Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 145 Crossbow

Today is a beautiful day; the sky is clear and cloudless.

The person and the bird, flying high in the sky, were completely unaware.

On the high mountain below him, a group of people had been waiting for him for nearly half a month.

The purpose was to ambush them here.

Although the eagle had received Toshiro's warning, it clearly didn't take it too seriously.

Even at that time, it was still leisurely soaring with outstretched wings. As for increasing its altitude, it was doing so, but the increase was not significant.

Meanwhile, Toshiro, the master, was also distracted, pondering the movements of the camp in order to plan for his own future.

Neither of them noticed that at that moment, a crossbow bolt more than two meters long was struggling against gravity and shooting towards them.

Just by looking at its bright blue color, you can tell that it is covered with local specialties from Sunagakure.

Boo!

With eyesight far exceeding that of ordinary creatures, "Mountain Eagle" finally discovered the deadly threat when the crossbow bolt was fired not far below him.

After hastily issuing a warning, it hurriedly flapped its wings, trying to change its posture in hopes of avoiding the sudden attack.

"Oh no!"

Meanwhile, Toshiro, who was on the eagle's back, also sensed the fear in the 'Mountain Eagle' and could only hurriedly activate his Sharingan to observe the sudden situation.

But at this point, what use would it be if he awakened the Sharingan? Unless he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and it had to be a space-time type like Obito's, there was no way he could possibly extricate himself from the current predicament.

With his abnormal dynamic vision, Toshiro watched as the dangerous crossbow bolt approached him slowly, and at the same time, he analyzed its attack trajectory.

In less than two seconds, the crossbow bolt will strike "Mountain Eagle." At that point, without his summoned beast, he'll be... well, you know.

call out!

clang!

Two distinct sounds rang out from high above!

As the crossbow bolts, sharp as spears, passed by them and "Mountain Eagle," both Toshiro and "Mountain Eagle" breathed a sigh of relief.

"You dodged it!" x2

It turned out that in the most critical moment, Toshiro didn't even have time to reach behind his waist for a kunai, and directly threw his tachi, scabbard and all, at the crossbow bolt.

With his extraordinary dynamic vision and the reflexes he had honed through years of tireless effort, he accurately struck it.

They successfully changed its trajectory, causing it to pass them by!

"That was close!"

He was just about to reach out and wipe the cold sweat that had broken out on his body when he was startled, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief.

Peng!

A violent explosion rang out from above Toshiro.

Which crossbow bolt passed by them?

After missing its target, the crossbow bolt that had just passed by them exploded into a raging fireball high in the air.

Before Toshiro could even finish speaking, the shock that had just welled up in his heart was forced out of his throat!

call out!call out!call out!

A dense cluster of tiny metal needles shot towards Toshiro and "Mountain Eagle".

It turns out that when designing this crossbow, the puppeteers of Sunagakure had already considered what to do if it missed its target.

After much deliberation, they decided to install some puppet mechanisms on the crossbow bolt so that it could automatically detonate at a pre-set time.

While this significantly increases the difficulty of manufacturing the crossbow bolt, the benefits it brings are undoubtedly enormous.

For example, Toshiro was caught in a dilemma at this moment.

The crossbow bolt exploded not far from him, less than twenty meters away.

With his skills, he could easily block the barrage of needles aimed at him, but the "Mountain Eagle" beneath him would be in danger.

This guy is too big, and he's in the air, so it's inconvenient for me to move around, and I don't have time to use ninjutsu.

If a single steel needle were to strike the body of "Mountain Eagle," the consequences would be extremely troublesome.

Although its size limits the actual damage caused by these steel needles, given the nature of the Sand Village, it's almost certain that those needles are coated with a potent poison.

He himself is currently high in the sky, leaning against a scorpion that has been poisoned, and the result is...

"Shacheng! Well done!"

Seeing the large bird through the telescope, they dodged the crossbow bolts. At first, they were a little disappointed because this opportunity was so rare.

However, when they saw that although the enemy had dodged the crossbow bolt, they were overjoyed when the bolt exploded as they had expected.

They knew that the opportunity they had waited for so long, enduring tedium and boredom, had finally been rewarded for their efforts over the past two weeks.

In this situation, given the size of that large bird, it would be impossible for it to completely avoid all attacks.

Its fate was sealed the moment the crossbow bolt exploded.

The poison applied to that crossbow bolt was extracted from a mutated scorpion they had carefully selected from the Death Desert.

Based on their understanding, regardless of the creature, even a giant spirit beast, if it suffers even a minor scratch and this poison enters its body, it will immediately become paralyzed, unable to move, and completely at the mercy of its prey.

If this kind of venomous scorpion weren't so rare and impossible to cultivate artificially, Sunagakure wouldn't have been in such a passive position in this war.

Yes, the bluish sheen on this crossbow bolt wasn't the deadly poison Toshiro had imagined, but rather a special anesthetic.

However, considering the current environment in which the other party is located, the effect it can play is more useful than any deadly poison.

Keep in mind that the other person is currently more than 2000 meters in the air. As long as they are unable to move, their falling speed will increase due to gravity as they descend.

Even though he was a powerful figure at the Shadow level, in the end he could only turn into a pile of minced meat.

At this moment, the team that had been lying in ambush for a long time no longer hesitated and revealed themselves.

The reason for hiding was to prevent the giant spirit beast from discovering their whereabouts and to prepare in advance.

By this point, everything else is irrelevant...
