Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 172 Stone Bamboo Shoots

Unlike the slow-progressing Yang Dun.

Over the years, Toshiro's Yin Release skills have improved rapidly, and his illusionary abilities have also reached a new level.

He is not only proficient in his family's Sharingan genjutsu, but also in some genjutsu of the five senses.

His main research subjects were, in particular, the three types of illusions: visual, auditory, and tactile.

Visual illusions are alright; they have a slight connection to the Sharingan, and I even have one in my own collection.

Auditory and tactile illusions are relatively rare!

Thanks to his Uchiha identity and the help of his teacher Shigemasa, he was able to find some information from the family collection.

As for olfactory and gustatory illusions, even within the Uchiha clan, which possesses a wealth of family collections, there is little material available for them to learn.

Only a brief introduction...

All I can say is that these two illusions are extremely rare!

Throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village, it's estimated that only the Kurama clan possesses some related collections. However, he wasn't sure whether the genjutsu in these collections had any practical value in combat.

Smell and taste, compared to illusions which can be directly applied in actual combat, are more suitable for use when prepared.

This has led to their inheritance being intermittent and unstable. At the same time, the constraints of their application methods have also made the already scarce genjutsu ninjas lack interest in learning these two types of genjutsu.

……

brush!

A streak of snow-white light, originating from Toshiro, aimed directly at the vital point of this Iwa ninja.

Seeing his opponent trapped in his illusion, Toshiro, who had just created distance between himself and his opponent, immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to prepare for the final strike.

Click! Click!

Just then, he heard a sound of earth and stones rubbing together.

This caused Toshiro, who had just arrived in front of the Iwa ninja and was trying to dispel the genjutsu, to change his expression.

He silently exclaimed to himself, "They're here!"

Although he was somewhat prepared for the Jonin from Gangshan to choose him as a target, given his current state and the trouble he had just caused, the other party was very likely to come after him.

He hadn't expected that the other party would choose this moment to launch an attack, and that the timing would be so precise.

It was precisely when he used the "Body Flicker Technique" to prepare to finish off this special Jonin.

You should know that he had just activated the "Body Instant Technique," and his entire body was in a straight line, instantly moving towards the opponent's location.

At that moment, the Jonin from Gangshan was able to create an Earth Release obstacle to shield the Iwa ninja.

If you make a mistake, you might end up flashing into a wall again!

As for why it's "again"!

This happened frequently during his games in his previous life.

However, he couldn't handle experiencing it firsthand in the ninja world!

With the speed of the "Instantaneous Movement Technique," if you are interrupted and hit a wall midway, it won't just be like in the game in my previous life, where you might only lose a chance to escape or affect the outcome of a team battle.

In the ninja world, a ninja's ability to instantly crash into a wall, if done without any warning, is no less dangerous than crashing into a speeding heavy truck.

He crashed into it himself!

The outcome was far from pleasant!

As expected of a veteran Jonin, his experience is truly abundant. He made Toshiro suffer quite a bit with just one move.

The timing was absolutely brilliant!

Fortunately, Toshiro wasn't completely unprepared; he didn't use his fastest speed when he attacked.

At the same time, through the high-definition perspective of the Sharingan, he also discovered an anomaly in his path. In addition, there were the results of his many years of arduous training and the activation of his physical body.

He simply extended his free left hand, gently used the edge of the obstacle for leverage, performed a 360-degree spin, and flew over the obstacle.

Although he successfully dodged the attack, Toshiro dared not let his guard down for a moment. How could an attack from a Jonin be limited to this level?

Sure enough, before he even landed, Toshiro, still in the air, saw the change in his landing point through his Sharingan.

brush!brush!brush!

He threw three shuriken in succession, shooting them towards a spot not far from him. Then, with a flick of his wrist, his figure shifted about ten meters away from the direction of the shuriken.

From the faint, intermittent threads connecting the swords in the air, one could tell that he had just managed to dodge another attack by relying on these threads.

At the same time, to strengthen the connection between the shuriken and the soil on the grass, he also transferred a trace of chakra through specially made threads in his hands. This allowed the shuriken to grip the ground more firmly, preventing them from losing their anchor point midway through their drift.

"not good!"

Before he even landed, a sense of danger gripped his heart, making him feel as if he had thorns in his back.

Looking down, he saw four dark brown, hard, slender protrusions, like bamboo shoots, growing rapidly beneath his feet.

If he has no way to change the trajectory of his landing, his fate is predictably tragic.

By this time, he had already changed his landing point once using his shuriken and the special steel wire, and it was clearly too late to change direction again.

"I never expected the other side to have set up an ambush here!"

Looking at those things that were growing "slowly" in the Sharingan's vision, he knew that the growth rate of those spikes only appeared slow in the Sharingan's vision; in reality, their growth rate was incredibly fast.

If I were to fall to the ground like this, I would definitely be pierced through like a blood gourd.

The ninjutsu used by the opponent was also a simple C-rank ninjutsu:

Earth Escape: Earth Stone Bamboo

The effect of this ninjutsu is to cause four sharp, earthen spikes, shaped like newly sprouted bamboo shoots, to grow from the ground.

These slender spikes will pierce the enemy who falls into the center of the ninjutsu from four directions: front, back, left, and right, using their hard, iron-like spikes to pierce the opponent's waist.

That's truly vicious!

Clang!

Just as Toshiro landed, the four rapidly growing stalagmites completed their growth. The four stalagmites, which had grown from different directions and were growing towards the center, merged together, emitting a trembling sound like metal weapons clashing.

The term "bamboo shoot" generally refers to the tender sprouts of bamboo, but it can also be used metaphorically to describe a woman's slender, jade-like hands.

It was also a general term for the horizontal beam used to hang musical instruments such as bells, chimes, and gongs in ancient times.
