Chapter 3: The Eyes Are the King of Ninjutsu! (Please add to your favorites and recommend!)

Unexpectedly triggering a task and unlocking new features on the panel brought Nara Rinka a great deal of joy.

More importantly, it seems that this B-level mission can be easily completed with the help of a powerful player!

With the Sannin facing Jonin, isn't the advantage in my favor?

Nara Rinka glanced expectantly at Tsunade beside her. Tsunade's profile glowed in the pale moonlight, like an invincible and powerful Valkyrie...

However, this game doesn't seem to be a game where you can just get carried to victory!

The blonde older sister's unparalleled charm ultimately failed to completely bewitch Nara Rinka.

At this stage, Tsunade's apparent strength and prestige are indeed formidable.

However, we must not overlook her weakness – hemophobia!

As early as during the Second Shinobi World War, Tsunade experienced the deaths of her younger brother Nawaki and her boyfriend Dan Kato.

Even the most exquisite medical ninjutsu could not save the two corpses that had completely lost their life force.

The extremely painful personal experience left Tsunade with extremely deep trauma, to the point that she developed hemophobia, which is considered fatal for a ninja!

Even the slightest glimpse of blood would leave this "Number One Healer in the Ninja World" weak and trembling, completely losing her fighting ability.

This is top-secret information known to only a very few people in Konoha Village.

"Can Tsunade completely eliminate the opposing Iwagakure Jonin before her hemophobia flares up?"

Nara Rinka glanced at Tsunade, then looked at the empty road ahead, without a definite answer in his mind.

Meanwhile, Tsunade, who seemed confident and fearless, was also rapidly thinking about this problem.

If it weren't for her hemophobia, even if another class of those guys came, Tsunade could easily smash them all into tiny pancakes with a single punch, like whack-a-mole.

But unfortunately, she developed hemophobia!

If the enemy bleeds, Tsunade will likely lose her ability to fight completely.

Even if one's own side is injured and bleeding, the situation will be the same.

"We must kill them without taking any damage!"

Tsunade's gaze was resolute.

"Or it could be a fatal blow!"

Generally speaking, when a spy ninja is discovered by chance, capturing him alive is far more valuable than killing him.

However, Tsunade is not confident that she can capture a Jonin-level enemy alive without taking any damage; the risk of battle is simply too high!

If you can't capture the enemy alive, the only option is to kill them on the spot.

For Tsunade, who is proficient in medical ninjutsu, "killing without injury" is not a particularly difficult operation.

By using the A-rank medical ninjutsu "Chakra Scalpel," one can sever the enemy's internal muscles, blood vessels, and even bones without leaving any external wounds, thereby causing fatal injuries!

The real difficulty lies in the fact that the enemy spy is no ordinary person, and he also possesses an extremely rare "advanced stealth technique". Tsunade's perception ability is not able to accurately sense the enemy's location, size and posture.

Both healing and offensive medical ninjutsu require extremely high precision.

Using the "Chakra Scalpel" to attack unseen enemies, one may accidentally strike the wrong part of the body.

If you're lucky, it might even be able to achieve a "one-hit kill" effect.

However, if things go wrong, it could cause minor injuries and bleeding to the enemy, thus completely reversing the course of the battle...

"It seems the only option is to continuously adjust the battle strategy based on the actual combat situation."

While pondering, Tsunade basically finalized her battle plan.

"What a hassle! If it weren't for this kid next to me..."

Tsunade turned to look at Nara Rinka beside her, and saw that the latter was staring seriously at the empty road in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh.

Oh well! Who told me to take on his B-level mission?

"There is no such thing as a perfect ninjutsu in the world. Every ninjutsu has its flaws."

Tsunade reached out and gently patted Nara Ranka's head.

"Kid, let me teach you how to break this invisibility ninjutsu that's similar to the 'penetration technique'!"

Transparency is a special bloodline limit ability possessed by the Moonlight Clan of Konoha Village. Its basic effect is to "eliminate one's own aura and make the whole body transparent."

Tsunade had some understanding of the Transparent Release, partly because this bloodline limit ability was special and rare, and extremely difficult for ordinary ninjas who were not from the Uchiha or Hyuga clans to counter.

On the other hand, she has to "thank" her good teammate who likes to peep into women's bathhouses. The latter has been pursuing this kind of special ability that allows people to remain invisible since childhood.

For the reasons mentioned above, Tsunade not only knew how "Transparent Release" worked, but also had a general idea of ​​how to counter such invisibility abilities.

So what if you can't see through the enemy's stealth technique?

All you need to do is prevent the enemy from becoming invisible!

"But then again, clans like the Uchiha and Hyuga, with their distinctive eye sockets, are truly enviable in certain situations..."

The blond, fat sheep, who came from the Senju clan, sighed inwardly.

At this moment, the Iwagakure Jonin Daishi remained in his original posture, standing motionless in place, his body transparent and invisible.

Ninja Technique: Camouflage Concealment.

This is a high-level secret ninjutsu of Iwagakure that Daishi has mastered. It involves forming hand seals and extracting and manipulating chakra to make the whole body transparent, while tightening and isolating the body's aura, making the person's presence very faint.

