Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 168 Balsam Flower Flame Bullet

Zi-Hai-Xu-Chou-Mao-Yin

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Flame Bullet!"

As the hand seals were completed, a large, highly concentrated ball of chakra fireball appeared.

The projectiles spun and compressed in front of Toshiro, transforming into fireballs the size of billiard balls that shot towards the backs of the Iwa ninja.

This is a fire-style ninjutsu that he developed himself after so many years of study. The inspiration came from the continuous fireballs that Naruto unleashed after going berserk during Pain's invasion of Konoha in the original work.

Of course, he couldn't fire dozens or hundreds of these highly compressed fire-style chakra projectiles at once like Naruto when he was wearing the Tailed Beast Cloak.

It's even less likely that this move could be used continuously to launch a saturation attack on the enemy.

This ninjutsu is a practical offensive ninjutsu that he developed by combining the Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique passed down in the Uchiha clan with the principles of the Fourth Hokage's Rasengan.

It retains the original Phoenix Flower Ninjutsu's characteristics of numerous attacks and controllable trajectory, and has made significant progress in attack speed and power.

The original Phoenix Fire Technique could only control fireballs the size of soccer balls to launch some harmless attacks on the enemy, forcing them to move or restricting their movement trajectory.

However, now, those principles copied from the Rasengan have been used to compress and rotate these fireballs, making them even more powerful.

Of course, considering the difficulty of combining fire-style chakra with the Rasengan, and the balance of the energy consumption of casting the technique, he also made some trade-offs.

There is no way to perfectly integrate changes in properties and changes in form; that would be too difficult.

However, when this technique hits its target, the highly concentrated and rotating fire-attribute chakra still causes a small-scale explosion, forming fireballs that are two or three meters square.

At the same time, this ninjutsu, because of these smaller, constantly rotating fireballs, becomes even faster and its trajectory is harder to dodge.

"Watch out! Someone's attacking from behind!"

Just as Toshiro began to mobilize his chakra and prepare to unleash his ninjutsu, Aoyama, a sensory ninja who had been observing the surroundings warily at his captain's request, did not participate in the battle.

He immediately noticed the anomaly behind him. Before he could even wonder why there was someone behind him, his expression changed drastically, and he became anxious, issuing a warning to his teammates.

"dodge!!!"

His superior, the experienced Jonin of Okayama, had already sensed it when he issued the warning, relying on his intuition honed over the years, having struggled on the brink of life and death several times.

Experienced veteran Jonin like them possess incredibly sharp combat instincts, making it extremely difficult to catch them off guard with simple sneak attacks.

Like right now!

But by the time he turned to observe, it was already too late. Looking at the numerous, luscious-looking fireballs that resembled the fruits of balsam flowers, he sensed the danger they contained.

Having no time to use his ninjutsu, he could only shout out those two syllables at the top of his lungs.

Toshiro, who had just launched an attack, did not stop what he was doing. Instead, he reached into his ninja tool pouch, took out eight kunai, held four in each hand, and threw them at his opponent.

There wasn't much precise aiming either.

Because time is limited at this time!

His hands didn't stop moving at all; instead, he smoothly formed several hand seals while unleashing his chakra.

As he completed the hand seals, his chakra exploded, and the kunai he had thrown out multiplied from eight to sixteen, then from sixteen to thirty-two...

Finally, it transformed into a rain of kunai, carrying a chilling killing intent, like a merciless downpour, pouring down upon the Iwa ninja who were still dodging the Phoenix Flower Flame Bullets.

"Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

At this moment, Toshiro casually uttered the name of this ninjutsu, which was developed by the Third Hokage based on the principle of the Shadow Clone Technique.

Although he couldn't use this ninjutsu to the level of an S-rank ninjutsu like Minato Namikaze, he could still inflict a wave of area-of-effect (AOE) damage on these Iwa ninjas at this moment.

At the same time, he, who deeply loved one-shot sex, did not stop what he was doing. He understood the simple principle of taking advantage of someone's weakness to finish them off.

If we don't take advantage of this moment to strike while the enemy is down, are we going to wait until they regroup and then fight them head-on?

A flash of crimson light appeared in his eyes. Having locked onto part of his enemy's form using his Sharingan, Toshiro's expression was cold and devoid of mercy as he continued forming hand seals:

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!"

Chant!

With that dragon's roar, five incredibly powerful fiery dragon heads flew towards the Iwa ninja who were still dodging Toshiro's first two waves of attacks.

At the same time, while using ninjutsu, Toshiro didn't stay in place, but instead leaped into the air.

There are several reasons for doing this. One is to give the Dragon Flame Song Technique more room to be used. Another reason is that he just sensed a trace of disharmonious energy rapidly approaching him from underground.

Sure enough, just as he leaped into the air, a thick arm burst forth from the ground and grabbed the afterimage that Toshiro had left behind.

Just by looking at the bulging muscles and veins on that arm, one can tell how terrifying the strength of its owner is.

If he hadn't dodged in time and had continued to use his ninjutsu in place, the outcome wouldn't have been so pleasant.

Meanwhile, the Iwa ninja, who were dodging Toshiro's Phoenix Flower Flame Bullet and the subsequent barrage of kunai, were now facing the Dragon Flame Song Technique.

Their situation is undoubtedly being exacerbated!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions rang out from among them, along with bursts of orange-red flames that engulfed the Iwa ninja who had no time to dodge.

Although most of the Iwa ninjas, thanks to warnings from their superiors and sensory ninjas, successfully dodged Toshiro's first wave of attacks.

But there were always five or six Iwa ninja who were either inexperienced or made mistakes in their haste. After enduring a wave of explosions that weren't particularly powerful, they were then engulfed by the ensuing flames.

He let out a desperate and painful roar before his death!
