Chapter 41: Blood Ninja
Cloudshade Town, a remote town in the northwest of the Land of Fire.
The town wasn't large, and didn't have tall buildings. It was surrounded by a simple wooden fence, whose purpose was nothing more than preventing attacks from wild beasts. After all, in the wilderness, wild beasts often appeared, and ordinary people would become prey if they weren't careful.
On a road not far from Cloudshade Town, a child was walking slowly.
"According to the information on the mission, he appeared in this area three days ago, and within a radius of several hundred miles, only Cloudshade Town is habitable, where he can replenish food and water. Even if he is a jonin, he has to eat. If he wants to escape to the Land of Earth, he needs to bring enough supplies."
The child was Uchiha Kaito. Two days had passed since he received the mission. During these two days, he had been traveling day and night, and finally arrived at Cloudshade Town in the northwest of the Land of Fire.
"Whatever, let's go in first."
Kaito stepped towards the town gate and entered the town, looking around.
The environment in the town was not good. The roads were uneven cobblestones, and the shops on both sides looked so old, as if they hadn't been repaired for a long time. There weren't many pedestrians either. After all, it was the Warring States period, and there were wars everywhere. It was not easy for a marginal town to maintain this state.
Of course, Kaito didn't care about the environment here. His purpose was to kill the Blood Ninja, and he would leave soon.
In the center of the town was a two-story restaurant, perhaps the most lively place in Cloudshade Town, with a hubbub of voices.
Upstairs.
A burly man was sitting by the window. He was wearing gray clothes, and a head of messy long hair was draped over his shoulders. The hand holding the wine glass had large knuckles and thick calluses, and was slightly black. As for his face, there was nothing special about it, except that it was not ugly. Unfortunately, a scar ran from the corner of his eye to his jaw, adding a lot of ruggedness. Only his eyes were shining brightly, secretly looking around, very cautiously.
After eating a few pieces of wild boar meat and drinking a bowl of wine, the burly man turned his head and said to the young man in green clothes at the next table, "Who are you? You seem to have been staring at me for a long time."
The young man in green clothes put down his chopsticks and glanced at him, arrogantly saying, "Are you the Blood Ninja?"
"That's right." The burly man licked his lips.
"It seems my luck is good. Will you commit suicide, or will I kill you myself? Choose one."
Hearing this, the Blood Ninja laughed loudly, "Ignorant kid, which family are you from? I see that you have just reached the level of a jonin, your strength is not bad, but it's a pity that you came to die yourself, I will fulfill you!"
He used to be a jonin of the Qiyuan clan, and had been on the battlefield, fighting against ninjas from various families in the Warring States Period. He had rich experience. Since being wanted by the Qiyuan family, he had been running away all the way, and had also been blocked by jonin who came for the bounty, but he had killed them all.
It was just that he was too unlucky last time, and he actually met a young jonin of the Senju clan. Whether it was taijutsu or ninjutsu, he was superior to him, almost killing him completely.
Fortunately, his years of fighting experience saved him. At the most dangerous time, he counterattacked frantically, completely in a desperate posture. The young jonin of the Senju clan had little mission experience, fearing that he would be seriously injured by his dying counterattack, and was not prepared to fight him head-on, wanting to pull away and kill him with ninjutsu. In the end, he was killed by his sword, and the Blood Ninja himself was not feeling well, with a body full of injuries. The scar on his face was left at that time.
The young man in green clothes stood up, "I'm full of food and drink. Since you are stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless. I forgot to tell you, I'm Chiba Tobey, from the Chiba clan, and I'm the one who will kill you."
"Hehe." The Blood Ninja also stood up, and did not answer, his eyes staring fixedly at the rear of Chiba Tobey, as if there was someone there who was important to him.
Chiba Tobey showed suspicion and turned his head slightly to look.
"I just like you self-proclaimed great clan ninjas, it's so easy to deceive, haha." The Blood Ninja laughed triumphantly, and instantly completed the hand seals. Then, he raised his right hand with thick knuckles, with blood shining on it, and chopped at Chiba Tobey, who was turning his head.
Chiba Tobey was furious, "Despicable."
He quickly gathered chakra, but it was too late to use ninjutsu. He used the family's taijutsu and slapped back.
Boom!
The powerful chakra shockwave swept in all directions, and the tables and chairs on the second floor were shattered. Some ordinary people didn't have time to escape, and bled from their seven orifices, dying beyond death.
Fortunately, there were not many ordinary people eating here, so the casualties were not heavy.
After the sound, Chiba Tobey was blasted out of the second floor, staggering and falling on the uneven street, his clothes tattered and his face pale.
The next moment.
The Blood Ninja chased after him and continued to chop out a palm.
He shouted, "Taijutsu Demonic Blood Hand!"
The blood-colored chakra condensed into a palm print, suppressing Chiba Tobey, causing the chakra and blood in his whole body to stagnate, and his expression to become dull.
At the critical moment, Chiba Tobey bit the tip of his tongue, and gathered the chakra in his whole body in his palms, and greeted it again. He still had no chance to release ninjutsu.
"Taijutsu Fiery Yang Palm."
Chiba Tobey urged the chakra on his palms, and his palms emitted high temperatures. Wherever he passed, the air boiled violently, like water being boiled.
When the blood-colored palm print collided with his palms, the air twisted violently. Then, a strong chakra light burst out, wanting to shatter the blood-colored palm print. However, the palm print was extremely solid and firm, and had the effect of obliterating chakra. As soon as Chiba Tobey's chakra touched it, it was like spring snow meeting the scorching sun, melting and retreating. In the blink of an eye, 30% was obliterated, and the remaining 70% also collapsed and disintegrated at the touch of a button.
Puff!
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Chiba Tobey flew out in disbelief.
How could the Blood Ninja give up the great situation? As soon as his feet landed, he chased after him, laughing arrogantly, "My Demonic Blood Hand is an A-rank taijutsu, specializing in breaking the enemy's chakra. Moreover, you didn't accumulate power just now, so even if it is also an A-rank taijutsu, how much power can it exert? Die!"
"Blood Ninja, do you really think I'm the fish on the chopping board, at your mercy?" Hearing this, a ferocious look flashed across Chiba Tobey's face. In the process of retreating, he forcibly formed hand seals, and strands of chakra surrounded him. The Chiba family's S-rank ninjutsu, Sacrificial Spirit.
"This is our Chiba family's forbidden technique. It explodes the chakra of the whole body. No matter how heavy the injury is, it can be suppressed for an hour, restoring the state of full strength. Although it comes at the cost of the whole body being unable to move after the end, I must kill you now!" Chiba Tobey's eyes were red, almost crazy.
At this time, on a street not far away, the figure of a child walked slowly, frowning slightly when he saw this situation. "Someone got here first?" Kaito thought in his heart.
