Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 174 Earth Dragon

"That's really ferocious!"

He glanced back and saw the massive earthen dragon charging menacingly towards him.

Toshiro couldn't help but break out in a sweat, his throat felt dry, and he swallowed hard.

It seems that this Jonin from Iwa ninja really hates him to the bone, and when he gets angry, every move is deadly, giving him no chance of escape.

"This is terrible!"

He had just turned around, and hadn't gotten very far, when he looked up again and couldn't help but sigh. It was truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly.

At this critical moment when he was trying to escape, a short, stocky figure was standing in front of him.

His right arm was half-baked, and he was tightly gripping the incredibly heavy dark brown stone rod in his hand, squinting as he waited for his arrival.

Thanks to that Jonin from Okayama who stopped us!

The opponent had already broken free from the Naraku Sight Technique that Toshiro had just used and was secretly gathering his strength to launch another attack.

They're like people waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump!

The two earthen dragons opposite him formed a pincer movement, trapping Toshiro completely.

If things go wrong, he could end up dying here!

Faced with the deadly situation before him, Toshiro, who was fleeing for his life, had no choice but to grit his teeth and risk everything.

One-handed hand seal!

Then, seven or eight Toshiro figures appeared around him, hiding his true form among them, and began to prepare to break through from the left, right and above of the enemy.

At the same time, without stopping, he threw a large shuriken towards the opponent's position.

Hopefully, this will slightly distract the opponent, preventing the special Jonin from having time to carefully distinguish these clones.

That's right, what he just used was the Shadow Clone Technique, one of the Three Body Techniques taught at the Ninja Academy, which was just a phantom created by a mass of chakra.

A skilled Jonin could easily detect this ninjutsu with just a little discernment. This is why Toshiro added a shuriken attack as well.

His situation was critical at that moment!

To dodge the ninjutsu behind him and the poised attack of the special Jonin on the other side, it would be fine if he were in his prime, but at this moment when his legs were a little weak, this was the only option he could use.

Hopefully, I can blend in and get away with it.

Ding!Ding!Ding!

As expected!

The shuriken that Toshiro threw was easily blocked by the opponent's stone stick. Judging from the opponent's ease of handling it, it was as if the weapon in his hand was just a wooden stick.

Fortunately, after his shuriken distracted the opponent, it was too late for them to carefully discern his clone technique.

This allowed Toshiro to blend into his clones and pass by the opponent in a flash, leaving only two clones behind, which were then destroyed by the opponent and turned into white smoke.

Toshiro's response was quite reliable. And the Three Body Technique truly lives up to its reputation as a fundamental ninjutsu emphasized by the Ninja Academy.

Not only does it have the advantages of short hand seal time and low energy consumption, but in such emergency situations, this simple and practical ninjutsu is also needed to save lives.

Before he could recover from his elation at escaping, Toshiro's expression turned rather grim.

We had just moved about ten meters away from the opponent's attack range.

Toshiro stopped in his tracks, standing still, while his Sharingan began to scan his surroundings.

At the same time, he stopped fleeing!

"Damn it! This Iwa ninja, he really doesn't hold back until he strikes, and when he does, every move is deadly, leaving me breathless!"

It's not that he doesn't want to escape now, it's just that the current situation doesn't allow it.

Right in front of him, within the Sharingan's vision, a vast expanse of chakra covered almost all his possible escape routes.

He casually tossed a shuriken up to test the waters!

The shuriken, which weighed less than an ounce, sank to the ground in front of him very quickly, without even a bubble appearing.

No wonder the special Jonin who had just blocked his way didn't seem frustrated at all about his successful escape.

At first, Toshiro thought that the other party was caught off guard and had no time to react, or that the illusion had left some residual effects on the other party, which was why there was no change in his expression.

Now it seems they already knew about the changes here and were waiting for them!

I was secretly pleased with my handling of the situation, but now it seems that it was all part of their plan.

It turns out that the semi-circular ground in front of Toshiro had been tampered with by Okayama, the Jonin of Iwa ninja who is still hiding underground.

Just from the reaction of the shuriken that was just thrown onto that piece of land, one can tell that the opponent used a very practical and high-level ninjutsu.

Earth Escape·Huangquan Marsh

This is a very important ninjutsu in Earth Release.

This ninjutsu, once unleashed, can turn a large area of ​​land into a deadly trap teeming with killing intent.

On the surface, these swamps, transformed by earth magic, are no different from ordinary land, maintaining the calm they were before the spell was cast.

However, this soil, having undergone a change in its earth-like properties, became incredibly soft, like a swamp, making it difficult for enemies who stepped into it to escape.

In addition, to enhance the binding force of the swamp, some individual ninjas would add special functions to the soft mud.

It's about firmly binding those enemies who try to break free to this swamp, so that their opponents can only struggle in vain, watching themselves slowly sink until they finally suffocate.

If it weren't for Toshiro's Sharingan's ability to see chakra and detect the danger beforehand, his fate would have been dire if he hadn't been caught off guard by the carefully laid trap he had just narrowly escaped.

"That was dangerous!"

Hiddenly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Toshiro sighed, these old foxes are all incredibly cunning.

Fighting this kind of person, if you're not careful, you probably won't even know how you died!

But now, the situation I'm facing has become somewhat difficult to handle.

Turning around, he saw the Iwa Ninja Special Jonin who had completely blocked his way, and the two Earth Dragons that charged towards him without any hesitation.

It seems the other party has no intention of communicating with me at all!

That's right. I've killed so many of their comrades. There's no need for us to communicate anymore. It's either you or me who lives!
