Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 173 Gangshan

At this moment, Homura Uchiha, who was observing the battlefield from a distance to prevent the enemy from launching a sneak attack on him, also noticed that Toshiro was in a bad situation.

However, their situation turned unfavorable to Toshiro almost in the blink of an eye.

Even if she wanted to help, she couldn't get there in time.

He could only watch helplessly as Toshiro fell into the enemy's trap, his cute little face turning pale because of the sudden change in the battle.

Even the Sharingan in her eye sockets began to slowly rotate because of her nervousness!

On one hand, they were worried about the safety of their teammates, and on the other hand, they were worried about the battle on the field.

She knew that if Toshiro's situation changed, the other side could immediately free up a Jonin and a Special Jonin.

On their side, apart from themselves, they had absolutely no extra strength to fight against the other side.

Those unwise companions will only hold them back!

"call……"

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario didn't happen, and Toshiro successfully dodged the attack.

Her three-tomoe Sharingan, which had almost been startled out of her, slowly calmed down.

At this moment, Toshiro was standing upright in a strange pose, one foot on the hilt of his ninja sword.

The ninja sword in his hand was planted straight into the ground, and his entire weight was supported by this thin ninja sword.

"That was close!"

Seeing the sharp edge so close at hand, Toshiro couldn't help but break out in a sweat. It had been far too dangerous just now. If he hadn't taken advantage of the opening in that ninjutsu...

Using his ninja sword as a support to bear his entire weight, he was about to lose his life after landing.

Even so, his trousers near his calves were still torn by the sharp thorns of the stalagmites. Through these tears, one could faintly see blood seeping from his skin...

At this moment, Toshiro was extremely grateful that he was an Uchiha! If it weren't for the Sharingan's enhanced vision, he wouldn't have been able to seize the loophole in the ninjutsu so quickly, and he would have only suffered a minor scratch, thus successfully escaping this crisis!

Just as he was about to correct his current position, a rumbling sound, like an earth dragon turning over, came.

Immediately afterwards, the entire ground began to tremble slightly!

"This is?"

Seeing this sudden turn of events, he dared not hesitate for a moment and quickly landed on the ground, preparing to deal with the opponent's next attack.

Before he could even get his footing, the enemy launched a fierce attack, which was quite impressive and showed no sign of stopping until they killed him.

"What goes around comes around!"

Faced with the relentless attacks from his opponent, Toshiro was at a loss for words to describe his current feelings.

When he launched his sneak attack, his offensive was also like this, one step after another without interruption. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the opponent's attack on him had a similar effect.

This has made me constantly running around like a headless chicken!

Roar! !

Before he could even compose himself, two enormous creatures emerged from the ground and attacked him!

Looking at the two creatures made of earth and stone, covered with wild grass and vines, he didn't say anything and immediately turned and ran away without a word.

The ninjutsu his opponent was using was simply beyond his current tolerance. If he were in good condition, he could withstand those two attacks.

Just now~

Seeing these two dragon-shaped monsters, each over thirty meters long and three or four meters thick, emerging from the earth and swimming in the soil beneath them as if it were mud, all that could be done was to refute their attacks.

Since I'm currently short on mana, there's nothing I can do but run away as fast as I can.

It turns out that at this moment, the rock ninja hiding underground at Mount Kagami used an A-rank Earth Release: Double Earth Stone Dragon.

Earth Dragon Technique was originally a B-rank Earth Release ninjutsu. Its function was to create a giant earth dragon from the earth and launch an attack on enemies on the ground.

Thanks to the sheer weight of the earth element, few defensive ninjutsu can withstand this attack. Furthermore, it allows the earth in front of it to be imbued with the earth element, enabling it to move freely across the land as if taking a bath.

It has considerable destructive power!

Not to mention that this ninjutsu was specially enhanced by a Jonin from Okayama.

A typical Earth Dragon, when used, doesn't have such a large size, and can only create one Earth Dragon to attack the enemy at a time.

Right now, there are two beasts chasing after Toshiro.

This Jonin from Gangshan was quite talented, barely reaching the threshold of an elite Jonin, even though he was around thirty years old when he achieved this level.

However, his talent and hard work cannot be denied!

Compared to Konoha, whose master-disciple system is relatively well-established, Iwagakure is not as good in this regard. This is compounded by Iwagakure's relatively conservative atmosphere.

This meant that over the years, he hadn't acquired any profound secret techniques and could only focus all his energy on these not-so-advanced, conventional ninjutsu.

Of course, the exclusion by those ninja clans was also a factor!

The Iwagakure ninja are known for their unity, but this unity has also brought about a less than ideal consequence.

Those united Iwa ninja leaders will inevitably, intentionally or unintentionally, suppress ninjas of commoner origin for the sake of their own clan's interests.

Take Gangshan for example. Whether it was when he was promoted to Jonin or when he wanted to exchange for some high-level secret techniques after making meritorious contributions, he encountered a lot of difficulties.

When I was promoted to Jonin, it was alright; it just took two years. Although I was unhappy, I didn't suffer any real loss.

However, when he tried to exchange his desired secret techniques, the higher-ups would always find some inexplicable excuses to reject his application, making him hate these clan ninjas to the bone while feeling helpless!

He couldn't possibly kill all the village leaders in a fit of anger!

He didn't care, but he couldn't after he got a family!

To be honest, this kind of thing happens everywhere. Even in Konoha, there's always conflict between commoners and clan ninjas, isn't there?

Not to mention the Iwa ninja!
