Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 224 Weightlessness

Despite the sudden feeling of weightlessness, Toshiro remained completely calm.

"Ninja Art: Summoning Technique"

One of the most important reasons he hadn't used "Mountain Eagle" as their mount was that it could be used in an emergency.

Therefore, he specifically notified Minghong to stop the transportation of supplies for the next two days.

"Zuo Shandiao, capture them!"

As a large cloud of psychic smoke dissipated, a gigantic bald eagle appeared in the air.

As soon as it was summoned by Toshiro, it was prepared and immediately used its claws to grab Homura and the others who were in free fall.

At this moment, having lost their birds of prey, they were in dire straits. Being captured by Zuo Shandiao was a stroke of luck for them.

However, before he could even catch his breath, the Iwa ninja above couldn't possibly just stand by and watch them escape.

Each of them used every means at their disposal.

Looking at the rocks and explosive clay aimed at him and the bandit leader, Toshiro was really having a headache at this moment.

The rocks themselves are fine, but the explosive clay mixed in with them is a real problem.

Although he could use Lightning Release ninjutsu to turn the explosive clay into "duds," those rocks were not so easy to deal with.

Conversely, when dealing with this clay, these rocks are impossible to ignore.

"This is the only thing we can try!"

"The Mountain Eagle!"

"no problem!"

While thinking this, Toshiro shouted at the mountain eagle beneath him, and before receiving a response, he had already begun forming hand seals.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Waves"

As he completed the hand seal, colorless and transparent blades sliced ​​through the falling objects.

Moreover, the power displayed by these ninjutsu techniques is vastly different from that displayed by ordinary ninjas.

Those chakra wind blades, clearly visible in the Sharingan's vision, were all incredibly large, as wide as an ordinary person's waist.

It was Toshiro who used the chakra of the mountain eagle to perform the wind-style ninjutsu. Although the other party did not have the ability to perform any profound wind-style ninjutsu, Toshiro, who had signed a contract with him, could make good use of the other party's chakra.

It will replace it in performing ninjutsu.

As this ninjutsu was executed, it continuously sliced ​​the rocks and explosive clay in the sky into pieces, and Toshiro's hand seals did not stop.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"

Using the chakra of the Mountain Eagle once again, Toshiro unleashed this enhanced version of Wind Release, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

With these two ninjutsu as a buffer, they should be able to get through this ordeal safely.

The reason for using Wind Release is that the Mountain Eagle is a bird, and its chakra nature is wind.

At this point, Toshiro's chakra was quite low after a whole night of depletion.

"Hurry up! Don't linger here!"

Having just resolved the trouble in the sky, Toshiro had no intention of staying to seek revenge. Nor did he insist on continuing the mission.

If we don't slip away now, are we supposed to wait for them to invite us to their camp?

"receive!"

Upon receiving Toshiro's signal, the Mountain Eagle immediately spread its wide wings, creating a huge gust of wind pressure, and prepared to shoot out.

Although it cannot form hand seals because it has no arms, it can still increase its flight speed by unleashing chakra using its wings.

With a single flap of its wings, its figure vanishes from the spot at a speed incomprehensible to ordinary people.

But life is unpredictable, and things always tend to go in directions we don't want to see.

A figure that was invisible in the air suddenly appeared in Toshiro's blind spot.

Moreover, due to the effect of gravity, they were rapidly approaching him and Zuo Shandiao, who was flying in the air and preparing to leave.

"Earth Release·Rock Fist"

Before they could even reveal themselves, the opponent had already secretly formed hand seals and unleashed this ninjutsu developed by Iwagakure.

Moreover, instead of attacking Toshiro directly, he targeted the enormous bird.

When the opponent's entire right arm was covered with a layer of rock, and he used gravity to swoop down towards the mountain eagle, Toshiro also felt something.

This feeling, however, came a little too late!

By the time he looked up, his opponent was already less than 10 meters away. It was clearly too late for him to use ninjutsu at that point.

All they could do was unleash a barrage of shuriken and kunai at their opponent, trying to make them hesitate and abandon their plans.

However, this attacker, who was hidden in the air and bypassed Toshiro's Sharingan vision, clearly had no intention of giving up his attack.

He landed despite enduring Toshiro's attacks.

From the faint clanging sounds in the air, it was clear that the opponent had not only used an invisibility ninjutsu but also donned a layer of rock armor.

This made Toshiro's emergency attacks seem insignificant to the opponent.

"Gah!"

As the figure, whose entire body was radiating blue chakra light in Toshiro's vision, landed his fist on the Mountain Eagle.

At that moment, the large bird let out a painful cry.

At the same time, it lost its balance and plummeted towards the ground.

The opponent's rock fist was precisely aimed, striking the mountain eagle's wing root.

This completely rendered it unable to fly.

Before Toshiro could avenge the mountain eagle, the eagle had already lost its balance, forcing Toshiro to stop what he was doing and try to maintain his balance while trying to land safely.

After successfully striking, the opponent showed no sign of stopping, leaping off the mountain eagle's back and free-falling towards the ground.

He certainly wouldn't fall to his death; with a flying companion by his side, he was quite at ease.

He even gave Toshiro a stiff smile, as if to say: Kid, enjoy these last moments!

After succeeding, the attacker did not maintain the invisibility spell, which allowed Toshiro to recognize the attacker's identity.

He was a short Iwa ninja.

However, Toshiro had no time to ponder the other party's identity at this moment. He was currently considering whether there was any good way to get them to land, albeit reluctantly.