Unless facing a clan with dojutsu like the Uchiha or Hyuga, Daishi can basically avoid the observation and perception of most ninjas by using the effect of Ninjutsu: Camouflage Concealment. This secret technique is also his greatest reliance for spying on Kikyo Castle!

Of course, just as Tsunade said, camouflage is by no means a perfect invisibility technique.

One of the drawbacks of camouflage is that it cannot conceal the noise generated by the air currents when the caster moves at high speed.

While maintaining its transparent state, Oishi continuously refined chakra, transforming its nature into earth attribute, and temporarily stored it within its body.

An ordinary ninja might not be able to detect the faint sound he makes when moving at high speed while in camouflage.

However, Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin, would definitely not be unaware of it!

"The only thing I can do is try to create an opportunity to escape using earth magic."

Oishi wasn't arrogant enough to think he could handle Tsunade on his own, even though she had a burden with her.

"Fortunately, the mission to spy on Kikyo Castle is basically over. It's just that the headmistress of that orphanage we just passed looked so much like that priestess… No, there's no need to dwell on that now!"

Daishi cleared his mind of distractions, calmed down, and stared intently at Tsunade and Nara Rinka, not missing a single move they made.

Just as Tsunade raised her hand to stroke Nara Rinka's head, a glint of light flashed in Oishi's eyes.

"Now! Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear!"

The earth-attribute chakra that Daishi had refined for a long time was released through his chakra points, spreading and flowing into the ground in front of him. Suddenly, a rumbling noise came from the flat ground, and the earth trembled slightly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as Oishi completed the hand seals for the Earth Release technique, one after another, thick as giant trees and sharp as towering, menacing earthen spears rose from the ground and attacked Tsunade and Nara Rin with lightning speed, raising countless dust and debris in the process.

"A ground-based technique at that speed has a long way to go before it can hit me!"

Tsunade's hand, which had been resting on Nara Ranka's head, slid downwards and instead grabbed the back of his collar. With a powerful leap, she deftly dodged the imposing earthen spear.

At the same time, Tsunade's gaze passed over the swirling dust and smoke and the jagged clusters of earth spikes, looking towards their end from afar.

She knew very well that the starting point of this earth-style ninjutsu was the location of the enemy village spy.

Should we attack? A thought flashed through Tsunade's mind.

No! She immediately rejected her idea.

At such a distance, I'm not confident I can deliver a fatal blow!

After a brief hesitation, Tsunade abandoned the idea of ​​taking the initiative to attack, but she did not forget the teachings she had given to Nara Rinka earlier.

"Watch closely, kid!"

Tsunade, who had ascended to heaven with Nara Rinka, also raised her index and middle fingers, placed them on her chest, and refined her chakra. A layer of dense, misty green light then covered her entire body.

"Strange power!"

Super Strength, Tsunade's most familiar direct combat ability, is essentially the ability to unleash tremendous physical power by precisely controlling one's chakra.

Over the years, Tsunade has used her "superhuman strength" to violently crush countless enemies.

But what few people know is that superhuman strength is not only applicable to fist fighting techniques!

woo-

Just as Tsunade unleashed her monstrous strength, a powerful gust of air, comparable to a hurricane, suddenly erupted from her delicate body, surging towards the misty dust below and easily sweeping it away.

Oishi, who had just created a precious opportunity and was planning to use Earth Release ninjutsu to escape underground, was caught off guard and hit squarely by this violent airflow!

Because of the hand seals forced upon him to perform the "Earth Dragon Spear" technique, Oishi has already exited the transparent state of his camouflage concealment.

At this moment, the gray-yellow figure standing in the gale, covered in dust, was extremely conspicuous!

Both Tsunade and Nara Rinka clearly saw the other's presence.

"not good!"

Daishi frowned deeply and decisively sped up the hand seals.

Tsunade accurately captured this scene, but instead of immediately pressing her advantage, she abandoned Nara Ranka first, and then deliberately lingered half a beat behind the rising earthen spears, almost letting the opponent disappear into the ground.

"Finally, the opportunity has arrived!"

Even though the enemy had already fled underground, Tsunade wasn't in a bad mood, as this was one of the battle strategies she had planned.

Gazing at the ground in front of her, where traces of Earth Release were faintly visible, Tsunade raised her small fist once more.

This time, we're going all out:

"Strange power!"

boom!!

With a deafening roar, countless pieces of mud and rocks shot out in all directions from the point where Tsunade's fist struck, and the newly risen earthen spears were like fragile reeds, breaking apart and collapsing one by one.

The deep, chiseled cracks spread outwards like a spider web at an extremely rapid speed. The once flat ground was blasted into a terrifying crater nearly ten meters deep by Tsunade's "Super Strength Fist"!

Nara Rinka raised his arms to shield his face from the flying sand and stones in front of him. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the ground in front of him that had been ravaged by the monstrous fat sheep, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Is this the power of the little fists of the number one healer in the ninja world?

That's absolutely terrifying!

Thick, dark red blood seeped from the cracks in the earth, with a few drops staining Tsunade's fist.

