Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 207 Yagura, that jerk!

"Swish, swish, swish——"

The sound of wind breaking was constant and whistling in my ears.

Two Hyuga clan ninjas, using their Byakugan's 360° vision, had already noticed the densely packed attack of small chakra shuriken descending from the sky.

But even though they saw the enemy's attack pattern.

Even as their bodies reacted, their palms continuously shattered the attacks into splashes of water.

However, compared to the seemingly endless stream of flying shuriken, what they managed to shatter was merely a drop in the ocean.

"Puff puff puff puff—"

The continuous barrage of flying shuriken broke through the two's combined blockade, shooting into the ground and into their bodies, leaving their bodies riddled with holes.

After the two fell to the ground, blood continued to spill from their mouths.

Until their last breath, they had only one thought in their minds.

"If I were the head of the family!"

"If I could learn to turn the tide!"

The deaths of two Hyuga branch family ninjas do not mean the end of the battle.

Behind him were still dozens of Konoha ninjas charging towards Ao and his companions.

only.

A loud "boom" resounded.

Jianchuan Tachibana swooped down from the sky and crashed straight to the ground, blocking the path between Ao and the four Konoha ninja.

As soon as Jianchuan Ju landed, he quickly formed hand seals while shouting.

"Teacher Qing, please step back."

The Konoha ninjas, who had just been stunned by Tachibana's "superhero-style landing," were immediately enraged when they saw that the newcomer was just a kid.

It charged towards the group again.

However, Tachibana Kanagawa had already completed the hand seals.

Suddenly, Jianchuan Ju clasped his hands together.

A deep blue chakra sphere rapidly formed in front of Tachibana Kanakawa.

The violently pulsating chakra sphere seemed to contain a surge of violent energy.

"Water Release: Steam Explosion!"

It was as if it could not withstand the rapidly compressed boiling steam inside.

The chakra sphere exploded with a roar.

"boom--"

A deafening roar shattered the entire battlefield.

A raging wave of steam, carrying sand and gravel, swept away everything in front of Jianchuan Ju in an instant.

The shockwave, like a roaring, furious dragon, destroyed everything around it.

The scorching steam rose into a huge white cloud from the open space.

The Konoha ninja at the forefront felt a wave of heat hit them, and the next moment they were torn apart by the explosion.

People a little further away were also engulfed by the surging, high-temperature steam, their skin instantly dried out and their bodies scorched red.

A series of agonizing screams echoed as more than a dozen Konoha ninjas collapsed to the ground, twitching a few times before losing their lives.

Those who survived stared in terror at what they were seeing, and stood frozen in place.

It wasn't until the white steam in front of me completely dissipated that I slowly came to my senses.

However, the enemies from before were nowhere to be seen.

Just now.

Immediately after releasing the 'Steam Explosion', he tapped his chest with his thumb to release the 'Acupoint Stimulation' state.

A feeling of weakness enveloped my entire body.

At this moment, Tachibana Kanagawa didn't bother looking for the two Hyuga clan corpses that had been blown away to an unknown location. She quickly followed in Ao's footsteps and ran into the distance.

"Acupressure is really addictive! But the feeling of weakness it induces is just too damn strong!"

"What a waste of my eye-rolling experience card!"

As Jianchuan Ju ran, she secretly regretted her impulsiveness.

The "steam explosion" just now was an attempt by Tachibana Kanagawa to compress the power of the "steam explosion" by condensing the "explosive egg".

The results were indeed remarkable. If given enough time to accumulate energy, the same chakra consumption would make it far more powerful than a regular "bomb."

"It's a pity my body is still too weak! Otherwise, if I had wiped them all out in one go, I might have been able to retrieve those two Hyuga corpses!"

"It seems that in the future, we'll not only need to develop the blue pills, but also some stamina-restoring medicines."

After catching up with Ao and the others, he saw that Mei Terumi and Zabuza were looking at him with expressions of utter disbelief.

Although recently, the name "Wings of the Gale" has become quite popular even within Kirigakure.

But the two never imagined that their teammate, who was only slightly better than them before, would grow to this level.

With just one move, he nearly wiped out more than thirty Konoha ninjas.

However, at this moment, Tachibana Kanagawa had no time to pay attention to the two's little thoughts, and instead asked Ao.

"Teacher Qing, what's going on? I just saw from the sky that there are nearly two hundred ninjas at the Konoha convoy over there."

As Qing applied medicine to the wounds from the previous battle, he spoke with a solemn expression.

"It seems that this Konoha unit is escorting not only the Scorching Release: Leaf Warehouse, but also a lot of other supplies, which is why there is a whole convoy and so many guards."

"Even though we alerted them, they only sent a few dozen ninjas to chase us, while the rest remained firmly guarding the convoy."

The rescue team arrived in a hurry, and although they saw the convoy, Jianchuan Ju didn't have time to think much about it.

Now it seems...

"Could this all be reparations or supplies from the peace talks between Konoha and Sunagakure??"

Thinking of this, Jianchuan Ju became even more indignant.

"That idiot Yagura! He calls this 'not enough people to escort them'? Two hundred and fifty Konoha ninja have been caught up in a small-scale battle?!"

Just as Jianchuan Ju was pondering whether the mission was still worthwhile and whether they should retreat immediately.

A series of explosions could be heard from afar.

Jianchuan Tachibana immediately realized that his subordinates had arrived and were launching an air raid on the Konoha convoy.

They didn't bother to find out more about the situation from Qing and the others.

He popped a small blue pill into his mouth to replenish the chakra he had lost.

Jianchuan Ju said to Qing and the others.

"Teacher Qing, you guys retreat first, I'll go meet up with my teammates."

"If it's just us flying ninjas, we have the choice to fight or retreat."

Having said that, Jianchuan Ju, enduring the weakness in his body, once again raised his chakra wings and flew directly into the air.

The four people who had stopped their retreat looked up at the sky.

Although the plan didn't require them to fight, seeing their comrades, who had just saved them, so resolutely return to the battlefield, made them hesitate to some extent.

Let's not mention those who are about to retreat.

Jianchuan Ju had just taken to the air.

Sure enough, they saw more than twenty Sky Division flying ninjas who had been brought with them circling and flying above the Konoha escort convoy.

Whether it was bombing or machine gun fire, they completely overwhelmed the nearly two hundred Konoha soldiers.

"These guys are getting bolder and bolder!"

Although I was quite pleased that these subordinates were so adept at using the "flying" type to bully the "ground" type.

However, including the people he hadn't managed to kill earlier, a team of over two hundred ninjas was still too many for the half of the Sky Ninja squad led by Tachibana Kenkawa.

Moreover, with a team of this size, and escorting important supplies, it's impossible that there are only two or three Jonin present.

"This task is completely unworkable!"
