Chapter 54 When Did You Develop This Illusion?
After rescuing the little girl, Shiba Kiyokawa turned around and said something meaningful to Yahiko.
"True cruelty is not to stand by and watch someone die, but to give them false hope first, and then abandon them and run away when the abyss descends."
The little girl didn't understand, and tilted her head in confusion, showing a very cute puzzled expression.
But Yahiko could understand it.
Shiba Kiyokawa is mocking him for being a good person all the time, but not having the courage to stand up when it really matters.
Yahiko blushed at these words, but he was powerless to refute them. He could only hug the little girl he had rescued tightly and remain silent.
Then, Shiba Kiyokawa raised one hand, clenched it into a fist, and shouted, "Do it!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers in the front row who were holding pitchforks all stepped back, and also blocked the people behind them.
What Yahiko didn't know was that, apart from the innocent little girl in his arms, the villagers who were standing at the front row and speaking most vehemently today had all received prior hints and instructions.
At that moment, when Shiba Kiyokawa spoke, they immediately knew that the mission was complete, so they retreated with exceptional decisiveness!
Then there was a loud "boom"!
The ground beneath the feet of the Iwagakure ninja in front of them suddenly collapsed with a loud bang!
"What?! Ahhh!"
Caught off guard, the Iwagakure ninjas first gasped in surprise, then screamed in agony.
Iwagakure is skilled in Earth Release, and terrain modification has always been their forte. However, this time they were the ones who learned a lesson from them.
Shiba Kiyokawa started with a floor-lifting technique, sending everyone into the pit.
Then he opened his raised fist, then closed it again, and snapped his fingers!
"Snap!"
"boom!!"
Along with the snap of the fingers came an even more deafening roar!
A violent explosion sent flames shooting into the sky, erupting from the bottom of the crater!
The pit was dug last night, and thousands of explosive tags were hidden underneath beforehand!
It was precisely to facilitate this plan that the villagers had the tax collector sent by the nobles conveniently located at this spot outside the village.
When tax officials tried to escape, they were stopped with pitchforks; when they tried to enter the village, they were driven away with pitchforks.
The dragging continued until the well-to-do middle-aged nobleman arrived with Iwagakure.
The Iwagakure ninjas had no idea that from the moment they chose to accept this side mission, they had cut off their own path to survival!
The terrifying explosion instantly wiped out all the genin in the team, and even most of the chunin were lost.
Only three Iwagakure Jonin, including Kari, remained relatively unharmed and managed to escape the pit at the last minute.
The eyes of the hunter who jumped out of the trap were completely red!
In just one second, he lost more than ten of his companions!
This loss made him so angry that he almost lost his mind!
"Jiao, go and tell those two teams to come back for backup! I'm going to kill those bastards!"
This time, more than one noble from the Land of Rain returned. Iwagakure sent out a total of three squads, with the Kari squad having the largest number of members.
But he never expected that in the end, it would be his side that would be the first to ask for help from the outside!
Those despicable Rain Ninja actually prepared a trap beforehand, clearly coming prepared! They have no sense of martial ethics!
Enraged, he charged straight at the villagers surrounding the pit!
In Shou's view, these people were undoubtedly accomplices!
But the next moment, Shiba Kiyokawa stood in front of him!
"Get out of here!"
Shou roared and unleashed a furious punch!
"Explosive Release: Landmine Fist!"
"boom!"
With a deafening roar, a violent explosion erupted from the front of his fist, engulfing the Rain Ninja boy who had recklessly charged forward.
But the next moment, Shou withdrew his fist and looked closely, only to find that after the firelight dissipated, there was no one in front of him!
"Was that... an afterimage?"
Just as he was beginning to understand, a sharp whistling sound of a blade cutting through the air suddenly rang out beside him!
So fast?
Is it the Instantaneous Movement Technique?
Thinking he had seen through the other party's secrets, Shou turned around and stared intently at the other party's hand holding the knife!
As we all know, a proper ninja always uses hand seals to unleash any ninjutsu; we won't discuss the unorthodox kind.
The Body Flicker Technique is no exception!
Hunt believed that as long as he kept a close eye on the opponent's hand movements, he could guard against the elusive Body Flicker Technique. Little did he know that what he was guarding against was an illusion from the very beginning!
Shiba Kiyokawa was more than happy that his opponent would stand still and attack him head-on without dodging or flinching!
A knife!
Two knives!
A quick step, a slip, the blade flashes like a ring—a single thought stirs the wind!
"What?!" Hunti exclaimed in surprise once again.
He had been watching the other person's hands closely the whole time, but he hadn't seen the Rain Ninja boy make any hand seals. Where did this Wind Release come from?
The familiar floating, the familiar spinning, the familiar dizziness and cuts all over my body!
Not long ago, when Shiba Kiyokawa saved the little girl, he had given him a whirlwind attack, but at that time the distance was relatively far, so he still had some time to prepare.
But this time, Shiba Kiyokawa slid to his side and whipped up a whirlwind at point-blank range!
In an instant, a cloud of blood mist erupted around Shou, who was in mid-air, turning the azure whirlwind red.
"asshole!!"
Driven to this point by a mere teenager from a small ninja village, Kari was now beyond furious.
He went all out, tearing off his tattered ninja vest mid-air and throwing punches rapidly into the air, creating rings of air blasts!
Using the recoil from the explosion, he forcibly changed his rotation direction in the air, adjusted his posture, and landed with a backflip.
The moment he landed, he looked up and his eyes widened in fury!
Because that despicable Rain Ninja boy was using the time he was under control while being blown into the air to quickly slaughter his comrades behind him!
Two Chunin, wounded, finally managed to climb out of the crater filled with explosive tags, but before they could even catch their breath, Shiba Kiyokawa swiftly slit their throats with his katana!
Another Iwagakure Jonin, whose strength was inferior to Kari's, was forming hand seals, trying to delay his opponent.
"Earth Release·Yellow Spring Marsh!"
However, Shiba Kiyokawa anticipated this, jumped to dodge, and at the same time sheathed his sword, retaliated in mid-air.
"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique!"
Upon seeing this, Shou rushed over immediately, while also loudly reminding his teammates.
"Watch out! This person is very skilled in Body Flicker Technique; they're incredibly fast! Move away and use your ninjutsu!"
Kari thought he had provided his teammates with crucial information, but he didn't notice that Shiba Kiyokawa, who had just landed, was wearing a triumphant smile.
The opponent has personally ruined his only chance to join forces with his teammates and attack him from both sides.
As Hunting rushed closer, dragging his bleeding body, he was about to throw another punch in anger when the scene before his eyes suddenly blurred!
The enemy, who was two or three meters away from him just a second ago, suddenly appeared in front of him as if he had teleported, and stabbed him in the heart at point-blank range!
His fist was only raised to his temple at that moment, and he hadn't even had a chance to swing it out yet.
It was only then that he realized that this bizarre and almost unbelievable teleportation might not be explainable by the Instantaneous Movement Technique!
"What is this—"
He lowered his head, spat out a mouthful of blood, and still tried to ask the question in his heart with resentment.
Shiba Kiyokawa chuckled softly, looking into his eyes, and said, "When did you get the misconception that I'm good at the Body Flicker Technique?"
Using afterimages to mislead opponents and give them the illusion that one is incredibly fast and can disappear in an instant is a technique that Shiba Kiyokawa had just stolen from Uchiha Shisui a few days ago.
However, Uchiha Shisui was truly skilled at using the Body Flicker Technique.
But what he's really good at is illusion and misdirection!
