Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 193 It's Terrifying to Be Uncultured

With such a distinctive appearance, Tachibana Kanagawa immediately recognized the other person's identity.

The Aburame clan, the insect-taming family of Konoha!

Sure enough, the next moment, swarms of parasitic insects flew out from the huge jars on the backs of these ninjas and from their sleeves, surging towards the passage in the sky that had just been blasted open by the 'Great Breakthrough'.

The swarm of insects, a dark cloud that blotted out the sky, surged toward one place, creating a visually eerie effect.

Jianchuan Ju, however, was not flustered and immediately gave the order.

"Everyone slow down and keep your distance! Lanzi, follow me!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining thirty-odd people immediately pulled on their gliders and reduced their speed as much as possible in the downwind corridor.

Jianchuan Ju and Lanzai accelerated and took the lead.

In fact, the best way to deal with the parasitic insects of the Aburame clan is undoubtedly a large-scale fire-style ninjutsu.

While the "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough" technique commonly used by the Sky Ninjas has a considerable range, its power is insufficient. It can usually only scatter or push away swarms of insects, making its actual killing efficiency too low.

However, the number of Fire Release ninjas in Kirigakure was indeed pitifully small, and none of the people led by Tachibana Mizukawa were among them.

This has led Konoha to increasingly favor using the Aburame clan to counter Kirigakure's flying units.

However, when faced with the overwhelming swarm of parasitic insects, Tachibana Kenkawa grinned.

After hanging the submachine gun on his back, he immediately clasped his hands together to gather chakra and opened his mouth to make a sound.

"Croak!"

That's right! That "quack" came from Tachibana Kanagawa's mouth!

As the sound spread, the parasitic insect at the forefront paused slightly, but that seemed to be all; it then charged towards Kanagawa Tachibana without hesitation.

The Aburame clan ninjas below breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"A sonic attack? But it's too weak; it's nothing special!"

However, he hadn't even finished saying that sentence.

Lanzi, who flew out with Jianchuan Ju, also spoke up.

"Quack!! (「▔0▔)"

This time, the frog's croak seemed to overlap with the one from Jianchuan Ju earlier, and the parasitic insect swarm paused noticeably again.

"Could it be that..."

Tachibana Kanagawa did not give the Konoha ninjas any more time to react.

"Croak!!!" "Croak!!!!" "Croak!!!!"

Jianchuan Ju and Lanzai, one person and one frog, took turns croaking, and the "croaking" sounds in the sky grew louder and sharper.

The powerful sound waves, repeatedly superimposed, have generated a shockwave visible to the naked eye, as if the space itself is vibrating from the resonant sound waves.

Those already weak parasites could hardly withstand this.

At first, the attack by the sonic wave only caused a slight pause, after which swarms of insect corpses fell from the sky.

Now, large numbers of parasites even explode in mid-air, crushed into powder by powerful sound waves.

What Tachibana Kenkawa released was the sonic ninjutsu "Round," which he had recently learned and improved from the little frog.

Although he can't just open his mouth like Lan Zai, he only needs to form a hand seal to release repeatedly.

The most distinctive feature of the "Round" move is that it can be used alternately with a partner to stack the power and range of the move.

Although its potential is not high, it is perfect for dealing with swarms of insects.

In just a few seconds, the once overwhelming swarm of insects was completely wiped out.

Meanwhile, the air force members who had slowed down their flight had just flown from the turbulent airspace to Jianchuan Ju's side.

Immediately, the group launched another barrage of fire downwards.

"Da da da da!"

These Konoha ninjas, who were also slightly affected by the aerial "frog croaking," had no time to retaliate and lost many lives to this attack.

Many ninjas who were seriously injured and unable to stabilize their chakra sank directly into the sea without a chance to be rescued.

Only a few individuals with Jonin-level strength were able to withstand the sonic attack without being significantly affected and to launch a timely counterattack.

However, this small-scale attack was easily evaded by the air force, and the aircraft suffered no damage whatsoever.

Meanwhile, as the group of Sky ninjas led by Tachibana Kenkawa flew over the Konoha troops, many of them casually threw down a spherical object covered with square markings.

"It's a grenade! Get out of the way!"

"Watch out! Intercept!"

"Quick, get into the water!"

Some of the Konoha ninja who noticed the object in the air immediately cried out in alarm.

Some people wanted to use ninjutsu to intercept the "airdrop," while others were reminding their companions to avoid the enemy's aerial bombardment.

However, this made Tachibana Kanagawa, who was in the air and heard the shouts below, almost burst out laughing.

The so-called "hand grenade" was naturally something that Tachibana Kenkawa invented.

The village of Kirigakure has a very limited stockpile of explosive tags. In order to improve the killing efficiency of the explosive tags, when Tachibana Kenkawa returned to the village to rest last time, he first asked the old man Shimotsuki to make a few samples, and then directly submitted a plan to the village to "make simple hand grenades".

This thing is very simple for ninjas. They can order a batch of round, thin-skinned iron balls, make grooves on them, and then stuff them with explosive tags. If they have the means, they can also stuff some steel balls and iron scraps in. That's how they make a qualified "fragmentation grenade".

In previous air raids, this thing had caused considerable casualties to the Konoha ninja.

Later, the reputation of the "hand grenade" naturally spread to the ears of the Konoha ninjas.

However, it seems that Tachibana Kenkawa has never actually used this on the Konoha ninjas at sea.

One grenade after another landed in the Konoha formation.

The flying ninjas in the air immediately formed hand seals with one hand.

"Explode!" xN

Immediately afterwards, explosions and screams erupted from below.

As grenades exploded one after another, the ninjas who didn't have time to hide underwater were alright.

Only some people who were close to the explosion were killed. Those who were a little further away suffered some shrapnel damage, but most of them survived thanks to their basic ninja skills.

however.

Those who thought they were clever enough to dive underwater are in big trouble.

Although the impact of a grenade exploding underwater is minimal due to the resistance, the shrapnel damage is almost negligible.

However, due to the incompressibility of water, the blast radius of a grenade's shockwave can actually increase exponentially.

If they were in the air, those ninjas would have had a high chance of surviving if they were more than five meters away from the explosion's epicenter.

In that case, ninjas within a 10-meter or even 15-meter radius in the water would die.

Not to mention, there's also that bad boy, Tachibana Kanagawa, around.

The grenade he threw didn't contain an explosive tag, but rather a small, pre-prepared "bomb."

Seeing that the water jets that exploded were two or three times higher than those of others, you could tell that their power was definitely not comparable.

Kanakawa Tachibana looked back and saw the Konoha ninjas who were seriously injured, coughing up blood, or even dying floating up in the water. He clicked his tongue inwardly.

"It's terrifying to be uncultured!"
