.

He took a deep breath and blew hard at Jin in the earthen cell.

"Earth Release: Sandstorm Technique!"

Hidden stones in the sandstorm each possessed the power of a sword in one's hand, instantly piercing through Jin's body.

"I."

Jin stared at him in disbelief, a look of despair on his face before death.

Suddenly it turned into a smiling face.

"Got you!"

"Bang!"

The pierced gold turned into white smoke.

Two arms holding kunai grew from the tree, and then half of Jin's body also grew out.

"Magical! Tree Binding Kill!"

The kunai pierced through the man's body, and with a "thud," the man turned into a wooden stake.

The man appeared in the distance, clutching his shoulder, blood streaming down his face.

Although the substitution jutsu was used in time, it was still too late, and the user was hit hard.

Jin couldn't care less about the man at that moment and looked down.

An explosive tag is burning rapidly.

"Hehe, just as I expected."

"boom!!"

Amidst the flames, Jin appeared on the ground first using Shave, thus avoiding injury from the explosion.

"Why are you so much stronger than me, even though we're both Chunin?"

Jin looked at the man standing in the tree with some confusion.

You should know that he could instantly kill a Chunin like Inoue Satoru.

The man didn't understand why Jin asked that question. The other party didn't move, and he didn't attack without permission.

However, the sudden disappearance of his companion gave him a vague sense of unease.

However, he still patiently answered Jin's questions.

"I think the Chunin you encountered were Chunin who hadn't done many missions in the village. Those people are just theorists, but they're useless in actual combat. They're good at bullying children, but if they actually go to the battlefield, it's just luck if they survive."

Their ninja villages also have such Chunin, but they are few and far between.

After all, the combat strength of a Chunin who has emerged from battle and the Chunin who has been teaching in the village are worlds apart, even though they are both Chunin. They just have different areas of expertise.

It would be a miracle if these battle-hardened Chunin were to teach and produce even one good student.

"I've learned something." Jin nodded, then turned to leave, exposing his back to the man.

"What do you mean?" The man asked, puzzled. Why had this kid given up the fight?

Jin stopped and waved, tilting half her body to look at him.

"You are dead."

"What?" The man's eyes widened, and with a "pfft," he spat out a mouthful of blood, which flowed from his eyes, ears, and nose.

"The bitter pill is poisonous!"

He hurriedly searched his ninja tool bag for antidote pills.

"It's no use. That's snake venom specially prepared by elite Jonin. Unless you have a medical ninja by your side, ordinary antidotes won't work."

Orochimaru carefully prepared the dish, and the enemies ate it one by one without making a sound.

The man quickly took the antidote, but just as Jin had said, it had absolutely no effect.

He fell weakly from the tree.

The outcome is decided.
