I, who just wanted to be lazy, was forced to become the Hokage.

Chapter 113 Art is Patrick Star!

The supersonic, jet-black bullets swiftly sliced ​​through the air and arrived before the attacking ninjas.

Having escaped the range of the Dark Travel Technique, the attacking ninjas had already raised their vigilance to the highest level.

Unfortunately, Nara Rinka's [Spiral Shadow Piercing Bullet] attack speed was simply too fast.

In just one glance.

Two Spiral Shadow Piercing Bullets pierced the upper chests of the two attacking ninjas who had escaped from the darkness. The spiraling, black bullets, carrying thick blood, left their bodies, taking their lives with them.

However, the Spiral Shadow Piercing Bullet that attacked the other two ninjas failed to achieve the desired effect.

puff!puff!

The black bullets struck the two attacking ninjas, but only produced two dull thuds as if they had hit some incredibly thick leather, and then had no further effect.

It is clear that the latter two ninjas possess some kind of specific defensive ninjutsu.

Just like the Earth Release: Earth Spear technique mastered by Nara Rinka.

"So they really are ninjas from Iwagakure!"

Nara Rinka narrowed his eyes and examined the headbands on the heads of the two remaining ninjas.

"Plus that ability to blast mountains just now..."

"You are Iwagakure's special demolition unit?"

"A few days ago, near Konoha Village, I was beaten so badly by the Third Hokage that I had to run away with my head in my hands."

"Instead of fleeing back to Iwagakure and hiding, you actually had the audacity to venture into the Land of Fire?"

Kari and Hikari, both belonging to the Iwagakure Explosives Squad, are also two outstanding elite Jonin.

They originally planned to lead six subordinates to ambush the Konoha ninja on their way back, thereby weakening Konoha's strength.

But what they didn't expect was that the trap they had set in advance was seen through by Bai Yan.

Then another monstrous figure appeared, possessing superhuman strength, illusions, and a variety of attacks.

The Iwagakure demolition team hadn't even had a chance to launch an effective attack on the Konoha ninja.

The six Chunin subordinates led by Kari and Hikari had already died in the Konoha ninja's counterattack...

This situation inevitably led both Hunter and Firelight to consider a strategic retreat.

However, Nara Langui's words were truly unpleasant to hear.

What's even harder to accept is that... everything the other party said was the truth.

Although Hunt and Firelight were very unhappy, they couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Taking advantage of the distraction caused by the words, Nara Rinka raised his hands again and launched an attack on the two Iwagakure ninjas.

The moment you step onto the battlefield, you kill every enemy!

In this dark world of cannibalistic ninjas.

When facing enemies, Nara Rinkazu does not harbor any merciful or saintly thoughts.

"Stop the water!"

Nara Rinka raised her hands, and two jet-black bullets condensed at her fingertips once again.

But this time, Hunt and Firelight were not in the absolute darkness of the [Darkness Travel Technique].

Both of them noticed Nara Rinka's special no-seal ninjutsu.

The rebuttal that was about to come out was swallowed back down by the two Iwagakure ninjas.

Recalling the opponent's bullet with its unpredictable speed, the two Iwagakure ninjas, anticipating the direction of Nara Rinka's finger, simultaneously dodged to the side.

However, this time, Nara Rinka aimed not at the upper bodies of the two Iwagakure ninjas, but merely at their shadows.

【Spiral Shadow Binding Bullet】!

The jet-black bullet traveled at supersonic speed through the air, hurtling towards the two Iwagakure ninjas and disappearing directly into their shadows.

The instant the bullet and the shadow made contact, the Yin Release chakra accumulated within the black bullet erupted, transforming into shadow tentacles that bound the two Iwagakure ninja firmly to their spot.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?!"

Huoguang's pupils contracted slightly.

"Completely different from before!"

"I can't move my body!"

Shou was equally shocked, but the situation was urgent and he could not afford to hesitate.

"Some kind of special secret technique from Konoha?"

The inability to move or form hand seals is a fatal disadvantage for most low- to mid-level ninjas.

However, for certain ninjas with special bloodline limits, hand seals are not a "necessity" for casting spells.

As long as his chakra remains under control, Kari can condense his very special and very dangerous Explosion Release chakra!

The dual chakra natures were simultaneously extracted from Kari's body and instantly transformed into a completely new chakra nature. This chakra nature flowed into the earth below through the chakra channels in his feet.

"Explosion Escape·Landmine!"

Rumbling sounds erupted from the earth, as if some unknown terror was brewing underground, ready to be unleashed.

next moment.

Boom boom—

A deafening explosion erupted from underground, instantly blasting a crater several meters in diameter into the earth. Deep cracks covered the crater, a truly shocking sight.

Take advantage of the attack effect caused by "Explosive Release: Landmine".

Kari directly blocked the Konoha ninjas' advance.

Meanwhile, Huoguang took this opportunity to continuously refine and transform his earth-type chakra to enhance his own power.

"Earth Release: Rock Fist!"

Limited by the inability to form hand seals, Hikari was unable to fully utilize "Earth Release: Rock Fist," but he still managed to greatly enhance his explosive power with this ninjutsu, barely managing to break free from the control of "Spiral Shadow Binding Bullet."

