Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 20 Battle (Part 2)

In Kirigakure, there is a clan called Minazuki (the Haku next to Zabuza is from the Minazuki clan), and this clan possesses a bloodline limit called Ice Release.

Now, the team attacking their squad is the Mizuki family of Kirigakure.

Of course, only the leader has the ability to use Ice Release.

This kind of bloodline limit is not something every Minazuki possesses.

A water dragon shot out from the bottom of the cliff, enveloping the five attackers as they rushed up the cliff. Then, looking at the high earthen wall in front of them, the captain's deep voice rang out: "They just happen to be earth-style ninjas. Tsk, this is a bit troublesome."

"You lot, you're from Kirigakure, aren't you?!" The secretary, her forehead beaded with cold sweat, gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't Kirigakure allied with us?!"

The team leader sneered at the secretary: "An alliance? We are also allied with the Land of Lightning. Don't utter such childish ideas and embarrass yourself."

Besides, the Land of Lightning paid a hefty sum for our help.

Although the money will be given after the money is obtained, it's definitely not something that will be told directly to these people from Konoha right now.

The secretary gritted her teeth. She wasn't worried about herself, but mainly about the three little ones behind her getting hurt.

"If that's the case, how much are they giving you in return? Tell me. If you're willing, I can pay you double," You Ya said calmly, standing behind the secretary.

"Huh? Who are you?" The leading ninja squinted at Yuya.

Yuya looked up at the other party and said, "I am the only son of the richest man in Konoha Village. I can make the decision, as long as you go back."

You Ya isn't stupid; of course, he wouldn't directly reveal his identity to the other party.

The leading ninja sneered, "You think you can make us retreat like this? Hmph, you wish."

As he spoke, the masked man leading the group rushed over, and then a series of ice mirrors formed around them, surrounding them.

"Ninja Art, Hidden Mist Technique, heh heh heh heh..."

A thick fog enveloped Yua and the others, and the secretary quickly asked Yua, Uchiha Yuu, and Hyuga Kazuko to come closer to her.

"Rou, can your Sharingan see enemies?" Yuya asked in a low voice.

Uchiha Yuu, eleven years old, awakened a single-hook Sharingan. Although it's a bit of a stretch, not everyone is as monstrous as Uchiha Madara. Yuu is already considered an outstanding member of the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Yuu shook her head anxiously: "No, this place is full of chakra, I can't see it!"

"Kazuko, what about you?" Yuya then asked the other one.

Kazuko rolled her eyes, then pointed to the side: "I see it!"

The secretary immediately clasped her hands together and exclaimed, "Earth Release: Earth Control Rock!"

However, it was too slow and the enemy had already dodged it.

"Kazuko, give me coordinates!" Yuya looked at the kunai in his hand, made a hand seal, and then looked at Kazuko.

Kazuko nodded, then focused her attention on the thick fog in front of her...

The Byakugan can see a person's meridians, and even in a dense fog of chakra, the shape of the human body's meridians remains fixed.

Unless you're not human.

"Over there!"

Kazuko pointed to one side, and Yua threw a kunai with an explosive tag stuck to it, then clasped his hands together and said, "Try this! Ha!"

The continuous explosions and the resulting gusts of wind terrified the other four attackers.

It's not that they can't maintain the Hidden Mist Technique, but with that Byakugan girl around, they can't achieve complete invisibility. Only the leader, a ninja with the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, is qualified to fight head-on.

The other people's Water Release techniques were completely countered by the secretary's Earth Release techniques.

After all, they haven't reached the Kage level yet. In fact, these people are barely even Jonin level. They were only able to get here because of the Ice Release ninja, Mizuki.

But now...

"Ah! Ah! My leg! My leg is broken!" A wail rang out. Since the Hidden Mist Technique couldn't make him invisible, maintaining it was just a waste of his chakra.

The group withdrew their Hidden Mist Technique and saw that the guy who had been hit by the explosion had lost a leg and was bleeding profusely. The sight made the two little girls, Uchiha Yuuko and Hyuga Kazuko, turn pale.

"Now you know we're not to be trifled with, right? My promise still stands. Return it, and I can give you one million taels of silver, which you can use to treat his injuries."

