Chapter 104 The Peacock's Wonderful Method

Chapter 106 The Peacock's Wonderful Method

Chishi and Lanwu then realized that the three guys under the tree hadn't come over because they'd discovered something; they were simply looking at the big tree and wanted to dig a hole in it to rest.

This is exactly what Akaishi wanted!

The upper part of the tree where Chishi and Lanwu are currently located has a sealing spell that conceals their figures. The three people below obviously cannot detect them, making it an excellent position for a sneak attack.

At the same time, even in the darkness, Akaishi could see that the three of them were wearing headbands with a five-pointed star pattern, which meant that they were ninjas from "Hoshigakure" (Hidden Star Village).

There were two boys and one girl, all of whom looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, quite young indeed.

The green-haired male ninja had regular features and was called "Firefly." He was the one who initially suggested taking a break, and he seemed to be the captain of the three.

Another male ninja with pink hair and a somewhat long face acted arrogantly and was called "Red".

The only female ninja, with short, wine-red hair, is known as "Summer".

"Star Hidden Village—I remember it's a hidden village in the Land of Bears, right?" Akaishi asked in a low voice.

The sealing technique left behind by "Nan Dou Immortal - Hag Treasure" also has the effect of blocking sound. Since they can't see through the sealing technique, they definitely can't hear what Akashi is saying!

"Yes, the Land of Bears is located deep in the mountains northwest of the Land of Earth. Its territory is quite isolated, and the Hidden Star Village is surrounded by miasma, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has also always maintained friendly relations with our Leaf Village, so the Hidden Stone Village has never been able to do much against them," Lan Wu nodded.

"Let me test you—what ninjutsu are they good at?" Akaishi asked calmly.

Although I heard something about "Peacock Technique", I couldn't tell what kind of ninjutsu it was from the name.

The information in textbooks about such small countries and secluded villages may not be accurate, and Akaishi doesn't even remember it!

"It's not ninjutsu, it must be some kind of secret technique," Lan Wu said, revealing the information she knew.

Not all secret techniques are "secret". Any technique that is not one of the five elemental escape techniques and is above rank C can be called a "secret technique". For example, the various "sand control" methods of Sunagakure can also be called secret techniques.

Akashi continued to look at Lanwu, who said somewhat embarrassedly, "I don't know exactly what it is, but it seems to be some kind of ninjutsu, good for close and mid-range combat."

After a pause, Lan Wu asked Chi Shi for confirmation, "How should we proceed?"

This is to discuss the tactics with Akaishi for the upcoming sneak attack. Ideally, we should be able to subdue these three directly and then interrogate them slowly.

Akashi shook his head and said, "I'll try using illusion magic first. It would be best if I could get the code directly. If they become alert, then you can take the initiative to suppress them."

If illusion is used, once the opponent notices, Akashi, who is maintaining the illusion, will definitely not be able to act immediately, but Lanwu can.

Red Stone is now extremely close to the enemy, and they haven't even noticed its presence yet. It would be a shame not to try using illusion magic.

Sharingan, activate!

Before the three Star Ninjas even realized it, a pair of Sharingan eyes were fixed on them from above.

Akaishi's Yin Release chakra surged, and his Sharingan genjutsu enveloped the three people, with the long-faced guy being the main target—this guy seemed the least cautious!

When the three of them dug a hole in the tree and went inside to rest, "Red" was in charge of the first shift of night watch.

Suddenly, Chi, who was outside, nodded with drooping eyelids, but immediately shook his head and perked up.

"Red, you'll be in charge of the contact afterwards—do you remember the code?" Firefly's voice suddenly came from the tree hole, but no one was in sight.

"Huh? You didn't tell me either." At this moment, Aka's mind was a little foggy, and she felt that something was wrong.

Akaishi:————

The illusion worked, but unfortunately the target had no idea about the code!

At the same time —

Summer was resting cross-legged in the tree hollow when she suddenly heard a firefly beside her say, "Summer, go and tell the code to Red."

"What do you mean, tell Aka? I don't know either—" Natsumi was stunned for a moment.

Meanwhile————

Just as the fireflies were about to rest, summer suddenly leaned over, extending a finger toward her lips in a seductive gesture.

Firefly: ???

"Firefly, what if someone tries to use their charm on you to get your secret codes? We need to give them some special training!"

Firefly: ???

Gulu, like a firefly, looked down along Xia Ri's fair neck and saw only a blurry expanse inside, as if it were empty space.

Firefly: ???

The next moment, both Hoshinobi Akashi and Natsumi felt a chill run down their spines and almost simultaneously formed battle hand seals, shouting, "Release!"

The illusion immediately dissipated, the illusion before them vanished, and at the same time, the two discovered—

Firefly was no longer resting in the tree hole, but standing on the tree trunk, blocking Lan Wu's view from above. It turned out that Lan Wu had realized the "genjutsu" even before the two of them, and had disrupted her chakra to wake up in time, thus protecting the two of them.

but----

At this moment, Akane and Natsu saw a large amount of cloudy, gelatinous liquid about to cover the firefly. It was clear that in the last moment before they broke the illusion, the firefly had a brief conflict with the enemy!

Water Release: Water Release: Water Release!