However, at that moment, Uchiha Shisui, who had just received Nara Rinka's call, also completed his last hand seal at almost the same time.

Uchiha Shisui took two steps forward, took a deep breath, and unleashed his long-prepared ninjutsu attack on the two Iwagakure ninja in front of him.

"Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!"

Roar--

Accompanied by the faint roar of dragons, three incredibly powerful fire dragons were released by Uchiha Shisui, carrying terrifying temperatures capable of burning people to ashes, and bombarded the location of the two Iwagakure ninjas.

Hunt is taking the same self-rescue action as Firelight, but he is still bound by the Spiral Shadow Binding Bullet.

Sensing Uchiha Shisui's fire-style attack, the flames that had just broken free from the control effect of the [Spiral Shadow Binding Bullet] didn't have time to rest for a moment.

The Iwagakure Jonin gritted his teeth, constantly squeezing out the cellular energy within his body, converting it into earth-type chakra, and forming hand seals at the fastest speed he had ever done.

Three fire dragons attacked from the front, left, and right, generating waves of intense heat that nearly scorched and carbonized the hair of the Iwagakure ninja.

The firelight seal was completed, and his hands were suddenly pressed down on the ground.

"Earth Release: Earthquake Core!"

rumble--

A muffled sound erupted from the earth once more.

Around the spot where Huoguang and Shou were standing, the ground seemed to be driven by some force, and suddenly four incredibly thick earthen walls rose up.

The four earthen walls firmly protected the two Iwagakure Jonin within.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three fire dragons formed by the Great Dragon Fire Technique simultaneously bombarded the earthen wall formed by "Earth Release: Earthquake Core". The high-temperature flames scorched the soil and rocks, causing them to crack and break, but they still failed to penetrate the earthen wall's defense.

Taking this opportunity, Kari broke free from the control effect of [Spiral Shadow Binding Bullet] and stood side by side with Firelight.

"The enemy's strength is too troublesome!"

"Prepare to retreat!"

Although they are not the same words, they express roughly the same meaning.

The opponent's strength displayed in this ambush was astonishing.

Both Hunting and Firelight were not in good condition at the moment.

The only option was to retreat.

"team leader!"

Hinata Rei, his Byakugan wide open, used his powerful perception to penetrate the earth-style wall and see the actions of Kari and Hikari.

"Those two Iwagakure ninjas are still forming hand seals."

"Stop the water, protect everyone!"

Nara Rinka frowned, and his figure vanished from the spot.

The strength of the two Iwagakure members has been pretty much revealed in their recent sparring match.

According to Nara Rankei's assessment, the other party could be considered to be at the level of an elite Jonin, especially the ninja who had mastered the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai.

There are only two people in the Konoha team who can fight against an opponent of this strength.

Nara Rinka and Uchiha Shisui.

The rest of the ninjas were either wounded or medics.

The only one who has preserved his strength well is a Hyuga Chunin.

Nara Rinka had no choice but to leave Uchiha Shisui by the side of the team to prevent the Iwagakure ninjas from launching a surprise base raid.

Make sure to explain this sentence clearly.

Nara Rinka instantly appeared atop the earthen wall formed by "Earth Release: Earthquake Core," looking down at the Iwagakure ninja below who were forming hand seals and preparing to escape, raising his hands once more.

"It's that guy from before!"

"Watch out!"

[Shadow Piercing Bullet] - Rapid Fire!

bang bang bang-

A dense barrage of black bullets shot from Nara Rinka's fingertips, forming an impenetrable network of ammunition that surrounded and attacked the Iwagakure ninja below at supersonic speeds.

Under such high-frequency attacks.

Hunt and Firelight didn't have time to form hand seals or refine chakra; they could only dodge based on their body's instincts.

But how fast is the attack speed of [Shadow Piercing Bullet]?

No matter how much Shou and Huoguang dodged, they were repeatedly struck in the body, and clusters of blood bloomed on their bodies.

Knowing that if they continued to dodge, they would both die under the attack of this Konoha ninja, in the grave they had dug for themselves called "Earth Release: Earthquake Core".

The ever-approaching aura of death made Hunter's nerves grow increasingly calm.

He refined the special chakra within his body once more, allowing the black bullets to attack him without giving up his punching motion.

"Explosive Release: Landmine Fist!"

Boom!

The incredibly violent Explosion Release chakra was injected into the earth, instantly creating a surge of earth that resembled a tidal wave.

The physical defense formed by this soil gave the two Iwagakure ninja a brief respite.

Hunt sensed his own condition and gave a bleak smile.

"Firelight, I'll cover your retreat, you escape!"

Firelight knew his companion's character and knew that the other was determined to use his life to buy himself time to escape.

The battle situation left him no time for sentimentality, so he could only nod silently.

Seeing this, Gari, despite his severe injuries, charged toward Nara Rinka's location.

"You guys from Konoha, let me show you what the Will of Stone really is!"

"Explosion Release: Self-Destructing Mine!"

boom--

Sorry for the late update again... *facepalm*
