Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 166 Rock Iron Cannon

Sensory ninjutsu is an extremely important category within the ninja system.

In actual combat, it becomes exceptionally important.

Generally, it can be divided into chakra perception, mental perception, and the five senses perception. There are also some who sense the presence of enemies through their own ninja beasts or secret techniques.

However, most of these sensory ninjutsu share a common characteristic: they require one to concentrate one's energy and utilize the power of chakra to amplify this talent.

This allows one to expand their perception range to a greater distance, enabling them to discover others before they do.

When you sense something, you should generally remain still and mobilize your chakra to maximize the range and accuracy of your perception.

Otherwise, apart from the slightest movement around oneself, no one can be aware of the activity over a wide area 24 hours a day.

Whether it's Toshiro or the Iwa ninja who's sensing something amiss, both are no exception.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

As the Iwa ninja named Aoya marked out the suspicious locations one by one, the Uchiha clan members hiding in the forest finally revealed themselves.

At this point, there was no longer any need for them to hide. Since that was the case, they might as well reveal themselves openly.

Moreover, after revealing themselves, these people did not hesitate at all and launched a round of mid-to-long-range attacks on them, including shuriken, kunai, and explosive tags.

The group of Uchiha ninjas were mostly around twelve years old, with the oldest being no more than fifteen. There were fourteen of them in total, putting them at a clear disadvantage compared to the others.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! I never expected that among these brats, there would actually be two ninjas with bloodline limits! This is wonderful! It seems that my collection will soon have two more pairs of priceless collectibles!"

Seeing that the other party had launched an attack on them without any hesitation after being detected by the sensory ninja, the veteran Jonin named Gangshan remained completely calm.

He merely lowered his eyelids slightly, avoiding eye contact with the two Uchiha clan members who possessed the Sharingan, while simultaneously reminding his companions, "Everyone, be careful not to look directly into the eyes of those two bloodstained ninjas, and watch out for their genjutsu!"

"Yes! Jonin of Okayama!"

While answering his superior's reminder, he hid behind the earthwork wall created by his teammates.

"Be careful, their shurikenjutsu is also extremely skilled. Watch out for the movements of those kunai with explosive tags!"

Seemingly recalling something unpleasant, the Jonin of Iwa ninja's expression darkened as he continued to remind his subordinates, while his hands remained still.

He deflected several kunai in mid-air and shot them down from behind the earthen wall. These were his comrades, who had paid for this lesson with their own lives.

When their team first encountered these Uchiha, some of their companions had let their guard down while hiding behind the Earth Release: Earth Wall, and thus lost their lives to the unpredictable shuriken techniques.

In particular, the kunai with explosive tags attached to their tail rings caused heavy casualties to their team, allowing the enemy to easily gain the upper hand and defeat their team.

Fortunately, with the cover of his companions, he had a chance to escape, but his companions at that time...

Whenever he thinks about this, he can't help but feel emotionally fluctuating!

"Second battle plan! First, deplete their chakra from a distance, then finish them off in close combat!"

He had just taken a close look and found that the opponents were generally quite young and their chakra was definitely insufficient. As long as he dealt with them for a while, those brats would be like naked beauties, at his mercy.

There is no threat whatsoever!

The only thing to worry about are those two ninjas who have awakened their own bloodline limits; we need to be a little careful with them.

However, once their companions are all dead, they will be nothing more than fish on a chopping board!

"Earth Release: Rock Gun!"

At this moment, a large group of nearly twenty Iwa ninja simultaneously formed hand seals and spat out stone spheres, each about the size of a date pit and filled with earth-style chakra.

As these small balls were spat out of their mouths, they slowly began to change nature under the influence of chakra, turning into millstone-sized flying stones that hurtled towards the group of Uchiha brats.

This is the standard offensive tactic of the Iwa ninja. They utilize their earth-attribute abilities to create defensive positions that envelop them, and then use this low-cost, long-range ninjutsu to wear down the enemy.

Thanks to the advantage of their Rock Cannon ninjutsu, the Iwa ninja are practically walking catapults. Whether in fortified defenses or ordinary skirmishes, they can gain the upper hand relatively easily.

Moreover, this ninjutsu has another characteristic: the more people involved, the more impressive the spectacle becomes when it is performed.

No matter what kind of mountain fortress it is, given time, they are confident they can destroy its defenses.

For example, right now, a large group of nearly twenty flying stones, some the size of millstones and others as big as cartwheels, were hurled at the ground with a devastating force, covering a distance of tens or even hundreds of meters.

"Watch out! Everyone, get out of the way!"

If it were just a few flying stones, it would be easier to deal with, but now nearly twenty stone projectiles are flying over, and they don't have any good solutions.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

The female ninja in the lead gave the order with a hint of helplessness! At the same time, she cast a Great Fireball Technique, hoping to slow down the stone projectiles and buy time for her comrades.

These stone projectiles are quite troublesome. Due to their size and the potential energy they carry during flight, ordinary C-rank fire-style ninjutsu and shuriken are not very effective against them.

Even the Great Fireball, due to its own properties and the excessive dispersion of chakra, can only slow down their flight speed, but cannot destroy them.

Using powerful fire-style ninjutsu to defend against these attacks would be too inefficient.

With her chakra reserves, she could only unleash about two B-rank ninjutsu before reaching her limit. Wasting it here would be a waste.

This would put our side in a very unfavorable position when we finally engage in direct combat.
