Chapter 40: Chapter 40
"The next thing to consider is how to leave..." Zixu swung the crowbar and stood with it, feeling a little troubled.
After seeing the primary target escape, the Ronin and the Kirigakure ninjas sent out a small team to chase him, while the rest naturally tried to find a way to deal with the crowbar man who was disrupting the situation.
Terrifying chakra energy burst out, and the surrounding fog became somewhat distorted. If he was dealing with those ronin and Kirigakure Genin alone, it would be fine, but the Kirigakure Jonin who was eyeing him covetously made Zixu feel a lot of pressure. Although there was already a Jonin to chase Zabuza and others, Zixu's pressure did not decrease at all.
"Well... I still can't use my Conqueror's Haki very well, and my technique of using natural energy to complete the 'pseudo-Observation Haki' is still not perfect. The Diamond Sealing (Kekkei Genkai) can easily expose the identity of my Uzumaki clan..." Zixu smashed the Ronin's blade with a crowbar, and kept thinking of ways to deal with it in his mind.
While Zixu was dealing with the ronin, the Mist Hidden Ninja also took action. The fog around him became thicker and thicker, and his figure appeared and disappeared in the white world. This was the Kirigakure no Jutsu (Mist Hidden Technique), and the concentration of the fog would change with the amount of chakra. At this moment, the Jonin completely merged into the surrounding fog, hiding his figure and slowly approaching Zixu.
"The perception has disappeared? Assassination technique?" The Kirigakure Jonin was Zixu's key target of observation. When the ninja disappeared, he keenly sensed a hint of danger.
"Blocking perception? I can do that too." Zixu took back some of the Silence Fruit (fruit Power) from the clone. In contrast, the Silence clone's personality also tended towards Zixu's own personality.
At this moment, on Chinano's side, a few people were chattering in low voices. Tenzang had already caught up with Chinano and the others, but the Kirigakure ninjas behind were still chasing them relentlessly, like a hunting dog eyeing its prey, patiently waiting for the moment when the prey relaxes, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
Chinano covered her injured shoulder with one hand, took out a bandage from the sealing scroll, plucked a handful of fur from the butt of the red panda that had returned at some unknown time, and cancelled the summons again. She wrapped the panda fur with a bandage and tied it to the wound as a temporary measure to stop the bleeding.
"Teacher Tenzo, do you have any detonating tags? Leaving some traps along the way may be able to stop those ninjas..." Chinano looked back at the Kirigakure ninjas who were following far behind, and suggested to Tenzo, who was guarding the rear.
"It has been arranged, but the other party seems to have the means to see through the detonating tags I hid in the surrounding branches. There is no choice but to run first. We will be safe once we get out of the range of the Hidden Mist Village." Tenzo was still curious about the appearance of the mysterious crowbar man before, and didn't know what that guy's purpose was.
Chinano opened one of her Byakugan (White Eye) in shock. She discovered that among the group of Kirigakure ninjas there was a man with long gray-blue hair, one eye, and protective sealing talismans hanging from both ears.
The eye that the man opened was... a Byakugan!
Hatsuizumi noticed Chinano's rapidly changing expression, and when she looked in the direction she was looking, she only saw a man with gray-blue hair wearing navy blue clothes. She couldn't see the rest clearly, but that didn't bother her in any way.
"Chinano, let's go back and kill all those people. We will feel a lot more relaxed after dealing with those guys. There's no need to be patient…" Aburame Hatsuizumi's smile was very bright, and the blood on the ends of his hair seemed to be even brighter.
The silent clone thought quietly, What should the original body do at this time?
Thinking of this, he slapped Hatsuizumi on the head. The personality-correcting palm, which was not very powerful, made the somewhat crazy Hatsuizumi recover a little, or rather, calm down a little, but no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.
"I suggest voting..." Just when the decadent Silence clone was about to say something bad, Zixu happened to take back some of the power of Silence, and after forcibly correcting the clone's personality, the clone continued to speak.
"I suggest that Hatsuizumi deploy more insects. They don't need to be very strong, ordinary insects will do. It's best to inject some chakra into them. Since the opponent has the means to detect the trap, let's play an open strategy..."
Zixu's suggestion was affirmed by Tenzang. Chinano clenched her hands, and blood slowly flowed out of the wounds that had been treated before.
"The branch family's Byakugan will self-destruct along with the brain once it leaves the body because of the caged bird curse. So how did that man... get the Byakugan? Could it be the Byakugan of the main family?" Her heart was in turmoil, and her emotions, which had not fluctuated for a long time, were in turmoil again.
Let's not talk about this for now. After Zixu took back some of the power of Silence, he also shielded his surroundings. The invisible Jonin also paused. Although he could still see Zixu, the man with the crowbar in his perception actually disappeared from his perception. He was very sure that this was not a ninjutsu. He didn't even see Zixu making any hand seals.
That kind of aura shielding is also different from using ninjutsu. When using ninjutsu to become invisible, there will be more or less chakra remaining around. It just depends on personal ability how much chakra will be exposed. However, there was no aura around Zixu, as if he had really disappeared.
"Tsk, this guy is not easy to deal with..." The Kirigakure Jonin looked at Zixu, who was very relaxed, and became extremely alert to this strange guy. However, judging from his technique of shielding his aura, he was at least a Jonin.
Zixu had no idea what the senior ninja was thinking. He could only guess the location where the ninja had passed by from the chakra energy remaining in the air. Now, he just had to find a chance to escape, so he was not under much pressure.
However, the Kirigakure Jonin moved much faster than he had imagined. From his perspective, the ninja was still some distance away from him, but in fact, the man was already several meters behind him.
"Didn't you notice? Or was this a deliberate flaw?" The man was undecided, and for a moment he couldn't figure out Zixu's thoughts, but his years of ninja habits still made him swing the kunai in his hand.
"By the way, there is something in the system space that can be thrown out to attract attention, just like that..." Zixu jumped forward a step as if he was inspired, and this jump made the ninja's fatal blow miss.
"Is it really a trap? What does he mean? Is he teasing me? Or am I no different from an ant in his eyes?" The ninja stared at Zixu's wooden mask, but could only see a pair of eyes that could not tell whether he was sad or happy through the eye sockets.
"Pah!" Zixu also took out an item from the system space, threw it aside without saying a word, and then planned to escape.
"Eh?" It was only then that he realized that his face was covered with [Bucky's socks] that were emitting a gray-green and foul smell.
The ninja stared at Zixu, then fell to the ground unwillingly.
"Sure enough... it's not simple..." Zixu heard such a puzzling sentence. The surrounding ninjas also fell into chaos because of this guy's coma. This is a good opportunity to escape!
After thinking for three minutes, he finally recovered [Bucky's socks]. This "secret technique" is very effective. Maybe it can be used in the future?
