From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 84 Who says infiltration has to be done stealthily?

The atmosphere on the ship froze instantly.

Moreover, a faint smell of blood seemed to seep out from the thick fog that permeated the surroundings.

A chilling killing intent surged with the current, waves crashed against the hull, and water droplets flew everywhere.

The seemingly honest, dark-skinned, and short middle-aged man curled his lips into a cruel sneer: "Uchiha Muneki, how dare you! You don't even bother to disguise yourself and just openly step into our Hidden Mist Village. Do you really think we're blind?"

"Ah?"

Uchiha Muneki seemed surprised, raising an eyebrow: "I didn't expect to become so famous? Even the lowly thugs of Kirigakure know my name."

A lowly henchman?
A vein bulged on the man's forehead, his dark face contorted with muscles, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't underestimate me, I'm not some nobody!"

As a fellow ninja, being looked down upon in this way ignited a surge of anger within me.

"When you get to hell, remember to mention my name!"

Biting his index finger, the man summoned a strangely shaped large sword and sneered, "One of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Exploding Blade Spray—Ishikawa Takeo!"

He swung the peculiar broadsword, which resembled a door panel, half a circle around it, and then, using the centrifugal force of the rotation, swung it horizontally.

call!
With a heavy whooshing sound, the greatsword was extremely powerful and full of force.

It looked as if it was about to cut the person in front of it in half, and suddenly a violent shockwave was generated.

As the thick blade was about to strike, Uchiha Muneki remained completely calm. With lightning speed, he raised his hand and emerged from his loose sleeve, gently pinching two fingers together as if plucking a delicate flower. His movements were gentle and slow, yet perfectly timed.

Zheng!
The thick blade was easily held between two fingers.

Takeo Ishikawa's pupils dilated in shock, seemingly completely unprepared for this scene. His all-out attack had been so easily intercepted.

He seemed defiant, his hands bulging with veins as he ate with all his might.

Unfortunately, the thick blade of the Exploding Blade Flying Foam seemed to have encountered an indestructible city wall, and was held between those two fingers, unable to budge an inch.

"court death!"

Takeo Ishikawa hardened his heart, his eyes flashing with a fierce light: "Don't think that just because you're strong you can do whatever you want. My Exploding Blade Spray isn't so easy to touch!"

The thick, black blade was covered with a dense array of explosive tags that suddenly spread out from the back of the blade.

*Screech. Rumble!*
The massive explosion shattered the deck into pieces.

Countless wood chips flew, and amidst the raging flames, a huge torrent was churned up on the water's surface.

Takeo Ishikawa leaped backward and landed on the water, his feet splashing in the surging waves. Gazing at the deck engulfed in flames from the explosion, he couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, what Uchiha Muneki? So he's nothing special after all. I took care of him so easily!"

At such close range, being hit head-on by a flying blade droplet would result in almost zero chance of survival.

After all, ninjas are creatures that are generally high in attack and low in defense.

Even the most powerful ninja couldn't withstand the explosive force of dozens of explosive tags detonating simultaneously!

At least, he had never seen it.

"Hmph, Dong Siren is indeed a piece of trash. Uchiha Munezuki is nothing special either."

Standing on the turbulent sea, Takeo Ishikawa, carrying the explosive blade, felt an increasing disdain for Iwagakure: "Konoha has fallen. The Uchiha clan these days is only at this level. It seems I can suggest to the Mizukage that we change our plans when we get back."

Just as he was about to leave, he saw a figure slowly emerge from the thick fog rising from the firelight.

"As expected, you have already joined forces with Iwagakure."

Uchiha Muneki emerged from the thick fog, his clothes spotless and without a speck of dust. He pushed up his glasses and said, "Looks like I'm in pretty good shape today. I haven't even reached Kirigakure yet, and I'm already halfway through the mission."

"No, that's impossible."

Ishikawa Takeo stared at the scene in disbelief, his eyes wide: "You were clearly hit by the explosive blade's spray, so why... are you completely unharmed?!"

"Want to know?"

Uchiha Munetsuki suppressed the upward curve of his lips, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. *Gulp*
For some reason, Takeo Ishikawa's heart raced, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

The unease grew stronger, like a life hanging by a thread, causing cold sweat to seep out and soak his clothes.

"Don't try to fool me!"

Soon, Ishikawa Takeo couldn't withstand the pressure any longer and charged forward, yelling, "You must have used illusion magic just now! That's right, the information from Higashi Dead mentioned that your specialty is illusion magic!"

The explosive blade sprayed with tremendous force, crashing down like a mountain pressing down.

In order to ensure a fatal blow, he even went so far as to consume a large amount of chakra and summon the maximum number of explosive tags.

Both sides of the thick, black blade were covered with densely packed explosive tags. As one of the tags ignited, the explosive blade sprayed down as if wrapped in flames, carrying a deadly and dangerous aura.

"Exploding Blade Technique - Bursting and Strangling Death!"

The broad blade was inches away, but it was blocked by a layer of chakra rising like flames around Uchiha Muneki.

Boom! ! !

Even more violent than the last explosion, it directly covered an area of ​​tens of meters.

A giant wave nearly ten meters high was directly churned up on the sea surface. The terrifying explosion and flames were like demons, evaporating a large amount of water vapor. The visible, raging air currents pushed the seawater outwards from the two people, forming a semi-circular area that was almost concave.

The surging waves roared like the angry roar of the sea.

Riding the shockwave, Takeo Ishikawa, who was also thrown back, left a clear trail on the sea surface. Panting, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and stared nervously at the center of the explosion: "Damn it... he should be dead this time, right?"

However, Uchiha Muneki emerged once again from the ripples of water rising from the center of the explosion.

"what on earth is it?"

Ishikawa Takeo's pupils dilated violently, his face contorted in horror, and he screamed, "Uchiha Munetsuki, what did you do to me? What kind of genjutsu is this?"

Yes, he believed that everything happening before his eyes was an illusion.

Otherwise, how can we explain why the explosive blade clearly hit the target, yet the opponent was completely unharmed?

"Unfortunately, this is reality."

Uchiha Muneki remained calm and said indifferently, "Dealing with a small fry like you isn't worth me using genjutsu."

As he spoke, the chakra burning around him became even more intense.

Unseen forces drew in the surrounding atmosphere, creating waves of wind and rain out of nowhere.

Huhuhu——!
Suddenly, even larger waves surged up on the sea surface within a radius of tens of meters around him.

The raging waves roared and surged, producing a deafening boom.

"Aren't you curious?"

In Uchiha Munezuki's blood-red eyes, three tomoe spun rapidly before merging into one: "How exactly did I manage to escape unscathed from your exploding blade spray?"

咕咚
Takeo Ishikawa felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body felt frozen.

"Originally, I wouldn't have needed to use this tactic to deal with you."

Uchiha Muneki clenched his fist suddenly, and his surging chakra burst forth like a torrent, his aura exploding like a mountain: "But for the first time in a long time, I'm all alone, so... I'll indulge myself a little."

boom! ! !
The burning chakra flames suddenly solidified into a physical form.

A faint golden skeleton began to grow tendons and flesh, eventually donning a tough suit of armor, standing on the sea like a giant god from ancient mythology.

Uchiha Muneki stood inside the giant's body, and a line of blood flowed from the Sharingan eyes, which resembled four windmills.

"Susanoo!"

March 11th, sunny

I used to scoff at superstition, but now I wish I could kneel before the God of Wealth's temple forever... I've waited all these years for this opportunity, please, God of Wealth, let me win!