Seeing that Chishi's illusion had failed, Lanwu immediately launched a control-type ninjutsu, but this time, Shuiyi Nayuan's attack was unsuccessful.

The Peacock's Magical Method!

Firefly had only formed the battle hand seals when a layer of chakra cloak appeared around her, especially on her back, where a semi-transparent chakra material, resembling both a cape and wings, unfolded like a peacock's tail.

Lan Wu's viscous water-style chakra was swept away by the wing-like condensed chakra as soon as it approached Ying Huo, completely failing to exert its sticky properties.

Originally, because she vaguely knew that the other party was good at ninjutsu, Lan Wu thought that "Water Yi Na Yuan" would be very useful. After all, as long as there was physical contact, "Water Yi Na Yuan" could restrict the other party's movements, which should be a counter to taijutsu.

However, unexpectedly, the "Peacock Technique" possessed a unique nature; its chakra cloak contained both chakra and physical matter aspects.

Its physical aspect allows it to block "Water Yi Na Yuan," while its chakra aspect ensures that it won't be stuck.

In this way, "Water Yi Na Yuan" is almost the same as "Water Rush Wave" in relation to "Peacock Wonderful Method".

At the same time, Natsumi and Akaya also activated "Peacock Technique". After donning the chakra cloak, their offense and defense increased significantly, and they became immune to ninjutsu like "Water Cloak" which is not a direct attack but relies on special properties to interfere!

The three of them immediately stepped onto the tree trunk and rushed up. Lan Wu then formed a hand seal and pulled out the "Water Whip" out of thin air to fight against the three Star Ninjas.

*Crack crack crack* "Hmm?" Lan Wu discovered that even when her "Water Whip" clashed with the opponent's chakra cloak, it was actually being dispersed.

Facing three opponents alone, Lan Wu was slightly at a disadvantage in the first exchange, but it would be difficult for the three opponents to defeat her!

Lan Wu then discovered that although the "Peacock Technique" was similar to ninjutsu, it was different in nature!

The next moment————

Lan Wu dodged immediately.

Just as the three Star Ninjas were about to give chase, they suddenly saw a dazzling flame bursting forth from the treetops above, and at the same time, waves of heat swept over them, which could be felt even through the Peacock Chakra Cloak!

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!

After the illusion failed, Chishi began to form hand seals behind her, while Lanwu took the initiative to restrain him.

Although the opponent completely ignored the strong restraining ninjutsu, Lan Wu managed to hold them off slightly by fighting three opponents head-on. Akashi then unleashed his ultimate attack. If the opponent were a ninja with unpredictable methods like the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Akashi wouldn't have used his ultimate so easily. He would have at least tried to stall for time and find out the opponent's methods. However, Lan Wu said that the opponent was skilled in ninjutsu and taijutsu, so it seemed that this "Peacock Technique" was also incredibly powerful. Therefore, Akashi went straight for a strong attack!

The Fire Release technique, which we didn't have a chance to try out earlier, will now be put to the test in actual combat.

This time, Akashi spat out three fire dragons, each one seven or eight times larger than the one he had in the Land of Whirlpools, yet the energy consumption was only half that of before.

With an overall mastery of 10% and greater proficiency in Fire Release techniques, Akashi can not only more easily manipulate Fire Release ninjutsu to create fancy moves, such as splitting the "Great Dragon Fire Technique," but also increase the range of high cost-effectiveness!

Normally, using "Great Dragon Fire Technique" consumes only about eight-tenths of the previous amount of chakra, and within one-tenth of that. The cost-effectiveness of increasing consumption and enhancing power has also increased. Previously, when Akashi's high-power output doubled the chakra consumption, the power of the ninjutsu could only be increased by two or three-tenths. Now, the output of the ninjutsu has also doubled. However, if it exceeds one-tenth, the cost-effectiveness will still drop sharply.

Akaishi's total chakra reserves have also increased, so this "Double-Consuming Great Dragon Fire Technique" only consumes about one-sixth of his chakra.

Three enormous fire dragons suddenly swept towards the three Star Ninjas!

"Oh no! It's that Uchiha!"

"Watch out! Get out of the way!"

"Ah! Wait—we surrender!"

Upon seeing this ninjutsu, the three Star Ninja were filled with despair.

Is this the strength of the Hidden Village?

Considering that Hoshigakure usually holds itself in high regard—while not as arrogant as the former Takigakure, who considered itself the sixth great hidden village, it still follows the example of the five great hidden villages by addressing its leader as "Kage"—

It seems rather ridiculous now!

Even if the Hidden Star Village has "gifts from heaven," it seems insignificant at this moment compared to the true Great Hidden Village.

Beneath the enormous fire dragon's kiss, the three figures, clad in peacock chakra robes, leaping and bounding about, seemed to be the embodiment of the Hidden Star Village's status!

Akashi's control over fire-style techniques was already enough to make the "Great Fire Dragon Technique" three-tenths complete, but he was still somewhat unskilled at controlling the three-headed fire dragon. After causing a chaotic scene for the three of them, he was also exhausted by then.

Because of the chakra cloak protecting them, the three didn't suffer severe burns. However, they were still scrambling and tumbling, their clothes slightly charred and their skin reddened, looking quite disheveled.