You Ya was slightly sweating. He also felt a bit disgusted by the scene in front of him, but now was definitely not the time to vomit.

That would be considered a sign of weakness.

Multiplying Explosive Tags: Tobirama Senju's Super S-Rank Ninjutsu.

Simply put, an explosive tag can multiply infinitely and explode once it touches a person.

However, this concept of "infinite" is a false premise, because a person's chakra is not infinite, so this skill cannot reproduce infinitely.

In the Naruto anime, besides Tobirama Senju's multiplication of explosive tags, the only other memorable scene involving explosive tags is Konan's billion explosive tags that blasted and buried the ground for ten minutes (so the Akatsuki used all the money they got to buy this stuff, right?). This can be considered the highlight of explosive tags.

As Tobirama Senju's junior disciple, it's quite reasonable for Yua to learn the skill of Mutual Explosion Tags, right?

However, due to his age, he doesn't have much chakra. He can only generate a little over a hundred chakra tags before running out.

In order to control the amount of chakra, Yua cannot use it all up in one skill.

However, looking back now, it might have been better to simply increase the output of chakra and kill the Mist Ninja directly.

"You brat!" The other party was clearly unwilling to accept Youya's conditions and immediately dashed into the ice mirror next to him. A gust of cold wind blew by, and Youya and the others suddenly found that the ground under their feet had frozen into ice.

"Oh no!" The secretary exclaimed in alarm, but it was too late.

The ice surface suddenly bulged up, and four identical figures sprang out from within...

"Watch out!" The secretary could only block one. On Yuya's side, the three children were facing the three clones and were about to be slashed through by the ice blades in the clones' hands. Yuya immediately spread his arms, and liquid gold gushed out from Yuya's arms, enveloping Yuya, Uchiha Yu, and Hyuga Kazuko.

With a clang, the ice blade slashed down heavily, but it couldn't inflict any penetrating damage on the golden barrier that had solidified in front of the three.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Yu, who had just finished forming hand seals, puffed out her cheeks and unleashed a burst of flame at the three ice clones in front of her.

Having missed his target, the leader decisively retreated, then squinted at Yuya.

You Ya snorted and slapped the frozen ground.

A flash of golden light, and the entire ice surface turned into gold.

"..." The leader fell silent.

His Ice Release technique requires him to use ice blocks to create a field that envelops the enemy, and then launch a surprise attack or simply use ice clones to attack the enemy from all directions.

but now……

Looking at the golden-headed Mist Ninja spreading across the ground beneath his feet, he knew it was impossible for him to use his Ice Domain to envelop the Konoha squad in front of him.

Most importantly, this place is very close to Konoha's front-line camp. Their mission to gather intelligence by bypassing the Land of Iron has been completed, and they have also destroyed the retreat route for Konoha ninjas.

The basic mission has been completed. If we don't retreat now, we might be captured by the ninjas coming from Konoha.

Retreat was practically the only option, but...

The leader gave Yuya a deep look: "I didn't expect Konoha to have someone with a bloodline limit like you. Hmph, then let's meet again on the battlefield."

He was about to leave when You Ya quickly called out, "Wait!"

The leader stopped and looked at You Ya with a dangerous expression: "You don't actually intend to keep us here, do you?!"

Yuya shook his head: "No, of course I know that if we really fight, we can't take you down in a short time, and you can't kill us all in a short time either. What I mean is, what I just said is still valid, but the target is your Mizukage."

"We can discuss any benefits that Kumogakure has given you, but these ten kilograms of gold are my greeting gift to Kirigakure."

As You Ya spoke, he tossed a gold brick over.

The leader of Kirigakure immediately frowned.

Yuya tapped his feet and said, "Don't worry, the gold I conjure from my bloodline limit will return to its original state when it comes into contact with water. What I'm giving you is the real thing, not something I conjured up."

After Yuya explained the situation, the leader, Wuyin, snorted coldly, but still hugged the gold brick to his chest before turning around and leaving.

Upon seeing this, Youya burst into laughter.

Don't worry about whether you take it or not. Once you do, there will be many more opportunities to manipulate things.