"Blood……"

The blinding crimson color was reflected in Tsunade's clear brown eyes. The once majestic and powerful princess trembled, her face turned pale, and she collapsed weakly into the pit.

Nara Ranke ran over from behind, intending to help Tsunade up, but suddenly a strange sound came from the ground.

Kaka-

At the edge of the dilapidated ground and the pit, a human-shaped mound covered with cracks rose up in a bizarre way. The original color of the yellow soil was completely covered and obscured by the scarlet red of blood, and the pungent smell of blood drifted and lingered on the evening breeze.

"That ninja spy from earlier isn't dead?"

Tsunade's pupils contracted sharply as she tried to muster some strength and courage from her trembling body, but the terrifying crimson color seemed to transport her back to the battlefield of the Second Shinobi World War.

Under the impact of this bloody smell, the valiant Tsunade was transformed into a frail and delicate withered flower.

"The Nara family's..."

"Stop looking."

Tsunade's trembling eyes were covered by her fair and slender hands, and Nara Rinka's gentle voice rang in her ears.

"Leave it to me now."

As soon as Nara Lan Gui finished speaking, the human-shaped mound soaked in blood shattered, revealing its true form.

The Iwagakure spy, Oishi, looked like a bloody mess, with almost no good flesh left on his body. However, his ordinary black eyes shone with an incredibly terrifying light of life.

If he hadn't sped up his hand seals, if he hadn't used his most proficient Earth Release technique, if he hadn't fully utilized his survival instincts... he would have been punched to death by that woman!

Even so, Daishi still had multiple fractures and bleeding all over his body, and if he did not receive timely treatment, he would almost certainly die.

Are these the legendary Sannin?

A power that inspires despair!

Unfortunately……

"Hahaha!"

Staring directly at Tsunade, who was slumped in the pit, Oishi let out a terrifying, owl-like laugh.

"Is this Tsunade? Such a powerful ninja, yet she inexplicably lost her fighting ability? Was it exhaustion? Or... something else?"

Unable to understand the reason, Oishi simply stopped thinking about it. He struggled to pull a kunai from a hidden pocket in his clothes. The dark red iron tip, stained with a lot of blood, was pointed directly at Tsunade and Nara Ranka's heads, his brutal killing intent undisguised.

"I'll take the heads of the three legendary ninjas!"

"Third Master, my mission... is complete!"

Nara Rinka stood behind Tsunade, covering her eyes with his hands, and stared calmly at the Iwagakure spy.

The pro player unexpectedly disconnected and couldn't carry the team, so I'll have to take over myself!

[Shadow Convergence Technique!]

A shadowy tentacle silently emerged from Nara Ranka's feet, slid up his right leg, reached for the ninja tool pouch at his lower back, and deftly pulled out a specially made kunai with a timed explosive tag attached.

laugh--

A cold glint appeared first, and a pitch-black kunai, gleaming with a chilling light, flew out from behind Nara Rinka at lightning speed. The explosive tag, which had been ignited at some unknown time, left a trail of smoke and flames in mid-air.

"An explosive tag kunai?"

Oishi didn't see Nara Rin's throwing motion clearly, but with just a simple sidestep, his Jonin-level explosive power allowed him to easily dodge the special kunai thrown by Nara Rin.

"Too slow, kid!"

Even in his severely injured state, Oishi's combat experience and reaction speed were still beyond what Nara Ranke could capture or keep up with.

But Nara Rinka never expected that he could kill a Jonin with a kunai.

Boom!

A loud roar echoed from behind the boulder, and the brilliant firelight illuminated his already bloodied body, making him look like a ferocious demon, while also elongating his shadow.

A scorching hot shockwave surged from behind. Da Shi felt a slight heat on his back, and his heavily injured body was almost knocked off balance by the shockwave from the explosive tag.

"A very high-level explosive tag! We have to be careful! That brat on the other side might be hiding some tricks to turn the tide!"

Daishi was quite cautious and did not rush into anything, but continued to probe with words.

"This is your last—"

boom!

But before he could finish speaking, Daishi's voice was interrupted by another roar from behind.

But this time, it's not an explosive tag.

A blindingly bright light emanated from behind the boulder, magnifying his already elongated shadow several times over.

What Nara Rangatsu just threw out wasn't just an ordinary explosive tag kunai, but an explosive flash kunai!

At the very moment the flashbang exploded, Oishi's shadow and Nara Rinka's shadow completely overlapped!

A deep shadow spread and flowed in Nara Rinka's eyes, and countless shadow tentacles rose up from behind him.

The intense white light from the burning flashbang shone on Nara Ranka's face.

The jet-black pupils and pure white sclera together form a pair of dark, ghostly eyes that seem to come from hell.

"Listen, the corpse is talking."

According to official data, the Nara clan's secret techniques are mostly classified as "Secretly Passed - No Rank," with the only A-rank technique being "Shadow Slap Technique" (the shadow yo-yo that Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino used together to unleash during the Fourth Shinobi World War...).

Regarding the Nara clan's [Shadow Technique] skill levels in this book, there is a double standard, which will be explained below.
