Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 431 The Roar of Death

As Dou finished speaking.

Hozuki Mangetsu had also finished accumulating water bullets.

Water Release: Sniper!

"Bang!"

A faint popping sound rang out.

Crystal-clear water bullets shot out instantly from the front of the strange cylinder.

Quickly traversing the 800-meter distance, it hit the target.

Through the specially designed scope on top of the cylinder, Hozuki Mangetsu could clearly see that among the three Konoha ninjas running at full speed on the sea, the leader's right shoulder instantly erupted with a large spray of blood.

"The trajectory is veering to the left. Make minor adjustments to the trajectory and continue the attack."

Hozuki Mangetsu uttered those cold words that were out of character for his age, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, and continued to charge up for the next 'sniper' shot.

That's right, the strange cylinder that Hozuki Mangetsu is wearing on his arm right now is a special "weapon" that Kenkawa Tachibana specially made for "Water Release: Sniping".

Because of the ninjutsu 'Sniping', although it has an extremely long range and sufficient power.

However, when ordinary ninjas use it, they lack the eagle-like vision of Tachibana Kenkawa, and it is also difficult to ensure that their arms have sufficient stability.

When actually using this ninjutsu, its true advantages cannot be fully utilized.

Therefore, Tachibana Kanagawa put in some effort to specially customize this special 'weapon' for assisting in stabilization and aiming.

Although its structure is simple, its function is limited to this.

However, with a little practice, one can greatly enhance the effectiveness of the "sniping" technique and achieve long-range kills on enemies.

The only finished product of this custom-made "firearm" was handed over by Tachibana Kenkawa to his disciple, Hozuki Mangetsu, for testing.

Let's return our focus to the Chunin Exams.

The three Konoha genin taking the exam on the sea were initially overjoyed to have spotted the exam island.

Before they could even land on the island, the strongest member of the team was suddenly attacked from nowhere.

"Withered pine!"

The Konoha ninja in the lead fell backward the moment he was shot in the shoulder.

With such a large movement, how could his other two teammates not have noticed?

He immediately rushed to his teammate's side, helped him up, and assumed a warning stance.

"Where did this attack come from?! Isn't fighting prohibited on the sea?!"

One of the teammates quickly stepped forward to bandage the injured teammate.

The other person drew out two kunai and cautiously surveyed their surroundings.

Judging from their teamwork alone, this team's skill level is actually not bad.

However, the man on guard looked around and saw no other enemies on the sea except for the distant island.

Just then, the Konoha ninja with the injured right shoulder shouted, disregarding his own injuries.

"Watch out! It's an attack coming from the island!"

However, it was too late when he said those words.

"Whoosh~"

A faint whooshing sound whistled past the ear of the ninja holding a kunai, giving him no chance to react.

next moment.

A loud "smack," like the sound of a ripe watermelon being smashed by a naughty child, came from behind him.

The Konoha examinee's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned around in alarm.

What they saw was a headless corpse holding a bandage, collapsing helplessly onto its teammates.

"Kyokotsu!!"

Disregarding the need to remain on guard, the Konoha examinee rushed to the body of his fallen teammate in grief.

On the contrary, the examinee who was injured first, despite the pain and the terror of having his head blown open and splattered with blood by his teammate, spoke rapidly.

"Quickly, dive underwater!"

After giving this reminder, he immediately withdrew the chakra he was maintaining and quickly fell into the water.

However, his last teammate was clearly not as calm as him, or perhaps he simply couldn't accept the blow of losing two members of his team before they even reached the shore.

Although he heard his teammates' warnings, overwhelmed by grief, he knelt on the sea surface, staring blankly at his two teammates who had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

"Whoosh~"

The sound of something tearing through the air, like a death knell, struck once again, traversing space.

However, this time was slightly different.

A rapidly spinning shuriken sliced ​​through the air and suddenly appeared behind the examinee.

It actually managed to intercept the water bullet that was about to hit his head.

"Clang~"

The shuriken was knocked away on the spot.

However, the third water bomb, due to insufficient charging time in the rush, also exploded, turning into scattered water droplets.

"Three more enemies are approaching from the four o'clock direction, and the leader is incredibly fast!!"

Meanwhile, among the three who were lying in ambush on the shore.

Kabuto, who was in charge of sensing, also noticed that three more people had intruded into his sensing range and immediately alerted his two teammates.

Meanwhile, Hozuki Mangetsu, who was in charge of sniping, immediately adjusted his scope and looked towards the four o'clock position.

Sure enough, three figures were rapidly advancing towards the Konoha team that had just been attacked.

The black-haired boy in the lead, wielding a short knife, was so fast that he left a few afterimages.

In the blink of an eye, he had already appeared behind the kneeling Konoha ninja.

What's even more striking is that the black-haired boy's eyes are filled with a pair of scarlet Sharingan with two tomoe, which are spinning rapidly.

"Full moon! Report on the situation!"

The low shout in his ear immediately brought Hozuki Mangetsu back to his senses, and he spoke quickly without the slightest hesitation.

"The attack was blocked by a shuriken! Uchiha clan! Two tomoe! Three more shots!"

The "three shots" that Hozuki Mangetsu mentioned naturally refer to the number of times he can unleash "Sniping" with his remaining chakra.

While the Water Release: Snipe technique itself doesn't consume a lot of chakra, considering the necessary power and range, being able to release it six times is already Hozuki Mangetsu's limit.

Even so, it was because the three of them had placed a large pit of clear water in front of Hozuki Mangetsu before they ambushed him there.

Otherwise, the number of times you can use it without water might be one or two fewer.

After hearing Hozuki Mangetsu's report, Kabuto did not hesitate and immediately gave the order.

"Keep the wind speed constant! Two more shots, one on the Uchiha, one on his teammate!"

Given the advantage on their side, Kabuto is unlikely to abandon his attack just because the opponent blocked a weakened version of the "sniper shot".

Two water bullets. One is to try and take down the Uchiha with the two-tomoe Sharingan. If that fails, then try to kill his teammates and eliminate them directly.

Although Hozuki Mangetsu didn't think that much about it, he knew that using his brain was effective, so he faithfully carried out his orders and immediately began to recharge his power.

The three Konoha ninja on the other side did not choose to sit idly by and wait for their deaths.

After the Uchiha boy in the lead took precautions, his other two teammates quickly arrived at the scene.

"Stop the water!"

Hearing his teammates' shouts, Uchiha Shisui did not turn around, but kept staring intently ahead, shouting rapidly.

"Don't worry about me! Smoke grenade! Save them!"

next moment.

The howl of death sounded once more!
